Chapter 533: Chapter 534 The Transformation of Little Original Cat_1

Hua Yiyou walked over, curiously looking at Nagna as it gnawed on a fruit, and asked,

"What is this?"

"The Life Divine Beast Nagna. The power I’ve been using lately is all borrowed from it."

"A companion from Wolf Mountain Hall?"

"No... Why would you think that..."

Feng Yuan looked speechlessly at Mo Li, who glanced at Nagna with confusion and then back to Feng Yuan before saying strangely,

"Isn’t it usually only Temple companions that lend their power?"

"That’s not necessarily the case. As long as you gain their approval, it’s not a must to be a so-called Temple companion."

"Those misconceptions are just the result of everyone confining each other."

"Confined by each other..."

Mo Li looked somewhat awkwardly at Nagna, who actually nodded as if agreeing with Feng Yuan’s words. Sitting on a mushroom stool he had conjured up, Feng Yuan picked up a fiery red Da Yuan Cat and said,

"It’s just as it is. These Spirit Beasts bear too many responsibilities as they provide protection to the families or forces of the humans they are closely associated with."

"And those humans hold the Spirit Beasts in high regard, which leads them to avoid casually befriending other Spirit Beasts unless the other party lacks a force and is willing to join them."

"However, many Spirit Beasts actually don’t like this."

"Then you still..."

Guo Huai glanced disdainfully at the Da Yuan Cat and the group of small messenger birds, and as for the Tengteng Turtle? That fellow had long surrendered itself to Hua Yiyou’s culinary skills, stubbornly clinging to Hua Yiyou and doggedly following him.

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said irritably,

"I don’t recall ever claiming they were directly protecting Yongning in the same way those Protogenos Spirit Beasts do, did I?"

"I just meant for them to spend some time with humans. As for the small messenger birds, it can’t be helped. The wild is too dangerous, and it’s just for delivering messages, it’s not like they have been asked to do anything else."

"That’s sophistry."

The small messenger birds chirruped happily, flying around the people and landing on everyone’s shoulder. Curiously observing everyone, although they didn’t understand what the people were saying, their little heads didn’t have too many thoughts. Yet, feeling that the people seemed to be talking about them, they happily expressed their affinity with everyone.

While Mo Li had brought a fair number of Guards, there were still far fewer than the small messenger birds. After a small messenger bird perched on everyone’s shoulder, those without a place to land turned their attention to the Da Yuan Cats causing mischief.

Seeing the small Da Yuan Cats, each with a small messenger bird standing on their heads, which made them afraid to move for fear of accidentally knocking the birds off, Feng Yuan said with a somewhat amused tone,

"Really... Aren’t they worried that those Da Yuan Cats might attack them..."

"Why would companions attack each other?"

Bending over, Mo Li picked up a small messenger bird from the head of a Da Yuan Cat. Noticing the disappearance of the bird from its head, the Da Yuan Cat swiftly squeezed into the gap between the cushion and the basket, leaving only a small tail shaking there. Soon after, the little tail also disappeared into the gap.

As more and more small messenger birds were picked up by Mo Li, more and more small Da Yuan Cats squeezed into the gaps, visibly lifting the cushion. The big Da Yuan Cat let out a dissatisfied meow, its paw gently tapping the cushion as it prepared to scold the small ones. Suddenly, it noticed that the small messenger birds seemed to have taken an interest in it.

The hair on the big Da Yuan Cat bristled slightly, and in the next moment, the whole cat vanished into the gap, with not even a tail left showing.

Watching the cushion tremble, Feng Yuan took out a fruit and tossed it, saying exasperatedly,

"Really... to scare them like that..."

After a while, a small Da Yuan Cat with dappled red fur peeked its head out from the gap, observing for a bit. Seeing that all the small messenger birds were gone, it quickly lept out and meowed happily. Feng Yuan picked up the small Da Yuan Cat and said to Guo Huai,

"Look how great this little guy is—its potential in the future will definitely be strong."

"How can you tell its potential?"

Guo Huai asked, puzzled. His system could only display the energy orientation and energy amount of the Da Yuan Cats, along with their possible evolutionary forms and progress, but it showed nothing about their potential.

