Chapter 506: Ice King Beast
After staying in the royal capital for a month, Gray said goodbye to Sophia, Francis and others and left the royal capital, using spatial teleportation, and after several moves, he appeared in the basement of the residence of the Storm Mercenary Group in the Mercenary City.
"Lord Gray!"
Meet the arrival of Gray, Marlowe. Sydney saluted respectfully.
Gray nodded and asked.
"Contact me because you've found an ice-type king-level blood beast?"
"Yes, my lord, we have already searched for the ice-type king-level blood beast you asked us to search."
Mallowe replied.
"Oh, where?"
Gray asked with interest.
"In the crocodile swamp."
"Do you have a detailed map?"
Gray is aware of the Crocodile Swamp, which is a swamp located in the western part of the kingdom, and is called the Crocodile Swamp because there are many crocodile-type blood beasts in the swamp.
"Yes, the place where the ice king-level blood beast was found has been marked with a red fork."
Marlow. Sydney hurriedly handed over a map, Gray took it and opened it, and on the map, a red cross was extremely eye-catching.
"My lord, do you need me to arrange someone to guide you?"
Marlow. Sydney asked cautiously.
"No, just keep the status quo with the Storm Mercenary Regiment, be careful not to expose your relationship with me, and notify me immediately if there is any news about the Flame Kingdom."
Gray shook his head in command.
"Yes, sir."
Marlow. Sydney respectfully should be, although he is a powerhouse of the third level of the desolate level, he does not have the slightest arrogance in front of Gray, and even in his heart, he does not have the slightest dissatisfaction with Gray.
The soul of the other party who used the resurrection ability to resurrect is no longer the original soul, but the soul that was reborn because of Gray's ability, and the respect and loyalty for Gray is definitely greater than that of the so-called dead.
Using spatial teleportation to drive a distance, and then there was no spatial teleportation, Gray mimicked blue-black wings and began to fly and hurry, spending a day and rushing out of the crocodile swamp.
Late in the day, he settled into a small town inn outside the crocodile swamp.
"Did you hear that? Something strange happened in the crocodile swamp. ”
In the hotel, there are more than ten tables, several of which have been occupied, and the diners should be from the same mercenary group.
Crocodile leather is a high-quality material for making war uniforms, so from time to time, mercenary groups will come here to hunt crocodile-type blood beasts.
The conversation of five mercenaries at one of the tables caught Gray's attention.
"What's weird?"
Someone at the same table asked.
"There's fog in the crocodile swamp."
The mercenary who spoke just now said.
"Foggy at this time?"
Someone next to him was surprised.
At this time, it is summer, and it is the hottest time of the year, so it is common sense to assume that there should be no fog.
"And that's not the weirdest thing."
The person who spoke up before glanced at the few people at the same table and said.
"Isn't that weird? What's weirder? ”
Several people at the same table looked at the former with curiosity, and even the people at the next table also looked at this side when they heard their conversation.
"Some mercenary groups thought it was strange, so they sent people in to investigate, and as a result, all the people who went to investigate returned to their original places in a circle."
Being stared at by so many people, the mercenary who spoke felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied, and suddenly said in a loud voice.
"Back where you came?"
"Yes, the people sent to investigate, no matter how they go, will eventually return to where they were, and they will not be able to enter the depths of the fog at all."
……
Gray held his chin slightly with one hand, and it was obvious that the fog was very abnormal, whether it was the time of appearance or the characteristics of people going around to the original place, it meant that the fog was abnormal and not naturally generated.
"Is it some kind of mist made by a blood beast?"
According to Gray's estimation, these fogs are likely to be created by the blood beast ability of a certain type of blood beast, and they should have hallucinogenic abilities that can affect people's senses, so that people will unconsciously return to their original places.
On the second day, Gray set out into the Crocodile Swamp.
The crocodile swamp is naturally dominated by swampy terrain, the soil is too wet, the ground is soft, and there is a lot of decaying silt.
Only a fraction of the people who die in the crocodile swamp are killed by the blood beasts every year, and a large number die under the terrain of the crocodile swamp.
This kind of terrain is naturally nothing to Gray, who has the ability to fly, and with his wings flapping, he flew over the swamp and headed towards the place where the ice king-level blood beast was found in the map mark.
Swish!
In the midst of the swamp sludge, a blood beast with brown skin and about the same color as the mud spotted Gray flying in the air, its huge mouth opened, and a compressed water blade slashed at Gray.
Click!
When the water knife was about to slash Gray, it suddenly turned into ice, and then the water knife that turned into ice turned in the direction and slashed at the blood beast with brown skin.
