Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

“Advisor Chen has already arrived.”

When these words came from Li Qing’s mouth, both the masked man and the burly man slightly changed their expressions and stared closely in the direction where the Gale Hunting Dog appeared.

Suddenly, a massive figure pushed through the dense foliage, revealing a tall, sturdy silhouette and explosive limbs, with translucent white whiskers fluttering in the wind, and the gigantic horns like those of a wild ox catching everyone’s attention.

“Fallen Meteor Horned Beast…”

The masked man’s eyes sparkled as he stared intently at the majestic Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, like a collector seeing a priceless artifact.

As a poacher of pet beasts, he naturally knew about this Earth-type pet beast that only resides in the Qinling, whose value in the black market has skyrocketed to astronomical heights.

But their goal this trip was small-sized, easy-to-transport, cute pet beasts; the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast wasn’t within their range for capture.

Yet unexpectedly, an extremely rare Fallen Meteor Horned Beast had delivered itself to them.

“Quack quack quack~”

The sound of the Run Run Duck forcibly pulled the masked man’s drifting thoughts back. He slightly raised his eyes and saw a Run Run Duck sitting on the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast’s back in the backlight.

The masked man only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

The Run Run Duck, just a common sight.

No one would like such a lazy and average-looking pet beast.

“Chirp chirp~”

A Violent Cloud Sparrow swept across the sky, suddenly folding its wings and diving towards the Leader of the Violent Cloud Sparrow.

This was the Violent Cloud Sparrow that had gone back earlier to report.

“Chirp chirp chirp~”

Landed beside the Leader of the Violent Cloud Sparrow, the Violent Cloud Sparrow chirped non-stop.

It turns out that on its way back, it met the Juvenile Owl who was helping to find the poachers. After the Juvenile Owl introduced it, it met the adventure team led by Cola.

The two sides instantly hit it off. The Violent Cloud Sparrow turned around, Cola tracked the scent, and followed all the way to here.

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

The Leader of the Violent Cloud Sparrow glared hard at the Violent Cloud Sparrow, then extended its wing to point at the masked man and the burly man, with eyes full of anger.

Call the flock over!

I want to destroy them!!!

“What about Advisor Chen?” Yang Yue was more concerned about this issue.

The leaves rustled, but no one answered this question.

At this moment,

Chen Yuan lifted his eyes to the gradually dimming sky and softly mumbled, “Time to go home.”

Just a moment ago, a notification sounded in his mind that he had defeated a Tier Two pet beast and gained Source Point, Chen Yuan guessed that it was probably Cola again teasing the outsider beastmasters at the village entrance.

Having been focused on recording the nearby environment, he was just waking up to realize it would soon be dark, and it was time to descend the mountain.

“Let’s go.”

As the words fell, the Twin Flower Concubine, who was playing with wild pet beasts, returned to his side, while Spark let out a long cry, spread its wings, and soared into the sky.

Just then, at the edge of his sight, a familiar figure abruptly appeared, accompanied by thunderous hoofbeats — Piggy Knight Zhang Hao riding the Gray-armored Wild Boar came charging towards him.

“Yuan, Yuan, finally found you!” From afar, Zhang Hao raised his hand and shouted.

Chen Yuan’s brows furrowed: “What’s happened?”

Zhang Hao running all the way to the mountain to find him was not good news.

Zhang Hao began speaking at lightning speed, “Pet… pet beast poachers!”

“There’s evidence of pet beast poachers in Anchang Village, and your Cola led the Electric Flying Cat, Run Run Duck, and Fallen Meteor Horned Beast off to find them.”

Chen Yuan: “?”

He knew, once he left the farm, these guys sticking together would surely spell trouble, likely with some mischief-maker among them.

It was rare to see the Run Run Duck taking action with them.

“Know the location?” He quickly asked, his thoughts flashing.

“The poacher in Anchang Village has already been captured by Investigation Department members. After interrogation, they learned he had three accomplices.” Zhang Hao replied.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Due to Qinling’s paramount status in Donghuang, all exits and key areas not only have beastmaster offices but also forest rangers and Investigation Department members constantly patrolling.

“According to the testimony, their leader is called Viper Fang, who has two pet beasts, one is the Hammer Beast, and the other is the Bone-breaking War Mastiff, both currently Tier Two strength.”

“After checking the records, Investigation Department members found Viper Fang once worked as a construction laborer in the Tibetan Area, and since awakening as a beastmaster, he has become arrogant and aggressive, repeatedly clashing with other workers, and quit his job a month ago.”

“Viper Fang is ruthless, bringing them to Qinling two weeks ago. After on-site research, they chose the remote Anchang Village as a temporary base.”

“The captured man was tasked with staying at the base to communicate with middlemen, while Viper Fang led the other two into Qinling to capture pet beasts.”

“This time, their capture target is small-sized, cute pet beasts in high demand on the market, capable of fetching a good price.”

Chen Yuan’s eyes slightly flashed, he listened silently and then abruptly asked, “Know their location in Qinling?”

“The man confessed, from Anchang Village heading south for ten kilometers one would see a rundown wooden house.”

“That’s the hideout of Viper Fang and his two companions in the mountains.”

Chen Yuan’s eyes brightened: “Is it that already abandoned forest ranger cabin?”

“Hehe, Yuan is thinking the same as me.” Zhang Hao laughed, “It should be there.”

Many places in Qinling are equipped with forest ranger cabins, which typically house essential living supplies, not only serving as shelter during forest patrols but also providing light and warmth to many mountain inhabitants.

As society rapidly developed, villagers relying on mountain resources dwindled, leading to the abandonment of many forest ranger cabins.

When Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao first started out, they had heard from the veterans in the unit about this long abandoned forest ranger cabin.
