Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Genesis_1

"So you used Feather Fall with a soul attack attribute to counter the elemental attack?"

Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji with amusement, then glared at Xiao Ji as it deactivated Feather Fall and started to gather energy again. This time, after releasing Feather Fall, Xiao Ji paused to sense its surroundings and then looked at Feng Yuan, who seemed to understand what Xiao Ji meant. Feng Yuan once again formed a fireball in his hand, but this time the fireball only destroyed a small amount of fluff, prompting a proud look from Xiao Ji towards Feng Yuan.

"Happy now? How could I possibly lie to you, geez."

"Besides, in addition to Devouring, the Decay Attribute of the Death Series should also have some effect. You could try it, I reckon you should be able to convert energy into the Decay Attribute."

Hearing what Feng Yuan said, Xiao Ji immediately deactivated Feather Fall and released it again. After sensing for a bit and deactivating Feather Fall several times, Xiao Ji let out a satisfied cry and looked expectantly at Feng Yuan.

"Narrow the range, speed up the movement of the fluff."

After watching Xiao Ji do as told, Feng Yuan threw another fireball, which this time destroyed a large amount of fluff. Seeing about a third of the fluff gone, Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with confusion.

"Try walking towards that tree."

Though puzzled, Xiao Ji slowly made its way towards the trees. As Xiao Ji moved, the fluff slowly approached the trees, and upon contact with them, the fluff smashed violently against the trunks and disintegrated, quickly turning part of the trunks to ash. In no time, the trees fell down due to the impact of the fluff, and Xiao Ji, with eyes lit up, continued walking forward until all the fluff was gone.

Seeing that Xiao Ji had knocked down quite a few trees, Feng Yuan smiled and waved his hand. In the sky’s throne, the hooded figure holding a Lantern shaked it gently, and the next moment, the trees were restored to their original state.

"You can try to see the effect of fluff with different attributes hitting it."

Looking at the excited Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan suggested.

For a while, that patch of forest suffered greatly, being constantly ravaged by Xiao Ji and then restored by Feng Yuan, until late into the night when Feng Yuan stopped the eager Xiao Ji, who still wanted to continue, saying,

"That’s enough for today. We should rest, we still need to look for clues tomorrow."

Xiao Ji happily cried out and returned to Feng Yuan’s side. The shadow of Agunas expressed its puzzlement,

"Why would the damage of Decay be greater than that of Devouring? There isn’t much difference between the two."

"Decay has immediate effect upon contact, unlike Devouring, which has a process. The fluff exploded rapidly upon contact."

"Moreover, the Decay Attribute inherently targets all things of the Yang World, whether they are alive or not. Therefore, Decay doesn’t really affect things related to death and the Ghost Series."

"Devouring is different; the effect is more or less the same on everyone."

After hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, the shadow of Agunas fell silent for a long while.

"If we still haven’t found any clues, we’ll return and take Guo Huai with us."

The next day, Feng Yuan said to Xiao Ji, as Agunas’ shadow expressed its doubts,

"You’re not worried about Yao Yin?"

"Let her stay with Mo Ling, she’ll make a good bodyguard for him."

"Is... is that okay?"

Seeing Agunas’ shadow hesitating, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"Don’t forget what happened on the island before. Although I don’t know what spell she used, what I do know for sure is that it was definitely not her trump card."

"After all, she’s from a Third-tier World. In terms of means, she isn’t something this world can compare with."

Sighing, Feng Yuan listened as Agunas said with some worry,

"That Xingluo Realm won’t really attack us, will it?"

"If They aren’t foolish, They won’t do that. Even Third-tier Worlds have their enemies if they really want to attack."

Rubbing the still drowsy Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan started packing up the tent and began preparing breakfast.

It took a while for Xiao Ji to completely wake up to the smell of food, and it looked at the meal in front of it with some confusion, certain that it hadn’t gathered any food for Feng Yuan before sleeping. It circled Feng Yuan a few times and sniffed, not detecting any signs of battle. Seeing Xiao Ji’s puzzled expression, Feng Yuan laughed and playfully tousled Xiao Ji’s head,

"Why wouldn’t ingredients come to me on their own?"

