Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 127 - 112: The Professional Mediator in Qinling
Chapter 127: Chapter 112: The Professional Mediator in Qinling
September 25, Wednesday
Sunny.
“Dian Dian~”
The Electric Flying Cat tugged hard on Chen Yuan’s sleeve, eyes showing a hint of urgency.
Chen Yuan spoke unhurriedly, “Alright, alright, don’t rush.”
Early in the morning, Chen Yuan took Spark, Cola, and the Electric Flying Cat into the northern forest, preparing to meet up with the Earth Bear and then scout the valley.
After a long wait, the Electric Flying Cat, which found nothing when entering the mountain two days ago, brought good news—it smelled the scent of a Spirit Plant!
“I’ll note your contribution.”
Seeing the day was still early, Chen Yuan let the Electric Flying Cat lead the way, with Spark and Cola following closely behind.
Through dense jungle, over babbling brooks, a bamboo forest gradually came into view.
The bamboo was already very tall, and after the Spiritual Energy Revival, these bamboos uniformly grew to forty or fifty meters high. Looking up, the sky was blocked by bamboo leaves, with only threads of sunlight seeping through.
Continuing onward, stepping into the bamboo forest, the Electric Flying Cat soon stopped.
Chen Yuan looked up and saw a round figure sitting on the ground, its smooth black-and-white fur covering its body, with irregular green stripes, and a short tail swaying back and forth as it munched on bamboo.
The bamboo in its hand emitted a faint green glow, evidently some kind of Spirit Plant.
Even from afar, Chen Yuan could immediately recognize the name of this Pet Beast—Wooden Panda.
Wooden Panda, Wood Attribute Pet Beast, naturally born as an elite grade, believed to have evolved from the panda into an Extraordinary Creature.
Everyone knows that the Qinling has four treasures, namely the red-crowned crane, golden monkey, takin, and panda.
Compared to the pandas of Shu Province, the pandas of Qinling are a subspecies, with a brown-and-white coat, known as “the beauties among the national treasures,” and are extremely rare.
Chen Yuan has been in the Qinling for many years, having seen the other three treasures more than once, but the panda, no, the Wooden Panda, is his first time seeing.
Chen Yuan calmed down and spoke softly, “Let’s go, don’t disturb it.”
Since the Spirit Plant already has a master, and it’s a panda-type Pet Beast that Chen Yuan particularly loves, he suddenly intends to retreat.
He silently noted the approximate location of this bamboo forest and turned to leave.
Just as he turned around, he heard muffled roars from the other end of the forest, the sound somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
“Woof woof!”
Cola’s eyes lit up, instantly excited, bitten onto Chen Yuan’s pant leg, continuously dragging him towards the direction the sound was coming from.
It smelled the scent of the Bear Cub.
Chen Yuan suddenly nodded, “No wonder the sound is familiar.”
Meanwhile,
At the instant the sound rang out, this Wooden Panda raised its head in confusion. As the sound grew clearer, its expression slightly changed, quickly placing the bamboo aside and using its paw to dig a hole.
The Wooden Panda placed the bamboo into the hole, refilled it with soil, then stomped on top of it a few times before hurriedly running towards the direction of the sound.
“Woof?” Cola looked up at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan decisively said, “Go on, see what’s happening.”
After all, he needed to meet up with the Earth Bear, so he might as well take a look at what trouble the Earth Bear had caused this time.
Following the sound, they moved forward, through the bamboo forest, the roar becoming clearer, accompanied by a strange, muffled roar like thunder exploding beside their ears.
Obviously, the Earth Bear is fighting with some kind of Pet Beast.
Before long,
Chen Yuan and the little ones hid behind the bamboo, peeking at the scene before them.
As he had guessed, the Earth Bear was fighting with a large Wooden Panda, the Bear Cub hiding behind a bamboo cheering for Mr. Xiong.
Compared to the Wooden Panda eating bamboo that Chen Yuan had just encountered, this Wooden Panda was much larger, almost the same size as the Earth Bear.
And the small Wooden Panda stood behind the large Wooden Panda, glaring fiercely at the Bear Cub, two little ones exchanging glances and stares, almost about to rush forward and fight.
Clearly, this bamboo forest is home to two Wooden Pandas, one big and one small.
But for some unknown reason, they had a conflict with the Earth Bear.
Based on Chen Yuan’s understanding of the Earth Bear, this guy tends to fight at the slightest disagreement, acts with extreme randomness, and most likely initiated the trouble.
“Stereotypes shouldn’t be entertained.” Chen Yuan shook his head.
Without knowing the truth, all subjective judgments are just pointless speculation.
“Roar!”
The Wooden Panda roared angrily, its palms suddenly emitting a bright green light, quickly gathering into a solid, sturdy wooden staff.
It held the wooden staff, its large body stepping forward, facing the dark eyes of the Earth Bear, smashing down from above with the staff!
Wood Skills, Grass and Wood Strike.
“Roar!”
With a deep roar, the Earth Bear charged forward instead of retreating, terrifying energy instantly erupting, forming a fist, the wind surrounding it fiercely, suddenly throwing a powerful punch.
In an instant, a strong wave of air rapidly expanded from around the two bear-type Pet Beasts in all directions, the gusts whistling, causing the two little bears on either side to stagger.
After a moment,
The Earth Bear and Wooden Panda simultaneously retreated, staring at each other across several meters, both panting heavily, their bodies scarred, yet constantly alert to the other.
Evidently, this Wooden Panda possesses strength matching the Earth Bear, also a Tier Two Pet Beast.
Seeing them in a temporary stalemate, Chen Yuan quickly coughed, leading the three little ones out.
When several figures appeared simultaneously, they instantly broke the deadly silence.
“Roar roar~”
Spotting its good friend, the Bear Cub instantly became excited, running briskly to Cola.
