Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 162 Accident_1

Following the narrow corridor, Feng Yuan and Captain Chen made their way down to the basement. Xiao Ji lay vigilantly atop Feng Yuan’s head, scanning the surroundings, while the Dreaming Dragon Baby clung to his shoulder with a fireball in its mouth, seemingly ready to act at any moment. Seeing the metal door, Captain Chen stepped forward and gently pushed it open to find a metal passageway behind it. Turning to Feng Yuan, Captain Chen said,

"Would you mind waiting here for me?"

Drawing his greatsword, Feng Yuan made a motion in the air in front of Captain Chen and said with a smile,

"I think it’s actually safer for me to come along."

Remembering Feng Yuan’s terrifying Ice Seal move from earlier, Captain Chen found himself at a loss for words. When he saw Captain Chen about to step into the metal passageway, Feng Yuan hurriedly said,

"All your main combat spirit beasts have lost their fighting ability, haven’t they? It’s better if you don’t go first right now."

Pointing to the Spirit Leaf Fox, Xiao Hua, in front, Captain Chen said,

"I still have it, and as someone tasked with protecting civilians, I can’t hide behind those who need protection."

Seeing Captain Chen’s determination, Feng Yuan sighed and said no more, following him into the metal passageway. Along the way, they encountered no mishaps, but after a while, they heard the sounds of intense combat ahead. Feng Yuan felt puzzled, and Captain Chen’s expression changed as he whispered to Feng Yuan,

"Be careful!"

Nodding, they carefully made their way forward, and through the blasted-open metal door, Feng Yuan saw a spacious underground research facility with walls made of unknown alloys, and various pieces of equipment wreckage scattered around. Captain Yang and his spirit beast were launching a frenzied attack on a woman, with the righteous bluebird and Xiao Tong angrily assaulting her as well.

Surprised by Captain Yang’s frenzied state, Captain Chen was taken aback. Feng Yuan noticed Teachers Yan and Mu inside a Rune Stone Barrier and pulled Captain Chen with him to carefully avoid the attacks and rushed to the side of the barrier.

Inside the barrier, Teacher Mu hugged a little girl who was on her last breath, crying in pain. A brown giant spirit fruit was shaking its plump body, using the Healing Light technique, seemingly trying to heal the little girl. Teacher Yan, noticing the two men outside the barrier, made a gesture to Big Black to let them in. As soon as they entered the barrier, Teacher Yan exclaimed in a stern voice,

"What are you doing here!"

Captain Chen quickly explained what had happened outside, to which Teacher Yan said in surprise,

"I didn’t expect there to be accomplices."

"What’s happened here?"

Looking at the little girl who was struggling to survive, Feng Yuan was puzzled. Xiao Ji jumped off Feng Yuan’s head and ran to the girl’s side. The Fluffy Dog watched Xiao Ji warily, but seeing that Xiao Ji made no strange moves, it sadly nuzzled the girl with its head. Teacher Yan sighed and pulled the two men aside to speak in a low voice,

"When we arrived, that person was about to extract the Fluffy Dog’s power. Then Xiao Ling rushed out, hit the Fluffy Dog, and then..."

"It ended up on her, didn’t it..."

Feng Yuan sighed, looking outside the barrier. Though Captain Yang was restraining himself from killing the opponent, after enduring many techniques, she was covered in wounds and blood was flowing from her body. Noticing that Feng Yuan and Captain Chen had come in, Captain Yang stopped pursuing the woman, subdued her with a few moves, knocking her unconscious and dragging her over, and said coldly to the two of them,

"What are you doing here!"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, who pretended to admire the scenery, Captain Chen quickly stepped up to explain. Captain Yang, with a fierce glint in his eyes, asked,

"There’s another accomplice? Did Xiao Gu come too?"

As Captain Chen nodded, looking at Xiao Ling in Teacher Mu’s arms, Captain Yang’s expression softened for once. He reached out and gently touched Xiao Ling before murmuring to the giant spirit fruit that was still insistently using Healing Light,

"Stop it... Healing Light can’t do anything for someone whose life force is drained..."

The giant spirit fruit shook its body at Captain Yang but continued to use Healing Light stubbornly. With his hand on Teacher Mu’s shoulder, Captain Yang opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything. Teacher Yan had an idea and said to Feng Yuan,

"Can you find Nagna now? If you can bring Nagna here..."

