CHAPTER 1426: CHAPTER 1427: METEORITE FALLS

"Woo?!"

Early the next morning, as the White Shadow Wolf got up, Feng Yuan, who had been sleeping on its back, was flipped onto the ground by its movement. Fortunately, Ah Mu noticed in time, and the lush green grass firmly supported Feng Yuan. Rubbing the part that got hit, Feng Yuan looked at the White Shadow Wolf resentfully and complained.

However, the White Shadow Wolf didn’t care about Feng Yuan’s resentful gaze, flicked its tail, and left directly. Seeing this, Feng Yuan scratched his head in confusion and said,

"Where is it going? Hmph! It actually threw me off! You wait!"

"You don’t really think it’s like those Spirit Beasts you usually interact with, do you?"

Agunas flicked its tail and said speechlessly. This situation was more normal. After all, that White Shadow Wolf wasn’t particularly familiar with Feng Yuan. Even though he had previously directed the White Shadow Wolves to come over, it was just to ask them for assistance. Wanting to casually bully them like Big Cat and the others was a difficult matter.

"Who told you not to rest properly in the tent?"

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said irritably. Last night, he had reminded Feng Yuan not to lie on the White Shadow Wolf, and now it’s no surprise—shouldn’t he be grateful that the White Shadow Wolf didn’t express any dissatisfaction, or it would have been trouble.

"It’s fun~ Today I’m planning to wander around here; what about you guys?"

Feng Yuan squinted and smiled as he looked at Qi Chen and the others and asked. After a moment’s thought, Qi Chen said,

"Perhaps collecting more Spiritual Medicine and Materials, the opportunity is rare..."

Though he said that, Qi Chen felt a bit guilty; after all, they had already filled Kong Qing’s space with Spiritual Medicine due to the rarity of the opportunity. Continuing to collect...

But thinking of the soaring prices of those Spiritual Medicine, he couldn’t bear to give up. Since they had come, they couldn’t just collect a little bit and be done with it. Furthermore, all the Spiritual Medicine here were relatively rare.

"That’s true. Haha~ Big Cat, how about wandering with me today?"

Hugging Big Cat, Feng Yuan yawned and said. Big Cat glanced at Xiao Ji, who was glaring angrily beside it, and meowed a few times. Noticing Xiao Ji’s strange behavior, Feng Yuan amusingly released Big Cat and went over to embrace Xiao Ji, saying,

"Alright, I’m not asking because you’ll definitely follow me, right?"

Xiao Ji turned its head to look at Feng Yuan, called out dissatisfiedly, and rubbed its head against Feng Yuan.

"Are you ready?"

Veronia looked to Agunas beside her and said. The sky at this time was no different from usual, but the Divine Beasts who received information from the Divine Beast intelligence network were tensely watching the sky.

Feng Yuan sat on the grass holding Xiao Ji, watching the White Shadow Wolf, which stood and gazed at the sky. At this time, Agunas had already disappeared to prepare for possible trouble. It must go all out, and Najia had also gone to assist, while Long Boduo, yawning, casually observed the surroundings with his weapon.

He wasn’t worried about protecting Yang Hongzhi and the others, since Feng Yuan was still here. Kong Qing placed Pomiti on Big Cat’s head, vigilantly scanning around. Although perhaps it wouldn’t need to act, it still wanted to help.

Just then, a small shadow appeared in the sky—meteorite—which descended towards its designated location. Seeing this, the White Shadow Wolf quickly acted, leaping onto the meteorite and striking it hard with its paw.

White light emerged from the White Shadow Wolf’s body, with various colored dots blinking in the glow. As those dots merged into the meteorite, it began to transform.

The heartbeat gradually strengthened from weak to strong; the White Shadow Wolf jumped back, crouched slightly, nervously staring at the meteorite. Seeing this, Feng Yuan found it amusing; clearly, the White Shadow Wolf caused the transformation, yet it was scared by it.

Xiao Ji stood in front of Feng Yuan, spreading its wings and intently watching the gradually enlarging meteorite. Amidst the light, the meteorite continued changing shape. Even knowing change was expected, Qi Chen and the others, having rushed back, were still surprised to witness it.

