The red mist dissipated in Gray's palm, and a numb feeling swept through Gray's body like a tide. It was transmitted to every part of Gray's body.
Crack!
Suddenly, Gray's body emitted a strange sound.
It was as if some kind of limit had been broken, as if his life had evolved. His body was rapidly changing.
Every inch of his skin, every inch of his flesh, and every piece of his bones were becoming stronger than before.
Although there were not many changes to his body, every inch of his flesh and bones had become denser.
The blood energy in his heart was also rapidly increasing.
In just a short moment, it had increased by several times. A large amount of blood energy gathered in his heart and slowly rotated, like a bloody whirlwind.
His blood circulation had become extremely fast, rushing through his body like a tide. This was the source of the strange sound.
After a long time, this change ended. Gray opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body. His eyes were filled with joy.
"I've reached the desolate level!"
Originally, he thought that even with the Blaze Potion, it would take at least a few months. After all, potions like the Blaze Potion that could increase one's strength couldn't be taken consecutively in a short period of time. There would be a long interval between each use.
However, the red mist on this island had shortened this time. Not only could it increase his strength like the Blaze Potion, but most importantly, it did not have any side effects and could be continuously absorbed.
"The value of the red mist is even higher than the evolution herbs. At least for me, it is."
Evolution herbs were used to evolve and increase the bloodline. For Gray, who had the ability to evolve and increase his bloodline through evolution, it was not very meaningful.
However, the red mist was different. Although it could not increase his bloodline, it could increase his strength without any side effects. It could increase his strength quickly, which was what he needed most right now.
"It would be great if I could bring some back. Unfortunately, I can't!"
Gray wanted to bring some of the red mist back to Sarah, Bernal, and the others. Unfortunately, this red mist could not be stored in any container, nor could it be stored in a spatial item. Apart from absorbing it on the spot, there was no other way to take it away.
Without staying any longer, Gray continued to hunt the red mist beasts.
The opportunity to improve his strength was right in front of him. Wasting every minute and second was shameful. If it wasn't for the fact that he really needed to rest, he wouldn't even let go of the night.
Puchi —
After moving forward for several li, the ground beneath Gray's feet suddenly rumbled violently. Then, a huge sharp head emerged from the ground, revealing sharp fangs that were as large as hoes. It bit down on Gray.
It had a sharp head, sharp teeth that were as large as hoes, and round, spherical eyes. This was a Fog Beast that looked like a mouse.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Gray was already more than ten meters away, dodging the surprise attack.
After reaching the Desolated Level, his speed had once again increased by a large margin. Now, his speed was not inferior to a Level 2 Desolated Level Blood Warrior, which was why he was able to dodge the sneak attack just now.
If it had been anyone else, even a Desolate Blood Warrior, they would have been bitten in the sneak attack just now.
Puchi —
After the sneak attack failed, the rat-shaped Fog Beast burrowed back into the ground. The ground trembled slightly, and in the next moment, the ground beneath Gray's feet rumbled again. A huge head emerged from the ground again, biting down on Gray.
This time, Gray, who was prepared, did not dodge.
Clang!
The sword at his waist was unsheathed. The earthy yellow sword flashed like a yellow light and slashed at the rat-shaped Fog Beast.
He did not use any blood skills and only relied on his physical strength. However, now that Gray had reached the Desolated Level, his physical strength was not inferior to a Level 2 Desolated Level Blood Warrior. Even if it was just his physical strength alone, his destructive power was enough to reach the Desolated Level.
Puff!
Under Gray's sword, a huge hole appeared on the rat-shaped Fog Beast's body. Its body was pulled out from the ground.
It was a six-meter long rat-shaped Fog Beast. However, it was completely bald. Not only its tail, but even its body was bald. There was not a single strand of hair on it.
The injured rat-shaped Fog Beast was about to burrow back into the ground. Gray was about to use the black mist to kill the rat-shaped Blood Beast. However, at this moment, a trace of astonishment appeared on his face. However, he quickly recovered.
Crackle!
Dozens of huge metal blades with lightning appeared and pierced towards the rat-shaped Fog Beast from all directions.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Under the attack of the metal blades with lightning, the rat-shaped Fog Beast's body shook violently for a while. Then, it completely stopped moving. Its body turned into a cloud of red mist.
"Failed?"
Gray did not immediately absorb the red mist. There was a strange look on his face. At that moment, he wanted to use the Triple Mixed Black Mist ability, but he failed.
In an emergency situation, he had to use the Thunder Metal ability to kill the rat-shaped Fog Beast.
"Is it because the gap between my wind abilities is too big, and I can't combine them?"
