Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2122 - 2123: Nighttime Dangers
"Are you planning to take the night ferry?"
Hearing Feng Yuan’s question, the shop owner looked at him in surprise and scratched his head. Feng Yuan asked puzzled,
"Is there a problem? Isn’t the night ferry meant for the living?"
"Not really, but if you’re not in a hurry, I... well, judging by your outfits, you must be students, so there’s nothing that can be done."
The owner initially considered suggesting that Feng Yuan and his group change their ferry tickets but suddenly realized from their attire. It’s the harvest season, and many Spiritual Medicines in the Serene Forest Sea have matured. During this time, it’s tough to get tickets for the daytime ferry to Lin Qiu.
After thinking for a bit, the owner rummaged through the counter and said,
"Sorry, I don’t have any Insect-Repellent Lamps here, but that’s no big deal. If you have other non-Spiritual Medicine means to repel insects, that’s fine. If not, you should buy an Insect-Repellent Lamp elsewhere."
"Um, does the night ferry have fewer passengers because of the insects?"
Although not explicitly stated, Feng Yuan had already guessed something. The shop owner nodded and said,
"Yes, the chance of the night ferry being attacked by the unique insect swarms of the forest sea is quite high. While it seems like you can sleep on the boat, the opportunity to rest all the way to the destination is, in fact, very slim."
"Most of the time, everyone is busy fighting off the forest sea insect swarms throughout the night, which is why many prefer to rest for a night at Lin Du and wait for the next day’s ferry rather than depart a night earlier."
"By the way, remember not to use repellent Spiritual Medicines or Ultimate Moves. To them, that’s a provocation and can cause an even bigger disturbance."
The shop owner sternly warned suddenly, seeing Feng Yuan’s indifferent demeanor, and said seriously,
"You probably don’t know there was once a serious incident. Some family descendants, relying on their elders’ strong Spirit Beasts, forcibly used Ultimate Moves to disperse the insect swarms and killed many insects. That time, they caused a riot in the entire Serene Forest Sea. If it weren’t for the Space-attribute Spirit Beast stationed in the city using Spatial Transfer to evacuate people, it could have been a tragedy that shocked the entire Great Xia."
"Since then, the ferry security personnel have kept a close watch on passengers, strictly prohibiting their Spirit Beasts from using Ultimate Moves to repel insects. After all, if something goes wrong, it won’t just be you in trouble but also the innocent co-passengers and crew."
Feng Yuan wasn’t intimidated by the shop owner’s slightly menacing look. Stroking his chin, Feng Yuan said in amazement,
"There’s actually such a thing? Don’t worry, we won’t cause trouble. Besides, if a riot does happen... hehe~"
With a slight smirk on his face, Feng Yuan didn’t care about this matter. Although he could choose not to cause trouble, if the insects acted recklessly, he wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson.
Agunas flicked his tail and said speechlessly,
"I say, don’t go erasing the entire Serene Forest Sea. It’s not just Lin Du and Lin Qiu; nearby cities heavily depend on this forest sea."
Seeing Feng Yuan’s cold smile, Agunas felt uneasy. Others might not understand, but these Divine Beasts knew. This guy entirely had the ability to erase the whole Serene Forest Sea. Then, what difference would the bug swarms make? They’d have no habitat left, making a swarm riot impossible.
But the consequences would be severe.
Besides Lin Qiu and Lin Du’s heavy reliance on the Serene Forest Sea’s resources, many nearby cities also depend on its abundant resources to sustain and develop. If the Serene Forest Sea were gone, the impact would be enormous.
The shop owner took a surprised look at Feng Yuan. If it were someone else, he might assume they were exaggerating, because erasing the Serene Forest Sea—what a joke. Did they not know how vast the Serene Forest Sea is?
But coming from the mouth of a Spirit Beast that could speak, it’s different. Few talking Spirit Beasts are simple creatures, and besides, the shop owner didn’t recognize Agunas, who might be a powerful Spirit Beast or even... a Divine Beast!
