Chapter 2353 - 2354: The Third Domain Spirit Beast
Chapter 2353 - 2354: The Third Domain Spirit Beast
Although Feng Yuan hadn’t caused any damage, just unfolding something like a Domain on the street still drew the attention of the administrators. Seeing it was Feng Yuan, Liao Yu put on a headache look and said
"What are you up to again, you bastard?"
"Hehe, just testing a little gadget."
Chuckling, Feng Yuan pointed at the Shili Spirit on his shoulder. Liao Yu glanced at the two little guys on Feng Yuan’s shoulders, confused, and said
"What weird Spirit Beast did you pick up this time? But even if you want to test its strength, don’t do it in the middle of the road."
If it were anyone else making trouble, he’d at least drag them back for an investigation.
"I just want to figure out its traits, that’s all. Relax, I’ve got it under control~"
As Feng Yuan spoke, he had Xiao Ji take up a battle stance toward Liao Yu. The Domain unfolded again, and when he saw the Domain disappear on its own as Xiao Ji withdrew its battle stance, Liao Yu seemed to understand something and said
"So this is... a Spirit Beast that can unfold a Domain on its own?"
"More or less. I don’t know when news about this will be made public either."
Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan smiled and said. Agunas looked at Feng Yuan in puzzlement and said
"What are you thinking? Maomu City may be a bit different because of you, but they can’t be coming into contact with Domain Spirit Beasts that fast, unless Tamur..."
"It’s not Tamur. Did you forget about a certain guy? Its situation is a bit special, but strictly speaking, it’s also a Divine Beast from the Mythical Era, you know."
With a mysterious grin, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas, frowning. Agunas flicked its tail—what did he mean "also a Divine Beast from the Mythical Era"?
"What are you two talking about? If it’s some insane top-secret stuff, please don’t discuss it right in front of me."
Liao Yu stared speechlessly at Feng Yuan. On the surface, his identity should allow him access to more classified information than Feng Yuan, but he knew very well that Feng Yuan held far more secrets than he did. Feng Yuan even knew plenty of things he both didn’t know and wasn’t supposed to know.
"Doesn’t really count as some insane secret, but I don’t actually know what it’s thinking either. I’ll give you a heads-up first so you’re at least mentally prepared."
Glancing at Agunas, Feng Yuan briefly explained the matter of Domain Spirit Beasts to Liao Yu. After listening to Feng Yuan’s account, Liao Yu froze; he hadn’t expected a never-destroyed Mythical Era nation to suddenly jump out of nowhere like that.
That alone was already something, and on top of that, there were these special Spirit Beasts that could unfold Domains by themselves—and those Domains were different from the Crystal Domain, capable of moving along with the Spirit Beast. In his view, they were way more practical than Crystal Domains.
No, wait, the main point is...
"Other than the ones around you, we have more Divine Beasts from the Mythical Era here?!"
Knowing the birth restrictions of Domain Spirit Beasts, Liao Yu stared at Feng Yuan in disbelief. The other party just smiled and said
"Why not? Drudgeon is something that remained from the Mythical Era all the way to modern times. Its case is just a bit special, that’s all."
"Born in the Mythical Era but raised in the New Era—by some definition, it’s a special existence that spans across two eras."
Looking at Agunas, Feng Yuan said blandly. Because Drudgeon’s situation was special, in general it was treated as a modern Divine Beast, but Feng Yuan knew very clearly that Drudgeon had already been born in the Mythical Era. It had been in a special juvenile state back then, somewhat similar to Xiao Ji, and only became a complete Divine Beast after the Great Destruction.
What set it apart from Xiao Ji was that Drudgeon’s condition wasn’t caused by being born recently. Normally speaking, Divine Beasts start out at Legendary Level and very quickly step into Divine Beast Level to become true Divine Beasts.
In Feng Yuan’s eyes, Drudgeon of the Mythical Era was more like a Divine Beast that showed up too early—originally a Divine Beast belonging to the New Era, but due to all kinds of accidents, it appeared ahead of time in the Mythical Era.
Precisely because of that, Feng Yuan suspected that Drudgeon very likely qualified for a Domain Spirit Beast as well. And more than that, like Tamur, its Domain Spirit Beast might also have that wide applicability.
After all, Drudgeon’s Attribute was very special. Instead of calling the Mystic Series a single Attribute, it was more like a collection of many types of powers that couldn’t be categorized.
Given how special its Attribute was, Feng Yuan felt that its Domain Spirit Beast might not be limited to the Mystic Series alone, but effective for all Attributes.
And unlike Agunas and the others, Drudgeon had always maintained a certain connection with Cha Mu Town. Even if it created a Domain Spirit Beast, it wouldn’t have nowhere to put it.
