Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 168 - 130: Awakening! Flame Storm! (Part 2)
Chapter 168: Chapter 130: Awakening! Flame Storm! (Part 2)
“After we go down the mountain, let’s have a meal together,” Liu Jinglan proactively suggested, “just to thank you both.”
Chang Yuhuan quickly waved his hand, “I’m just along for the ride.”
Chen Yuan laughed, “No need for thanks. You were the one who first came to help.”
“It’s all fate.” After saying this, Liu Jinglan stared at Chen Yuan intently, eyes glowing with a fiery light, “Once we’re down the mountain, how about a Pet Beast battle?”
Chen Yuan hesitated, “I’m not sure if there’s time; I have to rush back to Qin Province with the Fiery Sun Wood.”
“How are you going to bring these two pieces back?” Liu Jinglan glanced at the Fiery Sun Wood that emitted faint flames on the surface, genuinely puzzled about how to carry these across a thousand miles.
Chen Yuan replied, “The airline recently launched a special shipping service for Spirit Plants; they have a way to solve transport difficulties.”
Liu Jinglan clicked his tongue in wonder, “Their business minds are really impressive.”
After a slight pause, he looked at Chen Yuan with a smile, “In that case, I won’t urge you further, but if you come to Fire State, be sure to let me know.”
“We’ll leave the Pet Beast battle for next time.”
His lips curved, eyes sparkling with confidence, “By the next time we meet, I’ll be much stronger than now.”
“Maybe…”
“Maybe I’ll already be the number one Beastmaster in Fire State.”
Liu Jingyi glanced at her brother and murmured softly, “By the time you become Fire State’s number one Beastmaster, Brother Chen Yuan will already be the West’s number one Beastmaster.”
“Screech~”
The Fiery Flame Eagle chick didn’t understand Liu Jingyi’s words; it just fluttered its wings and cried out naively, as if agreeing with her.
Liu Jinglan was furious, “You look down on your big brother just like that!”
Liu Jingyi put her hands on her hips, unwilling to back down, “I just have more faith in Brother Chen Yuan.”
“Screech screech screech!”
In her arms, the Fiery Flame Eagle chick also kept calling towards Liu Jinglan.
Liu Jinglan instantly felt exhausted and deliberately made a heart-clutching gesture, showing regret, “I should never have brought you to Flame Mountain!”
“Hmph!” Liu Jingyi turned her head away, and the Fiery Flame Eagle chick copied her action, imitating and turning its head.
“You siblings really have great chemistry.” Chang Yuhuan laughed.
“Hmph, who has a good relationship with him (her)!” x2
Both spoke at the same time, glared at each other, and turned away.
Chen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Time slowly passed, and though it was evening, Flame Mountain was still sunny and bright, the sun hanging high in the sky showing no sign of setting.
“Chirp~”
Spark landed on Chen Yuan, its eyes noticeably brighter than before, the color of its flame red feathers even more vivid, looking like burning flames even from afar.
After half a day’s tempering, Spark’s overall strength had changed significantly. Whether it was physical fitness or skill proficiency, both had greatly improved.
But unfortunately, at the end, Spark only found two pieces of Fiery Sun Wood.
The harvest for the Red Flame Ox was equally rewarding, making Liu Jinglan think, “I’ll come here every week for a day of training.”
It’s the unique geographical advantage for Fire State Beastmasters, no need to go out, yet able to have the best training environment.
“Thanks for the hard work today, return to the Pet Beast space for a good rest.”
Although full of harvests after half a day of training, Spark’s bright eyes can’t hide its exhaustion and eagerly needs rest.
“Chirp~” Spark nodded slightly, returned to the Pet Beast space to rest.
“You too.” Liu Jinglan also returned the Red Flame Ox.
“Cola, it’s up to you to protect us next.” Chen Yuan entrusted this important task to Cola.
“Woof woof woof!”
Cola straightened its back, proudly walked in the front, eyes bright blue staring straight ahead, a gentle breeze around it, always alert to its surroundings.
Finally, it’s time to shine!
“Woof woof!”
Cola eagerly anticipated a few attacking Pet Beasts to appear, allowing it to defeat them easily and earn the admiration of everyone.
Thinking of this, Cola couldn’t help but let out a silly smile.