The only reason he could think of was that he had reached the desolated level, but his wind bloodline was only at the Barbarian level. It only had the power of the Barbarian level, and the gap between it and the other two abilities was too big.
He tried to use the Ice Wind Blade ability, but it failed again.
"Just as I thought."
The failure to use the Ice Wind Blade made him even more sure of his guess. The gap between the two abilities was too big, which led to the failure of combining them.
"I have to use the Storm Falcon blood as soon as possible!"
To be able to use the Ice Wind Blade and the black mist again, Gray had to use the Storm Falcon blood as soon as possible to make up for the shortcoming of his wind bloodline.
Luckily, he had reached the desolated level, which was enough for him to use the blood again.
"I don't have to rush. It won't be too late to use it at night."
After absorbing the red mist, Gray did not immediately find a place to use the Storm Falcon blood. Instead, he continued to hunt the red Fog Beasts.
Although he could not use the Ice Wind Blade and the black mist, his battle strength did not decrease because of this. His Lightning Metal ability, which had reached the second level of the desolated level, had already surpassed the power of the black mist, making his battle strength even stronger.
Of course, the most important thing was that Stanley Grinton was there, so he did not have to worry about his safety.
After killing several more red fog beasts, Gray finally stopped when it was already night time.
He found a cave and finished his dinner. After asking Stanley Grinton to guard outside the cave, Gray took out the metal container containing the Storm Falcon blood.
The dark red blood was bright and glistening. Because it was well preserved, it did not show any signs of decay even after a thousand years.
After taking out a portion, Gray drank it in one gulp.
"Hiss —"
A knife-like pain appeared all over Gray's body. It was as if there were small wind blades cutting inside his body. The intense pain attacked Gray wave after wave.
Outside his body, in the cave, a green whirlwind appeared and wrapped him up, placing him in the center of the whirlwind.
Under the whirlwind, scratches appeared on the ground and walls of the cave.
In a short time, the interior of the cave had been expanded by several meters due to the wind blades that Gray unconsciously released.
A large movement spread out from the center of the cave. It was particularly clear in the silent night. Nearby, some nocturnal Fog Beasts' eyes flashed with cold light as they approached the cave.
A cat-shaped fog beast moved between the trees and came to a tree outside the cave. It saw Stanley Grinton, who was guarding outside the cave.
The sharp claws on its legs stretched out, ready to kill this human. It then entered the cave to investigate the source of the sound.
At this moment, Stanley Grinton, who was guarding outside the cave, raised his head and looked at the tree where the cat-shaped Fog Beast was.
Peng!
He took a step forward and used the air to get close to the tree. The broken sword at his waist was unsheathed, and the sword light flashed.
Puff!
The cat-shaped Fog Beast's body was cut in two and fell to the ground, turning into two clouds of red mist.
Puff, puff, puff!
One after another, the red Fog Beasts that came to peep or attack were all turned into red mist under Stanley Grinton's attack. Not a single red Fog Beast could get past Stanley Grinton's interception and enter the cave.
Half an hour later, the blue wind around Gray dissipated, and the knife-like pain on Gray's body disappeared. However, he felt like he was soaked in sweat.
"This time, consuming the Storm Falcon's blood caused quite a commotion. Luckily, I have Stanley Grinton. Otherwise, I would have been in danger!"
Although he was in the process of transforming, Gray could still vaguely hear the sounds of fighting outside the cave. He knew that because he had consumed the Storm Falcon's blood, he had attracted a lot of nocturnal Fog Beasts.
Of course, it was also because of Stanley Grinton that he dared to consume the blood on this island.
"Not a small harvest!"
Walking out of the cave, Gray saw that outside the cave, with the cave as the center, everything within a hundred meter radius had been turned into flat ground.
Within this hundred-meter radius, there were clouds of red mist on the ground. There were a total of seven clouds. Although each cloud wasn't large in size, it was still a considerable harvest when all of them were added together.
After absorbing all of the red mist, Ye Chen stayed in the cave for the night. The next morning.
"The ability to fly!"
Walking out of the cave, Gray's eyes were full of expectation.
Whoosh!
On both sides of his body, the power of blood gathered and spread out, eventually turning into a pair of one meter long blue and black wings.
On the wings, every feather was vivid and lifelike, as if they were real.
Shua!
With a flap of his greenish-black wings, Gray soared into the air and quickly flew into the sky.
Shua! Shua!
In the sky, Gray rapidly changed his direction, rapidly ascending and descending.
He was as agile as a bird. He did not need to feel around or train. It was as simple as controlling his own arm.