Considering its relationship with Yognot, placing the Domain Spirit Beast in Cha Mu Town wouldn’t risk anyone trying anything shady. So in Feng Yuan’s view, Drudgeon was quite likely to be a candidate to create a Domain Spirit Beast.
"Even if you put it that way... it still..."
Flicking its tail, Agunas realized that what Feng Yuan said seemed to make sense. Drudgeon really was special; if it truly spanned two eras, it might indeed have the ability to create a Domain Spirit Beast. It was just that...
"I’ll go ask it myself about this."
Agunas flicked its tail, spoke, and disappeared from in front of Feng Yuan. It couldn’t be helped—Drudgeon’s situation was special, and it was a bit uneasy about it.
Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan in a daze. How did a Domain Spirit Beast pop up again just like that?
"If Drudgeon really creates a Domain Spirit Beast, Maomu City is probably going to have quite a bit of trouble too."
Looking at Feng Yuan, Veronia spoke. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said
"You can’t blame me for that. How was I supposed to know this thing existed? Now that the Hump Mountain Tortoise has shown up, there’s no way Drudgeon hasn’t thought of this."
Compared to the other Divine Beasts of the Mythical Era, Drudgeon definitely wouldn’t shy away from this kind of thing. Feng Yuan even suspected that it might deliberately create a Domain Spirit Beast to boost the advantage of the Tea Wood Town Area.
Nothing he could do—its relationship with Yognot was right there, and Cha Mu Town didn’t need it to babysit anyway, plus it could help the Tea Wood Town Area. Why wouldn’t Drudgeon do it?
After a while, Agunas came back, and it even brought a small book with it. From within that ancient, tiny book, a half-transparent, chibi, cute Spiritual Body popped out, peeking cautiously at everyone.
"This is..."
Seeing the little thing Agunas had brought, Feng Yuan hadn’t expected Drudgeon to be that fast. Agunas flicked its tail and placed the little guy into Feng Yuan’s hand, saying
"Gululing. Pretty much like you guessed—its effect is general-purpose. It randomly derives a corresponding piece of Lost Magic based on the Ultimate Move used, and activating it consumes the user’s power."
The effect was single, but its strength lay in its general applicability. Compared to Tamur’s Shili Spirit, though, it was quite a bit weaker. After all, Lost Magic was drawn randomly based on the Ultimate Move used, and the cost was still paid by the user. It was far from as stable as Shili Spirit.
"Mm, sounds kind of fun, but if it’s random draw, is it completely uncontrollable?"
Feng Yuan looked at Agunas. The other nodded and said
"That’s what Drudgeon told me."
"We’ll only know once we actually try it out."
Feng Yuan didn’t make an easy judgment based on just that bit of information. The main thing was that Lost Magic covered a wide range—no one knew what you’d draw. Even if it was ’corresponding’ to the Ultimate Move, it was hard to determine how exactly it corresponded.
Whether an Offensive Ultimate Move might produce a defensive or even a status-type Lost Magic was anyone’s guess.
Feng Yuan placed the three little guys on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s back and said
"I’ll leave them to you to look after for now~"
If there were only two, Feng Yuan could still keep them on his shoulders. With three, he had no way; one on each side of his shoulders, what, was he supposed to balance one on his head?
Feng Yuan himself didn’t really mind, but judging from how jealous Xiao Ji got, if he really did that, Xiao Ji would probably pick a fight with him again.
Besides, the three little ones were small to begin with, and putting them on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s back wasn’t bad at all. It was just that this made things tough on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound—while those three were on its back, it couldn’t even romp around if it wanted to.
Fortunately, although these three had only just been born, in terms of intelligence they weren’t any lower than normal Spirit Beasts. At least compared to back when Little Ice Cream had just hatched, they were a lot more lively and clever.
Precisely because of that, Feng Yuan dared to put them on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s back. Otherwise, he might still have to ask Kong Qing to help look after them.
"I remember the Special Duty Team has dedicated battle arenas. Lend me one, yeah?"
Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu with a strange smile. The other gave him a look and said
"That’s fine, but I still have to patrol. I’ll talk to the team, you go over yourself."
Although he was really curious about what kind of state Domain Spirit Beasts were actually in, he couldn’t just drop his duties and run off. Despite the regret, Liao Yu still contacted the team. Given Feng Yuan’s relationship with the Special Duty Team, borrowing a field was absolutely no problem.
"Wonder what kind of abilities a Domain Spirit Beast actually has..."
Watching Feng Yuan’s disappearing back, Liao Yu muttered with a hint of envy.
