Although a bit curious, Feng Yuan and the others weren’t in a hurry to join the commotion because they hadn’t finished their al, but everyone’s eating pace increased noticeably.
The continuous noise made Agunas unable to resist turning his head towards that direction. Though he couldn’t hear clearly, he gathered that sothing had happened, perhaps related to the Serene Forest Sea?
"Could sothing have happened?"
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with so concern. It wasn’t that he doubted Feng Yuan, but if sothing did happen and Feng Yuan intervened, it likely wouldn’t develop in a negative direction. Yet, Qi Chen didn’t explicitly express this sentint because he didn’t want to interfere with Feng Yuan’s choices.
Not noticing Qi Chen’s thoughts, Feng Yuan pondered for a mont before saying,
"I don’t know; we’ll go have a look later to find out. Anyway, even if sothing happens, Linqiu City isn’t easy to ss with."
Feng Yuan chuckled and didn’t continue the topic. Linqiu City and Maomu City are not the sa; in terms of combat strength alone, Linqiu City far surpasses Maomu City.
There’s no choice, being deep within the Serene Forest Sea, if one’s strength isn’t sufficient, wouldn’t any accident be left to fate?
This circumstance is not only unacceptable to the people of Linqiu City but also not allowed by Great Xia.
Therefore, even if sothing bad happens, the possibility that Linqiu City can handle it themselves is quite high. As for Wild Spirit Beasts attacking Linqiu City for unknown reasons?
This possibility isn’t nonexistent, but the probability is low because they know Linqiu City’s strength, and Linqiu City doesn’t have resources they need, making it aningless for Wild Spirit Beasts to make a move. Even if soone tries to mislead, they might not succeed.
Moreover, Agunas is here. Although Agunas cares about Wild Spirit Beasts, it doesn’t an he will unconditionally side with them. If Agunas finds out the Wild Spirit Beasts are unreasonable, his intervention is harsher than other Divine Beasts.
If the threat isn’t from Wild Spirit Beasts, then the potential events aren’t many. Of course, aside from the usual accidents, there’s another possibility.
Feng Yuan had anticipated this, but he thought it wouldn’t lack timing. Furthermore, Feng Yuan didn’t believe things coincidentally just happen like this.
Despite not considering himself to bring trouble wherever he goes, Feng Yuan still sped up his eating.
Unlike before when they casually enjoyed food and chatted, now everyone was quietly eating, and after finishing most of the not easily portable food, Feng Yuan directly picked up the bag of snacks and said,
"Let’s go, check out what exactly is happening over there."
At this point, not only Feng Yuan but also Qi Chen realized there might be so trouble.
After all, the noise didn’t stop, and the panic expressed on the faces of the surrounding passersby couldn’t be deceived.
anwhile, the Special Adjustnt Bureau received reports from various locations, including the Serene Forest Sea, where similar abnormal phenona occurred, forcing the bureau to recall all personnel on vacation to deal with this unusual event.
Feng Yuan didn’t expect the anomaly to appear beyond the Serene Forest Sea; or symbolically speaking, it’s just a coincidence, although it felt a bit too coincidental to Feng Yuan.
"Hmm, a large number of black obelisks suddenly appeared in the Serene Forest Sea? Those things..."
Feng Yuan quickly figured out what happened while eagerly joining the crowd. Currently, there hasn’t been any verified damage incident, but the sudden appearance of nurous black obelisks in the Serene Forest Sea is an undeniable fact.
As for the origin of those things, Feng Yuan had so thoughts.
Turning to Long Boduo, Feng Yuan said with a wry smile,
"How about it? Interested in checking out those black obelisks in the nearby forest?"
"Of course, if they’re related to us in the Netherworld, they’d have no choice but to show up."
Long Boduo casually replied. Although black obelisks aren’t unheard of in the real world, considering the peculiar situation of this forest and their more frequent appearance in the Netherworld, Long Boduo couldn’t help but suspect it might be connected to the disturbance they previously created.
Feng Yuan was uncertain about this since the things in Kui Shan Town shouldn’t cause such dramatic changes.
The place itself doesn’t possess exaggerated power, although the reason it touched the Yin World isn’t clear, the issue doesn’t seem significant to Feng Yuan.
However, the mutation in the Serene Forest Sea made Feng Yuan wonder if things from Kui Shan Town caused these changes or if there’s sothing lurking in the Netherworld.
After all, the Netherworld is rather unique; even though Long Boduo and others patrol, they mostly check for suspicious individuals wandering there without conducting detailed examinations.
The Netherworld is vast and sparsely populated, with many areas in constant desolation, leaving potential for soone to hide sothing anyti.
Like the suddenly appearing black obelisks this ti, Feng Yuan initially thought of a specific Netherworld product: the Netherworld Obelisks.
Though those things look like man-made objects, Netherworld Obelisks are natural rule products, primarily distributed in the Netherworld region corresponding to the Oilia Region, with similar natural rule manifestations in different areas.
The appearance of Netherworld Obelisks here is indeed strange, but considering the overlap between the Serene Forest Sea and the Netherworld, Feng Yuan hoped they’re Netherworld Obelisks rather than sothing oddly troubling,
as if they were, the likelihood of an incident would decrease slightly.
As for the effect of Netherworld Obelisks? Feng Yuan believed they shouldn’t cause too much influence.
After all, they’re essentially guide beacons, functionally overlapping with Long Boduo’s Authority.
But if they weren’t Netherworld Obelisks, it’d be concerning. According to those people, if nurous questionable and unknown obelisks appear throughout the Serene Forest Sea, if they’re not Netherworld guide beacons, the outco is uncertain.
Unlike Feng Yuan, Qi Chen hadn’t linked them to Netherworld Obelisks since they’re docunted but not part of textbook knowledge.
Dou Yanlan thoughtfully looked at Long Boduo, knowing about Netherworld Obelisks, she’d find Long Boduo’s words sowhat strange if they’re truly involved.
After all, in her understanding, Netherworld Obelisks fall under Long Boduo’s subordinates, so why would he speak like that?
Regarding the unexpected mutation, everyone agreed with Feng Yuan’s plan to investigate, even Qi Chen and the others.
There was no other choice; although Great Xia could be trusted, with so many Divine Beasts with Feng Yuan, he could solve the trouble more quickly, and besides, Feng Yuan didn’t resist this matter.
Even with the mutation in the Serene Forest Sea, Linqiu City hasn’t prohibited Beastmasters from entering the Serene Forest Sea, mainly because most who co here are knowledgeable Beastmasters who assess the risk of entering the forest under these circumstances.
Even the soldiers at the checkpoints noticed Feng Yuan’s group but rely frowned without saying anything.
As long as Linqiu City hasn’t issued a warning, checkpoints can’t stop Beastmasters from entering the Serene Forest Sea. Of course, running around recklessly could lead to consequences at their own risk.
"The nearest obelisk seems to be in that direction, any perception?"
Suspecting Netherworld Obelisks, Feng Yuan directly questioned Long Boduo, who sensed and said,
"Indeed, it’s a Netherworld Obelisk, but it appears not to be in an active state, which is peculiar."
Typically, Netherworld Obelisks and other guide beacons stay active, only entering dormancy during unforeseen changes.
Because they’re associated with Long Boduo’s Authority, even in dormancy, Long Boduo can perceive their presence slightly.
"Not in an active state? Could it be due to spatial transfer?"
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan was unsure of the situation. However, given Long Boduo’s perception, those things aren’t too far, thus Feng Yuan didn’t overthink it. After all, investigating in person is better than pondering aimlessly.
