Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1945 - 1946: Luring

In the end, it was Feng Yuan who made the decision to camp and rest near a water source. After all, he could directly inquire about the information on the internal map of Liao Yu’s Special Duty Team. Compared to public maps, this internal map records richer information, and of course, even Feng Yuan didn’t dare to ask Liao Yu to send that map to him.

However, asking for some map information was fine. In fact, by collating various information available online, one could also get a semi-true and false resource map.

"Hmm, this place isn’t bad, but I think it might be better to have Ah Mu build a treehouse. Even if we’re not worried about Spirit Beast attacks, this place is prone to flooding."

Surveying the shallow area, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen that the water here was relatively shallow, so quite a few non-water-type Spirit Beasts liked to come here to drink.

Although most wild Spirit Beasts wouldn’t attack humans indiscriminately, considering this place is a mountain stream, if a natural disaster like a flash flood occurs, this area might get submerged. That’s why Feng Yuan made this suggestion.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen didn’t protest. If it weren’t for Veronia and Tamur being here, he probably wouldn’t have agreed to Feng Yuan’s suggestion to camp here.

This shallow area was relatively large, with many Spirit Beasts coming to drink water. Qi Chen also noticed that there was a lot of food near and in the water that Spirit Beasts liked.

Even if they generally wouldn’t attack humans, it could be dangerous if there’s a turf or food fight and the Beast Taming power isn’t strong enough.

But now, with Tamur and Veronia here, that concern could be put aside.

As strength grew, Ah Mu’s speed in building treehouses and their sturdiness increased significantly. At least in Feng Yuan’s view, this treehouse could hold up for a while even if it faced a flash flood head-on.

As long as there was enough reaction time, Feng Yuan wasn’t worried about those natural disasters. Of course, having an Ultimate Move like a Weather Lock or an ability would be even better, as nobody knew what natural threats might be encountered in the wild.

Unfortunately, because this area couldn’t be considered entirely wild, although Weather Lock could be used, it would attract the Patrolman’s investigation, so in the end, Feng Yuan gave up.

After all, with Tamur and Veronia, setting a constant weather wasn’t a big deal.

On the treehouse, Xiao Ji curiously watched the three people busy preparing food, while Cotton was playing with Ah Mu under the treehouse. Although Ah Mu could change its form to come up, considering it had been forced to suppress its size with transformation usually, Qi Chen didn’t specifically ask it to come up.

This shallow area, marked on the Special Duty Team’s map as a water source, was not for nothing. During the time Feng Yuan and the others were preparing dinner, quite a few Spirit Beasts passed by here, and even a number of One-leaf Foxes joined Ah Mu and Cotton’s play group.

Perhaps noticing the strange commotion below, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but lean over to take a look. Thinking of something, he turned to Xiao Ji and smiled as he said,

"Aren’t you going to play with them?"

Turning its head, Xiao Ji called disdainfully with a look like a little adult, to which Veronia chuckled lightly and said,

"Xiao Ji seems to want to appear smart~"

Nodding, Xiao Ji called out happily, while Feng Yuan, speechless, glanced at Xiao Ji and said,

"It’s indirectly saying you’re naive."

The triumphant expression vanished instantly. Xiao Ji stared suspiciously at Veronia, who simply chuckled and floated to the side on Rainbow Bubbles.

Realizing it had been duped, Xiao Ji spread its wings dissatisfiedly and called aloud at Veronia. Tamur glanced at Xiao Ji quarreling with Veronia, then down at Ah Mu and Cotton playing with the One-leaf Foxes, and swayed gently.

After dinner, Qi Chen found it odd that Feng Yuan had not cleaned up the dishes but continued cooking. Was he planning to have a late-night snack? But he didn’t seem to have that habit.

Dou Yanlan guessed what Feng Yuan wanted to do, and looking at Tamur coiled around the railing, said to Feng Yuan,

"Are you trying to attract Spirit Beasts that act at night?"

