Chapter 67: The Return
Soon after, the trio left the chamber and walked out of the imperial castle.
Even the injured Bernal did not let go, the three of them were carrying heavy gold coins on their backs, Gray and Bernal each carried more than 100 catties of gold coins, and Viscount Fergus carried about 300 catties of gold coins on his back.
It's not that they can't carry their backs, but if they continue to increase their weight, it will seriously affect their mobility ability, and in this red leaf forest where blood beasts are rampant, if they lose their mobility, it can be said to be extremely dangerous.
Like last time, in the face of the Shadow Snake's sudden sneak attack, Viscount Ruofergus reacted a little slower by half a beat, and failed to make a timely move, unloading most of the Shadow Snake's attack power.
Bernal couldn't just dislocate his hands, Gray couldn't be unharmed, even if he didn't die, I'm afraid he would be seriously injured, even if he was protected by armor like the Iron Rhino Inner Armor, it was impossible to protect anywhere on his body.
In fact, the current weight has affected their mobility to a certain extent, but it is not serious, especially Gray and Viscount Fergus, in addition to gold coins, there is also Shadow Serpent blood, and the weight is even heavier.
"It's gone!"
Walking back, the three of them quickly came to the place where they had killed the Shadow Snake before, only to find that the place where the Shadow Snake's corpse should have been found was empty.
"Dragged by some big beast!"
Bernal said with a frown.
The corpse of the shadow snake weighed at least five or six hundred catties, even if it was broken in two, the heaviest one weighed at least 400 catties, and to be able to drag away such a heavy corpse, the size of this large beast was absolutely huge.
"Look in the direction of this trace!"
Suddenly, Gray's pupils shrank suddenly, and he pointed in the direction of the trail.
Viscount Fergus and Bernal looked up, their pupils shrinking.
The trail of dragging, the direction it was heading, was towards the canyon they had passed before, and it was self-evident what it represented.
"There's really a blood beast in that canyon!"
Bernal said after swallowing slightly.
"Let's go, be careful!"
Viscount Fergus took a deep look into the canyon, then beckoned to Gray and Bernal.
Regardless of whether there was really a blood beast in this canyon, they had to pass through this canyon, although they didn't want to, but if they really encountered it, they would only have to fight.
And the reason why he is unwilling to fight the blood beast at will is that in the face of the blood beast, he is not sure of winning.
Different blood beasts have extremely different physical abilities.
The wind wolf can spit out the wind blade in its mouth, and its movement speed can be ranked upstream, and the giant python has the ability to stealth shadows, and its strength is also quite large, and its movement speed can only be regarded as midstream.
Because of this, he was able to kill him by practicing the blood method "Wind Wolf", and if he encountered the fastest moving wind leopard among the fierce blood beasts, or the ironclad rhinoceros with the strongest defense, his ability was restrained, not to mention that there was no chance of winning, but the chance of winning was definitely not great.
Careful and careful, away from the trail of dragging, the three of them walked very cautiously in the canyon.
Whewโ
When they reached the halfway point, they suddenly heard a roar similar to that of an ape, the sound was like a sonic bomb, wave after wave, catharsis throughout the canyon, reverberating back and forth.
"Oh no, it's been discovered!"
Bernal's face was panicked, and he panicked and tried to run out of the canyon.
Gray couldn't help but turn pale, he was also very aware of the restraint characteristics between blood beasts, even Viscount Fergus, in the face of fierce blood beasts, he didn't dare to guarantee a 100% victory.
"Don't panic, you didn't find us!"
At this moment, Viscount Fergus said in a deep voice.
Gray and Bernal listened carefully, and immediately discovered the reason why Viscount Fergus said this.
There was no movement of rapid movement, and it was clear that the ape blood beast was not rushing this way.
"It's fine!"
The two glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Maybe it was the unconscious roar that didn't find them, or maybe although they did, they were now well fed and had the flesh and blood of the shadow snake, and they didn't look down on the hundreds of catties of flesh on their bodies.
The three of them continued to move forward, walked through the canyon without danger, and then bypassed the places where they might have blood beasts found before, and finally walked out of the area where blood beasts were rampant, and came to the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest, that is, within 20 miles of the edge of the Red Leaf Forest.
There were no traces of the activities of large blood beasts here, only the traces of ordinary animals, and this was obviously no longer a threat to them.
It was past noon, and the three of them had time to stop and take out dry food, and they ate lunch hastily with water.
