Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2132 - 2133: Arrival at Lin Qiu

"Long Boduo, what’s this?"

As the ferry left the domain of the decayed bee swarm, a new swarm of insects attacked again, but this time there were only the crew back on duty on the deck, and Feng Yuan and others had no intention of leaving the cabin.

Compared to the Plague Fog Insect, most of the swarm attacking this round could not invade the inside of the cabin through the ferry’s ventilation system.

However, since those bugs would block the insect-proof net on the outside of the vent fan, the windows and doors were not completely shut to avoid any accidents inside the cabin due to ventilation issues.

At this moment, what passengers needed to do was use insect repellent tools to prevent those bugs from running in through the open windows.

Seeing Long Boduo running off with a can of insect spray to join in the commotion, Feng Yuan felt a bit strange, since for Long Boduo, his Ultimate Move should be able to easily deal with these attacking bugs.

"Just like you, experiencing a different feeling."

Long Boduo glanced at Feng Yuan with a sly smile and said, scratching his head, Feng Yuan seemed to understand something, grabbed a can of insect spray and followed along.

Qi Chen sighed, shaking his head helplessly, Feng Yuan this guy really...

However, at the moment he had no intention of joining, not much he could do, and while it was okay on the deck earlier, as his attention was fully on the attacking insects, now once relaxed, the sleepiness inevitably flooded over him.

Moreover, it wasn’t just them here, almost all the passengers in the cabin took turns dealing with the attacking swarm, therefore their brief rest was fine.

Some passengers even curiously observed their situation, naturally, for Beastmasters unfamiliar with Long Boduo and his kind, curiosity was inevitable. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Veronia at this moment still maintained her human form, sitting steadily in her seat, several crystal stones floating around her, changing shapes, ready to mercilessly wipe out any bugs that dared to approach.

Since this isn’t the deck, Feng Yuan also wouldn’t cause much commotion, so Veronia and the others had no intention of guarding him, especially since Veronia had just vented earlier, now wanting nothing more than to rest.

As the passengers swapped turns, the ferry smoothly continued through this last stretch, watching the brightening sky, Feng Yuan yawned and said,

"Finally arriving～"

Linqiu City is the end of this waterway, where streams converge to form a small lake. With Linqiu City’s development, the former peripheral lake became completely enveloped within the city.

However, no residences were arranged around this lake, after all, it connects with the underground water system. Though it possesses special power, no one dared guarantee no accidents would occur.

So to ensure safety, no one is allowed to reside near this lake, and Linqiu City especially dispatched a garrison to handle emergencies at the first instant.

Stepping off the ferry, Feng Yuan yawned and said,

"Should we find a place to rest for a bit first?"

After all, they had virtually no chance to rest along the way, while they could force themselves to endure, it wasn’t an emergency, and Feng Yuan didn’t want to be so tired.

Qi Chen nodded and said,

"Quite right, but... did you book a hotel?"

Looking at the street filled with people dressed as adventurers, Qi Chen had a bad feeling, with so many people, could it be there was no place to stay in Linqiu City?

"No, but it’s no big deal. There are many hotels in Linqiu City, even during peak season it won’t have any effect."

Smiling, Feng Yuan waved his hand dismissively, unlike regular cities, and even tourist cities may not have as many hotels and inns as Linqiu City, since there are several periods of surge every year.

Moreover, most of the visitors were attracted by the resources in the Serene Forest Sea, not intending to linger in the city, so Feng Yuan and his companions were not worried about finding accommodation.

Veronia twirled her parasol and said,

"I’m not going with you guys. Having rested on the ship, I’ll wander around the city now～"

Though Veronia was fighting alongside Feng Yuan and the others before, once in the cabin, she stopped dealing with the bugs, even reverting to her original form and had a nap onboard.

Feng Yuan didn’t say much about it, only suggesting she keep in touch, avoiding both sides frantically searching for each other later.

Casually finding an inn, Feng Yuan and the others slept straight till afternoon.

Stretching leisurely, Feng Yuan rubbed his eyes, waking the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and Xiao Ji lying beside him, taking them outside.

Precisely due to Linqiu City’s uniqueness, there were fresh meals available 24 hours, and Feng Yuan, unwilling to wander around, directly ordered some dessert to fill his stomach.

Coming to Linqiu City was solely to wander the city, with no intention of entering the Serene Forest Sea, thus according to Feng Yuan’s plans, next destination was Linqiu City’s Marketplace District.

There, Linqiu City allowed personal stall applications, after paying a service fee, allowing people to set up stalls selling resources collected from the Serene Forest Sea.

Similarly, thanks to its rich specialty resources, the Marketplace District had permanent specialty snack shops utilizing materials from the Serene Forest Sea.

Unlike regular snack shops, their ingredient sources were locally sourced directly from the Marketplace District, which is why their menu often changed, even mostly limited.

Since even they couldn’t control what raw materials were sold daily in the Marketplace District.

Adaptability is a major feature of the Marketplace District’s food stalls, also being a featured attraction of Linqiu City.

In the community of Spiritual Medicine Chefs known for their cooking skills, claiming proficiency without attempting a month-long stint in Linqiu City’s Marketplace District with high ratings would be met with skepticism by industry insiders.

Spiritual Medicine Chefs differ from ordinary chefs, their primary skill lies in maximizing medicinal efficiency while ensuring delicious taste, requiring high adaptability.

Otherwise, brandishing an ancient recipe claiming prowess while failing due to inability to gather necessary medicinal materials would be nonsensical.

For Spiritual Medicine Chefs, showcasing ability lies in utilizing available materials to create food with the best effects and decent taste.

Hence, intense competition exists among the specialty snack shops in the Marketplace District, with a high standard maintained.

With Serene Forest Sea at their back, there are ample materials and opportunities to explore their ideas, yet those lacking skill generally dare not embarrass themselves by coming to the Marketplace District.

As Feng Yuan was enjoying the dessert provided by the inn, Long Boduo arrived, curiously asking about the dessert on Feng Yuan’s table

"How are these?"

"Just so-so, filling the belly, we’ll eat to our heart’s content at the Marketplace District later, now... having skipped breakfast, am still a bit hungry."

Casually commenting, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound. Compared to Xiao Ji, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound welcomed any food without discrimination; for it, eating to fullness was already a good thing, far from demanding flavor like Xiao Ji.

For now, it was far from this stage, given its relatively brief time with Feng Yuan.

Perhaps only when the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound realizes it won’t starve will it start being picky about food.

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s response, Long Boduo hesitated briefly before ordering some desserts randomly, saying

"Aside from exploring the Marketplace District, haven’t you thought about venturing into the Serene Forest Sea?"

"Of course not, why bother going there? For Xiao Ji and them, it hardly serves as training; for Qi Chen and the others... utilizing Crystal Domain coupled with Mythical Transformation, while feasible, is pointless, the strength disparity is too big, under such circumstances, relying solely on external power holds no training value."

Scratching his head, Long Boduo chuckled and said,

"I thought you’d say since you’re already here, why not take a look～"

Rolling eyes, Feng Yuan replied helplessly,

"Not necessarily, the abundance of resources inside the Serene Forest Sea doesn’t benefit me, especially after the recent circulatory anomaly, the resources are not guaranteed to be plentiful."

"Rather than seeking trouble in there, it’s better to enjoy more good food in Linqiu City."

With a slight smile, Feng Yuan said, gazing towards Tamur and Agunas as they floated over.
