Chapter 164: Controlling the Corpse

"...... this?"

Seeing this sudden scene, Gray, who had already given up on Gray, hesitated slightly, turned around and slowly leaned over.

He was on guard that he would flee as soon as he found that these blood beasts showed signs of coming back to life.

It's just that until they came closer, these blood beasts still showed no signs of getting up and attacking.

He even kicked with his foot, but there was still no response, these blood beasts that were originally corpses seemed to have completely turned into corpses this time.

He already had a guess in his heart, and he stepped over these blood beasts and came to the clearing in the forest, and saw that in the clearing, the ape-type blood beast had turned into an ice sculpture, and it was too dead to die.

"At the beginning, the wind blade should not have been able to kill it, so it was able to send an attack signal to the blood beasts controlled by it, and the reason why it died in the end should be the reason why the ice spread throughout the body."

Looking at the corpse of the ape-type blood beast, Gray guessed in his heart.

Crack open the ice, and after the ice melts, Gray fills an empty kettle with the blood of an ape-type blood beast.

"Didn't carry a rune bag."

Looking at the blood that kept flowing out of the ape-type blood beast's body, Gray could only shake his head helplessly.

His target this time was the ruins, and he didn't think about hunting the blood beasts, and the original plan was to try to avoid the blood beasts after encountering them, so he brought things related to survival in the wild, and he didn't carry a rune bag.

Putting away the kettle filled with the blood of the ape-type blood beast, Gray couldn't help but look at the seven blood beasts that were lying on their backs not far away, and his heart was full of pity.

"It's a pity that it's only been less than two months since I last took the blood of the blood beast, otherwise, if I take the blood of this ape-type blood beast now, I can obtain the corpse-controlling ability of the ape-type blood beast, and I will immediately be able to obtain an army of blood beasts."

According to his observations during the day, even the wind wolf he killed, there should be a total of nine blood beast corpses controlled by the ape-type blood beast.

In addition to the seven in front of him, there is also a yellow-haired blood beast, which should be lurking by the stream now, hunting for the ape-type blood beast.

In other words, if he has the ability to control the corpse now, he will immediately be able to possess nine blood beasts if he connects to the corpse of the ape-type blood beast, and you can imagine how much his combat power will be enhanced after possessing these nine blood beasts.

"No, maybe not."

Gray suddenly thought of something, according to his estimate, the reason why he couldn't swallow the blood of the blood beast continuously could be twofold.

On the one hand, it is the time interval between swallows, and on the other hand, it is the body's ability to endure, and he feels that the most likely influencing factor should be the body's ability to endure.

Indeed, it had been less than two months since he last swallowed the blood of the Wind Wolf and achieved a transformation.

However, his strength has improved from a high-ranking blood warrior to a fierce blood warrior, and the improvement of his physical fitness far exceeds that of a lower-level blood warrior to a middle-rank blood warrior, and a middle-level blood warrior to an upper-rank blood warrior.

With such a large physical improvement, now that nearly two months have passed, he feels that swallowing the blood of an ape-type blood beast now should not have much impact on his body, at most his body will become extremely tired.

"Gollum—"

Thinking of this, Gray swallowed violently at the location of the ape-type blood beast's wound that was leaving blood out.

He is not looking for another safe place, if there is a safest place at this moment, it is here.

As a blood beast that controls nine blood beasts, it is certain that the territory of the ape-type blood beast is extremely wide, and at this time, the ape-type blood beast has just died, and the other blood beasts will not come here at all in a short time, so this is the safest place.

Hula!

As soon as the ape-like blood beast's blood was swallowed, a hot sensation appeared from Gray's stomach and spread throughout his body.

Gray felt like he was being roasted on a fire, sweat sliding down his body, and in just a few moments, his whole body was wet.

His mind was dazed and crimson, like a seriously ill patient with a high fever, and he had lost his sense of time and his surroundings.

At this time, if a blood beast attacked, he probably didn't even have the power to backhand.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen, as he expected, the ape-type blood beast lair at this time was the safest place.

I don't know how long it took for his mind to finally come to his senses, but it was followed by extreme fatigue, not only physically, but also mentally.

Tired as if he hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, he fell into a deep sleep, and the moment he fell asleep, he came to the conclusion that.

"It's the same as the last time I took Cold Tiger Blood, it's a little reluctant!"

His strength has indeed increased greatly from a high-level blood warrior to a fierce blood warrior, but this range, although it can support him to take blood beast blood twice in a short period of time, is a bit reluctant.

In the morning, the sun was shining on Gray's face, and my eyelids moved heavily, finally open.

Still feeling tired, he struggled to sit up.

"Goo-"

A strange sound sounded, it was a serious protest in the stomach.

Yesterday, in order to hunt the ape-type blood beast, he has been hiding in the shadows, and naturally he did not eat in the process.

In addition, in the process of devouring an ape-type blood beast to obtain transformation, the body will definitely consume a lot of nutrients, and it is normal for the stomach to protest.

