Chapter 1424: Chapter 1425 White Wolf

The group was playing by the lakeside for a while, when Feng Yuan suggested whether they should have a picnic there. Suddenly, a howl came from the forest. Turning to look behind him, Feng Yuan said in confusion,

“Strange, this place is…”

“Xiao Hei, what did you discover?”

Yang Hongzhi noticed Xiao Hei staring at the forest with a fierce expression and asked in wonder. Xiao Hei howled softly, as if warning about something. Agunas swished its tail and said,

“It says someone is coming, a wolf-type spirit beast? And one with a strong presence at that?”

Hearing Xiao Hei’s howl, it only felt odd. At this moment, Ah Mu moved the Flower Leaf Tree Three Spirit Beasts to its treetop, shifting its body to block Qi Chen from the forest. It stared at the forest with a tense expression. Cotton jumped down from Dou Yanlan’s arms, fur bristling as it stared at the woods, while Xiao Ji looked at the forest in confusion, feeling that something was strange.

Feng Yuan scratched his head, looking at the various spirit beasts, and asked Agunas,

“Could it be an enemy? But it shouldn’t be, right?”

“Doesn’t seem like it, at least I don’t feel any threat.”

Long Boduo scrutinized the forest in perplexity while Little Ice Cream hid behind it, looking fearful and occasionally muttering something.

Just then, a huge white wolf emerged from the forest. Seeing the majestic appearance of the white wolf, Dou Yanlan was startled and whispered,

“Is this the White Wolf Deity?! Why would it be here?”

“It’s not the White Wolf Deity; it should be the White Shadow Wolf.”

Qi Chen examined the white wolf, noting that the White Wolf Deity and the White Shadow Wolf looked very similar. However, due to Qi Xiaoshuang, he had closely observed the characteristics of the White Wolf Deity, enabling him to recognize that the giant wolf before them should be the White Shadow Wolf, not the White Wolf Deity. But, is this their habitat?

“Strange, why did they come here? I don’t recall the White Shadow Wolves having the ability to cross regions.”

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan studied the White Shadow Wolf in confusion. He knew well about the abilities and habitat of those White Shadow Wolves, concluding that it was quite unlikely for them to appear here suddenly. As for the group of White Shadow Wolves he summoned earlier? That was merely Gitalien doing a small favor by opening a portal to send them over.

“Indeed, it’s strange; let me ask.”

Agunas floated forward, examining the White Shadow Wolf as it seemed to communicate with it. After a while, it exclaimed in surprise,

“This is His arrangement? Why?”

The White Shadow Wolf shook its massive head, and although everyone couldn’t understand what it was saying, they clearly knew that the White Shadow Wolf was also unaware of the reason it was here.

After some time, Agunas floated back to Feng Yuan’s side and said,

“It doesn’t understand what it’s supposed to do here either. However, judging from the timing, He instructed it to go and activate the meteor at the moment it falls; there might be a special purpose.”

“The moment the meteor falls? What does He intend to do? If that’s really the case, why send the White Shadow Wolf instead of the White Wolf Deity?”

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said in puzzlement, unable to fathom His intentions. However, he guessed it shouldn’t be something troublesome, right…

“I’m not sure, but if that’s really the case, I…”

“Alright, how about this: we’ll camp here since there’s no specific time stipulated for gathering, right? We’ll keep watch here, and you can head over to the testing grounds with peace of mind~”

Seeing Agunas’ hesitant look, Feng Yuan, knowing full well what it was pondering, chuckled and said. Looking at Feng Yuan, Agunas remained silent for a moment before saying,

“I’m counting on you. I don’t know what He intends to do, hopefully, nothing major will go wrong.”

“There shouldn’t be; if He messed things up, there would be serious trouble. But what could this thing do? Letting the White Shadow Wolf activate it?”

Perplexed, Feng Yuan looked at the meteor and patted Xiao Ji’s head, saying. Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan, called out once, and curiously approached the White Shadow Wolf to study it.

Knowing the purpose of the White Shadow Wolf, the group did not oppose Feng Yuan’s suggestion. After all, if something unexpected happened, it would be indeed better with Long Boduo around.

“Ah! I didn’t expect there would be trouble even here.”

Looking at the White Shadow Wolf resting by the lakeside, Feng Yuan said in exasperation, while Long Boduo twirled the staff in its hand and said,

“This isn’t really trouble, is it? But why is the White Shadow Wolf needed to activate the meteor? Aren’t they supposed to have nothing to do with it?”

