Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1154 - 1155: The Person Behind

"Tired of playing so soon?"

The humanoid Veronia who was lying on a beach chair looked somewhat puzzled at Feng Yuan, who was walking back with Xiao Ji. By now, everyone had scattered since each person had different interests. Although Pomiti was drowsy, she really enjoyed riding the waves and was still pulling Kong Qing, playing in the surfing area.

Big Cat was following Feng Yuan, but he had to take care of Xiao Ji’s emotions and couldn’t play on the water slides for too long. Little Ice Cream, on the other hand, went diving with Najia. With Najia and Yang Hongzhi looking after her, Feng Yuan was not worried about her running into any accidents.

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan were still playing with the water amusement facilities. Glancing over at Veronia, who had gone to rest in the man-made beach area at some unknown time, Feng Yuan found it strange and said

"Do you... not like playing in the water?"

Putting down the drink in her hand, Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"I don’t like squeezing in with a bunch of strange humans."

"But if you’re tired of playing, there’s an activity over there."

Remembering something, Veronia pointed to a place surrounded by a group of people and said. Agunas glanced in that direction, floated up a distance to observe, and said,

"A dodge water balloon competition? Seems to be an entertainment event?"

"Dodge water balloon?"

Upon hearing Agunas’s words, Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment. What kind of odd event was this? Didn’t they consider that most guests’ Spirit Beasts were not skilled in speed when planning the event?

Although they might use the Spirit Beasts’ Ultimate Moves to launch or even control the speed of the water balloons, wouldn’t that make it too hard to ensure fairness?

"There’s no reward for the event, or rather, it just rewards some desserts."

Agunas, floating in the air, had also figured out the specifics. There was nothing unusual about it; just like Qi Chen’s Ah Mu, if it participated in this event, it would be almost impossible to dodge the water balloons unless it stayed very far away, but...

"Want to go take a look?"

Hearing there were desserts, Feng Yuan’s eyes lit up. Although those foods might not be as delicious as what he made himself, if they were confident enough to offer them as prizes, they probably wouldn’t be too bad. They might even be specialty desserts.

Fluffing up its feathers, Xiao Ji let out a loud eagle cry. It decisively agreed since it could tell that Feng Yuan hadn’t played enough at the water slides; he could not leave it alone while playing too long with Big Cat. Slightly ashamed, Xiao Ji naturally would not contest Feng Yuan’s suggestion.

"So many Droplet Bubbles; they’ve really put in a lot of investment."

Squeezing into the crowd and seeing the sky-blue water balloon-shaped Spirit Beasts spraying water balloons, Feng Yuan said in surprise. Delong Tower walked up next to Feng Yuan while holding a bottle of drink and said,

"That’s not surprising, considering it’s those people. But I didn’t expect their person-in-charge actually doesn’t know who the mysterious patron behind them really is."

"The mysterious patron?"

Feng Yuan turned his head to look at Delong Tower with some confusion, and the latter smiled faintly and tossed a few gold cards to Feng Yuan saying,

"Here, you can use these."

Seeing Delong Tower’s smug expression, Feng Yuan examined the gold card with surprise and asked,

"Is this... the property of The People of the Great Sea?"

"No, and The People of the Great Sea aren’t a single entity; they are divided into many tribes, some similar to the current Alliance."

Delong Tower shook its head and denied, having a special feeling toward The People of the Great Sea, after all, they had respectfully worshipped and offered sacrifices to it for so many years, and it naturally had taken care of them in private. However, thanks to the reminder from Lorraine Tower, it hadn’t gotten too close to them.

"That is..."

"Wang Yu, that is their business, but I have some suspicions, they may have other purposes."

Squinting its eyes, Delong Tower spoke enigmatically. Perhaps the other party aimed to capitalize on their advantage in water-associated Spirit Beasts to earn more resources on the land of the Divine Land Region. Yet what was dubious was that the construction of this Water Park took very little time. If their target was Great Xia, what exactly were they planning to do?

"Investing here with the war approaching? That’s quite the confidence."

Feng Yuan smiled faintly, aware of what Delong Tower was suspecting, and then, as if recalling something, said,

"It shouldn’t be so unwise, and besides, if they really can’t stand up, there’s not much to be done, right?"

