Forest Guardian: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Beast Tamer

After Chen Yuan asked about the cause of the conflict between the two major groups, the Storm Cloud Sparrow leader aggressively summoned a Storm Cloud Sparrow cub.

This Storm Cloud Sparrow cub flew from a tree, its flight unsteady, as if it were drunk.

Upon closer inspection, its grey-black wings had several obvious scars.

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

As soon as the Storm Cloud Sparrow cub appeared, it glared angrily at the fledgling owls opposite it, constantly flapping its wings.

After Spark's translation, Chen Yuan finally understood the point of conflict between the two major groups.

It turned out that this Storm Cloud Sparrow cub had strayed into the fledgling owls' habitat and was driven away by the fledgling owls using [Wind Whisper Alert], causing it to fall off a cliff and get injured, which led to a conflict between the two major groups.

Even if some fledgling owls were irritable and did such a thing, it should not have escalated into a clan fight.

“Chirp woo!!!”

Sure enough, hearing the Storm Cloud Sparrow cub's description, several fledgling owls couldn't help but flap their wings vigorously, stirring up gusts of wind.

“Woof woof!”

Seeing the two major groups at each other's throats, Kele jumped excitedly.

Fight, fight!

Chen Yuan held down the excited dog's head, his bright eyes staring directly at the group of fledgling owls, and said, “What do you want to say?”

“Chirp woo chirp woo!”

Each fledgling owl seemed to want to speak out in rebuttal, but they saw the fledgling owl leader spread its short wings, its eyes deep.

According to the fledgling owl leader, the place where they live grows silver pines, and the silver pines can bear silver pine fruits, which are the core material for building nests, can be waterproof and insect-proof, and can also be used as the first food for young birds.

However, silver pines only grow on cliffs and are scarce.

Chen Yuan immediately recalled the relevant information about the silver pine fruit. This fruit is a first-level resource. The pulp can be eaten, and the peel can be waterproof and insect-proof.

And some time ago, a Storm Cloud Sparrow would occasionally break into their habitat and harvest silver pine fruits with [Wind Blade].

The fledgling owls originally wanted to be amiable and avoid fighting, but the Storm Cloud Sparrows became more and more rampant, coming more and more frequently.

Until a Storm Cloud Sparrow cub also tried to snatch the silver pine fruit, they finally couldn't bear it anymore, so they used [Wind Whisper Alert] to drive it away.

“Chirp woo!!!”

The mild-tempered fledgling owls became angry, vibrating their downy feathers and launching bursts of ultrasonic waves, as if they would attack in the next second.

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

The Storm Cloud Sparrows refused to be outdone, and under the leadership of their leader, they flapped their wings sharply, and the wind blew with them.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly: “Spark.”

“Chirp!”

The faint blue eyes scanned left and right, and the strong sense of oppression made all the Storm Cloud Sparrows and fledgling owls suffocate, and the tense atmosphere of confrontation disappeared.

“Continue,” Chen Yuan said.

The leaders of the two major groups glared at each other and recounted what had happened during this period.

After the Storm Cloud Sparrow cub was injured, the Storm Cloud Sparrow group launched a large-scale attack, and the fledgling owl group was forced to fight back.

The next thing was very simple. The Storm Cloud Sparrow group would occasionally run to the fledgling owls' habitat for a stroll, and the fledgling owl group would come to find trouble with the Storm Cloud Sparrows every two days.

In this way, the Storm Cloud Sparrows naturally had no time to be vigilant about the surrounding environment of Xuanhe Village for Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and asked the core question of the whole incident: “Why did you go to snatch the silver pine fruit from the fledgling owls?”

If he remembered correctly, the main food of the Storm Cloud Sparrow is the first-level resource Wind Riding Millet, and there is a lot of this stuff growing nearby, so there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

However, the Storm Cloud Sparrow's answer was beyond Chen Yuan's expectations.

“The Wind Riding Millet is gone?”

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

The Storm Cloud Sparrow leader flapped its wings, seriously answering Chen Yuan's question.

Some time ago, there was less and less Wind Riding Millet nearby. In order to survive as a group, they had to look for alternative food, so they set their sights on the silver pine fruit in the fledgling owls' territory.

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully: “Sure enough, the struggle between pet beast groups is either because of territory or because of food.”

“But why is there less and less Wind Riding Millet?”

“This may be the key to resolving the conflict between the two major groups.”

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan decided to investigate the reason why the Wind Riding Millet was decreasing.

Otherwise, these two major groups will continue to fight for a long time.

“Take me over to take a look,” Chen Yuan looked at the Storm Cloud Sparrow leader.

“Chirp!”

The Storm Cloud Sparrow leader's eyes showed joy, and it couldn't wait to take Chen Yuan to the place where the Wind Riding Millet grew.

“Don't worry,” Chen Yuan said, then looked at the fledgling owls circling in the air, and said in a deep voice, “You go back first, I will help solve this matter.”