Taking out the dry food, Gray swallowed it and gobbled it up, so that the stock of dry food was reduced a lot, and then he stopped.

Fortunately, he has a lot of strength and a lot of dry food on his back, otherwise with his food, he can only hunt and eat in the end.

Then he stood up and looked at the ape-type blood beast body next to him, in order to obtain the ape-type blood beast's corpse control ability, he had suffered a lot, and now it was time to test the harvest.

Staring at the ape-type blood beast's body, he imagined controlling the ape-type blood beast's corpse, and then, a strange scene appeared.

The palm of his left hand was slightly itchy, and when he looked sideways, he saw the position of the palm of his left hand, and suddenly, a crack appeared almost across the palm, but unexpectedly, no blood flowed out of it.

The crack slowly opened, like a mouth slowly opening, and at the same time, in the crack, a black ball of flesh covered with tentacles could be faintly seen.

Finally, the crack opened to the maximum, and the spherical thing fell from Gray's palm and fell to the ground.

After landing, the numerous tentacles on the flesh-like thing wriggled like earthworms, dragging the flesh balls to climb up the ape-type blood beast's body, and crawled into it through the ape-shaped blood beast's open mouth.

Then, the body of the ape-like blood beast that had already died began to change.

It was as if there was a nervous reaction, and he trembled slightly from time to time.

Bang dang!

More than ten minutes later, the slight tremors that appeared from time to time on the ape-type blood beast's body disappeared, and then the ape-type blood beast suddenly opened its eyes and rolled over and climbed up.

The wound on its chest was still hideous, but it didn't affect it in the slightest.

At this moment, Gray felt that he had established some kind of connection with the ape-type bloodbeast, and he only needed to issue a command to the ape-type bloodbeast in his heart, and the ape-type bloodbeast would act according to his orders.

"Take five steps forward."

He gave such an order in his heart.

Then I saw the ape-type blood beast raise its legs and walk forward, no more, no less, just five steps.

"Squat."

"Prostrate forward."

……

It's like playing a remote control toy version of his previous life, manipulating the ape-type blood beast, and Gray has a general understanding of the corpse-controlling ability obtained from the ape-type blood beast and the blood beast controlled by the corpse control ability.

"The controlled blood beast has no autonomous consciousness, but it has some simple execution ability."

Gray discovers that the controlled blood beast has the ability to execute his orders that are not too complicated.

For example, if Gray now orders the ape-haired bloodbeast to go to the stream and move the yellow-haired bloodbeast over, the ape-bloodbeast will go to find the yellow-haired bloodbeast and move it, and Gray does not need to give any other orders during the whole process.

"And the black meat ball can secrete a substance that prevents the corpse from decaying, so that the corpse will not lose its combat power due to decay."

"The only pity is that the controlled blood beast will lose other abilities except physical ability, but this is normal, after all, the blood beast is dead."

Blood beast abilities such as wind blades and flames, even if they are used by blood beasts, need to be supported by blood power.

And because the blood beast has died, it is naturally impossible for the body to produce blood power, so the controlled blood beast will lose the ability to cast wind blades, flames, etc., and only retain the physical ability.

"But even so, it is already an extremely powerful ability, controlling so many blood beasts, even if it only has physical ability, it is enough to sweep most of the blood beasts, if there are enough blood beasts, it is not impossible to fight beyond the level."

Gray didn't regret that the controlled blood beast couldn't use the blood beast ability, Gray came to the previous seven blood beast corpses, used the same method, and controlled the seven blood beast corpses, and then came to the stream, found the yellow-haired blood beast, and also controlled it.

In the stream, taking a bath, changing clothes, and taking a full nine blood beasts, Gray set out to find the ruins.

A day later in the morning.

"It should be half a day away."

Looking at the map in his hand, Gray judged.

Putting the map away, Gray walked forward, probably for more than an hour, when suddenly, Gray stopped, and he looked down at what was under his feet.

It was a black, burnt ash with some unburned firewood next to it.

"Anyone camping here? And it should be the last few days......"

Judging by how old and new the ashes are, this pile of ashes should have been left over from the last few days.

If it takes too long, it will inevitably be covered with mud due to wind and rain.

But the pile of ashes still remained the same as when it was burning, and this was not the case, so Gray judged that this pile of ashes should have been left over from the last few days.

"Who left it?"

Suddenly, Gray's face changed, and a possibility came to mind.

"It's not far from the ruins, so you can't go for the ruins, right?"

Now he was at most an hour or two away from the location of the ruins, and at such a close distance, it was entirely possible that the other party was heading towards the ruins.

Moreover, even if you don't go to the ruins, it's not impossible to run into the ruins by chance if you're so close to the ruins.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up, he must not let the ruins be taken by others, otherwise, the more than half a month of time brought from Sidney to the Oka Collar would basically be wasted.

More than an hour later, Gray was extremely close to the ruins.

Ang –

Suddenly, an angry blood beast roar sounded, with extreme anger in its voice, as if it had been provoked.

And the direction of this sound is the direction of the ruins.

He couldn't help but hurry in this direction.
