CHAPTER 1467: CHAPTER 1468: A STRANGE DISCOVERY

"Doesn’t matter, anyway, it’s easy to restore the environment here, let’s go."

Signaling Xiao Ji to follow, Feng Yuan led the charge into the secret door, while Long Boduo, who was running at the back, specifically noted the secret door behind them. He found that once they entered, the door closed on its own. Unable to understand the intentions of the organizers, Long Boduo couldn’t be bothered to think more about it and continued on with Feng Yuan.

Although Feng Yuan and the others started together, due to various unexpected events along the way, they were completely scattered after entering the sewer. Only Long Boduo was still following behind Feng Yuan. For Feng Yuan, this wasn’t surprising; while Veronia and Belusir could also keep up with him, they clearly preferred to act alone.

"What do you think would happen if we visited an interesting ancient ruin?"

While running, Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and thought out loud, Long Boduo pondered and seriously replied,

"Knowing you, you’d either complain that the ruin’s traps aren’t rich or thrilling enough, or you’d violently dismantle it halfway through, right?"

"But why did you suddenly think about this?"

Looking ahead at Feng Yuan running, Long Boduo asked in confusion. Wasn’t this guy not particularly fond of wandering around ancient ruins? Moreover, there weren’t many ancient ruins left in the Omeilia Region, and after the disaster in the Divine Land Region, there shouldn’t be many ruins that would interest Feng Yuan either.

After all, those ruins either rely on their own energy or the overflow from the Earth Energy Circulation. Those that rely on their own energy are basically associated with possessing extremely powerful Divine Artifacts.

"Look, we’ve run through these sewers so many times, wouldn’t an exploration of a ruin be quite interesting? Especially those with constantly triggering thrilling traps~"

Long Boduo, not having spent as much time with Qi Chen and Feng Yuan, would likely argue back, knowing Feng Yuan’s temperament. He’d probably want to violently dismantle such a thrilling ruin before reaching halfway, as for Agunas, it’s even clearer: no ruin could truly stump Feng Yuan, constantly thrilling? Impossible.

"This part of the sewer doesn’t seem long, but what’s the point of it?"

Seeing the stairs ahead leading up, Feng Yuan was somewhat puzzled. However, he didn’t know that Qi Chen and the others falling behind wasn’t just about taking a wrong turn. The sewer’s environment itself posed challenges for many Beastmasters with weaker abilities—the obstructed view, the slick and sometimes filthy ground were critical reasons Qi Chen and the others gradually fell behind Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan, on the other hand, although in the Data Domain, used his power to maintain a state isolated from the environment. Since he was only running with no imminent danger, there was no need to save energy for potential threats.

"I don’t get it, but is climbing walls something here too?"

Seeing the broken stairs which obviously required climbing, Long Boduo frowned slightly, while Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji beside him and said,

"I’m not climbing; the feel is too uncomfortable."

With that, Feng Yuan unfolded jet-black wings on his back and flew up, leaving the other honest climbers stunned. This guy looks so young yet is so powerful? They didn’t want to climb, but they couldn’t release and extend their Beast powers as Feng Yuan could.

Long Boduo wasn’t bothered. Seeing Feng Yuan fly up, it stepped on black flames and chased after him. The restrictions in the Data Domain couldn’t fully bind the power of Divine Beasts, let alone the setup by the organizers, which didn’t enforce Data Domain rules but recreated formation suppression.

The formation couldn’t suppress the power of Divine Beasts, so it naturally couldn’t affect Long Boduo.

"This seems like a garden area? The Filian District?"

"Speaking of which, Filian is known as the God of Blossoms, that’s interesting. Aren’t they worried about Kannen?"

Entering the garden, Feng Yuan set Xiao Ji down to run on its own and said, Long Boduo thought for a moment and seemingly couldn’t figure it out, saying,

"Kannen doesn’t seem like a narrow-minded Divine Beast, and I remember the Spirit Beasts of Blossoms originally had Monalia, which isn’t exactly targeting Kannen."

