Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 211 Arrival at Luo’an City_1

"Don’t go over there in a weird way; the situation there is very serious now, and the slightest carelessness could escalate into a fight, so you’d better change out of your team uniform."

"Is it that serious?"

Seeing Captain Yan’s solemn expression, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Fine, I get it. I’ll go back and change my clothes. As for asking for a leave, I’ll leave that to you~ Surely if I’m doing you a favor, I shouldn’t have to apply for leave myself, right?"

"I’ll handle the leave application for you, just don’t cause any big trouble over there."

Seeing Captain Yan’s warning look, Feng Yuan shook his body and said,

"Relax, relax~"

"Can I come with you?"

"Huh?"

Surprised by Yang Hongzhi’s question, Feng Yuan looked at him and said,

"Don’t you guys have class tomorrow as well?"

"I can take a leave. As long as we keep up with the teaching schedule, the teachers won’t care how many days we take off."

"Is that so~"

Looking somewhat envious towards Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan chuckled and Yang Hongzhi shook his head and said,

"So, can I join him?"

Captain Yan glanced at Yang Hongzhi and said,

"We don’t restrict him from bringing others here, as long as you comply with confidentiality rules."

"Then I’ll go back and change my clothes first~ You go and pack your bags~"

Watching Feng Yuan leave, Captain Yan turned to Yang Hongzhi and said,

"Please take care of him for me, keep an eye on him, and don’t let him get into trouble again."

"Understood."

Opening his mouth to speak, Captain Yan ultimately sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.

"Are you going out again?"

"Yes, something’s come up, and I need to make a trip. Captain Yan said he would apply for my leave."

"Big Cat, are you coming with me?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s question, Big Cat, who was using the computer, was silent for a while before nodding at Feng Yuan. Seeing Feng Yuan stuffing items into Big Cat’s bag, Qi Chen commented somewhat speechlessly,

"Are you using Big Cat as a travel bag now?"

"The space in Big Cat’s bag is big enough anyway~"

"Are you planning a long trip? Why take so many things?"

"More or less, I don’t know how long it will take to get things sorted."

"What about it? Want to come along?"

Seeing Feng Yuan look his way, Qi Chen waved his hand and declined,

"No thanks, I still have classes. I’m not like you, who doesn’t care whether he attends class or not."

"Oh! Are you planning to take part in the Maomu City Beast Taming Competition?"

"Why would I do that? Although Ah Mu is strong, he’s not at the top among those of the same age. It would be pointless to participate."

Feng Yuan shook the Wolf God’s Robe in his hand and said,

"Have you forgotten this?"

"The Wolf God’s Robe? Although Coming of the Future is terrifying indeed, it doesn’t last long, right? This time it’s a wilderness survival competition, not just arena fighting."

"What if we form a team? I’ll lead you guys to victory~"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen looked out the window and said,

"Forget it, that’s no fun. That wouldn’t be our own strength. Doing so makes me feel like it’s cheating."

"Suit yourself, I was just worried about what would happen if we end up not being on the same team and face each other in the end."

"Indeed... facing you, I don’t really have any confidence..."

Qi Chen said with some self-mockery, taking a glance at Qi Chen and Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan slung the backpack over his shoulder and said to Big Cat,

"Are you ready? Once we’re all set, we’ll head off~"

"Phew, I almost missed the last bus."

On the bus, Feng Yuan, gasping for air, turned to Yang Hongzhi and said as he took his seat. Yang Hongzhi replied with a helpless expression,

"Who would have thought that the train to Luo’an City would suddenly be canceled."

"It’s because those crazies are making more and more trouble, nothing can be done about it."

Looking curiously at the uncle who’d spoken, Feng Yuan saw a man who was dressed fastidiously and looked refined. Feng Yuan asked with some curiosity,

"Uncle, how do you know? I didn’t see anything about it on the news~"

"All because the government is covering for that lot. If you ask me, they should just make it public and suppress those rebels with force! Look at what they’ve turned Luo’an City into!"

