"It was a seven-meter tall orc, but the hair all over its body was bronze."
Looking at Athir in front of him, Mokla said with a gloomy face: "This orc is very powerful. According to Kosis, he was patrolling outside the city with a few knights and hundreds of elite warriors besides him. In the end, they were all killed by the enemy, leaving Kosis alone, who escaped with serious injuries."
"According to Kosis's previous description, this bronze orc is not only extremely powerful, but also seems to be in a state of rage. No matter whether it is an orc or a human, all of them will be torn apart by this bronze orc if they come into contact with it."
"Bronze orc."
Hearing what Mokla said, Athir was stunned at first. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "So what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"Gather our strength and kill this bronze orc!" Looking at Athir, Mokla said in a decisive tone.
"This orc is outside the city right now. It has just blocked an important trade route between Gukai City and other cities. It keeps wandering around there and kills anyone it sees!"
"In just a few days, several caravans have been killed by this monster. If this continues, who will dare to go to our Ancient Armor City?"
He looked at Athir and began to explain, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy when he mentioned the caravan.
Gukai City is located in a remote area, belonging to the marginal area of the Gumodo Kingdom. It is surrounded by barren land and restless orcs. It cannot even provide food and weapons on its own. The whole city is completely supported by orc slaves and a few special products such as furs.
Once foreign caravans no longer dare to come to the city to do business, then in a short period of time, Gukai City will inevitably suffer heavy losses. This shows the seriousness of the matter.
Hearing this, Athir frowned secretly.
This bronze orc was undoubtedly extremely powerful, as he was able to get to Kothis and severely injure him under the protection of several knights and hundreds of elite warriors.
Although it is impossible to be comparable to a formal wizard, it is very likely that he has reached the level of a third-class apprentice. Even among the third-class apprentices, only powerful apprentices can have such strength.
"Athir..."
After a pause, Mokla organized his words and then advised: "I know you have been studying the blood of orcs, and for this purpose you have to purchase a large number of orc captives from us every month."
"This bronze orc is very powerful. It is an extremely rare mutant. Its bloodline is even stronger than that of the bloodthirsty orcs. It is definitely worth studying."
He looked at Athir and said, "As long as you are willing to help, I can decide after the matter is over and give you the body of the bronze orc."
The corpse of a powerful creature comparable to that of a third-class apprentice would be worth at least two hundred magic stones if it were sold on the black market. It would indeed be a good gain for a second-class apprentice.
Although Athir did not value this magic stone, he was indeed very interested in the bloodline of this bronze orc.
Moreover, he was also tasked with investigating the mutant orcs. Now that the other party had finally appeared, he naturally had to go and take a look.
So he pondered for a while, then nodded directly to show his agreement.
Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on Mokla's face. After chatting with Athir for a while, he hurried away, and it seemed that he was going to persuade other apprentices to join.
Looking at Mokla's hurriedly leaving figure, Atier shook his head, stood up and walked towards the laboratory deep in the manor.
According to Mokla's description, the bronze orc was obviously very difficult to deal with. Although Athir was not afraid, he still had to prepare some more means to be on the safe side.
A few days later, several apprentices gathered again in the city mansion.
What surprised Atier was that he didn't know what conditions Mokla had made, but among the apprentices in Gukai City, except for the usually taciturn Sid, all the other apprentices showed up.
After a while, in the city lord's mansion, Athir met Kosis.
The other party looked very miserable at this time, with white cloth wrapped all over his body. His face was very pale at this time. He barely said a few words to Athir and others, reminded them of some things, and then went back to recuperate. He looked seriously injured.
During this process, Athir also had the chip analyzed. In the end, he found that not only was Kosis seriously injured, but there were also traces of the life seed exploding, which made Athir feel awed.
After explaining some things, they set off quickly. In addition to several apprentices, there were also several knights, led by Mokla and a great knight.
They came to the wilderness outside the city and soon arrived at a village.
There, Athir saw some traces of the bronze orc.
It seemed like this place had just experienced a demolition. None of the surrounding buildings were intact. All of them had suffered severe damage and none of them were intact.
Under the massive amount of ruins, pale corpses were scattered everywhere, and they all seemed to be the original residents of the village.
