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

"Chen Gu asked has arrived."

As these words came from Li Qing's mouth, both the masked man and the strong man's expressions changed slightly, their eyes fixed on the direction where the Condensing Wind Hound appeared.

Suddenly, a massive figure pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, revealing a tall and upright outline, as well as limbs full of explosive power, semi-transparent white whiskers fluttering in the wind, and huge, bull-like horns that were eye-catching.

"Fallen Meteor Horned Beast."

The masked man's eyes gleamed, staring intently at this majestic Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, as if a collector had seen a priceless treasure.

As a pet beast poacher, he was of course aware of this earth-type pet beast that only inhabited the Qinling Mountains, the value of which had soared to an astronomical price on the black market.

However, their goal for this trip was cute-type pet beasts that were small and easy to transport, and the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast was not within the scope of their capture.

But unexpectedly, an extremely rare Fallen Meteor Horned Beast had actually delivered itself to their doorstep.

"Ga Ga Ga ~"

Runrun Duck's voice forcibly pulled back the masked man's wandering thoughts, and he slightly raised his eyes to see a Runrun Duck sitting on the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast against the backlight.

The masked man only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.

Runrun Duck, just a common, worthless thing.

No one would like this kind of pet beast that is lazy and gluttonous, and also has very average looks.

"Chirp chirp ~"

A Storm Cloud Finch swept across the sky, suddenly folded its wings, and swooped down towards the Storm Cloud Finch leader.

This was precisely the Storm Cloud Finch that had gone back to report the news earlier.

"Chirp chirp chirp ~"

Landing next to the Storm Cloud Finch leader, the Storm Cloud Finch chirped incessantly.

It turned out that on its way back, it had encountered the fledgling Owl looking for poachers, and after the fledgling Owl introduced it, it had met the adventure team led by Kele.

The two sides hit it off, and the Storm Cloud Finch turned around, Kele tracked the scent, and they tracked all the way here.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The Storm Cloud Finch leader glared fiercely at the Storm Cloud Finch, then stretched out its wings and pointed at the masked man and the strong man, its eyes full of anger.

Call the clan over!

I want to destroy them!!!

"Then where is Chen Gu asked?" Yang Yue was more concerned about this question.

The leaves rustled, and no one answered this question.

At this moment,

Chen Yuan raised his eyes to look at the gradually dimming sky, and muttered softly: "It's time to go home."

Just now, he had heard the prompt in his mind that he had obtained source points for defeating a second-tier pet beast, and Chen Yuan guessed that Kele was probably teasing the foreign pet beast masters at the entrance of the village again.

He had been concentrating on recording the surrounding environment before he woke up, and it would soon be dark, so it was time to go down the mountain.

"Let's go."

As soon as the words fell, the Twin Flower Concubine, who was playing with wild pet beasts, returned to his side, and Sparkle chirped and spread its wings, rushing into the air.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the end of his line of sight, accompanied by the rumbling sound of trampling on the ground, Piggy Knight Zhang Hao riding Gray Armor Mountain Pig rushed towards him.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, I finally found you!" Zhang Hao shouted from afar, raising his hand.

Chen Yuan frowned: "What happened?"

Zhang Hao had run all the way to the mountains to find him, which was not good news.

Chen Yuan: "?"

He knew that once he left the farm, these guys would get into trouble together, and there would most likely be an idea king.

It was just rare that Runrun Duck was actually acting with them.

"Do you know the location?" After a flash of thought, Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"The poacher in Anchang Village has been caught by members of the Special Affairs Department, and after interrogation, he has three accomplices." Zhang Hao replied.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Because Qinling's position in Donghuang was too important, not only were there pet beast master offices set up at various entrances and important areas, but there were also forest rangers and members of the Special Affairs Department patrolling at all times.

"According to that person's confession, the leader is called Viper Fang, and he has two pet beasts in his hand, one is a Rammed Earth Beast, and the other is a Bone Crusher War Mastiff, both of which are currently second-tier strength."

"After the members of the Special Affairs Department checked the information, they found that Viper Fang used to work as a construction worker in the Snow District. Since awakening and becoming a pet beast master, he has been arrogant and domineering, and has repeatedly clashed with other workers. He resigned from his job a month ago."

"Viper Fang is ruthless and brought them to Qinling two weeks ago. After conducting on-site research, he used the sparsely populated Anchang Village as a temporary base."

"The person who was caught was responsible for staying at the base and communicating with the middlemen, while Viper Fang took the other two to go deep into the Qinling Mountains to capture pet beasts."

