Gray's eyes lit up. If it was as he had guessed, it would be great news.
The corpses of the controlled blood fiends were full of wounds, and some of their bones were even broken. As a result, their defense and combat strength were more or less weaker than when they were alive.
For this reason, Gray would try his best to avoid leaving behind injuries that would affect their combat strength when hunting blood fiends.
However, blood fiends were powerful and knew how to resist. They would not just stand there and let you stab them in the heart, leaving only a hole in their body.
Therefore, it was inevitable that in terms of combat strength and defense, they were weaker than when they were alive.
If the reverse nurturing ability could really be used on these blood fiends and heal their injuries, it would obviously be able to preserve their combat strength and defense.
Moreover, since there would be battles, there would definitely be injuries.
If the reverse nurturing ability could heal injuries, wouldn't that mean that as long as the blood fiends were not completely damaged, they could continue to be used?
"Is that so? Let's do it again!"
Gray's eyes lit up.
After he gave the order, the other three blood fiends that were originally in the basement walked out of the tunnel one by one and finally arrived at the forest.
With the three blood fiends, Gray left the area that was full of withered trees and found a lush green area. He tried to use the reverse nurturing ability in his mind.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Once again, spots of green light floated out from the surrounding trees. These green lights were like clear spring water that flowed downwards. They converged and finally wrapped around the three blood fiends.
Under his gaze, the wounds on the three blood fiends healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the green lights disappeared, the wounds on the three blood fiends had disappeared without a trace. Like the jade lizard, they had returned to their previous appearances.
Apart from their slightly lifeless eyes, they were no different from living blood fiends.
With such blood fiends, no one would doubt that they were battle beasts.
"They can really be healed!"
Gray was pleasantly surprised.
The result was very obvious. Due to the transformation ability, the reverse nurturing ability had undergone some kind of mutation. Not only could it heal itself, but it could also heal the blood fiends that were under his control.
"I won't have to worry so much when I fight in the future!"
In the past, as the battle progressed, the blood fiends would sustain more and more injuries, resulting in irreversible damage.
When Gray used the blood fiends to fight, he would always be extremely careful. This made him feel like he was tiptoeing around, unable to move freely.
But now, he didn't have so many misgivings.
There was no need to worry about being unable to fight due to injuries. Obviously, there would be a lot less apprehension in battle.
There was no doubt that the mutation of the reverse nurturing ability was extremely useful to him.
"I just don't know to what extent the recovery ability of reverse nurturing can reach."
Gray immediately thought of another problem. Since it was a recovery ability, it must have its own limits.
Can a severed limb be repaired?
If his head was chopped off or damaged, could it be repaired?
"I can give it a try."
The four blood fiends were all mad level blood fiends and were his precious fighting force. Naturally, he couldn't use them for such an experiment.
However, this wasn't a problem for him. Although he couldn't use the four mad level blood fiends, he could use other animals to try it. He only needed to temporarily remove the control over one of the mad level blood fiends.
After spending two days, Gray finally completed the experiment.
It wasn't that he didn't want to do it in one go. After all, the reverse nurturing ability was a blood fiend ability and consumed a lot of blood force.
The experiment showed that even if the limbs were chopped off, as long as they weren't severely damaged, the reverse nurturing ability could be used to repair them by putting them together.
Even if the heads were chopped off, they could be repaired by putting them together.
The only thing that couldn't be repaired was the damaged head. He didn't know if it was because the head was too delicate or for some other reason.
Based on the results, he was extremely satisfied.
Obviously, the benefits of consuming the jade lizard were huge. Just the reverse nurturing ability alone was enough for Gray to waste a chance to transform and consume this blood.
Not to mention, the jade lizard's plant control ability was an extremely powerful blood fiend ability.
Previously, the jade lizard was able to defeat four mad level blood fiends, a Ferocious Blood Warrior, and several Ferocious Blood Warriors in a split second.