Walking into the village, Athir looked around.
Dried red blood was scattered around. As he walked to the front, Athir also saw a corpse with half of its body bitten off, and a few bronze hairs.
"Unknown breath molecules detected... The proximity of bloodthirsty orcs is 79.4%, the proximity of Ashiga orcs is 76.7%..." In my mind, the chip machine's prompt sounded again.
"It is indeed a unique mutant..."
Looking at the few bronze hairs in his hand and the prompts from the chip in his mind, Athir's expression remained unchanged, he just looked aside quietly.
In the direction he was looking at, the surrounding buildings and trees seemed to have been hit by some huge monster. The remaining building materials and fallen trees were spread all over the ground, forming a unique long road.
"This is the place where the bronze orc was last seen. If I'm not mistaken, he should have left from this road."
Behind, Mokla rode his horse and slowly came to Athir's side. At this time, he looked at the road in the distance that was knocked out with a serious look in his eyes.
"Let's wait a little longer. As long as the other party is still around, they will eventually reveal their whereabouts after a while."
Looking into the distance, Athir's face was calm and he spoke quietly.
On the side, Mokla didn't say anything else, just nodded silently.
Half a month passed in a flash.
During this period of time, the bronze orc did not attack anyone again.
If he hadn't found traces of the other party from time to time around, Atier would have almost thought that the other party had left the area.
It was not until one morning, near a village by a stream, that the other party appeared again.
When Athir and others received the news and quickly rushed to the village from the camp, the bronze orc had already killed all the people in the village. He was now sitting quietly on a piece of ruins, chewing something in his mouth.
With his good eyesight, Athir clearly saw that the small half of the corpse in the other person's right hand had been bitten into pieces.
"this···"
Seeing this scene, the faces of several people present suddenly turned pale. In addition to anger, there was also a hint of fear.
The opponent's body is too huge.
Although the bloodthirsty orcs were also huge, they were only about three meters tall, about twice the height of an ordinary person. The bronze orc in front of him was seven meters tall, which was absolutely huge for an ordinary person.
With such a huge body, even if it didn't have any powerful special abilities, just one step could probably seriously injure a knight.
When he saw this orc, Athir's eyes also became extremely solemn.
"After comparing more than 300 text records and image records in the database, the probability of bronze Behemoth is 96.1%..."
In my mind, the mechanical prompt sound of the chip rang.
"Bronze Behemoth..." Standing in place, Athir's eyes looked a little solemn.
During the past six months, he had collected a lot of information about orcs in order to study their bloodlines, including some records about Bronze Behemoth.
Bronze Behemoth is an extremely rare bloodline creature that often appears as a companion creature of orcs. It can only be born when extremely harsh conditions are met.
This kind of creature is often short-lived and is only likely to be born in places where a large number of orcs gather. It rarely appears in the eyes of other people.
According to historical records, the power of the Bronze Behemoth is extremely strong. The height of an adult can reach more than ten meters. Once it erupts, it can even briefly compete with a formal wizard. It is an extremely terrifying bloodline creature.
However, what made Athir feel relieved was that this bronze behemoth had obviously not reached maturity yet. Although its body was very tall, it was obviously still some distance away from being an adult and had not reached its peak.
"Bronze Behemoth. Strength: 14.8. Agility: 10.7. Constitution: 15.7." Before his eyes, the opponent's physical data was quickly detected by the chip and accurately emerged.
"Terrible physical fitness. Even though he is still a minor, his physical strength exceeds mine."
Looking at the physical data appearing in front of him, Atier muttered to himself.
His physical data has already surpassed the limit of a great knight. According to his estimation, even if an ordinary apprentice reaches the level of a formal wizard, apart from magic power and mental power, his physical strength alone is probably only at his level.
Standing around Athir and looking at the bronze behemoth in the distance, everyone's faces became extremely solemn.
Although they did not recognize what kind of creature it was, it did not prevent them from understanding how terrifying it was. Its huge size alone was enough to scare people into submission.
But at this point, they had no choice but to hesitate, because in front of them, the tall bronze Behemoth had already stood up and was looking in the direction of Athir and the others.
As a startling roar sounded, in the distance, a huge bronze figure quickly rushed out from the ruins of the village.