After a slight pause, he added: “Don't worry, I won't favor any side.”

As a forest ranger, he would not have obvious tendencies. If the Storm Cloud Sparrow had a reason, then sit down and solve it properly.

If the Storm Cloud Sparrow was more at fault, then let these guys apologize properly.

The fledgling owl leader lowered its eyes, its gaze falling on Chen Yuan, and suddenly saw the Twin Flower Concubine sitting on his shoulder.

“Yin yin~”

The Twin Flower Concubine waved her petal-shaped palm, and the passive effect of the pet beast succubus was activated at this moment.

“Chirp woo~”

The fledgling owl leader nodded slightly, then turned around and led a group of unwilling fledgling owls away from this place.

“Let's go.”

“Let's see why the Wind Riding Millet has become less.”

Before leaving, Chen Yuan didn't forget to use healing spray to heal the wounds on the Storm Cloud Sparrow cub.

At the same moment,

Huo Hong squinted his eyes and looked ahead. The Wind Riding Millet, which was more than one meter high, swayed in the wind, but the seeds on it were long gone.

“Azure Wolfhound, have you found anything?”

After taking a look, Huo Hong lowered his head and looked at the Azure Wolfhound beside him.

The Azure Wolfhound's body shape is between that of a Shiba Inu and a wolf. Its fur is cyan-gray and has moss-like patterns.

The ear tips are forked like young leaves, the tail hair is fluffy like ferns, and the emerald green nose twitches slightly, with clear leaf vein-like patterns on the surface.

The Azure Wolfhound lowered its head and sniffed the ground, tracking suspicious smells.

“I don’t know where that guy ran to,” Huo Hong murmured softly, staring ahead.

Some time ago, he received a mission issued by the Baokun City Beast Master Association—to drive away the Wind-Snatching Vole that was stealing food from the farmland in Nanhe Town.

After receiving the mission, Huo Hong relied on the Azure Wolfhound's keen sense of smell to find the Wind-Snatching Vole. After making sufficient preparations, he drove it away.

However, not long after, a research institute suddenly issued a bounty mission—requiring a second-level Wind-Snatching Vole for a scientific research mission.

As a bounty hunter, Huo Hong accepted this mission without hesitation.

At that time, he was still thanking this Wind-Snatching Vole for not only helping him complete the association mission, but also completing the bounty mission along the way.

Where can you find such a good thing that has both contribution points and money?

But he soon realized that he was happy too early.

After being driven away by him, this Wind-Snatching Vole quickly disappeared. It was not until after searching for several days that the Azure Wolfhound finally discovered the footprints it had left many days ago by relying on [Forest Tracing] that he chased all the way here.

Is this place full of Wind Riding Millet the Wind-Snatching Vole's new habitat?

"Tsk, that guy must have eaten all these Zephyr Millet seeds." Huo Hong squatted down, carefully examining the Zephyr Millet seeds scattered on the ground.

The Zephyr Millet seeds' husks have barbs, allowing them to attach to animal fur for propagation, so many bird-type pet beasts get their beaks caught when eating them.

But the Gale Rat has hard teeth and can easily crush the barbs before swallowing them whole.

These Zephyr Millet seeds are the best food for the Gale Rat.

"Woof!"

The bark of the Azure Hound brought Huo Hong back to his senses, and he looked delighted: "Did you find it?"

"Woof woof."

The Azure Hound barked twice in succession, then strode forward, leading Huo Hong to where the Gale Rat's scent appeared.

Passing through the Zephyr Millet, after a few minutes, Huo Hong saw a slender figure in the distance, lying on the ground, chewing Zephyr Millet voraciously.

Read error-free first editions at Yikankan!

The Gale Rat's fur is sandy yellow, and its back has streamlined scales.

The spiral drill of its forelimbs gleamed coldly, the forked end of its tail resembled fan blades, and the elastic pouches on its cheeks were bulging, obviously storing the stolen Zephyr Millet.

The corners of Huo Hong's mouth slightly lifted: "Finally found you."

He crouched down and winked at the Azure Hound, whose moss-like纹路 on its body assimilated with the surrounding Zephyr Millet, entering a state of concealment like a chameleon.

If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see the Azure Hound at all.

Wood-type skill, Leaf Concealment.

It was with this skill that Huo Hong was able to complete tasks ahead of many Beast Tamers.

The Azure Hound walked lightly towards the Gale Rat, its body compressing the Zephyr Millet, making slight noises, but it wasn't noticed by the Gale Rat.

Twenty meters.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

The Azure Hound suddenly stopped, leaped over the meter-high Zephyr Millet, and quietly stared at the Gale Rat directly in front.

If it continued to approach, it was likely to be discovered by the Gale Rat.

Seeing this, Huo Hong issued a command through telepathy: "Azure Vine Bind."

