Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2192 - 2193: Special Spirit Beast

"It seems like that’s how it is: rooms exposed to sunlight are for people, while the darker rooms at the back are used for growing unique Fire Spirit Mushrooms. However, this specialty wasn’t available for takeaway before."

Qi Chen scratched his head as he flipped through the tourist guide. He hadn’t expected there to be a specialty here even rarer than high red tea eggs. Of course, the effects of this thing were still unknown, but it was certain that Fire Spirit Mushrooms were definitely better than ordinary food.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have kept them here. Maybe this thing is of great use to Fire-Attribute Spirit Beasts?

For Feng Yuan, whether it has any special effects is secondary; taste is most important. However, if it’s beneficial to Fire-Attribute Spirit Beasts, he wouldn’t be stingy, considering the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound is also a Fire-Attribute Spirit Beast.

"I wonder if that thing is available for sale externally now. Judging by the situation, the production might not be very high."

Feng Yuan stroked his chin and looked at the large gate ahead, saying the cobblestone path ends here. The entire Grotto-Rock Village is like a huge amphitheater. From the entrance, the height gradually increases and stops abruptly at the highest point, without extending further.

The cobblestone path was also blocked by a giant wooden gate. In front of the gate stood uniformed staff guarding it. At the very least, it wouldn’t be easy to sneak in.

But Feng Yuan had no intention of investigating further. Without needing to ask, he could guess what was behind there; it was nothing more than the entrance to the Magma Channel. After all, although the carvings on this door were somewhat blurred due to age, their contents were still barely decipherable.

The content carved on this door isn’t complicated, depicting the Magma Channel and various special fire-elemental Spiritual Medicine and Materials, as if afraid that others wouldn’t know what’s behind it.

But this is no surprise; after all, this is the territory of Cha Mu Town, backed by Yognot. They’re not really afraid that a small thing like this would catch people’s attention. If someone tries to force their way in relying on strength, the consequences for that person would be unpredictable.

"It looks big, but it’s actually not much."

Looking at this village, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but comment. Unlike Half-Mountain Stronghold, Grotto-Rock Village was much smaller in area, and they saw more tourists here.

Of course, this also has to do with Grotto-Rock Village’s environment. Due to its unique terrain, the villagers’ fields are quite far from the village. Coupled with its peculiar structure, they usually prefer visiting neighbors to chat rather than gathering in a specific place like in the Half-Mountain Stronghold.

"Speaking of which, there’s probably not much to see here."

Scanning the surroundings, Feng Yuan said somewhat puzzledly. Qi Chen took out the tourist guide, looked for a while, and said,

"No, this place seems to have special Spirit Beasts appearing. The main tourism promotion here is those Spirit Beasts."

"Special Spirit Beasts?"

Feng Yuan was taken aback; he didn’t expect this. But what exactly are special Spirit Beasts?

Thinking carefully, Feng Yuan really couldn’t figure out what would be considered special Spirit Beasts.

It was certain that the strength of those Spirit Beasts shouldn’t be very high. Otherwise, Cha Mu Town wouldn’t allow them to interact with tourists, of course, unless it was the desire of those beasts themselves. But Feng Yuan didn’t think that would be the case.

"Magma Baby, a special non-evolving Spirit Beast, quite weak in strength, and it’s unclear why such a Spirit Beast exists."

Qi Chen didn’t hide the truth like Feng Yuan and directly revealed the answer. Feng Yuan, slightly confused, didn’t quite understand what kind of strange Spirit Beast the Magma Baby was.

Veronia wasn’t very knowledgeable about this either. Her information came from previous online searches, meaning her understanding of Magma Baby wasn’t much better than Qi Chen’s.

As for who knew the most about Magma Baby? Eyes turned to Agunas, and Veronia awaited an explanation from him.

With a flick of his tail, Agunas reluctantly said,

"I don’t know much about Magma Baby either, but it can definitely be classified as a special group Spirit Beast."

