248: Chapter 248 Battle_1 248: Chapter 248 Battle_1 Nodding to everyone, Captain Yang began to critique the team’s performance in the battle.

After listening to Captain Yang, the team couldn’t help but lower their heads to reflect on the recent fight, at which point Captain Yang changed the subject and said,

“The location you chose for your camp is not good.

Although the cave can shelter you from wind and rain, don’t forget that many Spirit Beasts can penetrate rock walls.

I believe that aside from Feng Yuan, none of you considered this.

If it hadn’t been for Feng Yuan setting up a Crystal Barrier, you would have faced a pincer attack from the Grass Lizards and the mole-like creatures…”

As Captain Yang continued to critique, the team realized there were so many problems with their previous arrangement.

After explaining all the issues, Captain Yang turned and left.

Seeing Feng Yuan’s smug look, Qi Chen couldn’t help but smack him hard on the back and said fiercely,

“You knew about this problem and still you didn’t tell us!”

Feng Yuan, looking innocent, faced his fierce teammates and said,

“Well, I thought I’d wait until an actual problem arose to mention it.

After all, you might not have remembered if I had just said so.”

Dou Yanlan, somewhat curious, asked Feng Yuan,

“So where should the correct campsite location be?”

“That’s not fixed, as everyone’s Spirit Beast is different and the unique abilities they possess are not the same.

If you’re setting up camp in a cave, you must give extra consideration to the cave walls.

Besides setting up in the skies, all campsites must also take the ground into account.”

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the team looked at the ground in surprise, and Dou Yanlan, with a hint of astonishment on her usually calm face, said to Feng Yuan,

“I forgot that many Spirit Beasts have the ability to burrow.”

“A campsite in the sky is simply impractical.

Who can put a campsite up there?

Not even camping gear can manage that.”

Seeing Pei Yu arguing with Feng Yuan again, Zhong Liuyan hurriedly shouted,

“Shut up!”

“But can you really set up camp in the sky?”

“Of course, Wind Attribute floating abilities and levitation Runes can all do it.

Those that are entirely airborne, or Earth Systems can also just prop up a few pillars, and it wouldn’t be that different.”

“Can the defenses keep up with that?”

“Defense?

You’re not thinking of turning it into some sort of battle fortress, are you?

The only purpose of a campsite is to provide a resting spot that shelters from wind and rain, and it also serves to prevent sneak attacks, using the campsite for defense…”

“Indeed, a campsite is typically only for rest, and preventing sneak attacks is something I’m hearing for the first time.”

Pan Yan calmly spoke after looking at Pei Yu, and Qi Chen, curious, then turned to Feng Yuan and said,

“Can Ah Mu build an aerial campsite?”

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said irritably,

“Do you think that’s possible?

I can’t guarantee that Ah Mu’s evolved form will have the energy required to sustain an aerial campsite.”

“Having strong combat power doesn’t mean having a high energy limit.

Whether Ah Mu evolves into a little tree demon or a Giant Tree Demon, it’s inclined towards a defensive type anyway.

If it’s a defense type like Duomeng’s, it probably has enough energy to sustain an aerial campsite at the Good Level.”

“Of course, Duomeng probably doesn’t have the energy control to do it either.

Anyway, I’ve already reinforced this cave for you.

Don’t bother setting up any other campsites~”

“Still, you should be careful during official competitions.

Since the so-called combat tests involve these Spirit Beasts’ group attacks, there won’t be just one wave.”

Dou Yanlan analyzed, and Feng Yuan, with his hands behind his head, sat on the plant bed leaning against the cave wall and said,

“Probably, but today is just for experience, I guess there won’t be more than two or three waves at most.

And your teamwork really…”

Feng Yuan said, glancing at Qi Chen and continuing,

“Qi Chen, haven’t you taught Ah Mu any healing abilities?

And Pei Yu’s Duomeng too, the Steel Rhino obviously specializes in defense, so why do I see Duomeng using all sorts of Offensive Ultimate Moves.”

“Xiao Bai is not too bad, being of the attack type, but still must pay attention to the others.

If the defenders can’t stop the enemies in time, attackers are the best choice to intercept them.

