Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2131 - 2132: Battle Interlude

Compared to the tense passengers in the cabin, Feng Yuan and the others seemed quite relaxed. Even Qi Chen, who could only use the Hao Chun Bird to fend off the insect swarm, wasn’t really worried.

After all, the presence of Agunas and the others ensured there was no need to worry about safety. The only focus was probably on the training effect.

And this left Qi Chen somewhat regretful, because he couldn’t deploy Ah Mu to meet the enemy. Of course, even if he did, Qi Chen knew that facing the corrupt bee swarm, Ah Mu would be completely useless.

Barrier-type ultimate moves were completely ineffective against the corrupt bee swarm, and even Ah Mu’s attacks like the Seistal Stele ultimate move were indiscriminate large-scale attacks. Unlike Xiao Ji, who due to lack of control force could only choose indiscriminate bombardment, Ah Mu’s very low speed meant it could only choose this kind of indiscriminate attack to ensure it hit the enemy every time.

Thus, even if Qi Chen could deploy Ah Mu, he had no way to command Ah Mu to attack, or else those ultimate moves might just sink the ferry first.

"Without the Crystal Domain, Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound really can’t cooperate effectively."

Stroking his chin, Feng Yuan said helplessly, "There’s no way. Although they can play tricks like having the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound ignite Xiao Ji’s ultimate move, the actual effect doesn’t compare to each fighting on their own."

Because the ignition process of the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound involves consuming the energy released by Xiao Ji’s ultimate move, making the flames larger, but in terms of power, one plus one is less than two.

Long Boduo looked at Feng Yuan puzzled and asked,

"How else can they cooperate?"

Although Long Boduo knows Xiao Ji is a Divine Beast, these beasts have their own roles. Even if they can freely change roles, their best role stays fixed.

Just like Long Boduo, whose actual role is not a strong attacker but a disrupter and supporter, just like Dou Yanlan’s Cotton. Only because it is strong enough, it can act as a strong attacker in general battles.

While Xiao Ji is clearly a strong attacker, although it has ultimate moves in other aspects, it is not really suited to those types of combat. The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound is even more unsuitable for support since it can only strengthen its offensive capabilities.

In Long Boduo’s view, Feng Yuan trying to make Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound reach perfect cooperation is really a troublesome task and thankless.

As for them not being able to cooperate?

No, it’s not to that extent. Xiao Ji can indeed take on different roles; it’s just not quite as strong compared to when it’s in an attacking role. But unless facing extremely formidable foes, this difference isn’t significant.

Anyway, Long Boduo thinks letting them each fight is easier for Feng Yuan. Besides, Feng Yuan himself isn’t weak. Even in the Beast Tamer Tournament, there’s no rule against beastmasters taking action...

Though the attacking corrupt bee swarm is numerous, Long Boduo and the group of Divine Beasts, except for Veronia who charged into the swarm for a good bout of venting, stood silently on the deck watching Xiao Ji and the others fight.

Originally the nightly ferry troubles would just need special insect repellent tools to pass safely, but now they could freely use ultimate moves, altering this troublesome nighttime journey through the Serene Forest Sea.

After a long fight, perhaps because they were about to leave the corrupt bee swarm’s area, those black clouds had been thoroughly scattered, and the swarm became sparse. Having vented enough, Veronia ignored the remaining swarm and returned to the deck.

At this moment, even Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound seemed somewhat fatigued. There wasn’t a defensive necessity; they just needed to keep using offensive ultimate moves, but continuous wide-range attacks still took a toll on them.

"Alright, back you go. Leave the rest to Agunas~"

Seeing Xiao Ji’s and the others’ weariness, Feng Yuan smiled and waved, even Xing Bo was looking drained.

But at that moment, Agunas made a move, tossing the ancient book, clock shadows emerged, and the remaining corrupt bee swarm instantly turned into ash.

In human form, Veronia extended her right hand and squeezed, the mirror illusions shattered like a crushed crystal ball, the fragmented Mirror Space pieces severely damaging the attacking corrupt bee swarm.

As the mirror illusions disappeared, the furious corrupt bee swarm calmed down. After Veronia’s disturbance, the swarm numbers along this route were halved.

Unlike the Plague Fog Insect, the corrupt bee swarm cannot proliferate infinitely quickly. Thus, when their numbers fall below a certain point, their desire to attack drops infinitely.

The swarm heading towards the ferry suddenly stopped advancing and dispersed quickly; even those nearby dispersed towards the thick woods on the banks.

"Didn’t expect these things to be smarter than the Plague Fog Insects."

Seeing this, Veronia was somewhat surprised. The Plague Fog Insects, being special dangerous creatures condensed from energy, continued attacking even when severely damaged, unlike these smart corrupt bee swarms, who at least knew continuing would lead to total annihilation, thus ignoring the ferry.

Seizing this safety moment, Feng Yuan took Xiao Ji and the others back to the cabin. Although staying on the deck would be fine, Feng Yuan knew Xiao Ji and the others had exhausted their stamina; remaining on deck was pointless.

As they entered the cabin, Feng Yuan and the others heard compliments and whispers from other passengers. There’s no denying that their display had been rather astonishing.

This was the first time the others saw individuals using ultimate moves openly on the night ferry without causing trouble.

Of course, they actually knew that Legendary Level beastmasters could easily handle these troublesome creatures; it’s just that these masters basically wouldn’t take a ferry. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

For them, riding their Flying Spiritual Beasts would swiftly get them to Linqiu City, no need for the hassle of waiting for a ferry.

Gazing out at the fog-shrouded black woods, Feng Yuan missed the influx of dangerous creatures. Unfortunately, with the corrupt bee swarm repelled, aside from water sounds and strange calls from unknown sources on the banks, no other threats approached the ferry.

After asking other passengers, Feng Yuan learned the ferry was halfway there, usually encountering Plague Fog Insects, corrupt bee swarms, and in the last section, Compound Insect Swarms and peculiar Mushroom Demons.

If plants could move, they’d typically be Spirit Beasts, but those Mushroom Demons were different. Though acting like Plant-type Spirit Beasts and using spore spray akin to Spirit Beast ultimate moves, they’re genuinely not Spirit Beasts.

Human researchers don’t know why such peculiar entities emerged in the Serene Forest Sea.

With more foes to appear, Feng Yuan couldn’t just sleep off. It wouldn’t look good if the team helped while he slept, would it?

"Long Boduo, could those Mushroom Demons be linked to the Netherworld? I recall quite a few mobile plants there."

Supporting his head, gazing out the window, Feng Yuan asked Long Boduo beside him. Chewing on a snack bought from Lin Du City, Long Boduo raised his head, thought, then said,

"That possibility exists, considering this place is where the Netherworld intersects. But... Netherworld plants don’t roam around."

The plants in the Netherworld, due to soul fragments, often seem to come alive, but typically stay put, rarely wandering.

"Hopefully, nothing stirs up... really... Oh, Xiao Ji, if you’re tired, sleep first. Later we’ll use the Insect-Repellent Lamp, no need to bother you."

Sighing, Feng Yuan gazed at the droopy-eyed Xiao Ji. With time already late, and their recent battles draining Xiao Ji’s stamina.

The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound lay asleep, while Xiao Ji, perhaps trying to accompany Feng Yuan, stayed awake.

Giving a discontented chirp, Xiao Ji, urged by Feng Yuan, shifted to Eggshell Chicken form, curling up in front of him, and rested.
