Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2207 - 2208: Formation Array

Sighing, Agunas flicked his tail helplessly and said,

"If this wasn’t the Tea Wood Town Area, I might choose to thoroughly investigate the situation here."

Because the Tea Wood Town Area is quite special, Agunas didn’t think there would be any unknown dangers hidden here, after all, Yognot and Divine Beasts from various periods are not to be trifled with.

It’s just that it was precisely because of this that he was surprised by the situation in Cloud Cover Village. Based on everything seen now, he could easily guess that Cloud Cover Village is probably an important place in the Tea Wood Town Area, and might even carry special significance.

Although Agunas couldn’t see what exactly Cloud Cover Village’s overall function was, he could be certain that this village was fundamentally a special ritual structure, with those unique patterns and the hidden designs beneath the stone paths all prepared for the entire ritual.

It’s just that this ritual formation is composed of multiple villages, merely looking at Cloud Cover Village wouldn’t reveal what the ritual is ultimately used for.

Certainly, for Agunas, this wasn’t a big problem. He quickly found the information about Cloud Cover Village by pulling out some ancient records, and after reading through them, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously. If this route wasn’t randomly chosen, he would have really suspected that this guy had investigated before.

On the other hand, if he hadn’t investigated, then his luck was really... bizarre.

Feng Yuan blinked in confusion, feeling like Agunas was looking at him somewhat strangely.

Scratching the back of his head, Feng Yuan didn’t know what he had done to provoke such a reaction from Agunas.

Sighing, Agunas put away the book and said,

"I really wonder if you’ve investigated the situation here. But by lingering around here, perhaps you might see something interesting."

"Something interesting?"

Suspiciously looking at Agunas, Feng Yuan knew that the other must have checked some records. Though Cloud Cover Village might be odd, it’s not the kind of unknown surprise that Agunas couldn’t investigate. Still, something interesting?

Sweeping his gaze over the surrounding wooden buildings, Feng Yuan felt perplexed. He couldn’t see the full situation of the formation, but he could tell that this village is part of a larger formation.

This kind of thing, not to mention the Dynasty Era, even in the Mythical Era, wasn’t a skill everyone mastered, especially in modern times due to the advent of technology. Formations have been abandoned, but this doesn’t mean they are useless; it’s just that their compatibility with technological development is not profound, leading to adaptation issues over time.

When it comes to effects, they may not be weak at all, especially when one’s power is weak. Things regarded as trump cards in the Dynasty Era were not simple.

The strict requirements for terrain environment and complex setup methods are important factors that limit their use, but it’s precisely because of this that the formation’s effects are extremely powerful and complex, and in a certain sense, formations are a kind of alternative Divine Beast Technique.

Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by the existence of a formation in the Tea Wood Town Area; although it’s incredibly rare, it’s quite normal for such long-standing places like Tea Wood Town. Over time, someone might accidentally master some precious and unique techniques, but whether these can be passed down is uncertain.

Knowing there is a formation here, Feng Yuan didn’t know its purpose. After all, only by assembling them all can one understand what they are used for; otherwise, if only a part is present, the potential changes are too numerous.

From just the visible sections, Feng Yuan could estimate dozens of different formations. As for what type this formation belonged to, Feng Yuan couldn’t guess.

Qi Chen was somewhat alarmed by Feng Yuan and Agunas’ cryptic conversation and asked in a panic,

"Will there be any issues?"

He believed strongly in Feng Yuan’s peculiar characteristic; wherever he went, something would invariably happen. Could it be the same for Cloud Cover Village...

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"Of course not; it’s just a formation. They couldn’t possibly not know. It’s even likely that they might still be using this formation."

Speaking, Feng Yuan looked towards Agunas. Although he couldn’t recognize what the formation’s purpose was, he could deduce from Agunas’s words that this formation likely hasn’t been abandoned, or he wouldn’t have spoken in such a manner.

"Formation?!"

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. They truly hadn’t anticipated that Cloud Cover Village would contain a formation, as, in their impression, formations are not simple things. Generally, they are either set up in critical places like royal cities or remnants of once-used formations on certain battlefields for various reasons.

But either way, they don’t match Cloud Cover Village.

If formations appeared in critical places like the Fire Stronghold or within Tea Wood Town, they wouldn’t find it odd; but here...

Cloud Cover Village is merely one among many ordinary villages in the Tea Wood Town Area. How could they possess something like this?

Feng Yuan didn’t pay attention to the confusion in the eyes of the two; he surveyed the surroundings and said,

"Just a formation, although this formation should be quite large; otherwise, Cloud Cover Village wouldn’t just be one part of it. Um, Agunas, can’t you just directly tell the truth?"

Glancing at Agunas, Feng Yuan was somewhat impatient; although Agunas said there would be interesting happenings here, he was uncertain of the waiting time. Knowing that the resource competition would soon start, he was anxious.

Seeing Feng Yuan seemed a bit impatient, Agunas thought for a moment and said,

"The core of the formation lies in the village after the last one on this tourist route, and moreover, it’s related to the resource competition."

Upon hearing this answer, Feng Yuan immediately understood the purpose of the formation; offensive and defensive purposes were impossible since the resource competition wasn’t a siege battle, not to mention no one would consider using a residential village as a battleground.

Thus, the effect of this formation becomes quite obvious. Amplification formations are rare, but they do exist, though this formation must resemble Tamur’s Mythical Transformation, with unrestricted range and extended duration, making it hard for standard formations to compare.

Additionally, according to Agunas, the core is at the very end, and after they’ve toured the place, it might be about time too.

Ultimately, no matter how strong such a formation is, the duration of its bestowed state won’t be exorbitantly long; if it’s indeed intended to enhance status immediately before battle, the timing is quite predictable.

Given the resource competition’s established timing, which has long been announced, there’s no way around this, as these matters are too far-reaching to be disseminated covertly, without causing communication issues.

Beside him, Qi Chen felt his mind was muddled, not quite understanding what Feng Yuan and Agunas were discussing; fortunately, Dou Yanlan quickly inferred what was happening, and with Dou Yanlan’s explanation, Qi Chen finally comprehended the situation in Cloud Cover Village.

Regarding why this area was chosen, even if Feng Yuan didn’t say, they had all guessed it.

Such formidable formations have exceedingly high requirements for the site; it’s quite possible that only this place in the Tea Wood Town Area meets the layout conditions for that formation.

It’s necessary to know that when it comes to formations, state types are the most restricted variety, especially concerning augmentations and status enhancements for allies.

There’s no choice; those state-type formations primarily endow states with no regional restrictions, meaning wherever one goes within the duration, one can benefit from the state enhancement. This differs considerably from other categories; most others are fixed at the formation’s position, presenting a constraint in itself.

While touring Cloud Cover Village, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but curiously ask Feng Yuan about knowledge regarding formations, as these things have slowly become mythologized in modern times.

Yet, in a certain sense, formations do indeed possess the power akin to divine spells.

Feng Yuan wasn’t stingy and, while touring, introduced each building’s function regarding the formation. His approach led many tourists to mistakenly consider him as a guide and follow them one by one.

Initially, Qi Chen merely listened silently, but quickly noticed an issue based on Feng Yuan’s introduction; the functional repetition rate within the village’s buildings surprisingly reached over 300%, implying that the same function was present in at least three buildings throughout the village with identical functionality and effect.

This made Qi Chen extremely astonished.
