Chapter 0009: Take Me Away from This Forest

"Acquire Skill - [Riding] - Would you like to learn?"

If this opportunity is missed, it would be a great pity

Upon seeing this, Xien felt a surge of joy in his heart and quickly employed the same method, continuously infusing the griffin with magical energy, causing its cries to become increasingly pleasant and its resistance to Xien to diminish.

The griffin, realizing what had transpired, let out an angry cry in the moment of its reaction, and a surge of magical power emanated from its body, transforming into waves.

Caw! Caw!

The griffin only felt a heavy blow, let out a cry, and its entire body rolled in mid-air, nearly losing its ability to fly and almost falling down.

pound

The true form of the shadow is a creature with the body and claws of a lion, a head resembling that of an eagle, and a pair of wings also akin to those of an eagle, a monster born from the combination of a lion and an eagle

At the same time

The griffon's magic transformed into a tornado, carrying with it an endless array of wind blades that began to swirl wildly around it

Bang

If it were an ordinary person, under the frenzied gusts of this tornado, they would surely be immediately swept off the griffin and then shredded into mincemeat by the forces within the tornado

Once the griffin stabilized its form and flapped its wings, flying steadily in mid-air once again, it immediately noticed something unusual about itself

In the high sky, the griffin, flying leisurely, was startled by a sudden loud noise, and then it saw a figure shooting towards it like a sharp arrow

A person and a beast swiftly flew towards the outskirts of the forest

Therefore, even in the previous life, the griffin was a quite famous mythical creature, and in this other world, it is equally a presence that should not be underestimated

Thus, a tornado appeared on the griffin.

Good

Bang

After some contemplation, the decisive and exceptionally adaptable Xien no longer hesitated

Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!

"Screech!"

At this moment, a look of realization appeared in Sien's eyes as he placed one hand on the back of the griffin and began to channel his own magical power into it

Thus, not only was Xien not blown away by the tornado, but he also instantly clamped his legs tightly around the body of the griffin with all his strength. His hands, gripping the fur on the griffin's neck, exerted maximum effort, and his body immediately lowered as he fully committed to resisting the power of the tornado

"Screech!"

Shien, with one hand tightly gripping the holy sword and the other firmly grasping the griffin's fur, laughed as he sat astride the griffin's back

Be honest with me

However, Xien remained steadily mounted on the griffin, completely unscathed

The next second

Xien is indeed contemplating such an idea

Moreover, the more they fought, the more keenly Xien felt the urge to act.

With a thunderous explosion, Xien shattered the ground beneath his feet, stirring up a powerful gust of wind filled with thick dust, soaring into the sky like a rocket.

Shien's expression changed suddenly, and he instinctively clutched the fur on the griffon's neck tightly

How? Do you still want it?" Xien smiled and said to the griffin beneath him, "If you are willing to take me away from this forest to the nearest town, then I will satisfy you.

This griffin does not seem to have appeared here because it has discovered prey, but rather as if it is merely passing by, flying quite leisurely, completely unaware that it has already been targeted by someone.

The griffin is a widely recognized formidable creature, possessing the bravery and strength of a lion, as well as the speed and wings of an eagle, making this creature comparable to, and even surpassing, that of a dragon.

If I could ride on that griffin, I should be able to fly out of this forest all the way, right

Succeeded

When such messages flooded his mind, Xien had not yet made a choice, and the griffin beneath him finally reacted

Suddenly, the already tattered clothing on Xien was continuously torn and shredded by the tornado

It is not that Xien has not encountered flying-type monsters during this period; rather, those monsters are either too small in size, making them unsuitable for riding, or they are of bizarre shapes, rendering it impossible to mount them

Only this griffin, riding on its back, poses no problems at all

Immediately afterward, Xien performed a squat, channeling all his strength into his feet

The griffin, which had just been enraged due to pain, suddenly emitted a sound of apparent comfort, and its struggles also weakened.

On the back of the griffin, at an unknown time, a figure had landed upon it

That is a rather famous magical creature—a griffin

Transition (Evolve)

At this moment, Xien directly activated the skill "Extreme Transformation," allowing the magical power to circulate rapidly within his body, transforming into strength and granting him a superhuman physique

As they progressed, Xien maintained a firm grip on the griffin while raising his hand that held the holy sword high, reversing his grip on the sword and striking the griffin's head forcefully with the hilt.

However, Xien learned the newly acquired Riding skill at the fastest speed without any pause, directly leveling it up to the maximum level, thereby attaining the highest level of riding technique

Not long after, a muffled sound echoed through the high sky above the forest

Unfortunately, Xien is like a highly skilled rider, firmly maintaining control on the back of the griffin, occasionally adjusting his position, shifting his strength, lowering his body, and then straightening his back, perfectly mastering the centrifugal force and sense of balance

Sien gazed at the griffin flying overhead.

Amidst the sound of muffled strikes, the griffin let out a painful groan

At this moment, a dark shadow is leisurely gliding above the forest

"Acquire Skill - [Taming] - Do you wish to learn?"

The tornado generated by the griffon's body carried astonishing power, striking Xi'en.

The direction is precisely aligned with oneself

Xien possesses two fully leveled skills: Physical Resistance and Magical Resistance, and with the protection of the Holy Sword, it is naturally impossible for him to be ground into minced meat. However, being blown off the griffon's back is also inevitable.

This magic is gradually infused into the body of the griffin at a specific frequency and flowing path

Upon realizing this, the griffin let out an extremely angry cry, beginning to fly wildly, spinning, leaping, and swooping back and forth in mid-air, attempting to shake off Xien.

Shien was momentarily taken aback, but then immediately began to practice this newly acquired skill, subsequently leveling it up to its maximum.

It was difficult for Xi'en to hide his joy any longer.

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the griffin has completely ceased its struggles, no longer resisting Shien's riding. Instead, it continuously calls out to Shien, seemingly wanting him to continue infusing it with magical power.

If one wishes to leave this forest as soon as possible, this is already the best method that Xi'en can think of

Thanks to the effect of the fully leveled "War God" skill, Xien, who can perfectly control his own body, effortlessly concentrated all his strength in his feet

Upon hearing this, the griffin let out a few calls, as if acknowledging receipt, and with a powerful flap of its wings, it soared off in one direction

In these ten days, apart from the fearsome bird with a human face and snake body encountered at the beginning, this griffin is the most suitable flying magical creature for riding that Xien has encountered.

"Screech!"
