Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 254 The Blazing Sky Falcon brought light and set the sky ablaze.

"Chirp!"

When the clear, melodious chirping pierced through the dense clouds and reached everyone's ears, everyone instinctively raised their heads and looked up at the high sky.

Thick clouds blocked the previously gentle sunlight, making the weather gloomy and overcast. The loud noise caused by the Thousand Ridges Lark made everyone's mood even heavier.

Where did that sound come from?

However, the next moment, the largest dark cloud was parted, like a black cotton candy split in two, slowly revealing a graceful and noble figure.

The sky suddenly brightened.

A delicate and exquisite body came into view, covered with golden and red feathers, with faint golden flames burning brightly, and long tail feathers trailing out a dazzling seven-colored light trail, scattering rainbow light fragments all over the sky.

As it flew by, the dark clouds dispersed, the sky brightened, and sunlight shone upon the world.

Beautiful, so beautiful.

Everyone was so captivated by the unparalleled beauty of this strange pet that they momentarily forgot about the Thousand-ridged Rock Grass that was ravaging Daping Village.

Someone asked, "What kind of pet is this?"

Some people exclaimed sincerely, "There is a kind of beauty and power that does not conform to the low-level pets."

Some pets are just that special; they don't need to emit any aura. They only need to stand there quietly, and everyone can immediately sense their power.

The Blazing Sky Falcon is just like that.

"Quack quack!"

Runrun Duck was excited when it saw the Blazing Falcon soaring high in the sky and flapped its wings vigorously.

Duck, I'm here!

"Electricity."

Seeing Runrun Duck's reaction, Dian Dian Flying Cat knew something was wrong and stretched out its paw to stop it, its expression serious.

Hey, this isn't the boss!
This is a pet I've never seen before!
We mustn't provoke it!
As the smartest little guy on the farm, Electric Flying Cat knows which pets you can mess with and which you absolutely must not mess with.

The guy in front of me belongs to the latter category.

"Quack~"

Runrun Duck shook its head, rarely refuting Dian Dian Fei Mao's judgment.

It pointed its wing at the Blazing Falcon, its gaze unwavering.

This is the boss!

"Electricity?"

Electric Flying Cat tilted its head, its eyes full of confusion.

Even I, the smartest person, couldn't figure it out, so how did Duck figure it out?

"quack!"

Runrun Duck bent its wings and put its hands on its hips. Its previous fear of the Thousand-ridged Rock Grasshopper had long since dissipated, and its smile was slightly arrogant.

It's very simple; the boss has a special aura about her.

"electricity?"

Electric Flying Cat was even more puzzled. He stared at the Blazing Sky Falcon for a long time, but he couldn't sense any special scent from the duck's mouth.

"quack!"

It's the invincible aura that belongs only to the eldest sister!

Electric Flying Cat's eyes widened suddenly, its face filled with disbelief: "Electric?"

Can you still detect this aura?
As the two little ones were discussing, the Blazing Sky Falcon, which had been circling high in the sky for a long time, suddenly began to descend. Its figure gradually became clearer, and at the same time, the figure on its back came into view.

"Electricity!"

Upon seeing Chen Yuan on the back of the Blazing Sky Falcon, the Electric Flying Cat was struck dumb, its eyes wide with shock.

farmer!
It really is the boss!

After the initial shock, a surge of elation welled up inside me.

The boss is here! We're saved!

Runrun Duck casually tossed its hair, ignoring the ground shaking beneath its feet and the fact that it could barely stand; it remained unmoved despite the rumbling of collapsing houses not far in front of it, its light blue feathers swaying in the gale.

With the boss here, there's nothing to fear.

No one can defeat the boss.

"That's Consultant Chen on there!"

As the Blazing Falcon slowly descended, revealing the figure on its back, everyone present recognized its identity.

This is Consultant Chen.

As for why Consultant Chen was riding a pet beast he had never seen before, most people didn't know the reason. At this moment, they only knew one thing:

With Advisor Chen here, they are saved.

Su Zhu's eyes flickered, and she exclaimed, "If this kind of plot appeared in a novel, then Consultant Chen would definitely be the protagonist."

Shi Yu, standing to the side, cast a questioning glance at him.

Su Zhu explained this by saying, "Because when disaster strikes, the protagonist always arrives late."

Shi Yu: "."

