Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1915 - 1916: Treasures

The surface of the Molten Rock in the center of the hall had a strange red glow flowing over it. Under the influence of the red light, what was clearly just a very ordinary rock seemed to have an extra glossy and smooth texture.

As Feng Yuan and the others moved, the red light unfolded like a flowing flame, emitting a mesmerizing brilliance. However, this visual deception was of little use to Feng Yuan.

Under the perception of divine sense, the rock looked so ordinary. However, inside it, Feng Yuan could perceive a massive, scorching power lurking within. Although this power was dormant, Feng Yuan understood that once its structure was damaged, the entire Molten Rock could instantly turn into a troublesome bomb.

He didn’t expect the Treasure Pavilion to actually display such a thing. This Molten Rock was obviously something Yognot had recently acquired, as the flowing fire on the rock hadn’t completely solidified.

The fiery flame’s glow would distort when passing through the area with flowing fire, visually making it seem as if the flames were jumping.

"They’re really bold, displaying something like this. Aren’t they afraid someone might try to steal it?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Gazing at the Molten Rock, Feng Yuan said in surprise. Even Qi Chen beside him furrowed his brow. Although the Molten Rock was a special product of Yognot, because of its special effect on Fire-Attribute Spirit Beasts, its price was not low. At times, the Molten Rock could even be used as a trade item equivalent.

Placing such an item here, aren’t they really afraid of any mishaps? You know, the Molten Rock at the Maomu Geological Museum is strictly guarded, unlike this place where it’s just casually displayed.

"Could it be that Molten Rocks are easily obtained for them?"

Thinking of some of Feng Yuan’s habits, Dou Yanlan speculated that they might not know the relationship between the Molten Rock and Yognot, after all, the stuff isn’t only produced in the Cha Mu Town area.

"If you have to say, it kind of is that way, especially since it is related to Yognot. However, it’s not quite right to just put it out like that."

Feng Yuan said while rubbing his chin, causing Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen to be taken aback and look at Feng Yuan in confusion. Qi Chen asked

"Is this... related to Yognot?"

"Yeah, this thing is a product of the conflict rules, it’s related to Yognot."

"But... hasn’t this been found in other places too?"

Qi Chen tried to recall, not sure. In his memory, Molten Rocks weren’t only found in the Divine Land Region; there were excavation records even in places like Omeilia.

Could Yognot have been to so many places? But how is that possible?

"World rules aren’t only present around Yognot, just that due to Yognot’s existence, the corresponding rule conflicts are rarer. Wherever rules corresponding to it appear, there could be Molten Rocks."

Feng Yuan casually said while looking at the Molten Rock, saying

"This is also why Molten Rocks can significantly boost the potential of Fire-Attribute Spirit Beasts. After all, this thing inherently contains traces of rules, naturally bringing incredible effects."

"So to them, it might not be considered a particularly valuable item, but... using it privately is one thing; displaying it publicly... can they really protect it?"

Observing the Molten Rock, Feng Yuan said with confusion. This Molten Rock was obviously carefully selected; otherwise, its appearance wouldn’t be so beautiful, as if one could vaguely see the shadow of a dragon entwining it.

Although the Molten Rock is insignificant to Yognot, it can’t control the Molten Rock’s appearance either. This beautiful Molten Rock just sitting here would easily attract oblivious petty thieves.

The danger might not be significant, considering that experienced Beastmasters know about Yognot’s situation and naturally understand that if they really want this item, dealing with He Nanqing is a better choice than trying to snatch it here.

But this doesn’t mean uninformed small-time thieves wouldn’t try targeting it. After all, the connection between Molten Rocks and Yognot isn’t something everyone knows.

Feng Yuan didn’t believe they had the capability to stop those small-time thieves, even if Special Duty Team members occasionally patrolled.

