CHAPTER 1422: CHAPTER 1423 ENTERING METEOR VALLEY

"I still prefer the traditional Beast Tamer competitions rather than these where any tactic can be used. I really don’t like it."

Long Boduo glanced at those people and whispered. It had just overheard their conversation and felt very uncomfortable. If normal Beast Tamer competitions sometimes use little tricks for victory, then here, they would use any means, which made it feel uneasy.

"It’s quite normal. After all, with interests involved, and since it’s not the official Alliance Beast Tamer competition, such things happening is really quite usual. Everyone would think their ’little tactics’ are justified, right?"

Feng Yuan said with a slight smile. Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan puzzled, not understanding what he meant. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"Do anything for profit? Humph."

"Can’t help it, and sometimes, it’s not necessarily about profit, right? Anyway, are you okay?"

"No worries, my main body can come over to guard now, so leaving a split here isn’t too troublesome."

Agunas said after glancing at Feng Yuan. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said,

"I mean, you didn’t rest last night, did you? Is there a need to go into emergency mode?"

"Because according to the information we received, several illegal organizations have improper intentions towards these meteorites, along with a group of crazy research scholars; who would have thought they happened to be here?"

Narrowing its eyes, Agunas revealed a dangerous aura and said. Najia looked at Agunas perplexed and asked,

"Crazy research scholars? What are they?"

"A group of researchers possessed by madness, but what are they researching?"

Feng Yuan said, curiously looking at Agunas, who flicked its tail and said,

"The origin of meteorites and Spirit Beasts. Even we can’t get to the bottom of this, and they want to investigate the origin of Spirit Beasts through meteorites? That’s simply laughable."

"Well, true, considering Nainefar’s era is the middle period. Strictly speaking, whether Nainefar counts as a Spirit Beast or Divine Beast is another matter. But to study Spirit Beast origins through meteorites? Isn’t that a joke?"

Feng Yuan said speechlessly, touching his chin. Besides the soon-to-appear meteorite-type Spirit Beasts, no Spirit Beast actually emerged from meteorites, so what significance is there in researching them?

Agunas sneered and said,

"In their view, the known origins of Spirit Beasts are no more than lies woven by us Divine Beasts. They assert that the origins of Spirit Beasts involve a large conspiracy."

"Hmm, that idea is really interesting."

Feng Yuan shrugged, feeling helpless about it. However, they were mere researchers, so he couldn’t say how much damage they could cause,

after all, some researchers only study, while some frightful individuals climb the tech tree barehanded, and it’s not like they don’t exist; even Meng Binglan can create time-related equipment, so he couldn’t be certain if those crazy scholars might have some strange device targeting them.

"The situation over there is quite problematic. Besides basic protective measures, we are continuously adding more methods to secure the area. It wouldn’t be this troublesome if not for ensuring the meteorites can fall normally."

Agunas said irritably, closing its eyes. To ensure meteorites could fall normally, the protection they set up in the sky was very weak; if any accident occurs, the trouble would be significant, as the sky might become their breach point.

"We can’t drive everyone away, can we? That would be too domineering."

Feng Yuan said helplessly, shaking his head. Even setting the location in a remote forest was useless; there have always been strong-minded adventurers and madmen in the world, rather than those newly emerged meteorite Spirit Beasts; living in such places might not be a good thing, as the environmental danger levels there aren’t caused by Spirit Beasts.

Those places weren’t suitable for Spirit Beasts of all strength levels to live, which is why regions occupied only by Legendary or even Legendary Level Spirit Beasts exist not because those Spirit Beasts drive away lower-level Spirit Beasts, but simply because lower-level Spirit Beasts can’t survive there.

"That’s how it should be. Tomorrow, Najia, you’ll likely need to go with us for a trip, given your Authority is related to stars, and this matter is somewhat connected to you."

Agunas sighed, looking at Najia, and said. The other nodded and said,

"I understand. At that time, I’ll leave it to you."

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, protecting people is what I’m good at."

