Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 210 - 148: Chen Weiyi and Cold-Biting Ox (Part 2)
Chapter 210: Chapter 148: Chen Weiyi and Cold-Biting Ox (Part 2)
The entire tribe fell into chaos.
“Moo moo moo!”
The leader of the Cold-Biting Ox raised its head and roared, then each Cold-Biting Ox swung their tails, stamped their hooves, and frantically charged into the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The terrified sounds gradually faded away, and the Cold-Biting Ox calf, its whole body scorched by flames, struggled to lift its head to call for help from the tribe, but could only see a series of hurried fleeing backs.
So, it fell silent, stopped struggling, and let the flames spread.
Chen Weiyi quickly retreated the moment the Fire Patterned Snake appeared, while shouting loudly to the villagers in the nearby fields: “Lao Zhao, there’s a snake!”
“Old Wang, run!”
The villagers looked up in unison, and upon clearly seeing the scene not far away, they hurriedly dropped their hoes and ran towards the village.
“Howl howl howl!”
“Woof woof woof!”
At that moment, figures ran along the dirt road, accompanied by reassuring dog barks.
The Puppy Team led by Cola arrived right on time.
As the leader of Xuanhe Village’s Puppy Team, Cola believed its job was more important than Iron Head’s.
Iron Head had only to take care of the farm, while Cola had to constantly observe the entire village, and once it smelled a strange and malicious scent, it would lead the Puppy Team to swiftly attack.
“Howl howl!”
With the wind at its back, Cola’s speed increased more and more, covering several dozen meters in an instant, leaving the other Puppy Team members far behind.
The next moment, Cola spotted the old farmer hiding nearby, both surprised and angry.
Howl howl howl!
If my owner finds out that I didn’t protect the old farmer, they will definitely give me a harsh scolding!
With this thought, Cola’s speed increased to another level, almost turning into a faint and indistinct shadow, charging out!
“Moo.”
The Cold-Biting Ox had long since despaired, the pain from its scorched body was intense, and it could only watch with wide eyes as the Fire Patterned Snake opened its terrifying mouth, baring fangs that gleamed coldly, seemingly about to bite its head in the next second.
“Howl!”
Suddenly, an angry bark sounded at its ear, followed by a lithe figure leaping over its body and slamming fiercely into the Fire Patterned Snake in front of it.
“Hiss…”
The Fire Patterned Snake, like a kite with a broken string, was hit several meters away by Cola, its head spinning dizzily.
It looked up blankly, meeting a pair of angry eyes.
A pressure-filled aura crashed down simultaneously.
“Howl howl howl!”
Cola had no desire to communicate with this despicable creature; accompanied by a furious roar, several solid Wind Blades gathered around it and whistled out!
The Fire Patterned Snake caught sight of Cola’s figure, but the Wind Blades had already come, and it didn’t have time to react, directly spitting out a stream of fire to resist.
The Wind Blades, carrying a sharp aura, brazenly sliced through the scorching flames, forcing the Fire Patterned Snake to quickly hide behind a thick tree trunk.
Bam!
The Wind Blades struck the trunk, instantly creating a deep crack, and the tree swayed before it started falling backward.
Thud!!!
The Fire Patterned Snake quickly moved further away, watching the tree crash to the ground with a deafening roar, its eyes widening involuntarily.
“Woof woof woof!”
The other Puppy Team members followed Cola’s pace and quickly arrived, their eyes filled with hostility fixed on the Fire Patterned Snake.
“Hiss…..”
At that moment, the Fire Patterned Snake recalled the terror of being chased by a pack of Snow Cloud Wolves.
No, it was even scarier than that pack of Snow Cloud Wolves.
Its body trembled slightly, and in the next moment, it gave up the prey it was just a step away from taking, slithered away, and disappeared into the dense grass.
“Howl!”
With a command from Cola, all the Puppy Team members immediately launched in pursuit.
Watching as the silhouettes of the Puppy Team gradually disappeared into the dense forest, Chen Weiyi walked up to the downed Cold-Biting Ox calf, lowering his head: “I wonder if it’s still breathing?”
“Moo…”
The Cold-Biting Ox calf weakly opened its eyes.
At this time, Chen Weiyi had already pulled out his phone and dialed a number: “Hey kid, are you free now?”