Of course, once Ah Mu evolves, it can take over defense duties.”

“Cotton doesn’t seem to have any group enhancement abilities?”

Seeing Feng Yuan looking at her, Cotton proudly raised its head and flicked its tail.

Dou Yanlan stroked Cotton and said,

“I ignored that for one-on-one battles, but I’ll make sure it learns.”

Hearing Dou Yanlan’s words, the languid Cotton bristled slightly, and Feng Yuan glanced at Cotton and said,

“You’re just an assistant; at best you can be considered half an attacker, so why the fuss?

You haven’t even got your own role down pat.”

“Isn’t it possible to cultivate Spirit Beasts according to their own preferences?”

At this moment, Zhong Liuyan looked doubtfully at Feng Yuan, who sighed after gently touching Xiao Ji,

“If you think their strength doesn’t require teamwork, then do as you please.

Especially since you’ll definitely have a second and a third Spirit Beast in the future.

I’m afraid if you go by preferences alone, the moment you enter battle, it’ll just be a chaotic rush.”

“What about your Xiao Ji then?”

“It’s a strong attacker, obviously.

Do you think with its battle-hungry nature it can just obediently do anything else?”

“But just now it didn’t make a move…”

Seeing Qi Chen’s dissatisfaction, Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji and said,

“Don’t you think it would be interesting to release Xiao Ji on the day of the competition?

After all, even if it’s pouring with rain, people scouting for information are indispensable.”

As Feng Yuan’s gaze drifted into the distance, the others said in surprise,

“Are there other people here?!”

“Of course.

To come out and scout in heavy rain, they really are diligent~”

All afternoon, various groups of Spirit Beasts time and again attacked the team.

Relying on the cave, the team managed to deal with these Spirit Beasts rather easily.

Through continuous battle, the team gradually developed an understanding, and their Spirit Beasts also stopped fighting on their own.

After persuasion from Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji joined the fray.

Peering at Feng Yuan lying on a bed of plants, covered by a huge leaf, occasionally lifting his hand, a rainbow light rain fell down healing everyone’s injuries.

Qi Chen could no longer hold back and rushed over to throw off the leaf, roaring,

“Either fight or get out of the way and laze around!

What even is this?”

As Feng Yuan sat up, he looked at the bewildered crowd and said,

“Didn’t I say I was in charge of healing?

With your great cooperation, there are hardly any injuries.

What would you have me do, then?”

“Can’t you fight along with us?”

“Pei Yu!”

Zhong Liuyan gave Pei Yu a glare and with a snort of disdain, he said,

“That guy is just faking it.

We all saw that he’s fully capable of attacking with a Greatsword earlier, and now he’s pretending he has no fighting ability.”

Looking at the Scepter in his hands, Feng Yuan said with a smile,

“You know that I used a Greatsword before.

The Greatsword is the power I got from the White Wolf Deity transformed, while only the Sickle is my own power.

The power of the White Wolf Deity can’t always be summoned, at least the power of Nagna is a bit easier to harness.”

“No wonder the Ultimate Move you threw looks so much like Nagna’s.”

Zhong Liuyan had a look of realization as she watched Feng Yuan.

As battles continued, the team began to divide into two groups, taking turns to rest.

By evening, after a not so delicious roasted meat meal, Feng Yuan sat outside the cave, holding Xiao Ji and gazing at the starry sky.

Sensing someone approaching, he turned his head to find Liu Yan coming over.

She carefully sat down beside him and with a smile, said,

“Why are you out here alone, watching the stars?”

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen, who was talking with Dou Yanlan, and sighed,

“What else do you think I should be doing right now?”

Liu Yan laughed softly as she looked at the starry sky and said,

“Haven’t you thought about getting a girlfriend?”

“Huh?

Why bring that up all of a sudden?”

Liu Yan chuckled and stared at Feng Yuan, saying,

“Don’t they always say that not having a passionate romance during one’s student days is a huge regret?”

Feng Yuan scoffed and gazed at the sky,

“That’s them, I’d rather not…”

Reaching out with a gesture towards the stars, Feng Yuan said with a touch of sentiment,

“It’s a pity that it’s all an illusion…”
