Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 317 - 188: No One Can Stop Advisor Chen from Living a Peaceful Life! (Part 2)

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, except for Zhang Yu whose face was perplexed: “Eh? What problem do they have?”

“There is a fatal flaw in these two people.” Chen Yuan said.

“Is there an issue with the wounds?” Jiang Wenning first speculated.

A member of the Investigation Department shook his head and said, “I have carefully checked, the claw marks on them were indeed caused by wolf-like Pet Beasts.”

Chen Wenhao looked pensive, murmuring, “Those two Pet Beasts really fell into a coma, and their appearance and behavior seem quite normal.”

“Could it be…”

Chen Wenhao recalled the detailed information on the Snow Cloud Wolves, and suddenly his eyes lit up, revealing his own guess: “Snow Cloud Wolves have a keen sense of smell and they operate as a pack. Once they confirm a prey, they never let it go.”

He paused, his speech accelerating: “With their injuries and traces of blood, the scent of fresh blood in the air is like a beacon, there’s no way they could escape the pursuit of the Snow Cloud Wolves.”

“Not to mention they are injured, hampering their mobility, making escape even more unlikely.”

Professor Song gently clapped, a smile appearing on his face, “Excellent analysis, I thought the same thing.”

“Senior brother, you’re amazing!” Zhang Yu praised sincerely.

Professor Song cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Yu, saying lightly, “If you can put as much thought into Pet Beasts as you do into researching Spirit Plants, you could probably analyze it too.”

Zhang Yu remained silent.

“Analyzing it this way, these two are indeed very suspicious.” A member of the Investigation Department spoke solemnly.

Lu Ran was infuriated: “Dare to deceive me, Blast Flame Fighting Ape, let’s go teach them a lesson!”

“Roar!”

“Don’t throw the backpack!”

“Roar!”

Professor Song coughed gently, and Lu Ran halted his steps silently.

Afterwards, Professor Song looked at Chen Yuan who was smiling silently, and asked: “Advisor Chen, was Wenhao’s analysis correct?”

Chen Yuan smiled and said: “Very close to the answer.”

He turned his head to look at Chen Wenhao, shaking his head: “But the process was all wrong.”

Chen Wenhao was shocked, then furrowed his brows and muttered to himself: “Was something wrong? Did I miss any details?”

Chen Yuan said: “Your analysis is not wrong, it’s even more comprehensive than I thought.”

“But there’s one thing you don’t know.”

He paused, looking at the crowd, a slight smile playing at his lips: “There are no Snow Cloud Wolves in this area.”

Everyone: “??”

“How can this be?” Zhang Yu frowned, “I checked before coming, there were traces of Snow Cloud Wolves in various parts of Qinling, and a pack had wandered to the nearby Nanhe Town.”

Chen Yuan explained: “That was in the past, but not anymore.”

“I am quite certain.”

Ever since the Snow Cloud Wolf leader was sent to the breeding base, the remaining Snow Cloud Wolves failed to attack the farm and were buried deep underground.

The once dominating Snow Cloud Wolf packs have completely vanished, from Xuanhe Village to the Mysterious Forest, there are no traces of Snow Cloud Wolves.

If any Snow Cloud Wolves appeared, the various informants arranged by Chen Yuan would report immediately, and Old Xing would promptly report as well.

But he hadn’t heard the name Snow Cloud Wolves for a long time.

…

“I feel like we’ve been exposed.” The voice of the gaunt man was no longer as hoarse as before, instead a bit piercing and harsh, “There must be a flaw somewhere.”

“How could it be?” The burly man’s face was flushed, flexing his arms, “We disguised ourselves so well.”

“My intuition shouldn’t be wrong.” The gaunt man shook his head, his expression stern, “A normal person wouldn’t send us to the side of an Earth Bear.”

Hearing this, the burly man couldn’t refute and could only mumble: “Our wounds are real, and the explanations given stand up to scrutiny.”

“Damn it, we failed to infiltrate the team and didn’t manage to split their team, now the cadres will be disappointed.”

The gaunt man brushed the dust off his clothes, his tone unhurried, low voice: “The Beastmaster who knows the Earth Bear in the materials is Advisor Chen, right?”

The burly man curled his lips: “Just a consultant from a small place, not worth much.”

The gaunt man’s eyes flickered: “He’s a local, familiar with this area, probably discovered our flaw.”

The burly man stood up: “Forget about it, let’s report this situation to the cadres first.”

The gaunt man responded softly, pulling out a recording pen from the backpack, then started speaking: “Cadre, confirming Professor Song and others have entered the mountain, and are nearing the target area.”

“Plan A failed, our identities may have been exposed, in the opponent’s team…”

“Roar?”

The bear cub playing nearby saw the two who had been lying on the ground stand up, talking to a long object, instantly became interested and slowly approached.

“Go away, play somewhere else, don’t disturb us.” The burly man crossed his thick arms, his face full of impatience.

According to the cadres’ arrangement, they were to avoid conflicts with the research team as much as possible, then find a way to infiltrate the team to obtain information.

If unable to infiltrate, they were to find a way to disperse the research team, weaken them, then wait for further instructions.

But it seemed their squad’s mission had failed, needing to await other members to complete the task.

But this way, it lost the chance to earn a merit and the prospect of promotion to a cadre seemed indefinitely distant.

The gaunt man handed the recording pen he had finished with to the already awake Frost Feather Sparrow, which reached out its claws, gripping tightly, suddenly swung its pale blue wings violently, soaring into the sky.

“Let’s go, follow them.” The gaunt man said.

But he suddenly saw the burly man staring at the bear cub, eyebrows knitting, he said snappily, “Are you seriously matching wits with a wild Pet Beast now?”

The burly man rolled up his sleeves, chuckling with bared teeth: “A bit irritated, need to vent.”

“You have five minutes.” The gaunt man had no interest, and with a thought, a white summoning array floated before him, a Snow Cloud Wolf emerged from it, “Track their scent.”