“I don’t know; theoretically, there shouldn’t be any connection whatsoever. Moreover, if something really needed to be done, the White Wolf Deity is obviously more suitable than the White Shadow Wolf. Yet He chose to bring the White Shadow Wolf, leaving us clueless about His exact intentions.”

Feng Yuan pondered and said, genuinely puzzled, as the White Wolf Deity wasn’t even busy at the moment and could have easily helped. Why, then, had He chosen the White Shadow Wolf?

There’s a substantial gap in strength between Divine Beasts and Spirit Beasts. Divine Beasts inherently govern rules, unless, like Xiao Ji, due to special reasons, it hasn’t yet formally achieved Divine Beast level strength. Otherwise, in handling unexpected situations, Divine Beasts far exceed Spirit Beasts.

“Maybe He thinks the White Shadow Wolf is better? It looks like the White Shadow Wolf isn’t too bad either, at the very least, it’s a handsome wolf~”

Long Boduo observed the White Shadow Wolf resting by the lake and said. Although its aura might differ from the White Wolf Deity, it’s not by much. For those unfamiliar with it, mistaking it for the White Wolf Deity wouldn’t be impossible either.

Glancing at Long Boduo, Feng Yuan walked to the White Shadow Wolf. Noticing Feng Yuan, the wolf looked at him in confusion as he reached out to grab a tuft of its long, white fur. Feng Yuan inspected the end of the fur, noting the faint, ghostly blue sheen at its tip, and said,

“A Death-type White Shadow Wolf? That’s even stranger.”

Even though the White Wolf Deity’s attribute is death, it’s rare for a White Shadow Wolf to have such an attribute because they’re typically spirit beasts of ordinary lifeline. During their natural birth, they’re more likely influenced by external factors, often resulting in ordinary elemental attributes. This White Shadow Wolf must hold a high status within its pack, Feng Yuan mused internally.

Death-type White Shadow Wolves naturally grasp a special ultimate move derived from the power of the White Wolf Deity, whereas White Shadow Wolves of other elements need to undergo arduous training to acquire this move and capability.

“Is it that strange? I remember the White Wolf Deity having the death attribute. Aren’t they death-type spirit beasts?”

Long Boduo, puzzled, asked from the side. Lacking the reference materials like Agunas, it could only rely on its knowledge to make judgments. But it wasn’t particularly familiar with the White Wolf Deity and the White Shadow Wolves, naturally unaware of the White Shadow Wolfs specifics.

Feng Yuan glanced at Long Boduo, explaining the special nature of the White Shadow Wolf. Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Long Boduo studied the White Shadow Wolf and said,

“I see, so it should be able to get along well with Xiao Ji ~”

Standing by Feng Yuan’s side, Xiao Ji gave Long Boduo a puzzled look, not quite understanding what it meant. Long Boduo chuckled and said,

“Aren’t you both death attribute beings ~ Moreover, you’re both quite unique, so you should have a lot in common, right?”

The White Shadow Wolf glanced at Long Boduo, deciding to ignore it, while Xiao Ji curiously examined this White Shadow Wolf. Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji with a sigh and said,

“That joke of yours… A Death-type White Shadow Wolf holds a significant status within the pack, being the closest to the White Wolf Deity in terms of attributes. Xiao Ji is different, it…”

Xiao Ji lifted its head, gazing at Feng Yuan in confusion, baffled by why he didn’t finish what he was saying. After waiting for a long while and seeing that Feng Yuan wasn’t going to mention it, Xiao Ji broke free, running to the side in dissatisfaction.

Agunas gave Long Boduo a quick glance and said irritably,

“You, stop bringing that up!”

Long Boduo might not understand, but Agunas did. What Feng Yuan left unsaid was that Xiao Ji didn’t have its own tribe. After all, the moment it became a Divine Beast, it ceased to be an Eggshell Chicken, especially after evolving, which completely isolated its evolutionary path from other spirit beasts.

Feng Yuan chuckled, walking over, trying to coax Xiao Ji into the water, seeing that Xiao Ji had shifted its focus from Feng Yuan’s unspoken words to overcoming its resistance to water. Agunas glanced at Long Boduo and asked,

“Do you really not understand what it means?”

“Alright… But didn’t we all go through this?”