Burst!
Bright red blood splattered, blood and muddy water mixed together, and in the mud, a blood beast rolled in pain, muddy water splashed, and after a few struggles, it stopped struggling.
Gray didn't mean to step forward to collect blood, and flew straight by, judging from the power of the water blade, it should only be a mad-level blood beast that attacked him, and it was difficult for a blood beast of this level to arouse his interest.
Half a day into the flight, Gray had entered the depths of the crocodile swamp.
"Sure enough, there's a fog area!"
He found an area that had spread for miles, foggy and completely covered by a thick fog, which was out of step with the yellow-brown terrain around him, and looked rather eerie.
Gray flew over, looking down from above.
The fog is so thick that it looks like white clouds in the sky, and the visibility is so low that even if you try to look at it, you can only see more than 10 meters away.
"I'd love to find out!"
A blood beast ability that can create hallucinogenic mist, although it does not have any attack power, it is a very useful ability.
Not only can it be used to trap the enemy, but it can also be used to hide and escape at a critical moment, if there is a chance to get this blood beast blood, he will naturally not miss it.
"Forget it, the top priority now is the Ice King-level Blood Beast, if the time is delayed for too long, this Ice King-level Blood Beast has already left its original place, it will not be good!"
In the end, Gray dispelled the idea of probing and resolutely chose to leave, hunting the ice king-level blood beast was what he urgently needed to do now, and everything else had to be in the back row.
After spending the night in the swamp, the next day Gray approached the place marked on the map, and he descended from the sky and began to search carefully.
After some searching, Gray saw several traces left by large blood beasts, which were very huge, and with the rough estimation skills he had learned from the Demon Dog Mercenary Group, the blood beasts that left these traces should have exceeded 10 meters.
If there is no accident, there is indeed a king-level blood beast in this place, but it is obvious that this king-level blood beast has left and does not continue to stay in this area.
"Looks like a bottle of hunter's potion is going to be wasted."
Touching the purple ring, a bottle of hunter potion appeared in Gray's hand.
According to Master Arnold's identification, this potion can make people have a sense of smell comparable to that of a king-level blood beast desolate demon dog in a short period of time, making people become a master of tracking, which is also the origin of the name of its hunter potion.
He had a total of three bottles of such a potion, and now it seemed that he had to waste one bottle to find the Ice King Beast.
Unscrew the cork and drink the liquid in one gulp, the liquid has a slight bitter taste, and there is a trace of blood, after all, the main material of this medicine is blood beast blood.
Whew-
Swallowing the potion, Gray felt his sense of smell become extremely acute for a moment.
All sorts of smells came in, the freshness of plants, the stench of rotting leaves, the smell of wild animals left around......
Whether it was small or heavy, it was difficult to escape from under Gray's nose, and he could smell even the slightest smell hundreds of meters away.
Coming to one of the places where the king beast left traces, Gray soon smelled a unique smell, unique because it actually had a dangerous feeling when it smelled this smell.
It was obviously not for nothing that powerful blood beasts were able to drive away other blood beasts just by smelling, and their smell was filled with a strong and dangerous aura, forcing other blood beasts that smelled the smell to stay away.
Gray followed the scent as he quickly tracked it.
A crocodile bloodbeast sank its body into the mud, revealing only its two eyes and its breathing nostrils, completely blending in with the dirt.
It spotted Gray walking dozens of meters away, hiding in the dirt, it didn't move, and when Gray got close, it launched a thunderous attack on Gray.
Gray got closer and closer, and it was already preparing to attack Gray, but at this moment, Gray waved his hand casually, and a cyan wind blade slashed out.
Burst!
A scratch dozens of meters long appeared on the ground, and in the center of the scratch, before the crocodile blood beast could attack, it was cut in half by Gray's wind blade, and the blood was like a fountain spraying.
After taking the hunter's potion, Gray's sense of smell became extremely developed, and from a long distance, Gray had already smelled the smell of the crocodile blood beast hiding in the dirt, so there was this scene just now.
Tracked all the way, tracked forward for dozens of miles, and encountered many ambushes of blood beasts along the way, but they were all discovered by Gray in advance, and the danger was clear in advance.
"Unmelted ice!"
Ahead, a piece of cold ice that spread for more than a hundred meters appeared in front of Gray's eyes, and judging from the signs that the ice had not completely melted, the blood beast that left this piece of cold ice did not leave for long.
This was also confirmed by the feedback of the scent, and here, he smelled an extremely strong smell of a blood beast, and this smell was the smell of the suspected king-level blood beast he was tracking.
