Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 177: Scales Turned Upside Down_1

"Is the investigation all done?"

"Woo~"

"Okay, let’s go."

After placing the last book back in its place, Feng Yuan called out to Xiao Ji, who was playing with the Dreaming Dragon Baby next to him. Xiao Ji leaped onto Feng Yuan’s head and looked around while the Dreaming Dragon Baby coiled up on Feng Yuan’s shoulder and closed its eyes to rest. Taking the Spirit Beasts with him, Feng Yuan left the library and, gazing at the setting sun, said

"Should we go straight back or find somewhere to eat?"

"Argh!"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby raised its head and looked around. Just as Feng Yuan thought the Dreaming Dragon Baby wanted to eat something, a pitch-black Energy Sphere smashed their way. Agunas waved his pen, and a transparent barrier blocked the attack. At that moment, Feng Yuan felt a lightness on his head. A sleek, pitch-black Cat-Type Spirit Beast snatched Xiao Ji from in front of Feng Yuan and ran off.

"Courting death!"

Xiao Ji seemed to be restricted by the attacker’s control technique, his eyes closed, letting the cat carry him away. The Dreaming Dragon Baby quickly charged forward and spewed fire at the opponent. Suddenly, a semi-transparent net appeared, wrapping around the Dreaming Dragon Baby, and a black ghostly Spirit Beast suddenly appeared and picked up the netted Dreaming Dragon Baby.

"Damn it!"

Captain Chen suddenly rushed out and cursed under his breath, while Feng Yuan, suppressing his rage, asked

"What’s going on here?"

"We received information that the Spirit Beast robbers from the Shadow Demon Gang were lurking around this area. We didn’t expect they would target your Spirit Beasts!"

"They’re seeking death!"

Enraged, Feng Yuan realized he indeed could not sense Xiao Ji’s location. He pulled out an ancient-looking black book with an eerie aura and tossed it to Agunas, saying

"Use this! Don’t hold back, open the Domain directly!"

Agunas took the ancient book and hesitated for a moment. Seeing Feng Yuan’s determined stance, Agunas sighed and opened the book under Captain Chen’s puzzled gaze.

"Haha~ This marvelous Eggshell Chicken is now mine~ And there’s even a bonus Dreaming Dragon Baby. What a big score this time~"

In a room, a frail-looking young man laughed upon seeing Xiao Ji carried by the black cat. Beside him, a seductive woman glanced at the struggling Dreaming Dragon Baby in the net and said

"Now that we’ve got them, let’s hurry and leave. They say that man’s methods are quite extraordinary. It would be bad if he caught up to us."

"Right, right, right—let’s hurry."

A burly man nearby agreed. Just as the young man was about to say something while picking up the net, the outside suddenly plunged into darkness. The evening glow was devoured by profound darkness, and the streetlights that lit up couldn’t illuminate the entire street. The light seemed trapped in quicksand, barely lighting up a small area beneath each lamp.

"Who the hell is messing around this time!"

Outside Maomu City, Captain Yan, who had a brief encounter with Feng Yuan, cursed loudly while looking at the pitch-black Barrier that shrouded Maomu City.

"What...what is this...!"

Seeing the changes around him, Captain Chen asked in amazement. Feng Yuan sneered and said

"Let’s see if we can find Xiao Ji. If we can’t, then we’ll expand the range again!"

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and muttered something to the ancient book. A multitude of shadows flew out from the book and spread in every direction. Realizing what was happening, Captain Chen grabbed Feng Yuan’s collar and berated him

"What are you doing! Do you have any idea how much chaos this will cause!"

Feng Yuan looked at Captain Chen calmly and said

"All I know is that Xiao Ji has been abducted. What do the other things have to do with me?"

Slapping Feng Yuan across the face, Captain Chen said angrily

"What do you mean, ’what does it have to do with you’! You’re completely disregarding the lives of others!"

Feng Yuan glanced at Captain Chen but said nothing, instead turning his gaze to Agunas. Then, a Spirit Beast resembling a cartoon girl doll rushed out, waved her hand, and several large water spouts appeared from nowhere and shot towards Agunas. Agunas calmly waved the pen in his hand, and identical water spouts materialized, colliding with those, amidst the mist of water, Feng Yuan said coldly

"Yu Xian’er, you can’t handle this."

