Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 1587 - 1588: Conquering the Battlefield

As expected, the fake White Wolf Deity didn’t last long before being torn apart by the White Wolf Deity. However, until the White Wolf Deity returned, the Little Husky remained lying on the Big Cat’s head, its tail restlessly wagging. Qi Chen noticed that although the Little Husky was yawning constantly, it never went back to rest.

Watching the returned White Wolf Deity lie down seemingly for a nap, Qi Chen frowned slightly. Even though the White Wolf Deity appeared to be resting, its slightly twitching ears and eyes partially open indicated it was still monitoring the surroundings. Was there something wrong with that thing? Qi Chen immediately thought of this possibility. But why didn’t Feng Yuan mention it?

Thinking of this, Qi Chen inspected the Little Husky, whose tail, like a broom, kept sweeping back and forth. Clearly, he had been staring at Feng Yuan for quite some time, but Feng Yuan showed no reaction. This suggested he was deep in thought, yet Qi Chen had never seen him like this before.

"Is there something wrong with that thing? Could it have other uses besides restricting our exploration of areas outside the base?"

Noticing Feng Yuan’s odd behavior, Dou Yanlan asked in confusion. However, after thinking it over, she considered a possibility. At this moment, the Little Husky perked its ears and said,

"It’s a bit troublesome. The White Wolf Deity cannot move. Otherwise, if that thing launches an attack here without the Divine Beast to hold it off, it would be hard to handle. But from the looks of it, if Agunas and the others return without triggering that thing, it might be okay, just..."

"If that thing will launch an attack in subsequent battles, should we prepare in advance...."

Glancing at Dou Yanlan, the Little Husky wagged its tail and said,

"For now, it’s necessary, but you know, there is only one White Wolf Deity, and it can’t use its clones here. Besides, even if we use special means to reduce recovery time, using Coming of the Future on you now isn’t good, nor is it for the other teams..."

"Act together? I believe the mastermind won’t attack when we’re exploring the base. Besides, isn’t it normal to check the surrounding area during a rest period?"

Staring at Dou Yanlan for a long time, the Little Husky lowered its head and said,

"Alright, the White Wolf Deity will go with you. Dou Yanlan, I entrust the others to you; don’t... use the Commander’s strategy, you won’t be able to withstand it."

Shaking her head with a smile, Dou Yanlan held Qi Chen’s hand and said,

"I won’t do that. After meeting him, I realized I prefer the life of an ordinary Beastmaster. I... don’t want that waiting from before to happen to others..."

At Dou Yanlan’s home, Dou Zhengrong, who had been watching their movements, clenched his hands tightly. He was aware of the hardships they had suffered, but now he could only try to make up for it, though missed times could never be reclaimed.

"Just don’t do anything you’ll regret. Although he said there won’t be any life-threatening situations, sometimes other injuries can be more terrifying than death."

Wagging its tail, the Little Husky closed its eyes and said. At this moment, the White Wolf Deity stood up, shook itself off, and walked behind Dou Yanlan. Seeing this, Dou Yanlan reached out and gently patted the strong body of the White Wolf Deity, saying,

"I’m counting on you, White Wolf Deity."

...

The Little Husky, awakened by the sounds of battle, opened its eyes, yawned, and looked in the direction from which the sound came. Xiao Ji stood beside the Big Cat, occasionally glancing at the Little Husky resting on the Big Cat’s head. Although it wanted very much to join the battle in the distance, Feng Yuan obviously wasn’t going, and the others had joined Dou Yanlan’s team to clear out those crystal constructs, leaving Feng Yuan alone here.

Of course, strictly speaking, besides Feng Yuan, there was also that large group of soldiers. For some reason, the soldiers were only setting up a temporary base and resting here, showing no interest in exploring the nearby environment, which initially led Dou Yanlan and the others to overlook this issue.

It’s just that such behavior would only exist in a game. No matter how much Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom resembled a game, its essence was still a unique, real world. No one dared to gamble that there wouldn’t be more ambushes waiting for them to make a move.

