Looking at the ordinary Ogre obediently following orders and leaving,
Tang Zheng couldn't help but complain, "Dealing with this group of Ogres, this method is indeed simpler and more direct."
These Ogres clearly knew that their leader was being controlled by him, yet they still only listened to Ogre Gu's commands. This kind of "wisdom"...
Could be considered a racial trait.
"Looks like I'll be staying here for a while."
Tang Zheng scanned the environment within this area and said to Ogre Gu, "Help me clear out a clean area here."
"Okay."
Ogre Gu opened his mouth, a rough voice resounding, his terrifying and fierce eyes carrying a hint of absentmindedness as he nodded.
"Charm-type" mental control Magic is different from hypnosis-type Magic. In the subconscious of the controlled, the person who casts the Magic is regarded as the most trusted and closest person.
This kind of mental manipulation does not cause stiffness or confusion in the behavior and consciousness of the controlled.
As long as it doesn't involve making the controlled do something completely against common sense, like suicide, basically anything can be made to do by the charmed opponent.
Ogre Gu's large size is not only suitable for combat, but also quite excellent for doing work. In just half an hour, he cleared out a clean area.
Tang Zheng also had Ogre Gu chop down a few large trees and casually built a simple wooden shed in this clean area.
The next period of time was waiting.
He didn't know how many Ogres there were in the eastern region of the entire Tove Great Forest, but he knew that it would take some time for those few Ogres to gather all the Ogres in the area.
Taking advantage of the waiting time.
Tang Zheng didn't idle, and began to replenish Magic Scrolls and other resources.
His current Mana has reached 48 points, enough to create fourth-tier Magic Scrolls, but Tang Zheng plans to replenish third-tier Angel Summoning Scrolls first.
When Mana was insufficient.
Tang Zheng sparred with Ogre Gu. Having such a strong, durable, and resistant opponent was too wasteful not to use for practice.
During this process, he naturally didn't use Curse Power.
He was well aware of his weaknesses.
So far, all of his battles have basically been won by relying on skills and Magic, to put it bluntly, through opportunistic means.
His true combat level.
Tang Zheng had self-awareness. Compared to the experts in this world who had trained step by step, the gap was much larger.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day.
That the Ogres who had left returned, bringing with them Ogres from all over the surrounding forest.
Seeing these returning Ogres.
Tang Zheng felt a slight relief in his heart. After a day of no movement, he had thought that these Ogres had all run away.
As the Ogres gathered, the thick stench of various odors permeated the air again, and the originally empty area began to become crowded.
Looking from above.
This empty area looked like it was gathering an Ogre army.
Faced with the chaotic roars and shouts of this large group of Ogres, Tang Zheng began to count with a blank expression.
With these ordinary Ogres in the upper ranks present, there was no need to worry about this group of Ogres getting out of control. This demonstrated the suppression of the upper-level races over the lower-level races.
Tang Zheng now somewhat understood the benefits of the Ogre race's low intelligence.
"271 Ogres?"
After Tang Zheng finished counting the number of Ogres, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This number shouldn't be all of them.
After mentally calculating, an average Ogre is worth around 300 Experience Points. If I kill all these Ogres, I should gain about 80,000 Experience Points.
"Apart from the outer areas, have these Ogres capture all the high-level... uh, large beasts or Demon Creatures and bring them here."
"Alive, not dead!"
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with fervor as he spoke to Ogre Gu.
After hearing Tang Zheng's instructions.
Ogre Gu gathered the ordinary Ogres to issue the command, and the ordinary Ogres dispersed to relay the instructions to the two hundred-plus Ogres.
The orders were passed down layer by layer.
The two hundred-plus Ogres quickly mobilized, scattering into the forest.
"Next is the harvest season." Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with excitement as he saw his plan working.
He had the Ogres capture large beasts or Demon Creatures, the apex predators of the Tove Great Forest's food chain.
As for most ordinary beasts and Demon Creatures.
Tang Zheng didn't plan to hunt them, or even interfere in the outer areas, to avoid attracting outside attention.
Moreover.
The deaths of these large beasts or Demon Creatures would better facilitate his next plan.
Even if Ogre Gu was killed, with no powerful beasts or Demon Creatures in the core area, there would be no need to worry about the turmoil caused by the lack of Ogre Gu's deterrence.
Time passed day by day.
Tang Zheng began to get busy. Besides making Magic Scrolls and sparring with Ogre Gu, he spent the rest of his time dealing with the various large beasts or Demon Creatures brought by the Ogres.
The average level of these beasts and Demon Creatures was in the range of 12-17.
Initially.
It only took Tang Zheng three days to gain 10,000 Experience Points, but in the following days, the rate of Experience Points acquisition gradually decreased.
