134: Chapter 134: Split up again?_1 134: Chapter 134: Split up again?_1 “Then let’s get going,” Feng Yuan said as he glanced at the man excitedly standing next to Luo and spoke to Captain Yang who nodded in agreement.
As the downpour continued, everyone had to tread carefully on the muddy hillside.
Qi Xiaoshuang occasionally stole glances at the White Wolf Deity following behind Feng Yuan, who appeared diminished in size.
“Right, didn’t you say that there were no Spirit Beast contracts during this period?
So why can that person utilize the power of a Spirit Beast?” On the journey, Qi Xiaoshuang asked with some confusion.
Meng Binglan replied while paying attention to her footing, “Using the power of a Spirit Beast doesn’t necessarily require a contract.
Based on our research, humans were able to harness the power of Spirit Beasts even before the invention of contracts.”
“That’s not borrowing, that’s infusion.
The power within him was directly infused by the Thousand Tendril Tree, and it’s not the same as us borrowing the power of a Spirit Beast.”
“So it’s like that…” Seeing Meng Binglan pondering over Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Xiaoshuang said curiously, “How do you know about this?”
After traveling some distance, Feng Yuan spotted something, picked up the Greatsword, and ran off to the side.
Captain Yang called out to him discontentedly,
“Don’t run off recklessly!”
This…” Upon seeing Feng Yuan set down the Greatsword and pick up something, Qi Chen called out with some confusion,
“What are you doing now?”
Feng Yuan hesitated with the object in his arms.
The White Wolf Deity stopped and stared, watching Feng Yuan leave the Barrier and struggle in the rain.
“Come back here first!”
Feng Yuan returned holding a massive mushroom while Dreaming Dragon Baby and Big Cat dragged the Greatsword that he had left on the ground behind him.
Inside the Barrier, Xiao Ji, soaked from the rain, shook off the water.
Seeing the Big Mushroom full of wounds in Feng Yuan’s arms, Qi Chen said with some speechlessness, “You always pick things up out of habit…”
“Then what do you think you’re doing?” Seeing Feng Yuan’s guilty expression, Qi Chen said somewhat speechlessly.
Feng Yuan carefully placed the Big Mushroom on the ground and returned outside the Barrier.
He smiled at Dreaming Dragon Baby and Big Cat, still struggling with the Greatsword, hoisted it up again, and came back.
Captain Yang saw Feng Yuan’s actions and said disapprovingly,
“What are you trying to do?”
“It seems to be injured…
Feng Yuan looked at the White Wolf Deity uncertainly, who closed its eyes.
Countless clock phantoms of various shapes appeared beside the White Wolf Deity, and after a while, the phantoms vanished, and the deity opened its eyes and nodded at Feng Yuan.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Yuan lifted the Greatsword, and a rainbow-colored Rain of Life fell upon the Big Mushroom.
Seeing the rain, Meng Binglan said with some perplexity,
“The Rain of Life from Nagna?”
At this time, Nagna simply doesn’t roam around this area.”
Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen with some speechlessness.
After a while, the rain stopped falling, and the Big Mushroom’s wounds on the ground had healed.
Then the quiet girl who had been following behind Captain Yang spoke up,
“This one, it should not have been saved.
Seeing the girl’s statement, Captain Yang looked at her questioningly.
Leanign on Big Cat, an exhausted Feng Yuan pointed to the phantom above the hilt of the Greatsword and said,
“Communication with All Beings is still active; it’s normal for you to understand.”
“Communication with All Beings?”
Gladys looked at Feng Yuan with some incomprehension, and Feng Yuan, looking at the still unconscious Big Mushroom, said,
“A unique skill of the White Wolf Deity, which allows living beings to understand each other’s language.”
“Right, why did you say it’s very dangerous?” Feng Yuan looked at the girl, puzzled.
The girl glanced at the Big Mushroom with fear and said,
Startled by the girl’s words, Captain Yang and Bai Mao pointed their swords at the Big Mushroom on the ground.
Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,
“I’ve already saved it…
anyway, since the injuries are healed, let’s put it somewhere safe and continue our journey.”
Feng Yuan, barely able to stand, was quickly supported by Big Cat.
He shook his head at Qi Chen, who was ready to help, then picked up the Big Mushroom carefully, placed it under a nearby tree, and gasped for breath as he watched the others walk away.
With a wave of his hand, a Crystal Barrier protected the Big Mushroom.
Feng Yuan poked its springy cheeks and whispered,
“I can only help you this far; I hope you’ll be alright~”
After Feng Yuan left, the Big Mushroom slowly opened its eyes, gently touched where Feng Yuan had poked with its round small hands, and wiggled its oval-shaped little feet.
Having caught up with everyone, Feng Yuan took the greatsword from Qi Chen, who was struggling to carry it, and hoisted it onto his shoulder with ease.
Qi Chen couldn’t help but speak in a somewhat speechless manner,
“What’s up with that broken sword of yours?
“Would it still be a greatsword if it wasn’t heavy?”
“Aren’t you afraid of danger doing that?”
Seeing how Feng Yuan simply carried the greatsword on his shoulder, Qi Chen said helplessly, while Feng Yuan glanced at the sword surrounded by a special force and replied,
“No, the blade is sealed.
“Something’s not right here.”
The White Wolf Deity let out a long howl and stopped in its tracks.
The girl looked ahead, puzzled, and said, while Captain Yang scanned the area and asked,
“The old tree shouldn’t be on the path.”
“Then it must be a distortion in space.”
Feng Yuan was about to move forward when Qi Chen, unable to help himself, said,
“At least dry off your clothes first.”
Feng Yuan scratched his head and said helplessly as he looked down at his drenched clothes,
“I forgot when I came out of the barrier.”
The White Wolf Deity glanced at Feng Yuan and gently patted the ground.
A campfire rose in front of Feng Yuan.
Seeing that he seemed ready to dry his clothes right there, Captain Yang considered for a moment before saying,
“You all wait here; we’ll go scout ahead.”
“Isn’t that a bit reckless?”
Yang Hongzhi hesitated for a moment before speaking to Captain Yang, who then looked at him and asked,
“Do you have a better idea?”
“It’s better if we all move together, right?
Considering the spatial chaos around here, we could get lost…”
“Why don’t we just keep going?”
Feng Yuan removed his cloak and shirt, holding them in his hands.
Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said calmly,
“You might catch a cold if you go on like that.”
“Besides, Big Cat and Xiao Ji are soaked too.
Even if you don’t think of yourself, don’t you care about them?”
Feng Yuan scratched his head, smiled brightly, and stood back by the fire to dry his clothes.
After some thought, Meng Binglan suggested to the group,
“I think we could explore the surroundings first.
This forest is basically devoid of humans, right?”
Seeing Meng Binglan looking at her, the girl hesitated before saying,
“This forest is very dangerous.
Adults don’t allow us to get close.”
“Then how come you ended up here?”
Remembering the girl had been found in the forest, Yang Hongzhi felt puzzled.
Hesitating for a while, the girl said,
“I…I wanted to solve the drought…”
Upon hearing the girl’s answer, everyone looked at her in surprise.
Captain Yang fixed his gaze on the girl and asked,
“How did you know the source of the drought was here?”
The girl hesitated as if she didn’t want to respond.
Seeing Captain Yang pressing for an answer multiple times, Wu Feng quickly said,
“If she doesn’t want to tell, let it be.
There’s no need to pry too deeply.”
Captain Yang glanced at Wu Feng, remained silent, and walked away.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen,
“Give your bracelet to Captain Yang and ask him to scout the surroundings.”
“Have you forgotten what happened inside the Emerald Ruins?”
Reminded by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen suddenly remembered and took off the bracelet, approaching Captain Yang with it as he gave a puzzled look, handing over the bracelet.
