"What kind of help?"
Gray asked after some thought.
He did not immediately agree. It would be foolish to agree without knowing what the other party needed help with. Although "doing a favor" seemed to save him a lot of money, it was not necessarily more worth it than spending a sum of money to buy it.
"To tell you the truth, my sister found a Frostmoon Flower in the Forbidden Forest, but it is guarded by a powerful Magic Light Rank Blood Fiend. It will be difficult for the two of us to kill that Magic Light Rank Blood Fiend, so we would like to ask for your help."
Jonatan Gusman said in a very sincere tone.
"Frostmoon Flower?
You are really lucky to have found such a precious magic herb. "
Gray was slightly surprised.
As a pharmacist, he naturally knew what the Frostmoon Flower was.
The Frostmoon Flower was a precious magic herb, and its value was not lower than the Blood Moon Grass he had obtained before. It could also be used as a main ingredient to aid in cultivation.
"I have a question. With the Gusman Family's strength, you should not lack suitable experts. Why are you asking for my help?"
"There are indeed many suitable experts in the family, but if you ask them to help, they will have to share a portion of the Frostmoon Flower as the price."
"It just so happens that you need the blood of the puppet Fox of Calamity, so I would like to use the blood of the puppet Fox of Calamity as the price to ask for your help."
Jonatan Guzman explained frankly.
"Deal."
After hearing the other party's words, Gray did not hesitate and immediately agreed. As for the powerful Magic Light Rank Blood Fiend that the other party mentioned, he did not even ask about it.
With his current strength, a Magic Light Rank Blood Fiend was naturally nothing in his eyes. What he needed to consider was to cooperate with the other party to kill this Magic Light Rank Blood Fiend without exposing his strength as much as possible.
"Sir Gray, it's great that you are willing to help."
After receiving an affirmative answer from Gray, Jonatan Gusman smiled.
"You are welcome. Besides, I am not helping for free. There will be a reward."
Gray nodded in response. The first time they had met, the other party had given him a good impression. As expected of a disciple of the Gusman Clan who had a good reputation. Indeed, he had the style of the Gusman Clan.
Since time was of the essence, and he was worried that the Frost Moon Flower would be swallowed by the Magic Light level blood fiend, Jonatan Gusman made some preparations before setting off with Gray.
A young woman set off with them. She was Jonathan Guzman's sister, Rebecca Guzman.
She was wearing a red battle suit and looked quite pretty. Her hair was combed into a large braid, and the braid swayed slightly as she walked.
"Brother, is it really okay to ask him for help?
I estimate that the battle strength of that blood fiend is already at the fifth level of Magic Light. "
On the way, Rebecca Guzman moved closer to Jonatan Gusman and asked softly. She was obviously worried about Gray's strength.
She had heard a little about Gray. She heard that he had obtained the qualification to enter the Tower of Trials in the top clans' competition not long ago. However, she did not take it to heart because she had also obtained the qualification to enter the Tower of Trials. It was just that it was five years ago.
In fact, in this competition for the qualification to enter the Tower of Trials, the two upper clans, the Gusman Clan and the Urgas Clan, did not send out their most outstanding disciples. This allowed the disciples of the middle clans, like Miguel Vija, to have a chance.
The reason was that the outstanding disciples of the two clans had already entered the Tower of Trials before, and each person could only enter the Tower of Trials once.
"Don't underestimate him. His battle strength is not necessarily weaker than mine. He might even be stronger than me."
Jonatan Gusman said with a solemn expression.
"Not weaker than you, and might even be stronger than you?
Brother, are you sure? "
Rebecca Gusman's expression turned to one of surprise.
She was very clear about her brother's strength. He was at the fourth level of Magic Light, and he possessed water and metal elemental abilities. His battle strength was comparable to the fifth level of Magic Light.
However, her brother, who was so powerful, actually said that the other party was comparable to him or might even surpass him. Did this not mean that the other party's battle strength was at least at the fifth level of Magic Light?
"Of course, I'm not joking."
Jonatan Gusman said with a solemn expression.
"He also participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Void Beast. At that time, he teamed up with Blanca Mandy, Landry Ngomo, and George Lopez. The battle strength he displayed was not inferior to the three of them."
"Blanca Mandy, Landry Ngomo, and George Lopez were willing to team up with him?
His battle strength was not inferior to the three of them? "
Rebecca Guzman was completely shocked. There was no doubt about the strength of the three most powerful families. Even if several top families were to join forces, they might not necessarily be a match for one of the most powerful families.
Their powerful strength made the children of the three most powerful families extremely arrogant and haughty. Other than each other, they would never get involved with the children of other families. She did not expect that the three of them would make an exception and team up with the other party.
What surprised her even more was that the other party's battle strength was not inferior to the three of them. She finally understood why her brother had invited him.