Of course, the Divine Beast status was just the shop owner’s own speculation. He wasn’t foolish enough to directly ask.
Feng Yuan chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head,
"I suppose, if I call Shi and Xilnais, it might be overkill..."
"Are you really going to call them just to deal with some bugs?"
Rolling his eyes, Agunas was speechless; he underestimated Feng Yuan. Agunas thought Feng Yuan would use the pitch-black Ancient Book to directly cause the Serene Forest Sea to wither, but he didn’t expect him to be even bolder.
Shi and Xilnais, although usually exhibiting similar strength to Agunas and others, could fully erupt, especially against enemies of this world. They could wipe them out along with the environment.
It even suspected that Feng Yuan earlier considered having Shi and Xilnais erase the entire Serene Forest Sea from this world.
Chuckling, Feng Yuan didn’t argue. He indeed thought about taking the straightforward route: bringing the Guardians of Yin World to clean everything, forgetting that their actions might erase the forest sea from maps entirely.
After all, due to its unique nature, the Yin World could eliminate an entire area from the world.
Qi Chen, who had been silently listening to Feng Yuan and Agunas’ conversation, covered his face, not knowing what to say about Feng Yuan, who was truly...
After leaving the shop, Feng Yuan looked around and said,
"Next, we need to buy some Insect-Repellent Lamps. Hmm, if we can’t use Ultimate Moves, how about the Fog of Life Withering?"
"What are you planning..."
Qi Chen slapped Feng Yuan’s shoulder to bring him to his senses. Although he didn’t know what the Fog of Life Withering was, just from the name, he could guess its effect.
Though there aren’t aquatic creatures in the streams between Lin Du and Lin Qiu, using that thing seems excessive, doesn’t it?
As for the riot?
Even Qi Chen wasn’t worried. Not because Feng Yuan could summon Guardians from the Yin World, but because Agunas and others could handle such a riot.
Of course, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan didn’t think much of a bug swarm riot compared to Feng Yuan’s proposed solutions, which made the riot seem trivial.
"I think you should take it easy. Otherwise, who knows, this holiday, you might spend it in some unique place."
Veronia turned to Feng Yuan with an odd smile, saying that this wasn’t Maomu City, and no one here would speak for Feng Yuan.
Mess around, and who knows if you won’t face severe punishment.
With a chuckle, Feng Yuan dropped the topic, leading the group to another store to buy some Insect-Repellent Lamps.
However, Feng Yuan didn’t expect that merely asking about Insect-Repellent Lamps would make the shopkeeper guess they were taking the night ferry.
"I didn’t think there were so many issues with the night ferry. Well, even though we might not get much rest, it doesn’t matter. We can catch up on sleep during the day~"
After purchasing the necessary items, Feng Yuan mentioned a bit helplessly to Qi Chen and the others, surprised by the potential night ferry issues.
Of course, these were minor concerns. If they were truly dangerous, the night ferries would have been canceled already.
"Why don’t we try another way?"
Beside him, Qi Chen couldn’t help but suggest this, not because of potential nighttime troubles but fearing that if Feng Yuan got reckless, the situation could get out of hand.
Indeed, compared to ordinary people, Feng Yuan’s mastery over power was rather terrifying.
"No need, the Serene Forest Sea at night might be quite interesting?"
Feng Yuan decisively refused, not because of the tickets, which he didn’t particularly care about, but because the night ferry intrigued him.
Based on what they knew, the night ferry wouldn’t be easy. It seemed they were heading for a troublesome and chaotic night on the boat. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said resignedly,
"If you feel unwell, just tell us. We can make sure those things don’t dare act up."
It’s somewhat worried that Feng Yuan might act impulsively in an overbearing manner. The Serene Forest Sea houses many Wild Spirit Beasts, and even Agunas wouldn’t know if it could stop Feng Yuan if he decided to act recklessly.
