Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1950 - 1951: Dilemma

Although they knew that many wild spirit beasts had chosen new habitats, Feng Yuan and his group had yet to encounter any spirit beasts that caught their fancy at the water source, perhaps due to bad luck or some other reason.

As Feng Yuan and the others were preparing lunch in the forest a bit away from the water source, strange noises suddenly came from the water source area.

Putting down the frying pan in his hands, Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and the others and said,

"I’ll go take a look."

Instinctively taking the frying pan handed over by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen looked at the half-cooked dish in the pan and turned awkwardly to Dou Yanlan, saying with an embarrassed look,

"Um, Yanlan..."

Dou Yanlan chuckled lightly, took the frying pan, and continued with the dish. The two occasionally glanced in the direction of the water source, which seemed to be enveloped in a white mist?

The Dreaming Dragon Baby poked its head out from under the Flood Dragon and looked around. Seeing no danger, it happily darted into the creek to play. The Flood Dragon indulgently watched the lively little creature. Sensing something, it suddenly stood up and looked towards where Feng Yuan was.

With the appearance of the Flood Dragon, those who had been lingering at the water source all hid in the forest. There was no way around it; even if it bore no malice, the legendary-level Flood Dragon was not something this group of students could contend with. If someone accidentally angered it, they might end up suffering unintended consequences.

Tamur swam over to Feng Yuan and said while looking at the Flood Dragon,

"It seems very wary."

"It’s probably because that little one blabbed a bit," 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Feng Yuan said thoughtfully, glancing at the dragon baby, who had rushed behind the Flood Dragon with water droplets still on it.

If he guessed correctly, the dragon baby had likely complained about him to the Flood Dragon. However, as a legendary wild spirit beast, the Flood Dragon was no fool. The dragon baby might not recognize Tamur, but the Flood Dragon definitely knew.

"I think we might be in for a good show."

Seeing the dragon baby snuggle up to the Flood Dragon and point at him with its little claw, making small sounds, Feng Yuan could guess it was probably being mischievous, but well...

Soon, Feng Yuan saw the Flood Dragon using its ultimate move to subdue the dragon baby, like an adult disciplining a misbehaving child.

Feng Yuan had no intention of stopping this. After all, for wild spirit beasts, discernment was crucial. Carelessly provoking a formidable enemy could lead to being expelled, especially if the defeated party was disliked by the surrounding spirit beasts, the consequences would be more severe.

After watching the commotion for a while, Feng Yuan lost interest and returned to the picnic spot, recounting what had happened. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with puzzlement and asked,

"Why is that dragon baby so... arrogant?"

"It probably grew up in a large group, but it’s strange because groups rarely split during migrations. It’s hard to say what exactly is going on with that Flood Dragon,"

Feng Yuan said, stroking his chin and thinking. Based on the dragon baby’s behavior, it was likely part of a large group, protected by a horde of dragon-type spirit beasts, hence its arrogance. However, now the Flood Dragon was the only one by its side, so it seemed the group might have encountered issues.

Initially a bit curious, Feng Yuan soon dismissed such thoughts as the food was ready.

As long as there was no external interference, how wild spirit beasts handled their affairs was their own business, and Feng Yuan had no desire to intervene excessively.

With the departure of the Flood Dragon, the water source area regained its usual vitality. Having circled the spot after lunch, Feng Yuan left with Qi Chen and the others, somewhat disappointed.

"Hmm, it’s not working out. The spirit beasts here don’t seem suitable for you. Perhaps we should wait for Patado?"

Feng Yuan said discontentedly along the way. After all, not achieving their goal after exploring for so long was naturally frustrating, but he was mainly concerned about Qi Chen and the others. As for himself?

Finding a second contract beast didn’t really matter to Feng Yuan; it wouldn’t enhance his strength nor provide substantial assistance in battle, so he wasn’t in any rush.

For Qi Chen and the others, however, delaying their second contract beast for too long could prove disadvantageous due to the feedback of spiritual power from the beasts to Beastmasters, reducing their actual growth time compared to others.

