Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Departure•Advance_1
"Your language of communication is quite interesting~ Can you teach me, huh?"
Feng Yuan looked at Drudgeon with a smile, and Drudgeon’s round face showed helplessness. Qi Chen pulled Feng Yuan’s clothes and took Feng Yuan aside, saying
"Come on, haven’t you already got the ’Communication with All Beings’ from the White Wolf Deity? Why are you still obsessed with this?"
"The ’Communication with All Beings’ isn’t very useful, it’s not as fluent as the language of communication."
"What! Did! You! Say!"
Qi Xiaoshuang, who was arguing with a girl, looked at Feng Yuan with murder in her eyes, and Feng Yuan spread his hands and said
"I’m just stating the facts. Don’t you think her speech is very fluent now?"
"Are you still going to look for it?"
Drudgeon’s emotionless voice rang in Feng Yuan’s ears. Feng Yuan felt a calm that seemed to suppress a hint of anger, so he quickly shut his mouth. Captain Yang glared at Feng Yuan, then turned to Qi Xiaoshuang and said
"Stop arguing! You, stay here until the matter is resolved."
The girl pointed at by Captain Yang said discontentedly
"I don’t want to! It’s everyone’s concern, why do you plan to handle it yourselves!"
"You’re not from our region! Who knows what your real intentions are!"
...
Girl’s series of questions made Captain Yang’s veins pop. Drudgeon glanced at the girl, and in Captain Yang’s mind, Drudgeon’s calm voice emerged
"Take her with us. It will be unsafe here after we leave."
Without further comment, Captain Yang looked at Drudgeon. After a while, the group packed up, and seeing the girl embracing Drudgeon, Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at the White Wolf Deity lying on the ground, about to do something. The White Wolf Deity, sensing Qi Xiaoshuang’s ill intentions, glared a warning at her. Glared at by the White Wolf Deity, Qi Xiaoshuang pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, and followed by Qi Chen’s side.
Seeing Drudgeon in the girl’s arms, Feng Yuan joked
"You don’t just want a mount, claiming it’s not safe here, do you~"
"Quit your yapping!"
"This way."
Drudgeon used his little hand to direct the group’s path. Seeing the girl carrying Drudgeon at the front of the team, Captain Yang felt a bit worried and ordered Bai Mao to follow beside the girl. Noticing Captain Yang’s action, Drudgeon didn’t say much. After a while, the surroundings gradually heated up, and the White Wolf Deity lightly tapped its left paw, raising a Rune Stone Barrier that enveloped the group.
Embracing Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked at the trees around them that were about to wither and said
"Who exactly is that one? This can’t be just some sunny weather, could it?"
"An old friend, Yognot."
"Yognot?"
Seeing Feng Yuan somewhat puzzled, Drudgeon’s ears drooped slightly in sadness, and Teacher Yan whispered doubtfully
"Yognot? It seems I’ve heard the name somewhere before..."
As Feng Yuan walked, he pondered and then hesitantly said
"You mean that guy? But with his personality, he wouldn’t do something like this, right?"
Drudgeon did not respond to Feng Yuan’s doubts, and with ears drooping, silently pointed the way. Qi Chen, pulling Feng Yuan, asked quietly
"Who is Yognot? How come I’ve never heard of him?"
"I just have an impression of such an entity, but for some reason, he doesn’t seem to appear in the history much, a special Spirit Beast managing scorching heat, Yognot. The specifics, I’m not clear about anymore."
"Managing scorching heat?"
Qi Chen was somewhat puzzled and didn’t understand. In his memory, Divine Beasts directly managed something specific, but scorching heat didn’t seem quite right for the domain of a Divine Beast.
"I remember it’s something like that, but I can’t recall the details. After all, it’s not very famous."
"Are there any records of Yognot in the books?"
Qi Xiaoshuang recalled for a long time, perplexed, and sought confirmation from Dou Yanlan. Dou Yanlan shook her head and said
"I have no recollection."
"nor do I. Are there really any records about Yognot?"
Meng Binglan looked at Feng Yuan skeptically, and Feng Yuan, dissatisfied, pointed at the girl up ahead and said
"If you don’t believe me, ask Drudgeon! There must be records!"
