Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 246 The Invincible Blazing Sky Falcon!
"This means... Yan Yun Falcon has successfully advanced?"

Liu Jinglan stared blankly at the sparks soaring high in the sky, murmuring to himself.

Its elegant and slender body spreads its wings and dances in the dark night sky, its golden and fiery red feathers standing out like a blazing sun shattering the darkness.

Even from a distance, it's clear that Spark's appearance has undergone a dramatic transformation compared to its Yan Yun Falcon era; it's not just a matter of increasing its size.

The most striking feature is its extremely long tail feathers, which account for almost half of its body length. They hang down behind it and fork into seven strands, with the ends of each strand gradually turning into translucent iridescent light.

When Spark takes flight, its tail feathers trail a dazzling seven-colored trail, like a rainbow stretching across the night sky.

Chang Yuhuan promptly pulled out her camera, snapping photos incessantly while muttering, "So beautiful, so beautiful."

If the Fiery Soul Lord of Morning Star quality gives people a feeling of might and domineering, then the current Spark exudes a noble and elegant temperament from the inside out. Just one glance is enough to be captivated by its extraordinary temperament.

"Ow"

Cola opened her eyes wide and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure high in the sky, her eyes filled with an unusually complex emotion.

Perhaps it was envy, or resentment, or regret.
A mix of thoughts swirled in his mind, but in the end, Cola wagged his tail and raised his mouth upwards.

In any case, the boss is stronger, so the owner will be safer from now on!
And it won't be long before I, Cola, can also advance and be just as popular as the boss now!

Cola's eyes sparkled. Although it hadn't collected all the advanced resources yet, it had already begun to imagine the amazing scene when it advanced.

It will definitely be even more exciting than the boss's show!
"Yingying~"

Gazing at the distinctly different eldest sister, yet sensing the same aura, the twin concubines danced joyfully, their faces beaming with smiles.

After a while, the twin concubines looked at Chen Yuan's profile, their eyes flashing.

After evolving, will I be as powerful as my "mother"?

Can you turn a sapling into a towering tree with a wave of your hand?
The twin flower concubines tilted their little heads, their faces full of anticipation for evolution.

"That's wonderful." Gazing at the sparks that hovered high in the sky for a long time, and staring at the completely different figures, Chen Yuan's face lit up with a genuine smile, and scenes flashed through his mind.

Starting with the initial fire-breathing bird, after healing its wounds, you form a contract with it by offering generous terms of food and lodging, thus embarking on a path of growth and progress together.

Although it has only been two or three months, the two of them have trained and lived together, and before they knew it, they had gone through so much and defeated one strong enemy after another.

The proud little bird that started out has also evolved over time, gradually changing from the form of an ordinary Flame Cloud Falcon to its current elegant and noble appearance.

Can Spark still be called a falcon now?
Could it have evolved into another kind of creature?
Chen Yuan was incredibly curious about the evolved Spark, but instead of recalling the soaring Spark, he let it enjoy the envious gazes of the crowd and familiarize itself with its evolved body.

after awhile,

Spark folded its wide wings and gradually descended, getting closer and closer to the ground.

As it approached the ground, Spark's massive body immediately cast a shadow, and with a gentle flap of its wings, it stirred up a cloud of dust, which only subsided when it landed beside Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan raised his head, his gaze shifting upwards to meet a pair of golden-red vertical pupils, reflecting the current appearance of Huo Hua in his eyes.

The spark was now more than a meter taller than him, and its standing height was at least three meters. He had to look up to see its appearance clearly.

Its neck is long and slender like a swan's, and its streamlined body is as exquisite and delicate as a jade carving formed by flames. A cluster of flame-shaped crest feathers grows on the top of the body. The base color of the feathers is a fiery red like flames, and the edges of the feathers are rendered with a gold gradient, adding a touch of nobility.

Its gaze shifts downwards, revealing long, slender legs and claws as hardened as crystal, automatically generating iridescent ripples beneath its feet upon landing.

"It's so beautiful!" Chen Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

If the initial spark was more petite and cute, it gained an extra touch of elegance after evolving into a leader, and now it is simply the epitome of magnificence and nobility.

