Chapter 565: Chapter 566 Encounter in the Forest_1

"Change what? Stop roaming around?"

"No, I just feel there’s no need to drill into the deep forests all the time, right?"

Feeling somewhat sheepish under Wei Dongcheng’s gaze, Guo Huai was surprised and studied him for a while before Wei Dongcheng said, chuckling,

"Who said I drill into the deep forests all the time? Sometimes, it’s necessary to rest in towns for a while, isn’t it? But you... I’m not wrong in thinking you’re also a wandering traveler, am I?"

"Our strength comes from discovering all sorts of miraculous plants in the deep forests. If you think about hiding in towns all day, what will you do about your strength?"

"If you want to have a good life later, you can’t be lazy now."

Hearing Wei Dongcheng lecturing Guo Huai, Feng Yuan snickered and sidestepped away. After a while, Feng Yuan passed the bamboo slip to Mo Li and said to Wei Dongcheng,

"Thanks~ This thing is pretty useful~"

Receiving the bamboo slip, Mo Li only glanced at it before thanking Wei Dongcheng profusely. Although he was still unclear about what exactly it was, the fact that Feng Yuan found it useful was proof enough that it wasn’t something simple.

After saying farewell to Wei Dongcheng again, everyone left Yuehu Town. Looking back at the town gradually concealed by the trees, Guo Huai sighed and said,

"I hope they’ll all be alright..."

Mo Li glanced at Guo Huai but said nothing, continuing to study the bamboo slip. It recorded a special technique that, according to the description, seemed to grant a person part of a Spirit Beast’s power. After studying it for a while, Mo Li turned to Feng Yuan, who was teaching the Illusory Sound Parrot, and asked,

"What exactly is recorded on that bamboo slip?"

"That? It’s a training method. If you infuse Spirit Beast power according to that method over a long period, you can obtain abilities similar to those originally possessed by the Zhuo Ya Clan."

"You mean..."

Feng Yuan smiled at the surprised Mo Li and continued,

"Exactly, that was a solution thought up by the Zhuo Ya Clan’s geniuses after they lost the underground cavern, hoping to counter the gradually diminishing ability to control flames."

"But they overlooked that ordinary people might not be able to endure a continuous infusion of Spirit Beast power over the long term. Even wandering travelers can’t all manage it."

Picking a leaf idly, Feng Yuan examined it and said,

"You’d better not learn that technique for now. Even regular wandering travelers can’t withstand it. I’ll write you a prescription when we camp. You’ll need to prepare medicine according to the prescription to condition your body; otherwise, hardly anyone can endure that secret technique."

"And by the way~ the Zhuo Ya Clan isn’t actually called Zhuo Ya~"

Feng Yuan said with a mysterious smile, but the others didn’t cooperate, failing to give any reaction. Seeing that no one was asking, Feng Yuan said with some dissatisfaction,

"Aren’t you guys curious at all?!"

"Anyway, you’ll end up telling us yourself."

Yao Yin said dismissively, and as she tossed the leaf aside, a miffed Feng Yuan retorted,

"Well, I’m not going to say it! Hmph!"

Seeing Feng Yuan throw a small tantrum, Hua Yiyou couldn’t help but chuckle and said,

"It should be ’Zhuo Yao,’ right?"

"How did you know?"

"I just took a look at that manuscript. Although it’s written incorrectly, if you look at the context, it should be ’Zhuo Yao,’ and that also aligns with their special abilities."

At that, Feng Yuan looked up at Mo Li and said,

"What do you think of ’Lei Yao’?"

"What ’Lei Yao’?"

Feeling a bit lost in Feng Yuan’s train of thought, and unclear about what he was planning, Mo Li looked puzzled until Feng Yuan pointed at Zi Mo, smiled, and said,

"The soldiers cultivated with its power possess the attribute of thunder, right? What do you think of calling them ’Lei Yao’?"

"Not so good, it’s not appropriate to do this, they still belong to the Yongning Army."

Mo Li glanced at Feng Yuan and spoke calmly. He had a strong distaste for those nobles in Great Li City who recklessly abused the powers granted by the Royal Court of Great Li. He would not allow an excessive privileged class to emerge within the Yongning Army. Feng Yuan looked at Mo Li, smiled, and said nothing, while Yao Yin, after scanning Mo Li, couldn’t help but shake her head with a wry smile.