"It’s unlikely that they’re planning to return to land. After all, they’ve had numerous chances and already given up. Having remained at sea for too long, they’re not very adapted to life on land anymore."

Shaking its head as if talking to itself, Delong Tower commented. In fact, from the time they fled to the sea to the modern era, Wang Yu had many chances to return. However, the rulers of the time all gave up on the idea. But considering the perspective, it does make sense; after all, the wars on land were much more intense than those at sea.

Especially since Feng Yuan altered the maritime history of the Divine Land, leading to the disappearance of both the gloriously rampant era of Pirates and many of their gangs. Compared to the land, where wars erupted from time to time, holding onto islands wasn’t an unacceptable decision.

Even during the unification period, The People of the Great Sea were not very interested in living on land. Once the resources they lacked could be easily obtained from the land, they preferred to live peacefully by the great sea. This also meant that, apart from Nanyu, no other nations from land would have been able to successfully flee to the sea. After all, they lacked the ability to build islands and couldn’t handle the hostility of The People of the Great Sea.

"Let’s hope they’re here to help Great Xia. What do you think, fancy joining me for a challenge?"

As Feng Yuan spoke, he pointed toward the ongoing Dodging Water Balls event and said to Delong Tower, which shook its head and replied,

"Never mind, there’s no challenge in that. I don’t believe you would fail to dodge those water balls."

Unless they were launched in an airtight salvo, Delong Tower believed that Feng Yuan could easily dodge the water balls, and it could do similarly; after all, past a certain level of strength, even without a specialization in speed, evading some attacks was not difficult.

"Then Xiao Ji and I will give it a try~"

Feng Yuan said as he pulled Xiao Ji and joined in, while Delong Tower, clutching its drink, watched Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji go sign up. Agunas looked at Delong Tower with some confusion and asked,

"How did you know they’re related to Wang Yu?"

It believed that it couldn’t be the case that they had contacted Delong Tower themselves since they hadn’t informed the person in charge here initially, and it was doubtful that the person in charge would report to them immediately, or even be aware of the special connection between the back-end boss and Delong Tower.

"Droplet Bubbles, these are not commonly seen Spirit Beasts on land, and their sheer number is high."

Shaking its head and chuckling lightly, was it that the other party was setting a puzzle for Feng Yuan? Although Droplet Bubbles were not exclusive to the sea, their distribution on the mainland of Divine Land Region was limited because they possessed a unique Purification ability for water sources. Given their lack of combat prowess, they were under special protection by the Alliance, and a typical Beast Tamer, might only gain favor with one or two Droplet Bubbles and be allowed to take them due to special circumstances.

A place like this, filled with droves of Droplet Bubbles to purify the pool, is likely an act that only The People of the Great Sea and Wang Yu who used to collect Droplet Bubbles intensively due to freshwater issues in the past could manage.

"Speaking of which, you didn’t stop them when they did that?"

Agunas looked at Delong Tower with some puzzlement. Droplet Bubbles were not marine Spirit Beasts, but since there was no Alliance or its restrictions during the Dynasty Era, The People of the Great Sea and Wang Yu, lacking freshwater resources exchanged massive amounts of resources with the interior for the Droplet Bubble tribe. Additionally, because of their exceptionally good treatment of Droplet Bubbles, these beings did not run away and thus, the majority of the Divine Land Region’s Droplet Bubbles ended up concentrated in the ocean, with only a few scattered in the interior of the Divine Land Region.

It was a dire time during the Dynasty Era, wars were constant, and Spirit Beasts like Droplet Bubbles with weak combat abilities received little attention. After all, their most significant special ability was just water source Purification, which was almost useless for the Dynasty Era inland.

"As long as the Droplet Bubble tribe didn’t object, what could you do? Moreover, the sea indeed lacks freshwater. After all, you on land have no use for them, right?"

Delong Tower spoke bluntly. If this were before Feng Yuan changed history, since it had little interaction with those humans, Delong Tower probably wouldn’t bother. But now, though it wouldn’t help openly, speaking a few words on their behalf was still no issue.