Only by observing it closely up close can one truly appreciate its charm.

Indeed, evolution is the best way to change a pet, bar none.

All eyes were on the sparks; no one spoke, only the clicking of camera shutters filled the air.

Xia Heng first glanced at the earth-shattering sparks, then looked at the raging crocodile beside him, and for a moment they stared at each other, speechless.

Is this the guy they're going to fight later?
Xia Heng fell into deep thought, beginning to doubt whether his choice was correct.

Despite being stared at by many eyes, Spark didn't care at all. Her golden-red eyes stared at Chen Yuan, who was close at hand, for a long time. Suddenly, she lowered her head and moved closer.

A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face as he slowly reached out and stroked Spark's head.

Despite its drastically changed appearance, it still feels nice to the touch and has a faint warmth, making it perfect as a hand warmer in the cold winter.

With a thought, Spark's current data panel came into view, and it also underwent a great change.

[First time collecting the Blazing Sky Falcon, Source Points increased by 10]

【Race: Blazing Sky Falcon (Collected)】

Favorability: 95

Quality: Morning Star

Requirements for promoting to the quality of Dawn Moon: Insufficient Source Points

Upon seeing Spark's data panel, even the usually composed Chen Yuan couldn't help but experience rapid breathing and emotional agitation.

First of all, Spark's race has indeed changed, from the original Flame Cloud Falcon to the Blazing Sky Rainbow Falcon.

But it remains a pet falcon.

The two characters “炽霄” are easy to understand, but “霓” made Chen Yuan look thoughtful.

The word "霓" can actually be understood as a rainbow halo. Chen Yuan recalled the seven-colored light trails left by the sparks as they flew and nodded in realization: "So this word originated from here. It's quite fitting."

Furthermore, after successfully evolving, Spark's attributes indeed gained the Light attribute, just as Chen Yuan had guessed, and its level was increased from level 21 to level 23.

Next comes the main event of evolution, where Spark awakens two brand-new skills.

One of them is [Radiant Light], which is obviously a light-based skill, but its specific effects still need to be tested.

The second is [Rainbow Blaze], which sounds like a large-scale group attack skill, but it also needs to be tested.

"Neon Fire Spreads Across the Plains, this must be Spark's racial skill, right?" Chen Yuan's eyes flashed as he pondered to himself.

My brother said that when a pet advances to the Morning Star level, it will awaken a unique racial skill that other races cannot master.

"Rainbow Blaze" was a skill Chen Yuan had never heard of before, and the name fit the Spark's current race name, so it seemed to be a racial skill unique to the Blazing Sky Falcon.

Chen Yuan was full of anticipation for Spark's two newly awakened skills. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Xia Heng: "How about a thrilling and exciting pet battle?"

Combat is the best way to test the effectiveness of skills.

This was a rare instance of Consultant Chen taking the initiative to challenge someone.

In an instant, all the beast tamers turned to look at Xia Heng, even Murati forcibly suppressed his sympathy and looked over with anticipation.

They were eager to know Spark's current combat capabilities, whether they had become unbelievably overpowered.
Meeting the gazes of many, Xia Heng pursed his lips and fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

The expectant gazes of the crowd put immense pressure on him, making it impossible for him to refuse. Finally, he opened his mouth, his voice hoarse: "Okay."

After all, he was the one who first proposed this battle, and even if Spark's strength has greatly increased, he cannot back down at the last minute.

Even if it's that strong, it can't possibly kill the Raging Crocodile in one hit, right?
A moment later, the evolved Blazing Sky Falcon and Raging Tide Crocodile stood on either side, gazing at each other from afar, waiting for the battle to begin.

The Blazing Falcon hovered five meters in the air, its seven iridescent tail feathers cascading down like a rainbow, and its fiery crest glowing brightly in the night.

"Hydraulic cannon." Xia Heng gave the order first, his face serious.

Even if Spark becomes stronger after its evolution, it is still a fire-type pet. It will definitely suffer severe damage if hit by the water pressure cannon!
"Roar!"

