Chapter 1385 - 1386: The Strange Troublemaker

Chapter 1385: Chapter 1386: The Strange Troublemaker

The group played on the beach for a long time until the sun started to set. Feng Yuan and the others gathered and realized Agunas and the others hadn’t returned yet. Long Boduo, somewhat puzzled, contacted Agunas via the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network and said,

"It seems they’re still working on the rock paintings. They won’t be joining us tonight."

"Is it really necessary to spend that long on rock paintings?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan was a bit confused but didn’t say much. After all, Veronia’s pursuit of perfection wasn’t unknown to him. Najia, sitting on Xiao Hei’s head, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Should we go over and check on them?"

"Probably not necessary. They also didn’t ask for our help. By the way, is there any event at Wilt Bay tonight?"

"Does the Naughty Ghosts’ Day count?"

"Uh... you really joined them?"

Feng Yuan was speechless as he looked at Long Boduo. When Long Boduo had returned with a satisfied look, he thought it was because Long Boduo had successfully taught those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts a lesson. Now it seemed that it might not be the case. Could it be that this guy was so happy because he managed to join that group of Ghost Series Spirit Beasts?

Chuckling, Long Boduo showed a special black metal badge and said,

"See this~ the Naughty Ghosts’ Badge~ Those guys aren’t honest without a lesson."

"Did you, steal their stuff?"

Sitting on Xiao Hei’s head, Najia looked at Long Boduo with a peculiar expression. Long Boduo shook his head and tossed the badge, catching it with the other hand, and said,

"No, I just taught them a lesson. Who knew they’d obediently give me the Naughty Ghosts’ Badge, saying only those with this badge are part of them."

"Can I have a look at that badge?"

While teasing Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan’s peripheral vision caught that badge, and he paused, speaking to Long Boduo. Passing the badge to him, Long Boduo said,

"This thing is the team’s token. You just need to act together. Not every Naughty Ghost has one."

"Strange, this badge doesn’t seem like something a Spirit Beast could create."

Examining the badge, Feng Yuan, puzzled and uncertain, said. Najia paused, directing Xiao Hei to move forward and closely observe the badge in Feng Yuan’s hand, and said,

"Indeed, this badge seems to be designed specifically for Ghost Series Spirit Beasts. Its craftsmanship should be human-made. However, weren’t those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts wild?"

"You mean, someone is using those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts?"

Long Boduo was stunned. Upon understanding Najia’s meaning, he said with a grim expression. Though he didn’t have a near-obsessive love for wild Spirit Beasts like Agunas, he didn’t like the idea of Ghost Series Spirit Beasts being deceived and controlled either. Glancing at Long Boduo, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"Not really. This thing was forged a long time ago. By the way, you mentioned this badge is the Naughty Ghosts’ token?"

"Yeah, it seems like every team has one. This thing, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed that it can enhance the power of Ghost Series Ultimate Moves."

It was not until then that Long Boduo realized the badge could enhance the power of Ghost Series Ultimate Moves. As for why he hadn’t noticed it before, it was entirely because the enhancement effect was extremely slight for him. Originally, the power of his Ultimate Move was fluctuating, and this thing only made its power slightly stronger. Without deliberate attention, it would be hard to notice.

"Only the team? Not given to every Ghost Series Spirit Beast?"

"Probably not. As far as I know, this thing seems quite precious. That team of Ghost Series Spirit Beasts might not be able to obtain this badge when they return. If they can’t, they might have to drop out of the Naughty Ghosts. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to return the badge?"

Long Boduo tried to recall and said. Hearing Long Boduo’s answer, Feng Yuan looked at the badge, seemingly lost in thought, and said,

"Wasn’t their base on Ghost Island?"

"Yeah, they said holding the badge would lead you there. But I didn’t ask exactly where. Do you want to go? I can take you there. They should give me that courtesy."

