Beside the lake, Hanhu's corpse was lying on the ground. Bernal and Elise each held a large pouch with a sharp beak.
If one looked closely, they would find that there were several strange and twisted runes on the surface of the pouch. At the same time, there was a small dark purple crystal embedded in the pouch. This was a rune item.
The two of them inserted the sharp beaks into the two largest wounds on Hanhu's body and stimulated the runes with a trace of blood energy. Then, a strange scene occurred.
Streams of dark red Hanhu's blood, without any force, strangely flowed into the pouch from the sharp beaks. The pouch, which was originally dry, slowly expanded due to the influx of blood.
"Damned Rock family. Not only did they steal Hanhu's cub, they also made us miss the time to collect Hanhu's blood."
Elise said with a face full of hatred.
Because the Rock family suddenly appeared and stole Hanhu's cub, they were unable to collect the blood the moment Hanhu's mother beast died. Conservatively speaking, at least half of the Hanhu's blood had been wasted.
That was the blood of a murderous level blood fiend. Even if it wasn't the blood of a wind wolf and the effects weren't as significant as the blood of a wind wolf, it would still be more than half. Losing half of it just like that, one could imagine how much he hated the Rock family.
"It is indeed a pity!"
Bernal frowned. It was a pity that Hanhu's blood had been wasted, but it was even more a pity that they had lost Hanhu's cub.
A Hanhu's cub, whose strength was comparable to a murderous level blood warrior, had been taken away by the Rock family just like that. He was really unwilling.
Especially since he had specially stationed himself at Goat Horn Village for more than half a month. Now, all of his efforts had been wasted.
After a short while, the two pouches were no longer able to absorb any blood from Hanhu's corpse. The two of them lifted the pouches and weighed them.
"I'm afraid there are only a hundred of them in total."
After weighing the two pouches, Bernal said with a frown.
"Damned Rock family!"
Elise couldn't help but curse again.
With Hanhu's huge body, there should be at least two hundred portions of blood in its body. Now, because of the Rock family, they could only collect about a hundred portions. One could imagine the hatred in his heart.
"Father and the others are back!"
A large number of footsteps approached. The two of them raised their heads and saw Viscount Fergus and the others returning.
"Gray is here as well. good!"
Seeing Gray in the group, Bernal breathed a sigh of relief.
He was envious of Hanhu's son's talent, but at the same time, he was unwilling to let him take away his right to inherit his title.
But he was was, he was still, was was's father's his's blood Hana..
"Hanhu, that guy won't die that easily!"
Elise's's's Dragon.
Towards Gray, he was more jealous and dissatisfied. He was jealous of Gray's talent and dissatisfied that Gray had stolen Viscount Fergus' love and care.
"Hmm, that is …?"
Suddenly, the two of them exclaimed at the same time. They looked in disbelief at the "thing" in Gray's hands.
It was a small white animal with black patterns mixed in. It was about the size of a cat. If it wasn't the Hanhu cub from before, what else could it be?
The two of them almost jogged over and looked carefully at the animal in Gray's hands. After confirming that it was the Hanhu cub, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Father, you took back the Hanhu cub?!"
"I did, but I didn't take it back. It was Gray who took it back from Morley Locke."
Viscount Fergus was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"What, Gray took it back?"
Bernal's face was full of shock as he looked at Gray in a daze.
"What, he took it back?"
Elise's face was also full of disbelief. At this moment, she felt that Gray, who she used to hate no matter how she looked at him, suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
"We'll talk about the details when we get back. Take the Hanhu's corpse and we'll leave the Red Leaf Forest immediately and return to the castle."
Viscount Fergus ordered with a smile.
"Yes."
Everyone replied with smiles on their faces.
Although there were twists and turns along the way, the result was good. The Hanhu cub that was taken away was taken back.
More than a hundred cavalrymen protected the Hanhu cub and the corpse of the Hanhu mother as they returned in a mighty manner. They finally arrived at Fergus Castle in the evening.
There were no more robberies along the way.
They were already protected by more than a hundred cavalrymen, and there were also Viscount Fergus and Baron Ricardo among them. Even if there were only two or three Ferocious Blood Warriors, they wouldn't have the confidence to snatch the Hanhu cub from such a powerful lineup.
Because the sky was getting dark, Baron Ricardo and the other three took their leave after they arrived at the castle and finished their dinner.
When they left, they were in an extremely good mood because each of them was allocated ten portions of Hanhu's blood and fifty kilograms of Hanhu's flesh.