Moreover, the jade lizard's strength, speed, and defense could be ranked among the top in the same realm.
When he reached the level of a Ferocious Blood Warrior, he didn't need to consume the blood of other blood fiends. His strength, speed, and defense were already extraordinary.
Gray was in a good mood. He went to the horse farm outside the castle and rode the Scarlet Blood Horse gifted to him by Viscount Fergus toward Fergus City.
There was a good roast goose restaurant in Fergus City. After his last visit, Gray felt that the taste was pretty good and wanted to try it again.
Thump, thump, thump!
Behind him, there was a huge commotion. The Scarlet Blood Horse shook its body in panic. Gray looked back and was speechless.
A giant white tiger that was 2.5 meters long, not including its tail, was running towards him. There was a young girl on top of the giant tiger. It was Sarah.
"Brother."
Sarah called out sweetly as she came in front of Gray.
"Why did you ride Little White?"
Gray tried his best to pacify the Scarlet Blood Horse that was panicking after encountering the blood fiends. He looked at her speechlessly.
"I'm here to buy candies. It's faster to ride Little White."
Sarah said matter-of-factly.
Gray rolled his eyes. This was the first time someone rode a beast to buy candies. He didn't know how much pressure the owner of the candy store would feel.
Because of Gray, Sarah's status in the Fergus family had been raised again and again.
Now, even Viscount Fergus would not punish Sarah as long as she didn't make a big mistake out of respect for Gray. This caused the girl to be extremely arrogant.
He heard that a while ago, this girl brought Hanhu to wander around the city. For some reason, they had a conflict with a noble young master and scared him to the point that he peed his pants.
This was not a good sign. Gray purposely said with a serious face.
"Don't do this again. If you think it's too slow, you can ride my Scarlet Blood Horse."
"I know."
Sarah stuck out her tongue.
Finally, Gray arrived at the roast goose shop. Under the eyes of the owner, who was about to cry, Gray enjoyed the delicious roast goose and brought Sarah back to Fergus Castle.
Somewhere in the kingdom, the four core members of the Shadow Serpent were having a meeting.
"Since last year, the number of assassination missions the organization has received has decreased by a lot. Our income has decreased by a third. Do you have any suggestions to turn the situation around?"
On the main seat, an old man with cold eyes said with a gloomy face.
"Sir, the reason for this is mainly because the assassination mission against the Sidney family failed last year. This caused the noble families to doubt the organization's assassination ability."
"I think that as long as we can wash away this shame, we will be able to increase the number of missions."
The eye-patch woman said with a sharp look in her eyes.
"Wash away the shame?
You are preparing to make a move against the Sidney family again? "
The old man with a cold face looked at the eye-patch woman.
"Yes, sir."
The eye-patch woman's eyes were filled with cold killing intent.
"In the end, the reason the organization suffered such heavy losses and was suspected of having the ability to assassinate was all because of the Fergus family."
"Now that half a year has passed, the Sidney family must have retreated. I am preparing to personally eliminate this family and restore the organization's reputation."
"I object."
Hearing the eye-patch woman's words, the purple-haired man frowned and objected.
"Since the assassination of the Sidney family last year, the organization has suffered heavy losses. Continuing to assassinate the Sidney family is not beneficial to us. We should end all operations related to the Sidney family."
"I think so too."
The short brown-haired man said.
"In order to assassinate the Sidney family, the organization has lost too much power. Although we have received some rewards because of the support of the Sidney family's enemy, it is obvious that the effort is not proportional to the benefits."
On the main seat, the old man with a cold face held his chin with one hand. After a moment, he put down his hand and glanced at the three people.
"The reason why the Shadow Serpent is in such a decline is indeed because of the failed assassination against the Sidney family. Continuing to target the Sidney family is indeed not beneficial to the organization's development."
"However, the culprit who caused all this cannot be left alive. Even if it is for the sake of the Shadow Serpent's reputation, they must be erased."
Speaking of this, he looked at the eye-patch woman.
