Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1134 - 1135: An Unexpected Discovery

"Alright, alright, stop that, I’m fine, no need for comforting."

Feng Yuan said with slight amusement as he stroked Xiao Ji’s feathers. Xiao Ji seemed to be confused, lifting its head to look at Feng Yuan, blinking with puzzlement. Wasn’t it because Liao Yu had betrayed Feng Yuan that he was unhappy? However, looking at it now, something seemed off; at least, Feng Yuan didn’t appear to be heartbroken.

Agunas flicked its tail and explained something to Xiao Ji, wordlessly. Although it didn’t think letting Xiao Ji know about these matters so soon was a good thing, letting the misunderstanding continue was also worrisome, and it wasn’t sure what might happen.

Veronia gave Feng Yuan a glance and twirled her umbrella as she said,

"Why can’t you let go of the past? Actually, you have nothing to fear, they might not be better than you..."

"Things that exist in memories are always idealized. Moreover, I haven’t met anyone who makes my heart flutter right now. These things, can only be left to fate, right?"

Feng Yuan sighed softly. Liao Yu glanced at him but didn’t say anything. He didn’t find it strange that Feng Yuan didn’t have a girlfriend at the moment; after all, he wasn’t particularly old, right? For someone like Qi Chen, who had already established a girlfriend right after graduation, that was quite unusual.

"Having a crush, huh..."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen murmured to himself, lost in thought. Ah Mu gently patted Qi Chen’s shoulder. Just then, something passed by in front of them; though the disturbance it caused wasn’t loud, it was particularly noticeable in the stillness of the space.

"Who’s there?!"

Feng Yuan gently nudged Xiao Ji and vigilantly watched ahead. He hadn’t forgotten where they were; although the Abyss had retreated, he didn’t dare to assume that there were no dangers here.

The rustling sound rose as if something was running through the bushes. After a while, a flower bud resembling a droplet of water ran out from the bush. Seeing the pair of puzzled, big eyes and the tightly clenched round hands on the flower bud, Feng Yuan exclaimed in surprise,

"A Flower Bud?! Why would there be one here?!"

"This..."

Agunas floated over to the Flower Bud, circling it in astonishment and said,

"It indeed is a real Spirit Beast, not a fake existence created by the Data Domain. But... who brought the Flower Bud here?"

Flower Buds aren’t a newly discovered Spirit Beast; as Wood Attribute creatures, they are found in certain forests of the Divine Land Region. They like to grow various flowers, and being gentle-natured, they are not fond of fighting, thus are not the typical Spirit Beasts for Beastmasters.

However, for Beastmasters, their planting abilities are quite significant, as most Beastmasters are involved with Spiritual Medicine. Although Flower Buds only provide a particular growth boost for flowers, even if they evolve to Legendary Level, this remains true. However, there are many types of Spiritual Medicine that are not flower-based, and they can care and cultivate ordinary Spiritual Medicine, just without the special boost.

Therefore, there is much research on Flower Buds. Their Attribute as buds is Wood, and after their first evolution, they gain a Water Attribute. Their Attributes do not change thereafter, and these Attributes do not allow them to enter the Data Domain.

So, why are they appearing here? Agunas was certain that the Special Duty Team hadn’t patrolled this area yet, especially since Captain Yan and the others knew that Feng Yuan and Liao Yu were walking downwards. Considering the need to quickly confirm whether there were any immediate risks, they would have sent people upwards first, only sending additional manpower downward for a slow sweep if they had the extra hands.

At this time point, they should not have reached this area yet, as the zero-gravity layer above Maomu City alone could keep the Special Duty Team busy for days.

That maze-like area was almost impossible to clear quickly. Even Feng Yuan had only found a direct route to the entrance of the next area and hadn’t lingered there.

"It seems to be wild."

Feng Yuan reached out to gently touch the droplet-like flower bud’s body and spoke, "Wild Spirit Beasts are somewhat different from those accompanying humans, and moreover, I don’t smell the scent of a contract on it."

