Chapter 35: What kind of Cow and Horse Summoning Technique is this!

When the two arrived at the shrine, it was already growing late. They didn’t immediately send the person off; instead, they went around finding a donkey cart and various foods and water for her, because she definitely couldn’t have walked out on her own.

They finally helped her to the Air Wall at the village entrance before heading back to look for Gu Shanhai. Of course, Heavenly Immortal drunkenly received his thanks, ensuring a future life of labor as a cow or horse.

He was still young now and didn’t feel much, but after experiencing this more often... he would get used to it.

"Could something have happened to him? His moves are so Evil Path, I’m afraid he might have screwed up." Huangen Haodang was also feeling a bit uneasy.

The more someone liked to play the Evil Path or show off with fancy moves, the easier it was for them to slip up. If they lost their strongest team member, the following challenges would become much harder.

Although they found Gu Shanhai to be very odd, they couldn’t deny that they relied on him for all sorts of trickery and traps along the way, something they couldn’t have managed themselves.

"It must be that he discovered something, then got into trouble," Huangen Haodang surmised, eyeing a pile of Spiritual Tablets and a large hole dug where the tablets had originally been stored.

So he suspected that this was Gu Shanhai’s doing; otherwise, who else could have done it?

After exploring the basement and returning, Heavenly Immortal drunkenly expressed his concern: "The Spiritual Tablets down there were also shattered; he must have done it. What should we do next?"

At this point, Heavenly Immortal drunkenly was out of plans. Normally, Gu Shanhai would have jumped out with some suggestions by now.

"Enter the mountain, find the village chief, and tell him that our boss is also missing."

"Figure out a way to lure those three Rat-men to the mountain as well."

Huangen Haodang actually had no clue either; he suspected that Gu Shanhai had uncovered some secret of the Mountain God, which led him to make such a drastic move and subsequently suffer an attack from the Mountain God.

Otherwise, with Gu Shanhai’s close combat skills, no villager could get close to him. Apart from that, his explosive abilities alone could have annihilated the villagers.

"This isn’t right, fog is rolling in," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly noted as he watched the fog sweep in from the horizon.

The fog seemed to surge down from the mountain, resembling an avalanche.

"What can your Summoning Skill call forth? How many times and for how long?" Huangen Haodang asked urgently, disregarding everything else.

"Two, a cow and a horse, only once, lasting for five minutes. It’s 500% of all my attributes, but the species is random," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly confessed without hiding anything.

"Isn’t it supposed to be just cows and horses? How does it turn out random?" Huangen Haodang was puzzled.

"It’s about the upper and lower limits; it could summon Oxhead and Horseface, but also a worn-out horse and an old cow. The skills and talents on these two differ like heaven and earth," Heavenly Immortal drunkenly explained, also rather helpless.

"Don’t you have any summon enhancement skills? What’s the use of just five minutes; no wonder you hardly ever summon," Huangen Haodang was speechless.

"I did, and this is even after amplifying the summon. Due to my talent reasons, I can’t learn other Summoning Skills or non-summon related skills, only able to summon cows and horses. I’m practically becoming a Cow and Horse Summoner."

"This is my first time trying an intermediate instance. Back when I was in beginner instances, five minutes was enough."

Heavenly Immortal drunkenly was numb. Up till now, he could only randomly summon Oxhead and Horseface for a killing spree; the rest were mostly just a bunch of wronged cows and horses.

Luckily, Gu Shanhai didn’t know how thrilling Heavenly Immortal drunkenly’s Summoning Skill was; otherwise, he definitely would have forced him to summon just to see.

"Damn, I thought your depleting shield was bizarre enough, but your Summoning Skill is even more bizarre. It’s my first time hearing about a random summon of cows and horses," Huangen Haodang could hardly keep it together this time.

Normally, a Summoning Skill would have a specific summon target, and neither the duration nor the number of times could match Heavenly Immortal drunkenly’s Cow and Horse Summoning Skill.

Even better ones usually don’t have a time limit or number limit, existing as hefty as their summoners or won’t die unless the summoner does.

"However, your attribute boost is indeed very high, ten times higher than typical summons. That’s probably what led to this," Huangen Haodang quickly understood.

Typical summons are usually 50% of the summoner’s attributes, so although intimidating in appearance, they’re nearly ineffective without extra skill amplifications, considering how high summoner’s attributes can be. Hence, most summons rely on stacking various summon-related skills.

"That’s true; if I applied all my summon-type amplification skills, my attributes could reach about 700% of my own. My talent can further boost attribute-related skills but cuts down the time and number of summons if not for the forced specification of the summoning technique, I could have been a great summoner."

The two left the shrine, chatting as they walked.

Considering the situation had become very dangerous, naturally, they needed to think of ways to complete the main quest quickly.

"That high?"
