Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 126 Curiosity_1
Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Curiosity_1
"No, you can’t just run off!"
Teacher Yan stopped Feng Yuan’s seemingly reckless behavior, and Feng Yuan glanced at the White Wolf Deity and said,
"If it’s about safety, there’s really no need to worry—the White Wolf Deity is much stronger than them."
It was only then that everyone realized that the White Wolf Deity, the most powerful being present, had been silently following the group. Qi Xiaoshuang looked at the White Wolf Deity with some anticipation. The deity snorted out a puff of white air, casting a disdainful glance at everyone. With a stomp of its paw, a white ring of light spread from under its paw. As the ring expanded, the figures of the people became hazy and indistinct. Feng Yuan looked at Teacher Yan proudly and said,
"Spatial Concealment, now we can keep up, right?"
Teacher Yan shook her head after a glance at the White Wolf Deity and said no more. Feng Yuan and Qi Xiaoshuang, with the White Wolf Deity, excitedly chased in the direction Captain Yang and others had left. Qi Chen and Yang Hongzhi exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat helpless as they followed, while Teacher Yan sighed and instructed Xiao Tong to carefully protect them. Leading Big Black, they stayed at the rear of the group, vigilantly watching their backs.
Following Captain Yang and his team from a distance, the group arrived before a human settlement and looked at the wooden houses built on the cliffside. Feng Yuan said with some surprise,
"They live so high up?"
"How are we going to get up there now?"
Qi Xiaoshuang looked around and did not notice anything that could be climbed. Feng Yuan looked up and could vaguely see Captain Yang and others ascending to higher ground on a thick vine. After thinking for a while, Feng Yuan glanced at the White Wolf Deity. Qi Xiaoshuang, realizing Feng Yuan’s dissatisfaction, said,
"How are we going to get up now?"
"Let the White Wolf Deity take us up."
"Why?"
"This tribe seems to have external enemies."
Hearing Dou Yanlan’s words, Qi Xiaoshuang looked around with confusion and said oddly,
"Where are the external enemies?"
"They haven’t appeared yet, but judging by this level of vigilance, they’re probably some formidable adversary."
Feng Yuan pointed to a man excellently hidden next to the wooden houses on the rock wall. The man, dressed in coarse clothes and holding a longbow, was attentively observing his surroundings from a spot not easily noticed. Dou Yanlan seemed to remember something and said with a hint of confusion,
"It doesn’t seem like the Tribal Era."
After recalling for a moment, Feng Yuan said softly,
"Strictly speaking, it should be the end of the Tribal Era, transitioning into the Dynasty Era."
"Where did you figure that out from?"
"The clothing—although it looks cheap—it already bears the characteristics of civilization, plus the decorations on those buildings, can pretty much confirm this period. Let’s just hope this place hasn’t yet come under the rule of the dynasty..."
After explaining to Qi Xiaoshuang, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly. Qi Xiaoshuang, not understanding, asked,
"What difference would it make if it were under the dynasty’s rule?"
"A group of people with unknown identities suddenly appearing, possessing powerful military power—what do you think would happen? We’re here to correct history, not cause destruction... If it was ruled by the dynasty, the commotion would be significant if we were discovered..."
"It shouldn’t be, I’ve checked the data. The Maomu City area was only incorporated into the dynasty’s rule in the middle of the Dynasty Era. During that time, to facilitate the rule over the people, the dynasty forcibly established what would become Maomu City, Maomu Castle, and forcibly relocated all the surrounding tribes there."
Yang Hongzhi explained to everyone, and Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, saying,
"If that’s the case, then there’s no need to worry. Let’s go up and take a look."
"Hey! Are you really not worried about causing a big scene?"
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some dissatisfaction. Feng Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying,
"What’s there to worry about? We are in a state of Spatial Concealment, and ordinary people can’t find us."
"It’s rare to travel back in time, how can we not explore around?"
"Exactly—brother, you’re not as informed about this stuff as he is, so stop fussing."
Qi Xiaoshuang, uncharacteristically siding with Feng Yuan, teased Qi Chen, who, somewhat annoyed, hugged Ah Mu and said,
"Then suit yourselves! I’ll just wait for you guys down here!"
"You’re not coming up?"
