Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1936 - 1937: Journey to Liantang Town

Early in the morning, Feng Yuan and the others took the bus to Liantang Town. Perhaps because everyone had similar ideas, they encountered quite a few classmates on the bus.

Upon arriving at Liantang Town, most people didn’t enter the town and headed straight into the wild. Feng Yuan glanced at the endless ponds and said

"Why don’t we go directly there to search, what do you think?"

"Are you joking?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said, how could there possibly be wild Spirit Beasts waiting for them in the town? Unlike in a city where one might encounter various stray wild Spirit Beasts passing by, generally speaking, there aren’t many wild Spirit Beasts in a town, and even if there are, they usually have close ties with the local residents.

It seemed Feng Yuan might have mistaken the purpose.

"Haha~ if you’re looking for Water Spirit Beasts, you’d better ask them~ there are basically just a few kinds of Water Spirit Beasts near Liantang Town, right?"

Feng Yuan scratched his head and said, Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan puzzled, not understanding what he was thinking, Qi Chen asked in confusion

"Do you need Water Spirit Beasts?"

In Qi Chen’s and Dou Yanlan’s view, Feng Yuan was the least restricted by Spirit Beast types. After all, his own strength was sufficient, so he didn’t need to consider specific types of Spirit Beasts for synergy.

Moreover, Xiao Ji’s affinity with water was very poor, was this guy seriously looking for Water Spirit Beasts? Don’t look at Xiao Ji letting him find a second Beast Tamer, if he’s being reckless, he might get angry.

Xiao Ji didn’t think about whether Feng Yuan choosing a Water Spirit Beast would affect itself, it was curious why Feng Yuan, who said he would go with the flow, suddenly wanted to find a specific Spirit Beast?

Glaring at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said irritably

"Of course not, aren’t you considering Water Spirit Beasts? Besides, most Water Spirit Beasts pair well with Ah Mu."

Dou Yanlan thought for a moment and said

"You mean for defensive combat? But, Ah Chen doesn’t need defensive combat capabilities."

"Defensive combat?"

Qi Chen was momentarily confused, Dou Yanlan smiled helplessly and said

"The ultimate moves of the Water and Wood elements can combine in certain parts, for example, Rain of Prosperity and Crazy Growth, to cultivate a special dense forest environment in most conditions. However, this combination is used mainly for holding positions; it lacks offensive and flexibility capabilities."

If Qi Chen was joining the army, she probably would have advised him to do this, but as a regular Beastmaster, the capability of defensive combat is almost useless because under usual circumstances, they won’t encounter situations where they need to hold a place.

Feng Yuan chuckled and said

"That’s not necessarily true, there are quite a few Water ultimate moves with additional effects on plant-type Spirit Beasts like Ah Mu; strengthening Ah Mu with Water Spirit Beasts, making Ah Mu the main attacker and relying on Ah Mu’s inherent characteristics, it’s quite an impressive offensive strategy~"

Dou Yanlan pinched her chin and pondered; Feng Yuan’s idea didn’t seem completely unfounded. Normally, Ah Mu’s racial growth direction could only serve as a support but after Feng Yuan brought in Nainefar’s power, it changed.

The originally not strong attack capability saw significant improvement; apart from the lack of flexibility, Ah Mu had few weaknesses, of course, the vulnerability to flames couldn’t be changed, but following Feng Yuan’s suggestion, this seemingly small weakness could be compensated with the support of Water Spirit Beasts.

Moreover, plant-type Spirit Beasts getting boosts from Water ultimate moves inherently receive extra bonuses; perhaps Feng Yuan’s proposal could indeed work.

Qi Chen thought about it but ultimately shook his head and said

"This... it’s not unworkable, but I think maybe there are other options."

It’s not that he couldn’t understand these benefits, it’s just that relying too heavily on Ah Mu for combat doesn’t seem like a good thing; of course, there are benefits, limited resources can be concentrated on Ah Mu, and supporting Spirit Beasts don’t need to be too strong.

But this kind of team might face restrictions in the Beast Tamer Tournament; if it’s a one-on-one battle, other Beast Tamers would find it difficult to play a role. Plus, how would other Beast Tamers feel about it?

Glancing at Xiao Ji beside Feng Yuan, Qi Chen finally gave up on Feng Yuan’s tempting proposal.

