Chapter 767 - 486: Zong Shen’s Arrangement—One Boss and Several Second-in-Commands
"Make them submit."
Zong Shen pressed his head against its neck and casually issued the command.
"Screech!"
"Screech..."
"Screech screech."
It let out a series of cries, incomprehensible to Zong Shen.
But under the effect of loyalty, Eagle would not refuse his orders.
Without a response from Zong Shen, Eagle had no choice but to raise its neck and emit several thunderous cries.
The griffins surrounding them erupted in chaos.
They began to screech loudly, flapping their wings and flying around Eagle.
It seemed as though they were protesting this decision.
"Screech!!"
Eagle let out a long cry, broke through the griffin’s encirclement with a swift motion,
revealing Zong Shen who was on its back.
It circled, screeching as if swearing an oath.
At this moment, a few particularly large commander-level griffins flew out.
Judging by their size, these griffins had likely reached the peak of commander level.
One more step and they could cross into the overlord-level, becoming overlord-level griffins.
However, these griffins lack the dragon vein, hence the difference in appearance.
Among them, one griffin was entirely golden, even its neck feathers were a pale golden.
Unfortunately, the color was somewhat faint, more yellowish than golden.
The golden parts were bright and shiny, whereas the yellow appeared dull.
This unique appearance made it somewhat resemble the legendary Golden Feathered Griffin.
It seemed that Eagle was not the only dominant figure in this griffin’s nest.
There were also a few half-step overlord-level senior griffins.
These senior griffins were surrounding Eagle, seemingly in a dispute.
The chattering screeching made Zong Shen’s ears buzz.
This was the so-called "arguing like birds"!
The leader’s command was not forceful, so the second-in-commands stepped out to protest.
Zong Shen observed for a while and came to this conclusion.
Just as he was about to impose some discipline on Eagle,
Eagle suddenly accelerated, its gigantic wings fully spread, taking a gliding posture.
Its wingspan was about twenty-six or seven meters, enough to block out the sky.
Eagle circled around the griffin’s nest and returned to its original spot.
It glared down at the protesting senior griffins.
Then it inclined its body, opened its yellow beak, and spewed out a column of breath as thick as a water barrel.
This breath was light blue, filled with a multitude of wind blades.
Initially as thick as a barrel, it expanded to a diameter of two or three meters at a hundred meters away.
It aimed its breath at the sides of the protesting senior griffins.
The concentrated wind blades and the frantic Wind Spirit Magic Power went into a frenzy.
The wind blades scattered, leaving wounds on the senior griffins.
The breath lasted a full thirty seconds before ending, and Eagle exhaled a puff of blue smoke.
The senior griffins trembled in fear; faced with the might of the veteran overlord-level Dragon Vein Griffin, they were indeed unable to resist.
"Screech screech..."
They screeched again, though much lower in pitch.
Then they all flew to Eagle’s side,
began rubbing their necks against Eagle’s, making a gesture of goodwill.
At this point, the other griffins followed suit, flapping their wings in the air, limbs tucked in.
They assumed a posture of submission.
After witnessing an internal griffin drama, these griffins ultimately, through Eagle, indirectly submitted to Zong Shen.
"Heh heh, what a great show."
"You’re much more impressive than I am!"
Zong Shen said with a smile, patting its back of the head.
Then, he grabbed the scales and stood on Eagle’s back,
and directly climbed onto its head.
Eagle’s head was as large as one and a half heavy truck cabs.
Not to mention climbing onto it, you could even pitch a tent or set up a barbecue grill up there without a problem.
Standing on Eagle’s head gave him the feeling of looking down upon the flock of griffins.
The perch was stable, as long as Eagle did not make any high-speed maneuvers, he would not fall off.
He looked around, gestured to that golden senior griffin.
That speculation as a Golden Feathered Griffin tilted its head in a human-like way.
It took five or six seconds to react, flapped its wings, and flew to the side.
It leaned its body against Eagle’s head, allowing Zong Shen to step onto its back.
As a peak commander-level griffin, with not entirely pure Golden Feathered bloodline,
this senior griffin’s size reached over nine meters.
Zong Shen climbed from Eagle’s head onto its body.
He casually pointed in a direction, and it obediently complied.
After wandering aimlessly for a bit, he commanded the senior griffin to take him back to Eagle’s head.
Now Zong Shen had confirmed that these creatures had indeed submitted.
He selected ten strong captain-level griffins, six males and four females.
He also chose six commander-level griffins, including that golden senior, with a ratio of two females to four males.
Finally, Eagle carried Zong Shen into the griffin’s nest.
Upon entry, a strong stench of rot and the unique scent of birds struck him.
Zong Shen couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose and held his breath.
He verified the griffin’s quantity again.
Among the eight dead griffins, six were captain level and two were commander level.
Excluding those checked by Zong Shen,
the griffin’s nest currently had one overlord-level griffin, twenty-five mature commander-level griffins, forty captain-level griffins, sixteen juvenile griffins, and eleven griffin eggs.
Commander level is equivalent to Rare Level, just different terminology for the same tier.
Among these, the number of griffin eggs was four more than when he first inquired.
They must have been laid in recent days.
The griffin’s nest was dimly lit, filled with many soft branches and leaves.
There were also half-rotten and fresh animal carcasses.
The mix of blood and rot was unbearably foul!