"Is it really chaotic over there now?"

"More or less. Anyone without decent strength hardly dares to go out. You see Maomu City’s media blathering all day about security deteriorating due to force majeure, but compared to Luo’an City, it’s nothing. Since last month, when those rebels started causing a ruckus on a large scale, people have been afraid to step outside without a Good Level Spirit Beast for protection."

Feng Yuan said, a bit puzzled,

"With things like this, isn’t the government stepping in?"

Sighing, the uncle said helplessly,

"They are, but those ringleaders are Beastmasters, and they’re directly targeting the Forest Temple. The police say it’s a local internal conflict and they shouldn’t intervene too much."

"So it’s just an excuse? Looks like someone else is coveting what’s inside the Forest Temple."

Feng Yuan sneered, and the uncle, surprised, glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"What could possibly be inside the Forest Temple? Isn’t that just an ancestral sacrificial site? What else could there be?"

Seeing the uncle’s confusion, Feng Yuan said with a mysterious air,

"Do you really think it’s as simple as just a sacrificial site?"

"Don’t try to bluff me, uncle. I used to play in the Forest Temple all the time when I was a kid, and there was absolutely nothing there."

"But you two are still students, right? Don’t you have classes tomorrow?"

"We’re on a mission there; since the situation is rather dire, the academy issued a task to investigate the Forest Temple, and we took the opportunity to treat it like a trip~"

Watching Feng Yuan lie without changing his facial expression, Yang Hongzhi looked on with some envy. Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, the uncle laughed heartily and said,

"A mission from the academy, huh? Back in my day, I nearly got into the Beast Taming Academy in Luo’an City myself. But your Maomu City academy is really bold; Luo’an City is now even more chaotic than Maomu. You should be careful when you arrive. Remember not to stay in hotels; just go directly to the academy’s rest stop."

"Eh? That sounds like a hassle, plus we’re not exactly broke."

"It’s not about money. Those crazies have made the hotels unsafe. You never know when they might start a fight."

Feng Yuan spent the journey probing the uncle for news. After arriving at the station, Feng Yuan and Yang Hongzhi stepped outside to find the station entrance eerily deserted. Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Looks like that uncle wasn’t exaggerating; security really has reached an all-time low."

Yang Hongzhi frowned with dissatisfaction and said,

"Didn’t Captain Yang and the others deal with this?"

"They’re too short-staffed. I’m sure he doesn’t have enough people. As for dispatching the guard to suppress...

Feng Yuan sighed and continued,

"Perhaps someone else has ulterior motives."

"Doesn’t the Elder Council care?"

"They can’t do much, just like the uncle said. Technically, this is a local internal dispute. Although everyone is on edge, I doubt it’s reached the point where people would easily harm others. Remember how it was when the G Organization caused trouble?"

"Agunas, check if there’s any tampering with time here. I’ll call Captain Yang."

Agunas nodded and vanished with a blink, not to be seen. After a while, Feng Yuan hung up the phone and said to Yang Hongzhi,

"Captain Yang said he will come over later and asked us to wait here for a bit."

"Xiao Hui! Earth Barrier!"

Yang Hongzhi suddenly released Xiao Hui and bellowed, raising a solid wall of rock as a barrier. Seeing the lightning halted by the earth barrier, Xiao Ji hopped down from on top of Feng Yuan’s head, transformed into the Sky Blue Great Bird, while the Dreaming Dragon Baby floated up and looked around. Big Cat stuck closely by Feng Yuan’s side, and a small, purple Spirit Beast that was flickering with electric sparks glared angrily at a man standing outside the barrier. The man swore under his breath as he dodged another bolt of lightning and fled along the edge of the rock wall.

"This is way too brazen, isn’t it?"

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly. A while later, the man and his pursuer disappeared into the night. Yang Hongzhi and the others then stood down from their battle-ready stance.
