"This is..."
"It must have been the injuries it sustained when the other spirit beasts expelled it."
The shadow of Agunas glanced at the battered Little Green Snake in front of Feng Yuan. As a Common Level Spirit Beast whose evolution lines are already somewhat overwhelmingly abundant, and known to lack a powerful evolution form, coupled with their unappealing appearances, not many Beastmasters are willing to form contracts with them.
Feng Yuan crouched down and gently stroked the Little Green Snake, who only slightly lifted its eyelids to glance at Feng Yuan before closing them again. Seeing that the snake seemed resigned to its fate, Feng Yuan smiled and said,
"Thinking of seeking death? Too bad, I won’t allow it~"
He pulled out the pitch-black ancient book and swung it with force, releasing the Rain of Life that fell slowly following Feng Yuan’s motion. Under the healing of the Rain of Life, the wounds on the Little Green Snake’s body quickly began to heal.
Feeling almost completely restored, the Little Green Snake suddenly got up and, after looking at Feng Yuan with grateful eyes for a while, quickly slithered into the forest. Feng Yuan said helplessly,
"Hey! Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet!"
Realizing that the Little Green Snake disappeared in the blink of an eye, Feng Yuan stood up with a smile and said,
"What an interesting little fellow."
Catching a glimpse of Feng Yuan, the shadow of Agunas said calmly,
"As the number of spirit beasts continues to grow, it’s only natural that their struggles will occur."
"I know that too, but apart from natural enemies, they still won’t be fatal to each other~"
Agunas’s shadow, a little puzzled, swished its tail and said after a moment of surprise,
"The number has almost reached the limit now?"
"Of course, any more and It would not be able to bear it."
"That’s better... at least they don’t need to worry about those excessively brutal jungle rules..."
Feng Yuan smiled faintly without replying, Dreaming Dragon Baby curled up fearfully and worriedly on Big Cat’s head, while Xiao Ji vigilantly scanned the surroundings as if expecting enemies to suddenly appear.
Pomiti snuggled in Feng Yuan’s arms, happily enjoying snacks. After Feng Yuan’s constant efforts in feeding snacks to Pomiti, who should not have undergone any changes in weight, he had somehow gotten significantly heavier. If it weren’t for the checkup revealing Pomiti had only gained weight due to excessive energy storage, Feng Yuan might have wondered if he accidentally triggered some kind of evolution form in Pomiti.
"Who are you! What are you doing here!"
As Feng Yuan approached a quaint village, suddenly, a man dressed in the uniform of the Guard Squad leaped down from a nearby tree, his spear pointed at Feng Yuan as he asked warily, his gaze drifting towards the Dreaming Dragon Baby atop Big Cat’s head. Feng Yuan responded calmly,
"You can ask it, although it doesn’t seem very keen on going home."
The man looked puzzledly where Feng Yuan was looking and saw Dreaming Dragon Baby; he then let out a surprised gasp when a scarlet Flood Dragon flew down from the tree. Feng Yuan looked curiously at the tree canopy and said in astonishment,
"Spatial expansion?"
"What spatial expansion?"
The man, seeing the Flood Dragon communicating with Dreaming Dragon Baby, turned back to Feng Yuan, puzzled by his comment. Feng Yuan pointed at the Flood Dragon and said,
"Can that spot really hide it?"
The scarlet Flood Dragon was about five or six meters long, which may only be considered a child among its kind, but such a large body size couldn’t possibly be obscured by the canopy of a mere tree. Understanding what Feng Yuan meant, the man smiled and said,
"It wasn’t hiding there; it just came out from the Spirit Beast Space."
"And here I thought you were so bored as to have given the tree spatial expansion," Feng Yuan said with a mischievous grin. At that moment, it seemed the Flood Dragon communicated something to the man, whose expression suddenly changed as he said to Feng Yuan,
"Although I’d like to entertain you properly, according to the Special Bureau’s information, a group from the G Organization is heading this way. I don’t know what their purpose is, but..."
Seeing the man’s glance toward Dreaming Dragon Baby, Feng Yuan laughed and said,
"Okay then, we’ll be on our way right away."
"No, wait! Let me call for backup."
Seeing the man running back to the village, Feng Yuan looked at the red flood dragon with some confusion and said,
"What’s the matter with him?"