Agunas took out a book, flipping through it as he spoke.

"The birth of Magma Baby originates from Yognot. According to human research, it seems related to chaotic rules induced by Yognot."

"Moreover, as a Spirit Beast, Magma Baby can only master a few fire-element Ultimate Moves and lacks self-defense means."

Shaking his head slightly, Agunas continued reviewing the materials in his hand, stating,

"However, according to their research, within the influence of Yognot, Magma Baby possesses a unique ability, which is why I and the information recognized it as a special group."

The special group does not refer to attributes but a unique classification in Spirit Beast taxonomy, like the Prolonging Life Incense encountered by Feng Yuan and Qi Chen’s Hao Chun Bird, which also fall into the special group.

Although it can’t be said that Spirit Beasts in the special group can never evolve, most of them lack evolutionary forms, and there’s considerable strength variance.

Notable entities like Yognot, Yu Xian’er, and Kavieng, with their immense power, also belong to the special group.

The sole criterion for classifying the special group is whether the Spirit Beast possesses an extremely distinctive feature.

For instance, powerful members of the special group, like Kavieng and the previously non-Divine Beast-level Estir, exhibit special traits in their embryonic powers akin to Divine Beasts and authority.

Aside from those Spirit Beasts admitted by strength, more commonly, some possess special abilities and Ultimate Moves, like the unique ability of Prolonging Life Incense.

Initially, there was debate on whether Hao Chun Bird belonged to the special group. However, consensus formed as its Ultimate Moves became increasingly understood, acknowledging its inclusion in the special group.

Without the exceptional mastery of Crystal Domain-related Ultimate Moves by Hao Chun Bird, other Spirit Beasts would struggle to match its capabilities.

If Magma Baby is classified in the special group, it must have some unique ability; otherwise, merely lacking an evolutionary form isn’t enough for the classification.

Lifting his head, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Magma Baby can, within Yognot’s influence range, continuously cultivate Spiritual Medicine and Materials birthed with magma as the base."

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting this trait to be where Magma Baby’s uniqueness lies. But thinking carefully, one would realize its importance to Cha Mu Town.

Of course, due to the prerequisite conditions, Feng Yuan understood why they dared to showcase Magma Baby to tourists.

The reason being, to outsiders, Magma Baby is utterly useless. Even illegal organizations wouldn’t dare lay hands on it readily.

Since Magma Baby is so peculiar, being part of the special group Spirit Beasts, its capabilities influenced by Yognot, or rather, it might have been born because of Yognot.

An entity like this would be under the care of Divine Beasts, even without human protection, just as seen in Red Tribe.

If an illegal organization dared harm Magma Baby, Divine Beasts wouldn’t simply let it go.

As for researching a solution to Magma Baby’s ability restrictions?

Cha Mu Town wouldn’t do it, nor would illegal groups, as the cost is too high. With such ability, they’d rather explore other ways to cultivate Spiritual Medicine and Materials.

"Oh, I see, Magma Baby is a special Spirit Beast. I wonder what it looks like~ Since they let it interact with tourists, its appearance is probably not bad~"

Clapping his hands, Feng Yuan said excitedly. He didn’t think too much about it, as Magma Baby’s ability held no significance for him. The only thing he was curious about was its appearance.

Unfortunately, just from the name, Feng Yuan could guess that Magma Baby definitely wouldn’t be plush and fluffy—not considering anything else; one look at the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound told him that.

Though being a Fire-Attribute Spirit Beast, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s fur coat couldn’t entirely withstand flames, let alone magma, which is more formidable than fire.

If the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound dared touch magma, even if itself remained unscathed, its soft fur would likely be seared off.

"It’s not about hosting; it merely permits tourists to interact with Magma Baby, and this place counts as one of Magma Baby’s habitats."

Qi Chen slightly shook his head, explaining that these details were noted in the tourist guidebook, including reminders warning visitors not to disturb Magma Baby’s daily life.
