Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

This is the sound of the Puppy Team!

The Puppy Team is looking for it!

Cola quickly got up, ready to dash outside, but was caught by the tail by the expressionless Chen Yuan: “Don’t just run whenever you hear a sound.”

“Stay here, I’ll go check it out.”

“Awo…..”

Cola responded pitifully, then lowered its body, its blue eyes blankly watching Chen Yuan leave.

At the farm gate, Chen Yuan indeed saw a group of Puppy Team members.

There were also two Violent Cloud Sparrows circling in the air.

Iron Head stopped them all.

Chen Yuan asked, “Are you here looking for Cola?”

“Woof woof woof!”

Through Spark’s translation, Chen Yuan then realized they were not only looking for Cola but also for the other members of the adventure team and himself.

“You mean the Pet Beasts rescued yesterday want to thank us?”

“So they invited us to the mountains for a gathering to thank us in person?” Chen Yuan looked at the two Violent Cloud Sparrows in the sky with a peculiar expression.

He thought for a long time but couldn’t believe that was the reason.

Half an hour ago, a wild Pet Beast approached Xuanhe Village and was stopped by the Puppy Team.

After explaining the reason, the Puppy Team found the Violent Cloud Sparrows and brought them to the farm to convey the wild Pet Beasts’ intention—they wanted to invite the adventure team and Chen Yuan to a gratitude gathering.

Chen Yuan, resting his chin on his hand, pondered: “I need to ask them for their thoughts.”

This group of wild Pet Beasts is quite considerate, inviting guests and thanking them in person, which is much better than many indifferent people.

Telling this to the little ones, the Electric Flying Cat was the first to raise its paw, responding enthusiastically: “Dian Dian!”

The Electric Flying Cat wants to go!

“Quack quack~”

Run Run Duck thought about it carefully, but when it saw the cartoon on TV, it shook its head.

Just sounds boring, quack.

Chen Yuan suddenly said, “There might be tree fruits, maybe even some Spirit Fish.”

“Quack quack!”

Run Run Duck immediately jumped off its small stool, reached out with its wings to tug on Chen Yuan’s sleeve, blinking its eyes.

Then let’s head out quickly.

Chen Yuan smiled without a word, turned his head to the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast.

“Roar…..”

The honest and simple Fallen Meteor Horned Beast didn’t express an opinion.

I’m just listening to you guys.

Finally, Chen Yuan looked at Cola.

“Awo…..”

Sensing Chen Yuan’s gaze, Cola seemed eager to move, its head slowly rising, tail seemingly about to wag, ready to charge out of the yard.

But when Cola saw the shining phone screen and remembered the owner’s sincere hopes for it, Cola gritted its teeth and buried its head abruptly, trying to merge with the phone.

“If you want to go, just go. No need to rush with the driving test.”

At this moment, a gentle voice quietly sounded by its ear, and Cola looked up incredulously at Chen Yuan.

“Awo awo~”

The next moment, Cola lunged at Chen Yuan.

Moments later,

Chen Yuan was riding the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, setting off with Cola, Run Run Duck, Electric Flying Cat, Twin Flower Concubine, and two Violent Cloud Sparrows.

Spark was left by Chen Yuan to watch the house.

Not far away, they saw the wild Pet Beast mentioned by the Puppy Team, a small and adorable Water-Walking Cat.

Because of its cute appearance, the Water-Walking Cat had also been captured by poachers, only managing to escape alive last night.

“Meow~”

The Water-Walking Cat walked ahead, occasionally looking back at Chen Yuan and the other Pet Beasts, indicating them to follow.

With the Water-Walking Cat leading, Chen Yuan and the little ones trekked over mountains and ridges, eventually reaching their destination two hours later.

This was a lush forest, golden leaves covering the flat ground, with silhouettes of various Pet Beasts gradually emerging.

Each Pet Beast had a different form, but they all shared one common trait—being adorable in appearance.

Any of these Pet Beasts could fetch a good price outside, no wonder the poaching team took the risk.

But Chen Yuan also spotted two familiar figures.

“What are you two doing here?”

Chen Yuan spotted the Flame-tailed Fox and the Ice Fox among the group of Pet Beasts, indulging themselves.

“Ying?”

The two little ones looked up in confusion, juice from the tree fruits still on the corners of their mouths, their expressions puzzled and adorably dazed.

But upon seeing Chen Yuan’s figure, they exchanged glances and immediately leaped into his arms from either side.