"This time, their capture target is cute-type pet beasts that are small in size. These types of pet beasts are very popular in the market and can sell for a good price."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, he listened silently, and suddenly opened his mouth: "Do you know their location in Qinling?"

"That person confessed that going south from Anchang Village for about ten kilometers would lead to an old wooden house."

"This is where the Viper Fang trio are hiding in the mountains."

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed: "Isn't that the abandoned forest ranger's hut?"

"Hehe, Brother Yuan thought the same as me." Zhang Hao smiled, "It should be there."

Many places in Qinling have forest ranger huts built, which usually contain essential living supplies, which is not only a shelter for forest rangers when patrolling the mountains, but also provides light and warmth for many mountain people.

It's just that with the rapid development of society, there are gradually fewer villagers who rely on the mountains for a living, so many forest ranger huts have been abandoned.

When Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao first joined the job, they heard the old people in the unit mention this long-abandoned forest ranger's hut.

"Brother Yuan, what do you say now?" Zhang Hao, who was eager to try, looked at Chen Yuan.

"Aren't you afraid?" Chen Yuan suddenly opened his mouth.

"I'm not afraid of anything with you." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Chen Yuan frowned and silently took a few steps back: "Your words are too ambiguous, I suggest you go tell your girlfriend."

Zhang Hao quickly stepped forward, grinning: "Brother Yuan, I've already thought about it, when I catch the remaining three poachers, you help me take a photo with them."

"Then I'll post it at the entrance of the farmhouse, with a sentence - Qinling's guardian, Mr. Zhang Hao's enthusiastic recommendation for the farmhouse."

Chen Yuan silently raised his middle finger.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, don't let the people from the Special Affairs Department get ahead of us." Zhang Hao urged impatiently, "By the way, Brother Yuan, there are contribution value rewards for catching poachers."

Chen Yuan straightened his body: "Hmm?"

He was not very interested in contribution value, but as a conscientious forest ranger, it was his duty to catch pet beast poachers.

At the same time,

"Aooo ~"

Kele lowered his body, his tail swaying gently, surrounding the masked man and the strong man with the Electric Flying Cat, Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, and Runrun Duck.

After the Electric Flying Cat's sneak attack, Shadow Owl had already fallen into a coma, temporarily losing its ability to fight.

Although Star Weave Illusion Butterfly was injured in the fierce battle with Cloud Trace Fox, its condition was still good and it still had the stamina to fight.

The situation of the Freak Force Monkey and Black Flame Dog was similar, only suffering minor injuries.

But the movement here had already alarmed Viper Fang, who was walking towards the wooden house, and the Bone Crusher War Mastiff and Rammed Earth Beast beside him rushed over at an alarming speed.

"Aooo Aooo!"

The owner was not here, and Kele, the captain of the adventure team, took over the command and issued orders.

Defeat the guys here as quickly as possible!

With an order, the Electric Flying Cat took the lead in launching an attack, with electric light surging on its cheeks and yellow wings, instantly splitting out a dazzling electric light, reflected in the eyes of the Star Weave Illusion Butterfly.

The masked man's expression did not change, and he snapped his fingers again, his thoughts rising: "Return it."

The Star Weave Illusion Butterfly gently flapped its wings, the fluorescent orbs at the ends of its antennae flickered with faint light, and an invisible, surging mind wave spread outward, followed by a layer of hazy blue light covering the electric light.

The next moment, the electric light seemed to be grasped by a pair of invisible hands, and the attack reversed, splitting straight towards the Electric Flying Cat.

"Electric!"

The Electric Flying Cat couldn't help but widen its eyes, its face full of shock.

Why doesn't the electricity I sent out listen to me!

"Roar"

A massive figure fearlessly stood in front of the Electric Flying Cat, and the electric light poured down, flashing with dazzling light.

But when the electric light struck the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, and the latter's body stood still, its brownish-brown fur swaying slightly.

The Fallen Meteor Horned Beast only snorted lightly, as an earth-type pet beast, it had excellent resistance to lightning-type attacks.

"Aooo!"

At this moment, Kele's eyes narrowed, and he seized the gap after the Star Weave Illusion Butterfly released its skills, and several materialized wind blades surged around him, whistling out in an instant.

In the masked man's eyes, this Condensing Wind Hound had sharp eyes and a terrifying aura, and his Star Weave Illusion Butterfly was most likely not his opponent.

No, not most likely, but absolutely!

He quickly issued an order, telling the Star Weave Illusion Butterfly to avoid the attack.

The Star Weave Illusion Butterfly first used its mental mind wave to block two wind blades, then violently flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind while scattering fluorescent scale powder.

Yang Yue, seeing this, shouted a warning: "Be careful, touching the scales might poison you."