As those little primitive cats completed their evolution, Hua Yiyou and Guo Huai were extremely busy along the way. The various types of Cat-Type Spirit Beasts were simply too restless, scurrying around everywhere—one climbing up a nearby tree branch, another hopping about on Zi Mo’s body—and only Yao Yin, Feng Yuan, and the White Wolf Deity were not bothered by the kittens. Everyone else experienced the occasional sudden weight on their back, followed by a ’meow,’ and a little cat would appear before their eyes.

"They’re really lively."

Yao Yin looked at the frolicking kittens and said somewhat helplessly. Mo Ling couldn’t escape the fate of being harassed by the kittens either. However, she soon discovered that the kittens didn’t dare to approach Yao Yin. So she hid beside Yao Yin and watched the kittens somewhat fearfully.

"Strange, why do those kittens seem like they don’t dare to come near you?"

Guo Huai noticed something amiss. If they avoided the White Wolf Deity, it was understandable—after all, even the Frost Shell could only sit obediently on the deity’s head as ornamentation. The kittens would probably be harshly disciplined if they dared to trouble the White Wolf Deity. But it was odd for Feng Yuan and Yao Yin, who were human. It wasn’t likely that the kittens knew the pair were extremely strong, especially since Yao Yin had hardly taken action at all during the trip.

Yao Yin glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"Just release some pressure, simple as that."

"Pressure?!"

After a moment of confusion, Guo Huai realized what she meant and looked at them resentfully. These two were indeed strong and could easily deter the kittens with their aura. As for him? Better forget it. He didn’t possess the powerful strength that Feng Yuan had. And why hadn’t he thought of using pressure in the first place?

After a glance at Zi Mo, Guo Huai sighed. Although Zi Mo seemed impatient with the kittens, it was clear he actually enjoyed their company. If Zi Mo hadn’t retracted its aura, those kittens certainly wouldn’t dare to approach.

"What’s that noise?!"

Hearing the sounds of combat from a distance, Mo Li gripped the spear in his hands and shielded Mo Ling behind him, while a Black Sickle circled in Feng Yuan’s hand. Grasping the sickle, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

"I’ll go take a look."

"Why are you so eager?"

"Bear roars, sounds somewhat like the Telekinetic Brown Bear. It could be Ding Wu."

Hua Yiyou spoke calmly; at that moment, he pulled out the Iron Ruler and watched the surroundings vigilantly. Unlike when he first met Mo Li, his Iron Ruler now crackled with purple lightning.

"Shall we go take a look... too?"

Leaning against Mo Li, Mo Ling held her twin swords and tentatively proposed in a soft voice. Yao Yin chuckled while holding several talismans in her hand,

"Are you worried about him? Or her? Both of their strengths are greater than yours, you know~"

"I..."

"Be careful, let’s go take a look."

"Little girl~ need any help~"

Feng Yuan stood under a tree and said flippantly to the woman fighting not far away. She ignored Feng Yuan, but the next moment, she struck a flying arrow with her heavy sword and disregarded the arrow that stuck near her ear. Feng Yuan watched the woman curiously and said,

"Really don’t need help?"

The woman didn’t bother with Feng Yuan, just fighting hard. The Telekinetic Brown Bear protecting her was already riddled with arrows. Although Legendary Level Spirit Beasts were not weak, they were not invincible; there were always substances capable of breaching their defenses.

Seeing that the woman and the Telekinetic Brown Bear seemed to be reaching their limits, Feng Yuan swung his Black Sickle as if resigned and said,

"You’re quite stubborn. Alright then, I’m in a good mood, so I’ll take care of those enemies for you~"

With a gesture, Feng Yuan raised his Black Sickle. Just as the ’Mountain Bandits’ surrounding the woman and the Telekinetic Brown Bear watched Feng Yuan warily to prevent a sneak attack, a black bear shadow rose from behind him. The bear was mostly similar in appearance to the Telekinetic Brown Bear but was shrouded in dark energy, its crimson eyes looking utterly malevolent.

Feng Yuan revealed a fierce smile and said,

"Let’s see how you like this move!"

The black bear shadow slammed fiercely onto the ground. Just as they were considering whether to jump to avoid the attack coming from the ground, several massive black steles descended from the sky, and Feng Yuan laughed,

"GAME OVER~"
