Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 162 - 127: The Slumbering Giant Monster (Part 3)

Chapter 162: Chapter 127: The Slumbering Giant Monster (Part 3)

Liu Jinglan’s Red Flame Ox was half-lying on the ground, with its eyes closed, while Liu Jinglan and Liu Jingyi leaned against its back.

Liu Jingyi poured mineral water onto her palm, carefully using the water to clean the dirty feathers of the Fiery Flame Eagle, straightening each of them one by one.

Liu Jinglan curled his lips: “You’re such a spendthrift, is this how you waste water?”

Liu Jingyi shot him a glance: “Brother, you’re actually more handsome when you keep quiet.”

Then, Liu Jingyi took out a bag of Pet Beast Mall’s newly launched exclusive pet beast cub feed, which was finer in texture and more suitable for the cub’s stomach compared to regular feed.

She patiently fed a grain into the mouth of the Fiery Flame Eagle one by one.

Sometimes, Liu Jingyi would deliberately tease the Fiery Flame Eagle, holding the pellet-shaped feed near its face and shaking it continuously.

The Fiery Flame Eagle would eagerly open its mouth, and when it saw Liu Jingyi not feeding it, it would raise its head hard, trying to eat.

At this point, Liu Jingyi would pull the feed away, and the Fiery Flame Eagle would flap its wings and chase after it with its mouth open.

The interaction between the two little creatures amused the three people, and Cola also gazed up dreamily, imagining being fed like that by its owner.

“Can this little guy fly yet?” Chen Yuan asked.

Bird-type pet beasts have an intense desire to fly, but from the beginning until now, he hadn’t seen the Fiery Flame Eagle fly.

“Probably not.” Liu Jingyi pondered for a moment and replied, “Didn’t see it fly at all since we first met it.”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: “Then it must not be long since it was born.”

“Hey, have you heard about the legend of Flame Mountain?” Liu Jinglan suddenly raised a topic.

Chen Yuan shook his head, while Chang Yuhuan nodded.

Liu Jinglan looked at Chen Yuan and explained: “In our locality, there has always been a legend.”

He cleared his throat and began speaking in a magnetic broadcast voice: “It is said that a great beast lies dormant beneath Flame Mountain, and when it awakens, Flame Mountain will erupt with flames that cannot be extinguished by water.”

“When it is enraged, these flames will spread far and wide, covering all areas, creating a desolate land where nothing grows.”

“Some say this is also the origin of the name Fire State.”

Chen Yuan rested his chin in his hand and chuckled: “Many places have similar folklore.”

“That’s true,” Liu Jinglan nodded, then looked at the bright flames burning atop the distant mountain, muttering, “But the scenario described by this legend is very much like what is happening now.”

Liu Jingyi waved her hand: “Ugh, the teacher tells us to talk about science, why are you still superstitious, old brother?”

Liu Jinglan glanced at her: “Now that Spiritual Energy Revival is happening, just talking science is useless.”

Liu Jingyi remained silent, her head lowered, teasing the Fiery Flame Eagle.

“Actually, I’ve heard this legend too,” Chang Yuhuan took over the conversation, “It’s said when this beast bursts out of the ground, it will shake the heavens, flames will surge everywhere, whether it’s the sky, the ground, or rivers, they will all be scorched by the fire, endangering the safety of the world.”

“See.” Liu Jinglan spread his hands open, laughing, “She describes it more seriously than I do.”

“Hmph.” Liu Jingyi softly hummed, her dark eyes immersed in the starlight of the night sky, muttering silently, “I hope this day never comes.”

Liu Jinglan was silent for a moment, then gently patted Liu Jingyi’s head, saying warmly: “Don’t worry, even if that day comes, your big brother will stand in front of you.”

Chang Yuhuan raised her right hand: “Me too, me too, I am also a part of Fire State, I will help too.”

Chen Yuan joked along: “If that day truly arrives, no matter where I am, I would come to help you all.”

“It’s a promise then.” Liu Jingyi blinked her eyes.