"No!"
Seeing Qi Chen getting somewhat angry, Dou Yanlan whispered something on the side, Feng Yuan scratched his head, feeling a bit at a loss, Qi Xiaoshuang looked expectantly at the White Wolf Deity, and Yang Hongzhi shook his head to Feng Yuan, saying
"I’ll wait for you guys down here with him."
"You’re not going up either?"
"No, curbing one’s curiosity can avoid unnecessary trouble."
Yang Hongzhi said with a chuckle and then walked over to the side with Najia and Xiao Hei, glancing at Teacher Yan’s serious expression. Feng Yuan, knowing better, didn’t approach to say anything. Under Qi Xiaoshuang’s gaze, the White Wolf Deity gradually grew larger, and when it was big enough to carry two people, it stopped changing.
Watching Feng Yuan and Qi Xiaoshuang riding on the back of the White Wolf Deity, climbing to the highest point of the settlement, Big Cat flapped its wings tightly following them. Teacher Yan shook his head and signaled to Xiao Tong, who nodded back and floated after the two behind the White Wolf Deity.
Qi Chen looked at Teacher Yan, perplexed, and said,
"Why didn’t you stop Feng Yuan, Teacher Yan? He would’ve listened to you if you’d spoken up, wouldn’t he?"
Teacher Yan glanced at Dou Yanlan, who sighed, and said,
"The thing that your little girlfriend understands, you still haven’t grasped?"
Qi Chen, face flushed, sneakily glanced at Dou Yanlan and blurted out,
"What little girlfriend! I do not..."
Seeing Qi Chen’s reaction, Teacher Yan couldn’t help but shake his head with a chuckle, saying
"Isn’t it good that he’s curious about the village and wants to take a look? As his roommate, you should realize that most of the time he’s indifferent to everything..."
Teacher Yan continued, looking at the White Wolf Deity that had already leaped to the top of the settlement, saying
"Besides, with the White Wolf Deity accompanying him, it’s unlikely he’ll get into any serious trouble."
"But..."
Qi Chen sighed as he spoke. Yang Hongzhi, seeing Najia seemingly a bit down, whispered words of comfort to him. The White Wolf Deity landed on the highest building of the settlement, the two dismounting from its back. Looking at the large wooden house carved with rough patterns, Feng Yuan murmured,
"As expected, the highest building is the best."
Qi Xiaoshuang ignored Feng Yuan and leaned over the edge of the wooden platform to survey the wooden houses below. Big Cat had finally flown up as well. Seeing Big Cat wobbly flying towards him, Feng Yuan hurriedly shouted,
"Big Cat! Don’t crash into me!"
Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, Big Cat bumped into Feng Yuan in a daze. Luckily, Big Cat came from the edge of the wooden platform, so the collision only pushed Feng Yuan against the wall of the house. After pushing Big Cat aside and letting it stand up, Feng Yuan, rubbing his waist, slowly stood and picked up Xiao Ji, who had been flung aside from the impact, and soothed the angry chirping toward Big Cat. Feng Yuan, somewhat helpless, said,
"Big Cat, your flying abilities just won’t do. I remember the first time I met you, you crashed into a tree too, didn’t you? This won’t do, Big Cat; how can you be a Spirit Beast of the bird kind yet can’t fly?"
"Wuu..."
Big Cat looked pitifully at Feng Yuan, while Xiao Ji glared discontentedly at Big Cat. Dreaming Dragon Baby excitedly shouted on the side. Although Feng Yuan couldn’t understand what it was saying, he could guess it was definitely instigating. He patted Dreaming Dragon Baby’s head to tell it to behave, then addressed Big Cat,
"Once this is resolved, you’re practicing your flying abilities."
"Wuu..."
"Don’t look so pitiful. When the time comes, I’ll have Xiao Ji supervise you. You can’t keep crashing into trees and people like this!"
As Feng Yuan was scolding Big Cat, he suddenly sensed a mental power passing to him and, feeling puzzled, connected with that mental force. An older male voice sounded in his ear, freēnovelkiss.com
"You’re the companion of those Divine Envoys from earlier, aren’t you?"
"Divine Envoys?"
Feng Yuan responded with a touch of bewilderment through the mental power.