Yu Xian’er glanced at Feng Yuan, then at the angry Captain Chen. Feng Yuan nodded at Agunas, and a multitude of pitch-black tendrils burst from the ground, creating a barrier between Feng Yuan, Captain Chen, and Yu Xian’er. Peering through the gaps in the tendrils at the departing figures of Feng Yuan and Agunas, followed closely by Big Cat, Yu Xian’er couldn’t help but yell out, and Captain Chen roared in anger.

"Feng Yuan! Get back here! Put away this damned thing of yours!"

Cursing, Chen Team watched as Feng Yuan ignored him and walked away. With no hesitation, he drew out his cell phone in an attempt to make a call but, seeing that there was no signal, he cursed under his breath and had to communicate with Yu Xian’er to find a solution.

"What’s going on?"

Surprised at the sudden appearance of the Wolf Tooth necklace around his neck glowing faintly, Qi Chen walked to the window. Realizing the darkness outside, he urgently ran out of the room just as Qi Xiaoshuang was rushing out the door. Seeing the glowing necklace around Qi Chen’s neck, she exclaimed,

"Brother! Something’s happened again!"

"What happened?"

Hearing Qi Xiaoshuang’s shout, Qi Chen’s mother walked out of the kitchen puzzled and asked. Qi Xiaoshuang pointed at the window and shouted loudly,

"Mom, look outside!"

"What is this!"

Seeing the engulfing darkness outside, Qi Chen’s mother rushed in front of the two, grabbing them and summoning her Spirit Beast to be on guard. Still uneasy, she pulled out her phone to make a call, but upon seeing there was no signal, suppressed the fear in her heart and said,

"Stay close to me and be careful. Shout if something doesn’t seem right."

Nodding and staring at the pitch-black window, Qi Chen whispered,

"What’s happened now... If that guy were here, at least we could understand what’s going on."

Sensing something ominous, Najia anxiously looked outside. After a moment’s hesitation, she made up her mind, ran out from the balcony, and disappeared into the darkness.

Surrounded by darkness and walking on the street, Teacher Yan helplessly had Big Black spread out the Rune Stone Barrier and sent Xiao Tong to keep watch. Seeing that the light couldn’t penetrate the strange darkness, Teacher Yan sighed softly and mused,

"I hope that guy’s alright... I hope this isn’t targeting him... "

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just got startled by Cotton, Mom. You carry on with your work."

"You and your scare easily," the middle-aged woman laughed, shaking her head as she turned back to the kitchen and muttered,

"Why is the light getting dim? Looks like it’s about to burn out again... sigh..."

Peeking through a corner of the curtain at the pitch blackness outside, Dou Yanlan’s hands trembled while holding Cotton.

"What in the world is this!"

"An attack? Perfect, the cops will be too busy with the incident to pay attention to us."

"Xiao Ying, can’t you teleport us anymore? I still don’t feel safe here," said the trio in conversation, with the young man addressing the shadowy Spirit Beast. Seeing it shake its head, the young man looked outside, somewhat helplessly, and said,

"Maomu City is really cursed. So many vicious attacks in just a few months."

"Forget about it, let’s think about where we can go have fun after this~"

Speaking seductively, the woman put a hand on the young man’s shoulder as the three of them smugly discussed what to do after they had successfully escaped.

"Haven’t found it yet?!"

Feng Yuan glared ferociously ahead as he spoke; Agunas hesitated for a moment before nodding. Feng Yuan, growing impatient, commanded,

"Open the City of the Dead!"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. Feng Yuan roared, almost insanely,

"If you don’t want me to resort to even more drastic measures, do as I say!"

Sensing Feng Yuan’s rage, Agunas hesitated then, with reluctance, began murmuring a low incantation. The darkness slowly receded, and the black Barrier shrouding Maomu City disappeared into the night. As the Barrier faded, Captain Yan didn’t breathe a sigh of relief; instead, he cursed at the sight of the immense city that suddenly appeared above Maomu City,

"What the hell is this monstrosity!"fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
