Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1063 - 1064 Ambush

"Hi~"

Feng Yuan suddenly patted the shoulder of a man wearing a cap with the brim pulled down and greeted him with a smile. The man turned with a confused expression as if he didn’t understand what was happening, and stealthily glanced in a certain direction. Feng Yuan, still smiling, whispered in his ear,

"This disguise isn’t bad, but have you considered playing a couple with her?"

"What are you talking about!" The man hissed, his face turning slightly red as Feng Yuan chuckled and grabbed the man trying to walk away,

"My dear guest, don’t rush off~"

"Hey, what exactly do you want? I don’t even know you!"

The man looked displeased as he sized up Feng Yuan, who was still angry, and Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"You might as well give up on acting tough, that guy has clearly seen through your disguise."

Of course, it had also recognized this person as Liao Yu. Why? Divine Beasts don’t just recognize faces; soul waves can’t be altered, although Feng Yuan might be an exception. It suspected he had the ability to change soul waves, though it had never seen him do it.

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand."

The man tried to break free, but Feng Yuan really didn’t want to let him go. At a distance, a woman wearing glasses and a white shirt noticed this scene, hesitated, and then gave a helpless smile. As she was about to approach, she caught Feng Yuan’s warning glance, reminding her not to come closer.

Although it was strange, the woman turned away and sat down under a tree nearby, seemingly resting but still occasionally looking around as if waiting for someone.

People passing by didn’t find it odd; after all, her assistant-like appearance might suggest she was waiting for her boss.

After a while, realizing he couldn’t escape, the man looked resignedly at Feng Yuan and said in a low voice,

"What exactly do you want from me? I have things to do."

"Help me capture someone."

"Huh?"

The man blinked in surprise, looking at Feng Yuan strangely. Why would he ask for his help in capturing someone, considering his strength along with Agunas and Veronia? They could easily trap others in a minute, so why involve him? And if there were any issues, they should directly be referred to the Special Duty Team. Why ask him to capture someone?

"Cut it out, you’re not happy even when I am handing you a contribution on a silver platter."

Feng Yuan, slightly annoyed, let go of the grip he had on Liao Yu. Liao Yu rubbed his shoulder and then asked Feng Yuan,

"Contribution? What have you discovered? Wait a second, what’s with your ears?"

It was then that Liao Yu noticed Feng Yuan’s pair of Husky ears occasionally moving. Feng Yuan, with a proud smile, said,

"Animal transformation. It enhances hearing in a small range. What do you think?"

"It looks weird."

Liao Yu said dryly, his ears drooping down. Feng Yuan asked softly,

"Is it really that bad?"

"What have you gotten yourself into?"

"Hey? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Guo Huai approaching, Feng Yuan was surprised. Guo Huai, noticing the system’s red tags and furrowing his brows, knew those hostile targets weren’t aiming for him. However, the strength of those people didn’t seem great; why would they dare target Feng Yuan?

"You’d better be careful, it looks like someone wants to harm you. Though their power doesn’t seem great, I think they are not that simple."

Guo Huai whispered this as he brushed past Feng Yuan. It was then that he noticed Feng Yuan’s Husky ears continually moving around. Speechless, he now understood that Feng Yuan had already detected the enemies.

"Their strength isn’t great? Probably because they haven’t factored in their technological creations."

Feng Yuan turned and said in a low voice as he watched Guo Huai, who seemed to be saying something to Qi Chen. A moment later, Guo Huai turned back and whispered to Feng Yuan,

"Technological creations? Could it be those people?"

Though the voice was subdued, when Feng Yuan saw Guo Huai, he realized that if one were to read his lips, it would result in a different conversation. Unexpectedly, he was that cautious? Feng Yuan couldn’t help but smile, though he had been doing so the entire time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken directly but would have used a form of mind transmission, which was safer.

"Probably not, if it were them, they wouldn’t dare appear near me."

Feng Yuan casually said, not caring at all, "Those guys are now being frantically hunted by Divine Beasts, and I have two Divine Beasts right here with me. Those guys must be insane to dare to come near me, isn’t that just walking into a trap?"

