Divine Beast Creator

Due to the shock from the previous battle, this time, both sides did not immediately strike to attack but instead set up defensive measures in an unusually cautious manner.

I can’t help it; during the negotiations, Veronia had already warned that Agunas wouldn’t be constantly watching over them, and they shouldn’t expect Agunas to come to the rescue in case of an unexpected event.

That terrifying attack sobered them up from their fervor, so they also understood that what they had to do now was to protect themselves; otherwise, if they died here carelessly, it would be a tremendous loss for the forces behind them.

They had to understand that Beastmasters at their level, although not rare, were not that easy to recruit either.

Even though both sides set up defenses, they still attacked each other against the limits of the rules, and the spreading shockwave forced Qi Chen and his group to take action to protect themselves.

"Tsk, being a spectator also requires strength, huh."

With a laugh and a shake of the head, Feng Yuan crossed his arms and watched the relentless shaking of the projected image. Due to the barrier set up jointly by Ah Mu and the others, the projection became somewhat blurred.

"It’s true; if we were any weaker, we might have had to run."

Commanding his Spirit Beast on top, Wu Dingwu couldn’t help but smile wryly. Among them, only Qi Chen’s Forest Domain could directly enhance their strength, while Wu Dingwu just had a White Mist Domain.

He couldn’t help it; his Spirit Beast was either of the Mystic Series or Psychokinesis Series, so when it came to the Crystal Domain, there wasn’t much of a good choice.

Dou Yanlan’s Crystal Domain was mainly supportive, and in terms of Defense Technique, neither Cotton nor Xing Bo was stronger than Ah Mu.

As a result, they chose to deploy the Forest Domain with Ah Mu holding up the barrier, while other Spirit Beasts were responsible for reducing the power of the shockwaves.

Compared to Feng Yuan and his group, those spectators a little further away didn’t have as much trouble; they just needed to have their Spirit Beasts perform an Ultimate Move for protection and didn’t need to rely on the power of the Crystal Domain.

"This isn’t too bad; we can watch the battle while training~"

With a chuckle, Feng Yuan said. Qi Chen rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to respond to him. If possible, he wouldn’t want to be here, but unfortunately, the viewing area for this resource battle wasn’t like a Beast Tamer competition, with specific protective measures in place.

After all, this battle was fought for resources, fighting to the death, so it wasn’t suitable to offer too much protection, lest the combatants feel like they were just performing tricks.

"No wonder my sister didn’t agree to take me to watch before, this is too dangerous... No, it’s because my sister is too weak."

Wu Dingwu muttered quietly to himself after speaking. Feng Yuan looked at Wu Dingwu with some confusion and said,

"Speaking of which, isn’t your sister with you?"

"Of course not, she has a good relationship with the Goddess, so she’s helping with logistics over there... and thinks I’m in the way."

Feng Yuan pretended not to hear Wu Dingwu’s rambling, but he was quite curious about Wu Dingwu’s sister’s situation. However, this curiosity only lasted a moment before his attention shifted elsewhere.

"It’s more back-and-forth now and a lot better than before. However, once this battle is over, win or lose, they probably won’t have the strength to fight again anytime soon."

Unlike Qi Chen and his group, Feng Yuan could clearly gauge those people’s condition. Therefore, Feng Yuan knew that with their way of fighting, they could hold on for a while, but once the victor was decided, they’d suffer a pretty rough time when they lost their momentum.

This wasn’t surprising, considering the battle rules stated that if they managed to take out the opponent entirely before their own members were exhausted, they would win.

After achieving victory, they wouldn’t need to do much for a while. As for finding resources?

The resources those Beastmasters needed could be provided by the forces behind them. If not, those Beastmasters wouldn’t fight so desperately.

Both sides fought back and forth, reducing the probability of severe casualties, but this was troublesome for Qi Chen and his group.

Even though the viewing area wasn’t on the edge of the battlefield, it wasn’t far off either. The shockwaves of Ultimate Moves at a Legendary Level were troublesome for Qi Chen and the others.