"Perhaps they can, didn’t expect Drudgeon’s methods to be so devious~"

Sitting on her Rainbow Bubbles, Veronia observed the Molten Rock and said. Feng Yuan, due to not inspecting closely, hadn’t noticed the traps set by Drudgeon. After all, as a Divine Beast handling lost knowledge, its methods would differ from typical anti-theft measures.

"Did Drudgeon lay traps here?"

Hearing Veronia’s words, Feng Yuan surveyed the surroundings in surprise. He genuinely didn’t expect traps from Drudgeon in this place, as making such effort seemed somewhat excessive to him.

But thinking about Drudgeon’s relationship with Yognot, Feng Yuan felt that such a move might not be too strange.

"No warnings; it’s such a nasty joke."

Glancing around, Veronia said. This place didn’t have anyone guarding it, and without a warning sign, Veronia seriously doubted if they were baiting, as such actions seemed like luring others to claim the Molten Rock.

"There are cameras, but no warnings, it indeed doesn’t make much sense."

Dou Yanlan glanced at the surveillance in the corner of the hall and said. This place indeed gave them a feeling of being baited.

"Hey, hey! Excuse me, please don’t get too close to that Molten Rock!"

Just then, a sudden shout came from behind. As Feng Yuan turned around, he saw a woman dressed in a light blue work vest and a short skirt quickly approaching them.

Unfortunately, her high heels didn’t seem to fit very well. Stepping back a few paces, Feng Yuan curiously eyed her and asked

"Who are you?"

"I’m so sorry, sorry. This should’ve been my turn to be on duty with Xiao Xiao, but she had an emergency and took leave. Um, please don’t get too close to our exhibits... it’s not that we think you’re bad people, but our exhibits have protective measures. If they’re accidentally triggered, it could be troublesome."

The woman bowed deeply to Feng Yuan and the others and said somewhat incoherently, as Tamur circled around her, which startled her even more.

Dragon-shaped Spirit Beasts are rare, especially ones that resemble powerful Eastern dragons like Tamur. Being stared at by such a Spirit Beast, she indeed feared the possibility of sudden aggression.

After all, dragon-type Spirit Beasts are almost never weak, and she didn’t think she could withstand an attack from a dragon-type Spirit Beast.

"Um... it doesn’t mean anything else; you don’t need to be nervous."

Noticing the woman frozen stiff, Feng Yuan awkwardly reassured. He knew well that Tamur meant no harm, just observing her.

However, Tamur’s actions seemed to have given her the wrong impression. Glancing at the woman, Tamur said nothing, floated back beside Feng Yuan, watching her. As Tamur left, the woman sat weakly on the ground. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan nervously asked

"Are you... okay?"

"I’m okay, okay! It’s just... your Spirit Beast emits quite a presence. When it stared at me, it felt like being eyed by a terrifying existence. Honestly, even legendary-level Spirit Beasts didn’t give me this feeling～"

Contrary to Feng Yuan’s concern, the woman exclaimed excitedly while eyeing Tamur, unable to resist the impression, as dragon-shaped Spirit Beasts’ strength is usually proportional to their size, and Tamur’s size seemingly shouldn’t be too powerful.

"Um..."

Realizing the misunderstanding, Feng Yuan glanced at Tamur, who flicked his tail leisurely saying

"I don’t mind."

"Uh... I didn’t mean to speak ill of you, um, It’s Tamur, the Divine Beast of the era, back then... "

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan decided to introduce Tamur’s background to the woman. After listening to Feng Yuan’s explanation, she gazed at Tamur excitedly and said

"A Divine Beast～ I actually saw it in person, and got so close to a Divine Beast～"

Tilting his head, Feng Yuan thought this person seemed... rather odd?

Dou Yanlan, however, seemed to catch on and asked

"Have you never left the Cha Mu Town area before?"

"Hehe~ I used to live in the village all the time. This is my first time in Maomu City..."

Rising cautiously, the woman said embarrassedly with a flushed face.