“There’s an injured Pet Beast here that needs your treatment.”
Three minutes later,
The Fallen Meteor Horned Beast carried Chen Yuan to the Cold-Biting Ox calf’s side.
Without asking too many questions, he immediately opened the medical kit to begin treatment: “Severe burns are not normally fatal to a Pet Beast.”
“However, since the Cold-Biting Ox is an Ice-type Pet Beast, it seems quite serious.”
He took out a specially purchased Healing Ointment for burns and applied it to the slightly charred fur.
Then, Chen Yuan extended his right hand, and the Twin Flower Concubine tore off a petal, handing it to his palm.
Chen Yuan squatted down, placing the petal in front of the Cold-Biting Ox calf’s mouth, softly saying, “Eat it.”
The Cold-Biting Ox seemed to be conscious, not opening its eyes, but just opening its mouth to take the petal in and chewed slowly.
“Hum~”
Looking at this pitiful little creature, a trace of pity flashed in the Twin Flower Concubine’s eyes, and it attempted to tear another petal, but Chen Yuan stopped it, saying, “One is enough.”
Though the Twin Flower Concubine’s petal has a cooldown time, it can tear off several at once, there’s no cumulative healing effect.
The Healing Ointment combined with one petal is enough for the Cold-Biting Ox calf to recover quickly.
“Just a few more days of rest, and it will be completely fine,” Chen Yuan said.
Then, he looked towards Chen Weiyi and asked, “Grandpa, what happened?”
“Sigh,” the old man first let out a sigh before explaining what had occurred to Chen Yuan.
“So that’s how it is…” Chen Yuan nodded in understanding, then shook his head, “A tribe like that has no chance of growing strong.”
In the tribes he had encountered, every calf was cherished deeply, and if a calf was in danger, every member would fight to rescue it.
It was the first time he had seen a tribe that would just run when a calf was in danger.
Even though, as the old man mentioned, this particular Cold-Biting Ox was very special and even ostracized by the tribe, wasn’t it still a member?
But at this moment, seeing the old man closely watching the Cold-Biting Ox calf, a thought flashed in Chen Yuan’s mind, and he said: “Grandpa, take it back to the farm, let it rest a few days.”
“Okay,” the old man agreed without hesitation.
Chen Yuan looked over at the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast: “I’ll leave that to you.”
“Roar roar.”
The Fallen Meteor Horned Beast obediently crouched down, allowing Chen Yuan to place the Cold-Biting Ox calf on its back more easily.
At this time, a dejected Cola returned with the Puppy Team.
Chen Yuan asked, “Couldn’t catch it?”
“Howl howl…..”
Cola lowered its head, feeling guilty.
Perhaps worried that Chen Yuan would scold it, Cola quickly lifted its head, unwillingly swinging its paw.
The creature was too cunning; it dove into the grass and escaped unnoticed.
By the time it finally caught the scent of the Fire Patterned Snake, it had already slipped into a crevice in the rocks, leaving Cola helpless outside.
“It’s okay, you arrived just in time, it’s not your fault,” Chen Yuan gently rubbed Cola’s head, comfortingly.
The fact that the Fire Patterned Snake couldn’t be instantly defeated by Cola and even escaped smoothly despite being surrounded by Cola and the Puppy Team likely indicated it had Tier Two strength.
Snake Pet Beasts are agile, can use the environment to hide their tracks, and can squeeze into cramped spaces, making them difficult to catch.
“However…..”
“The presence of a Tier Two Fire Patterned Snake near the village means we’ll need to alert the villagers to stay safe,” Chen Yuan thought, his eyes flashing briefly.
Seeing that its master wasn’t scolding it, Cola felt very unaccustomed.
Could it be that the master has completely given up on me?
Does the master no longer trust my abilities?
Thinking of this, Cola’s emotions became complex, and suddenly it lifted its gaze in the direction the Fire Patterned Snake fled, letting out a low howl: “Howl.”
No, I must capture it!
Noticing Cola’s unusual emotions, Chen Yuan smiled wryly: “It’s really okay, this kind of Pet Beast is good at running away, you’ve done very well.”
“Howl howl!”
Faced with its master’s comfort, an unusually serious look flashed in Cola’s eyes as it shook its head.
Rest assured, master, I will catch it!