At their initial encounter, he was startled, but after composing himself, the Flower Bud boldly grabbed Feng Yuan’s finger and shook it. Gently pushing away the Flower Bud’s tiny hand, Feng Yuan turned to Agunas and said,

"Why not ask it how it ended up here? There shouldn’t be a door connecting to the real world."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the color drained from Agunas’s face. After inquiring of the Flower Bud and looking at it in amazement, Agunas took out a book and flipped through it, saying,

"It’s miraculous. The Flower Bud actually possesses the ability to enter and exit the Data Domain and even has an additional Data Attribute while within the Data Domain."

"No way? Does that mean its evolutionary form could potentially possess Three Attributes?"

Observing the reinvigorated Flower Bud, Feng Yuan exclaimed in amazement. As for whether it would lose this special trait post-evolution, since Agunas did not refute his words, it was probable that its evolutionary form would remain the same. Originally having both Wood and Water Attributes, if another Data Attribute was added, wouldn’t that mean it has Three Attributes?

"It’s fascinating, but limited to the Data Domain. Still, it’s a bit strange. The Flower Bud is not a newly born Spirit Beast—why would it have this ability?"

Looking at the Flower Bud greeting Xiao Ji and the others, Agunas expressed his confusion. The Flower Bud was a type of Spirit Beast with an early appearance in history, so humans have conducted extensive research on it. Moreover, as a Plant-type Spirit Beast, it doesn’t have much connection to the Data Domain. He couldn’t understand why this phenomenon would occur.

"Maybe it’s related to this Plant Maze? In any case, it should be a normal phenomenon, or else there would have been a prompt."

Glancing at the shrub walls around them, Feng Yuan mentioned casually. He didn’t know the specific reason, only considering it a possibility. After all, there hadn’t been any accounts of Spirit Beasts gaining the ability to enter and exit the Data Domain after its appearance.

Wait! Big Cat seems to possess this ability, although it’s not very apparent. After all, the scholarly owls themselves are quite special. They choose the path of knowledge during evolution, which doesn’t affect their intrinsic Attributes, but does result in the manifestation of some odd traits.

For example, scholarly owls who research plants may not gain Wood Attribute, but they can master the ability to manipulate plants, even possessing the special ability of inducing plant growth, which is typically unique to Plant-type Spirit Beasts. It was precisely because of this that, when Big Cat obtained the ability to freely move in and out of the Data Domain, he subconsciously overlooked the possibility that other Ordinary Spirit Beasts might also have the capability to enter and exit the Data Domain.

If Big Cat’s ability is unrelated to its scholarly path, then it indicates that other Spirit Beasts may also master the ability to traverse the Data Domain, then...

Seeing Feng Yuan looking in his direction, Liao Yu was initially perplexed, but he quickly caught on to Feng Yuan’s thoughts. After all, he was also a member of the Special Duty Team, naturally sensitive to matters involving local security.

"Could it be that other non-Data Lineage Spirit Beasts also possess the ability to enter and exit the Data Domain?"

Liao Yu asked Feng Yuan with some nervousness. Without waiting for a response, Feng Yuan turned his gaze to Agunas. Although he could perform the check himself, with Agunas present, it was better to inquire directly. Agunas should also be able to look up the information.

Flipping through a book pulled from an unknown source, Agunas said,

"Your speculation is probably correct. With the evolution of the Data Domain, many Ordinary Spirit Beasts have gained the ability to enter and exit it. However, they cannot enter the Void Zone and are restricted to roaming within the Data City."

"In that case, we probably need to hurry and secure complete control over the city’s authority."

Hearing Agunas’s explanation, Liao Yu was speaking as he opened the chat panel. With the recent updates and modifications, a chat feature had been added to the panel. Although it was limited to within Maomu City’s Data Realm, it still ensured they could communicate and exchange intelligence promptly with others.

After a while, Liao Yu sighed and said,

"I’ve already informed Captain Yan. I didn’t expect something like this to happen; it seems for some time we will all have to divert our energies to explore this city." freewebnσvel.cѳm

What was originally thought to be insignificant has been changed due to Ordinary Spirit Beasts gaining the ability of free movement. After all, almost all Data-based Spirit Beasts were in the hands of Special Duty Teams all over, so they were not concerned about others breaking in. Now, it’s different. Not to mention the risk of ordinary people accidentally wandering in, if those disorderly small organizations decided to cause trouble, they could easily encounter unexpected mishaps due to unfamiliarity with the local environment.
