The White Shadow Wolf carried the group across the roaring sea. As the waves grew stronger around them, the White Shadow Wolf fearlessly headed towards Ghost Island. Xiao Ji, nestled in Feng Yuan’s arms, appeared uncomfortable—this form naturally disliked the sea, not to ntion the waves constantly crashing against the Barrier.
Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, Xiao Ji closed its eyes and curled up. Sensing Xiao Ji’s discomfort, Feng Yuan sighed and gently patted Xiao Ji, humming an unknown lullaby. Under the influence of the song, Xiao Ji gradually cald down. Just as it was imrsing in the lody, the gentle song abruptly ceased.
Xiao Ji raised its head to look at Feng Yuan in confusion, and Feng Yuan lightly patted Xiao Ji’s head, saying with a chuckle,
"We’ve arrived, look around, there’s no water now."
Hugging Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan rotated in place and said with a smile, the tuft of hair on his head slightly swayed. Xiao Ji struggled and jumped out of Feng Yuan’s embrace, transford back to its original form, spread its wings, called out, and rubbed its head against Feng Yuan.
Najia, sitting atop Xiao Hei’s head, surveyed the surroundings and remarked,
"This seems like a primitive island. No clue as to where the villa you ntioned is."
"Are you talking about the Verlun family villa? I recall that Agunas’ book ntioned it being on the other side of the mountain. However, it’s long been abandoned, so who knows what the current state is."
Long Boduo scratched his head and said, Agunas flicked its tail and looked at Feng Yuan,
"This place has a connection with the Verlun family?"
"That’s right. Or rather, the Verlun family mbers initially resisted that catastrophe here, and their last residence was in this location. Besides this being a place for recuperation, they wanted to guard Wilt Bay until the end."
"Isn’t that information from your book? You don’t know?"
Feng Yuan looked at Agunas in surprise. He had seen this information in materials given by Agunas. Had it not noticed?
"I didn’t read that much, but those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts residing here should be connected to the Verlun family, right?"
"Hard to say. After that person passed away, the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts didn’t leave. Instead, they stayed here, and any of those who joined later were simply seeking companions. As for the current situation, your book didn’t cover it."
Feng Yuan shook his head and said. Dou Yanlan, rembering sothing, looked at Feng Yuan and said,
"Isn’t that similar to the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts at the Foreyn mansion?!"
"Exactly, so the antics of those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts in Vitter Town are tolerated by the residents. After all, they sacrificed so much back then."
Observing the island’s pristine environnt, Feng Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying,
"Maybe the residents nowadays don’t fully understand what happened back then, but the traditions live on. Co, let’s go see those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts."
Veronia, holding an umbrella, glanced at the sky. At this mont, it was densely overcast, as if a storm could break out at any mont. Thinking of sothing, she asked,
"This shouldn’t be within their protection range, right?"
"Of course not. No one lives here, so why would they bother protecting it? So, Long Boduo, what do you think?"
Hearing Feng Yuan’s inquiry, Long Boduo understood the implication and, scratching his head, said,
"I should stay here to protect them? But, maybe they’re not willing?"
Recalling the encounter with the Naughty Ghosts, Long Boduo was uncertain. After contemplating, Long Boduo shook his head,
"Leaving them unattended isn’t wise either. After all, they are Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, and protecting them is indeed necessary."
Kong Qing perched on Pomiti, inspected the surroundings, and made a hissing sound. At this ti, Feng Yuan and his companions made their way through the forest. The gusty wind rustled the trees, producing eerie sounds. Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes erged from the dense foliage, staring at them.
"Long Boduo, it’s up to you."
The intense Ghost Power allowed Feng Yuan to deduce what was happening without breaking the illusion. Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Long Boduo nodded, attempted to communicate, but was t with hostility from the creatures, who launched an attack. Unfortunately for them, they were up against a Divine Beast. Even with identical attributes, numbers didn’t guarantee victory.
After receiving a solid thrashing from Long Boduo, the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts spouted so threats and quickly retreated without giving Long Boduo a chance to speak. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas and said,
"Why do I feel like we’re the bad guys?"
"No need to feel; that’s exactly the case."
Agunas remarked nonchalantly, flicking its tail, while Veronia chuckled softly,
"In truth, we’ve invaded their ho. Although this place isn’t really theirs, to them, it probably seems that way."
"Is that... okay?"
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan worriedly. Feng Yuan thought for a mont and shook his head,
"The problem isn’t severe, but it could be troubleso. We may need Long Boduo or Agunas to persuade them; otherwise, they might genuinely regard us as enemies."
"I’ll go. Long Boduo just had a fight with them, which might not be suitable."
"I think I should also go. Being a Ghost Series might help, though looking like this, they might not recognize ."
Long Boduo said, scratching his head and realizing he was in human form. Though he hadn’t intentionally hidden his identity, most Spirit Beasts might not recognize him. Transforming back, Long Boduo snorted and said,
"I’ll take a trip."
"I’d better accompany. If he fights them again, it’ll be troubleso."
Holding a book, Agunas floated away, genuinely concerned about the possibility since Long Boduo seed to have never properly communicated with them.
Soon after Agunas departed, lightning streaked across the sky, and the wind intensified. Feng Yuan stopped abruptly and turned to Veronia,
"Help ask Delong Tower, what’s going on? Could it be that soone disturbed Storm Monta?"
"Not sure, I’ll ask, though it might not know either."
Eyeing the sky, Veronia stated. The clouds were accumulating rapidly, creating a suppressive atmosphere, as if the sky was storing energy, preparing to unleash a destructive storm.
"This is..."
Qi Chen and the others were stunned by the celestial anomaly. After a while, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and shook her head,
"No, the Storm Montas remain where they are. However, they sense sothing amiss here. The storm originating here isn’t triggered by the Storm Montas; indeed, a peculiar force is diminishing their storm."
"Unrelated to Storm Montas?"
Feng Yuan was surprised. anwhile, the White Shadow Wolf, who had been accompanying them, perked its ears, raised its head, and looked around in confusion. Noticing the wolf’s reaction, Qi Chen was about to speak, but realized Feng Yuan was nowhere to be found. No, not just him, even Veronia and the others had vanished?!
Xiao Hei only felt a sudden lightness above and, looking up, couldn’t find Najia. Alard, it barked nervously. Yang Hongzhi patted Xiao Hei’s head, chose not to release Xiao Hui, and surveyed the surroundings,
"Be extra cautious, especially you, Qi Chen. Since you haven’t let Ah Mu out, keep it in the space first. If sothing stray causes us to separate again, at least you have a power backup."
"Xiao Hei, we’re counting on you for our safety now."
Nearby, Big Cat whimpered, seemingly unhappy. But noticing Pomiti dazedly sitting there, Big Cat quickly used Telekinesis to place Pomiti on its head. Reminded by Big Cat, Yang Hongzhi realized that, except for Kong Qing, Big Cat and the others hadn’t wandered off. Bewildered, he pondered what had happened.
Who knows if Xiao Ji got separated from Feng Yuan. If they did split, Feng Yuan might frantically call out. Although he didn’t want to think about it, Yang Hongzhi composed himself and resolved not to focus on such worries.
Cotton glanced at Dou Yanlan, licked her hand, and owed. After grooming Cotton’s nape, Dou Yanlan knew what it ant—for safety’s sake, she should retract it back into Spirit Beast Space. Though Cotton disliked the environnt there...
After hesitating for a mont, Dou Yanlan didn’t put Cotton into the space. Its claws tightly grasped her hand, as if fearing she would vanish.
