Chapter 481: Chapter 481 Parting_1

"This bonfire has a soul?"

Looking at the withered branches that continuously supplied fuel for the bonfire, the Agunas phantom remarked without words, while Feng Yuan said as he cooked,

"Why not? I’m not using it for anything practical; it’s just an ornament to set the ambience, why bother about it so much?"

"Set the ambience..."

Glancing at the blue-flamed bonfire, the Agunas phantom hesitated, not quite understanding what Feng Yuan was thinking, as the young boy said cautiously,

"That... can we put out the fire? It’s kind of creepy..."

"Why? Isn’t a bonfire necessary for camping?"

Eyeing the full set of culinary equipment that Feng Yuan seemed to have conjured from nowhere, the boy hesitated for a moment and said,

"But... I haven’t seen you use the bonfire..."

"Such a hassle..."

Feng Yuan said with dissatisfaction, and the bonfire extinguished itself. Realizing that the moonlight wasn’t bright enough, Feng Yuan lightly tapped the wok with his spatula. In the next moment, specks of blue flames emerged from the ground and floated in the air. Observing his hideout transformed by the ghostly blue flames, the Agunas phantom said helplessly,

"Could you please stop playing around... You’re scaring everyone."

Looking at the boy who had sought refuge by Karnas, Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile,

"Being so timid isn’t good, you know~"

Xiao Ji glanced at Feng Yuan then nestled by his feet with its fluffy head, rubbing against him. Meeting Xiao Ji’s pitiful gaze, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"You don’t like it either? Alright then~"

No sooner had Feng Yuan spoken than the blue flames turned into yellow ones, and wild grass rapidly grew on the ground. The grass was so neat that it resembled a green carpet.

The Agunas phantom flicked its tail and watched Pomiti joyfully rolling in the grass. Xiao Ji seemed eager to join but appeared worried about something. The Little Green Snake looked on in surprise. Observing the grass, the Agunas phantom said with some confusion,

"Is this an authority or a special move?"

"It’s Estir’s exclusive move, Forest Domain, except I restrained it so it wouldn’t grow any trees," Feng Yuan explained as he placed the food on a wooden picnic table.

"It’s ready, time to eat~"

"This guy..."

Seeing Feng Yuan leaning on Xiao Ji, who was now in its Coming of the Future form, the Agunas phantom was somewhat speechless. After all, Xiao Ji had reverted to its original shape during dinner to catch fewer wild rabbits and chickens, only to transform back into a bed for Feng Yuan when it was time to sleep.

However, considering that Xiao Ji appeared to enjoy it, the Agunas phantom didn’t feel it had much to say. Looking at Carnas engaging with the young boy, the Agunas phantom felt a bit emotional. Even though the boy might not understand Carnas’s words, he seemed to grasp the meaning through Carnas’s expressions and gestures.

Looking at Feng Yuan who had fallen asleep, the Agunas phantom slowly settled on the grass. Although unable to make contact, it still walked as if treading on grass, taking slow steps. As it passed by Pomiti, the Agunas phantom noticed that the creature seemed to be having a nightmare, trembling uncontrollably.

Before the Agunas phantom could act, the Little Green Snake, seemingly awakened, took a look at Pomiti and gently caressed its body with its tail, soothing it like an adult comforting a child to sleep. Moments later, Pomiti stopped trembling, and its body relaxed. The Little Green Snake looked at the Agunas phantom questioningly.

The Agunas phantom gestured with its paw and slowly continued forward. The Little Green Snake glanced at the Agunas phantom, closed its eyes, and lied down to rest once more.

"You, are you from the Great Li side?"

After looking at his clothing, Feng Yuan nodded and addressed the young boy,

"Yes, why? Don’t tell me you’re from the Great Cang military. Although the Chiyun Mountain Range is partially on your territory, your strength..."

Nibbling on a chicken drumstick, the boy said calmly,

"You seem quite powerful. It’s just that your Great Li..."