Glancing at Long Boduo, Feng Yuan sighed. Unlike Agunas, Long Boduo wasn’t well-versed in these matters and couldn’t grasp deeper implications.

On the outskirts, Agunas flicked its tail while glancing at the book in its hands, occasionally looking up at the track. It was surrounded by a barrier marked with Divine Beast runes, not for protection, but to prevent others from disturbing it. After all, a lone Spirit Beast floating there was quite eye-catching.

Fortunately, this was a Data City where phones were unusable; otherwise, those people would have been more troublesome if they recognized Agunas’s true identity using Beast recognition apps.

A Divine Beast without a Divine Pact Maker appearing before humans? Those interested in the Pact Maker’s identity would definitely want to try their luck.

Of course, those genuinely pursuing Divine Beasts could recognize Agunas but also understood that becoming its Divine Pact Maker was impossible. In resources, it was always seen alongside Feng Yuan. They didn’t consider themselves more charming than someone favored by a Divine Beast.

Casting a curious glance at the enormous track, Agunas murmured,

"Strange, why does a completely different special area appear?"

"This place feels odd; haven’t they noticed something amiss?"

Feng Yuan suddenly stopped and suspiciously scrutinized the surrounding buildings. Here was part of the Old Tiraya City; Long Boduo scanned around, unsure, and said,

"What’s wrong? I think this is quite normal. There are many such landscapes in Tiraya City, aren’t there?"

It already heard the noise of the bustling crowd ahead, indicating the endpoint was near. This was normal, as the starting point was in Old Tiraya City style, so returning to this area at the endpoint wasn’t surprising. But instead of continuing, Feng Yuan signaled Xiao Ji to stop and walked aside, scrutinizing those ancient buildings.

"Didn’t you notice anything unusual?"

Scratching its head, Long Boduo looked puzzled, while Feng Yuan thought and said,

"Look ahead and see if Agunas can come over."

"Is there a problem here?"

Surprised, Long Boduo glanced at Feng Yuan without asking for more details. It knew such matters were beyond its understanding. As for whether Agunas could come from the endpoint? It wasn’t difficult, just a matter of revealing its Divine Beast identity.

After a while, the main group arrived, and Feng Yuan ignored those running past and Spirit Beasts, incessantly examining his surroundings. At this point, Qi Chen tapped his shoulder and asked curiously,

"What are you doing here?"

"Is there a problem with this place?"

Dou Yanlan observed where Feng Yuan was examining and found the patterns on it looked slightly off. Thinking for a moment, she glanced around and said,

"This place seems a bit odd."

"Yeah, if they haven’t treated it specially, there must be a problem here. The source data for Data City comes from all the city’s information, so... this place might actually exist?"

"What’s happening?"

Yang Hongzhi gestured for Xiao Hei to stop, puzzled as he faced the halted Feng Yuan. Seeing Yang Hongzhi’s gesture, Xiao Hei immediately lay on the ground, panting with its tongue out, while Najia looked around and said,

"The environment here seems a bit odd, I’ll go ask if they adjusted the data."

If it was altered, then it wouldn’t have much research value, but if it wasn’t, then... Najia wasn’t sure what that strange feeling was, but it knew if it were true, the real area corresponding to this zone had issues.

"It should be real. The way these letters are written is wrong; if it were just mirroring, such a situation wouldn’t occur."

Pointing to the exquisite letters on a window frame, Feng Yuan said. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Dou Yanlan immediately realized what was wrong. Everything here looked like it was seen through a mirror!

"Mirror City?!"

Yang Hongzhi exclaimed in surprise, as if realizing something. Feng Yuan shook his head, thought for a while, and said,

"It shouldn’t be. They probably extracted city data directly, no reason to extract data belonging to a special space."

Although he hadn’t controlled a Data City before, he was aware of how the data was categorized. Unless intentional, the two types of data wouldn’t be mixed up.
