Chapter 118: Blood Ghoul (2/2)

When Sam came, she came down and ran over to greet him.

He just smiled in reply. At this moment Jack wasn't in the camp, jasmine said he went to hunt.

After a while, Sam brought a Green horned deer with him, he greeted Sam.

”Is your work complete?”

”Yeah. We can leave today.”

After that short exchange, all of them sat to eat.

Later, they packed everything up, Sam took Yanwu and Sky out along with Harbinger.

Soon, three of them are soaring towards their last Count city and that is the Cougar city.

This city is a bit different because, the city wasn't named after its surroundings or resources, rather it was named after the noble family who holds the count title. The Cougar city is under the jurisdiction of the Cougar family.

They are also first-generation nobles who earned their title during the establishment of the empire just like how the Blue flame city was named.

Within three days the three of them are near the city. It has been only a little more than three months since they started the journey to clear three count cities' underground forces.

Now, all they have to do is deal with the Cougar city and wait for the remaining people to come. Then their mission can be considered complete and they can return to the Blue flame city.

When they are near the vicinity, they landed and started walking, but in the middle of their short journey in which, ape is working on finding some trees and herbs, they smelled something very ominous.

There seemed to be a thick blood smell, nearing them and the ape became more sensitive, because blood smell doesn't feel delicious at all.

Then suddenly a blood red figure stopped them in their tracks. It is like a lump of blood red matter with two arms. It is five feet tall and there are two hollows on its 'face' which seemed to be the eyes.

Sam never saw this before, but Jack seemed to know about this.

”Blood spirit ghoul.” When Sam heard this, he furrowed his brows.

But there is no more time to get answers as the ghoul started attacking them.

Sam deliberately blocked the punch, the body of the ghoul seemed to be in semi solid state, but the punch felt like he was hit by a lump of solid iron.

He took a step back, Jack started fighting it with sword and soon he finished the fight with a stab. The ghoul doesn't seem to be the strong.

Sam walked towards the ghoul and he saw Jack taking out his sword and at the tip of the sword a round shaped red coloured gem like thing was present.

Seeing Sam walking towards him, Jack said.

”My mom said to me about the Blood ghoul and apparently, the person who killed my father was one who uses the blood spirit ghouls.

They are actually one of the creatures created by most vicious of methods.

These ghouls are formed from the blood of the deceased people, people filled with the resentment.

The people who were tortured to extreme and slaughtered at a same place will have a collective resentment towards a single person, their blood essence will gather together and all their negative emotions along with the spiritual energy will form this blood core made of those blood essences.

But the maker will mark the blood core with his spiritual brand and control it, but this seemed to be a stray one.”

When Sam heard Jack's explanation, he was surprised. He never expected that he would encounter something like this here.

He crouched down and placed his hands in the puddle of semisolid blood. It can be called as condensed blood. But that is not what surprised him most.

The most surprising thing is there is a metal that is on par with the meteorite sand completely dissolved in the blood and that is none other than the Blood iron.

Yes, the iron that is present in human's blood. Since, the blood along with a person upgrades with a cultivator, the iron in the body also generates that quality, but the only difference is the Blood iron is upgraded with the Blood essence only.

So, if a person forges a blood with this iron, he or she has to walk the path of slaughter to improve the grade of the weapon, they feed on their enemies' blood essence to improve the grade.

The acquisition of the blood is also quite inhumane, that is why even though the blood iron is not scarce, it is not seen anywhere at all.

He is surprised that the Blood ghouls will use this Blood iron to attack.