The raging crocodile, its expression ferocious, opened its mouth and spat out a powerful burst of water bubbles that pierced through the air!

"Chirp~"

Without waiting for Chen Yuan's command, Spark Fan rose up with elegant movements, effortlessly dodging the surging bubbles, and then gazed high at the raging crocodiles on the ground.

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened, and a thought flashed through his mind: "A prairie fire."

Let's try out his most anticipated racial skill first and see what makes it so special.

Seeing that Spark was beginning to prepare an unprecedented move, Xia Heng wisely told the Raging Crocodile to calm down and did not continue to make moves to try to interrupt it.

Firstly, Consultant Chen has extensive practical experience. Since he directly allowed Spark to use a new move, he must have been prepared. Interrupting him would not be a wise move.

Secondly, he was also quite curious about the moves Spark had mastered, and he wanted to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with them so that he would be better prepared for the next battle.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Spark folded its wings, its body arched like a crescent moon, its fiery red feathers stood upright, and golden halos suddenly shone brightly at the edges, its whole body burning with conspicuous golden flames!
The flames were as brilliant as the golden sun, their light piercing through the thick clouds and almost illuminating the entire night sky.

"Roar?"

As night falls, some wild animals, just as they are about to rest and enjoy the cool of the night, suddenly see the sun rising. In a daze, they think it is already dawn and let out a confused roar.

However, in the next instant, the brilliant golden sun burst forth with its most dazzling light in the sky, almost blinding all creatures on the ground, who could only hear a vast and terrifying sound ringing in their ears.

When I opened my eyes again, a vast expanse of seven-colored rainbow feathers came into view. I didn't know when they had appeared, but each rainbow feather was wrapped in a stream of flames, pouring down like a torrential rain.

Countless seven-colored rainbow feathers linked together, and raging flames spread outwards, as if countless sparks were falling downwards, creating a magnificent and terrifying scene.

In that instant, the night seemed to be ignited by sparks.

These sparks did not fall in a straight line, but rather spiraled down in rhythm with the swaying of the tail feathers, like a meticulously choreographed ballet of fire.

Chen Yuan silently raised his eyes, watching this scene, and murmured, "It really does live up to the name, 'Rainbow Fire Spreads Across the Plains'."

Murat's eyelids twitched, and he muttered, "Is this still a Tier 3 pet?"

His Tier 3 pet is quite different from Consultant Chen's Tier 3 pet.

Liu Jinglan's eyes widened, his expression excited. He clenched his fists and hissed in a low voice, "This is the strength a fire-type pet should have!"

"Crimson Flame Ox, one day you can be like that too."

"Moo?"

The Crimson Flame Ox looked up at the grand scene before it, its eyes filled with undisguised suspicion.

ah? me?

If even the bystanders reacted this way, Xia Heng's reaction was naturally predictable. He stared blankly at the sky filled with sparks for a long while, then took a deep breath, and a thought suddenly occurred to him: "Raging Crocodile." "Roar?"

The raging crocodile watched as a spark crashed to the ground, the explosion resounding and waves of fire surging. Its body trembled slightly as it struggled to look away, awaiting the Beastmaster's command.

Do beast tamers have any other solutions in this situation?
"run."

"Run!"

Xia Heng's voice echoed in the mind of the raging crocodile, who turned around and looked at him with shock in his eyes.

Xia Heng remained silent.

Seeing this, the raging crocodile didn't care about anything else. Sometimes it manipulated its huge body to dodge left and right among the falling sparks, and sometimes it opened its mouth to spew out columns of water to repel the sparks.

The falling sparks seemed endless, and before the raging crocodile could even look up to observe, a deafening explosion resounded in its ears.

boom!
Suddenly, a seven-colored rainbow feather, accompanied by sparks, exploded overhead. The raging crocodile felt a sinking sensation on its back, its body collapsing. The shockwave from the explosion made it pause, followed by intense pain.

Boom boom!

At that very instant, several more rainbow feathers seized the opportunity to explode one after another at the head and tail of the Raging Crocodile, sparks flying and explosions booming, the Raging Crocodile was covered by billowing black smoke.

