Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2187 - 2188: Setting Out

The temperature, which before the holiday only required a thin coat, seemed to dive suddenly on the day of the break, as if to justify the cold in winter vacation. The piercing cold forced Feng Yuan to wear winter clothing.

Qi Chen and his friends, however, were used to this. Although Maomu City is located in the southern part of the region, such sudden drops in temperature have occurred before. At least, compared to the past, Qi Chen could be glad that it’s now vacation and he doesn’t have to write furiously in a drafty classroom during freezing weather.

Xiao Ji looked bitterly at the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound. In such cold weather, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, which can continuously emit a large amount of heat like a furnace, is evidently more favored by Feng Yuan.

Unfortunately, though the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound found this weather very unpleasant and could release a lot of heat, doing so would require it to consume more energy, which makes it feel hungrier in such weather.

If it wasn’t because they had to go out, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound would rather hide in a warm room.

"Brr—it’s so cold, hope Qi Chen and the others haven’t waited long."

Breathing out a cloud of frosty mist, Feng Yuan shrank his neck and quickly headed to the agreed location after glancing at the deserted campus. Although the Xu Family Town showdown hasn’t started yet, the plummet in temperature made Feng Yuan impatient to head to the Tea Wood Town area for winter.

Although the Tea Wood Town area is in the northern part of Maomu City and boasts many mountains, theoretically the temperature there should be much lower than in the city area of Maomu City.

However, due to the presence of Yognot, the entire Tea Wood Town area is rich in geothermal resources, and it even presents peculiar phenomena where lush green trees grow at the foot of the mountain while the mountain top is covered with snow.

Especially with this sudden cold wave, the Tea Wood Town area appears all the more unique.

Many people have also hastened to Tea Wood Town just to appreciate this rare scenery.

Feng Yuan also has such an idea, but more so, he is thinking that the environmental temperature there is much higher than in the city area of Maomu City, and since it’s a tourist area, spending a few days playing there while waiting for the Xu Family Town showdown to begin is much better than staying home and confronting the harsh cold.

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan don’t have this idea, but they indeed have the desire to go out. So, after Feng Yuan mentioned it to them, the two agreed to go to Tea Wood Town for a holiday, coinciding the trip with waiting for the Xu Family Town showdown.

On the way to Tea Wood Town, Feng Yuan was surprised to find that many people shared the same idea as him. Despite the cold weather, there were noticeably more people heading towards Tea Wood Town than usual, and their attire clearly marked them as tourists.

Upon reaching the town, Feng Yuan looked at his phone and said,

"I’ve already booked rooms at the hot spring inn in Red Tribe. Should we head there now or explore along the tourist route?"

"Yanlan, what do you think?"

Qi Chen rubbed the back of his head and looked at Dou Yanlan. He wasn’t used to planning travel routes; as for the rooms Feng Yuan booked? He didn’t mind.

It wasn’t Feng Yuan who was paying for Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan’s expenses. It’s just more convenient for Feng Yuan to purchase things as a group, so he handled it.

Compared to before enrollment, after accumulating for a semester, both Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan are quite well off. After all, compared to their classmates, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan don’t have large expenses in beast cultivation, and their capabilities allow them to take on more tasks than other classmates, naturally enabling them to save quite a bit of money.

Dou Yanlan thought for a moment, took out her phone, and checked the time, saying,

"It’s still early, why not take our time and wander over?"

Since the Tea Wood Town area has already reorganized the tourist routes, following the direction towards Red Tribe, if one tours and visits from the morning, they would naturally arrive at Red Tribe by dusk.

As for lunch?

The villages along the way provide lodging and meals, not to mention those characteristic snacks.

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It’s a pity Long Boduo isn’t here, otherwise, it might be even more lively."

"Are they... very busy?"

Qi Chen was taken aback, remembering something, he looked at Feng Yuan somewhat curiously. Mainly because Long Boduo was, in his impression, the kind of Divine Beast that wandered around enjoying the sights, making it odd that Feng Yuan hadn’t invited them this trip.

Before Feng Yuan could answer, Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"There have been many occurrences in the Netherworld recently, they don’t have time to come out for a stroll."

