Chapter 890: Chapter 891: Abnormal Phenomenon

"Speaking of the war, which side will you be on?"

He Nanqing asked with a smile, immediately adding when Feng Yuan did not immediately respond,

"Of course, I’m just curious. If it’s not convenient for you, you don’t have to answer."

"There’s nothing inconvenient about it, after all, I’ve lived in Great Xia for so long; it’s natural that I’d stand with Great Xia."

Feng Yuan spoke casually, plucked a leaf, and twirled it in his fingers, he put the leaf to his lips and blew it into the air, watching it drift freely down and said,

"But whether I’ll join the war is another matter. After all, you know the situation with Agunas and others. Veronia is no weaker than Agunas, and if they join me in the fight, I’m afraid the entire Divine Land Region will be thrown into chaos this year."

He then lay down on a tree branch, hands pillowing his head, and said,

"I guess the Conscription Order won’t reach me because they know very well that stirring up the entire Divine Land Region is not a good idea, especially since Great Xia has a good chance of winning this time."

"Why?"

He Nanqing was puzzled; if there was not absolute confidence in victory, would other states dare to take action? Feng Yuan squinted, watching the specks of starlight that filtered through the dense leaves and said,

"Because of the Hunters. I believe they are already there waiting, ready to make their move when the Divine Land Region descends into turmoil, and Lorraine Tower and others are waiting for just that moment."

Turning his head to look at Xiao Ji playing with Nagna, Feng Yuan said,

"The war in Great Xia is just a trigger, a single misstep, and we might see a repeat of the old Guardian Wars."

"The invaders? Is the situation really that dire?"

He Nanqing was somewhat incredulous. The reason the Guardian Wars had involved the whole of humanity was that the Divine Beasts’ defenses had been breached, allowing numerous invaders into various regions, igniting wars across all regions and leading to the Guardian Wars of that time.

Currently, those Hunters were just more active in the Divine Land Region, and it had been confirmed that they were natives, not invaders. It seemed unlikely that the situation would be as bad as in the past.

"It’s hard to say, especially since Odinis’s side hasn’t been fully dealt with yet, and behind the Hunters lies another mechanical civilization. Who knows when the Starry Sky wars might restart."

"In short, it’s quite a hassle."

Feng Yuan sighed, swinging his right hand loosely by his side, exasperated. He was particularly unclear about what those guys would do next, but he suspected that wars between worlds would be inevitable.

"But we don’t need to worry about all this, right?"

He Nanqing smiled as she spoke, and Feng Yuan, closing his eyes, shook his hanging right hand softly and murmured,

"Yeah, that’s for them to worry about. Just, when the time comes and all the Divine Beasts are called away, are they really sure they can win against Great Xia?"

Great Xia’s military strength wasn’t solely reliant on the power of the Divine Beasts. Moreover, how many of these great powers didn’t have special weapons prepared in secret? Even if the smaller states banded together, they would probably not match Great Xia, only with the Divine Beasts on their side could they have a chance at victory.

"Not necessarily, what if they have some special ancient artifact? Like that Yellow Sand Ring mentioned in the reports, a special ancient artifact that probably no one but the Divine Beasts could contend with?"

He Nanqing said offhandedly, but her comment reminded Feng Yuan, who suddenly sat up and said,

"True, those ancient artifacts are dangerous. But... never mind, I’ll just remind them. After all, I’m sure they’ve got their own intelligence on the ancient ruins."

Feng Yuan said as he began typing a text message on his phone and sent it off. How the recipient would deal with it was none of his concern; he was merely conveying his thoughts.

The breeze gently stirred the leaves. Lying on the tree branch, Feng Yuan breathed in the rich life force of the Muzi Fruit Forest, gradually drifting into sleep. Seeing Feng Yuan fall asleep like that, He Nanqing smiled, somewhat helplessly, and took Little Yognot and Xiao Ji aside to perch. As for worrying about Feng Yuan accidentally falling? That really wasn’t a concern. For a Beast Tamer, such a height was insignificant.

"Wake up, we’re leaving."

"School’s out, aren’t you leaving?"

"Today for sure..."

"Hmm..."

