Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Dozens of gigantic wind blades came at them from all directions.
They were like a green river, rolling and roaring as if they were going to tear everything in front of them into pieces.
Sharp screeches were incessant, and a strong sense of danger assaulted the hearts of Gray and the other two.
Bang, bang, bang!
Teresa's scalp went numb, and she was instantly petrified. Her body suddenly became harder than steel.
The concentrated wind blades slashed his body, leaving crisscrossing wounds on his body.
His body was quickly sent flying backward by the slashes. He broke more than ten trees in a year before finally coming to a stop.
There were dozens of wounds all over his body, and dark red blood flowed out, dyeing his entire body red.
He was seriously injured!
Swoosh!
Sophia's body was once again suffused with a strange blue glow, and numerous afterimages appeared. She dodged left and right, quickly avoiding the wind blades.
Wind blades brushed past her body, but not a single one was able to hit her.
She was like a performer walking on a tightrope. Her movements were graceful, but they were extremely dangerous.
If she was not careful, she would be consigned to eternal damnation.
Behind her, large swathes of trees were collapsing, destroying everything in their path.
"I can't block it!"
Cold sweat rolled down Gray's forehead. With his speed, he would definitely not be able to dodge the wind blades that were so fast and covered such a wide area.
The arms of the iron-armed ape were tough, and even in the face of such powerful wind blades, they would only be scratched. However, the wind blades were so concentrated that a pair of iron-armed arms would definitely not be able to protect his entire body.
Furthermore, the defensive characteristics inherited from the jade lizard would be too difficult in the face of such powerful wind blades.
In the end, even if he could withstand it, he would most likely be seriously injured.
Gritting his teeth, Gray made a decision in his heart.
Buzz!
With Gray as the center, an invisible wave spread out.
Then, the surrounding trees and plants suddenly grew crazily, extending huge branches that were as hard as steel. They intertwined to form a wooden fence that was a few meters wide and a meter thick, blocking in front of Gray.
At this time, he could not care less about exposing the jade lizard's plant abilities.
Fortunately, many of the magical weapons displayed effects that were similar to the blood fiends' abilities.
After this, if someone were to ask about it, he could use the magical weapons as an excuse.
Poof, poof, poof!
The huge and sharp wind blades slashed at the wooden fences, which were as hard as steel. The thickness of the wooden fences was quickly shaved off. Only after more than half of the wooden fences were they able to completely block the wind blades that were attacking them.
"Shh —"
Seeing this, Gray heaved a sigh of relief behind the wooden fence.
To deal with such a powerful and special blood fiend, the only way was to use the special blood fiend's blood fiend ability.
Without using his plant abilities, he was not strong enough to fight against the special blood fiends!
"Humph, trying to escape?"
Using his plant abilities, Gray was able to control everything within a hundred-meter radius. Even without using his eyes, he could see everything that was happening in this area.
He immediately noticed that Blade Weasel was preparing to escape.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several pieces of wood turned into spikes and shot out.
Poof, poof, poof!
The severely injured Blade Weasel was no longer as agile as before. It was immediately nailed to the ground by the spikes.
After struggling for a while, it finally stopped moving.
"Uncle Teresa, please go and confirm it!"
Gray turned around and looked at Teresa, who was covered in blood but was not in a life-threatening state.
Among the three of them, Teresa had the strongest defense. It was best for her to confirm whether she was dead or not.
Even if she was faking her death, Teresa should be able to survive with her strong defense.
"Okay!"
Teresa nodded and looked deeply at Gray before walking towards Blade Weasel.
He had underestimated Teresa once again. He did not expect her to have such a powerful trump card.
If he were to fight her to the death, he might be the one to lose.
This made him even more fearful. Teresa was indeed not an ordinary person to be lured into exploring the ruins by his young mistress at such a high price and using a barbarian level blood technique.
"She's dead!"
Teresa went forward and checked carefully. After confirming that there was no breathing or heartbeat, she told Gray and Sophia.
Gray controlled the plants and removed the spikes. Sophia went forward, took out a blood bag, and hurriedly collected the blood.
In terms of strength, Blade Weasel was definitely at the forefront of berserker level blood fiends. It was not an exaggeration to call it a special blood fiend.
Unfortunately, it was facing three Berserkers, and the three of them were quite strong among the Berserkers.
Sophia cultivated a special blood technique, and the magic weapon in her hand was extremely powerful.
