While waiting for the Special Duty Team to send soone to take this group of illegal wild Spirit Beast captors away, Liao Yu couldn’t help but size up Feng Yuan, noticing the strange look in the other’s eyes, Feng Yuan speechlessly said
"What are you doing?"
"Tsk tsk~ You’re pretty lucky, aren’t you? Going out with us and encountering such trouble."
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan replied grumpily,
"What’s it got to do with ? I don’t believe you haven’t run into any trouble at all these past two days."
"Seems like you’re right, but..."
Even while saying this, Liao Yu still looked at Feng Yuan weirdly, always feeling like this guy could stumble upon all sorts of strange occurrences. As for the appearance of the Mire Sheep here, he wasn’t surprised since there were indeed distributions of Mire Sheep around Maomu City.
In other words, the Mire Sheep themselves aren’t particularly rare Spirit Beasts; it’s just that due to their special habitat requirents, ordinary people rarely encounter them. After all, most unpolluted water sources are far from inhabited places, so naturally, they are indirectly distant from human living areas.
Looking at the pond destroyed by the battle, Ye Hanlei regretfully said
"They probably need to find a new habitat again, not knowing what troubles they might encounter on the way."
"With the Flower Leaf Children here, they may not need to find a new habitat after all."
Feng Yuan glanced at the group of Flower Leaf Children and the Little Leaf Children; he didn’t find it strange for them to appear in the Mire Sheep’s living area. After all, natural clean water sources are rare, so most of the ti, Mire Sheep tribes tend to live close to those communities capable of purifying water sources.
Compared to Water Attribute Spirit Beasts, their only requirent for clean water sources is the absence of impurities. As for energy residues within, they actually don’t care. Mire Sheep’s demand for clean water sources is entirely because of the Mire Sheep wool on their bodies. Once other than special sludge their wool gets stained, they feel uncomfortable.
Using water with impurities to wash their wool only exacerbates this discomfort, which is why Mire Sheep pursue clean water sources.
However, this characteristic changes after their evolution. Upon evolving, their Mire Sheep wool transforms into solidified mud armor, appearing like chunks of earth but significantly enhancing the Mud Armor Sheep’s combat power.
Also, after evolving into Mud Armor Sheep, they no longer have any need for water sources, even after subsequent evolution stages, they don’t pursue clean water sources anymore.
Of course, due to the Wild Spirit Beasts needing to consider their juvenile mbers, wild Mire Sheep tribes still pursue clean water sources. Due to their unique habits, they often choose to live with Spirit Beast tribes like the Flower Leaf Children that can improve water quality.
Those Spirit Beasts that can improve water quality often don’t possess much combat capability. The addition of Rock Helm Sheep is a good thing for them, which is why when Feng Yuan and the others arrived, they saw Flower Leaf Children and Rock Helm Sheep cooperating with enemies, seemingly in harmony.
"The ability of Flower Leaf Children to improve water quality isn’t strong; they might not be able to wait that long. But the team should notify relevant departnts for help."
Liao Yu looked at the murky pond and said, Flower Leaf Children’s water purification relies more on the flowers and plants they cultivate to slowly improve the water quality. However, looking at the current state of this pond, the Mire Sheep might not wait that long.
Thankfully, there is a logistics departnt dedicated to solving such issues, though it doesn’t belong to the Special Duty Team, but is under Maomu City’s control.
Besides the Special Duty Team, even patroln and the City Defense Army might encounter situations needing their intervention. Moreover, indeed patroln are more likely to encounter such needs than the Special Duty Team.
"It’s a pity Veronia and others didn’t co; otherwise, they could solve this quickly."
Looking at the group of Mire Sheep and Little Leaf Children huddled together, Feng Yuan sighed helplessly. He didn’t have any particular thoughts about the Mire Sheep, despite the tribe having good combat power; they didn’t match with Dou Yanlan. More importantly, before evolution, Mire Sheep’s combat power wasn’t reliable.
As for the Little Leaf Children?
They simply don’t et Dou Yanlan’s requirents, as the Little Leaf Children can only stand in support or auxiliary attack roles, overlapping with Cotton’s positioning.
Thinking about this, Feng Yuan realized he might be worrying about his second Beast Tar beast like Qi Chen did.
Giving a self-deprecating smile, Feng Yuan dismissed the thought, looking at Ye Hanlei, curious about what useful information she got from those poachers.
Seeing Feng Yuan look at her, Ye Hanlei glanced at Liao Yu and said
"It’s still about the Domain Awakening issue, these guys..."
According to the information Ye Hanlei gathered, this group ca to capture the Flower Leaf Child leader due to their Domain Awakening ability. However, they initially didn’t expect any Rock Helm Sheep to be in the Flower Leaf Children’s habitat, leading to their initial retreat during the first assault.
As for the chanical Giant that ca later, according to them, it seed to relate to the Domain Crystal Stone, though Ye Hanlei’s explanation wasn’t very clear since she’s not a researcher. So professional terminology, she could only jot down in her notebook.
Instead, based on their description, Feng Yuan guessed roughly what happened. Touching his chin, Feng Yuan said
"I didn’t expect such a thing; though I’m unclear if it’s like that, based on what you said, I suspect they might be using so thod to draw out the power of the Rock Mountain Domain Crystal Stone, covering it on that thing to counter the Rock Helm Sheep’s Thunder Bombing Move."
After all, a Thunder Attribute ultimate move is extrely destructive to most tal machinery due to inherent material issues. Before, he thought it was so special material unexpectedly using the power of the Rock Mountain Domain Crystal Stone to form a protective layer.
However, what puzzled Feng Yuan was that the drawn-out power seemingly rendered the Thunder Bombing Move completely ineffective, which seed strange.
Even though Earth Attribute Spirit Beasts facing Thunder Attribute attacks can certainly mitigate a fair amount of damage, it’s only partial mitigation, not immunity. The displayed effect seed rather unusual.
"Speaking of which, wouldn’t Thunder Elent’s ultimate moves directly beco ineffective within the Earth Attribute Domain Crystal stone’s range?"
With a slight frown, Feng Yuan mumbled uncertainly. He hadn’t researched Crystal Domains much and wasn’t sure if this situation was an exception. Ye Hanlei thought for a mont and said
"It seems not; if it were true, they would’ve marked it when releasing reports."
As this matter has significant impacts, Ye Hanlei didn’t believe Maomu University would overlook this when publishing research reports, implying that this possibility doesn’t exist.
"Hmm, then what’s the deal with this skill? Do all Domain Crystal energies achieve the sa effect? That’s not right, either; Xiao Ji’s ultimate move wasn’t canceled."
Shaking his head slightly, Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji beside him and said, though Xiao Ji used Domain Awakening and focused it for a powerful strike, its attack landed far differently from the Thunder Bombing Move.
"Alas, better to let them study what’s going on."
Sighing, Feng Yuan reached for his phone to contact Maomu University’s professor, while Liao Yu gave a strange look and said
"How do you seem so practiced in this?"
"Hehehe~ I’ve contacted them several tis before. For this kind of Crystal Domain research, I think it’s more reassuring to leave it to them~"
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan laughed as he inford the Maomu University professor. Initially, they thought Feng Yuan was joking, but after affirming with Liao Yu and Ye Hanlei, they had to admit that even with Domain Crystals, there were many research gaps.
However... knowing there’s already Domain Awakening awaiting their preliminary research completion, and many previous Domain Crystal assumptions unverified, they couldn’t help showing a bitter smile, a blissful dilemma indeed...