Xiao Ji, still puzzled, looked at Feng Yuan, not understanding what he meant, while Agunas’ shadow said with a speechless tone,

"You’re using your supreme authority for stuff like this."

Unlike Xiao Ji, which had been mostly sleepy, Agunas, who had been following Feng Yuan, witnessed how Feng Yuan managed to produce a plentiful breakfast. An array of peculiar coincidences occurred, like a rabbit running into a tree with spices in its mouth, or vegetables falling from the claws of an eagle that was inexplicably flying overhead. Who knows what kind of coincidence caused the eagle to gather vegetables? Either way, the ingredients arrived just as Feng Yuan said, in a bizarre coincidence all of their own accord.

"Hehe, there’s even fruit for after the meal~"

Watching a wolf running with a big melon in its mouth, only to stumble and drop the melon to the ground—rather than picking it back up, it turned and ran off, Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with a strange expression.

"Why look at me? I told you, it’s the food that delivers itself to our doorstep~"

"Doesn’t what you’re doing really have no effect on the fates? Is there really no side effect to forcibly turning an extremely unlikely event into a certain one?"

Feng Yuan waved his hand dismissively as he picked up his food and said,

"There’s basically no impact, don’t forget I have an avatar stationed here that can adjust to any change at any moment—so long as things aren’t overdone, there shouldn’t be any problems."

"Xiao Ji, why aren’t you eating? Finish up so we can continue scouting around nearby."

Feng Yuan asked with some surprise upon seeing Xiao Ji standing still. Xiao Ji then started pecking slowly at the food on the plate after glancing at Feng Yuan.

"Huff huff~ Let’s go~"

Climbing onto the back of the black bird, Feng Yuan shouted with joy, and seemingly infected by his enthusiasm, Xiao Ji also cried out joyfully and spread its wings to take to the sky.

After patrolling the Cangyun Mountain Range for a long time without any clues, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly,

"Forget it, seems like there’s no hope left, better to take Guo Huai away before something happens to him during the beast tide."

"This way, there’s something to deal with first, the beast tide won’t happen for another two days anyway."

Xiao Ji, hearing Feng Yuan’s command, was somewhat puzzled, but flew in the direction indicated by Feng Yuan after hesitating for a moment—until reaching above a small village, when Feng Yuan said,

"Land here."

Looking at the black bird slowly descending from the sky, a young man said with bewilderment,

"What’s he doing here?"

"Wait! Xiao Ji, take off!"

Feng Yuan noticed something and quickly shouted. Xiao Ji, still baffled, ascended swiftly, and as the young man looked on in confusion, Feng Yuan squinted at the distant forest and said,

"Attack that with hellfire!"

Feeling the spiritual power Feng Yuan provided for locking onto the target, Xiao Ji turned towards it and flapped its wings fiercely.

"That damn bird’s taken off again, what do we do?"

"Never mind it for now, the main task is more important."

"Is everyone ready?"

"Why target this village... aren’t they our citizens of Great Li?"

A young soldier asked the leader hesitantly, to which the middle-aged man leading them replied with scorn,

"For His Highness’s great cause, it’s a great blessing for them to sacrifice their lives. Are you sympathizing with them?"

"I..."

"It seems so, take this spy away!"

At this moment, the young soldier suddenly broke free from the encircling men and rushed out from their hiding spot toward the village, shouting as he ran,

"Run! Someone’s coming to slaughter the village!!!"

"Damn it!"

The middle-aged man cursed under his breath as he drew out an exquisite longbow. Meanwhile, in the village, hearing the shouts of warning, the hunter on guard hesitated before ringing the large bell. As the bell rang, people inside the houses grabbed their weapons and ran out their doors.

"There’s always someone causing trouble, I really don’t understand what those in charge of recruitment are thinking!"

The middle-aged man, bow in hand and aiming at the young soldier, cursed angrily. The next moment, the young soldier, who was almost at the village entrance, fell in a pool of blood.

"Charge! Kill them all!"

The middle-aged man raised his bow again, this time aiming at the hunters on watch.
