Chapter 792: 793 Chapter Opening_1

"A special rain prayer, huh?"

Standing under an umbrella and looking at the misty drizzle in front of him, Feng Yuan spoke softly. Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan donned the Wolf God’s Ritual Robes with hoods up. As the Lake’s Brave Ones, they needed to fight in person, so umbrellas were not suitable for them. Feng Yuan, not participating, was not affected.

Xiao Ji shook his body unhappily. Although the rain could not stay on his feathers, the constant flow of cold water still made him uncomfortable.

"Ready?"

Feng Yuan looked at Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen. Both were carrying a backpack, looking energized, and nodded. Qi Chen looked up at the sky and said,

"It’s a pity our luck isn’t great—it’s actually raining today."

"That’s not luck. A Spirit Beast must have used a rain prayer move. Judging by the scope, it’s either a Sacred Beast Level or a Divine Beast guarding the city..."

Feng Yuan didn’t quite grasp the purpose of praying for rain. Was it to increase difficulty or enhance the atmosphere? In any case, he always felt slightly out of sync with the thought processes of the Dao Lake City folks.

A Space Gate directly brought the three of them to the venue for Lake’s Brave Ones. Although there was still a long time before the event started, they were not very interested in sightseeing in Dao Lake City. After its development, Dao Lake City was not much different from other cities, except that the urban district of Dao Lake City was relatively small and built on an island.

Those so-called local characteristic buildings only remained on other islands. The traces of past history had largely disappeared from Yongzhen Island, where Dao Lake City’s urban district was located. Even Feng Yuan had no interest in strolling around a city that looked much like Maomu City.

After Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan filled out their registration forms, the staff member in front saw Feng Yuan not coming forward and said somewhat displeased,

"Come on and fill in your registration information. Hurry up, can’t you see there’s a line of people waiting behind?"

Feng Yuan, who was looking around with an umbrella, paused, glanced at the staff member, and said,

"Are you talking to me?"

"Who else if not you! Hurry up, don’t hold everyone up."

"He’s probably not a contestant. He might just be accompanying friends to participate."

At this moment, a bespectacled girl spoke up, pointing at Feng Yuan, who was standing quite far away from the line and said,

"Contestants wouldn’t stand so far outside the line, nor would they be holding an umbrella and wearing casual clothes."

"You’re right."

Feng Yuan shrugged with a helpless look and agreed. In fact, most contestants were wearing hoods like Qi Chen and the others, wearing outdoor combat apparel or directly draped in cloaks with hoods. Indeed, no one would use an umbrella, and as for raincoats? Unless you’re not entering combat, what use is that? It couldn’t even withstand a Spark.

"Wei Lina?"

Dou Yanlan squinted and spoke softly, and after a glance at her, Wei Lina smiled slightly and said,

"Didn’t expect to meet you here again. I won’t lose this time~"

"That’s not certain."

Dou Yanlan replied calmly. Just then, a woman who was talking walked up to them. As she tried to cut in line, the staff member was about to say something when she flashed her ID and said,

"Will this do?"

After a quick scan of the ID, the staff handed it back to her and said,

"Please enter through that side."

"That person... seems familiar?"

Feng Yuan scratched his head, trying to recall, and said,

"Seems like a livestreamer?"

"Yo~ So there really is someone who recognizes me~ Come on, let’s see who it actually is~"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the woman turned around with a smile and looked at Feng Yuan. Agunas flicked his tail, puzzled, and said,

"She seems to be called Li Xiaowei, but what’s she doing here?"

"How do you know my name?! Wait, I think I remember something."

Looking at Agunas floating beside Feng Yuan, Li Xiaowei pretended to ponder and spoke up, while Feng Yuan also stepped aside to make way for the people behind him to come forward and register.

"I remember you’re not a high school senior, are you?"

"Hey! There’s no age limit for Lake’s Brave Ones, and it’s not a rule that only high school seniors can participate, right?"

Li Xiaowei said discontentedly and then paused before adding, "I remember you, you’re the one who had a Dreaming Dragon Baby, right? Wait, where’s the Dreaming Dragon Baby?"

Li Xiaowei looked around curiously. It was one thing for the Dreaming Dragon Baby not to evolve, but its size after evolution would make it hard to hide.

