Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1045 - 1046: Abnormal

"What a detestable area,"

Looking around at the twisted scenery, Feng Yuan expressed his disgust. The Nightmare Zone felt like a distorted reflection of the area they had just left, but whereas the Cloud World was like a fairy tale, the Nightmare Zone, with its deep purple clouds and blood-like viscous liquid, was thoroughly unpleasant.

Weird howls sounded close by, yet the sources of the noises remained unseen. Occasional black lightning exploded nearby, making the blood-red sky seem wildly irate.

Anernia seemed quite used to this, casually strolling around everyone. Although it was his home turf, he dared not sneak away or try to resist Feng Yuan, fully aware of the latter’s strength. With so many Divine Beasts watching like hawks, any slight mistake would have him miserably bullied.

Trudging behind everyone with a drooping head and dangling ears, Anernia timidly hit the bulging black-purple clouds with its paws, which burst into a puff of purple mist, seemingly harmless to him.

Seeing Little Ice Cream trying to mimic Anernia’s actions, Feng Yuan quickly stopped him, saying,

"Don’t mess around; you don’t have that special resistance. If you inhale that stuff, you might end up trapped in a nightmare for a long time."

Liao Yu cautiously protected the little boy and asked,

"Didn’t you say the Ghost Shadow Doll might be in the Dream Domain? Why did we come here?"

"Because of its motive, haven’t we guessed that the Ghost Shadow Doll came to the Dream Domain to deal with its unending nightmares?"

Feng Yuan looked puzzlingly at Liao Yu; the little boy, holding Liao Yu’s hand, seemed a bit self-reproachful. Guo Huai surveyed the surroundings and said,

"The Nightmare Crystals, a specialty of the Nightmare Zone, can indeed suppress the birth of nightmares, but there seems to be no sign of any creatures around."

The Dream Domain was vast, and nobody knew where the Ghost Shadow Doll might be. Feng Yuan then looked at Anernia and said,

"We’ll have to rely on it now, though Long Boduo would work too... How about both?"

Noticing Feng Yuan looking at him, Long Boduo snorted proudly. Anernia glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"How would I know where it is? I don’t have that damn creature’s strange powers."

Feng Yuan poked Anernia’s head with his finger, and Anernia, covering the spot with its paws, glared at him discontentedly and exclaimed,

"What are you doing!"

"Do you really lack the ability to find creatures not from the Dream Domain in the Nightmare Zone?"

Staring at Anernia, Feng Yuan’s lips slightly curled up as he said calmly. Realizing what he meant, Anernia hesitantly held its head and muttered softly,

"Well..."

"Can you stop bullying it for once?"

Qi Chen could hardly stand it anymore. This guy was always so hard on Anernia, and if Anernia got angry, what then? Anernia glanced at Qi Chen and scoffed disdainfully,

"Tch! You’re so pretentious, thinking you can be my..." hands off my head!"

Puffing up its cheeks and glaring at Feng Yuan who was still pressing on its forehead, Anernia shouted somewhat angrily. Gitalien approached and told it,

"Don’t fuss now; just find out where the Ghost Shadow Doll is."

"Hmph! All you do is bully me!"

Anernia said in a quite displeased tone, yet its nose kept sniffing. After a while, it pointed with a paw to the front left and said,

"There’s a Ghost Shadow Doll over there, but I can’t guarantee it’s the one you’re looking for."

Holding onto the little boy who wanted to rush out of the team, Liao Yu followed Gitalien with him, Gitalien glanced at Liao Yu but said nothing; after all, if safety was a concern, the safest place was probably by Feng Yuan’s side. At this moment, without realizing it, Feng Yuan had walked over to where Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan were, Anernia was leading the way up front and stealthily glanced back, noticing Feng Yuan’s motion, Anernia flicked its tail but didn’t make a fuss.

"What is this strange place?"