Feng Yuan didn’t intend to intervene because there was no need; Qi Chen and the others could completely block the shockwaves from the clashes. As for obstructing their view of the battle?

That wasn’t the case; after all, the main performers were Ah Mu and the others. For them, battles of this level were hardly enlightening since large-scale group combat differed significantly from small-team combat in many aspects.

Qi Chen and his team wouldn’t and didn’t intend to study the combat techniques for such group battles, at least not in the coming years. As for the future?

Forget about years later; even now, the style of group combat might change. Although there were no Attribute Conversions happening here, that devastating strike earlier already proved the value of Attribute Conversion in team wars.

"The growth rate of attack could well exceed the growth rate of defensive capabilities; who knows what could happen in the future,"

Feng Yuan muttered while looking at the battlefield. At that moment, with the last person stepping down, this round was once again a victory for Cha Mu Town.

However, that didn’t mean much; although Cha Mu Town still had nearly ten people left, all of them had lost the ability to continue fighting. If the opposite side had the ability to counter-attack, who would ultimately win was still uncertain.

After all, the victory condition for this confrontation was that the opponent’s entire team should lose combat capability, not the best-of-five format.

"Perhaps the defense might also improve; if the Crystal Domain doesn’t work, maybe there are other ways,"

Veronia mumbled thoughtfully, which made Feng Yuan look at her with curiosity. Tilting his head, Feng Yuan asked,

"Did you receive some kind of reminder?"

"No, not really. It’s just that such unbalanced battles were rare, even in the Mythical Era, because back then we also had many defensive measures against powerful offensive weapons."

Veronia explained with a slight shake of her head, although that was history from the Mythical Era, she didn’t think that rule would become invalid in modern times.

Just like Feng Yuan was worried, disproportionate attack power wasn’t necessarily a good thing, and the world itself would certainly seek balance; as to how it would balance, Veronia couldn’t guess.

"Hmm, could it be a direct counter to the Crystal Domain’s methods? But that’s unlikely; after the Crystal Domain’s boost, Ultimate Moves could be executed remotely, and there’s no way to counter that."

Holding his chin with one hand, Feng Yuan said, and everyone became interested in the topic. Right when the battlefield was changing hands, they started discussing what kind of methods might be used if there was a sudden increase in attack capabilities brought by the Crystal Domain.

Unfortunately, many of the possibilities they proposed had significant issues, either being too specialized or coming with severe limitations.

As the third round began amidst their debate and the ripples spread once again, Feng Yuan and the others had to pause their conversation to defend themselves.

As the battle continued, both sides seemed to gradually grasp the battle methods of the Crystal Domain, but unfortunately, with both sides nearly equal in strength, the ritual from the Tea Wood Town area became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Though Tea Wood Town eventually secured victory, most of the Beastmasters they deployed had also lost combat capability.

"It was really a tough battle."

Seeing the outcome, Feng Yuan shook his head and led the way out of the viewing area. At this moment, both sides were already starting to exit, and staying wouldn’t have yielded anything interesting to watch.

As for offering help?

There was no need for them to make things worse; both sides had long established thorough strategies for a resource battle, especially since the intervention of Agunas this time prevented the worst-case scenario they had expected.

"For resources... will we be like this in the future?"

Wu Dingwu was the most shocked by it all. Although he had left the viewing area, he was still caught up in the feeling, and Feng Yuan replied without looking back.

"It depends on the situation; if you don’t want to keep pushing forward, then there’s no need to do so. Of course, if you have enough talent, you could skip this stage and head directly into the wild, but that doesn’t mean it’s safer."

Other than Feng Yuan, nobody present dared claim they could easily navigate the dangerous wilds.

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan shared a silent glance; this vantage point had left quite an impression on them, while Dou Yanlan also knew that the dangers of a resource battle couldn’t be fully compared to those in the wild.

After all, in the wild, what you face might not always be living creatures, but perhaps the dreadful natural environment or the extremely dangerous ancient ruins...