“Water Spirit Turtle, come help too.” Chang Yuhuan summoned the Water Spirit Turtle.
“Moo~”
The Water Spirit Turtle followed closely behind, alongside Cola providing protection for everyone.
“Screech screech~”
Seeing this, the Fiery Flame Eagle chick in Liu Jingyi’s arms struggled to fly, as if wanting to protect everyone like Cola and the Water Spirit Turtle.
Liu Jingyi held it tightly, speaking softly, “You’re still a little child, your task now is to grow up safely.”
“Now, I will protect you.”
“When you grow up, you can protect us.”
“Let’s go~” Liu Jinglan started walking ahead, and everyone followed suit.
Chen Yuan suddenly sensed something, looking up to see two golden figures soaring through thin clouds, circling long.
These two figures had been following them, turning back only when nearing Flame Mountain’s entrance.
Throughout the journey, no wild Pet Beasts blocked the way, they walked several hours non-stop, finally returning to the Beastmaster Office as night fell.
“Woof…”
Cola drooped its ears, feeling a bit dejected.
Why!
Why didn’t wild Pet Beasts attack on the way back!
Having experienced the super high temperature inside Flame Mountain, now outside, Chen Yuan felt it wasn’t that hot.
Remember, when he first arrived in Fire State, he was drenched in sweat after walking just a few steps.
“Charge charge, I’ll take you for some good eats.”
After processing the descent paperwork at the office, Liu Jinglan hurriedly said.
Chen Yuan placed the Fiery Sun Wood in Liu Jinglan’s car, then followed the three to the city of Fire State.
“This is frame meat; it’s very famous locally,” Liu Jinglan parked the car beside a courtyard after a while, leading the trio inside.
Frame meat is a specialty in the Southern Border Region, slaughter a lamb, remove the skin and organs, clean it, wrap in flour and eggs, with onions, peppers and other seasonings, and bake in a sealed naan pit.
“Boss, frame meat, and four servings of hand-grabbed rice,” Liu Jinglan shouted loudly.
Soon, frame meat and hand-grabbed rice were on the table, and the already starving group began eating directly.
Frame meat had crispy oily skin and tender, juicy, fragrant meat.
Hand-grabbed rice was so delicious that you wouldn’t let go even if slapped.
While devouring the feast, Chen Yuan grabbed a piece of meat and placed it before Cola, who, even before thanking its owner, dove for it, pinning the piece down, and took massive bites.
After a long while,
finally satisfied, they had the energy to talk, Liu Jinglan touched his slightly bulging belly, slumped in the chair, squinted, “I finally feel alive again.”
“Add me,” Chang Yuhuan replied.
“Add me too,” Chen Yuan chimed in.
Liu Jingyi was busy tearing off a piece of meat to feed the Fiery Flame Eagle chick, completely ignoring Liu Jinglan.
“Is your flight tomorrow morning?” Liu Jinglan looked towards Chen Yuan.
During the trip, Chen Yuan had purchased his ticket.
Chen Yuan nodded, “Yes, we’ll have to wait until next time for another chance to meet.”
Chang Yuhuan pushed her hair back, smiling slightly, “I’m glad to have met you; I’m headed to Ancient Shule City tomorrow too.”
“What are you going there for?” Liu Jinglan asked.
Chang Yuhuan replied, “I took a filming job; I’m going to help with some promotion.”
“I forgot, you’re a social media influencer.” Liu Jinglan scratched his head.
“By the way, do you mind if the photos I took are posted online?” Chang Yuhuan suddenly asked.
Chen Yuan shook his head, “No problem, do as you like.”
He’s had similar experiences before, and doesn’t mind it anymore.
“By the way, Sister Yu Huan, can you take a group photo for us?” Liu Jingyi suddenly looked up.
“Sure,” Chang Yuhuan agreed quickly, then posed, leaning on one hand with a bright smile, “but this time, I want to be in the picture too.”
Chang Yuhuan set up the tripod in the yard, organized the timer, and rushed over to squeeze in with everyone.
“Hey stop pushing me!”
“Cola look at the camera!!!”
“Sister Yu Huan, do you want to say something?”
“Cheese cheese!”
With a click sound, the memory of everyone was captured and preserved.
