After working hard all night with Liao Yu and the others, by morning, everyone finally planned to take a short break. Feng Yuan, in the form of a Little Husky, lay motionless on the Big Cat’s head, sitting on the ground as the Big Cat quietly sorted through the information using its spiritual power. Although this matter had nothing to do with the Big Cat, it couldn’t do anything else because of the Little Husky lying on its head.
Liao Yu and Huo Feng took a short nap in the lounge. They stayed up all night and even they found it hard to endure. Ye Hanlei also wanted to take a short break in the lounge but was persuaded to return to the dormitory by Feng Yuan and Liao Yu.
As for Veronia? Like Agunas, it never returned, and Feng Yuan didn’t know where they went.
After resting for just two or three hours, Huo Feng got up and revived himself. Even though he knew that not resting enough could cause big troubles, he wasn’t an ordinary mber of the Special Duty Team. Having been specially trained to function for long periods without rest, Huo Feng could ensure that compressing sleep to just a day or two wouldn’t lead to any serious consequences.
Noticing the Little Husky lying motionless on the Big Cat’s head, Huo Feng carefully closed the door when leaving the lounge and hung a sign on it. As for Liao Yu, who was still resting? He assud Liao Yu didn’t have the sa abilities as him, so there was no rush to wake him.
Feeling soone poking him, the Little Husky groggily opened his eyes and looked around. Liao Yu poked the Little Husky’s back and said,
"Aren’t you hungry? It’s noon. How about eating a little sothing first?"
"Hmm, is it noon already?"
Rubbing his eyes, the Little Husky jumped off the Big Cat, landed on the ground, transford back into his human form, yawned, and said,
"Didn’t expect to sleep that long. But aren’t you in a hurry?"
"No matter what, we won’t really rely on you to solve most of the problems."
Looking helplessly at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu said with a wry smile that although Feng Yuan could help them a lot, it wasn’t necessary for him to act. After all, this was the Special Duty Team’s business to begin with; currently, it was mostly about interrogation and subsequent cleanup investigations, which didn’t require great abilities, just more manpower.
"Speaking of which, by deploying so many people to handle this matter, are the usual tasks being ignored?"
Feng Yuan asked Liao Yu, puzzled. Although not the entire Special Duty Team was handling the aftermath, from what he could see, it still accounted for most of the team’s manpower, which was a result of recalling all mbers from their breaks and leaves.
Both Feng Yuan and Liao Yu were clearly aware that those who had been urgently summoned couldn’t sustain this for long. After all, the Special Duty Team was originally busy, and breaks were essential. They couldn’t be kept busy here for days, unlike Huo Feng, who could push off fatigue through special ans.
At this point, he suddenly thought of Feng Yuan, whose energetic deanor now seed similar to when Huo Feng had postponed fatigue for recovery. Although they had rested for a few hours, it still couldn’t compare to Feng Yuan, especially considering he was bustling about with them all night.
"Why are you looking at like that?"
Seeing Liao Yu looking at him strangely, Feng Yuan asked in puzzlent while yawning, and the other patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder and voiced his doubts. If their relationship wasn’t quite decent, Liao Yu wouldn’t have asked in the first place.
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said nonchalantly,
"Oh, you an that? Isn’t this technique of continuous combat always available?"
"That’s not it. This kind of technique is prohibited from widespread use in modern tis, seemingly due to its harmful effects."
Ye Hanlei, who ca over to check the situation, smiled slightly, saying this technique wasn’t uncommon in the Dynasty Era. Or rather, many practiced it in the Dynasty Era. But in modern tis, the practice has changed, and except in special circumstances, there’s no need for continuous fighting as before.
"Normal people can’t use the Spirit Beast’s power to go on without rest. Besides physical exhaustion, the depletion of spiritual power is the most severe."
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said that now, situations that require staying up all night are rare and so is the broad teaching of this thod. Naturally, those who need to use it will still be taught, just like Huo Feng learned before.
"Spiritual power?"
Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan confusedly, unsure of what he ant. Feng Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly,
"Yeah, haven’t you forgotten that signing the Taming Beast Contract with the Spirit Beast also takes spiritual power? There is a significant difference between human and Spirit Beast’s spiritual power, so imitating the Spirit Beast in this way actually involves considerable expenditure."
"Speaking of which, what’s up with Agunas and the others?"
Feng Yuan said puzzled, scratching his head. If Agunas and the others had encountered an incident, he wouldn’t believe it. Yet, as things stood, they hadn’t returned. If Long Boduo and the others were here, they could have used the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network to contact them.
But now he was left with just two Divine Beasts who weren’t online: indeed, because of their strength, Xiao Ji and Kong Qing couldn’t join the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network, which had strict spiritual power requirents.
"They must be fine; after all, they are Divine Beasts."
Hesitantly, Ye Hanlei said, although she said so, she wasn’t sure about the actual situation either. Hopefully, nothing major would happen. If the Divine Beasts got injured because of the actions in Great Xia, it would be worriso...
"It should be fine. There’s no way those causing trouble can hide so well."
Feng Yuan thought for a mont and said uncertainly. After all, his abilities were well-known. Would soone really look down on him and Agunas by sneaking past to attack them?
"No need to discuss that. Let’s go eat sothing quickly."
Liao Yu hurriedly said, looking at the ti on his phone since it was nearing lunchti.
"I thought you’d co over last night."
Dou Yanlan said with a wry smile to Qi Chen, looking sowhat weary. Although she deliberately hid yesterday, she couldn’t really fool Qi Chen. From his attempts to find out her whereabouts, she knew he had noticed. Though she didn’t explicitly state it, she hinted to Qi Chen about her location.
After all, if she didn’t do this, she could foresee him definitely seeking out Feng Yuan or even heading to the city’s hospital. Of course, she wasn’t sure if Qi Chen would think of this, but she didn’t want him to be so exhausted.
"I... are you okay?"
Scratching his head, Qi Chen noticed in Dou Yanlan’s ward her mother attending to the man. Observing that Dou Yanlan’s injuries weren’t serious, he understood much.
With a smile, Dou Yanlan shook her head and said,
"I’m fine. But I might need to rest there for a while."
She had taken care of him all night, and today ca to replace her. Thinking about last night’s conversation, Dou Yanlan sighed, ultimately letting go.
"Such extravagance, having food from Jufu Tower again today."
Finished with lunch, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but say, and Liao Yu sighed,
"But we’re terribly busy, and we need to keep going later."
"You don’t have to keep following us. These small matters, we can handle them."
Ye Hanlei glanced at Feng Yuan, who wanted to follow, and said. After all, he was indeed busy with them all night and even helped capture a leader. Though that leader couldn’t be awakened yet, they didn’t know what Feng Yuan had done. No ultimate move could wake the leader and his Beast Tar.
"Better let it go. That guy probably should be released. If this continues, I fear he’d truly go insane."
Feng Yuan lightly patted the hawk-shaped Xiao Ji next to him and said. With the powerful physique of a Divine Beast, Xiao Ji had nearly recovered after just one night. It was precisely because of this that Feng Yuan cooled down and started addressing the person’s situation. He decided to lift the Nightmare Curse later; otherwise, he wasn’t sure how much longer the person could hold on.
Liao Yu and Ye Hanlei silently noted that the person who couldn’t be awakened was indeed related to Feng Yuan. It wasn’t surprising, considering he had hurt Xiao Ji, and with Feng Yuan’s personality, it’s fortunate he didn’t go further.
