Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 210: One Night of Coke's Power

Night Shadow Nightmare Cat is a dark pet. There is very little information about it on the official website of Beast Tamer.

Dark pets usually come and go without a trace, often appearing in the dark, making it difficult to collect information about them.

This Nightmare Shadow Cat is obviously the leader of this group of stray cats. It meets both the "cat pet" and "dark element" conditions. It seems that it is the culprit who kidnapped the children.

But why would a cat do such a thing?
Chen Yuan didn’t know the reason for the time being, but he wanted to delay time as much as possible so that Nie Li and Luo Xian could arrive.

A quick glance revealed that there were at least dozens of stray cats. Although their strength was average, the constant meowing was enough to make people feel annoyed, not to mention their combined fighting ability.

Chen Yuan could handle it, but the wild boar and white fern were still by his side, which would inevitably affect his performance.

The Nightmare Shadow Cat did not answer Chen Yuan's question. Its figure was hidden in the shadows. From a distance, one could only see a pair of dark green eyes drifting in the night.

It approached the thundercat and the fallen stray cats.

"Meow meow meow!"

The fallen stray cats meowed in grief and anger, and even the stray cats that came rushing over joined in the meowing that seemed like it would never stop. Only the Nightmare Shadow Cat remained calm and just looked at them deeply.

Bright lights lit up in the nearby buildings, and the sound of windows being pushed open was heard, but they were quickly slammed shut.

The boar said in a muffled voice, "I have a feeling that our investigation department will receive a large number of complaints tomorrow."

Bai Jue said calmly, "They don't know that it's our Investigation Department that's handling the case. Can't they just pass the blame to the Pet Investigation Office?"

The boar's eyes lit up: "Good idea."

But their conversation soon stopped as stray cats were slowly approaching, meowing one after another, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

"Advisor Chen, what should we do now?" Shanzhu sensed a hint of danger, slowly approached Chen Yuan, and asked in a low voice.

Chen Yuan's eyes fell on the Nightmare Shadow Cat. He asked an irrelevant question without panicking, "If public facilities are destroyed during the mission, who will pay for it?"

Shanzhu was stunned, obviously not expecting Chen Yuan to suddenly ask this question. Consultant Chen's focus seemed to be different from others.

Bai Fen, on the other hand, reacted quickly and replied: "Advisor Chen, all losses during the mission will be borne by the Investigation Department."

"Okay." Chen Yuan felt relieved.

If it were in the wild, he could certainly command his pets to fight without any scruples, but this was in a city with a large population, so he had to be cautious.

As pets become stronger, the destructive power they cause in battle becomes greater and greater, and if you are not careful they will have an impact on the surrounding environment.

If you win the battle, but receive a huge compensation bill afterwards, it will not be worth it.

"Advisor Chen, should we take the initiative?" Seeing the stray cats surrounding the three of them, the wild boar swallowed secretly.

Chen Yuan looked around and said after a moment's hesitation: "Looking at the current situation, we have no choice but to take the initiative."

The hostility in the eyes of the stray cats was not concealed at all; even the Nightmare Shadow Cats gave them a cold look. It was obvious that a melee was inevitable.

In this case, it is extremely important to take the initiative.

Chen Yuan's eyes condensed, and a thought came to his mind: "Coke, the wind is surging."

"Ow!"

Almost at this moment, Coke suddenly raised his head, and violent airflow gushed out from his body, spreading in all directions.

In an instant, dust flew.

"Meow meow meow!"

The stray cats that were close to Coke were immediately swept away by the strong wind, their bodies swaying and almost falling down. Even if they struggled hard, they could hardly escape the control of the strong wind.

At this moment, the Nightmare Shadow Cat, which had been silent all the time, suddenly lowered its body, and its entire body seemed to blend into the shadow covering the alley. Its speed suddenly increased, and the shadow spread to Coke's feet.

Following the shadow came the coldly shining claws, and the Nightmare Shadow Cat approached Coke in an instant!
"Walk on the wind." Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he issued the order in time.

"Ow!"

Coke took a half step back and activated the Wind Walk. The airflow exploding from the soles of his feet pushed him three meters vertically, and his sharp claws whizzed past his ears.

Looking up, Cola was met with a pair of indifferent green eyes.

