Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 111: Camping at the Summit_1

After getting some wood from Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan set up a campfire between the three tents. Calling over the Dreaming Dragon Baby, he lit the campfire and then placed Xiao Ji next to it, saying

"Stay here and warm yourself by the fire, I’m going to prepare dinner."

"Ji..."

"Come on, you’re just a bit wet, is it really that bad..."

Seeing Xiao Ji’s listless appearance, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly. Xiao Ji lay next to the campfire and looked at Feng Yuan discontentedly. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan petted the Big Cat following behind him and, noticing its feathers were also damp from the mist, he said to Big Cat

"You go warm up by the fire too. Didn’t you notice your feathers are all wet?"

After sending Big Cat to the side of the campfire, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly to Dou Yanlan

"The mist on Cloud Summit Mountain is really something, huh? Even Big Cat’s feathers got wet. Cotton, do you want to go warm up by the fire too? I bet your fur is damp as well."

Dou Yanlan looked at Cotton, lying obediently to the side, and cast an inquiring gaze. Cotton licked its paw and cast a look of pride to Xiao Ji and Big Cat sitting by the fire before letting out a dignified meow. Dou Yanlan said to Qi Xiaoshuang, who was busy setting up a tent, with a bit of amusement

"I’ll take Cotton over there for a bit, I’ll be back soon."

Watching Dou Yanlan carry Cotton over to the campfire, Qi Xiaoshuang said with some longing

"I wonder what my first Spirit Beast will be? A majestic White Wolf, perhaps～"

"Or maybe a ridiculously goofy Husky～"

"What Husky? What kind of Spirit Beast is a Husky?"

"Nothing, I meant maybe it’ll be a silly-looking wild wolf～"

"Get lost! There are no fools among Spirit Beasts!"

Qi Xiaoshuang glared at Feng Yuan and, noticing Feng Yuan glanced at Big Cat, contemptuously said

"Your Big Cat is a special case. I definitely won’t choose that kind of Spirit Beast～"

"Pssht, Big Cat is just focused, that’s all. It’s not interested in anything other than games."

"What’s the use of a Scholar-Owl with a gaming speciality? This way, you’re only going to hurt it. Spirit Beasts that don’t have enough strength rely too much on their masters, and humans..."

Qi Xiaoshuang trailed off, unable to continue. Feng Yuan sighed and looked at Xiao Ji and Big Cat in the distance, then petted the Dreaming Dragon Baby yawning on his shoulder and curiously looking around. After a moment of silence, he said

"Maybe a Scholar-Owl with a gaming speciality has its unique strengths～"

"Who knows..."

Qi Xiaoshuang sighed, losing interest in talking to Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan scratched his head, turned, and walked to the finished tent. Finding there was nothing else to do, he approached the campfire and said to Xiao Ji and Big Cat

"I’m going to look around the vicinity. Do you want to come?"

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan, then at the campfire, and hugging Feng Yuan’s leg, it gazed at him expectantly then switched its gaze back to the fire. After rubbing Xiao Ji’s head and seeing that its fluffy hair was almost dry, he said

"Then you wait here for me, okay? I’m just going for a quick stroll nearby; I’ll be right back～"

Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment, reluctantly glanced back at the campfire, and jumped into Feng Yuan’s arms. As Big Cat stood up and walked behind Feng Yuan, he brushed Xiao Ji’s head then, holding it in his arms, he said to Qi Chen

"I’m going to take a look around, I’ll be back soon～"

"Then be mindful of the time; we need to start preparing dinner soon."

"Yeah～"

Feng Yuan, with the three Spirit Beasts, passed the other people’s tents and walked to the cliff’s edge, looking at the increasingly dense mist. Watching Xiao Ji’s fluff slowly becoming damp again, he laughed and said

"Look at you, your fur got wet again since you followed me～"

"Ji!"

"It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the Crystal Barrier can’t completely block out the mist, it only reduces some of it. If you don’t believe me, step out of the Crystal Barrier and see. Your fur will be soaked through in an instant～"

Xiao Ji hesitated, looking at the thick fog outside the Crystal Barrier, then shifted to make itself more comfortable. Seeing Xiao Ji’s discomfort, the Dreaming Dragon Baby disdainfully breathed out fire. Seeing the fire swirl around Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan quickly intervened

"Don’t do that! If you can’t control the fire, you’ll burn Xiao Ji!"