Looking at the mountain ahead that resembled an abstract painting, Feng Yuan spoke with some surprise. They hadn’t yet seen any sign of the Ghost Shadow Doll, but this bizarre landscape was before them, Anernia sniffed and remarked with some oddity,

"It doesn’t quite seem right; this doesn’t feel like a nightmare..."

"Indeed, no matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with a normal nightmare."

Gitalien scanned the distorted scenes behind them. Those things, no matter how you looked at them, never morphed into something abstract, like this strange mountain; they were merely ordinary distortions. Suddenly encountering an abstract element amid a realistic environment naturally made everyone more alert.

"Be careful, something about this area might be off."

Feng Yuan warned Qi Chen and the others to stay cautious, Gitalien and the other Divine Beasts certainly didn’t need to be worried about; not only were they well aware of these matters, but their capabilities also meant they didn’t need to be overly cautious. Veronia, holding an umbrella, casually walked over to Qi Chen’s side, and Agunas floated beside Liao Yu, clutching a book in its claws.

Long Boduo snorted loudly and circled around the group, Estir’s antlers emitted a faint, light green glow, small green dots like fireflies swirled around people. Feng Yuan smiled and looked at Xiao Ji, who, somewhat puzzled, lent his power to Feng Yuan.

With a wave of his hand, blue light spots followed closely behind the light green dots, surrounding everyone. Gitalien, puzzled, glanced at Feng Yuan, unsure what he intended to do.

"It’s always better to be cautious and besides, I suspect that thing might be causing trouble."

Feng Yuan said with a slight frown, Gitalien looked doubtfully at Feng Yuan, unable to understand what he was referring to. Now they faced many enemies, but Feng Yuan did not specify and was only intently observing the cave in the abstract mountain.

"What is it?"

Liao Yu gripped the little boy’s hand nervously and asked, the environment here was indeed too eerie, forcing him to be cautious. Though surrounded by a group of Divine Beasts, he was still fearful of any accidents, not so much for himself but for the child by his side.

"Just a troublesome little thing, though I didn’t expect there to be so many left in this area."

Feng Yuan said with some headache, and Gitalien suddenly understood what he meant, glancing at Feng Yuan and saying annoyed,

"That thing was originally shattered here; naturally, more would remain in this area. They haven’t been active before, and we couldn’t find them."

With a wave of his hand, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Let’s leave that aside for now, let’s go. Qi Chen, keep a close eye, and try to stay near Agunas."

"Long Boduo, could you please help watch over him..."

"I’ll do it."

Gitalien walked over to Liao Yu with a calm face and said, Liao Yu looked gratefully towards Gitalien. Seeing this, Long Boduo dug the ground silently and walked over to Feng Yuan, rubbing its head against him. Anernia glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"I don’t want to be in charge of him."

"No worries, he shouldn’t encounter any danger."

Feng Yuan said with slight amusement. Although Guo Huai’s system had no real ability to interfere with reality, fortunately, his system was still connected to Him. If there were any emergencies, He would intervene directly to protect everyone. Of course, this was a recently requested assistance from Feng Yuan to Him.

『Ding~ He has agreed to provide protection. If you encounter an emergency that you can’t handle, He will intervene directly to protect you~』

(Thank you.)

Hearing this sudden alert from his system, Guo Huai silently gave thanks. But his system decided not to take credit and explained that it was only because of Feng Yuan’s request that the other party agreed. Observing Feng Yuan, Guo Huai and sighed, knowing that the other party was powerful, but had not expected him to be able to do so much.

Slowly entering the cave, the surroundings gradually darkened, and strange voices constantly sounded in their ears, as if whispering something. But when you tried to listen carefully, the sound was nowhere to be found. Holding Dou Yanlan’s hand, Qi Chen and she exchanged a smile. Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji beside him, thought for a moment, and placed his hand on the back of Xiao Ji’s head.

Turning their heads to look at Feng Yuan, although Xiao Ji didn’t fully understand why he did that, they didn’t dislike the gesture. They had a feeling of inexplicable reassurance, and Xiao Ji silently mused.freёnovelkiss.com