"This Dire Shadow Cat captured those children with this skill." Chen Yuan thought to himself.

The skill that the Dire Shadowcat just used was a dark skill, Shadow Assault, which could blend the body into the shadows for a split second, equivalent to an unpredictable assault skill.

Simply put, it can walk with the help of shadows and approach the opponent without being noticed.

In this way, not only is it difficult for ordinary people to find its whereabouts, even cameras cannot capture its figure.

"No wonder Captain Luo didn't find any trace of the suspect for several days." Chen Yuan suddenly realized.

At the same time, the rest of the stray cats launched an attack together. Although their individual strength was average, they had the advantage of being numerous, and together they made it difficult for the wild boar and white fern to cope with them.

The two people's pets quickly showed signs of weakness, with claw marks appearing on their bodies.

Fortunately, Sparks and the Twin Concubines did not stand idly by.

Without Chen Yuan's command, the twin flower concubines in the form of night stood on Chen Yuan's shoulders. Their purple eyes seemed to be able to see through the darkness. They gently waved their petal-shaped hands, and a light pink mist instantly emerged.

Then, the Twin Flower Concubine gently shook her fingers, and the mist drifted towards the stray cats.

"Meow!"

When the Thunder Cat saw this scene, its fluffy hair instantly exploded and it let out a quick, alert cry.

When it was fighting with the red tabby cat during the day, it was attacked by the fog and fainted!
Get out of the way!
The stray cats quickly scattered and hid everywhere with their cat steps, but the fog under the control of the Twin Flower Concubines seemed to have eyes and fell on several stray cats.

"Meow"

The next moment, endless sleepiness swept over them. The stray cats yawned, stretched their bodies lazily, and then lay on their sides on the cold ground, revealing their soft bellies, and fell into a deep sleep.

The attack was effective, and the group of stray cats became furious and rushed towards the twin concubines with angry steps.

"Groan."

The Twin Flower Concubine had a cold expression on her face, with purple-black energy balls surging in her palms. Dozens of spores shot out and pounced on the stray cats approaching her like living things.

The next second, spores exploded on the bodies of the stray cats, and dark purple mucus instantly flowed through their hair.

"Meow!"

The stray cats all screamed miserably, and spider-web-like blue-black blood vessels appeared on their bodies.

These screams immediately frightened the other stray cats. They braked suddenly and stopped where they were. Their eyes were filled with fear and panic as they looked at the Twin Flower Concubines. For a moment, no cat dared to approach.

"Groan."

The Twin Flower Concubine had an indifferent expression. With the help of Chen Yuan, it landed on the ground, dragging its long skirt as it approached the stray cats.

Every time it took a step forward, the stray cats would take a step back in unison, and this cycle repeated over and over again. The stray cats were forced into a corner by this little guy and dared not move, only whimpering in fear could be heard.

Don't come over here!
With the help of the twin flower concubines, Bai Fern felt much less pressure. She turned her head to look at the twin flower concubines, who were small in size but had an oppressive aura. She felt that the image of the cute, gentle and kind twin flower concubines during the day was quickly collapsing in her mind.

"Is this little guy so powerful?" The wild boar looked puzzled.

"This is Consultant Chen's pet." Bai Fen reminded.

"Oh." The boar nodded, "That makes sense."

Compared to the twin concubines who oppress a group of stray cats alone, the pressure brought by the sparks is even more terrifying.

It just hovered in the air, with flames emanating from its body illuminating the night sky. It did not launch any attacks, but it frightened a group of stray cats so much that they froze in place, their limbs going limp, and they dared not move rashly.

If a stray cat tries to move, its sharp eyes will lock onto it, hot sparks will surge in its beak, and its terrifying aura will crush them like a mountain.

In this way, although Sparks did not actively attack, it frightened a large group of stray cats.

This was the result of Chen Yuan's special instructions.

He just observed again. Although this group of stray cats is large in number, they are composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and their strength is very average. They may be seriously injured if the sparks and flames surge down.

Moreover, this place is located in the urban area, and Chen Yuan does not want to cause a fire. The damage caused by that would be far greater than the impact caused by the incident itself.

