Chapter 869: Chapter 870: Shuichao Cave

"Haha, I was talking about actual combat. In terms of strength, I’m just so-so, although I might be quite at the front in our city, but—"

Yang Hongzhi said with an uneasy look, leading Feng Yuan to curiously glance at him and ask,

"What? Did you spar with people from other cities?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Hongzhi nodded reluctantly and said,

"Yes. Previously, during the Beast Tamer competition training with my teacher, those from Shenhua Shangjing—they’re formidable even without Divine Beasts. If it weren’t for Najia, I’d have given up long ago."

"That’s quite normal, right? Those with strength all aspire to attend good academies. How many are there like me—"

Feng Yuan said, somewhat proudly. Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan with amusement and said,

"Do you even need to? Although Agunas hasn’t signed a Divine Beast contract with you, given your current situation, is there really anyone in the Beast Tamer competition who could beat you?"

This training session made Yang Hongzhi truly understand the terrifying strength of Divine Beasts. Even though Najia specialized in support, it could singlehandedly face the beasts of competitors from Shenhua Shangjing. This was a completely overwhelming level of power, no wonder no one paid attention to the participants’ strength whenever Divine Beasts appeared in regional Beast Tamer competitions.

"I’m not planning to join the Beast Tamer competition."

Feng Yuan scoffed disdainfully, what good did participating do for him? The rewards didn’t even include what he wanted. Plus, if he really competed, even without bringing Divine Beasts, Xiao Ji alone could initiate Crimson Judgement. Unless the opposing Divine Beasts used their full power, winning wouldn’t be easy.

"What on earth are these guys doing in Jingyue Park causing trouble?"

Yang Hongzhi said, not quite understanding. Although Jingyue Park was located in the downtown area, it wasn’t large—destroying it seemed pointless. Feng Yuan chuckled and looked towards the device resembling a launch tower nearby and said,

"They’re after Yu Xian’er. What do you think?"

"Yu Xian’er! Wait! Are you saying Yu Xian’er stays here?"

"What else? Why do you think they’d come here to cause trouble? Really, such bad luck."

Feng Yuan said with some resignation; he was simply accompanying someone to visit the special sites of Maomu City, and unexpectedly encountered this situation.

"I didn’t expect you to be here."

Captain Yan looked at Feng Yuan somewhat surprised, by then Qi Chen and the others had already subdued the Hunters. Captain Yan sent a few Special Duty Team members to search the Hunters and then ordered them to escort these people back for interrogation.

"It seems we’ve won—"

Gladys looked at the still operational launch tower and said with a smile. Feng Yuan stepped forward, manipulated the device, and the lights on the launch tower gradually dimmed. He looked at Gladys with disdain and said,

"But your team couldn’t preserve any clues. Not to mention, that explosion just now must have destroyed all the equipment on the mountaintop, probably even obliterated part of it."

"Well, accidents are everywhere, aren’t they?"

Gladys laughed, trying to justify it, but Captain Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her dissatisfied,

"Couldn’t you have waited for us to act together?"

"Sorry, I didn’t think you’d have any better ideas."

Lanadi flashed his credentials and calmly spoke, Captain Yan eyed Lanadi and asked,

"Are you that Alliance investigator? What exactly are you here for?"

"My entry application clearly states that. If you don’t know, it means you don’t have enough clearance, and I’m not obligated to tell you."

Lanadi calmly stated, seemingly disregarding Captain Yan. Meanwhile, Feng Yuan used his tools to disassemble the special gun, extracting the tightly sealed modules inside and handing them to Agunas, asking,

"So? Can you spot any difference?"

Wagging his tail, Agunas said with some headache,

"They all seem the same to me, I really can’t tell the difference."

"Then there’s nothing we can do, but these pieces still have research value, they can certainly improve human weaponry a notch. However, this thing is a double-edged sword."

