Chapter 783: Chapter 784: Win or Lose_1

Seizing the opportunity created by Xiao Ji’s disruption of the poisonous rain, Ah Mu immediately used wood-based healing moves to quickly restore his own and Cotton’s strength. Wu Chenghan, looking at Xiao Ji steadfastly in the sky, said to Hagu,

"In that case, let’s deal with that eagle in the sky first."

It was evident that Hagu was eager to fight, and Wu Chenghan didn’t issue any more commands. Although the Beastmasters hadn’t entered the fray due to the mismatch in strength, in a real battle no one would foolishly hide on the sidelines giving orders.

With a roar and a stomp on the ground, Hagu sent large chunks of rock flying from the earth toward Xiao Ji in the sky. Just when everyone thought Xiao Ji would dodge, a pitch-dark flame quickly enveloped it and spread in all directions.

"Flame of Decay?"

Feng Yuan was somewhat astonished; he hadn’t expected Xiao Ji to have learned so many Death Series moves from Drudgeon. Sensing something, Feng Yuan exclaimed in surprise,

"It has that trick too? Qi Chen, tell Ah Mu to keep their distance."

Confused by Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen still instructed Ah Mu to retreat to the edge of the field. Noticing Ah Mu’s unusual move, Wu Chenghan didn’t speak out, trusting Hagu to respond correctly.

With a howl to the heavens, Hagu was enveloped in a water-blue barrier. After the Flame of Decay devoured the rocks and hit Hagu, extinguishing its barrier without giving the opponent time to react, a breeze laden with an aura of annihilation swept past.

Affected by the breeze, Hagu’s responsiveness seemed to diminish. Seeing this, Wu Chenghan was somewhat pleased. He felt a bit guilty about Hagu; if it wasn’t for him, Hagu wouldn’t have become so warlike. After finally finding a suitable place to settle, Hagu had become downcast for lack of a worthy opponent. Now, at least, the black Eagle-shaped Spirit Beast was a serious match for Hagu.

"An enhanced storm? But this should be an indiscriminate attack, right?"

Feng Yuan looked speechlessly at the grey storm that was starting to build up. His Divine Sense wasn’t affected by the chaotic storm mixed with all sorts of messy powers, but he didn’t believe Xiao Ji could control such chaotic energy to spare Ah Mu and Cotton. Sure enough, before long, Agunas reached out and transported Ah Mu and Cotton out of the fray.

"What happened?"

Qi Chen was somewhat stunned; both Ah Mu and Cotton appeared listless. Agunas summoned the Rain of Life to remove the Death Series energy from Ah Mu and Cotton’s bodies. Fortunately, Xiao Ji wasn’t very powerful yet, otherwise, Agunas might not have been able to easily expel that energy.

"Xiao Ji hit a teammate, that guy really is..."

Feng Yuan also felt helpless; it was clear that creature had no sense of teamwork. Xiao Ji currently seemed to be evenly matched with Hagu, but in reality, it was merely taking advantage of Hagu’s unfamiliarity with its fighting style. After a while, as Hagu became more accustomed to Xiao Ji’s strange moves, it weathered the attacks and knocked Xiao Ji out of the sky.

"You really are..."

Feng Yuan, looking at Xiao Ji lying on the ground, said in annoyance as he tapped its head. Xiao Ji, too tired to move, glared resentfully at Feng Yuan. Pulling out an Ancient Book coated in pitch-black, Feng Yuan opened it and began to chant something. Rings of black light spread underneath Xiao Ji, and rich, pure Death Series energy gushed from the center of the rings like a fountain, gradually healing Xiao Ji’s injuries.

Although Xiao Ji seemed similar to ordinary living Spirit Beasts, it was in fact a Death-type Spirit Beast. The healing effects of the Rain of Life were very poor for all Death-type Spirit Beasts, and it could even cause damage to them, so Agunas did not use the Rain of Life to heal Xiao Ji.

"Is it alright?"

Wu Chenghan came over and asked Feng Yuan, who, after petting Xiao Ji’s head, smiled and said,

"It’s fine. How about it, does Agunas still need to get some exercise sparring with it?"

"No need, this is enough for now."