A gust of wind blew, causing his black hair to sway. Chen Yuan embraced Huo Hua's slender neck and looked down. The terrifyingly large Thousand-Ridged Rock Beetle came into view, and his eyes flickered.

Is this a gigantic pet?
As a beast tamer, Chen Yuan naturally pays attention to academic papers that attract widespread attention. "A Study on the Phenomenon of Giantification" was a paper that went viral some time ago. Even he had studied it carefully and asked Chen Wenhao about it.

According to my brother, gigantification is an extremely rare phenomenon that occurs when a pet is born, perhaps only once in tens of thousands of pets. It is extremely rare and uncommon.

Once this phenomenon occurs, the pet will be several times or even dozens of times larger than its kind.

The increase in size will bring a terrifying boost in strength, making them far more powerful than their kind.

Chen Yuan guessed that the "King of Babies" that Cola and Yaya had seen was some kind of giant frog-like pet.

However, gigantification does not bring only benefits; gigantic pets are highly likely to be ostracized by their own kind.

For many pet animals, an extreme size means being an outcast, out of place, and such pet animals are likely to be rejected or even driven away by their own kind.

Just like the Frosty Bull, which was abandoned by its tribe because of its small size despite its amazing combat power, giant pet beasts also face the same situation.

However, if one is determined, one can completely subdue one's own kind with overwhelming strength and reason with fists.

Rumble!
This gigantic monstrous rock maggot rampaged through Daping Village, its enormous body knocking down houses and crushing streets; everything in its path was utterly vulnerable.

The once peaceful and tranquil village was turned into a mess by the sudden intrusion of the Thousand-ridged Rock Grass.

"Fortunately, the crowd has already evacuated." Chen Yuan murmured to himself, watching the terrifying destructive power of the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle.

Following the navigation all the way, Spark did not lose its way and quickly flew over 100 kilometers, rapidly approaching Daping Village.

When they were only a short distance from Daping Village, Song Wei, a local forest ranger, called to report the situation. Chen Yuan then told Huohua to speed up, and they finally arrived in time.

This Thousand-ridged Rockfly is indeed beyond the capabilities of Advisor Shi and his group; even the Flame Cloud Falcon before its evolution would likely have difficulty defeating it.

Its massive size endows it with terrifying strength and solid defense, and as an earth-type pet, the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle, which can burrow underground, has a natural advantage over fire-type pets.

However, Spark is no longer the Flame Cloud Falcon it was before its evolution.

It is now the Blazing Falcon, a pet with a combined fire and light attribute.

"But... what are Duck and Electric Flying Cat doing here?" Chen Yuan frowned as he watched Duck and Electric Flying Cat hiding under a house and waving their wings at him.

Shouldn't they stay on the farm?
How did they end up in Daping Village?
Is this another one of Electric Flying Cat's tricks?

"Electric Flying Cat, I'll remember this!"

Without time to consider anything else, Chen Yuan quickly scanned his surroundings, his thoughts racing, and swiftly devised a battle plan.

“No, it’s best to lure the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle to an open area. This place is not suitable as a battlefield.” Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened.

If the battle were to take place in Daping Village, the aftershocks from the fight between Qianjiyanlin and Huohua would be enough to completely destroy the entire village, turning what was already a scene of devastation into ruins.

Some superheroes in TV anime only need to consider how to save people, without caring about the damage to personal and public property. As an advisor to the Qin Province Beast Tamer Association, Chen Yuan has many more things to consider.

As a result, Spark's fighting in Daping Village was inevitably hampered, preventing them from unleashing their full potential.

Thanks to the excellent view from above, Chen Yuan quickly spotted a large open space to the northwest of Daping Village. The land was flat, and some building materials were laid out, suggesting that a new building was about to be constructed.

Fighting here will minimize losses.

"Lead it over there." With that thought in mind, Chen Yuan gave the order.

"Chirp~"

Spark nodded slightly, its sharp eyes fixed on the rampaging Thousand-Spine Rock Beetles. Suddenly, a scorching pillar of fire erupted from its beak, the flames surging through the air and rushing towards it!

The surging flames were reflected in the eyes of everyone present and their pets, resembling a roaring fire dragon with raging waves of fire and scorching heat. In that instant, it felt as if they were in a furnace, their bodies burning with intense heat.