Anyway, the strongest Dire Shadowcat was held up by Coke, and the other second-level Thundercat was injured and fell to the ground unable to move. All he needed to do was scare the other stray cats, or put them into a coma like the Twin Flower Concubines did.

As a result, the wild boar and white fern, who were originally in a tough battle, were suddenly free of pressure. They first used healing spray to heal their pets, and then stayed where they were doing nothing.

"It seems that the two of us are useless." The wild boar suddenly spoke.

Bai Fen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you even need to tell me that?"

The two fell silent at the same time. They couldn't help but think of the operation to capture the poaching team. It was their first time to go out on a mission. They thought they would experience a hard fight and a lot of fighting. In the end, they arrived at the scene with trepidation and found that the poaching team had been controlled. They only needed to clean up the battlefield.

The situation this time seemed to be exactly the same as that time. They just had to stand aside and watch Consultant Chen display his prowess.

"It feels so good to hug someone powerful." Bai Fen couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just quite boring." Shanzhu crossed his arms across his chest, somewhat uncomfortable with this situation. He would rather complete the task through his own efforts and win everyone's praise.

Bai Fern glanced at the wild boar and said, "Do you want to carry out the mission with Consultant Chen?"

The boar blurted out: "I want to!"

At this moment, the cell phone in Bai Fern's pocket vibrated slightly. She took it out and answered the call.

"I just received news that something happened over there?" Nie Li spoke at a very fast speed.

White Fern nodded: "Yes, Captain, the suspect showed up with a group of stray cats."

Nie Li spoke quickly: "Try to avoid fighting, we will be there soon."

Hearing this, White Fern looked at the stray cats that were frightened by the twin flower concubines and sparks, and pursed his lips: "Captain, you don't have to be too anxious."

Nie Li was startled: "Hmm?"

White Fern said in a complicated tone: "By the time you arrive, the battle should be almost over."

Nie Li: “.”

Nie Li: "Advisor Chen took action?"

"Captain is really smart." White Fern raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of smile, "The Wild Boar and I are watching the battle. There is no need for us to take any action."

After a pause, she continued, "Instead of rushing over here, I think you should bring more cages. There are quite a lot of stray cats here. Then find a way to deal with the complaints from the public. Many residents nearby may not be able to sleep well tonight."

Nie Li was silent for a moment, then said, "Yeah."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Fern stretched and sighed: "It was such an easy mission."

At this moment, Coke had already fought with the Dire Shadowcat for several rounds.

Compared to other stray cats, this Dire Shadow Cat is several levels stronger, and even Coke can't take it down in a short time.

The main reason is that the skills of the Dire Shadow Cat are too disgusting. Its body is like a ghost. It can attack suddenly, but it can also hide in the shadows to avoid attacks, which makes Coke angry.

The shadow spread across the ground, and the figure of the Nightmare Shadow Cat disappeared again. Cola lowered his body, his blue eyes scanning the surroundings, and his muscles tensed.

The breeze blew through the alley, but it couldn't blow away the thick night color.

"Close your eyes and lock on its scent." Chen Yuan had an idea.

Coke obeyed obediently, closed his eyes and lowered his head, his breathing gradually becoming calmer as he tracked the scent of the Nightmare Shadow Cat in the darkness.

The broken moonlight fell on the ground beneath his feet. The shadow in front of Coke suddenly squirmed. The smell of the Nightmare Shadow Cat filled his nose. Coke's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he took a step back without hesitation.

The next moment, the Nightmare Shadow Cat suddenly jumped out, its black body blending into the night, and its dark green eyes appeared in Coke's eyes before its sharp claws wrapped in cold light.

"Wind Blade." Chen Yuan's eyes focused.

"Ow!"

The moment Kele dodged the claws, his eyes lit up, and a series of wind blades wrapped in sharp aura suddenly shot out from his body, shooting out one after another!
The Direcat once again hid in the shadows, causing the wind blade to miss its target and hit the ground with a deafening sound.

"Ouch!"

Although the attack failed, Coke was somewhat excited.

Even if the Direcat disappears into the shadows, you can still avoid it by its scent.

In this way, the Dire Shadow Cat will have nowhere to hide from him.

However, the next moment, a black mist gushed out from the shadow corner and spread around in an instant, plunging the entire alley into sticky darkness.