"This... is it a new Spirit Beast?"

Having seen various strange events beside Feng Yuan, Qi Chen couldn’t help but speculate. After a moment of contemplation, the other replied,

"This isn’t a Spirit Beast, or rather, this is a new, Divine Beast!"

"Strange, what is its intention in creating a new Divine Beast?"

Long Boduo waved his weapon, surprisingly calm, knowing that a Divine Beast wouldn’t be too dangerous. But he couldn’t understand why a new Divine Beast would appear here?

Glancing at Feng Yuan, he speculated whether it was because Feng Yuan had created too many new Divine Beasts, and the other couldn’t stand being lonely?

"Long Boduo?"

Amidst the white light, a gentle, feminine voice was heard. Long Boduo was surprised and examined the presence within the light, saying,

"You are the new Divine Beast? But how do you know my name?"

"I have silently watched the living beings for many years; now, I simply finally have the ability to act."

The voice, tinged with a sense of loneliness, said. White mist with colorful starlight emerged from all around, encircling the new Divine Beast cloaked in radiance. Feng Yuan curiously asked,

"Does that mean you have your own name?"

"Yes, I am Morenas, Guardian of the Star Spirit Beasts, born to protect those Star Spirit Beasts."

As its words fell, the glow gradually dissipated, revealing the doll-like Spirit Beast inside. Unlike Veronia’s Divine Beasts clad in priestly robes, Morenas wore a luxurious gown adorned with gemstones, held a gemstone scepter, and wore a gemstone crown, resembling a cartoon queen.

"Hmm, your appearance will definitely concern Veronia."

Feng Yuan chuckled and said. Morenas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Perhaps it will, perhaps it won’t. Now, I need to go find them."

Pointing the scepter towards the spot where the meteorite landed, Morenas said, gently waving the scepter as a flaming Space Gate opened. Morenas stepped into the Space Gate and vanished.

The White Shadow Wolf howled and jumped into the forest, quickly leaving. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said discontentedly,

"So, it just ran?"

Meteorites kept falling. Agunas had intended to use his ultimate move to catch and gently lower the meteorites; however, Najia stopped him. Watching those meteorites plunging into the ground, Najia said,

"Even if you help them now, these meteorites will keep falling. Then, what will you do?"

"Let it be; Little Crocodile, you care too much about those wild Spirit Beasts."

Veronia smiled slightly, speaking to Agunas. At this moment, the small lizard sensed something, calling softly. The meteorites’ crust began to crack, and Meteorite Spirit Beasts crawled out from them. Seeing that all these Meteorite Spirit Beasts were in their infancy, Veronia couldn’t help but complain,

"Isn’t it too much? With so many little babies, we can’t take care of them. Quickly call Feng Yuan; doesn’t he have a Meteorite Spirit Beast? We must involve him in handling this."

"None of them are mature; this indeed... isn’t suitable."

Watching the newly born Spirit Beasts curiously inspecting their surroundings, Agunas flicked his tail and said. He expected some Spirit Beasts like Kong Qing who could care for the group to appear, but now it seemed off.

"Leave them to me; I’ll take care of them before they grow up."

A cool voice rang out. Morenas emerged from the flaming Space Gate and spoke to Agunas and the others. Seeing this never-before-seen Divine Beast, Agunas furrowed his brow, thought of something, and said,

"Are you the Spirit Beast incubated from that meteorite?"

"Correct, my purpose may be to protect them."

Morenas smiled slightly and said. Seeing its lavish attire, Veronia was somewhat displeased but, remembering something, couldn’t help but ask,

"Is your duty only this?"

"The information given to me by the other was only thus. Perhaps this is also why the other let me stand watch for thousands of years—His unawareness on how to utilize me. My innate command over the power of stars conflicts with your authority."

Morenas spoke plainly, as if narrating someone else’s story. Najia paused and said,

"So you can only watch quietly? How could He do that!"

"Silently observing isn’t so bad, watching the Spirit Beasts happily living in the forest isn’t as boring as imagined."

Smiling, Morenas said. Seeing this, Veronia unexpectedly found herself unable to be angry at Morenas’s extravagant attire.