The battle had broken out several times already. Even so, Feng Yuan saw that they had not explored much of the place. Noticing that the battle ended quickly, the Little Husky squinted its eyes again.

After a long time, the Little Husky that couldn’t be awakened by the battles felt something hard touching its nape. Its paws flailed twice, then it opened its eyes and looked at Xiao Ji, asking puzzled,

"What’s going on now?"

Xiao Ji, anxious, gestured towards Feng Yuan. Watching Xiao Ji’s motions and Kong Qing’s supplementation, the Little Husky perked its ears and frowned, saying,

"You mean it’s been a long time without hearing battle sounds? That is indeed a bit concerning, but the White Wolf Deity is by their side, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Just keep an eye out, and if something really happens, call me then."

With that, the Little Husky fell asleep again. Noticing Feng Yuan’s genuine exhaustion, Xiao Ji didn’t continue to bother him. Keeping a watch on the surroundings, Xiao Ji felt worried, not only for Dou Yanlan and the others’ safety but also for Feng Yuan’s situation. With his nature, shouldn’t he be anxiously checking the situation now?

Seeing him continuously sleeping like this worried Xiao Ji a lot, but it had no good solutions either. Kong Qing hissed softly to comfort it, although Kong Qing was also concerned about Feng Yuan. However, unlike Xiao Ji, it knew well that with Feng Yuan’s level of strength, significant problems wouldn’t arise easily. Perhaps it was just the intense battle previously that tired him out?

Even though there had been no sounds of battle afterwards, Xiao Ji didn’t wake Feng Yuan again. Only when the Little Husky woke up, shook its ears, and looked at Xiao Ji did it notice that the surroundings were still unchanged.

"Something’s not right!"

Thinking of something, the Little Husky jumped down from the Big Cat’s head, returned to its original form, and took out a phone. Feng Yuan glanced at the time on it, realizing he hadn’t miscalculated; it was already 3 AM. Although still somewhat sleepy, he immediately thought of checking with the Big Cat and others. Upon learning that Qi Chen and the others hadn’t returned and there were no sounds of battle, Feng Yuan chose to abandon the idea of searching for them.

With the White Wolf Deity by their side, incidents would be unlikely unless they were separated. But if that happened, the White Wolf Deity’s movements would surely be noticeable. Maybe they realized the time issue and found a random spot to sleep? Thinking this, Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s head, advising it to get some rest.

"This place, without a day-night cycle, is truly troublesome, isn’t it?"

With various Divine Beasts advancing slowly under the attacks of the defensive towers on the front battlefield, Veronia put away her phone and said, Agunas glanced at Veronia and asked,

"Are you tired?"

"Not yet, and this should be the last battlefield. But I didn’t expect there would still be a frontal attack battle."

Looking at the five giant towers not far away, Veronia chuckled lightly and said, although with the continual assistance from her, Agunas, and other Divine Beasts, everyone had completed tasks at other battlefields, tackling this most troublesome frontline battlefield still hadn’t been resolved.

There was no other way since, even with the largest teams allocated here, this had been the strongest defensive position among the Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom’s battlefields. They could only choose to handle other places first and then focus on here once other battlefield Divine Beasts were liberated.

With the experience they gathered, everyone started out by assigning tasks and allowing tired teams to retreat for a break. They had no idea if there would be a second battle after resolving this final battlefield, so they didn’t pull all resources together.

Apart from the battlefield where Feng Yuan and the White Wolf Deity were, having pulled in the officials’ entire team, other battlefields only had one or two teams dispatched, along with some Divine Beasts.

With everyone’s coordinated efforts, the frontline battlefield was soon breached, and at that moment, a panel appeared before everyone, displaying the remaining rest time. Seeing the lengthy day-long rest period, nobody showed any signs of relief. Only trouble could be expected from such a long rest period following it.

"It’s done. Return to base."

Spinning the parasol, Veronia put away her phone and said, by now it was after 4 AM. While Divine Beasts like them could fight tirelessly for several days, the humans couldn’t, not to mention there might still be more battles to fight later.

Nobody disagreed with this, and they each went back to the initial base together with their battlefield’s Divine Beasts.
