The next morning, Gray continued to hunt blood fiends.
The fourth blood fiend he killed was the fastest blood fiend among the murderous-level blood fiends — the Wind-Chasing Leopard.
After exchanging blows with it, Gray experienced firsthand the frustration of being crushed by an opponent in terms of speed.
Although the wind wolf's speed was considered one of the best among the murderous-level blood fiends, the Wind-Chasing Leopard's speed was considered the fastest among all the blood fiends.
Gray was skeptical about the evaluation of "the fastest murderous-level blood fiend."
After all, until now, no one dared to claim that they had fully counted all the murderous-level blood fiends.
Since it was impossible to count all the murderous-level blood fiends, the evaluation of "the fastest" was naturally an exaggeration.
However, even though the Wind-Chasing Leopard's speed might not be the fastest among the murderous-level blood fiends, it was still considered one of the fastest blood fiends among the murderous-level blood fiends.
It was inevitable that Gray's speed would be much slower when facing the Wind-Chasing Leopard.
Fortunately, the Wind-Chasing Leopard's weakness was also very obvious. Other than its speed, it was useless in other aspects. Whether it was its strength or defense, it was extremely weak.
The Wind-Chasing Leopard's attack could not even break through Gray's defense.
It was not only the defense of his arms that could not be broken, but also the defense of the other parts of his body.
After all, even if his arms were not considered abnormal, the defense of the other parts of his body was already at the level of a shadow snake.
After playing hide-and-seek with the Wind-Chasing Leopard for a long time, Gray finally found an opportunity to grab the Wind-Chasing Leopard's leg.
He threw the Wind-Chasing Leopard to the ground and stepped on its body. Then, he stabbed the Wind-Chasing Leopard's heart with his magic sword and finally ended its life.
The battle took the longest time among the four blood fiends he had encountered. It was enough to show how difficult it was to deal with.
The fifth blood fiend was a crocodile-type blood fiend that could turn mud into a landslide and attack its opponent.
If Gray guessed correctly, this blood fiend should be the blood fiend that was implanted in the bodies of the Giant Crocodile Mercenary Regiment's captain and the short-haired man.
After all, the blood fiends' abilities were almost identical.
Without much effort, the blood fiends were killed. At this point, the number of blood fiends under Gray's control had reached 20.
After searching for more than an hour, he encountered the sixth blood fiend.
It was a huge blood fiend that was three meters long. Its skin was covered with black scale-like fur. It was fat, short, with short legs and a short neck.
There were two vertically arranged horns on its head. The horns near its mouth were the longest and were as sharp as a scimitar, while the horns near its back were slightly shorter.
Gray recognized this blood fiend. It was called the Iron Rhinoceros. The Iron Rhinoceros inner armor on Gray's body was made from its skin.
Just like the Wind-Chasing Leopard, it was also rated as one of the most ferocious blood fiends. The only difference was its defense.
Gray was also skeptical about this.
However, there was no doubt that any blood fiend that was rated as the best would be extremely difficult to deal with.
Just like the Wind Seeking Leopard, this Iron Armored Rhinoceros was also extremely difficult to deal with, perhaps even more so.
Even if the Icy Wind Blade landed on the rhinoceros' body, it would only cause ordinary injuries. It would probably be difficult to kill it even if he were to continuously slash it a dozen times.
Naturally, Gray could not continuously use Icy Wind Blades more than a dozen times. He did not have a large reserve of blood energy. In a day, he could only use Icy Wind Blades three times.
Left with no choice, he could only let the blood fiends fight together for the first time.
With the Herculean Ape as the lead and the other blood fiends that were also famous for their strength, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros was flipped over and pinned to the ground. It could not move at all.
On the other hand, Gray continuously stabbed the rhinoceros' heart with his sword.
Gray did not know how many times he had stabbed the rhinoceros before it finally pierced through its tough black fur and heart, ending its life.
The rhinoceros was definitely the most difficult to deal with among the six blood fiends.
"It wasn't easy!"
Looking at the Iron Armored Rhinoceros with a sword in its heart, Gray wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed.
Although Gray was not afraid of encountering this Iron Armored Rhinoceros alone, it would be really difficult to kill it.
The rhinoceros' body and leather defense were not as good as the Iron Arms Ape's arms.
