Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1225 - 1226: Unexpected Trouble

"Hey~ Qiyun Mountain is quite recognizable~"

With just a glance, they could see the mountains enveloped in cloud and mist. Little Husky, perched on Xiao Ji’s back, remarked. It had also noticed Qiyun Mountain amidst the clouds. Although it didn’t know what Qiyun Mountain looked like, given the word ’cloud’ in its name, it presumed that must be it.

Peeking down below, Feng Yuan spotted a winding path that ended just below those cloud-covered mountains. A row of quaint structures in the style of Fire Stronghold stood at the end of the trail, which presumably was the so-called resort. Contemplating that, Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji with his claw and said

"That should be it, let’s go down~"

However, just as Xiao Ji was about to land, an eagle soaring in the high skies seemed to have found its prey and dove towards Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji, who wasn’t flying very high and hadn’t paid much attention above, only noticed the eagle’s attack when it was almost upon them. Startled, Xiao Ji barely avoided the eagle’s stoop with a quick side maneuver.

Clinging tightly behind Xiao Ji, Little Husky nearly got thrown off. Agunas looked at the eagle with some surprise; normally, Spirit Beasts of the sky rarely attacked each other, as there was no need – they did not hunt fellow Spirit Beasts for sustenance, with their food being the plentiful ordinary animals.

And Xiao Ji had not provoked those aerial Spirit Beasts. Besides, this is Cha Mu Town where Xiao Ji had hardly visited. Even if it had before its evolution, it couldn’t fly, and after its evolution, apart from fighting, it seldom soared in the skies.

Angry at the aggressor eagle, Xiao Ji halted its descent and launched an attack right in mid-air. The Eagle Spiritual Beast tried to evade Xiao Ji’s attack by relying on speed, but Xiao Ji’s ultimate move wasn’t a precise single-target attack. A sweeping barrage of flames engulfed the space, and even with its swiftness, the eagle couldn’t avoid latching onto the eerie blue flames.

The flames ignored the flow of energy barrier on its surface, inflicting it with bone-piercing agony. Xiao Ji’s flames were of the special Death Series type; most energy barriers failed to fully block them, let alone for that Eagle Spiritual Beast, which was known for its speed among Wind Attribute beasts.

"Don’t go too hard; there must be a Beastmaster behind this one."

Upon recalling something, Little Husky patted Xiao Ji with its paw and said. Naturally, it recognized what this Eagle Spiritual Beast was: a Gale Battle Eagle was a rather common Wind Attribute beast that seemed to be seen everywhere, but that was due to the sheer number of Beastmasters who chose it. Initially, the habitat of this kind of Spirit Beast was not in the Divine Land Region. Among Wind Attribute beasts, few possessed a combination of speed and strength like the Gale Battle Eagle did.

If One-leaf Fox lineage was chosen by many due to its original population size, then the Gale Battle Eagle lineage was sought after for its strength. Whether it’s commoners or clan heirs looking for a Wind Attribute beast, the first choice was generally the Gale Battle Eagle. Despite its size making it difficult to effortlessly carry people in flight like larger Spirit Beasts, as an aerial combat force, Gale Battle Eagles ranked rather high.

Hence Feng Yuan knew it was impossible for a wild Gale Battle Eagle to exist here, not just because their natural habitat was elsewhere, but even if there were any, Beastmasters would have already tried to form a bond with them.

Dissatisfied, Xiao Ji glared at the Gale Battle Eagle. It didn’t care whether there was a Beastmaster or not; daring to attack it unprovoked, Xiao Ji was determined to teach it a lesson, not least since it was carrying Feng Yuan on its back. With that thought, Xiao Ji’s eyes gleamed fiercely, and its claws snatched at the air.

Red light streaked by the side of the Gale Battle Eagle, and in an instant, the multiple flashes of blood-red light left several gashes on the Battle Eagle. Seeing this, Little Husky was stunned for a moment; it wasn’t aware of when Xiao Ji had learned this move.

Crimson Claws, a special physical attack technique, could only be possibly learned by Spirit Beasts with sharp claws. But since it was among the Death Series ultimate moves, the Spirit Beasts capable of mastering it were not common. Moreover, in his memory, it seemed no one had taught Xiao Ji this technique.

