Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2158 - 2159: Obstacle
Feng Yuan and the others didn’t wait for the excavation team’s order, instead they directly threw all the discovered Yinshan Bronze Armor into Veronia’s World of Mirrors. Although this should have been taken outside the ruins to avoid unexpected changes, for Feng Yuan and the others, tossing it into the World of Mirrors didn’t make much difference.
"Let’s continue forward. The other guest rooms are probably in similar conditions."
Back in the hallway, Feng Yuan glanced at the students moving the Yinshan Bronze Armor and said, due to the unexpected discovery of the Yinshan Bronze Armor, the teacher had to ask the students to remove all the discovered Yinshan Bronze Armor from the ruins to avoid being used by internal ghost series spirit beasts.
Some students opposed this action because they worried placing the Yinshan Bronze Armor outside could be the result of what those who arranged them intended.
Regarding this, the teacher could only say that the excavation team would assign people to guard them, as the concern was valid.
The appearance of the Yinshan Bronze Armor was too strange, and the fact that previously active ghost series spirit beasts didn’t use them is a major suspicion.
Seeing Feng Yuan and his party heading deeper, many students couldn’t help but call out to them, but upon knowing Feng Yuan’s name, they said nothing more. After all, they knew Feng Yuan’s strength well, especially since he was the one who helped when they were trapped in a different space.
As the three proceeded, they gradually moved out of the area cleaned by the excavation team.
"Watch out!"
With one step forward, Qi Chen’s battle instincts instantly warned him. Although he couldn’t see where the mechanism was, he had a sense of impending danger.
Ah Mu stepped forward and waved a hand, gathering a green rune stone. Different from Xiao Ji, Ah Mu’s ultimate move changes were numerous. Even with Rune Stone Barriers, there were many peculiar changes in Ah Mu’s hands.
Like now, holding back a rune stone ready to activate was one type of change. Since they couldn’t determine where the danger was coming from, this rune stone that could be triggered anytime became the most suitable defensive technique.
Xing Bo stood in front of Dou Yanlan, his fluffy lion mane constantly shedding flecks of star light. Among the Beast Tamers present, besides Xiao Ji, Xing Bo was the most sensitive to ghost series spirit beasts.
Similarly, Xing Bo had many ultimate moves specifically targeting ghost series spirit beasts. Looking at the dark tunnel ahead, Dou Yanlan pondered a bit and then ordered:
"Xing Bo, Holy Star, Ah Mu, prepare for defense anytime!"
Since they didn’t know what exactly was hidden in the darkness ahead, Dou Yanlan couldn’t make accurate judgments.
Receiving the order, Xing Bo leapt forward, howling, as a white energy ball gradually condensed and expanded. Unlike a regular illumination orb, this one looked more like a pale sun—though an energy construct, it seemed like a real celestial body.
With the advancing Holy Star illuminating the dim passage, unlike the previous high brownstone corridors, the walls here changed to deep black rock.
The flat rock surfaces stacked together with upwardly slanting outward facets, giving everyone an unusual feeling of walking in a canal.
This entire passage transformed into an inverted trapezoid, with rock beams supporting the top. The black mist stood out under the Holy Star’s light.
"Senluo Ghost Mist? Is there a legendary level ghost series spirit beast hidden below?"
Feng Yuan was startled upon seeing the black mist; it wasn’t easy to recognize. After all, the precondition for this ultimate move is the Ghostly Mist, which releases a field-covering black mist. Within the Ghostly Mist area, ghost series ultimate move power doubles, being a rare field ultimate move before the Crystal Domain era.
As the Ghostly Mist’s advancement, the Senluo Ghost Mist can only be mastered by legendary level ghost series spirit beasts. Some special spirit beasts might learn across categories, but for spirit beasts like Cotton, there’s no chance of mastering it.
Of course, this ultimate move, limited to legendary level mastery and with conditional restrictions, naturally has unparalleled power.
Before any variations were triggered, the Senluo Ghost Mist looked indistinguishable from Ghostly Mist, as both enhanced the potency of ghost series ultimate moves. However, fundamentally, Senluo Ghost Mist is the domain exclusive to the ghost series spirit beast using the ultimate move.