With a hearty laugh, Feng Yuan said

"If that’s the case, shall we check out the streams nearby? The Spirit Beast attributes there are quite diverse, maybe we’ll find something that catches our eye~"

There are many streams near Liantang Town, just no big rivers, and since this area usually presents a forest environment, the attributes of Spirit Beasts in Liantang Town are the most complex, covering most commonly known attributes, although compared to Cha Mu Town, the Spirit Beasts in Liantang are quite ordinary.

Because of Yognot’s impact in the Cha Mu Town area, Water Spirit Beasts are generally scarce, while those related to the Fire Attribute are more abundant; yet similarly, Yognot’s power indirectly influences the potential of Spirit Beasts in that area.

However, for Feng Yuan, the potential of Spirit Beasts isn’t important, he doesn’t need Beast Tamers as main combat forces; if there are any like Xiao Ji, he can solve the issue by granting them the status of Divine Beasts.

Also, due to the general Fire Attribute tendency of Cha Mu Town area Spirit Beasts, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan don’t mesh well with the local Spirit Beasts.

Mixing Ah Mu’s ultimate moves with Fire ultimate moves only diminishes one’s move power, and in Feng Yuan’s view, it’s quite difficult for Cha Mu Town area Spirit Beast potential to surpass Ah Mu, given Nainefar’s powerful strength.

As for Cotton? Although it wouldn’t be interfered with by Fire Power, for Dou Yanlan, Fire Power lacks combinability, generally focusing on strong attacks, which isn’t quite suitable for Dou Yanlan, who favors playing with techniques.

Although the Spirit Beasts found near Liantang Town mostly don’t have high potential, it’s not absolute as high-potential individuals appear randomly; environmental influence is merely about the lower limit of potential.

This is why each family, although caring, doesn’t overly value their Spirit Beast Garden because, after all, the family Spirit Beast Garden merely serves as a safety net; if higher potential is found outside, it’d be even better.

On the way, Veronia was sitting in her original form on Rainbow Bubbles, playing with her phone; she didn’t have too much feeling towards wild Spirit Beasts, if Agunas was here, it might pay attention to the living environment of those wild Spirit Beasts, but unfortunately, Veronia and Tamur didn’t think that way.

Tamur occasionally looped around the woods before floating out again, although being a Divine Beast of the era, it remembered all environments of the Mythical Era; it could even traverse that era within the sea of memories, but since following Feng Yuan and the others out of the sandy sea, it realized everything within the sea of memories were but Phantoms.

Even the most common woods had distinct differences compared to Phantoms, not in appearance but in the sense of feeling.

Feng Yuan noticed Tamur’s action, smiled slightly, and pretended not to see.

"Speaking of which, when Data City is open, you should take them there for good practice; after all, without fighting at full force, how can they know their limits and weaknesses~"

Casually mentioning the Data City training ground, Feng Yuan’s eyes lit up seeing a group of Spirit Beasts passing by, Xiao Ji noticed Feng Yuan’s shift and curiously poked its head.

A group of Fluffy Dogs was moving through the shrubs; perhaps they noticed Feng Yuan’s unfriendly gaze, the Fluffy Dogs murmured warnings among themselves before transforming into streaks of golden currents disappearing into the shrubbery, leaving behind broken branches proving that everyone didn’t see Phantoms.

"Fluffy Dog? Isn’t that a Spirit Beast of the Thunder Element?"

Qi Chen was surprised and said in confusion; he could understand the appearance of Water Spirit Beasts, given there are many streams here, it’s not surprising for Water Spirit Beasts to inhabit here, but Fluffy Dogs... standalone Thunder Spirits showing up isn’t fitting to this environment.

"Hmm, normally, when there’s a significant presence of Thunder-related Spiritual Medicine and Materials, rare Spirit Beasts like these might be drawn, but now there’s another possibility, an electricity station, perhaps this group of Fluffy Dogs is guarding a small hydroelectric station."

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan guessed, as many electricity stations are set up where few people are around, the Alliance and Divine Beasts agreed; these stations need to reserve some electricity while generating power to supply a small habitat suitable for Thunder Spirit Beasts, and correspondingly, Thunder Spirit Beasts can move in and enjoy the artificial environment provided, at the cost of guarding the station.