"Arrogant..." free𝑤ebnovel.com

"It’s not that what you’re doing is bad... it’s just that right now, you probably don’t have the strength to control flames. If it were a non-attack move like flame manipulation, it would be one thing, but controlling a fire vortex continuously is very difficult."

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby looking a bit sad, Feng Yuan quickly explained. After a while, the Dreaming Dragon Baby huffed a few times, lay on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, and closed its eyes. Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby like this, Feng Yuan smiled wryly and rubbed Xiao Ji.

"What is this?"

Looking at the ground in front of him, which was alight with sparks, Feng Yuan walked over with some confusion. When Feng Yuan reached out to touch the spark-covered ground, the Big Cat hurriedly fanned away Feng Yuan’s hand with its wings.

"Woo!"

"It’s okay, I’m just looking."

"Woo!"

"Fine, but what exactly is going on here?"

Prevented by Big Cat from touching the ground, Feng Yuan had no choice but to abandon the idea and casually snapped off a tree branch to throw onto that plot of land. It wasn’t long before the branch began to emit black smoke. Feng Yuan stroked his chin, thought for a while without any results, shook his head, and turned to leave. Not long after Feng Yuan left, the sparks on the ground gradually grew larger, ultimately kindling a small flame on the barren land.

"You’ve come back just in time; it’s about time to cook."

"You aren’t planning on making me cook dinner for everyone by myself, are you?"

"Your cooking tastes the best~ Even Yanlan herself says her skills don’t match up to yours~"

"Alright... then you guys have to help me."

After setting Xiao Ji and Big Cat near the campfire, Feng Yuan started to process the ingredients to cook dinner for everyone, directing others to help while he prepared the meal.

"Xiao Shuang, don’t chop it like that; it won’t fry well."

"Who says! I think it needs to be shredded to cook nicely!"

"Shredded red vines? Those things get mushy really easily, and you want to shred them? They’ll just become a gooey mess once stir-fried. You go wash the veggies, stop messing with this."

"Hah! Your skills aren’t up to par."

"If your skills are so good, why don’t you cook?"

"Hmph! I won’t stoop to your level."

After placing the final soup over the campfire, Feng Yuan happily announced that the food was ready to eat. The Dreaming Dragon Baby coiled up and floated above with its big bowl, eyeing Xiao Ji warily. Xiao Ji glanced disdainfully at the Dreaming Dragon Baby, turned its back to protect its food, and Feng Yuan, while eating, said,

"Just now, I found some strange land in the small forest nearby. There’s nothing burnable there, but there were still sparks igniting. Those on night watch tonight be extra cautious, and if anything’s amiss, shout out immediately."

"Is it suddenly appearing like land scorched by a fire-based move? And the sparks aren’t going out?"

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

"No idea, we came here last time to investigate this matter, but I didn’t hear about things like that appearing at the mountain summit last time."

"Then I don’t know either. I’m not sure if it’s the skill or trait of some Spirit Beast causing it, but anyway, everyone be careful tonight."

Hearing the conversation between Feng Yuan and Yang Hongzhi, everyone suddenly became a bit tense. After dinner, Feng Yuan took out a pack of cards and said,

"Let’s play some cards after dinner~"

"How are we supposed to play with just one deck..."

"Who says there’s only one deck~"

Questioned by Qi Chen, Feng Yuan turned to look at Big Cat, who, accustomed to being stared at by Feng Yuan, tilted its head to look back at him. Realizing Feng Yuan appeared to be ready to act again, Big Cat quickly pulled out several decks of cards from its bag. Looking at those cards, everyone became interested, and Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen, following Feng Yuan’s suggestion, each taught their own Spirit Beast to play cards.

"It’s more fun with more people~"

"Ji!"

"Why are you glaring at me? Didn’t I already teach you how to play cards?"

"Really, last night you were the one who fell asleep. Since neither Big Cat nor Dreaming Dragon Baby was sleeping, of course I played cards with them. Otherwise, how would we get through the long night~"

Finding Xiao Ji still a bit angry, Feng Yuan reached out and soothed Xiao Ji with some sweet words until it finally calmed down after a while.