Not bad, not bad.

The Flame-tailed Fox’s action was within Chen Yuan’s expectations, but he hadn’t anticipated the usually aloof Ice Fox would react the same way.

“It seems that even the coldest Pet Beasts can be trained to be affectionate.” Chen Yuan mused.

His thoughts shifted, and Chen Yuan asked, “Why are you here?”

This place is some distance from the Blazing Fruit Tree.

“Ying~”

The Flame-tailed Fox curled up in Chen Yuan’s arms, its fluffy, fiery red tail like a flickering flame, its narrow eyes quietly gazing at him.

It turned out the two little ones knew some Pet Beasts around here and learned about the big gathering today, so they eagerly scampered over.

Among the captured Pet Beasts, quite a few were fox-type Pet Beasts, so it wasn’t surprising that the Flame-tailed Fox knew them.

But as Chen Yuan recalled the last encounter at Crescent Lake, he suspiciously glanced at the Flame-tailed Fox, “You’re not just spending your days hunting for gatherings to freeload, are you?”

“Ying ying ying!”

Upon hearing this, the Flame-tailed Fox widened its eyes, waved its paw, and became furious.

What do you mean by freeloading!

Suddenly,

Several Wood Spirit Rats formed a neat line, their soft and large tails gently swaying, bringing over tree fruits washed with dew.

The little ones accepted the fruits unceremoniously, and Chen Yuan nodded slightly, “Thank you.”

The Wood Spirit Rats didn’t forget the Twin Flower Concubine, specifically handing over a pocket-sized small tree fruit, which she could hold with her hand.

“Yin yin~”

The Twin Flower Concubine nodded to the Wood Spirit Rats in acknowledgment, and they seemed instantly entranced as if hit by a Charm Technique, their eyes gleaming, bodies straightened, and they gazed dumbly at the long-haired Twin Flower Concubine.

Sigh, caught by the Forest Enchantress again.

“Advisor Chen, we’re here.”

A cheerful voice came from not far away, and Yang Yue and Li Qing soon appeared in front of Chen Yuan.

After last night’s events were over, Yang Yue and Li Qing chose to stay in the mountains for more training while also searching for their second Pet Beast.

“What do you think of our idea?” Yang Yue pointed at the group of wild Pet Beasts, slightly tilting her head, “They wanted to express their gratitude to us but didn’t know how, so I came up with this idea.”

“Having a gathering in the forest sounds quite fun.”

Chen Yuan chuckled, “So that’s what it is.”

He wondered how this group of wild Pet Beasts thought of inviting them to a gathering, and these Wood Spirit Rats even put on a welcoming stance – there was an expert behind it all.

Chen Yuan smiled, “Have you found a suitable second Pet Beast?”

Yang Yue gave a light smile, “Of course.”

Pausing for a moment, she said, “Leafy Fox, appear.”

As she spoke, the Leafy Fox and the Cloud Fox both emerged slowly from behind her, their small frames very noticeable.

All were very adorable Pet Beasts, but they didn’t seem to be related to combat power.

Chen Yuan contemplated, “Are you aiming to become a Beastmaster specialized in fox-type Pet Beasts?”

If the Beastmaster Association were to hold a beauty contest in the future, Yang Yue might just win the championship.

Yang Yue crouched down, gazing at the nearby Leafy Fox, her face blossoming with a smile, “I have a pretty special bond with this little one.”

“After it got injured, I was the first Beastmaster it encountered, and by sheer luck, it led us to find those scoundrels; perhaps it’s destiny in the making.”

“I don’t want to miss this bond.”

“Ying~”

The Leafy Fox wrapped its tail around Yang Yue’s arm, affectionately rubbing her palm, letting out a tender cry.

Chen Yuan looked at the intimate interaction between the person and the Pet, remarking, “The encounters between humans and Pet Beasts are truly wonderful, huh.”

“Indeed.” Yang Yue nodded in strong agreement.

After this moment of reflection, a few Wood Spirit Rats came over again to offer tree fruits to Yang Yue and Li Qing. Chen Yuan pondered and softly murmured, “But such wonderful bonds should be something you can actively create.”

“Advisor Chen, what did you say?” Yang Yue was taken aback.

Chen Yuan had a bright smile on his face, “Nothing.”

Then, he looked over at the Twin Flower Concubine on his shoulder and softly said, “The target has appeared.”

“The task of abducting these Wood Spirit Rats is yours.”
