Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1070 - 1071: Intelligence

"Long Boduo? What are you doing here?"

Feng Yuan scratched Long Boduo’s head, somewhat puzzled, while Long Boduo snorted, cocked his head, and shifted his position, saying,

"This spot needs it too, yes yes~"

Xiao Ji watched Long Boduo warily, emitting a disgruntled chirp, and as Feng Yuan stroked Long Boduo’s mane, he asked in bewilderment,

"Is there something urgent you need to tell me?"

When they had parted, Long Boduo had mentioned he was going to inspect the Netherworld for a while; his sudden appearance suggested that something might have happened. Long Boduo then remembered the purpose of his visit to Feng Yuan and said,

"I came to tell you that something strange has taken a portion of the Netherworld’s Breath of Death. I don’t know what for, but it seems to be in the vicinity of Xingchan."

"Xingchan? The Breath of Death... is it an internal device of some sort?"

Something crossed Feng Yuan’s mind, and he gave Long Boduo a meaningful look. After Feng Yuan spoke, the latter recalled for a moment and replied,

"It seems... yes, it’s somewhat reminiscent of relics from the Mythical Era, but it’s not quite right."

"I see, thank you~"

With a smile, he scratched Long Boduo’s head, then Feng Yuan sneakily glanced at Agunas. As expected, Agunas looked extremely angry. Veronia glanced at Agunas and remarked,

"Isn’t that quite... fortunate?"

Although Feng Yuan didn’t know what the other party intended to do with that Breath of Death, dealing with this was much simpler than handling other strange and bizarre matters. Agunas raised his head, eyes glinting fiercely, and exclaimed,

"What on earth do they want to do! Have they gone mad?"

"Even if you curse them out inside the Divine Beast information network, it won’t make a difference."

Veronia gave Agunas an exasperated look and continued; they had already quarreled in the Divine Beast information network before, to no avail. Then Long Boduo snorted indignantly and said with displeasure,

"This is too much! Do they really think we can be bullied so easily?"

Hearing Long Boduo’s words, Feng Yuan stared blankly for a moment and then asked Veronia in amazement,

"What happened with them now?"

Though unsure of what had transpired, the expression on Long Boduo’s face made it easy to guess that probably some Divine Beasts from smaller nations had said something inappropriate in the Divine Beast information network. After all, what did it have to do with Long Boduo if they released the Breath of Death on the borders and caused massive extinctions? It wouldn’t affect the Netherworld anyway.

"A bunch of idiots, they called Long Boduo a busybody and insulted him..."

Veronia, while teasing a puppy-like Spirit Beast without even lifting her head, had grown too lazy to pay attention to such trivial matters. Even in her prime, she wasn’t so foolish. Despite her disdain for other Divine Beasts, she wouldn’t engage in such inexplicable enmity.

As a Ghost-type Divine Beast, Long Boduo wouldn’t bother with what you do in the real world unless you provoked it. And now, out of the blue, they had attracted its ire. She could already see Long Boduo calling up his friends, seemingly planning a big ruckus in the country sheltered by Nierlat and the others.

This was sheer stupidity... Veronia shook her head speechlessly. It made sense for Agunas to be angry. After all, that place wasn’t only inhabited by humans but also by Spirit Beasts that lived alongside them. If the Breath of Death from the Netherworld really was released on the borders, those Spirit Beasts following humans wouldn’t be able to escape either.

"They really have the nerve..."

Old Wei, busy writing something, revealed a cruel smirk to himself. The candlelight flickered, rendering the room somewhat dim. And in the shadowy corner, something seemed to lurk, even appearing quite angered.

"He probably knows about this already. Although he deals with these things quite easily, we can’t just do nothing, right?"

As if conversing with someone, Old Wei put his pen back in its place, rose to his feet, and walked into the shadows—a dark claw extended from the enveloping darkness, snuffing out the flickering candle, plunging the entire room into pitch blackness immediately.

"Don’t be angry~ How about this?"

Seeing Agunas still fuming, Feng Yuan lifted up the One-leaf Fox he had adorned with garish decorations, and the creature resignedly let Feng Yuan manipulate it as he pleased. Agunas gave a blank stare at the One-leaf Fox in Feng Yuan’s hands and then asked,

"What are you... doing?"