Reminded by Teacher Yan, Teacher Mu looked at Feng Yuan with hope. Xiao Ji closed its eyes for a moment and then shook its head at Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji and said,

"It’s not here now, how can you contact it..."

"Ji..."

Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Ling with a sad expression. The Dreaming Dragon Baby lay quietly on Feng Yuan’s shoulder watching everything. Teacher Mu, holding Xiao Ling in one hand, grasped Feng Yuan’s sleeve with the other, her voice filled with tears as she pleaded,

"Do you know where it is? Can you take me to find it? Please..."

Feng Yuan sighed and looked at Xiao Ling, whose energy was fading, and said

"If we really try to find it now, it’ll be too late. She can’t hold on much longer..."

As Xiao Ling burst into tears, Captain Yang glared fiercely at the unconscious woman. Feng Yuan, feeling helpless, said

"I didn’t say it couldn’t be saved. Forget it."

Feng Yuan pulled out his Greatsword, muttered something under his breath, and once again, the pattern on his Wolf God’s Robe emitted a white light. The three people watched him with confusion. After a moment, as Captain Yang studied Feng Yuan’s actions, a rainbow light shower followed Feng Yuan’s motion and fell upon Xiao Ling.

"What is this!"

Both Captain Chen and the teacher exclaimed in surprise, while Captain Yang silently breathed a sigh of relief. As the rainbow light shower fell, Xiao Ling’s vital energy gradually stabilized. After a while, the rainbow light shower disappeared, and Feng Yuan collapsed onto the ground, hugging Xiao Ji who had leapt into his arms, and said

"This is all I can do for now. Though there shouldn’t be a problem in the short term, it would still be better to get Nagna to give her a thorough treatment."

"Short term?"

The joyful expression on the teacher’s face slowly faded, and Feng Yuan sighed and said

"Rain of Life can replenish most of the drained life force, but there are some potentials that cannot be restored. Those can only be addressed by Nagna using Life Bloom, or Kannasis would work too. Life Bloom can be used by any Life-series Divine Beast."

"Are you okay?"

Seeing that Feng Yuan remained seated on the ground, the teacher asked, somewhat embarrassed. Feng Yuan just shook his head with a smile. Meanwhile, Captain Yang, with hatred in his eyes, grabbed the woman’s collar and stepped out of the Barrier, saying fiercely

"I’ll take this bastard out first!"

The teacher asked Big Black to dismantle the Rune Stone Barrier and was about to help Feng Yuan stand up, when suddenly Feng Yuan was yanked back forcefully and the Dreaming Dragon Baby on his shoulder was flung away. Feeling the hand at his neck, which could easily break it at any moment, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"It seems there’s another accomplice~"

Everyone, including Captain Yang, stared vigilantly at the middle-aged man who had appeared out of nowhere. Xiao Ji, who was held in Feng Yuan’s arms, wanted to make a move, but hesitated seeing the hand on Feng Yuan’s neck and dared not act. Captain Chen aggressively said to the man,

"Let him go!"

"Hahaha, after finally capturing such important material, do you think I’ll let go?"

As the man spoke, a dark Space Gate appeared behind him. Captain Chen inwardly cursed their situation, feeling the presence of Power of Death coming from behind them. Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"Nether Gate? You’re indeed decisive."

"Heh, of course. With the egg of a Divine Beast and a human who possesses the Power of Death, even if you take down the Maomu City base, what difference will it make to me~"

"Is that so~"

Feng Yuan’s face showed a mysterious smile, and the middle-aged man, wary, tightened his grip on Feng Yuan’s neck to ward off the Dreaming Dragon Baby that was trying to bite him, saying

"Don’t try any tricks! I know you have many up your sleeve, but you’re weakened now, and I don’t believe you can pull off any more stunts!"

Although saying this, the man quickly retreated backward. As he was about to enter the Nether Gate, Captain Yang gritted his teeth, ready to command Bai Mao to launch a forceful attack. Feng Yuan, laughing softly, said,

"You might be decisive, but you were at a disadvantage from the start~"

"The mere fact that I dare to do this means I have other ways to ensure my safety~ like... Xiao Ji~"

The man’s expression changed; he reached out and swatted Xiao Ji away from Feng Yuan’s arms. Feng Yuan said in a low voice with a smile,

"Future... Incarnate..."

A Black Giant Bird enveloped in ethereal blue flames appeared in the underground space, its bloodthirsty eyes intently focused on the middle-aged man.
