Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1157 - 1158: Diving Activity

"They probably don’t have any intentions here, and they don’t need to find ways to establish a relationship with us."

Agunas pondered, Maomu City itself isn’t a particularly important place, or rather, it’s not a strategic location. It only developed into a large city because of the existence of an old city here.

Even with the presence of Maomu Academy, Maomu City isn’t actually a first-tier city in the Southern Region of Great Xia. It would be odd if the People from Wang Yu wanted to do something here, given that they mostly live on the sea. The only Divine Beast they would need to establish a relationship with is Delong Tower, and as long as they don’t intentionally provoke other Divine Beasts, they generally won’t face any threats from them.

As for the idea of coveting their land like Xingchan did with Great Xia? That’s even less likely. Delong Tower wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. This is why the land nations, despite having many Divine Beasts to rely on, still can’t deal with The People of the Great Sea. Delong Tower doesn’t allow land Divine Beasts to interfere with matters of the sea and also doesn’t allow them to meddle with land affairs. To occupy land, one has to give up the sea.

As for disregarding advice? The sea is Delong Tower’s home turf. Engaging in conflict with it here would cause even Lorraine Tower a headache.

Given the lack of need, it seems like Wang Yu is just making strategic preparations. Seeing so many tourists, this Water Park alone could rake in a lot of money. Especially with the help of Droplet Bubble, dealing with and purifying wastewater isn’t too troublesome. Over time, it might even become a unique selling point. After all, Spirit Beasts capable of Purification are not rare, but not every Water Park can use one.

"How about you rest here for a bit?"

In the diving area, Feng Yuan said to Xiao Ji, who looked a bit unwell. He was quite interested in the treasure hunting activity in the diving area. Although the water here was only over ten meters deep, it was quite a challenge for Xiao Ji. He didn’t hold out much hope for Xiao Ji to dive with him on the first day.

"It looks like it wants to follow you down, but, there seems to be something dangerous down there."

Looking down, Agunas flicked its tail and said. It could sense that there were many water-type Spirit Beasts lurking below.

"What a drastic change. It was just an ordinary diving pool just now, but now it has transformed completely."

Surveying the diving pool that had undergone a huge transformation, Yang Hongzhi spoke with some surprise. Just moments ago, when he and Najia were diving here, none of these strange things were present. The bottom of the pool was just a layer of fine sand, and the surrounding walls were made of tiles. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Now the tiled walls were covered with a layer of rock decorations, and the once-clear pool water had become somewhat murky, with even seaweed appearing in it.

"After all, it’s an event venue. If it’s too plain, it would leave a bad impression. But such a large expense, is it really worth it?"

Feng Yuan voiced his doubts while looking at the diving pool. He could tell that everything in this pool was physical, including the sand and rocks at the bottom with their spiritual power shielding effects.

Yes, those strangely shaped rocks that resembled an underwater forest were all real. They also had properties that shielded spiritual power and high resistance to Ultimate Moves. Though Feng Yuan was not familiar with things from the sea, he suspected that these items were not cheap.

"For them, it’s actually quite suitable. Those rocks, I remember, are special building materials recently researched by Wang Yu. Although they’re sold at a high price externally, I suppose the internal cost for their own use wouldn’t be particularly huge."

"Special building materials? What are they used for?"

Feng Yuan paused, looking at Delong Tower with some astonishment. These items didn’t seem to be something that could be used on land. As for underwater? If he remembered correctly, neither The People of the Great Sea nor Wang Yu had developed areas below the sea surface. Or rather, even if those areas were developed, it’s unclear what they’d be used for.

Planting? There are a plethora of problems, from the soil to preventing water ingress. It requires so much effort, and the results may not even be as effective as employing a few Spirit Beasts with rapid growth capabilities.

This is also one of the important reasons why they have never considered extending the land area underwater; another reason is that occupying the space in the sea could easily provoke the Spirit Beasts in the ocean, even Delong Tower.

"It seems like an underwater breeding farm, I’m not very clear, but they have cordoned off an area below the northern sea of Wang Yu to do some sort of marine breeding."

After giving it some thought, Delong Tower shook its head, admitting that it was not very clear what their purpose was in creating this thing. In fact, Wang Yu only started using it after accidentally developing it while researching underwater planting. After all, although Spirit Beasts like those in Karnas don’t exist, there are still a lot of Spirit Beasts that can fuse rocks or compress and transport soil.

If one really wants to create something underwater, there might not be a need to specifically research materials. Of course, normal people wouldn’t like living in the sea either. No matter how nicely the interior is decorated, it wouldn’t make a difference.

"Are you all going down together later?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and Yang Hongzhi to ask; nodding in agreement, everyone was quite interested in the upcoming diving activity. Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan had no previous experience at all, while Yang Hongzhi had practiced with teachers in school but had not put it into practice, especially since Maomu City was not near the sea.

He didn’t have much money or time to travel to the seaside, so he was quite interested in the opportunity to experience diving here.

"The water depth seems to have changed; is this due to spatial expansion? But that makes sense."

Noticing the changing colors of the water’s surface, Delong Tower mused. At the moment, since the diving area was being prepared for the activity, tourists were not allowed to enter the water. Only the staff accompanied by their Beast Tamers occasionally dived in, seemingly busy with something.

"If they don’t use spatial expansion, there’s probably no way to fit so many people."

Feng Yuan looked at the tourists on the shore and said with a smile that everyone was waiting to dive into the water. Moreover, this type of treasure-hunting activity wouldn’t be much fun if the space is too cramped, unless it’s conducted in batches. However, that wouldn’t be an exciting option for the tourists.

"It seems quite interesting; I’ve never tried diving the human way before."

Veronia walked over with a small lizard, looking towards the water surface changing shape, noting the variations in the water depth and the pool’s interior size. The staff in the water seemed busy placing special rocks at the bottom, the ease of their movements led Feng Yuan to guess that those rocks must be light, maybe even buoyant. As for ensuring the rocks don’t fall? That’s simple, just have the Spirit Beasts alter the mud and stones beneath to connect the erected stone pillars to the bedrock.

The entire bottom of the pool was one massive rock, with a thick layer of gravel covering it to conceal the placed treasures. Of course, these "treasures" were actually just common seashells and small pearls found on the beach.

"Finally done?"

After a long wait, the staff began distributing number cards. While cueing for entry, Feng Yuan turned to Xiao Ji to confirm once more:

"Are you sure it’s okay? If it’s not, you can wait for me on the shore."

This diving treasure hunt activity does not require bringing one’s own Beast Tamer. Delong Tower also seemed interested and followed Feng Yuan into the queue. After seeing Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji’s gaze was resolute; it called out and shook its head.

This time, even Pomiti joined in the activity. Kong Qing was somewhat interested in diving, and Big Cat also intended to follow Feng Yuan into the water. As no one was available to look after Pomiti temporarily, but the little creature was not afraid of water, so taking it along wasn’t a big problem. With Feng Yuan and the others watching over, there was no fear of Pomiti getting lost.

But when it was time to enter, the staff seemed to have some reservations upon seeing Feng Yuan accompanied by so many Spirit Beasts; in their view, it was a bit too much. After all, other people usually brought only their Beast Tamers, so bringing along one or two was normal. Feng Yuan, having brought so many Spirit Beasts, seemed a bit...

However, once Delong Tower behind Feng Yuan stepped forward to explain the situation, there were no more questions. Gazing at the sky-blue water in front of them, Xiao Ji gave itself another pep talk before finally following Feng Yuan and leaping into the water.