When the fire stopped, the black smoke dissipated, and the night returned to calm, Xia Heng looked ahead with the help of the starlight—the raging crocodile, covered in wounds, lay sprawled in a deep pit, looking miserable.

Xia Heng stared blankly, falling into a long silence.

Murat slowly walked to Xia Heng's side, gently patted the latter's shoulder, and sighed without saying a word.

He had said long ago that Xia Heng shouldn't have come back.

"chirp"

Spark folded its wings, its figure light and elegant, and slowly landed beside Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked closely and realized that Huohua's breathing was a little rapid and her condition was obviously not good.

"It seems that this skill consumes a lot of Spark's stamina."

After receiving feedback from Spark, Chen Yuan became even more certain of his guess.

After using the "Rainbow Blaze" skill, Spark's stamina dropped by more than half, and he could not use it again for a short period of time.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but recall his battle with the Blazing Soul Flame Lord yesterday.

The racial skill used by the Blazing Soul Flame Lord was blocked by Spark's Flame Storm. In the ensuing battle, he was clearly no match for Spark, and his greatsword was almost taken away.

Looking back now, I think that the Blazing Soul Flame Lord back then must have been in the same situation as Spark now, with his physical strength greatly reduced, to the point that he couldn't hold the heavy sword steady.

"The 'Rainbow Fire' can only be used as a last resort, to deliver the final blow at crucial moments." Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly as he quickly made up his mind.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan looked ahead. Upon seeing the raging crocodile lying unconscious on the ground, he shook his head helplessly: "It seems we can't experiment with the Radiant Illumination."

After a fierce battle, everyone discussed the matter endlessly. Xia Heng silently treated the wounds of the raging crocodile, while Spark approached Chen Yuan, slowly lowered his body, and revealed his broad back.

Chen Yuan was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

"Chirp~"

Golden red eyes flashed, and the idea of ​​sparks appeared in Chen Yuan's mind.

It wanted to test whether it could carry Chen Yuan in flight.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he became excited.

You know what, Spark is two or three times bigger than the rest of the plane, and with its broad back that can carry people, it might actually be able to carry itself to fly!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan had already taken a step forward, reached out to touch the soft feathers of the spark, and then flipped over and leaped onto the latter's back.

The fiery crest on Spark's head suddenly brightened, and the golden halo around the edges of the fiery red feathers flickered like breathing.

Everyone looked over, and Spark flapped its broad wings, stirring up a gale. A clear whistle pierced the night: "Chirp!"

The instant the spark soared into the air, Chen Yuan leaned down and pressed himself against its streamlined back, his black, tousled hair swaying with the air currents, his hands gently grasping the spark's feathers.

His eyes held both excitement and nervousness.

Admittedly, he is not afraid of heights and has even tried the thrill of bungee jumping before, but being carried by a pet animal was a completely new experience for him.

At this point in time, there are countless pets capable of flying, but very few pets capable of carrying people.

Perhaps considering that Chen Yuan needed time to adapt, the sparks rose slowly and gently, allowing Chen Yuan to ignore the blowing air currents. He looked down at the shrinking cola and waved with a smile, "Cola, let's go!"

"Yingying~"

The twin flower concubines crawled out of Chen Yuan's shirt pocket, slid down his arm, and landed on Spark's back, feeling the softness of the feathers, while waving at Cola.

I'm going with "Mom" now~
"Ouch! Ouch!"

Seeing the eldest sister carrying her master and twin concubines gradually rise higher and their figures rapidly shrink, Cola immediately panicked and chased after them, howling all the way.

Master, don't leave me!!!
Despite flying at breakneck speed, Spark, who had deliberately controlled its speed, managed not to leave Cola behind.

Sparks flew high into the air, while the frantically shouting Cola chased after them on the ground.

"Ow!"

Cola looked up, her expression filled with grief and indignation.

I must learn to fly!!!

Everyone laughed.

mid-air,
Once Chen Yuan had fully adapted to the current flight speed, Spark spread its wide wings completely, casting a shadow that stretched for at least five meters across the barren land, only to be illuminated by a rainbow in the next second.