The dry food is the dried meat marinated in the cold tiger meat, which is extremely nutritious and is the best choice for satisfying hunger.
And after the castle chef's careful cooking, it has formed a flavor similar to Gray's previous life coleslaw, which is really good.
Without the pressure from the blood beasts, the beasts on the periphery did not pose the slightest threat to them, and the three of them were greatly relieved, in a good mood and at the same time eating a lot, even Viscount Fergus and Bernal had eaten more than usual.
And Gray directly wiped out all the remaining jerky into his stomach, becoming the most he ate since he came to this world.
At first, Viscount Fergus was shocked by Gray's horrific appetite, but now they are used to it.
Of course, if it were in a civilian family, people like Gray would probably be discarded, but the Fergus family would not lack this bit of food, and it would be impossible to drive away such a talented child as Gray.
"Father, it's still early, why don't we find a place to hide our things and turn back again."
After eating and drinking, Bernal couldn't help but think of the pile of gold coins, and his eyes lit up and proposed.
"No, there is no need to say much about this matter, since you have eaten enough, hurry up and leave the Red Leaf Forest."
Viscount Fergus, after careful consideration, rejected the tempting offer.
If it was just a blood beast, he might have agreed, but he guessed that the group in front of him was likely to turn back, and there were still stronger beings than him, so he really didn't want to take this risk.
The three of them hit the road again, and two hours later, they walked out of the Akaba Forest.
Finding the hidden war horse, fortunately no one found and took it away, the three of them got on the war horse, put on their cloaks again, and returned to Fergus Castle.
Because of the increased load, the horses moved significantly slower, and after three hours, it was almost dark that the three returned to Fergus Castle.
"Sir."
"Father."
Seeing the return of the three of them, Madame Milan, Sarah, and Caroline all greeted them.
"Great, you're all right!"
Seeing that there were no obvious wounds on Viscount Fergus and Bernal, Mrs. Milan said happily, if nothing else, the one she said about you should not include Gray.
"Brother, you're not hurt, are you?"
Sarah, however, leaned over to Gray's side, her face full of concern, her blue eyes sparkling.
Gray's heart couldn't help but warm, touched the other party's head, and smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."
After dinner, after the dinner, Gray, Viscount Fergus, and Bernal told in detail about the thrilling process of exploring the treasures on the map today.
When they heard that they were suddenly attacked by the Shadow Serpent and that Bernal's hands were dislocated, everyone was nervous, and after hearing that Viscount Fergus had finally killed the Shadow Serpent, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And when they heard that the treasure was actually a relic of the imperial period, and there was also a secret room, in which there were piles of gold coins like a hill, everyone couldn't help but breathe rapidly, and their faces were full of shock and surprise.
And when they learned that the three of them only brought back about 500 catties of gold coins, and they no longer planned to continue going, everyone couldn't help but feel regretful.
It would be great if they could keep that mountain-like gold coin owned by the Fergus family, and their current cultivation resources would probably be doubled immediately.
"It's a pity!"
Madame Milan sighed again and again, but she also understood that Viscount Fergus had made the right decision.
"Wow, you can buy a lot of crunchy candy."
Sarah's eyes lit up.
Recently, she has fallen in love with a sugar product in the city of Fergus, spending almost every month on her pocket money.
Gray had tasted it, it was a kind of candy with nuts inlaid with nuts similar to peanut candy in his previous life, but the nuts in it were not peanuts, but other nuts, and there were many types, and the taste was more delicious than the peanut candy he had eaten before.
"Gray, can you lend me the book you got?"
Caroline was interested in the book Gray had gotten of called The Bloodline Catalog.
A book that is likely to be from the Age of Empires is an irresistible temptation for her, a heavy bookmaker.
"No problem, I'll give it to you when I get back to the bedroom!"
Gray nodded in agreement.
Although he also wanted to read this book, and vaguely felt that this book was important to him, but since Caroline wanted to read it, he simply showed her first, and then read it after she finished reading.
"Thank you."
Caroline smiled sweetly and thanked her.
"No, you don't."
Gray shook his head slightly, and when he put the book back in the bedroom just now, he also secretly took a copy of the Shadow Snake blood.
He was going to store this Shadow Snake blood, and wait until it was longer and his body was stronger, and then he would take it, and now that he hadn't taken the Cold Tiger Leap Liquid for a long time, he really didn't dare to take the Shadow Snake Blood again.