Saying this, Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, the matters in the Netherworld were much related to Feng Yuan, or rather to that group of people, but for now, they could only let the Netherworld Divine Beasts handle it, as for that group of people...

Besides Feng Yuan, it’s likely impossible to find them. After all, they obtained power from Feng Yuan, and after such a long time, no one knows where they might be hiding.

With a bright smile, Feng Yuan quickly changed the subject; he’s still not mentally prepared to face that group of people. After all... he doesn’t even know what that group encountered, or if, because of his help, bad things have happened to them, these, he’s unsure.

Seeing Feng Yuan still displaying an avoidance attitude, Agunas silently sighed but said nothing. Mainly because this matter wasn’t his fault.

Rubbing the back of his head, Qi Chen wisely chose not to continue this topic.

Tea Wood Town’s optimization of tourism resources has made it much more convenient for visitors. At least, the five major tourist routes have dedicated tourist lines to quickly transport visitors to those attractions.

Of course, besides these relatively slow buses, Tea Wood Town also provides rental services for rideable Spirit Beasts, though Feng Yuan was unaware of where they sourced so many rideable Spirit Beasts from.

But this business did clarify one fact for Feng Yuan: that the entire Tea Wood Town’s five tourist routes are covered by Beast Paths.

"Why don’t we ride Spirit Beasts over?"

Looking at the Spirit Beast rental service center, Feng Yuan’s eyes sparkled as he suggested. Qi Chen hesitated for a moment and said,

"Renting Spirit Beasts should be costly, right?"

Though financially comfortable, Qi Chen still felt it might not be worth it. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"No, not renting, I’ll just call them over, we can ride along the Beast Path, it’s much freer."

After all, the buses don’t leave as soon as you arrive; there’s waiting time at each station. To Feng Yuan, riding Spirit Beasts seems more convenient.

Qi Chen froze for a moment, recalling something, he uncertainly said,

"Isn’t that too much trouble for them?"

"Not at all~"

With a chuckle, Feng Yuan didn’t say much more, and shortly after, several White Shadow Wolves appeared before them. The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound looked curiously at these White Shadow Wolves, drawing closer.

Not that its curiosity is particularly strong, just that this group of White Shadow Wolves seemed peculiar in the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s eyes.

Usually, Spirit Beasts of the same species have fairly consistent attribute scopes. For the White Shadow Wolves to exhibit such varied attribute orientations is something it hasn’t seen before.

Of course, such phenomena aren’t unheard of, just rare.

The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound circled the group of White Shadow Wolves once, then lost interest. Although these White Shadow Wolves carried multiple attribute energies, they were still slightly different from multi-attribute Spirit Beasts.

Feng Yuan wasn’t concerned with these matters; seeing the White Shadow Wolves had arrived, he directly invited everyone to prepare for departure.

Dou Yanlan hesitated slightly, choosing to ride the Star White Lion instead of the White Shadow Wolf, while Feng Yuan could also ride the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, but considering its current size, Feng Yuan passed on that idea.

Qi Chen put away Ah Mu; seeing Dou Yanlan hadn’t retracted Cotton, he asked curiously,

"Yanlan, planning to let Cotton run behind?"

Although the Star White Lion was much larger than the White Shadow Wolf, carrying one person is already its limit, and Cotton’s size was substantial as well, making it impossible for Dou Yanlan and Cotton to both ride the Star White Lion.

Dou Yanlan nodded, saying,

"It should manage."

Originally, Feng Yuan planned to transform Xiao Ji into its Eggshell Chicken form and hold it while jointly riding the White Shadow Wolf, but surprisingly, Xiao Ji rejected this proposal, flapping its wings to indicate it would fly alongside.

Seeing this, Feng Yuan didn’t force Xiao Ji to follow his plan, but this left two of the White Shadow Wolves unused. In the beginning, Feng Yuan had overlooked Dou Yanlan having a Star White Lion and calculated for three people, calling an extra one for contingency, resulting in a total of four White Shadow Wolves arriving.

Now, with only him and Qi Chen riding the White Shadow Wolves, two remained unused.

After considering, Feng Yuan decided not to send them away. Since he’d called them here, it seemed joining the journey would be nice too.