"Hunters?"

Agunas narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of a dangerous glint, while Veronia, twirling her parasol, turned to look at Agunas and asked,

"How could they? They aren’t fools, right? Why would they willingly walk into a trap?"

Flicking his tail, Agunas lowered his head and muttered,

"Maybe..."

"Whatever it is, just catch them later."

Feng Yuan, again unconcerned, said, and somehow, in his hand appeared an ancient book. Xiao Ji, having heard Feng Yuan’s words, looked around cautiously, but it still couldn’t pinpoint where the enemy actually was. Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Hopefully, you’re prepared."

"So, what did you come here for?"

Feng Yuan curiously looked at Guo Huai, not quite believing that the latter was here just for a stroll. Giving Feng Yuan a sidelong glance, Guo Huai said,

"I’m looking for a few friends to help, as I am uncertain about some potion effects."

"You’re not using those Stray Spirit Beasts as test subjects, are you?"

Remembering something, Feng Yuan eyed Guo Huai with a hint of suspicion. With an exasperated look at Feng Yuan, Guo Huai said,

"How could I? I’m just asking for their help, although their circumstances are a bit peculiar..."

Guo Huai seemed a bit distressed as he spoke. Out of curiosity, Feng Yuan looked toward Guo Huai and said,

"Besides testing potions, how else could they help you? Don’t tell me they can also help you make potions?"

"What do you think?"

Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan, seemingly not inclined to explain. Liao Yu, however, remembered something, with a strange look eyed Guo Huai, and said,

"You’re not seriously considering getting that improper rabbit to help you, are you?"

"The improper rabbit?"

Feng Yuan, utterly confused, looked at Guo Huai. Were there other interesting Spirit Beasts around? Nodding his head, Guo Huai said,

"Pretty much, although it’s a bit inappropriate, as long as it’s not led astray, it’s still a good teacher..."

Liao Yu, speechless, looked at Guo Huai and said,

"You really are daring, using that rabbit’s potions, which we wouldn’t even touch. Aren’t you afraid something unexpected might happen?"

"It should be fine."

Guo Huai wasn’t very sure, speaking hesitantly. Though his system helped analyze the potion effects, it wasn’t entirely accurate, but... that rabbit’s skills were really not bad. If it weren’t for those somewhat questionable potions, he’d have thought that it might be chased after by ordinary people like a celebrity.

"Rabbit... improper potions? It seems there are quite a few Spirit Beasts that fit this description."

Feng Yuan eyed Guo Huai skeptically. Rabbit-type Spirit Beasts were already numerous in concocting potions. As for those ’improper’ potions, to him, they seemed pretty normal. Maybe the perception varies between humans and Spirit Beasts, and it was likely an unexpected result?

"It’s the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit. I don’t know when it came to Maomu City, but luckily not many people know about it; otherwise, we’d be in trouble."

Remembering that rabbit, Liao Yu said with a pained expression. Seeing his reaction, Feng Yuan grew more interested, pulling Liao Yu along like a good brother and said,

"What’s up with the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit? I remember it’s skilled in making potions, right? Isn’t it normal for it to occasionally produce some odd potions?"

Breaking free from Feng Yuan’s arm around his neck, Liao Yu looked in the direction of Stray Spirit Beast Paradise and said,

"That’s not just occasionally. Who knows what weird habits it picked up somewhere, but its potions always have aphrodisiac effects. I really don’t understand what it’s up to."

"Uh... what is that rabbit up to..."

Hearing Liao Yu’s words, Feng Yuan was momentarily stunned. As previously mentioned, the aesthetic senses of Spirit Beasts and humans are not quite the same, not to mention that the potions are even more peculiar. To achieve the same effect, the ingredients and methods differ completely for Spirit Beasts and humans - they are entirely different potions. Why then is that rabbit so interested in those effective for humans?

"I don’t know... that’s why it’s troublesome. It’s a dangerous character..."

Rubbing his temples, Liao Yu spoke helplessly. They were afraid of uninformed people accidentally consuming its potions, which would lead to trouble.