Although they didn't know why Consultant Chen hadn't appeared, they recognized these little fellows.

The Wind-Gaze Hound guarding the gate, later shining brightly on the dueling field as Consultant Chen's main pet.

The Moisturizing Duck watering the spirit plants, seemingly ordinary, was actually a formidable fellow not to be ignored.

They hadn't seen the Electric Flying Cat and Meteorite Horned Beast before, but the former's sneak attack from the shadows, instantly killing the Shadow Owl, had already displayed remarkable combat power.

"Qingqing, we need to find a way to help them first," Yang Yue whispered.

"Yes," Li Qing nodded slightly.

Although they believed in Cola and the others' strength, Consultant Chen wasn't here, so their strength would be affected to some extent.

Moreover, the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff and Ramming Earth Beast were approaching, and these were two even more troublesome pets.

They had to do something to share the pressure for Cola and the others.

“Awoo~”

Cola leaped up, stirring up a gale at the same time, easily blowing away the scales scattered by the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly, and then pounced straight at the latter, biting down on its azure butterfly wing.

The Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly immediately felt pain, its body swaying violently, but it couldn't shake off Cola, and gradually fell.

A fierce glint flashed in the strong man's eyes. Naturally, he wouldn't just watch the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly in danger, and an idea came to him: "Help it."

The Monstrous Strength Barbarian Monkey and Black Flame Hound had been ready to go, charging forward one after the other, trying to rescue the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly.

“Quack quack!”

The Moisturizing Duck certainly wouldn't sit idly by, three pentagram symbols flashing on its forehead, and it spewed out a surge of surging water, blasting towards the Black Flame Hound!

Bang!

The Black Flame Hound hadn't anticipated that the Moisturizing Duck sitting on the Meteorite Horned Beast's back would suddenly attack. Its body was hit by the water column on its side, and an irresistible force came crashing down. Its body flew backwards uncontrollably.

Even the painful wail didn't sound. Its wet body crashed heavily to the ground, and the Black Flame Hound's eyes closed.

Instant kill.

The strong man was dumbfounded: "How could this be?!"

Even if the Black Flame Hound was restrained by the Moisturizing Duck, wouldn't it be too easy to be instantly killed like this?

Could this Moisturizing Duck be Consultant Chen's main pet?

"Qingqing, did you see that?"

Yang Yue's eyes widened, shaking Li Qing's shoulders vigorously.

"Yes."

Li Qing hummed softly, looking at the Moisturizing Duck, which was preening its hairstyle in a showy manner, and said in a low voice: "As expected of a pet raised by Consultant Chen."

“As strong as ever.”

"We have to do something too!"

The arrival of Cola and the other pets gave Yang Yue hope, and the rapidly changing melee situation made her even more pleasantly surprised.

"Cloud-Tracing Fox, Scale-Covered Green Snake, Ripple Shadow Snake, you entangle the Monstrous Strength Barbarian Monkey."

"And you, Storm Cloud Sparrow!"

Yang Yue stretched out her finger, deploying her troops.

In the melee of many pets, one must always adhere to a principle—defeat one pet at the fastest speed to weaken the opponent's overall strength to the greatest extent.

At this moment, the Shadow Owl and the Black Flame Hound had been defeated. As long as Cola was given a little time, it would be able to quickly defeat the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly.

Therefore, they tried to entangle the Monstrous Strength Barbarian Monkey.

Moreover, Fu Ya's two pets were already approaching.

“Ying!”

After the Elf Fox's treatment, the Cloud-Tracing Fox, Scale-Covered Green Snake, and Ripple Shadow Snake's conditions had recovered somewhat, and together they were enough to resist the Monstrous Strength Barbarian Monkey in good condition.

“Chirp!”

The Storm Cloud Sparrow leader was unwilling to get up, but suddenly recalled what Chen Yuan said when he drilled them: "The service industry pays the most attention to word of mouth."

"If you serve your guests well and make them satisfied, excellent word of mouth will lead other Beast Tamers to choose you."

"If you don't listen to your guests, or even attack them, the good reputation you've worked so hard to build will be gone."

"Then wait to starve."

As the leader of the group, the Storm Cloud Sparrow leader wouldn't allow this to happen. It flapped its wings, calling on the ordinary Storm Cloud Sparrow to jointly attack the Monstrous Strength Barbarian Monkey.

In this way, the Monstrous Strength Barbarian Monkey faced the siege of the Cloud-Tracing Fox, Scale-Covered Green Snake, Ripple Shadow Snake, and two Storm Cloud Sparrows.

Even though its strength was astonishing, it was still no match for so many opponents, and it gradually fell into decline.

