Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2159 - 2160: Breakthrough and Confirmation
Considering that this operation is not just a matter for a few of us, Feng Yuan did not force Agunas to break through. However, everyone is aware that the barrier will eventually be breached.
The blockade of the passageway did not affect students exploring other cleared areas. Aside from those still working on clearing traps, many chose to attend a temporary action meeting at the assembly point.
This action meeting was originally just for the excavation team, but since it involved the students’ curriculum, they decided to allow an exception for students to attend.
In fact, calling it a meeting is more about a group gathering to decide on the next course of action.
Continuing to push forward is certain, but how to do it remains uncertain. Some believe that since the Legendary Level Spirit Beast hasn’t directly attacked, perhaps they can negotiate with it to allow their investigation.
However, some opposed this, as they’re uncertain if the beast is the guardian of these ruins. Though theoretically, Spirit Beasts shouldn’t have such long lifespans, one can’t rule out unexpected incidents.
At least for now, this place has been full of surprises.
Feng Yuan did not join their discussion. From his perspective, any choice would work; he is sure that the Ghost Series Legendary Level Spirit Beast below won’t cause much trouble.
It’s a joke, really, with three Top-level Divine Beasts guarding here. That guy wouldn’t dare to do anything rash even if it had Sacred Beast Level strength. It would be subdued in no time. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
As for hiding some special tactics, Feng Yuan didn’t concern himself with that possibility, mainly because he feels it’s unlikely. A small station hiding a Legendary Level Spirit Beast is already astonishing enough. Adding something strange would truly be hard to understand.
This place isn’t exactly a treasure trove to warrant such fuss, is it?
It’s this very thought that makes Feng Yuan indifferent to how they pass through that passage.
Yet, those advocating for negotiation face another issue: how to communicate with the other party? Enter the Black Mist to inquire? Will the other party respond?
The meeting didn’t reach a conclusion, but it wasn’t entirely fruitless. The current plan is to first enter the Black Mist for attempts, whether through negotiation or force; involving the Black Mist is inevitable.
Of course, they’re not going in unprepared. The excavation team asked the students to leave the ruins before venturing into the mist.
"Do you think they’ll succeed?"
Outside the ruins, Qi Chen looks at the dilapidated building with curiosity and asks Feng Yuan. After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan shakes his head and responds.
"It’s difficult. Simply dealing with the Senluo Ghost Mist is one thing, but don’t forget the energy detection device’s findings. This place houses a Netherworld Spring, which can serve as an energy source for Ghost Series Spirit Beasts. A Legendary Level Ghost Series Spirit Beast with quickly replenishing energy isn’t easy to handle."
At this moment, Feng Yuan didn’t opt for an immediate forceful entrance into the ruins, mainly because he’s uncertain if making Agunas take action could lead to unforeseen incidents.
Moreover, the combination of a Netherworld Spring and a Legendary Level Ghost Series Spirit Beast is rather precarious unless the ruins’ safety is no concern.
The crowd waits anxiously outside, and soon an unfortunate news arrives: the excavation team couldn’t break through the Spatial Loop set up by the Legendary Level Ghost Series Spirit Beast.
"This is a bit troublesome. A forceful breakthrough might cause the entire ruins to collapse."
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan expresses his headache, then decides to act. Though the excavation team has backup plans, like digging a path from outside to bypass, Feng Yuan feels this is unreliable.
He doubts the other party would be unprepared for this. It’s likely such an approach might lead to a bigger crisis.
"Let me handle this..."
With a sigh, Feng Yuan waves his hand, donning the Black Sacrificial Robe he exchanged in Kui Shan Town once more. Seeing Feng Yuan’s serious demeanor, Qi Chen hesitates before asking.
"Need our help?"
"Of course, you and the teachers protect everyone here, while I go break through the Senluo Ghost Mist."
Without turning back, Feng Yuan says lightly, the dark long-handled sickle reflecting an eerie black light in the sunlight.
