It was a huge fox-type blood beast with a body length of eight meters, and its fur was supple and extremely neat, as if it had been carefully trimmed.

At night, the hairs glow a dark blue glow, making the surrounding woods visible.

It walked towards Gray with graceful steps, not in a hurry or in any hurry, like a noble lady on an evening walk, and looked at Gray very casually, but Gray had a creepy feeling.

Desolate Blood Beast !!

The blood beast in front of him was definitely a living desolate blood beast.

"Could it be that all these ghosts were made by it?"

A living desolate blood beast, surrounded by more than a dozen desolate blood beast ghosts, but it was not attacked, made Gray think of a magical weapon he saw at an auction.

Creatures killed by the magic weapon are transformed into ghosts and are controlled by the owner of the magic weapon.

Could this desolate blood beast in front of him also have the means to kill other blood beasts and transform other blood beasts into ghosts?

Although ghosts can also be generated naturally, it is obvious that the environment that can produce ghosts is very special and difficult to encounter, unless it is artificially created like in the night forest, so it is more likely that these ghosts were killed and created by the desolate blood beast in front of them.

The desolate blood beast just looked at Gray very indifferently, but it made Gray feel cold in his hands and feet, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Sou!

Without any hesitation, Gray activated the teleportation ability of the purple magic ring.

And just when he activated the teleportation ability, the desolate blood beast seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly burst out, turning into a dark blue light, and rushed towards Gray, with sharp claws, half a meter long, grabbing Gray.

The light and shadow flickered, Gray's figure disappeared, and the desolate blood beast grabbed over Gray's afterimage and crashed into the woods behind him, and suddenly a forest collapsed.

Then there was a shrill roar, and a large area of the forest collapsed, as if very angry that the prey had escaped from under its claws.

When Gray reappeared, he had already appeared in another wooded area thousands of miles away.

"Phew—"

After taking a look at his surroundings and confirming that the desolate blood beast had not teleported with him, Gray was completely relieved.

Just a little, just a little, he might be cut in half by the claws of the desolate blood beast.

He had no doubt that the claws of the Desolate Blood Beast would be able to do it.

The huge gap between the two levels made him no different from the child in front of the blood warrior in front of the desolate blood beast.

If you want to carry the opponent's claw, it is only possible until his strength reaches that of a brute blood warrior, and he also swallows the blood of the iron-armored rhinoceros, and can combine the defense of the iron-armored rhinoceros with the metalization of the copper-backed dragon beast.

"I didn't expect the ability to control corpses, there would be such a weakness, but fortunately, ghosts are not common."

"It's another fox-type blood beast that has the ability to create ghosts, so if you have the chance, you must get it."

The ability to manipulate ghosts, although it is quite fragile in the face of flames and lightning abilities with restraint effects, but when facing some specific blood beasts and blood warriors, it can often play a miraculous effect, and if it is used well, it is absolutely easy to fight beyond the level.

Of course, with Gray's current strength, there was no possibility of hunting that fox-type blood beast at all, even if Gray's strength reached the brute level, it would be difficult to do so.

The natural difference in rank makes it difficult for Gray to defeat a desolate blood beast at the barbarian level, unless the blood beast abilities are mixed, allowing Gray's combat power to leapfrog from the barbarian level to the desolate level.

The night breeze blew, and Gray felt a chill on his body, and when he looked at himself, he realized that his clothes were already soaked in cold sweat.

After releasing the two brute-level blood beasts that could be controlled from the purple magic ring, and confirming that there was no danger around, Gray took out a tent again, set up it, and changed his clothes.

Taking the fanged pig carcass and the ghost blade mantis carcasses out of the purple magic ring, Gray looked at the two blood beast corpses.

There was not a single wound on the surface of the corpses of the two blood beasts, and it was impossible for a wound to appear in the face of the attack of a disembodied creature like a ghost.

"I wonder if I can control it?"

Gray used his corpse control ability to regain control, and accidentally found that under the corpse control ability, the two blood beasts were controlled again.

"It seems that only the core that controls the blood beast has been destroyed, and the rest of the brain has not been destroyed."

Gray speculated.

After the dangers of the first night, and the rest of the time, Gray tried to choose some of the waypoints on the outskirts of the forest, and he never encountered danger again.

