His Magic Medium Ring allowed Mo Fan to keep expanding the capacity of the Summoning Gate with high-level Soul Remnants.That capacity was very high now!
However, was Summoning the wolves going to make a difference under the circumstances?
Similar wolves were commonly found in the mountains and the wild. They would not be at their best in these wet forests with dense trees.
Their size and skins were different from the Savage Bulls. They would only end up injuring themselves if they tried to force their way through the walls of thorny shrubs.
It would only work if all the wolves were as strong as the Moon-Devouring White Wolves or the Flying Creek Snow Wolf!
“Mo Fan, can you only Summon wolves?” Zhao Manyan asked gingerly.
Mo Fan nodded.He had learned the spell Summoning Tide a long time ago, yet he had rarely Summoned species other than wolves.
The main reason was that the pack of wolves he usually Summoned was stronger and easier to control. A general preferred to lead the division he had trained personally, instead of taking over someone else’s division!
“Is there any chance you can Summon creatures with hard shells, like the Savage Bulls? It would be more effective against the walls,” Mu Bai suggested.
“I’ll give it a try,” Mo Fan said.
The Summoning Element had many branches. Mo Fan was just a typical Summoner who had progressed from Dimensional Summoning to Contract Summoning, and finally learned the Summoning Tide. Other Summoners might have chosen a different path.
Mo Fan’s Summoning Element was very straightforward.
His Dimensional Summoning was the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
He had two Contracted Beasts, Little Flame Belle and Little Medusa.
For some reason, other Summoners’ Contracted Beasts were usually bulky and intimidating, with the power to destroy mountains and fill up the oceans.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan’s Contracted Beasts acted like spoiled children.
Little Flame Belle was the kind who would not bother fighting enemies that were too weak for her.
Little Medusa was even worse. Mo Fan could count the number of times she had been involved in a fight with a single hand, even though she had been around for so long.
Mo Fan’s Summoning Tide had only Summoned the same pack of wolves since the beginning.
Mo Fan had to admit that he had placed too little attention on the Summoning Element. He had almost forgotten about the old wolf, even though he was already an Advancing Commander-level Creature!
—
Mo Fan was not going to Summon the wolves this time.
He needed huge creatures with sturdy hides. He had to find a quiet spot and visit the Summoned Beast Plane to filter out some suitable candidates.
He had some time to spare, since no one was going to move until they figured out a way to get rid of the walls.
He found a nice spot and sat down.
The Dimensional Summoning and Summoning Tide were able to Summon random creatures from the Summoned Beast Plane. The species that was Summoned solely depended on the Summoner’s luck.
Many Summoners would even take a shower and relax for a while before Summoning a species for the first time. Mo Fan was being quite casual about it.
“Gate of the Summoned Beast Plane, open!”
Mo Fan quickly swept his finger in the air and pretended like he was good at it, yet he had no clue if it was of any use.
Mo Fan’s consciousness drifted into the Summoned Beast Plane. His eyes remained closed, yet he could see mountains and a vast land in his mind.
The Summoned Beast Plane was poor in resources compared to the mortal world. The creatures here often fought one another fiercely, just to claim a tiny area for their territory.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf used to live a precarious life. He had to fight every day and hide inside caves to lick his wounds.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf’s life had become a lot more stable after he achieved the Commander-level and gained his own great pack. He had basically bought a house in the Summoned Beast Plane.
Strength was the main reason why Summoned Beasts were willing to cooperate with Summoners!
Signing a contract with humans was like a government official signing a contract with their company to secure their employment after their term of service was up!
——
Mo Fan’s consciousness flew swiftly past the mountains and rivers. It was like a divine soul, surfing through this land.
Mo Fan purposely traveled a great distance to find the ideal Summoned Beasts.
After crossing a range of mountains, he finally arrived at a relatively flat valley.
The valley mainly consisted of rocks and sand, but Mo Fan was dazzled by the number of beasts that were running through the valley. He felt like he had arrived at a boundless ranch filled with livestock!
“Heavy-Armored Rhinoceros? Their skin is thick enough, but their legs are too short. The plants can easily trip them.”
Mo Fan did not choose the Heavy-Armored Rhinoceros when he took the soil around the enemy’s base into consideration.
“Sandy Ostrich Beasts?… They might have long legs, but their feathers aren’t tough enough.”
Mo Fan rubbed his chin as he worked through the Beasts in the valley. He only had time to choose the species he wanted to Summon when he was not fighting.
If he was in the middle of a fight, the system would choose the Summoned Beasts itself, and it would all come down to luck.
That being said, he still needed some luck to stumble into the ideal species he was looking for in the Summoned Beast Plane.
The ground started shaking vigorously all of a sudden. Mo Fan heard loud movements and noticed dust rolling behind him, as if a sandstorm had appeared. It had spread across the horizon.
“What kind of creatures could they be?” Mo Fan immediately flew into the wave of dust.
He saw huge figures sweeping past him inside the sandstorm. They rammed straight into the boulders that were in their way and smashed them into pieces!
“Frost Mammoths!” Mo Fan exclaimed.
These mighty mammoths had incredible tusks that were even longer than those of a huge wild boar. Their skin was also covered in frost and as tough as hundred-year-old ice. The thorny shrubs were not going to inflict any damage on them.
Although they were not necessarily good in combat, their massive size and outstanding strength were perfect for the Federation Army. They just needed to clear the barricades away for the Federation Army!
These Frost Mammoths were exactly what Mo Fan was looking for!
“These Frozen Mammoths will do!” Mo Fan declared.
As soon as he finished the sentence, a few bulkier figures dashed out of the sandstorm behind the Frost Mammoths.
They almost shattered Mo Fan’s consciousness into pieces when they nearly ran him over.
Mo Fan caught a glimpse of one of the creatures as they crossed paths. It had a long muzzle, like a huge alligator with intimidating fangs, and its eyes were like a pair of spotlights on a stage.
The creature was a couple of times bigger than the Frost Mammoths. Most terrifyingly, it simply lowered its head and bit down on a Frost Mammoth, then easily tossed it into the sky!