Not impressed, Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said sourly,

"We’re not in that much of a hurry, and as for Patado... let’s skip it."

As a rare life-series spirit beast, Patado is considered even rarer than the Dreaming Dragon Baby. After all, there are many combat-oriented spirit beasts, some of which are on par with the Dreaming Dragon Baby in terms of level, but life-series spirit beasts are much less common.

Such things are inherently rare among spirit beasts. Even if Feng Yuan managed to gather a group of Patado, there wouldn’t be many. Qi Chen thought neither he nor Dou Yanlan needed to seek such rare spirit beasts.

"Actually, we’re not in a rush. As long as we find suitable spirit beasts in the next few weeks, there’s no need for you to worry about us,"

Dou Yanlan said helplessly to Feng Yuan. That guy really wasn’t worried about his own matters but was rather concerned about them.

Of course, they understood that a second contract beast wasn’t of crucial importance to Feng Yuan. Given the power he had shown, even if they didn’t know the full truth, they could still judge that a second contract beast wouldn’t provide Feng Yuan with much benefit.

So even if his second contract beast was a bit delayed, it wasn’t a big problem.

This was why Qi Chen and the others never pressed Feng Yuan on when he’d form the second contract, because to Feng Yuan, that time difference didn’t have much significance.

Veronia pointed at a passing Green Moss Crab and said,

"This spirit beast seems nice too, with space and water attributes. It can master many space-series ultimate moves~"

"Hmm, I don’t like it. Fluffy or cooler ones are okay, but the evolved form of a Green Moss Crab... how to say, it looks too much like Saddleback Turtles,"

Feng Yuan said as he looked at the passing Green Moss Crab. Although the Green Moss Crab just appeared bulkier with a thick layer of moss on its back, its evolved form progresses into developing a primordial forest atop its back.

This is also why the Green Moss Crab has a spatial attribute; without it, it couldn’t develop a forest on its shell.

However, because of the forest on its back, Feng Yuan thought the evolved form of the Green Moss Crab didn’t differ much from other spirit beasts carrying a space. In contrast, he found turtle-like spirit beasts more appealing.

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan turned to Qi Chen and asked,

"What do you think? Although water-series ultimate moves have few healing aspects, the Green Moss Crab can master wood-series ultimate moves. Coupled with special spatial defense, it might meet your needs?"

"In terms of positioning, yes, but..."

Pinching her chin, Dou Yanlan said as she walked up. The Green Moss Crab looked at the human blocking its path in confusion, blew a few emerald bubbles, then turned and continued forward.

Scratching his head, Qi Chen said,

"I feel like I..."

Whether intentionally or coincidentally, the Green Moss Crab, bypassing Dou Yanlan, ended up in front of Ah Mu, looking at the big tree with curiosity and blowing emerald bubbles.

Ah Mu swayed its body to speak to the Green Moss Crab. Seeing this as a bit odd, Feng Yuan turned to Veronia and asked,

"What are they saying?"

"Well, it seems like the Green Moss Crab wants to follow Ah Mu, but... Ah Mu seems to have refused."

Veronia said incredulously. Ah Mu is a Giant Tree Demon, which theoretically shouldn’t hold special attraction for the Green Moss Crab. If it was interested in a Beastmaster, it should be Qi Chen, not Ah Mu.

Feng Yuan thought of something and said helplessly,

"I see, it’s probably Nainefar’s power. Even a little bit of the Century Tree’s power can greatly benefit the Green Moss Crab, but..."

Feng Yuan spoke as he looked at Qi Chen. Both Ah Mu and the Green Moss Crab are large creatures, and apart from exceptions like Kong Qing, no beast carrying a space is typically small. If Qi Chen chooses it, it could be troublesome.

Because a contract beast within the Spirit Beast Space can’t provide power, just like Yang Hongzhi’s Xiao Hui, which rarely had any opportunities to appear in the Abnormal Space back then due to environmental restrictions there.