These black mists, unlike Ghostly Mist, aren’t uncontrollable. Using the mist of Senluo Ghost Mist, ghost series spirit beasts can execute long-range attacks and other techniques. Moreover, stepping into Senluo Ghost Mist, any move is under the gaze of the ghost series spirit beast.
However, because the two ultimate moves are so similar, even Dou Yanlan couldn’t recognize it initially, but Feng Yuan could, due to special reasons, as the Senluo Ghost Mist instead of the Ghostly Mist.
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s exclamation, Dou Yanlan furrowed her brows and quickly took out her phone to warn the teacher and the excavation team. As for the students?
She believed those attentive would notice, but as for those ignoring the news? That responsibility lay with the supervising teacher, so she needn’t do anything.
"It seems luck isn’t quite on our side."
With an open hand, Feng Yuan said helplessly. Legendary level spirit beasts aren’t just roadside cabbages; even Agunas couldn’t expect to encounter one here.
No matter if the ghost series spirit beast is a guardian of the place, having it here means difficulties in conducting relic excavation.
Thinking it over, Feng Yuan said:
"Let’s just pretend we know nothing as we pass through. If it doesn’t engage, we won’t mind it either."
Primarily, Feng Yuan and the others couldn’t grasp what intentions the ghost series spirit beast using Senluo Ghost Mist might have. Sometimes, the wild legendary level spirit beasts toss out such ultimate moves merely for a ’doorbell’ effect, alerting them whenever someone approaches. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
As for what actions they might take, it’s uncertain. Perhaps they lazily glance at the visitors and ignore them.
"For now, that’s all we can do."
Dou Yanlan nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. She hadn’t expected the academy’s practical course would turn out like this. Should it be said that Feng Yuan’s strange luck is strong, or was the academy too aggressive in its choice?
Upon hearing Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji cautiously watched the surroundings. Against a legendary level ghost series spirit beast, even with its countering ability, the power disparity is so large that in a real fight, it wouldn’t gain an advantage.
Of course, due to the existence of Domain Awakening, Xiao Ji wasn’t entirely helpless against its opponent.
"Do you need me to bestow Mythical Transformation?"
Having been silent, Tamur suddenly spoke up, prompting Feng Yuan to contemplate and say:
"Please."
Though with Agunas and others present, theoretically, there shouldn’t be danger, but!
Feng Yuan had already lost count of the unexpected encounters along the way. Considering Qi Chen and the others’ safety, asking Tamur to bestow Mythical Transformation was undoubtedly the right choice.
After everyone adjusted their statuses, they proceeded forward again. The black mist wavered in response to the wind Feng Yuan and the others brought as if the spirit beast behind it had already taken action.
However, Feng Yuan knew this was just the natural reaction of the mist. Such non-naturally occurring mist could take on any weird form.
The truly perplexing thing to Feng Yuan was why the spirit beast had yet to act; could it really be used merely as a doorbell?
Feng Yuan felt this couldn’t be that simple. Perhaps the opponent wanted to catch them off guard?
The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound shook its body, scattering sparks. Though this place wasn’t humid, it always felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Turning its head back, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound barked in confusion and tugged at Feng Yuan’s pants with its paw. Confused, Feng Yuan asked:
"What’s wrong?"
"Behind... huh? Interesting~"
Veronia translated the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s words, turning to look back with a peculiar smile. Clearly, although everyone had advanced for a while, behind them was still the green brick hallway they entered, just as if they’d only just started into this black passage.
"Spatial Loop?"
Feng Yuan immediately thought of this; but, were the opponent’s measures really so gentle?
"Need a forceful breakthrough?"
Agunas scanned Qi Chen and the others, asking Feng Yuan. Although they didn’t know what ultimate moves were layered within the black mist, with Agunas’ strength, breaking through by force wasn’t impossible.
"For now, let’s withdraw. Acting rashly might lead to trouble."
Considering the site as a relic and the possibility that the opponent might be a relic guardian, Feng Yuan dared not act recklessly—not out of fear, but due to the fact that acting rashly might ruin this practical class.