Teleportation combined with walking, and a few days later, he returned to Fergus Castle.

"Master Gray!"

"Master Gray!"

Respectfully addressed by one of the castle's servants, Gray arrived at Fergus Castle.

After nearly a month of leaving the castle, the castle has not changed much, and it is still in a half-dilapidated state as it was at the beginning.

The new Fergus Castle is already under construction and will be ready to move in as soon as it is built, and the old castle has not been repaired, so it has been left as it is.

Upon learning of Gray's return, Earl Fergus, Sarah, Barbara, Bernal and others all came to greet him.

"I'm back!"

The Earl of Fergus was as majestic as ever, but after seeing Gray, he still showed a kind smile.

"Brother."

"Master Gray!"

Sarah happily ran up and hugged one of Gray's arms, while Barbara stepped forward with a gentle smile.

Bernal, Bernice, Caroline, Ellis, and Madame Milan also stepped forward, and beside them a middle-aged female servant followed suit, and in her hand a petite baby was in her hands.

The baby had blue eyes and blond fluffy hair, and was looking at Gray with a pair of large eyes.

By the time Gray left the castle, Bernice had been giving birth, and now nearly a month had passed, apparently having given birth.

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

Gray smiled and walked over.

"It's a young master!"

The middle-aged maid replied.

"What's your name?"

Gray asked, looking at Bernal and Bernice with happy smiles on their faces.

"Edgar, Edgar. Fergus, that's the name his father gave him! ”

The baby was born, Gray returned, and the whole Fergus Castle was in a festive atmosphere.

Lunch was made of the flesh and blood of a mad blood beast, and under the skill of the castle chef, the taste was superb, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

After lunch, Gray told the three Saroyan siblings about the situation.

"I didn't expect Young Master Saroyan to make such a decision."

Count Fergus sighed slightly.

The Sidney family, what a powerful family, among the family, three brute blood warriors are in charge, and there is a desolate special blood beast copperback dragon beast as a background, even in the Marquis family, it can be ranked in the forefront.

But it was such a family, but such a misfortune happened, and finally forced the descendants to seek refuge in the royal capital.

"During this time, everything is normal in Fergus Collar, right?"

Not wanting to dwell too much on this depressing topic, Gray asked digressively.

It was learned from Earl Fergus and Bernal that during his absence, everything was normal in Fergus.

The new Fergus Castle, under the supervision of the Fergus family, is already half-built, and should be able to move in for two or three months at most.

The new territory was also taken over and managed quite smoothly, and with the strength of the Fergus family now, those who were assigned to the territory of the Fergus family were very happy to become the subjects of the Fergus family.

At the same time, some families expressed their desire to become subordinates to the Fergus family.

However, because of his previous experience of betrayal, the Earl of Fergus did not immediately accept them, but conducted a comprehensive investigation of them.

It is absolutely impossible to divide the nobles like grass on the wall.

"I have decided to promote two barons among the lords, install them in the newly received territory, and strengthen the management of the new territory, Gray, do you have a more optimistic family?"

Speaking of territory, Earl Fergus asked.

"I'm more optimistic about Lord Linde's Nissan family."

Gray didn't shirk either, and directly proposed one.

Lord Linde, the commander of the Fergus Castle guard, has always taken good care of Gray, and he did not hesitate to conflict with Ellis for Gray's sake, but now that he has the opportunity, Gray naturally doesn't mind pushing the other party's family.

"Lord Linde? The last time I was able to stick to the side of the Fergus family, there was no problem with loyalty, and the Naniassen family was counted as one. ”

The Earl of Fergus nodded in agreement.

With Gray's current status in the Fergus family, the Earl of Fergus would not object to the proposal given as long as it was not too improper.

In the end, the two families promoted to the Baron family were completely determined, namely the Nisson family and the Harry family.

In the afternoon, Gray went to visit Master Duru, who still lived in Fergus Castle, and had occupied a room in the backyard of the Fergus family, which was used as an alchemy room, and then spent almost the whole day in it.

Gray told each other about the decision of the three Saroyan siblings, causing the other party to sigh as well.

The three Saroyan siblings were grown up under his watch, but now they are suffering from such family changes, which makes him very uncomfortable.