At the same time, Cola had already stepped on the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly, its azure butterfly wings stained with dust, weakly waving up and down.

The masked man's face became extremely ugly: "Why?!"

His Shadow Owl was ambushed and lost its fighting ability, which was still understandable.

But why was the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly so helpless in front of this Wind-Gaze Hound?

Clearly, clearly, the Beast Tamer on the other side wasn't even there!

He was actually defeated by a Wind-Gaze Hound without a Beast Tamer commanding it?

For a time, the masked man's face was livid, unable to accept this fact.

If the masked man knew that Zhuang Jianbai, the champion of the Taibai Cup in Baokun City, had encountered the exact same situation and experienced the exact same mental journey, he might feel much better in his heart.

Perhaps he would secretly feel a sense of celebration—so I'm equal to the Taibai Cup champion.

“Retreat.”

The corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Fu Ya's figure. The masked man suddenly looked up, his expression complicated: "Boss, I—"

“Retreat!”

Fu Ya's tone became heavier as he crossed his arms and stared at Cola directly in front of him, his expression slightly solemn.

He didn't care whose pet this Wind-Gaze Hound was, nor did he care why it was so strong. He only knew one thing—if they continued to waste time like this, it would attract more and more Beast Tamers, turning this deal into nothing.

“Damn it.”

Thinking of this, Fu Ya had no intention of fighting. He only hoped to quickly take the batch of high-quality pets away from this place.

But he knew in his heart that if they didn't get rid of these annoying fellows in front of them, they wouldn't be able to leave safely.

Even if they couldn't defeat them all, they had to at least intimidate them.

Without a Beast Tamer commanding them, he didn't think these pets would be that strong.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Fu Ya retreated to a corner in the shadows.

“Roar!!!!”

A muffled roar like a thunderclap resounded through the dense forest. The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff, nearly two meters tall at the shoulder, charged fiercely, its muscles knotted like granite, its skin covered with natural alloy armor plates, and bronze bone spurs extending from its joints.

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff charged straight at Cola, opening its terrifying mouth, its fangs interlaced like a forged knife jungle, wrapped in a sharp cold light, biting towards Cola!

“Awoo!”

Cola sensed a trace of danger and subconsciously twisted its body to dodge, just barely avoiding the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff's 【Steel Fang Crush】.

However, at this moment, the ground beneath Cola's feet suddenly collapsed, and a swift figure shot out from within. The Ramming Earth Beast's eyes were icy cold, and its sharp front claws slashed at Cola.

“Awoo!”

A gust of breeze rose beneath Cola's feet, and it timely used 【Wind-Riding Gait】, its speed increasing sharply in an instant, and it leaped forward several meters, its light brown fur flying wildly, narrowly avoiding the Ramming Earth Beast's sudden attack.

“Awoo awoo!”

Cola turned around, lowered its body, and stared at the Ramming Earth Beast with its azure eyes.

I don't approve of guys who like to sneak attack.

“Elec…”

The Electric Flying Cat's eyes flickered, and it couldn't help but shrink its neck.

The Ramming Earth Beast remained unmoved, raising its claws and pointing at Cola, trying to pinch it together with the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff.

“Quack quack quack!”

The Moisturizing Duck commanded the Meteorite Horned Beast to charge forward, suddenly spitting out a swift water arrow towards the Ramming Earth Beast.

You bastard, your opponent is Duck Duck me!

The Ramming Earth Beast jumped back to avoid the water arrow, then raised its eyes to look at the Moisturizing Duck sitting on the Meteorite Horned Beast's back, a trace of solemnity flashing in its eyes.

The Moisturizing Duck riding the Meteorite Horned Beast, on the one hand, has super mobility and can run around at will. With Duck Duck's swift offensive, it is equivalent to a mobile turret;

On the other hand, it is equivalent to putting an indestructible armor on the Moisturizing Duck. The Meteorite Horned Beast can block most of the attacks for Duck Duck.

It's just a pity that the Meteorite Horned Beast has not yet broken through to the second level, and can only temporarily dodge many attacks.

At this moment, the melee situation changed again.

Cola and the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff looked at each other from afar, and the two canine pets seemed to be about to start a fierce battle in the next second;

The Moisturizing Duck rides the Meteorite Horned Beast, facing the Ramming Earth Beast that can drill into the ground;

The Cloud-Tracing Fox leads a group of little guys, besieging the Monstrous Strength Barbarian Monkey, whose condition is rapidly declining.

“Elec…”

The agile Electric Flying Cat roams around the periphery of the melee, its round eyes constantly flashing, looking for a sneak attack target.
