CHAPTER 1405: CHAPTER 1406: HEADING TO THE NEXT CITY

After admiring the rock paintings of Veronia for a while, Feng Yuan watched as Veronia carefully put the rock paintings into the World of Mirrors and scratched Xiao Ji’s neck, saying:

"It seems quite nice. It’s a pity we have to leave in a couple of days."

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant, and Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, saying:

"Do you want to make one yourself?"

"No need, the thought is what counts. There’s no need to aim so high."

Suddenly picking up Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan laughed loudly and said:

"I wonder if Xiao Ji will get heavier after further evolution~"

Breaking free from Feng Yuan’s hug, Xiao Ji called out in discontent. Belusir quietly watched Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji play around, and Little Ice Cream wanted to join the fun but was pushed away by Xiao Ji’s wing, angrily calling at Xiao Ji. Little Ice Cream attempted to rally Big Cat for support, but Big Cat seemed uninterested, giving a few dazed cries in response.

Kong Qing stepped back a few steps behind Pomiti, hissing a warning at Little Ice Cream. Just as Little Ice Cream felt aggrieved, Feng Yuan hugged it, gently patting it and saying:

"Alright, let’s stop messing around. Shouldn’t we also start getting ready to head back to the castle?"

At this moment, Veronia happened to come out and, upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, nodded and said:

"Let’s go, I’ve been busy for so long, I’m hungry too."

"Thanks a lot this time."

Addressing Agunas, Veronia turned around to express gratitude again to Aoer. Puzzled, Agunas flicked its tail without making a sound, feeling that today’s Veronia was somewhat strange, as the Veronia it knew wouldn’t thank others for such things.

Noticing Agunas’s peculiar gaze, Veronia naturally understood what it was thinking, snorted coldly, and decided not to argue much with it.

Feng Yuan and his group collected spiritual herbs here for a few days. Only after even Qi Chen could skillfully collect the spiritual herbs intact did they choose to leave. Boarding the train, they left the rebuilding Wilt Bay. On the train, Feng Yuan looked at the developed photos and his rock paintings, saying:

"I’ve gathered quite a few souvenirs again~"

"I didn’t expect to get a collection permit for Soretcher’s Meteor Valley."

Looking at the red card in his hand, Yang Hongzhi said in surprise. The resources of Soretcher’s Meteor Valley are much richer than those of the Wilt Bay accelerated by the Power of Time. Although the quantity may not surpass the current Wilt Bay, in terms of quality, it surely outshines Wilt Bay.

"Perhaps they also know what we need, but this isn’t bad. With this permit, we can collect spirit materials from over there. Hmm, this trip directly solved the supplies needed for their cultivation~"

Putting away the photos, Feng Yuan hugged Xiao Ji, smiling and said, scratching his head, Qi Chen said with a guilty face:

"But we didn’t do anything. It was Agunas and the others who put in the effort. Wouldn’t it be..."

"It’s fine, this thing suits you well. Or rather, Middel couldn’t find more suitable thanks for us."

With a flick of the tail, Agunas said indifferently. Not to mention Veronia, even it couldn’t just accept any gift unless there’s a strong relationship like with Feng Yuan. Otherwise, to give it a thank you, more efforts would need to be made. Now, for Middel and Dantia, it’s all a good thing.

Even if Feng Yuan were to sweep all the spiritual herbs away like at the Morson relics, it would still be much cheaper than thanking a Divine Beast.

It believes that Drochkar’s side must understand the specific situation. Aside from the White Wolf God and the Lorraine Tower who guard the starting point due to duty, even Long Boduo who guards the Ghost Island is merely acting out of personal interest. Though they mostly came out to help Wilt Bay through the crisis, Middel and the others should not foolishly assume it’s for granted.

"When you put it that way, you’re right. After all, so many Divine Beasts, if they really wanted to thank, they’d probably have to empty the entire Verlun family’s coffers."