The seven-colored trails trailing behind the tail feathers resembled a celestial being wielding a brush, freely painting across the dense, dark sky.

The dazzling seven-colored light trails were not static, but constantly changed with the trajectory of the sparks: when they spun rapidly, they resembled a swirling nebula, and when they climbed, they looked like a waterfall cascading from the sky.

The sound of wind filled Chen Yuan's ears, but it wasn't a biting cold current—the heat radiating from Spark made the air warm, so even at high altitudes, he didn't feel the cold at all.

But with the strong wind blowing so hard he could barely open his eyes, Chen Yuan's thoughts were racing: "Next time I must wear goggles!"

He was initially worried that the strong air currents might blow him off when he was airborne, but it turned out that Spark's body seemed to block most of the air currents for him, and its broad back allowed him to lie down comfortably without worrying about being blown away by the gale.

But the slight gust of air that slipped in made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Chen Yuan was very curious about the scene below, so he forced himself to open his eyes despite the howling wind and looked down.

The Flaming Mountains stand majestically, with raging fires blazing atop them. Only by looking down from above can one fully appreciate this breathtaking scene and feel a sense of awe.

Surrounding the Flaming Mountain, the desolate land lay silent in the pitch-black night, the thick, accumulated clouds obscuring the view, yet Chen Yuan glimpsed the grandeur of the world through them.

This experience is completely different from flying.

With one's body completely exposed to the air, without any protection or cover, the sight is even more breathtaking.

"Cola, I'm sorry, I got to experience flying first."

"You should find a way to learn to fly yourself and experience it for yourself."

Chen Yuan could no longer see Cola, but he could sense through his mental power that Cola was not far from him.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan gently touched the back of Huohua's neck, saying, "Alright, let's go back first."

The experience of flying is just for now; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's go back and reunite with everyone and leave the Flaming Mountain together.

"Chirp~"

Spark let out a soft hum, then turned around and carried Chen Yuan back to where everyone was.

Once the sparks landed steadily on the ground, Chen Yuan jumped down. Liu Jingyi, who was standing nearby, quickly ran over, her eyes full of envy: "Brother Chen Yuan, was it fun?"

"It's quite interesting, completely different from flying," Chen Yuan replied with a smile.

Liu Jingyi raised her hand high: "I want to try too!"

Liu Jinglan coughed lightly: "Why are you trying this? It looks very dangerous. You'd better not try it."

After saying that, Liu Jinglan changed the subject and said to Chen Yuan with a grin, "Advisor Chen, I'm not afraid of danger, I'll give it a try first."

Liu Jingyi was furious: "Brother!"

After calming the two noisy individuals down, Chen Yuan looked at everyone and asked, "The competition should be over by now, right?"

Jiang Hu strode forward and replied, "Advisor Chen, the competition is over, and you are in first place."

This result did not surprise Chen Yuan. He nodded and said, "Then let's go back first."

Everyone agreed in unison. Unconsciously, they had come to regard Chen Yuan as their leader and obeyed his orders in everything.

"Ow~"

Suddenly, Cola's voice rang in his ears. Chen Yuan turned his head and saw Cola rushing over and knocking him to the ground. Cola's wet, hot tongue licked his cheek.

Chen Yuan reached out and patted Kele's head, his voice gentle: "Don't worry, we won't abandon you."

"Ow!"

Cola wagged its tail, recovering from its previous grief and anger, and secretly made up its mind: Once I learn to fly, I will also carry my owner away in a fake way, so that the boss will come after us!
The night was deep, and the sky was full of stars.

The group left the Flaming Mountain and headed towards the Beastmaster's Office.

There were no more traces of the Wandering Fire Spirits along the way, but instead, they saw the figures of wild pet beasts.

Two familiar figures appeared high in the sky. The Flaming Eagle and the Blazing Sun Eagle had been following them all along, their clear cries filled with longing.

Liu Jingyi turned to look at the Fiery Eagle on her shoulder and smiled faintly: "Little Eagle, go find your mom and dad."

　I've tried AI drawing for a long time, but it doesn't feel quite the same as I imagined. You should use your imagination; what you imagine is the most beautiful.
