Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 211 - 149: The Adventurer Squad Sets Out!
Chapter 211: Chapter 149: The Adventurer Squad Sets Out!
When the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast dragged the injured Cold-Biting Ox back to the farm, all the little creatures gathered around.
“Caw caw.”
Seeing the Cold-Biting Ox with some of its hair singed black, Run Run Duck opened its mouth to spray a stream of water, but was stopped by Chen Yuan:
“No need, the fire is already out. Just let it rest now.”
Before long,
The Cold-Biting Ox weakly opened its eyes. As the unfamiliar environment and many never-seen-before figures came into view, it immediately let out a fearful cry: “Moo.”
It wanted to hide quickly, but its body didn’t obey.
“This child is quite pitiful,” Chen Yuan sighed.
Being excluded by, being abandoned by its group—no Pet Beast could accept that.
Perhaps… it might leave an indelible shadow in its heart.
“You go ahead, I’ll take care of it,” said Chen Weiyi.
With that, Chen Weiyi slowly walked towards the Cold-Biting Ox.
The Cold-Biting Ox looked at the approaching Chen Weiyi, not showing fear or terror as before, only quietly staring at Chen Weiyi, then lowered its head to stare blankly at the ground.
It remembered this human.
When it was learning Skills, and when it was daydreaming away from the group, he always watched from afar.
Did he also think it was stupid?
But Chen Weiyi said nothing; he simply moved a chair next to the Cold-Biting Ox and sat down.
The sunlight fell on both man and ox, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly calm and peaceful.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Chen Weiyi’s voice came through: “You’re a hardworking good child.”
“Moo?”
The Cold-Biting Ox lifted its head questioningly, catching a glimpse of Run Run Duck and Electric Flying Cat peeking nearby, and immediately buried its head down.
Chen Yuan quickly grabbed Run Run Duck with his left hand and held Electric Flying Cat with his right, swiftly leaving the courtyard.
Chen Weiyi continued: “If you can’t learn the Skills, don’t force it. Spend more time sunbathing with me.”
“Just stay here; you won’t encounter danger or be excluded.”
“In your leisure time, take walks with me everywhere.”
In the hall,
Chen Yuan received a call from Chen Wenhao.
“Brother, the time is set. I’ll follow the teacher back next month on the first, and then go into Qinling for research with him.” Perhaps because he was soon returning home, Chen Wenhao’s tired tone carried a hint of joy.
He then asked, “How have you all been recently? Is Grandpa’s health okay?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan glanced at the old man in the yard with the Cold-Biting Ox, and grinned: “Of course fine, Grandpa might even have his own Pet Beast soon.”
Afterwards, Chen Yuan recounted the events of the day to Chen Wenhao.
Chen Wenhao nodded slightly, paying little regard to the connection between the old man and the Cold-Biting Ox, but pondered: “The phenomenon of patched-hair cubs being excluded by the group isn’t unique; many groups have such incidents.”
“However, slow growth, inability to learn Skills, yet immense strength does indicate a peculiar change in this Cold-Biting Ox’s body.”
“Could its fur color be a representation of this change?”
“Hmm, there’s significant research value.”
Bringing up the matter, Chen Yuan suddenly mentioned the leader Snow Cloud Wolf progressing itself without the help of a Beastmaster to Chen Wenhao.
Chen Wenhao was stunned: “This actually happened?”
“Yes,” Chen Yuan nodded, “I’m certain no Beastmaster helped it advance. It’s highly unlikely it stumbled upon the resources needed for progression by accident.”
“Hmm…” Chen Wenhao thought for a long time without any answers, so he simply said, “I’ll study that Snow Cloud Wolf when I’m back.”
He paused for a while, then spoke solemnly: “If Pet Beasts have other advancement methods, that would be explosive news for all Beastmasters.”
“Unravel this mystery; aim to see your name in the academic world soon,” Chen Yuan laughed.
Chen Wenhao smiled wryly: “Brother, you really think too highly of me.”
But deep down, a thought arose: what if he could truly achieve it?
As night deepened,
Cola gathered all the little friends except for the eldest sister, Twin Flower Concubine, and Bean Chicken.
“Ow ow ow.”
Cola extended a paw, pointing at the Cold-Biting Ox sleeping in the hall, its blue eyes flickering in the dark.
Did you all see what happened during the day?
“Crack.”
Iron Head nodded heavily.
“Ow ow!”
Then, with a passionate gaze, Cola waved its paw to extend an invitation to its friends.
Let’s go catch that Fire Patterned Snake!
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Run Run Duck was the first to flap its wings and turn away: “Caw caw.”
Leave the fighting to you guys~
I’m heading back to sleep.
“Ow.”
Cola held Run Run Duck’s tail with a bite. When the latter turned around, glared angrily at Cola, Cola quickly explained: “Ow ow ow!”
The owner is already disappointed in me.
I must catch that Fire Patterned Snake!
Run Run Duck’s anger gradually dissipated, it rubbed its tail and decided to give its good friend some face: “Caw caw caw.”
Then what do you plan to do?
Cola didn’t answer but looked at Electric Flying Cat.
In Cola’s view, Electric Flying Cat has always been the smartest, most resourceful creature on the farm.
Asking Electric Flying Cat for ideas can’t go wrong.
For a moment, all the little creatures stared closely at Electric Flying Cat.
“Dian Dian…”
Electric Flying Cat lightly flapped its yellow thin wings, eyes flashing with wisdom, suddenly raising its paw.
Hey, I have an idea.
“Dian Dian Dian Dian…”
Electric Flying Cat recalled a plot it saw on TV, perfectly devising what it considered a flawless plan.
They would need bait to lure the Fire Patterned Snake out, then the rest of the friends would ambush from the shadows.