Veronia chuckled lightly, saying. Due to the previous disaster in Wilt Bay, their train didn’t have many passengers before reaching the next big stop. Hence, Veronia and the others simply bought a seat ticket.

The train slowly moved forward, and as it stopped in the big station, more and more passengers boarded, so Feng Yuan and the others had no way to chat across the aisle. In addition, this train isn’t a very special tour line, and in Feng Yuan’s eyes, the scenery on both sides wasn’t anything special. Yawning, Feng Yuan leaned against Xiao Ji standing on the seat beside him and fell asleep.

Although Xiao Ji felt uncomfortable with Feng Yuan leaning on it, taking a look at Feng Yuan, it didn’t push him away. Although it too could sit on the chair like Big Cat, it felt uncomfortable doing so, and it hindered its movement, so it preferred to stand on the seat.

The later boarding passengers naturally noticed Feng Yuan and his group’s extravagant action of also buying seats for a Spirit Beast. However, everyone was out for travel and didn’t want to cause trouble for themselves. Since this train line also didn’t sell standing tickets, those passengers just found their actions somewhat inappropriate but no one spoke up.

As night fell, Qi Chen nudged the still-sleeping Feng Yuan and said:

"Wake up. We’re about to get off."

Rubbing his eyes, Feng Yuan yawned and said:

"Are we there?"

"Huh?! Why are there so many people?"

Feng Yuan was surprised to find the train full of passengers when he woke up, rolling his eyes, Qi Chen said speechlessly:

"Are you kidding? At this time, it’s normal for the train to be full."

Soretcher City and Wilt Bay are separated by several cities. Though there haven’t been many tourists in Wilt Bay due to the natural disaster, the cities in between wouldn’t have that issue. Now having so many people on the train is only normal.

"Get up and get ready to get off. Check if there’s anything you’ve left behind; it’d be troublesome to lose something."

Qi Chen said as he returned to his seat to check his carry-on luggage. As for Feng Yuan’s things? He believed Feng Yuan should be able to handle them. After all, he wasn’t clear on what Feng Yuan brought along.

Noticing Xiao Ji stretching its wings as if stretching, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and understood the situation. Scratching his head, he smiled brightly at Xiao Ji, saying:

"Sorry, I didn’t notice while I was sleeping earlier, but you’re something, why didn’t you wake me?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji voiced a few disgruntled calls as if complaining. With a guilty smile, Feng Yuan comforted Xiao Ji and began checking his belongings. In reality, he didn’t have much to check—his things were either stored in Kong Qing’s space or tucked into the book with Big Cat. All he carried around were items like his phone.

The train slowly stopped, and Feng Yuan and his group disembarked with the crowd. A dense mist rushed in, and Feng Yuan looked around, saying:

"There wouldn’t happen to be another destructive storm here, would there?"

"Probably not. Although it just rained here, it looks like it’s clearing up. Besides, there aren’t the conditions here for such a huge storm to emerge."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas said irritably. Soretcher is inland, and to have a storm like Wilt Bay, only a Spirit Beast of Yognot’s level might achieve that. Of course, a Divine Beast could also do it, but with no grievances, those Divine Beasts wouldn’t target Soretcher.

Moreover, the reason such terrible storms appeared in Wilt Bay to a large extent was due to the time loop and the special local environment. Soretcher City doesn’t have an Earth Energy Circulation vent, nor is its circulation strength high, so unique environments simply wouldn’t occur.

Hugging Xiao Ji in its eagle form, Feng Yuan giggled and said:

"Just being cautious. After all, we just experienced one recently, but is there anything interesting in Soretcher City?"

"Soretcher, the meteorite city. For tourism, it mostly relies on the resources of Meteor Valley and those meteorite-themed souvenirs. However, a peculiar thing about this city is the unusually high number of meteors that fell nearby."

Dou Yanlan said, looking at the information in her hand. After reading through those materials, she considered it just an ordinary city, really.