On the market, a portion of blood from a murderous level blood fiend could be sold for about fifty gold coins. Although there would be some fluctuations depending on the type of blood fiend, the overall fluctuations wouldn't be too great. Ten portions of Hanhu's blood were already worth five hundred gold coins.
As for Hanhu's flesh, although the price wasn't as high as Hanhu's blood, it could still be sold for two gold coins per kilogram. Based on this calculation, they had a total of six hundred gold coins in their account today.
Just one person and they had an income of six hundred gold coins in a day. No matter how one looked at it, this transaction was worth it.
In the evening, in the Purple Jade Hall.
The rune lamp above their heads spilled out a bright yellow light, illuminating the hall that was more than a hundred square meters as if it was daytime.
Around the circular wooden table, Viscount Fergus, Madame De Milan, and the five Gray siblings were all seated.
However, everyone couldn't help but look curiously at Gray. Even Madame De Milan, Caroline, and Sarah who didn't go to the Red Leaf Forest were the same.
They had already heard about what happened in the Red Leaf Forest. Like Viscount Fergus and the others, they were also filled with curiosity about how Gray took back the Hanhu cub.
"Ahem."
Viscount Fergus was the first to speak.
"Gray, as far as I know, Morley Locke should be a middle-level blood warrior now. How did you take back the Hanhu cub from his hands?"
Gray naturally knew that Viscount Fergus wasn't asking about the process of him taking back the Hanhu cub. Instead, he wanted to know how he made up for the gap in strength between him and Morley Locke and took back the Hanhu cub.
He carefully deliberated for a moment before opening his mouth to speak.
"Because I'm already a middle-level blood warrior!"
When he took back the Hanhu cub, he revealed the strength of a middle-level blood warrior. The Rock family already knew that his strength had reached middle-level blood warrior, so there was no need to hide the fact that he was a middle-level blood warrior.
Moreover, he didn't intend to keep it a secret from Viscount Fergus. The reason why he didn't immediately tell Viscount Fergus was because he still hadn't figured out what kind of changes had happened to his body. He was still hesitating.
Even if today's incident hadn't happened, after a while, he should have told Viscount Fergus about his strength.
As the father of this body, Viscount Fergus wouldn't harm him, who had taken over this body. Of course, the most important thing was that cultivation required resources. Without the supply of resources, it would instead affect his cultivation progress. The gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
For example, when his strength reached the level of a Ferocious Blood Warrior, he would need to implant a higher-level blood beast bloodline and a higher-level blood technique. However, because Viscount Fergus didn't know about this, he couldn't provide these resources in time. This would cause his strength to stagnate, which obviously wasn't beneficial.
As for finding these resources himself, Gray felt that it was quite unbearable. Blood techniques were extremely confidential in any family. He didn't think that his luck would be so heaven-defying that he would be able to find a suitable blood technique for him to cultivate just by casually strolling around a street stall.
"What?
You're already … a middle-level blood warrior? "
"How … is this possible?"
"How, how … is it so fast?"
…
Hearing Gray's unexpected but reasonable answer, the room was first silent for a long time before it exploded into a cacophony of exclamations.
Everyone in the room looked at Gray in disbelief.
Madame De Milan maintained a look of astonishment on her face, losing her usual elegance.
Caroline used her hand to cover her red lips in an unladylike manner, expressing the shock in her heart at this moment.
Sarah jumped up in surprise, her eyes filled with both shock and joy.
Bernal's mouth was agape as he stared at Gray in a daze, actually forgetting to close it.
Elise thought that she was hallucinating. Looking around, she saw shocked faces one after another.
Viscount Fergus appeared to be the calmest, but his slightly trembling hands exposed his current state of mind.
After taking a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, Viscount Fergus looked at Gray, his expression slightly embarrassed as he asked.
"Gray, are you sure you've really become a middle-level blood warrior? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
In his heart, he very much hoped that Gray had really become a middle-level blood warrior, but he was also a little worried that Gray might have made a mistake.
"There shouldn't be a mistake."
Gray nodded affirmatively.
"I've already started cultivating the fourth cycle of the blood technique, and the power of blood is much thicker than when I was a lower-level blood warrior."
"Then how many times can you continuously use the power of blood now?"
Viscount Fergus hurriedly asked.
"About ten times in a row."
Gray replied.
"Ten times?
Good, very good, you're really a middle-level blood warrior now! "
