Chapter 1421: Chapter 1422: Heading to Meteor Valley

While enjoying a delicious dinner at the restaurant, Feng Yuan initially planned to let Xiao Ji continue to guide them around Soretcher City. However, after inquiring with Qi Chen and learning that commerce was severely impacted, he abandoned that plan.

Xiao Ji didn’t oppose the decision either, fearing a repeat of the previous incident at the couple’s restaurant. Upon returning to the hotel, Feng Yuan and his party found that despite the explanations given, Soretcher City still appeared somewhat chaotic. Many hotel guests were hastily checking out and leaving. Looking at the panicked crowd, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

“So, they still haven’t been calmed down?”

“This isn’t something that can be resolved easily. But why are they in such a rush to leave?”

Agunas looked at the guests with curiosity. It was already evening, and it didn’t understand why they felt the need to leave overnight. The city wasn’t locked down for an extended period, just during the official trial day. Unless they had something urgently pressing, there was no need to change their plans so hastily.

“No idea, maybe they suspect Soretcher City is deceiving them? Anyway, we’ll head to Meteor Valley tomorrow. Whatever happens here doesn’t really concern us. But aren’t Veronia and the others coming back?”

Feng Yuan asked Agunas with confusion, and it nodded, saying,

“Yes, they said they need to check the living conditions of those Spirit Beasts. I might head over there tonight as well. If anything comes up, have Long Boduo contact me.”

The young Long Boduo glanced at Agunas in surprise and said,

“You’re going too?”

“It’s a whole new Spirit Beast clan, after all. According to them, not only Kom, but Lubo’s clan has emerged. Little Ice Cream, come with me later.”

Agunas said, taking a glance at Little Ice Cream, who was trying to secretly bully Pomiti only to be swatted away by Kong Qing’s tail. Little Ice Cream looked at Agunas with confusion, and Feng Yuan suddenly remembered that Little Ice Cream’s formal species name was Lubo. But had even Little Ice Cream’s clan appeared?

As for Agunas’s concerns, he could understand. Considering neither Lubo nor Kom’s clan currently had an evolved form, not even Agunas could cheat its way to create a Legendary Level evolution.

In this period, what might happen to these Meteorite Spirit Beast clans without a powerful Spirit Beast for protection remained uncertain, even for Feng Yuan. Given the circumstances, Agunas would certainly go to check on their living conditions. Although Veronia and Belusir were also there, Feng Yuan knew Agunas wouldn’t be completely at ease.

Little Ice Cream hid behind Big Cat, mewing a few times. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

“Your kin is there, aren’t you going to check on them?”

Mewing consecutively, Little Ice Cream hid directly behind Big Cat. Seeing this, Agunas didn’t insist. Even though it believed that living with its clan was a good choice for Little Ice Cream at this time, it wasn’t absolute.

Feng Yuan looked at Little Ice Cream and couldn’t help but say,

“I should remind you that all I can do is let you live with us. I can’t promise the same care that Xiao Ji receives. As you’ve seen, aside from Xiao Ji, it’s basically Kong Qing and Big Cat taking care of themselves and also helping with you. If you insist on following me, I can’t promise you the same treatment as Xiao Ji.”

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji rubbed its head against Feng Yuan, protesting with a cry. In its view, Feng Yuan’s words were somewhat harsh, though truthful. If not for being out on vacation, it suspected that its daily meals would also be prepared with the help of Big Cat and Kong Qing.

After a long silence, Little Ice Cream mewed at Agunas with determination. Clearly, it didn’t plan to meet its fellow clansmen. Agunas didn’t push further, understanding that Little Ice Cream’s decision on how to live—even if it meant following Feng Yuan like Big Cat—was its own choice, and Agunas wouldn’t interfere.

After some casual conversation, Agunas confirmed there was nothing Feng Yuan needed help with and left directly. Long Boduo looked puzzled in the direction Agunas departed and said,

“Speaking of which, I remember it should have multiple bodies. Why then…”

“Its main body is probably busy. Its number of bodies isn’t limitless. As far as we know, three is the limit. To prepare for any possible emergencies, having a single body left would ensure it has the strength to deal with potential threats.”

Feng Yuan said as he patted Xiao Ji’s head, to which Long Boduo said enviously,

“I wonder when I’ll have similar abilities to split myself like that. I could wander over here while on patrol.”

“Well, without strength, there is a way. The power of the tome could barely achieve it, but that body would have no abilities, and you’re not like Agunas, who can use a body as a spatial coordinate to forcibly traverse space.”

Feng Yuan said, tapping his chin. This wasn’t nonsense; Agunas achieved this through the power of the Golden Tome Page. As for Long Boduo, lacking Agunas’s strength, not to mention there was only one Golden Tome Page currently available, giving it to Long Boduo would be impossible.

“Such a body sounds quite useless, plus having to carry the tome is too dangerous.”

Long Boduo shook his head, showing no interest. Not to mention, if it carried the tome, it must ensure that it doesn’t lose it. This, Long Boduo couldn’t guarantee. To cause more time for fun in the real world and bring trouble upon oneself? That was a no-go for Long Boduo.

“Then there’s no way. At least, I can’t think of a good solution.”

Feng Yuan shrugged, leaving other possible solutions aside. As it stood, this was his stance.

The next day, Meteor Valley, Feng Yuan and his party arrived early. Though Soretcher City hadn’t completely returned to normalcy, the checkpoint at Meteor Valley seemed unaffected. The Beastmasters were chatting leisurely, and Feng Yuan observed them curiously and said,

“Why aren’t they… going in?”

“It seems they’re waiting for the gathering licenses. Unlike ours, there’s a limited issuance of single Spiritual Medicine and Materials gathering licenses here each day. Each person can only get one per month. They’re probably waiting for that.”

Yang Hongzhi observed the people and said. These people weren’t weak, most possibly stronger than him without Najia. Hearing this, Feng Yuan said with surprise,

“There’s actually such a thing. Then… should we snatch a few?”

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

“Don’t we already have unrestricted gathering licenses? Why bother taking those?”

“These things aren’t easy to grab. The Beastmasters here are all after these. Usually, there’s a small Beastmaster competition held every day to determine who gets them. It’s become a feature here.”

Yang Hongzhi shook his head and said, though he was interested, without Najia fighting, he was sure he wouldn’t make it to the top few spots. Moreover, it wasn’t necessary for them, already having no need for those licenses, to disrupt things that way.

“Beastmaster competition? Forget it; I thought it was all about luck.”

Feng Yuan said with a helpless expression, holding down Xiao Ji’s head, while Long Boduo asked confusedly,

“You’re not planning to participate?”

“Well, mainly… today I’m really tired, and I don’t feel like moving~”

Feng Yuan said with an odd tone, patting the back of Xiao Ji, who was dissatisfiedly watching, and continued,

“Actually, this kind of occasion doesn’t have much training value for Xiao Ji. To compete for the licenses, they’re bound to go all out. If Xiao Ji gets influenced and also goes all out…”

“That Ultimate Move—Crimson Judgement—is really troublesome.”

Sighing, Feng Yuan said helplessly. If Xiao Ji hadn’t mastered the Divine Beast Technique, he wouldn’t mind since he wasn’t afraid of others’ attacks, but with the current Xiao Ji…

One blast of Crimson Judgement could cause serious issues. He didn’t want to create big trouble for himself, especially when defenses were on high alert here. If they triggered that, it would surely be a headache for everyone involved.