Playing with the small Da Yuan Cat, Feng Yuan explained,

"Look at its fur. The color of the fur is closely linked to the energy inside its body; the purer the color, the purer the energy."

"But aren’t there some yellow spots on it?"

Guo Huai pointed to the specks of yellow fluff on the Da Yuan Cat, his voice filled with confusion. Unlike the patches of red fluff, these yellow ones varied from a small tuft to possibly just one or two strands—not very eye-catching. However, having observed the small Da Yuan Cat for several days, Guo Huai easily recognized it.

When he first noticed the appearance of the yellow fluff, he was worried for a while. But upon seeing that the Da Yuan Cat was still so energetic, he didn’t intervene further. After all, he wasn’t like Feng Yuan, who could easily solve the complex issues of Spirit Beasts.

Observing the small Da Yuan Cat, Feng Yuan said, speechless,

"Have you forgotten what a Pyrocat looks like?"

"The fur on a Pyrocat isn’t purely red, but red with yellow patterns."

"These are their patterns."

Feng Yuan pointed at the yellow fluff on the Da Yuan Cat and said while scratching his head, Guo Huai replied with a smile,

"Is that so?"

"You can’t just look at one color, like this..."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he put the small Da Yuan Cat back in the basket, observed the kittens popping their heads out, and picked up one intermingled with golden fluff, saying,

"Take this one, for example. What do you think when you look at it?"

"It should be their static electricity, right?"

Guo Huai said as he looked at the small Da Yuan Cat. In fact, among this group of kittens, there were both Golden Brocade Cats and Little Electric Cats, and these two types of Cat-Type Spirit Beasts had the same fur color. Although they had slight differences in appearance, if it weren’t for Guo Huai’s several days of observation, he would probably only be able to identify them through system prompts, rather than easily recognizing the ones evolving towards a Little Electric Cat.

"You’re right, it’s the static electricity on their fur. But your observations these past days have been quite useful~"

Feng Yuan said and then picked up another kitten with golden fluff, adding,

"It’s easy for people to mix them up~"

Hua Yiyou said, somewhat puzzled,

"Speaking of which, they seem almost identical in appearance. Why is one Lightning attribute and the other Metal attribute?"

"You can’t tell them apart?"

After glancing at Feng Yuan, Hua Yiyou chuckled and shook his head, saying,

"If he hadn’t pointed it out, I wouldn’t have known they belong to two different types of Spirit Beasts. Looking at their appearance, they’re too similar."

"I still get them mixed up even now."

"It’s simple; just gently approach their golden fur with your hand."

Hua Yiyou, still puzzled, gently touched one of the small Da Yuan Cats and looked at Feng Yuan, asking,

"What’s special about it?"

"The fur of a Golden Brocade Cat usually doesn’t have any special texture unless they metalize their fur. Then it feels like metal, although the defense isn’t all that great..."

"As for the Little Electric Cat..."

Feng Yuan looked mischievously at Hua Yiyou, who was puzzled as he reached out to touch the small Da Yuan Cat that was evolving into a Little Electric Cat. As soon Hua Yiyou touched it, he retracted his hand quickly as if he had been pricked by something.

"Little Electric Cats carry static electricity; they’re not suitable for petting..."

Guo Huai said, speechless. The differences between the two were clearly stated in the system-provided data. Although he hadn’t seen the metalized fur of a Golden Brocade Cat, the golden fur on a Little Electric Cat indeed always carried static electricity. The electricity made their fur appear fluffy, but petting them...

Unless you’re like Feng Yuan, who isn’t bothered by static electricity, Golden Brocade Cats would be preferable to Little Electric Cats. After all, the metalization of the Golden Brocade Cat’s fur is controllable and its strength is only about that of ordinary metal, but on an everyday basis, it’s no different from normal cat fur.

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"Didn’t you brief him on the differences between these cats?"

"I did, but he might have forgotten."

After pondering, Hua Yiyou said,

"You did mention that the fur on a Little Electric Cat always carries static electricity, but when I touched it just now, there wasn’t any..."