However, among the murderous-level blood fiends, it was difficult to find one with a comparable defense. It was no wonder that the Iron Armored Rhinoceros had the best defense among the murderous-level blood fiends.
"It's simply the best material for a meat shield."
Gray could already imagine how much stronger the defense of his blood fiends would be when this super meat shield joined his army.
He collected blood and used his ability to control corpses.
A black ball of flesh with tentacles trembled as it crawled into the rhinoceros' mouth.
Gray stared at it without blinking. He was really a little afraid that this Iron Armored Rhinoceros' skin was too thick for the ball of flesh to drill into its brain and be unable to control it.
However, this kind of worry did not appear. After a few minutes, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros stood up as its body trembled.
Plop!
However, the moment it stood up, the sound of something falling to the ground was suddenly heard.
Gray was surprised. He hurriedly looked at the Iron Armored Rhinoceros, only to see that it was standing quietly.
He raised his eyes and looked around, only to discover that a blood fiend with purple spots on its body had suddenly collapsed without any warning.
He tried to order the blood fiend to stand up, but there was no response. It was as if it had completely turned into a corpse.
"What's going on?"
Gray was surprised.
When he was fighting with the Iron Armored Rhinoceros, he did not use this blood fiend. Logically speaking, this blood fiend should not have been injured. So why did it suddenly lose control?
"Could it be …?"
However, a guess quickly appeared in his mind.
He walked up to the blood fiend with purple spots on its body and used his ability to control corpses again.
Plop!
While trembling, the purple-spotted blood fiend stood up again.
And the moment it stood up, Li Tianlan's eyes lit up.
Another blood fiend, a blood fiend with yellow fur all over its body, suddenly collapsed like the purple-spotted blood fiend.
"Has it reached its limit?"
The answer was obvious. The number of corpses that he could control had reached its limit, and the limit was 20.
It was easy to understand that there was a limit to the ability to control corpses.
If there was no limit to the ability to control corpses, then the white-haired ape-type blood fiend Gray had encountered previously would have been able to wipe out all the blood fiends with its ability to control corpses. If it was not powerful enough, it could simply overwhelm it with numbers.
However, in reality, it did not manage to wipe out all the blood fiends. Hence, there was a limit to the ability to control corpses. Gray had already expected this.
"A limit of 20 corpses?
That's not bad. "
The ability to control corpses was a very powerful ability. Even if there was only a limit of 20 corpses, and even if the controlled blood fiends could not use their abilities, it was still an extremely powerful ability.
According to Gray's estimation, with the fusion of the Wind Wolf's speed characteristic, the Frost Tiger's strength characteristic, the Shadow Snake's defense characteristic, and the Steel-armed Ape's iron arm characteristic, he would only be able to fight two Ferocious Warriors at the same level as him.
As for the ability to control corpses, he could already fight one against four. As for now, it was definitely more than that. After all, the number of corpses he could control had increased to 20.
From this point, it was not difficult to see how powerful the ability to control corpses was.
If there was a blood technique related to the ability to control corpses, then this blood technique would definitely be a special one. Moreover, it would definitely be one of the most powerful among special blood techniques.
"The number of blood fiends has reached a limit. If I want to further enhance the ability to control corpses, then I can only work on their quality."
"The best way to improve the quality is naturally to control blood fiends of higher levels."
Gray narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of anticipation appeared on his face.
"With 20 corpses under my control, even if I can't use the abilities of the blood fiends, my combat strength should still be extremely powerful. I wonder if there is a possibility of challenging a berserk blood fiend?"
When the Mesfi family was hunting him down in Oka Marquisate, Gray was worried that he would not be a match for the berserk blood warriors even if he used his ability to control corpses. Therefore, he hurriedly escaped from Oka Marquisate overnight.
At that time, he controlled a total of nine blood fiends and an average-sized man. In total, he controlled ten corpses.
Now that the number of corpses he could control had reached a limit of 20, he could not help but have the idea of hunting down berserk blood fiends.
In fact, he had already had this idea long ago. Since there was a limit to the number of corpses he could control, then he would strengthen it with quality.
When he guessed that there would be a limit to the number of corpses he could control, he had this idea.
Of course, Gray was not sure if his ability to control corpses could control the corpses of berserk blood fiends that were more powerful. After all, he had not tried it before.