It’s learning ability is quite strong, thought Little Husky. As for the ongoing fight? He just needed to ensure Xiao Ji didn’t seriously injure the Gale Battle Eagle. But with Agunas looking on, it likely wasn’t a possibility.

Seeing the wounded Gale Battle Eagle still attacking, Little Husky sighed and loudly said, freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Agunas, lend a hand, please. This can’t go on, I’m afraid something unexpected may happen."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s shout, Agunas, who was floating in the distance, flicked its tail and clenched its claw. A special power firmly controlled the Gale Battle Eagle. White Rune Circles surrounded the bird, restricting its movement and also protecting it from further attacks by Xiao Ji.

Glancing at Agunas, Xiao Ji let out a displeased cry. It was reluctant to confront Agunas directly—not out of fear, but because it knew that its attacks would hardly pierce through that protection, especially knowing that it was Feng Yuan who had ordered the intervention.

With the Gale Battle Eagle in tow, they descended to the parking lot in front of the vacation resort, where a group of security guards with vigilant expressions surrounded them. One of them, clearly the captain, had a grim look and fixed his gaze on Xiao Ji. Little Husky jumped down from Xiao Ji’s back and reverted to its original form, landing steadily on the ground.

"It seems there might be a misunderstanding?"

Seeing the group’s demeanor, Feng Yuan guessed that something must have happened.

As expected, the resort staff had mistaken Xiao Ji for a malicious intruder, but Feng Yuan was not someone to be trifled with. Aside from anything else, the resort had not filed for a no-fly zone, so there was no issue with a Spirit Beast flying through the area.

Feng Yuan wouldn’t indulge them for attacking Xiao Ji without asking questions. After all, if things really escalated, he wasn’t afraid. Not to mention that this was within the bounds of Cha Mu Town, if he didn’t mind troubling He Nanqing, asking for her assistance would be all too easy. Even if they didn’t respect He Nanqing’s authority, his own status was nothing they could challenge.

Whether it was the official status conferred by Great Xia or the presence of Agunas and the others, he wasn’t intimidated by these people at all.

The manager, upon hearing the whole story, also felt a headache coming on. He was well aware of the security team’s behavior. It was not so much that they were seriously responsible as they were somewhat conceited, the result of dealing with high-status individuals at the resort. Consequently, they had grown arrogant.

Now they had provoked someone they shouldn’t have. Of course, the manager was aware of Feng Yuan’s status, as the Special Duty Team had automatically sent him a warning based on the reservation system information after Chen Xin made the appointment. If the establishment hadn’t been initially aware of Feng Yuan’s identity, it would be challenging to mediate any accidental slip-ups on their part.

Now the matter was straightforward. Since the necessary precautions had been previously communicated, any issue that arose would primarily be the establishment’s fault. As for whether Feng Yuan would deliberately cause trouble? The Special Duty Team’s analysis suggested this was possible, but unlikely under these circumstances. Feng Yuan wouldn’t ask the Special Duty Team to intervene on his behalf if he genuinely recognized an error; he wasn’t the type to adamantly refuse to admit his mistakes.

After learning of Feng Yuan’s information, the manager had naturally instructed his staff to be extra careful, acknowledging that Feng Yuan was not someone to be provoked. His status aside, the presence of two Divine Beasts made him a challenging adversary, considering that if the Divine Beasts took action, there would be no reasoning with them. However, under normal circumstances, Divine Beasts wouldn’t randomly attack people.

What he hadn’t expected was Feng Yuan arriving directly on his Beast Tamer instead of by car with the others. He had even calculated the expected arrival time of the vehicle Feng Yuan was supposed to be in, but ironically, the security team had mistakenly treated the resort’s airspace as a no-fly zone.

As the manager, he was well aware that the resort hadn’t applied for a no-fly zone, as there was no need for one. Further, some guests had flying Beast Tamers of their own. Asking them to apply for permission to fly seemed unreasonable, given their status. So, normally, they didn’t particularly care about the Beast Tamers flying overhead.

Unfortunately, today was a private event with student guests, and he hadn’t expected the security team to be so arrogant, assuming the students were no big deal. Didn’t they consider how ordinary people could manage to reserve and book the entire venue?