The flood dragon kept its gaze fixated on the Dreaming Dragon Baby perched on Big Cat’s head and ignored Feng Yuan. After a while, the man returned with another person and said to him,
"Hong Xin, I’m counting on you next."
After glancing at Feng Yuan, Hong Xin calmly said,
"Go and come back quickly. Be safe on the road."
Hong Xin planted his halberd into the ground and leaned it against a tree trunk while watching Feng Yuan. The man then said to Feng Yuan,
"Come with me, I’ll take you to Sleepy Dragon Valley."
"Is that really necessary?"
Feng Yuan said with some surprise as the Dreaming Dragon Baby chirped in discontent. The man said sternly,
"If their target is our village, that’s fine, but if it isn’t..."
"Then they’re dead for sure."
Feng Yuan spread his hands and said, while the shadowy Agunas remained silent, watching Feng Yuan. It knew full well that Feng Yuan wasn’t joking. The man, unaware of Feng Yuan’s strength, glanced at him and said,
"You’re underestimating them; those lunatics are too dangerous..."
"Xiu Ping, hurry up and take them to Sleepy Dragon Valley. We’ve got it covered here; if they want to get past us, they’re welcome to try!"
Hong Xin said to Xiu Ping. Feng Yuan looked at Xiu Ping and, not bothering to explain, let the other lead the way.
"Damn it! What on earth are Hong Xin and the others doing?"
Xiu Ping, who was leading the way ahead, suddenly cursed under his breath. The red flood dragon soared into the sky, and at that moment, a dark orb suddenly flew between Xiu Ping and Feng Yuan and exploded violently. Surrounded by darkness, Feng Yuan moved to Big Cat’s side with the help of the faint blue flames around him and said to Xiao Ji at his feet,
"No need to rush, let’s wait and see what happens first."
The faint blue flames barely lit up the surroundings. After waiting for some time, suddenly a light slashed through the darkness, gradually brightening the area. Feng Yuan frowned slightly and murmured in confusion,
"Blade of Wind? Can the Blazing Jiao Dragon learn this move?"
"It shouldn’t be the Blazing Jiao Dragon. A Fire Attribute flood dragon can’t possibly learn Wind Attribute techniques."
The shadowy Agunas said calmly, its form beginning to solidify. Just then, a cry of an eagle resounded high in the sky. Feng Yuan looked up to see a white-tailed eagle attacking another eagle cloaked in darkness. As Feng Yuan wondered, Little Green Snake emerged from the bushes hissing at Feng Yuan as if trying to tell him something.
"It’s saying we should hurry; the Gale Battle Eagle won’t last much longer."
Feng Yuan looked at the Little Green Snake with some confusion and said,
"Why would it help us?"
Seeing that Feng Yuan wasn’t moving, Little Green Snake grew increasingly agitated and hissed urgently. The shadowy Agunas spoke calmly,
"It’s urging you to hurry. The Gale Battle Eagle took great pains to ask for help; the enemy won’t cling to their opponents."
Just then, lightning thundered across the sky. The Gale Battle Eagle appeared startled by the thunder, and after glancing in the direction of Little Green Snake, turned and flew off. Before leaving, it let out a long cry and launched a flurry of indiscriminate Turbulent Wind Blades at its pursuer, leaving the black eagle temporarily immobilized and forced to protect itself.
Seeing this, Little Green Snake looked a bit desperate, but moments later, its gaze hardened as it slithered to Feng Yuan’s side, vigilantly scanning their surroundings. Feng Yuan said with some confusion,
"Are you here to repay a favor? But you didn’t have to risk yourself, did you?"
Little Green Snake glared at Feng Yuan as if blaming him for not escaping sooner. Suddenly, a giant snake burst out from the nearby bushes, targeting Big Cat beside Feng Yuan. Little Green Snake hissed at Feng Yuan before lunging forward. Feng Yuan watched speechlessly as Little Green Snake was severely injured by the giant snake with one strike. He could only command Big Cat to pull Little Green Snake back and said,
"What were you doing charging in... Poisonous Bal is your evolved form, with Rare Level strength. How could you possibly defeat it..."
As Little Green Snake hissed a few times in despair and fainted, Feng Yuan eyed the attacking Poisonous Bal, about to instruct Xiao Ji to take action when he noticed something odd about the shadows around them. A crafty smile crept onto Feng Yuan’s face.