Saying so, Long Boduo had a proud expression. Feng Yuan glared at Long Boduo and said in exasperation,

"You? Did you forget how they teased you before? Anyway, we’re planning to visit Ghost Island tomorrow. Oh, and you’d better not join whatever Naughty Ghosts’ Night is happening tonight, considering your special identity."

Remembering something, Feng Yuan advised Long Boduo with a warning. Although those Divine Beasts were unreliable, it would be troublesome if Long Boduo joined them for mischief since he was a Ghost-type Divine Beast. If he were misunderstood by humans, who knows what might happen.

Even though he knew Middel, explaining would still be troublesome. Not to mention if Agunas found out, who knows what would happen. Perhaps Agunas wouldn’t interfere, but it might just as well be the opposite.

Facing Najia’s stern gaze, Long Boduo scratched his head and said softly,

"I think it sounds like fun. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it with care!"

"I can only remind you, it’s up to you how to proceed, but I think it’s best not to mess around until we understand what the Naughty Ghosts are up to."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan handed the badge back to Long Boduo and said. Najia looked at Feng Yuan in puzzlement and asked,

"Do you think there’s something wrong with those Naughty Ghosts?"

"It’s hard to say. After all, it’s rather strange that such a man-made badge would end up in their hands. As for whether they’re plotting something bad, probably not. The locals aren’t fools after all. However, I find it odd that they tolerate those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts acting recklessly."

Feng Yuan rubbed his chin, holding Xiao Ji, and Dou Yanlan tapped her forehead and said,

"This indeed seems problematic. Unless they’ve been in long-term contact and sensed goodwill from the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, typically encountering them without being scared or even taking action would lead people to avoid them. Yet, they obviously didn’t show such behavior."

"Or maybe, to them, those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts are just part of this small town. But there isn’t a famous Ghost-type Beast Master in Wilt Bay, so where does that mentality come from?"

"That’s why I don’t want Long Boduo joining them before knowing the full truth. Otherwise, if there’s a misunderstanding, things could get bad."

"Of course, if you want to have fun, that’s fine."

Seeing Long Boduo’s disappointed look, Feng Yuan smiled helplessly and said. Long Boduo shook his head, saying,

"You’re right. If I caused a drastic change in their lives, it would indeed be bad. But, those Naughty Ghosts are really fun."

"Let’s check out Ghost Island tomorrow. If there’s no issue, you can come here via the Gate of Netherworld to play, which is actually nice."

Patting Long Boduo’s shoulder, Feng Yuan smiled. Those Ghost-type Divine Beasts always hid in the Netherworld, and he wasn’t sure if that was good or bad. But now, seeing Long Boduo begin to interact with humans in the real world, he considered it a positive development.

"The farthest we’ll probably go is Ghost Island. Going further might be problematic. Delong Tower tells me they’re in the nearby sea, and Storm Monta is breeding. For safety’s sake, it’s best not to venture too far out at sea."

"Storm Monta? Isn’t that known as a peculiar Spirit Beast like a little Delong Tower?"

Hearing Najia’s words, Feng Yuan was taken aback. Although that Spirit Beast had no relation to Delong Tower, due to their whale-like appearance, similar patterns, and Storm Monta’s ability to raise towering waves, people often mistook them for a part of Delong Tower’s clan.

Najia looked at Feng Yuan and shook her head, saying,

"You’d better not say that in front of Delong Tower. It’ll get angry."

"Hehe, it’s just a habitual phrase. Can’t help it; even the Alliance calls it that. But why did Storm Monta come here? Don’t they usually live in the Starlit Sea?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan curiously asked. That Spirit Beast was fearsome with immense destructive power, but they typically lived in the Starlit Sea, rarely approaching the Black Sea, let alone its coasts. Has something happened?

"It seems the underwater energy currents were disrupted due to disturbances from the Divine Land Region, causing anomalies that made them wander around. Some ended up here by accident."

Najia wasn’t very sure either, but it was what Delong Tower said, and given its personality, it probably wasn’t joking about this matter.