In that instant, the Azure Hound swung its tail, releasing two green vines, which swooshed towards the eating Gale Rat, trying to entangle it.

The Gale Rat looked up blankly, and when it saw the Azure Vines whistling and trying to wrap around it from both sides, it was furious.

After the great anger, the scene of being entangled by the Azure Vines appeared in his mind, and the anger in his heart suddenly vanished.

Dark eyes flickered, and the spiral forelimbs suddenly waved, and a cold light flashed, unexpectedly cutting off the Azure Vines in an instant.

At this time, Huo Hong ran over quickly, his thoughts flashing: "Continue."

The Azure Hound suddenly jumped out, its bluish-gray figure swept aside the wind on both sides, and once again swung its tail to release the Azure Vines, whistling towards it.

The Gale Rat quickly threw away the Zephyr Millet and directly used its spiral drill to dig a hole, and the high-speed rotating forelimbs immediately caused a small whirlwind, with spiral-shaped sand and dust spewing from the hole.

The sand and dust flew, obscuring the Azure Hound's vision, and instantly lost its target.

When the sand and dust dissipated, the Gale Rat's figure had disappeared.

"Woof woof!"

The Azure Hound ran quickly to the burrow, looked down, and could only see the dark hole, without a trace of the Gale Rat.

"The speed of digging has become faster."

Huo Hong frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.

The digging speed of this Gale Rat was not so fast some time ago, and it was caught by the Azure Hound with the Azure Vines the moment it dug.

But at this moment, the Azure Hound's Azure Vines actually missed.

"Be careful."

As a qualified bounty hunter, Huo Hong knew that he should treat every pet beast with caution, even the seemingly unremarkable and harmless Doudou Chicken.

If you anger the Doudou Chicken, it may teach you how to be a human with a Doudou Impact.

"Woof"

The Azure Hound tensed its body, clamped its fluffy tail, its dark green eyes looked around, and its emerald nose twitched gently, constantly tracking the scent of the Gale Rat.

For a time, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, with only the rustling sound of the Zephyr Millet being blown by the breeze.

Thump!

However, the next moment, the ground under the Azure Hound's feet suddenly collapsed, as if swallowed by a giant mouth, and the soil fell downward.

"Woof!"

The Azure Hound leaped up, trying to escape from this place.

But the Gale Rat launched its attack faster and more violently, its forelimbs wrapped in a sharp white light, and the moment it sprang out, it waved its forelimbs high, accurately hitting the Azure Hound's tail!

"Woof!"

With a shrill sound, the Azure Hound's tail was severely injured, and it fell heavily to the ground.

However, the usual training played a role, and the Azure Hound endured the pain, quickly got up, and tried to launch a counterattack, but could only see the churning sand and dust.

The Gale Rat chose to dig into the ground again to find an opportunity to launch a second sneak attack.

Huo Hong's face became ugly: "This Gale Rat has become so much stronger."

The last time he fought the Gale Rat, it did not show such excellent combat qualities, and it fled in panic after only a moment of fighting.

But at this time, the Gale Rat seemed to have received careful guidance from a Beast Tamer, and its overall combat power had advanced by leaps and bounds, and it could also make full use of its burrowing advantage, putting the Azure Hound at a disadvantage.

The originally careless Huo Hong instantly became serious, he first put a mental shield on himself, and then comforted the Azure Hound: "We can't rush, we must pay attention to the movement under our feet."

"The moment the ground collapses, jump up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Azure Hound immediately noticed the ground under its feet trembling slightly, and without much thought, it suddenly jumped forward.

Boom!

The ground just now instantly collapsed, sand and dust flew, and the Azure Hound landed on the ground on the other side, secretly relieved.

But when the Azure Hound relaxed its vigilance, the ground under its feet rumbled and sank down again, and a figure窜出 with it, and a swift attack hit its waist!

"Woof!"

Suffering pain again, the Azure Hound's body flew backward uncontrollably for several meters, and with a "thump", it fell heavily to the ground.

The sand and dust flew, and the Gale Rat's figure disappeared again.

Huo Hong was shocked: "This this this"

Is this still the silly and clumsy Gale Rat from before?

This is not right!

Very wrong!

This confrontation completely played the Azure Hound in the palm of its hand, and the latter had no power to resist.

Is it that this Gale Rat has progressed too fast, or is he and the Azure Hound standing still?

Without much thought, Huo Hong quickly ran to the Azure Hound, squatted down, and asked anxiously: "Azure Hound, are you okay?"

The Azure Hound's fur was messy, its breath was weak, and it lowered its head without responding.

"Are you okay?" Huo Hong asked again.

"Woof woof!"

The next moment, a dog bark sounded in his ears, but Huo Hong clearly heard that it was not the Azure Hound's bark.

This.

He looked up blankly, and the glaring sunlight poured down.

Huo Hong couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a figure gradually appeared in front of him.

A majestic Condor Hound was striding forward.