"Yeah, but those Spirit Beasts’ attributes might not quite match yours. After all, night-active Spirit Beasts are generally related to Ghost Series and Death Series. It’s still early, so I want to see if I can encounter any Spirit Beast that feels like destiny~"

Preparing the food, Feng Yuan said. Using special food to attract wild Spirit Beasts is a good tactic, but it’s also risky.

Because the aroma of that food would indiscriminately attract all wild Spirit Beasts in the area that could smell it, and among them, there might be some with bad tempers. Moreover, with more wild Spirit Beasts, no one knows what might happen.

But for Feng Yuan, this was not a problem. His own strength was right there, and just Tamur and Veronia could easily suppress that group of wild Spirit Beasts.

As for causing a Spirit Beast riot? That’s even more impossible. After all, it’s just food. It shouldn’t cause a riot, not to mention there are two top Divine Beasts holding the line. However, the peculiar thing Veronia found was that the Spirit Beasts Feng Yuan drew in with food tended to be more of Ghost and Death Series attributes, which overlapped with Xiao Ji’s attributes.

As a Divine Beast of the Death Series, even if Xiao Ji learned more Ultimate Moves leaning towards strong attacks, its other types of Ultimate Moves should not be underestimated. While Feng Yuan had not checked in detail how many Ultimate Moves Xiao Ji had mastered, Veronia, who had watched Xiao Ji train, knew.

With the Ultimate Moves Xiao Ji has now, control, output, and defense were all covered. It even somewhat mastered healing moves, which shouldn’t belong to the Death Series. However, due to the high level of events Feng Yuan got involved in, Xiao Ji could hardly play any role.

But, at the current stage of strength, Xiao Ji could already be said to be a versatile hand, capable of any position in the group, so Feng Yuan didn’t seem to need to seek Spirit Beasts with unique attributes.

Though confused, Veronia didn’t ask out loud. After all, if Feng Yuan genuinely wanted to do something, they should be able to see it soon.

After a while, a strange aroma wafted in. Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan and asked in confusion,

"This aroma seems to attract Plant-type and animal-type Spirit Beasts?"

"Pretty much, actually, a lot of special Plant-type Spirit Beasts are nocturnal, like the Ghost Lily."

Smugly, Feng Yuan said. Besides normal Plant-type Spirit Beasts, there are many Death plant-formed Plant-type Spirit Beasts, and their active time is mostly at night.

Surprised, Dou Yanlan glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Ghost Lily is a Rare Level Spirit Beast, we probably won’t encounter it here, right?"

"I don’t know, but Ghost Lily is more inclined toward support. Bringing it into a group doesn’t seem to make much sense..."

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said. After all, normal Spirit Beast assistance moves on Xiao Ji wouldn’t work much, not to mention Ghost Lily is also from the Ghost Series.

Of course, besides Ghost Lily, there are many other possible Plant-type Spirit Beasts that could appear. Feng Yuan wasn’t too sure what his concocted food would attract.

Besides, he didn’t think he would just coincidentally encounter a kindred Spirit Beast.

Taking the prepared food, Feng Yuan jumped down from the treehouse. To ensure safety, when Ah Mu constructed the vine treehouse, it was placed high up. But this little height was nothing to Feng Yuan. With a stretch and contraction of his black wings, his descent was slowed considerably, landing steadily on the ground with the lunchbox in hand unchanged, except for the gelatinous, jiggling mass inside.

Signaling the flying down Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said,

"Come, Xiao Ji, use your Ultimate Move to spread the aroma of this food as much as possible~"

"You’re inviting a Spirit Beast riot."

Veronia, sitting on Rainbow Bubbles, floated down, listening to Feng Yuan’s words, somewhat speechless. This guy was going overboard with his audacity.

The aroma, while indeed a scent, wasn’t necessarily sniffable only through a human-like nose. More so, the aroma was more akin to energy, thus almost any Spirit Beast that could perceive energy could "smell" it.

Coupled with its naturally large range of diffusion, if Xiao Ji helped to further spread it, perhaps even the nearby wetlands could "smell" the aroma, and the number of Spirit Beasts it would attract then would be unpredictable.

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"Well, just try to spread it to the vicinity. It’s just that I don’t want to wait~"
