Chapter 1427: Chapter 1428: Similar

“Can it be trusted?”

Although it was a question, Veronia didn’t expect Agunas to give her the correct answer. Looking at Morenas, who was tending to the Meteorite Spirit Beast, Agunas flicked its tail and said,

“I don’t know. If you only consider its actions, perhaps it’s trustworthy, but…”

“With memories and a past unknown to us, it’s a dangerous creature. However, since It has already acknowledged it, there’s no need to worry too much.”

“Ernis, is there anything unusual nearby?”

Agunas turned around and asked Ernis, who had unknowingly approached. Its Divine Pact Maker silently lay atop Ernis, observing everything, while Ernis turned to look into the distance and said,

“Nothing within the Barrier, but they can still stir up strange things.”

“Acting right in front of so many Divine Beasts? Are they Hunters?”

Agunas could naturally sense the ones outside the Barrier attempting to breach it, but something felt off to her. Were those people really so bold? Or foolish?

“It doesn’t seem like it. It’s strange, what are they really trying to achieve?”

Veronia looked confusedly at Belusir, who was eyeing the Meteorite Spirit Beasts, and said,

“A feint to the east and strike to the west. Some of them have infiltrated that group of soldiers, or perhaps it’s an internal issue with Drochkar.”

“Then can you find those people?”

Veronia glanced at Agunas and asked Belusir, who thought for a moment and shook his head, saying,

“No need. Morenas can handle it, and besides, it’s a good opportunity.”

Looking at the Meteorite Spirit Beasts gathered around Morenas, Belusir said. Observing Belusir, Veronia paused for a moment and said,

“Is that so? If that’s the case… should we step back first?”

She did not doubt Belusir’s abilities, especially since there was a Little Crocodile watching over. As the silver-white light in her eyes gradually dissipated, Agunas flicked her tail and said,

“Let’s go see those trying to attack the Barrier.”

“Looks like there’s no problem~”

Veronia smiled slightly at Belusir and said. Seeing Agunas affirm her words, Belusir breathed a sigh of relief; she really worried it might have been her mistake, which would have been troublesome.

As Veronia and the others left, soldiers stationed nearby gradually approached, appearing to take over security duties. However, a few soldiers secretly approached the Meteorite Spirit Beasts. Just as Morenas soothed the Meteorite Spirit Beast babies, those soldiers suddenly acted, a peculiar device silently capturing the Meteorite Spirit Beasts into a special space.

As the soldier breathed a sigh of relief, seeing no abnormality spotted by the Spirit Beast babies nearby, a unique doll-like Spirit Beast gazed fixedly at him. Before he could react, Morenas raised a small hand, and a Meteor Shower descended, continuously striking the ground.

The sudden occurrence scared the soldiers. Behind Morenas, meteors floated in the air, blood-red light emerged from them. Pointing at the soldiers stealthily capturing the Meteorite Spirit Beasts, Morenas recited incantations, red beams slicing through the space, and although the soldier retreated and dodged, he couldn’t escape Morenas’s attack.

The device in his hand was cut to pieces by the beams, the Spirit Beast babies that escaped the special space cried anxiously, hiding behind Morenas, while she coldly eyed those soldiers without saying a word, surrounded by rotating meteors emitting red light, continually exuding astonishing power.

“Is it really alright over there?”

Veronia sensed Morenas’s terrifying power and couldn’t help but ask, while Belusir nodded and said,

“At least, within fate, there isn’t a problem.”

“Fate, you’re still hung up on that thing; it’s essentially meaningless to you.”

Ernis glanced at Belusir and said. She smiled without rebutting. Perhaps Ernis was right, but Belusir didn’t plan to completely change herself. Having followed Feng Yuan and others for so long, she clearly understood that her abilities weren’t unusable; just that she shouldn’t rely or overuse them constantly.

The rampant energy made Ernis not dare to stay long; perhaps one mistake and an intense conflict might erupt between Morenas and Drochkar. After swiftly dealing with the enemy, they returned to the Meteorite Spirit Beast gathering place, seeing soldiers lying faint on the ground, Agunas looked at Morenas and said,

“You… showed some restraint.”

“Protect them; there’s no need or point in forming lifelong enmity even if they’re at fault.”

Morenas calmly said, as if everything had nothing to do with her. The Meteorite Spirit Beasts surrounded Morenas, chirping happily and seemingly very excited, while Veronia quietly observed Morenas and said,

“You resemble him greatly… you two…”

“The one with the Divine Beasts? Perhaps. Just… he… might be worse off than me; he just hides it well.”

Glancing at the soldiers lying on the ground, Morenas said unemotionally. After a moment of silence, Veronia looked at her and said,

“Do you want to travel with us?”

“No, they need me to care for them.”

Looking at the Spirit Beast babies beside her, Morenas said. Before their tribe had enough self-defense capability, she was certainly going to guard them. This might be the purpose of her current existence.

“Living for them?”

Gazing at Morenas, Veronia looked at Agunas, refraining from speaking further. Agunas flicked her tail and said,

“This, I’m powerless.”

Despite a small group from Drochkar attempting to cause trouble, under the Divine Beasts’ control, the experiment didn’t result in major chaos, and after Morenas took over the protection of the Meteorite Spirit Beasts, safety concerns were eased.

Regarding Morenas, Agunas and the others desired to do something, but they had no idea what to do, leading Agunas to feel strange upon returning to Feng Yuan’s side, feeling something was off.

“Why do I think you’re acting a bit weird?”

Looking at Agunas intently staring at him, Feng Yuan scratched his head and asked puzzledly. At this moment, he was tossing flower petals boredly by the lake, because Qi Chen and the others said they’d handle dinner, leaving him unsure of what to do, as for White Shadow Wolf? That creature wandered off long ago.

Whether it was from concern that Feng Yuan might use it as a big pillow, White Shadow Wolf departed decisively, disappearing as soon as events concluded. And upon Agunas and the others’ return, Feng Yuan felt something was odd as if they were quite concerned about him?

“That’s just your imagination.”

Staring at Feng Yuan, Agunas flicked her tail and said. Suddenly hugging Xiao Ji and holding it in her arms, Feng Yuan scrutinized Agunas and said,

“What’s gotten into you guys? Since coming back, something feels odd, why are you constantly looking at me?”

“I was just… thinking… you… and Morenas seem alike…”

Haltingly, Agunas didn’t reveal the truth. Feng Yuan didn’t know the situation well since he had little contact with Morenas. After some time, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

“You guys really have encountered another problem? Well, I’m free now, come on, happy story time.”

Releasing Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan sat on the grass and patted the grass beside him, saying with a smile. Xiao Ji glared discontentedly at Feng Yuan, growling a few times, while Agunas flicked her tail and said,

“There’s no story, nor any real problem.”

“Then why are you acting this way? Is it related to me? But I’m not doing anything now, am I?”

Feng Yuan scratched his head and said confusedly, indeed unaware of the situation. Just then, Dou Yanlan came over and said,

“Come over and see what sauce flavor you want, we’re not sure about your taste.”

“Sauce? Let me see.”

Glancing at Agunas, seeing her offer no explanation, Feng Yuan got up and led Xiao Ji, following Dou Yanlan. He was quite interested in dinner after all.