Hesitating for a moment, the boy continued,

"Great Li has now become a giant vortex, and no matter how strong one is, if caught in it, they’ll find it hard to break free."

Feng Yuan regarded the boy with some curiosity and asked,

"Who told you all this?"

Feng Yuan didn’t believe the boy understood these matters, as he clearly seemed confused about the meaning of his words. With some sadness, the boy said,

"Mr. Du told me, he seems very interested in these things."

"Why do you have that expression?"

"But in our village, Mr. Du’s abilities... as they say, are not able to be utilized, it’s just that no matter how much we persuade Mr. Du, he refuses to leave."

"Do you really want him to leave?"

The youth shook his head, looking a bit perplexed as he said,

"I want him to stay, everyone likes him a lot. It’s just that the village chief always says that him staying in the village is a waste of his talent and is always trying to drive him away."

Feng Yuan smiled and then said,

"Your village chief, really... who do you think is smarter between the Mr. Du you mentioned and the village chief?"

"Of course, Mr. Du."

"Then how does your village chief know why Mr. Du really wants to stay in your village? Maybe for him, this is just part of his strategy?"

After thinking for a bit, the youth said,

"No, that’s not it. I overheard the village chief speaking to Mr. Du, saying that even if he is disappointed about something, he shouldn’t just... it sounded like he also mentioned Great Li and Great Yan."

"But usually, Mr. Du only occasionally warns us where not to go and which dangerous places to avoid. I don’t feel like he has any particular plans."

"Has he ever warned you not to go near Great Li?"

The youth nodded and said,

"Yes, and he also told me to persuade the God of Ore to leave as soon as possible. The farther away from Great Li, the better. If implicated, it could cause big trouble."

"It’s just... I didn’t expect it..."

The youth lowered his head with a look of regret. Feng Yuan turned to Karnas sitting beside him and asked,

"Have you decided to go to Mist Island?"

Karnas nodded. The youth looked at Feng Yuan with a hopeful gaze and said,

"Do you know where it’s going? Could you leave me a map? When I grow up, I want to go see it and see if it’s made any new friends."

"If it hasn’t made new friends, maybe I could keep it company..."

After glancing at the youth, Feng Yuan said with a tone of regret,

"I’m afraid that won’t do. Even if I gave you a map, you wouldn’t be able to find that place."

"Why not?"

The youth looked puzzled at Feng Yuan, who explained with a slight smile,

"Mist Island is part of Lorraine Tower’s territory. It’s not a place anyone can freely enter or leave. Without permission from Lorraine Tower, you can’t get into Mist Island."

"But... is that place really good for it?"

The youth looked somewhat conflicted at Feng Yuan, his hand gently stroking Xiao Ji’s feathers. Feng Yuan spoke softly,

"I don’t know, but Mist Island can guarantee it won’t be ambushed like it has been now."

"An ambush on the God of Ore?"

The youth looked at Feng Yuan with a shocked expression. Feng Yuan nodded and explained the situation here to the youth. After hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, the youth clenched his teeth reluctantly and looked at Karnas, saying,

"Considering this, it seems that the God of Ore really only has the option of going where you mentioned... it might be the best choice."

Feng Yuan then said to Karnas,

"It’s still up to it to decide. Now that we’re done eating, we should ask where it intends to go. Agunas, help translate later, okay?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, the shadow of Agunas flicked its tail.

"Have you really decided to go to Mist Island? Once I’ve taken you there, I’ll be leaving, you know. If you think about moving again, you’ll only be able to find Lorraine Tower, who doesn’t know when to be home."

Karnas nodded earnestly. After saying an unwilling goodbye to Karnas, the youth turned and left. The area had been targeted, and now that he was leaving first, Feng Yuan and Carnas could provide some cover. If he waited until they had left and then encountered arriving soldiers, it could spell trouble.

After a long while, seeing Karnas return from escorting the youth, Feng Yuan said to Karnas,

"Gather them up, we’re ready to leave."