Watching Feng Yuan enter the ruins alone with a group of Spirit Beasts, Qi Chen feels worried yet realizes staying put is the best choice. Indeed, during a real conflict, he has but one strike’s worth of strength.
"Is Feng Yuan making a move again?"
Noticing Feng Yuan head into the ruins alone, Wu Dingwu immediately approaches Qi Chen to curiously ask, receiving a head nod, Qi Chen responds with a hint of helplessness.
"This time it really is..."
"Interesting, isn’t it?~ That’s what I think too. Such practical classes are far more engaging than conventional ones~"
With a chuckle, Wu Dingwu seems quite excited. Whether these disturbances result in wasted time? In his view, that’s unlikely. After all, it’s rare to encounter wild Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, and it’s safer with teachers around rather than venturing into the wild.
As to what they might learn, it depends on each person’s thoughts. Given the potential disruptions from unexpected factors in such classes, not even the academy can guarantee what students will learn.
Nevertheless, it’s certain that everyone will gain experience in dealing with Ghost Series Spirit Beasts. As for other things, it depends on their actions during this time.
"Have you tried using the Ultimate Move to detect special items?"
Recalling something, Wu Dingwu excitedly talks to Qi Chen. Since this practical class had minimal restrictions and the accompanying teachers only provided explanations, Wu Dingwu is unsure if Qi Chen and others have attempted this little trick he finds particularly useful.
As these students share insights into their learned techniques, Feng Yuan arrives at the passageway. On the way, team members from the excavation team express displeasure seeing Feng Yuan enter alone, but he merely directs them to ask the lead teacher, not intending to slowly explain.
"What’s your plan? How about calling Long Boduo over?"
Agunas swishes its tail and looks at Feng Yuan questioningly, while Veronia chuckles lightly and says.
"Can’t you tell from his demeanor? He’s planning to handle it personally~"
Nodding, Feng Yuan says.
"If the other party is reasonable, then fine. Otherwise..."
A cold gleam slides across the blade of the long-handled sickle. Agunas understands Feng Yuan’s implication. Before Agunas can speak, Feng Yuan takes a step forward, the black mist swirling around, stirred by the wind he generated.
Unexpectedly, the black mist seems to be swept away by an invisible, untouchable gust, spinning and vanishing on the walls to the sides. In just a moment, the mist disappears, leaving only a dark passageway and a stunned Feng Yuan.
"It seems confirmed now."
Sitting atop the Rainbow Bubbles, Veronia comments regretfully, suspicious about this sight. She can’t believe the Spirit Beast has no relation to those people. Surely the Ghost Series Spirit Beast isn’t afraid of Feng Yuan, is it?
This possibility can’t be ruled out, though the likelihood is low.
Because Feng Yuan himself isn’t releasing an overwhelmingly strong pressure like them. Even if facing Feng Yuan directly, the other party wouldn’t necessarily perceive his strength.
Without reply, Feng Yuan continues forward step by step with his sickle, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound occasionally twitching its ears nervously, following closely behind. After a while, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound turns its head, seeing the pitch-black backdrop behind, quickens its pace only to accidentally bump into Feng Yuan.
"What’s wrong?"
Turning around in confusion, Feng Yuan sees the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s fearful demeanor and feels perplexed. Remembering something, he digs out his phone to inform the teacher the passage blockage has been lifted.
Xiao Ji does not mock the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, because the atmosphere here is indeed tense. But perhaps due to being near Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji doesn’t feel as scared.
In Xiao Ji’s eyes, there’s nothing Feng Yuan can’t resolve. Even if his opponent is a Legendary Level Ghost Series Spirit Beast now, it doesn’t worry him.
"Has the entrance blockage been lifted? What exactly did he do?"
Seeing the message in the communication group, Qi Chen feels puzzled, not sensing any sign of battle movements. Has the troublesome Spatial Loop simply been resolved like that?
What did Feng Yuan do, exactly?
