Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

“… indeed.” Yang Yue reluctantly nodded.

“Ying…”

While the two talked, the ears of the Cloud Fox quivered slightly, and suddenly it looked up at a nearby shrubbery.

Tilting its head and staring for a moment, the Cloud Fox set its legs in motion, walking slowly towards the bushes.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes, and a small Pet Beast appeared in their view.

It was a fox-type Pet Beast, its entire body covered in moss-like soft light green fur, with ears and tail tips gradually transitioning to a cherry pink, as if stained with freshly blooming petals.

Its round eyes were like amber glass, with three golden leaf patterns adorning the end of its eyes, the pink nose resembled a berry, and its three fluffy tails looked like young fern sprouts, with a glowing bud hidden at their tips.

The two exchanged a glance: “Leafy Fox!”

The Wood-type Pet Beast, Leafy Fox, usually inhabits the valleys and streams where Ancient Wood Forest covers and Spirit Plants Thrive.

Leafy Fox is skilled in healing skills, known as the Jungle Doctor, and tends to live with many Pet Beasts.

However… this particular Leafy Fox was not in good shape; its light green fur was stained with traces of blood, its body swaying, seemingly about to collapse in the next moment, letting out a weak cry: “Ying.”

Hearing the delicate voice of the Leafy Fox, Yang Yue felt her heart melt instantly. She quickly stepped forward to catch the Leafy Fox on the verge of collapsing, then took out a Healing Spray to treat its wounds: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, after the spray it won’t hurt anymore.”

The so-called doctor unable to heal oneself seems to be this case exactly.

Despite mastering healing skills, injuries remained on its body.

The slight coolness of the spray alleviated the pain of the wounds. The Leafy Fox lay quietly in Yang Yue’s arms, softly whimpering, as its vitality visibly started to recover.

After a while, the Leafy Fox regained some ability to move.

The Leafy Fox carefully stood up, circled around the Cloud Fox once, the leaf patterns in its eyes flickering, its tail quietly raising.

“Ying Ying~”

The Cloud Fox’s tail entwined with that of the Leafy Fox, the little creatures rubbing their cheeks against each other.

This was a unique greeting among fox-type Pet Beasts.

The Cloud Fox was able to detect the Leafy Fox from afar due to sensing the scent of its kind.

“Little one, how did you get injured?”

Yang Yue crouched down, reaching out to stroke the head of the Leafy Fox.

The Leafy Fox instinctively wanted to evade, but suddenly remembered that Yang Yue was its savior, so it obediently stood still.

However, the Leafy Fox soon recalled an important matter, shook its head to free itself from Yang Yue’s right hand, and swiftly turned to face the Cloud Fox, emitting urgent cries: “Ying Ying Ying!”

“Ying?”

“Ying Ying Ying!”

“Ying…”

Yang Yue, sharing a mental link with the Cloud Fox, quickly understood the Leafy Fox’s meaning, which indicated that two despicable humans had intruded into its home and taken away its companions.

It managed to escape by sheer luck, but got injured in the process, hiding all the way to this place.

“Damn poachers…” Upon hearing this, Yang Yue’s anger surged, her fury nearly erupting.

Li Qing placed a hand on Yang Yue’s shoulder, lowering her gaze to the Leafy Fox: “Do you know where they are?”

“Ying Ying.”

The Leafy Fox nodded repeatedly, then opened its mouth, revealing two cute little canines, and bit onto Yang Yue’s trouser leg, tugging her forcefully forward.

Yang Yue took a deep breath, gently stroking the Leafy Fox’s smooth fur, speaking in a deep voice: “Don’t worry, I’ll help you rescue them.”

Yang Yue didn’t think of herself as someone capable of taking on such responsibility.

But at this moment, she wanted to do something, at least catch those two bastards.

“Ying Ying~”

Meeting Yang Yue’s earnest gaze, the Leafy Fox froze slightly, then its fluffy three tails casually wrapped around Yang Yue’s arm.

“Ying?”

Seeing this scene, the Cloud Fox froze in place, an inexplicable sense of urgency welling up within it.

An hour later,

The dense foliage was parted, revealing several figures. Yang Yue and Li Qing’s gaze leapt past the towering trees, catching sight of a distant small wooden cabin.

This small wooden cabin was very dilapidated, the wooden walls were overgrown with greenery, and the decaying door exuded an aura of decay.

In the small clearing right in front of the cabin, several iron cages were set, each containing a Pet Beast.

Due to being too far away, they couldn’t clearly see what kind of Pet Beasts were inside.

But one thing was certain—this was the poachers’ hideout!

This place was very secluded; without the Leafy Fox leading the way, they could have never found it.

But in such a secluded place, why was there a wooden cabin?

But now was not the time to dwell on this; Yang Yue clenched her fists, murmuring softly: “Qingqing, what do we do now?”

“Wait for Advisor Chen.” Li Qing concisely replied.

“…Okay.”

Yang Yue ultimately restrained her inner impulses.

However, at this moment, a shadow suddenly darted out from the treetop, flapping a pair of jet-black wings. Scarlet eyes glared at the two hiding in the dense foliage, letting out a low and hoarse voice: “Yiya~”

Shadow Owl, a Dark-type Pet Beast.

The two exchanged a glance, immediately sensing something wrong.

The Leader of the Violent Cloud Sparrow reacted first; it would never allow any other bird-type Pet Beasts to show off in front of it, violently flapping its wings, sending out tangible Wind Blades in sweeping waves.

“Yiya.”

The hoarse voice echoed, and the Shadow Owl gracefully dodged the attack of the Leader of the Violent Cloud Sparrow.

Just then, a deep voice rumbled in their ears like thunder, bombarding their minds: “Two little girls trying to play heroes, huh?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just stay home binge-watching shows or going shopping?”

Yang Yue’s willow eyebrows arched as she turned towards the voice, only to meet a pair of glowing round eyes. Instantly, an overwhelming sleepiness surged, taking over her mind.
