Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1946 - 1947: Thoughts of the Second Beast Tamer
Even though in the end Xiao Ji used the Wind Attribute ultimate move to spread that scent, Veronia said she was worried, afraid of attracting the wrath of the Little Crocodile, so she used her own power at the edges to prevent the scent from spreading too far.
Of course, strictly speaking, that food itself would only attract wild Spirit Beasts out looking for food at this time, and wouldn’t be like some suspicious drugs that even attract Spirit Beasts preparing to rest.
But even so, soon enough this shoal gathered quite a few wild nocturnal plant-type Spirit Beasts.
Looking at those luminous Spirit Beasts gathering around, even though Xiao Ji is a Divine Beast of the Death Series, she felt a bit uneasy; there’s no way around it, anything related to the Ghost Series always carries a frightening feeling, not to mention the gathering of so many at once, making this shoal appear gloomily lit in blue-green hues.
Feng Yuan didn’t seem to mind, and he reached out to pet a Shade Cat, laughing and saying
"As expected, there are a lot of Spirit Beasts here that can’t be seen during the day~"
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said
"You’ve gathered so many wild Spirit Beasts, is the food you prepared enough?"
After all, they were attracted by the aroma of the food, and if they don’t get anything, there’s no telling if some bad-tempered Spirit Beasts might take it out on them.
Even though with Ah Mu and Cotton around, Qi Chen had nothing to worry about, yet, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this was somehow not right.
"Of course it’s enough, let’s have a party~"
Boasting, Feng Yuan asked Tamur to help bring down cooking utensils to make food on the spot, those Spirit Beasts drawn by the aroma were inevitably anxious seeing so many Spirit Beasts around, but with Veronia and Tamur keeping order, they didn’t dare act out.
The Patrolman naturally noticed the commotion, but when he traced it to the unusually behaving Spirit Beasts, he saw from afar that it was Feng Yuan stirring up trouble, so he didn’t bother further, after all, with two Divine Beasts at his side, he had no concerns about unrest arising.
However, he didn’t expect this guy to be so troublesome, attracting so many wild Spirit Beasts.
Just as Feng Yuan predicted, despite the number of wild Spirit Beasts attracted, none were truly compatible.
Veronia sat on Rainbow Bubbles, looking at Feng Yuan in puzzlement, this guy really just wanted to bring in wild Spirit Beasts for fun, without seriously considering choosing any of them.
As for Qi Chen and the others, because the Spirit Beasts drawn mostly had Ghost Series attributes or were special nocturnal plant-type Spirit Beasts, they were not a good fit for their current Beast Tamers, so they didn’t consider this affair.
Maybe because too many Spirit Beasts were drawn, Feng Yuan spent a long time calming down this group of wild Spirit Beasts he attracted, looking at the shoal returning to peace, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said
"So, all that effort for nothing?"
"Not exactly, there are some wild Spirit Beasts not present on the online map, but should be recorded on internal maps; uh, by the way, none of you found a suitable partner?"
With a bitter smile, Qi Chen helplessly said
"It’s not that easy, you haven’t even settled your own things and you’re worrying about us."
"While fate is to be considered, neither our strengths nor family backgrounds allow us to completely act based on preference. If we don’t find compatible Spirit Beasts before the mid-term assessments, we might have to be like everyone else."
Dou Yanlan glanced at Feng Yuan, seemingly expressing helplessness unless they genuinely plan to rely on Feng Yuan consistently, they certainly can’t be too indulgent.
Actually, known Beastmasters out there have many Spirit Beasts very significant to them.
These are Spirit Beasts compatible with them, but due to issues of strength and team composition, they ultimately can only give them Spirit Beast Contracts.
Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, owing to Feng Yuan’s influence, have relatively more leeway with this choice, yet it’s not possible to casually pick and choose like Feng Yuan.
This is why they spent both the weekend days searching near Liantang Town.
Feng Yuan touched his chin and asked Dou Yanlan
"What kind of Spirit Beast are you guys planning to find? Based on your team composition, you should be looking for a strong attacker now, right? You’ve got support with Ah Mu, auxiliary with Cotton, so you’re missing an attacker, right?"
Looking at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan shook her head and said
"No, I’m planning to find a Beast Tamer skilled in healing and defense, after all, we may have moments acting alone, and Cotton is primarily good at disturbance and control, rather than enhancement in team support."
As she spoke, Dou Yanlan looked at Qi Chen and said
"Ah Chen, he wants to find a strong attacker, but considering his situation, healing and support might be more suitable for him."
"Um, you mean Ah Mu is supposed to tank up front, right? That could work too, since Ah Mu’s attack abilities are not particularly weak, just that if you two team up, then you’d lack a damage dealer."
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan told Dou Yanlan, their arrangement seemed decent, but it placed attack pressure entirely on Ah Mu.
Of course, it’s not a big deal for Dou Yanlan not to have strong attack capabilities, given she has Cotton, and if there’s another Spirit Beast good at defense and healing, even in relics they wouldn’t face too much danger.
After all, negative states and such ultimate move interference would be enough to dispel most wild Spirit Beasts’ urge to attack her.
As for the Beastmaster competition?
Neither Dou Yanlan nor Qi Chen are particularly enthusiastic about it, given it’s easier to handle in teams, whereas solo matches due to shorter Beast training periods make it more favorable for strong attackers like Xiao Ji.
Other types of Beast Tamers aren’t unsuitable, but aiming for good ranks would be harder, whereas competitions in Divine Land Region and Omeilia Region on such regional levels are practically Divine Beast contests.
Even though it’s team battles, lacking Divine Beasts is quite disadvantageous, except if Ernis and his Divine Pact Maker aren’t interested in Beastmaster competitions, otherwise Great Xia might even request Feng Yuan to partake.
Considering regional Guardian level Divine Beasts aren’t just any ordinary Divine Beasts to confront, Feng Yuan’s setup is rather outrageous, having top-tier regional Guardian level Divine Beasts alongside him.
Because of Divine Beast interference, regional Beastmaster competitions are less fair compared to smaller scale competitions; since with Divine Beasts involved, fundamentally it’s about who has more Divine Beasts.
Moreover, regional Beastmaster competitions largely aim to vie for resources and speech power, personal fairness is not very important, thus ordinary people just watch for fun, only champions of national Beastmaster competitions below regional ones become targets of admiration.
No way around it, being a Divine Pact Maker is not something that can be achieved through effort alone.
In Feng Yuan’s view, if Qi Chen and others want to join Beastmaster competitions, such team compositions would easily be targeted.
From a certain level in Beastmaster competitions, Beastmasters themselves become allowed attack targets.
In such scenarios, relying solely on Ah Mu for strong attacks may prove disadvantageous.
Dou Yanlan didn’t know that Feng Yuan’s concern was about the Beastmaster competition, she smiled slightly and said
"Damage dealers aren’t particularly crucial, are they? After all, in the wild, high destructive power is likely less than the advantage of fast escape speed."
"That’s true, but for Beastmaster competitions, you’d be at a disadvantage with such arrangements, whereas in school team battles, I could help, no, you teaming up with other damage dealers is sufficient."
"Joining Beastmaster competitions, I think it’s only suitable when we have a third Spirit Beast, at that point, we’d definitely consider damage dealers."
Smiling sweetly, Dou Yanlan said, within competitions like Beastmaster contests, damage dealers are crucial, whereas for professions like Patrolman, offensive capabilities aren’t exceedingly necessary.
Unless they want to use force in persuading wild Spirit Beasts, otherwise, most of the time, their Beast Tamers are more about ensuring their safety, while going for the kill is the most foolish approach.