Xia Huo Month, September 23rd.
Half a month had passed.
Outside the wooden shed.
"Awoo." The Small Evil Spirit Dog lay on the ground with a bulging belly, seemingly finding it difficult to even move.
During this time.
Tang Zheng had almost filled his daily schedule. Besides making Magic Scrolls every day, or replenishing the Mana of the Death Orb in his spare time.
He was constantly fighting with Ogre Gu to better master his powers.
The other busiest one was the Small Evil Spirit Dog. The corpses of various powerful beasts or Demon Creatures were like heaven and earth compared to the monotonous Goblin food it had before.
The current Small Evil Spirit Dog could no longer be described as "small."
Sufficient food and nutrition.
Had caused the Small Evil Spirit Dog's size to soar to a height of about one meter in half a month.
Its fur was shiny black, especially the two horns on its head, which had fully grown out. Faintly, the Small Evil Spirit Dog already had a dangerous aura.
Although the number of corpses was large, they were consumed quickly. The Small Evil Spirit Dog couldn't eat much itself. The real consumers were the Ogres. The two hundred-plus Ogres easily consumed the large number of beast corpses they captured.
In this process.
More than 20 Ogres were lost.
Bang! The corpse of a High-level Tiger, more than three meters long with spotted patterns all over its body and a fierce appearance, was thrown in front of the Small Evil Spirit Dog by Tang Zheng.
"Don't waste it."
Tang Zheng glanced at the Small Evil Spirit Dog, which was so full that it could barely move, and spoke calmly.
"Woo~" The Small Evil Spirit Dog shook its body, didn't stand up, and let out a whimper of grievance.
Tang Zheng ignored the Small Evil Spirit Dog, which was acting spoiled after getting a good deal, and looked at the attribute panel in front of him.
Experience Bar: 74122/30000
In just over half a month, my Experience Points increased by more than 70,000, and the large Demon Creatures and beasts in the eastern area of the Tove Great Forest have been almost cleared out.
"The Totem Avatar skill is indeed not that simple." Tang Zheng had been experimenting with the skill using a large number of Demon Creature corpses during this period, and he had gained a relatively new understanding.
As long as the totem is not fixed, the Totem Avatar process can be interrupted at any time. As for whether it can be canceled and replaced after the totem is fixed...
Since he hadn't fixed his first totem, Tang Zheng wasn't sure.
The information he currently had was:
Depending on the Demon Creature or beast, the basic attributes increased by the totem are not fixed, but the maximum increase for any basic attribute is only 50 points.
The value wasn't much.
But it was also within expectations, after all, it was just a mid-tier class.
What Tang Zheng cared about was Feat Acquisition. For example, with that High-level Tiger just now, he had specifically experimented.
This Demon Creature was born with two abilities: Night Vision and the ability to move faster in the jungle.
If he used the High-level Tiger as a totem, and didn't choose *Totem Activation, but instead chose Feat Acquisition*, Tang Zheng could choose one of the High-level Tiger's two feat abilities to fix.
Of course.
These two abilities were useless to Tang Zheng, but what if he switched to a higher-level Demon Creature?
Because of his strength, Fighting Demon Jie Luo couldn't hunt higher-level Demon Creatures, but he could.
...
At the same time!
During the half month that Tang Zheng stayed in the Tove Great Forest to concentrate on leveling up, two major events occurred in the Bahharuth Empire and the Re-Estize Kingdom! Go Gin, the strongest Martial King in the Imperial Capital Arena and a symbol of the Empire, suddenly resigned.
This incident had a huge impact on the entire Imperial Capital and the Bahharuth Empire, and even affected the battlefield between the two countries, causing a decline in the morale of the Imperial army.
It was said that.
The Bloody Emperor personally sent people to try to get him back, and even a conflict arose. One of the Empire's Four Knights even showed up, and only through the mediation of the great merchant Osk did a larger conflict not erupt.
As for the Martial King Go Gin, his whereabouts were unknown after leaving the Bahharuth Empire, and immediately afterward, the Empire issued an arrest warrant.
The arrest wasn't for the Martial King Go Gin.
But for an Alchemist from the Re-Estize Kingdom. The title of "Black-haired Genius Alchemist" also spread from the Empire, and various parties in the Kingdom began to pay attention to it.
On the other side.
Renners, who was wanted by the Empire with a large reward and even charged with treason, fought Gazef in the Royal Capital.
The two sides ultimately ended in a draw.
King Rambossa III personally summoned the two, granting the Warrior Captain Gazef one of the Five Great National Treasures, a Magic Item, and also bestowing Renners with the noble title of Knight.
This matter was naturally learned by the Bahharuth Empire, making the battlefield situation on the border even more tense.