Teresa did not cultivate a special blood technique, but with the characteristics of her blood technique, it was only slightly weaker than a special blood technique.
As for Gray, although he did not cultivate a special blood technique, his strength was even stronger than a special blood fiend after fusing with the characteristics of many blood fiends.
From the moment Blade Weasel attacked Gray and the other two, the outcome was already decided.
Gray and the other two chose to take a detour to reduce the consumption of blood force, not because they were afraid of Blade Weasel. In fact, it was the Blade Weasel that died in the end.
Of course, Blade Weasel's strength was certain.
Gray and the other two joined forces, but there were still people who were injured. Among them, Teresa's injuries were not light. This battle record already showed Blade Weasel's strength.
After handing a bottle of healing potion to Teresa, Sophia looked at Gray and discussed.
"Uncle Teresa's injuries are not light. Even if he drank the healing potion, he will only be able to recover tomorrow. Moreover, the three of us have consumed a lot of blood force. Let's rest here for a day."
"No problem."
Gray nodded in agreement.
Although he only had a scratch on his arm, he had consumed a lot of blood force. If he encountered another special blood fiend like Blade Weasel, it would definitely be difficult.
Both of them tacitly did not ask what the other party had used.
Gray did not ask Sophia what method Sophia used to suddenly increase her speed to a terrifying level. Was it a blood fiend's ability or the effect of a magic weapon?
Sophia also did not ask Gray what kind of "magic weapon" he had that could control plants was and what its limits were.
Although both sides had cooperated twice, they obviously did not reach the level of complete trust. Both sides understood this point very well.
The trees in the surrounding area were all cleared by their battle. They simply set up a tent on the spot.
After resting for a day, Teresa's injuries were basically healed with the help of the healing potion. The three of them set off again.
Along the way, they encountered several mad blood fiends.
Although they were not as strong as Blade Weasel, they were still mad blood fiends. Gray and the other two spent a lot of energy and blood force on them.
Two days later, a huge ruin appeared in front of the three of them.
Majestic, spectacular, magnificent!
Although it had become a ruin, one could still feel the majesty of this ruin.
The steeple was dozens of meters high.
The huge pillar required several people to wrap their arms around it.
The wall stood tall like a mountain.
...
This relic was much larger than the two relic they had encountered before.
The area it occupied was several times the size of the two ruins. The magnificence of the buildings was also a level higher.
If the two imperial ruins they had encountered before were designed and built by top architects, then this ruin was designed and built by a master architect.
The three of them walked into the castle through a broken part of the wall. Suddenly, the three of them could not help but raise their eyebrows and look forward.
In front of them, in the center of the ruin, where the main building of the castle was supposed to be, the entire ground had collapsed, forming a pit with a diameter of several hundred meters.
"What happened? The ruin collapsed?"
Teresa frowned, her face filled with disappointment.
In the entire ruin, the most likely place to have good things was naturally the main building of the castle. After all, that was where the person with the highest status in the castle lived.
But now, that place had actually collapsed. In this case, it was hard to say whether there would be any gains in the main building area.
After all, there were only three of them, so it was impossible for them to excavate and clean up such a large ruin.
Now that the main building area had collapsed, they could only try to search on the surface to see if they could find anything valuable.
"What a pity."
Seeing the collapsed main building, Gray's voice was filled with regret.
Seeing how big the ruin was, he thought that he would have a bountiful harvest and pay off his debt. He did not expect such a situation to occur.
The basement of the castle was most likely under the main building. Now that the entire building had collapsed, the basement was most likely submerged. It was almost impossible to explore the basement.
"Don't you feel that the surroundings of the ruin are very strange?"
Right at this moment, Sophia's delicate brows slightly raised as she spoke.
"Strange?
It is indeed a bit strange. When we were still some distance away from the ruin, we did not find any wild beasts or animals. "
Gray nodded and thought of the abnormality he had discovered earlier.
With the infrared perception of the Shadow Snake, he could even sense animals hidden in the dense forest.
But when they were close to the ruin, they did not find a single animal.
"The collapsed area does not seem to have collapsed naturally. Let's go take a look first before we start searching."
Gray and Teresa naturally had no objections to Sophia's suggestion. Thus, the three of them walked toward the center of the castle and quickly arrived at the edge of the collapsed area.
"That is...?"
The three of them looked at the collapsed area. Suddenly, their pupils shrank and they looked at the center of the collapsed area with shock.