Feng Yuan said as he casually handed the neatly disassembled modules to Captain Yan, squinting and watching as Captain Yan said in a low voice,

"Did the Hunters make these themselves?"

Although Captain Yan wasn’t very familiar with mechanical components, he was somewhat familiar with firearms. These strange modules and parts of high processing precision didn’t seem like something that could be manufactured by factories in Great Xia.

"Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t, but behind us is definitely a technological world. As for what to do with this stuff, that’s your call."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly, while Lanadi smiled, pulling Feng Yuan aside,

"Why don’t we go check out Shuichao Cave? We could also see how Yu Xian’er is doing?"

"No problem with that, Little Crocodile～"

"Really..."

Agunas rolled his eyes and lightly brushed his paws over the book he was holding. Moments later, the small figure of Yu Xian’er appeared in the woods, and Captain Yan looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously,

"What are you trying to do?"

"Take friends to visit Yu Xian’er’s home. We agreed on this before, and Yu Xian’er has also agreed."

Seeing Feng Yuan looking towards her, Yu Xian’er nodded with a smile. Feng Yuan, with a mischievous grin, turned to Yang Hongzhi,

"How about it? Do you want to join?"

"Me? Forget it, my training isn’t finished, and I just took time off because something strange came up here."

Yang Hongzhi spoke somewhat helplessly. He wasn’t as free as Feng Yuan, who could run around without attending classes. Right now, he was busy training Xiao Hei and others and had no time for fun.

Feng Yuan glanced at Najia seated on Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder and said,

"Don’t you think Najia would also like to visit Yu Xian’er’s home? It’s a rare opportunity, miss it and it’s gone～"

At that moment, Najia waved at Yu Xian’er, seemingly saying something, and Yu Xian’er responded excitedly. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"They’re reminiscing, maybe people don’t need your help to get in."

"Ha ha, well..."

Feng Yuan turned around somewhat sheepishly, not expecting that Najia had already befriended Yu Xian’er. Yang Hongzhi chuckled as he looked at Feng Yuan,

"Then that’s settled, I’m off."

Najia, sitting on Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder, happily waved at Yu Xian’er, seemingly saying something. Glancing at Xiao Ji, who was preening its feathers, Feng Yuan grumbled as he tousled Xiao Ji’s head,

"So why haven’t you befriended Yu Xian’er?"

Xiao Ji looked puzzled at Feng Yuan, not understanding what he was suddenly ranting about. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan somewhat exasperatedly,

"Don’t go too far. Xiao Ji has always been with you. You never went to find Yu Xian’er. How could it possibly become friends with her?"

"What about Yang Hongzhi then..."

Seeing Feng Yuan with the petulant demeanor of a child, Captain Yan spoke with a headache,

"He often helps maintain order, and recently Yu Xian’er had to personally handle serious disruptions, so it’s normal they got to know each other. Don’t you also have a good relationship with those from Lorraine Tower?"

Speaking of which, Feng Yuan having a good relationship with Lorraine Tower folks was even more terrifying than Yang Hongzhi, as he only befriended Yu Xian’er by chance. For ordinary people, it’s not easy to casually meet Lorraine Tower folks, let alone befriend them.

"I had no idea they would target the Guardian Divine Beasts."

Captain Yan sighed after understanding the situation. The ranks of the Hunters seemed to have grown again. He really didn’t understand what those who joined such organizations were thinking.

"A double-edged sword, huh..."

Looking at the pile of special weapons, Captain Yan fell into thought. He clearly understood Feng Yuan’s point, but he also knew that the Hunters wouldn’t just strike at one place, so whether he handed these items over didn’t seem to make much difference?

"Is this Shuichao Cave? It looks quite special."

Admiring the blue crystals adorning various parts of the cave, Gladys exclaimed in awe. Although Shuichao Cave was a massive cavern, it was decorated beautifully.

The continual dripping of water was caught by flower-shaped stone bowls, the ripples endlessly dancing within the stone bowls, yet unable to escape their confines.