Feng Yuan said proudly, patting his chest. In fact, it was true; this wasn’t his first time doing similar things. As for any accidents? His strength was evident, so he wasn’t afraid.

Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan hesitantly, though he acknowledged Feng Yuan was inexplicably stronger than him; yet in his mind, he thought Feng Yuan shouldn’t be a match for Long Boduo, right? However, Long Boduo had no objection, so naturally, he wouldn’t say anything.

At this point, their entry procedures were completed, and seeing Feng Yuan and the others obtaining gathering permits, some other waiting Beastmasters showed envious looks; as for asking if they could buy or even rob them?

If they had the money, wouldn’t they just go to the market to buy Spiritual Medicine? Even the exclusive Spiritual Medicine from Meteor Valley, in order to attract popularity to Soretcher City, parts of it are auctioned at intervals in Soretcher City valued at bartering levels, and that auction only limits currency usage, not allowing Spiritual Medicine and Materials or other valuable items as substitutes.

They came here to compete for daily permits just to make money, as for robbing, that’s even more impossible. It’s not just the soldiers watching, these permits are bound to individuals, so even if they took them, they’d be useless.

Even, there’s the possibility of it backfiring; generally, it’s impossible to get Meteor Valley gathering permits without going through the arena battles.

Unbeknownst to them, Feng Yuan and his group had unrestricted gathering permits; otherwise, jealousy could make them lose their minds.

Inside Meteor Valley, the valley didn’t seem desolate; instead, due to the unique power of the meteorites, the entire Meteor Valley was covered by forest. If not for the cliffs and rocks exposed, it could easily make people mistakenly think they were in a dense primeval forest.

Everyone walked on the stone path covered with dense grass, and Long Boduo curiously checked the surroundings and said,

"Are there really meteorites here?"

"Isn’t that meteorite fragment over there? But such occurrences aren’t strange; even Spiritual Medicine can be catalyzed, and it’s fortunate more exaggerated things haven’t appeared."

Feng Yuan said with a casual pointer and a smile. Xiao Ji followed behind Feng Yuan unhappily; there was nothing to be done, this place was too unfriendly to Xiao Ji; noticing Xiao Ji struggling through the grass, Feng Yuan smiled helplessly and said,

"Change to your Eggshell Chicken form and I’ll carry you."

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan hesitantly, the other helplessly patted its head and said,

"Alright, if it’s about safety, Agunas and the others are here; if we really need to fight, you can turn back to your original form again. We’re here for gathering herbs, not fighting."

Thinking, Xiao Ji found Feng Yuan’s words reasonable and transformed into its Eggshell Chicken form, jumping onto Feng Yuan’s head to perch. Here, it wouldn’t be tripped by the troublesome wild grass anymore. Just as Xiao Ji thought about this, a vine hanging from a tree whipped onto its face.

Noticing the abnormality, Feng Yuan amusedly moved Xiao Ji to his arms and said,

"Alright, just cope with it."

Squirming in Feng Yuan’s arms, Xiao Ji made a grievance call. Suddenly, Little Ice Cream ran to Feng Yuan’s head, laughed triumphantly, and sat at the spot where Xiao Ji had initially been sitting. It feared no vines, as its meteorite Spirit Beast body was sturdy enough.

Seeing Xiao Ji and Little Ice Cream arguing there, Feng Yuan smiled wryly and didn’t interrupt them. Walking for a while, noticing a plant of Spiritual Medicine, Feng Yuan stopped and said to Yang Hongzhi,

"The Spiritual Medicine over there, Xiao Hui should benefit from it, aren’t you going to take a look?"

"Where?"

Yang Hongzhi followed Feng Yuan’s pointing direction, seeing only dense shrubs hesitated, Xiao Hei followed Feng Yuan’s pointing direction, after a while, let out a surprised shout to Yang Hongzhi. Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi surprisingly and said,

"Well done, improved so quickly?"

"Not so simple, it’s just that it cares about Xiao Hui also."

Yang Hongzhi said scratching his head embarrassedly, and as for the truth, probably only he and Xiao Hei would understand.