The One-leaf Fox was decked out in all sorts of odd decorations and clothes by Feng Yuan, looking like something out of an abstract painting. Putting the One-leaf Fox down, Feng Yuan said triumphantly,

"My craftsmanship isn’t bad, right? Isn’t it cute?"

Glancing at the One-leaf Fox that was trying to get rid of those strange decorations, Qi Chen said speechlessly,

"I can’t see the cute, it just looks very strange."

Feng Yuan had dressed the One-leaf Fox in such bizarre outfits that it now resembled a creature from an abstract painting. It would have been odd to think it looked normal.

"Hehe, you just don’t get it~"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said unapologetically. Qi Chen glanced at him and asked,

"How are these Spirit Beasts doing?"

If it hadn’t been for Feng Yuan wanting to check up on the health of the Spirit Beasts, they might have already left. Instead, this guy ended up dolling up the One-leaf Fox?

"Pretty good, except for some problems caused by battles and diet, the rest are fine."

Feng Yuan looked around at the Spirit Beasts running back and forth and said. Qi Chen was taken aback and asked,

"So there are still problems?"

"Not really. Though these can be considered hidden injuries, they’re not major issues. After all, most wild Spirit Beasts have these kinds of problems; there’s no need to fuss over them."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly, casting a glance at Qi Chen. Qi Xiaoshuang, holding the White Shadow Wolf, came over and said,

"They’ve already done enough. They are not our Spirit Beasts, after all, so there’s no need to go to such lengths."

Beside them, Agunas swished its tail and commented,

"Exactly."

While they seemed like mere issues of battle and diet, to truly cure them, one would have to ensure they receive immediate and proper treatment after battles and pay attention to nutritional balance in their diet. The details in their upbringing are numerous, and aside from the fact that they couldn’t spare that many personnel, even if they could, where would the money come from?

This endeavor would require a lot of money and was unnecessary. Beastmasters paid attention to these details only because they needed their tamed beasts to maintain maximum combat effectiveness. Meanwhile, wild Spirit Beasts did not require this, as these non-fatal hidden injuries only affected their combat power.

Spirit Beasts living in the city had an easier time finding food than those in the wild, at least not needing to ensure they controlled a resource-rich territory with a strong group.

"I didn’t expect that a moment of kindness would lead to such a large harvest."

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at the Spirit Beasts and smiled as she spoke. Even though there was currently no solution, at least now they had the time to prepare, as opposed to being caught off guard by a sudden attack. She didn’t believe those people would dare to make a move now.

Not to mention, the wild Spirit Beasts might not have been driven out yet. If they made a move now, most Divine Beasts would not be reasonable with them.

As for Spirit Beasts following humans? Different Divine Beasts had different attitudes. Some, like Agunas, treated them the same as wild Spirit Beasts, while others did not, believing that these Spirit Beasts were no longer under their protection, and would not intervene no matter what happened.

But for wild Spirit Beasts, anyone who dared to meddle was preparing to face the wrath of most Divine Beasts.

"Indeed, had they not done this, even I would not have detected the anomaly."

Hugging Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said. Without the Stray Spirit Beast Paradise, he would at most see stray Gale Wolves and the like on the streets, but so what? Even though the habitat of those stray Spirit Beasts was not near Maomu City, it was not strange for them to wander everywhere, and no one would notice anything out of the ordinary unless they gathered together like this.

Of course, if there were organizations like the Special Duty Team with a statistical system, they might be able to notice through data analysis. But who would bother collecting such data without reason?

As he patted the head of a young Gale Wolf, Feng Yuan said with a smile, fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Actually, this is also not bad. After this incident, other cities might follow suit, and that would improve the living conditions for those stray wild Spirit Beasts~"

Xiao Ji, discontented, nudged the young Gale Wolf aside and rubbed its head against Feng Yuan with a look of grievance. After patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas, who was still angry, and said,

"Don’t worry about it. Isn’t it good that we now know what they’re up to? I’ll just have Eclipse and Xilnais keep an eye on the Divine Land Region. If they really continue to make a move..."

A glint of ferocity flashed in Feng Yuan’s eyes as he continued,

"Let’s show them what the true ’Breath of Death’ is."