Wu Chenghan, glancing at Hagu and smiling, said that, currently, Hagu appeared refreshed and was enjoying the treatment from the Rain of Life. The battle with Xiao Ji had been sufficient for Hagu, who was not a battle fanatic but was simply not used to the peaceful environment all of a sudden.

"Thank you all for this time."

Wu Chenghan expressed his gratitude to the three. Although Feng Yuan might also have been thinking of taking the opportunity to train his team members, his goal had been achieved. Moreover, he himself knew that expecting the main combat members of the special forces to find time for a fight with Hagu was unrealistic under these circumstances.

"Speaking of which, are the special forces’ requirements so low now?"

Xiao Yi curiously sized up Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan and asked. Scratching his head, Qi Chen wasn’t sure how to explain, given their lack of strength. Feng Yuan, smirking, said,

"Why? You want to join too?"

"Me? No, no, I still haven’t managed to improve the economy of Liantang Town," Xiao Yi waved his hands and hastily refused. He knew his own worth, and his abilities were not suited to join the special forces, a department that frequently engaged in combat with enemies.

When it came to the intensity of daily combat missions, the special forces were second only to the military responsible for guarding the nation’s borders. Feng Yuan, with ill-intentions, gazed at Xiao Yi and said,

"It’s not like it has to be you. Don’t you think that at times like these, joining the special forces to maintain order is more significant than economic development..."

Saying this, Feng Yuan suddenly turned to Agunas and asked,

"Do you sense it?"

Agunas nodded and said,

"It seems to be in the northern direction. Do you want me to go over?"

"No, I’m a bit worried about you going alone. Qi Chen, you guys go back on your own later. I have something to take care of first. Xiao Ji, get up."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji stood up with dissatisfaction, glanced at Feng Yuan, shook his body, and let out a puzzled cry. Placing Pomiti onto Big Cat’s head. Feng Yuan said,

"You all go back with Qi Chen first."

"What’s happened?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some concern and towards a direction, Feng Yuan said,

"There are special energy fluctuations over there, I suspect..."

"Be careful."

Without asking further, Dou Yanlan placed Cotton on her shoulder, picked up Pomiti, and said,

"Leave them to us, you... be extra careful."

Agunas directly opened the Space Gate for Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji to go through, and as the Space Gate was gradually closing, Xiao Yi said with some surprise,

"Aren’t you all going with them?"

Dou Yanlan revealed a mischievous smile and said,

"We’re not from the special forces."

"No way!"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment. Naturally, he noticed that both Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan were not in uniform, but special forces members did not always wear uniforms when carrying out tasks, so he hadn’t cared about it. Dou Yanlan smiled, took out a student ID, and flashed it, saying,

"Do you think a member of the special forces would have this?"

"A student?!"

"How can it be? You guys... What in the world is he doing? Isn’t he afraid of being reported?"

Feng Yuan’s credentials indeed contained special forces identification, which he had verified, but he had not expected Feng Yuan to be so bold as to bring two students along on a task, trivial though it may be. However, if someone complained, it would be troublesome for him as well.

"Would you report us?"

Dou Yanlan smiled mysteriously and, shaking her head, Xiao Yi said,

"No, when I posted this task, it was a bit against the rules to begin with, so naturally, I won’t; he’s not doing this because he believes he can get away with it, is he?"

"He really doesn’t care about that; he just thinks we need real combat practice."

Dou Yanlan said with an eerie look in her eyes - the idea of that guy being afraid of complaints was indeed strange. Wu Chenghan looked puzzled in the direction Feng Yuan had been looking at earlier and said,

"What exactly is over there, and why is there a strange energy lingering?"

"Strange energy?"

Xiao Yi looked puzzled, and Wu Chenghan nodded, saying,

"It doesn’t feel like the power of a Spirit Beast, that energy has a weird attraction, I don’t know what’s really happening over there."

"I’ll go take a look."

Turning around, Wu Chenghan said as he prepared to go home for his weapons, but Xiao Yi grabbed him and shook his head, saying,

"You don’t need to go, these kinds of matters will be handled by specialized people."

Looking at Xiao Yi, Wu Chenghan said earnestly,

"But I want to really integrate into Great Xia, not live like a transient. This might be an opportunity for me."