"Dark skill, turbid fog and maze." Chen Yuan said softly.

Once the fog appears, it will interfere with the opponent's vision, but you can enjoy a speed bonus when traveling through the fog.

But I saw a ghostly figure looming in the turbid fog. The Nightmare Shadow Cat kept running back and forth, changing its position, and its scent filled the surroundings.

"Ow"

Coke looked around and made a slightly uneasy sound.

It felt the scent of the Dire Shadow Cats in every corner, making it impossible to avoid its attacks in advance.

"This Dire Shadow Cat is so disgusting." The boar smacked his lips.

After discovering that his skill [Shadow Gap Assault] was cracked by Coke, he immediately changed his tactics. It was obvious that the Dire Shadowcat had rich combat experience.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Coke."

"Ouch?"

Coke pricked up his ears and looked up blankly.

"Let it be windy." Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

"Ow!"

Coke instantly understood his master's thoughts. His eyes showed excitement and he suddenly raised his head. A gust of wind blew up from his body and swept through the entire alley at an astonishing speed.

There were gusts of strong wind, making a whistling sound. Chen Yuan's black hair was swaying, his clothes were flying, and he stared ahead - the turbid fog quickly dissipated under the strong wind, revealing the figure of the Nightmare Shadow Cat.

It obviously didn't realize that the fog would dissipate in this way, and there was a hint of obvious surprise in its eyes.

"Take advantage of now and attack from the air vortex." Chen Yuan had this thought.

"Ow!"

The moment the turbid mist dissipated, the wind began to stir, Coke's light brown hair flew wildly, and his toes created circles of light blue ripples.

Cola charged forward, his limbs stepping on the ripples, his body leaping several meters in an instant, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom, and the friction between the wind vortex and the air produced pale blue sparks.

boom!
All he could hear was a loud bang ringing in his ears, and the Nightmare Shadow Cat looked up blankly. The high-speed rotating airflow had already enveloped his entire body, constantly tearing at his black hair.

The next moment, the Nightmare Shadow Cat finally let out a shrill scream, and its body was pushed backwards by a huge force.

Boom!
The Dire Shadow Cat fell heavily to the ground and did not get up for a long time. The shadow covering the alley quietly dissipated.

“Meow meow meow!”

Seeing the Dire Shadow Cat fall down, the stray cats suddenly became excited and ran towards the Dire Shadow Cat one after another regardless of the intimidation from Sparks and Twin Flower Concubines.

“Meow meow meow!”

After a while, these stray cats surrounded the Nightmare Shadow Cat in the middle and cast angry glances at Chen Yuan and the other two.

The shadow brought by the Dire Shadow Cat has dissipated, but this group of stray cats has become the shadow at this moment, sheltering it in the innermost part.

Seeing this, Shanzhu muttered softly: "We are becoming more and more like a villain organization."

Hearing this, Bai Fern glared at the wild boar and said, "Don't forget those children who were taken away."

The wild boar's eyes suddenly became clear.

Yes, it is obvious that the behavior of these stray cats is too bad, otherwise the current scene would not appear at all.

"Ow!"

At this moment, Coke held his head high, walked slowly forward with calm steps, stared forward with a disdainful look, and his mouth slightly raised.

Let you chase me first!
Now you know how powerful Coke is, right?
Without the help of the big sister, I defeated the cat boss on my own, and this battle was a great achievement!
Coke's expression became more and more proud, but when it met a pair of dark green eyes and saw those lame, blind, malnourished stray cats, it suddenly fell into deep silence.

For a moment, Kele was unable to move forward or backward, so he had to look back at Chen Yuan with a confused look in his eyes, and whimpered in confusion: "Ah?"

Master, did I do something wrong?
Chen Yuan squatted down, smiled and rubbed Kele's head: "Not only are you right, you did a great job."

"Ow"

Hearing the praise from his owner, Coke was so happy that he wanted to jump up and down on the spot, but the stray cats that were cuddling together and protecting the Nightmare Shadow Cat made him inexplicably anxious.

Chen Yuan did not approach the group of stray cats that were like barrels of explosives. He kept a safe distance, a layer of light blue mental barrier appeared around him, he looked forward and said loudly: "I only care about one thing now, are those children okay?"
