Chapter 585: Chapter 586 The Bell Rings_1

Xiao Ji stared at Feng Yuan with dissatisfaction, incessantly shaking his body and tugging at Feng Yuan’s sleeve, acting coquettishly. In its opinion, the big, stupid bear could go back into the water, but Xiao Ji, which detested water so much, how could it dive in to catch fish?

"If you’re unwilling to go, then there’s no helping it, and I certainly don’t want to go looking for trouble."

It would be one thing if Amon caught fish on its own, as a Spirit Beast acting naively, but if Feng Yuan did so, it would seem rather unkind. Although he wouldn’t go as far as to stop it outspokenly, it would undoubtedly leave a bad impression, and Feng Yuan was too lazy to stir up such trouble.

Seeing that acting spoiled was futile, Xiao Ji sat down with a huff, visibly sulking. Pomiti mimicked Xiao Ji’s actions and sat down, but from its vacant gaze, one couldn’t tell what it was thinking at the moment.

While Xiao Ji was sulking, the Little Green Snake swam back, dragging a big package wrapped in leaves that was much larger than its own body. Feng Yuan glanced at it and then said to Xiao Ji beside him,

"Aren’t you going to thank the Little Green Snake? Otherwise, you’ll have nothing to eat later."

Xiao Ji jumped up, glanced disdainfully at Feng Yuan, and scurried over to the Little Green Snake to help drag the package back. Just then, the roasted rabbit was ready. Feng Yuan plated the roasted rabbit and placed it in front of the Illusory Sound Parrot, saying,

"Here you go, your snack."

The Illusory Sound Parrot glanced at Xiao Ji, which made a cutting motion with its claws. Feng Yuan patted the Illusory Sound Parrot’s head and said,

"No need for that, the Little Green Snake has brought back quite a lot of game. You can have this to yourself."

The Illusory Sound Parrot shook its head at Feng Yuan. Seeing the parrot’s persistent behavior, Feng Yuan chuckled and helped it cut the roasted rabbit into small pieces. Meanwhile, the parrot called out to Xiao Ji, who blushed and glared resentfully at Feng Yuan before slowly approaching the parrot, saying something. Feng Yuan picked up a fish and simultaneously dragged the package closer.

Upon opening the package, Feng Yuan indeed found several pheasants and rabbits inside; he had no idea where the Little Green Snake had caught them from. After complimenting the Little Green Snake, Feng Yuan began to process the fish. Amon appeared anxious behind him, and Feng Yuan said with amusement,

"Don’t worry, I won’t touch your fish."

Leaving Xiao Ji and the Illusory Sound Parrot to their meal, Feng Yuan lay on the lounge chair, closed his eyes, and rested, while Amon, after finishing the honey-coated grilled fish, sprawled out and fell into a deep sleep. Although its Legendary Level strength meant that several days without sleep wouldn’t affect its combat abilities, Amon still intended to rest well to prepare for the upcoming tough battle.

Hua Yiyou returned holding a basket full of kittens and was puzzled to see that Feng Yuan and Amon were already asleep. Meanwhile, Xiao Ji and the Illusory Sound Parrot were playing in the distance, their energetic selves not caring whether they needed to rest. Entering the wooden house and seeing Yao Yin enjoying tea with Mo Ling, he said with a faint smile,

"You two seem rather relaxed."

"With the great battle imminent, one must enjoy these rare good times. That guy would probably say something like that, right?"

Yao Yin took a delicate sip of tea and said, looking up at Hua Yiyou,

"Aren’t you nervous?"

"Nervous?"

"It’s my first time facing an army on my own, I don’t know..."

"Don’t worry, as long as you can protect her well, that’s enough. Leave the rest to us."

Hua Yiyou spoke with a smile, but noticing Yao Yin appearing somewhat distracted, he asked with a hint of concern,

"What’s the matter? You all right?"

"It’s nothing..."

Yao Yin sighed and looked out the window, murmuring softly. Hua Yiyou’s words had reminded her of Luo Tianxing. That fellow had been the same way when he was a novice, much weaker than her, yet he always unwittingly stood in front of her, acting like her protector.

"Don’t worry, Sister Yao Yin, I believe in you."

Mo Ling smiled, gently patted Yao Yin’s shoulder, thinking she was lost in thought because she was worried about not being able to protect her. The thought of still needing Yao Yin’s protection made Mo Ling feel a bit sad; without her as a burden, perhaps Mo Li would not be so troubled by many decisions. With that in mind, Mo Ling’s thoughts turned to Feng Yuan.

