Chapter 764 - 485: Stubborn Griffin, Barbaric Orcs Attack
Zong Shen quickly scanned through the enhancement subtitles, already clear in his mind.
The mountain forest was not peaceful; it was a habitat for many creatures.
As for these Barbaric Orcs, Zong Shen automatically categorized them as a degraded branch of Orcs.
From their ambush style, it seemed that these Barbaric Orcs, despite their low intelligence, hadn’t degraded to the level of mindless wild beasts.
They were probably similar to goblins, possessing low wicked intelligence along with basic organizational structure and hunting instincts.
But it couldn’t be ruled out that there might be Wise Men among the Barbaric Orcs.
The wisdom of many tribes did not come from birth but rather from later awakening.
Shaman, Witch Doctor, and the like were such examples.
In any case, Zong Shen decided not to provoke them for now; he would bluff as long as possible.
Hiding within the defensive circle formed by Ghouls and Pandragon Loyal Guards, Zong Shen felt much relieved.
However, these were all summoned through Summoning Skills, with obvious time limits.
Ghouls could exist for 10 minutes, and Pandragon Loyal Guards for 15 minutes.
In other words, if the contract wasn’t completed in fifteen minutes at most, he could think of another plan.
Currently, his skills that could still be summoned included the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] and [Strength Demon Armor].
In addition, he also carried some Tier 4 and Tier 5 Spell Scrolls and items like goblin bombs and flamethrowers.
While Zong Shen was worried, those Barbaric Orcs around him began to approach again.
Within the range of the Golden Circle Mark, judging by their movement, Zong Shen could feel their eagerness.
Perhaps in the eyes of these creatures, whether it was Zong Shen or Wind Ridge·Roar Blood, they were just food.
Five more minutes passed, and Zong Shen’s spirit gradually tensed.
Finally, the contract was fulfilled; those chains turned into purple halos, immersing into Zong Shen and the Dragon Vein Griffin respectively, forming a light mass that completely enveloped the huge Wind Ridge·Roar Blood.
"Phew..."
"Goodness, it’s finally over,"
Zong Shen wiped his Battle Helmet, as if wiping off the sweat on his forehead from a distance.
After the contract was completed, it would automatically repair the contract pet’s injuries.
It was the same when contracting Pigsy before, and now naturally the same with the Dragon Vein Griffin.
This would save Zong Shen the process of Healing it.
Given its injuries and Blood Volume, it would require drinking at least a liter of Moon God Spring to heal.
It would also take several to over ten days to recover from the wounds.
Those half-human-sized white scales and feathers weren’t like the chives in the field, one crop after another.
Zong Shen twisted his neck; his eyes under the Battle Helmet were filled with War Intent.
He took out Lei Luo’s Horn and began chanting for Casting.
As a semi-skilled Thunder Mage, he currently only mastered Thunder Light Arrow and Chain Lightning.
But this was already enough; after all, he was usually one to engage in close combat.
Thunder Magic was just a supplement, including Magic Talent, which was mainly for convenient activation of magic items.
Many Magical Curiosities required Mana consumption to be activated and used.
For example, previously at Evans Manor, the token to open a space singularity had such a requirement.
Based on the golden mark prompt in his visual range, Zong Shen launched the first Thunder Light Arrow.
This Thunder Light Arrow, shining a bright blue arc, flew into the shrubs dozens of meters away.
"Crackle!"
"Ah!"
It hit the target with Precision, exploding in electric light on a Barbaric Orc wielding a Stone Axe.
It simultaneously blasted away a small patch of the shrub hiding its figure.
Zong Shen’s eyes were bright, targeting that Barbaric Orc like a hawk.
This was quite the big guy; its skin was a yellow-green color, and even while crouching, its body was conspicuous.
Judging from this body size, it would stand at least two and a half meters tall once it stood up.
Its body was very fit without an ounce of excess fat, instead covered with many gray scars.
The Barbaric Orc’s head was large, with features resembling a human, but its canine teeth were very prominent in the jaw.
This formed an overbite face, with nostrils upturned and ears slightly pointed, bald except for a tuft of black hair tied into an updo with vine skin on top of its head.
Creatures dwelling in the forest were never easy to deal with.
The identity between prey and Hunter frequently shifts.
So, living here, these Barbaric Orcs couldn’t act willfully.
They also needed to hunt to obtain food and thus continue to reproduce.
The laws of the forest were primitive and unrefined; strength was king, each relied on their ability.
It was after enduring a Thunder Light Arrow that this Barbaric Orc couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
"Yaho!!!"
Its exposure was a signal, followed by a primitive roar from behind Zong Shen.
Afterward, all thirteen Golden Circle Marks around moved into action.
Like primitive men, they howled as they charged toward Zong Shen.
"Shoo shoo shoo!"
Along with a few sharp hissing sounds.
"Clap!"
A few fist-sized stones flew toward Zong Shen but were blocked by Pandragon Loyal Guards holding Heavy Shields.
"Kill them all!"
Zong Shen calmly gave the command.
The Ghouls had three or four minutes left before disappearing, and Pandragon Loyal Guards had only eight or nine minutes of existence time left. To resolve this group of Barbaric Orcs now wouldn’t waste the use of these Waves of Summoning Skills.
Zong Shen grabbed the Trident he had planted into the ground, his form moved as he charged at the nearest Barbaric Orc.
Because the contract had taken too long, his [Strength Amplification] and [Strength Demon Possession] states had faded.
Yet dealing with these Barbaric Orcs was still not an issue.
He had already investigated earlier; these Barbaric Orcs’ strength wasn’t strong.
They were all Green Elite Level tier monsters.
Among them were four Stone Throwers, the remaining nine were [Barbarian Orc Warrior (Green)].
Their strength was about the same, with no discovery of a higher-tier Commander!
