Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 54: Cola Already Shows an Invincible Stance
Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Cola Already Shows an Invincible Stance
“Do you go first or should I?”
Zhang Hao and Shao Yang exchanged glances, both eager to begin.
The former had personally witnessed the shocking battle between the Flame Cloud Falcon and the Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle, while the latter had seen the lively scene when the Beastmaster Association grandly presented the plaque, both of them understanding Chen Yuan’s strength.
Fighting against a strong opponent, though brutal, offers much to learn.
As newbie Beastmasters, they both longed to challenge Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan glanced at the two, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and said calmly, “How about both of you come at me together?”
While the two exchanged looks, he patted the Gray-armored Wild Boar and the Fire Dog, both at level 2, combined still lower than Cola’s level.
One-on-one would be a complete crush, unable to gauge real strength.
“Whoa, Yuan, you’re quite bold!” Zhang Hao raised his eyebrow as he heard this.
Shao Yang nodded, smiling, “Indeed, although Mr. Chen is formidable, but…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Hao rolled up his sleeves and interrupted loudly, “Shao Yang, let’s team up and teach Yuan a lesson.”
Shao Yang: “?”
Seeing Shao Yang’s confused face, Zhang Hao coughed and explained, “Shao Yang, his Flame Cloud Falcon is pretty formidable, only through our cooperation can we hope to win.”
Shao Yang instinctively asked, “Is it really that formidable?”
Chen Yuan shook his head and pointed to Cola beside him, “I’ll send out Cola.”
“Woof woof.”
Cola immediately raised its head and barked at the two.
Zhang Hao was initially stunned, then chuckled, “I thought it was the Flame Cloud Falcon, well then, we’ll surely teach you a lesson.”
“For underestimating us.”
Chen Yuan smiled without saying anything.
Moments later,
Xuanhe Village’s first official Pet Beast battle commenced in the courtyard of the rescue station, with Song Guohao as referee and the opposing sides being Chen Yuan, Zhang Hao, and Shao Yang.
“Shao Yang, we need to cooperate,” Zhang Hao said as he stood side by side with Shao Yang, looking down at the poised Fire Dog.
“How do we cooperate?” Shao Yang adjusted his glasses, full of confusion.
Zhang Hao said without hesitation, “My Gray-armored Wild Boar is tough and sturdy, serving as a tank in the game, the Gale Hunting Dog shouldn’t be able to take it down quickly.”
“So, the Gray-armored Wild Boar will draw aggro and tank, while your Fire Dog finds a way to deal damage.”
Shao Yang’s eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment, then nodded, “No problem.”
“Can we start?” Chen Yuan quietly awaited as the two loudly strategized.
“Yes.” The two looked at each other, suppressing their inner excitement and enthusiasm, nodding simultaneously.
Song Guohao shouted, “According to the Pet Beast battle rules, once a Pet Beast from either side loses combat ability, the battle ends.”
“Remember, stop when appropriate.”
“Then, the battle begins!”
With the command, Zhang Hao widened his eyes and shouted hoarsely, “Gray-armored Wild Boar, charge at the Gale Hunting Dog!”
“Huff huff.”
The Gray-armored Wild Boar fixed its black eyes on Cola, its entire gray keratin layer shimmering with a metallic luster under the sunlight. It suddenly rumbled forward like an unstoppable battle chariot, charging at Cola!
The Gray-armored Wild Boar was two to three times larger than Cola, its charge overwhelming with oppression, causing Cola to momentarily freeze.
Chen Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, “Cola, Wind Stepping.”
“Woof woof.”
A gentle breeze suddenly enveloped Cola, as it stepped forward, its speed accelerating as it rushed towards the front left.
Cola’s speed was so quick that, if not paying close attention, one might find it had already crossed several meters.
The Gray-armored Wild Boar had attempted to knock down Cola with its sturdy body but suddenly found it couldn’t keep up with its pace, only perceiving the swirling breeze as Cola’s figure vanished.
“Huff huff.”
The angry Gray-armored Wild Boar immediately turned around, stomping the ground, its massive body again charging towards Cola.
Meanwhile,
Cola’s figure was already closing in on the stationary Fire Dog, the latter waiting for its Beastmaster’s command to counterattack.
But its Beastmaster… Shao Yang, seeing Cola easily evading the Gray-armored Wild Boar and appearing before the Fire Dog, panicked.
What to do?
How to counterattack?
“Use whatever skills you have!” Zhang Hao saw his teammate dazed and immediately shouted.
“Oh oh oh.” Shao Yang snapped out of it and hastily called out, “Use Flaming Fang.”
Flaming Fang, currently the only skill mastered by the Fire Dog.
“Howl～”
Finally receiving its Beastmaster’s command, the Fire Dog’s eyes glowed red, its mouth opened wide filled with Flame Stream, and stepping forward with its robust limbs, it lunged at the nearby Cola.
“Howl～”
With a simple twist and dodge, Cola evaded the Fire Dog’s attack, turning back to gaze at it with a teasing look.
Chen Yuan raised his eyes to observe the front. As the Gray-armored Wild Boar pursued Cola, the three Pet Beasts gradually closed in, a smile appeared on his face, “Cola, Wind Surge.”
“Howl～”
Cola howled up to the sky, a fierce wind surged simultaneously from all directions, raising dust and fallen leaves from the ground, fiercely blowing against the Gray-armored Wild Boar and Fire Dog.
The Gray-armored Wild Boar, with its stable center of gravity as a heavy Pet Beast, stood firm on the ground amidst the howling wind, unaffected, continuing step by step towards Cola.
The Fire Dog, however, was affected by the wind, its body swaying and hair fluttering, seemingly ready to collapse at any second.
Chen Yuan capitalized, “Wind Blade.”
“Howl!”
In the next moment, several Wind Blades formed around Cola, each carrying a fierce aura, like twinkling cold gleams, howling through the wind, striking the two Pet Beasts in succession!
Boom boom boom!
Both Pet Beasts tried to evade the Wind Blades. Though the Gray-armored Wild Boar was heavy and unconfined by the gale, its form was clumsy, making evasion difficult.
Hit by the Wind Blades, the Gray-armored Wild Boar’s tough, steel-like gray skin was instantly grazed; the torrent of pain made it emit a deep roar, its form pausing.
“Gray-armored Wild Boar…” Zhang Hao furrowed his brows, immediately casting a concerned look.
The Fire Dog, restrained by the wind, attempted to dodge in vain, its eyes widening as it was struck by Wind Blades, its coat sliced apart, accumulating numerous wounds.
The sensation of pain spread across its body.
Suddenly, accompanied by a low painful howl, the Fire Dog’s body wobbled and fell to the ground.
[Defeated a Tier One Extraordinary Creature, Source Point +0.1]
The stout Gray-armored Wild Boar held out slightly longer than the Fire Dog, but ultimately fell against the continuous wind and Wind Blade barrage, facing Zhang Hao with a sorrowful moan and toppled with a thunderous crash.
[Defeated a Tier One Extraordinary Creature, Source Point +0.1]
The battle seemed to have swings, yet in just two minutes, the two Extraordinary Creatures fell in succession, unable to resist any longer.
“Howl!”
Seeing both opponents down, Cola raised its head high, eyes flashing confidence, its impressive demeanor astounding the onlookers.
Cola already had an invincible demeanor.
For a moment,
Zhang Hao and Shao Yang stared at their fallen Pet Beasts, plunging into a long silence.