Though Feng Yuan was capricious in his actions, if she wanted to increase her strength rapidly, he might be the only one capable of helping her. The question was, would he really help her? Mo Ling had her doubts, because the limitations Feng Yuan and the others often spoke of made her realize that they couldn’t just do whatever they wished.

Often, those so-called limitations forced them to choose complicated courses of action, so the help Feng Yuan could offer on a daily basis was minimal, though whether it was because he was genuinely unable to help or just lazy, Mo Ling wasn’t sure.

Standing up, Mo Ling headed outside. Seeing Feng Yuan resting there, she sighed quietly and returned to her seat with an unsettled mind. Yao Yin glanced her way and said,

"There’s no need to worry, you know the strength of that big white dog; there’s no need to let that guy protect you anymore."

"Besides, that bastard might forget everything and rush to the front as soon as he sees battle, heh, men, that’s just how they are."

Mo Ling looked at Yao Yin with a slightly amused expression and said,

"It can’t be that bad."

"Just look at your brother, and then Hua Yiyou, that guy. When he hears battle, he just throws you to me to take care of, without considering his own strength. What good can he do against an army?"

Hearing Yao Yin grumble in displeasure, Mo Ling smiled and refilled her tea, saying,

"Drink more, sister Yao Yin, it will help sober you up."

"I haven’t been drinking..."

Yao Yin looked helplessly at Mo Ling’s beaming smile in front of her.

"Although it’s not deep into the night, it doesn’t seem much better..."

Looking at the splash of sunset in the sky, Feng Yuan said helplessly as Xiao Ji invoked the Coming of the Future. Little Green Snake slithered to Feng Yuan’s feet, hissing, and looking at Little Green Snake, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"How about you and the Illusory Sound Parrot stay in the back?"

Seeing that Little Green Snake seemed to disagree, Feng Yuan glanced at Pomiti and said,

"But if you come to the front line with me, what about Pomiti?"

Hearing this, Little Green Snake hesitated. Although it also wanted to fight at the front to prove its worth, it wouldn’t be good if Pomiti got into trouble because of it. The Illusory Sound Parrot flapped its wings in dissatisfaction, seemingly unhappy with Feng Yuan’s arrangement. Glancing at the parrot, Feng Yuan said annoyedly,

"Forget about it, if you go to the front line, you’re just a slightly better cannon fodder. You’ll see when you get there, but be careful and don’t get too close to the battlefield."

"That bell doesn’t sound quite right."

Mo Li adjusted his armor, speaking warily, while Zi Mo uneasily fiddled with the dirt beneath his feet. Feng Yuan glanced in the direction of Nanyu City and said,

"It’s fine, that’s the Miracle Bell, it must be the people from the Nanyu Royal Court using it."

"Miracle Bell?"

"Yes, that bell’s sound is the power of the Miracle Bell. What else did you think could significantly enhance the strength of all Spirit Beasts?"

Feng Yuan looked at Guo Huai annoyedly and said. If it were people like Mo Li who didn’t understand, it was fine, but for someone like Guo Huai, who came from the modern age and had a system to cheat with, not recognizing the Miracle Bell was a bit too much.

Scratching his head, Guo Huai said confusedly,

"What kind of move is that? I just noticed Pu Pu and the others all have a Miracle Blessing, and it seemed odd..."

"Why are you looking at me like that..."

Shrinking his neck, Guo Huai said somewhat puzzled, but Feng Yuan just sighed without saying much. At that moment, the system conveniently appeared.

『Ding~ The Miracle Bell is a highly renowned move in modern times, and historically many battles have experienced miraculous turnarounds because of it.』

(Is that so?)

Apparently feeling embarrassed by Guo Huai’s cluelessness, the system silently threw out all battle information related to the Miracle Bell, and in an instant, Guo Huai’s vision was filled with the system’s info panels.

"The Miracle Bell, huh... I wonder if it can create a miracle."

Liu Wenli wasn’t completely ignorant about this move that could turn the tide of battle, but she didn’t hold out much hope for it. The precondition for the Miracle Bell turning the tide of battle was that the disparity between the two sides wasn’t too vast; otherwise, even if it could greatly enhance strength, it would still be useless. Nobody can defeat Legendary Level strength with just Elite Level power, not even Feng Yuan could do that.