On one hand, he was unwilling to share the Frost Moon Flower with others. On the other hand, he probably had the intention of befriending the other party.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The three of them were all at the Magic Light level, so their speed was naturally extremely fast. Even though they were traveling on foot, they entered the Forbidden Forest after a few hours. They went deeper in, and after more than an hour, they arrived at the place where they found the Frost Moon Flower.
It was a lake next to a mountain, surrounded by dense trees. Although it was summer, there was a thick layer of ice on the surface of the lake. Cold air seeped out like smoke, making the entire lake look like it was shrouded in smoke.
In the midst of the smoke, a palm-sized white flower that looked like it was carved out of ice bloomed leisurely. It did not emit a delicate fragrance, only wisps of cold air. It was precisely because of the cold air it emitted that a layer of ice had formed on the surface of the lake.
"Be careful, that blood fiend is at the bottom of the lake."
Rebecca Guzman said with some lingering fear.
Last time, she had almost died under the sneak attack of the blood fiend at the bottom of the lake. If she had not used her blood skill at the crucial moment, she might not have been able to escape.
Gray looked at the surface of the lake and was surprised to find that they were not the only "visitors". Apart from them, there was another blood fiend.
This was a seven-meter-long blood fiend covered in black scales. It was a desolate-level blood fiend, the Shadow Dragon. It was a desolate-level blood fiend with the bloodline of a dragon.
At this point, Gray naturally understood that the so-called dragon was only a rule-level blood fiend. Even a rule-level powerhouse could not be sure if a true divine beast really existed.
Pa, pa, pa!
The Shadow Dragon discovered the Frost Moon Flower in the middle of the lake. It stepped on the ice and very carefully approached the Frost Moon Flower.
Suddenly, the ice under its feet cracked. From under the ice, a huge white mouth that looked like it was made of ice sprang out and bit its body.
Crack!
The huge mouth closed, and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard. The Shadow Dragon struggled violently in pain, but it could not break free at all. It was dragged into the water.
The surface of the lake was dyed red with blood, causing a disturbance. In the end, the disturbance subsided. The Shadow Dragon should be completely dead and turned into food for that giant beast.
"It's a Demonic Frost Crocodile, but it's much bigger than the one described in the book. It seems that it has consumed many herbs that can promote evolution."
Whether it was the Blood Moon Grass or the Frost Moon Flower, they both had the characteristics of increasing one's strength and promoting bloodline evolution. The Demonic Frost Crocodile should have consumed similar magic herbs before, which was why it could grow to such a large size.
"I'll lure it out. Your Excellency Gray will take the opportunity to blast it out of the lake."
After a simple discussion, Jonatan Gusman and Gray took action. Jonatan Gusman walked on the lake and approached the Frost Moon Flower. Gray followed behind him with a distance.
Tap, tap, tap!
His leather boots stepped on the ice, producing rhythmic tapping sounds. Jonatan Gusman approached the Frost Moon Flower at a moderate speed. If one looked closely, one would notice that his body was slightly bent, and his gaze was looking at his feet. Clearly, he was wary of the Demonic Frost Crocodile in the lake.
Crack!
Suddenly, a blurry shadow appeared under the ice. Then, the ice under Jonatan Gusman's feet shattered, and a huge mouth that looked like it was carved out of ice bit at Jonatan Gusman.
Bang!
At this moment, Jonatan Gusman stepped on the void, and his body rose in a straight line, escaping to higher ground. The Demonic Frost Crocodile slapped the water with its tail and leaped high, biting at Jonatan Gusman.
Bang!
Before it could bite Jonatan Gusman, a large amount of black fog slapped its body like a huge hand.
The ice-like scales on its body were instantly corroded, and blood stains appeared. The huge body that was more than thirty meters tall was sent flying far away. It was thrown out of the lake, plowing a long trail on the ground.
"Big Brother is right. Gray Leopold's combat power is not weaker than his!"
Sensing that the power of Gray's attack had definitely reached the fifth level of Magic Light, Rebecca Gusman narrowed her eyes with a hint of surprise.
Although she did not doubt her brother's words, she could not help but be slightly surprised when she saw the combat power of the fifth level of Magic Light.
The other party should be younger than her by a few years, but he had already surpassed her and had the combat power of the fifth level of Magic Light. It was hard to imagine that such a person came from a family like Leopold.
Woo!
The Demonic Frost Crocodile that was sent flying got up and glared at Gray furiously. It opened its huge mouth and roared. Then, ice balls with a diameter of a meter flew toward Gray like cannonballs.
Chi, chi!
In front of Gray, the black fog turned into a wall. The ice balls hit the black fog wall and were instantly melted by the black fog. In the end, all the ice balls were blocked by the black fog.