"Didn’t I say I’d send it back home?"

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly, lightly knocking on his head while Li Xiaowei stuck out her tongue and said, "Sorry, I forgot. Was it the same Eggshell Chicken from before?"

Noticing the black eagle closely following Feng Yuan, Li Xiaowei said in amazement, "It looks pretty handsome... but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of Spirit Beast. Is it from another region?"

Feng Yuan smiled and didn’t explain but instead asked curiously, "Are you also here to participate in the Lake’s Brave Ones event?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"Don’t worry, I’m not here to snatch the championship, it’s just that the content of the live streaming outdoors has been a bit repetitive recently."

Li Xiaowei smiled as she explained; she naturally noticed the two people next to her wearing Ritual Robes, obviously friends of Feng Yuan, and she understood from their outfits.

"But aren’t you participating?"

Li Xiaowei asked with some confusion, remembering that Feng Yuan should also be a senior high school student. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said, "Not interested, and it doesn’t mean much to me."

"That makes sense, there’d be no suspense about the championship if you participated."

Li Xiaowei glanced meaningfully at Agunas, fully aware of Feng Yuan’s relationship with Agunas; she made this remark because the Lake’s Brave Ones event didn’t have such strict restrictions on assistants as the Beast Tamer competition did. Agunas, even in the Beast Tamer contest, was able to take action, not to mention in this kind of event.

"Not interested, plus, I don’t have any water-taming Spirit Beasts."

Feng Yuan said carelessly, although he could turn into the form of a Little Husky and crawl on Xiao Ji’s back to be flown by Xiao Ji, it was raining at the moment. Even if it wasn’t heavy, he didn’t want to turn into a Little Husky and get wet in the rain.

"Can’t you rent a boat? I remember everyone used to do that, didn’t you make a reservation in advance?"

"Don’t even mention it, have you not seen the news online about everyone blasting Dao Lake City’s defence team? That boat reservation platform is at the core of the problem."

Feng Yuan said helplessly, although the other party offered apologies and compensations, it was nearly impossible for them to get a reservation for a boat now. Feng Yuan was considering whether to ask Kui Shui Xuanwu for help, but their relationship wasn’t particularly good, so maybe he should check if Delong Tower was free?

Li Xiaowei didn’t know Feng Yuan was thinking about such frightening things; hearing his words, she said in surprise, "You’re victims too? They dare to mess with you?"

"It wasn’t me who made the reservation; otherwise, I believe they really wouldn’t dare."

Feng Yuan said with resignation. Since he wasn’t participating in the event, he naturally wouldn’t book any boats. If it was his ID used for the reservation, the platform would probably arrange for another boat just as good as the reserved one even if the boat owners breached the contract.

"So what are you planning to do?"

From Feng Yuan’s words, Li Xiaowei surmised that Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen probably didn’t have water-taming Spirit Beasts either, otherwise, they wouldn’t need to rent a boat.

"No worries, Delong Tower just happens to be free, it won’t mind helping us out for a few days."

At that moment, Feng Yuan spoke up, and Agunas rolled its eyes, no longer wanting to comment on Feng Yuan, while Qi Chen, wordlessly, glanced at Feng Yuan and said, "When did you contact them? And could you not be like this?"

"Just now, I’m trying to help you guys, you know!"

Feng Yuan spoke with a touch of grievance, while Dou Yanlan patted Qi Chen and turned to Feng Yuan, saying, "There’s no need, Cotton’s Nether Cross should be able to bring us to the other islands, albeit with some effort. It’s not too good to always trouble them."

"How about this, if you don’t mind, why don’t we act together?"

Li Xiaowei suggested. Even though Lake’s Brave Ones only had one champion, many people were just looking to gain real combat experience and didn’t care much about coming first. Many of them chose to join the event together because not everyone had water-taming Spirit Beasts. Waiting for official ferries would take too long.

After all, the official ferries responsible for transporting between the islands often needed more than thirty minutes per trip, and the ones going farther had even fewer trips a day. Waiting for the ferries would consume too much time, leaving no chance to challenge all the islands. Considering the event lasted only five days, taking out the time spent waiting for ferries, completing the tour of the dozens of islands on Lake Bai Dao would already be tight, let alone with extra waiting.