Feng Yuan held his forehead, feeling groggy as if he had just had a dream? Just then, a soft and fluffy creature suddenly squeezed into his arms. Stunned for a moment, Feng Yuan gradually came to his senses and, with a slight chuckle, stroked Xiao Ji’s back and said,

"You, what are you doing?"

"Are you alright? Did you catch a cold?"

Under the tree, He Nanqing asked with some puzzlement. She had been calling Feng Yuan for a while but hadn’t seen him wake up. Holding Xiao Ji in her arms, she stroked the feathers on the back of Xiao Ji’s head. Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said,

"No, it’s just that the weather is so good, I slept too comfortably, that’s all~"

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan gently ran his hand over its feathers. Lanadi looked puzzledly at Feng Yuan up in the tree. She had indeed heard him calling her name softly just before, but seeing him look fine, she decided not to ask any further questions.

"What is this?"

Taking the yellow fruit that Lanadi tossed to him, Feng Yuan was a bit puzzled as to what she intended to do. Looking speechlessly at a wary Feng Yuan, Lanadi said impatiently,

"It’s for you, we thought it tasted pretty good so we brought some for you. What, do you suspect I’m poisoning you?"

"Heh, sorry about that."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan apologized to her, touched Xiao Ji’s head, and gently pushed Xiao Ji while saying,

"Alright, let me get down first."

Xiao Ji fluttered its wings and slowly descended from the tree. Feng Yuan flipped over and jumped directly off the branch. Surveying Lanadi and the others, Feng Yuan asked with some doubt,

"Haven’t Agunas and the others come back yet?"

"It seems they’ve found something amiss and have gone ahead to investigate. How about we go to dinner first and then worry about those things?"

Pointing to the red sunset in the sky, Lanadi suggested. Glancing at the tired Big Cat and the tiny lizard on its head, as well as Pomiti, Feng Yuan nodded and said,

"Let’s go. Oh, and can you prepare a room for Big Cat to rest, along with this little guy."

Feng Yuan said, lifting the sleeping Little Ice Cream on his shoulder up and looked down at it as it dozed with half-closed eyes. He Nanqing smiled and said,

"Of course, we can."

The evening banquet was still held in the great hall, and this time, everyone from the Fire Stronghold gathered together. Initially, they planned to get Feng Yuan drunk, but after learning that he was going to explore the Muzi Fruit Forest later that night and that the situation affected more than just the Fire Stronghold, they gave up trying to dissuade him.

Eventually, it was decided that He Nanqing would lead Feng Yuan and his group to the Muzi Fruit Forest to investigate the situation.

"Is it really that dangerous?"

Surrounded by a floating red flame, He Nanqing, who was leading the way, asked with some concern. If it wasn’t for Feng Yuan insisting that they couldn’t delay any longer, she would have preferred him to come investigate the area during the daytime. After all, mountain roads at night were not very safe.

Xiao Ji stayed close to Feng Yuan, eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings. The wind rustled the leaves, and strange animals shuffled through the forest, making eerie noises. Big Cat waddled its plump body closely behind the group, with the little lizard sprawled comfortably on its head.

Although Feng Yuan had told Big Cat to rest in the village, it seemed unwilling to stay behind to sleep. On Feng Yuan’s shoulder, Little Ice Cream looked around curiously, as if attracted by something special in the area.

"What’s this? It’s so beautiful."

He Nanqing marveled as she looked at the Muzi Fruit Forest, where countless points of light darted about. Feng Yuan’s brow furrowed as he observed the beautiful scene, but he felt little excitement. Lanadi turned to Gladys with a look of astonishment and asked,

"Have you noticed it?"

Nodding gravely, Gladys stared at the orchard illuminated by the light spots and said,

"That must be soul fragments from the Netherworld; they shouldn’t be appearing here. Moreover, the Rain of Life just fell here during the day. No matter what, those things should not be appearing so soon."

The Rain of Life strongly repelled the powers of the Death Series and the Ghost Series. Unless something unusual occurred, those things would not appear in a place that had just experienced the Rain of Life, because the Life Force in these areas was still very strong at the time.

"It looks like we’re in for some trouble."

Looking at the orchard amidst the light spots, Feng Yuan remarked with a sigh. He could naturally sense what lay beneath the glow, the profound darkness of what it truly was.