"Indeed, there are, but very few."
Drudgeon’s calm voice arose beside Feng Yuan’s ear, and Feng Yuan said with a smug look,
"See? I told you I was right~"
"But where did you find these records? I recall that the Maomu Grand Library doesn’t have any such records."
Meng Binglan watched Feng Yuan with a playful look, and Feng Yuan didn’t reply but just said,
"I just saw them, it doesn’t matter where I saw them from."
"I don’t mind that, but those old guys who study history might have a different opinion~"
"Are you threatening me!"
"Don’t be like that, maybe he saw them in the organization, huh?"
Qi Chen hurriedly spoke up, and Meng Binglan said with a somewhat sinister smile,
"Oh? Books from the G Organization can be accessed? Seems like you’re not just any experimental subject~"
"Stop that..."
"Yang Hongfang, aren’t you going to say anything?"
Captain Yang looked at Meng Binglan with a complex expression and said nothing, while Wu Feng, dissatisfied, pushed Meng Binglan away, saying,
"I’m warning you! Don’t start trouble! Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!"
"Even the Divine Pact Maker is backing you up, huh~ Alright, alright, I’ll leave you be~"
Meng Binglan walked off to the side with an eerie smile, and Wu Feng let out a sigh and said to Feng Yuan,
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on her. If she causes any trouble for you, just contact me and I’ll deal with it."
Qi Chen looked at Wu Feng in surprise, while Feng Yuan glanced at the Vermilion Bird angrily staring at Meng Binglan atop Wu Feng’s head and somewhat understood, spreading his hands and saying,
"Whatever, if she irritates me, I won’t be polite to her either."
Although Feng Yuan said that very calmly, Qi Chen still felt a very dangerous aura emanating from Feng Yuan. Wanting to say something but then thinking of Meng Binglan’s attitude, Qi Chen sighed and shook his head. Yang Hongzhi came over to Feng Yuan with a helpless tone and said softly,
"You should be careful of that madwoman; she’s likely going to cause you trouble again."
"Madwoman?"
"Yeah, someone who’d do anything for knowledge. It’s said she once tried to scheme against Drudgeon but was harshly taught a lesson by him. Now she probably has her eye on the unknown knowledge you possess."
Discussing, Yang Hongzhi looked at Meng Binglan with a hint of disgust, and Feng Yuan, slightly puzzled, said,
"And she’s been getting away with this behavior?"
"Most of the time, it’s actually okay, and since she’s a genius herself, she has contributed many important inventions to Great Xia. If it weren’t for her issues, she should be securely at the Great Xia Research Institute."
"Confronting Drudgeon? Why? Is she that crazy?"
Qi Chen was somewhat puzzled, and Feng Yuan sighed, saying,
"Pretty normal, after all, Drudgeon is a Divine Beast that governs lost knowledge, and not all lost knowledge is necessarily useless. For example, this Language of Communication is clearly a lost magic."
"Eh? If it’s useful, then why doesn’t Drudgeon share this knowledge?"
"Because of the cost. Lost knowledge signifies that it shouldn’t exist in this time period anymore. Bringing those things back always comes with a price. Of course, what price it might be is hard to say."
As everyone talked and moved forward, the surroundings began to dry up, the vegetation was all withered, and even though they were inside the Rune Stone Barrier provided by the White Wolf Deity, they still started to feel the temperature rise. Perhaps because of the heat, the Cotton in Dou Yanlan’s arms felt uncomfortable and squirmed around. Feng Yuan put Xiao Ji down on the ground and said,
"It’s too hot, you walk on your own."
Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment then obediently followed by Feng Yuan’s side. Sensing a spatial fluctuation ahead, Feng Yuan was surprised. Before long, a large number of monkeys, ablaze with flames, appeared out of nowhere. As soon as those Fire Monkeys appeared, they swarmed towards the group, brandishing their claws.
"Overestimating their strength..."
Feng Yuan watched those Fire Monkeys being driven away by Drudgeon with a bit of amusement. Realizing that those Fire Monkeys must possess strong fire resistance, the Vermilion Bird decided to stay put on Wu Feng’s head instead of acting.
"Looks like we’re about to meet Yognot~"
Feng Yuan said with a relaxed tone.