Shi Yu's eyes were glazed over as he murmured, "Advisor Chen has gotten even stronger."

The moment Su Zhu saw Chen Yuan appear, she was filled with excitement. She clenched her fists and looked up at the sky: "Master, when did Consultant Chen get this pet beast?"

Shi Yu snapped out of his daze and said in a deep voice, "This is the Flame Cloud Falcon, or more accurately, its evolved form."

After a pause, meeting the questioning gazes of the crowd, he patiently explained, "Advisor Chen is a high-level beast tamer. During the Great Wind Cup, he had already contracted with the Flame Cloud Falcon, the Wind-Gathering Hound, and the Twin Flower Concubines, so he didn't have any extra contract slots."

"Given Advisor Chen's personality, he certainly wouldn't abandon any of his pets and instead contract other pets."

"Therefore, this pet must be the evolved form of the Flame Cloud Falcon. It is a fire-type beast that can fly and has some similarities in appearance. When multiple similarities come together, it is definitely not a coincidence."

The Thousand-Ridge Rock Beetle was completely unaware of the sudden burst of flames. Its back was suddenly and severely injured, and hundreds of rock armor plates were simultaneously heated by the flames, turning red.

"Crack--!"

The next moment, the Thousand-ridged Rock Grass violently shook its body, trying to shake off the scorching heat spreading across its back, while letting out a shrill scream that echoed through the sky above Daping Village.

boom! ! !
The swaying rear of its body slammed into walls, sending stones flying and dust billowing everywhere.

"Crack!"

Soon, the Thousand-Spine Rockfly raised its head and looked at the sparks flying high in the sky. Its eyes flashed with a violent and ferocious light, like a monster that had been provoked and entered a frenzied state. Its roar followed.

Rumble!
In that instant, the Thousand-Spine Rock Beetle's twenty-meter-long body seemed to be spring-loaded, suddenly stretching out from the ground and leaping close to Spark, its gaping, menacing maw lunging to bite.

Spark was already on guard. The instant the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle leaped up, it lightly flapped its broad wings. With just one flap, the swirling wind carried it upwards, easily avoiding the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle's sudden attack.

But at this moment, Chen Yuan was able to see the Thousand-Spine Rock Beetle's enormous head and its huge, menacing eyes up close, and his heart tightened inexplicably.

Only upon close inspection can one truly appreciate the terrifying size of this creature; someone with megalophobia would likely faint on the spot. Fortunately, Chen Yuan was only slightly affected, but he quickly frowned.

This guy is acting very strangely.

As far as he knew, the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle's personality was not at all violent or ferocious. These kinds of pets lived underground for a long time and were definitely dark crawlers. Although they looked a bit scary, they never caused trouble.

Why is this gigantic Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle reacting so violently? Has it been stimulated by something?
But this wasn't the time to delve into the reasons; he needed to calm the guy down first.

Only fists can make every frenzied pet listen to reason.

boom!
Just then, the Thousand-Ridge Rock Beetle crashed to the ground, its massive body creating a deep crater upon impact. The dust it kicked up spread for dozens of meters in all directions, instantly resembling a sandstorm sweeping across the Qinling Mountains.

The Thousand-Ridge Rock Beetle looked up and saw Spark flying towards the northwest. Enraged, it turned around without hesitation and gave chase.

Rumble!
The ground rumbled and trembled, but the Thousand Ridge Rock Grasshopper quickly left Daping Village, leaving behind only a mess.

"quack."

Runrun Duck plopped down on the ground, wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.

The big guy is finally gone.

"Gah?"

Runrun Duck tilted its head and suddenly remembered a question.

Now that the farmer and his boss have arrived, where's Coke?
"Electric~"

Electric Flying Cat twitched its nose and suddenly smelled a familiar scent rapidly approaching. Turning its head, it saw Cola leap out of the dense forest to the west and rush towards them.

"Ow!"

With a swift movement, he covered a hundred meters and quickly appeared in front of the little ones.

"quack!"

"Electricity!"

"Ow~"

Cola glanced at the Thousand-ridged Rock Grasshopper rushing wildly in the northwest direction, then looked away and called out repeatedly.

The owner's original intention was to have the eldest sister hold off this big guy so that it could cover the villagers' evacuation. So he summoned it early and it ran all the way to Daping Village.

As it turned out, the crowd had already evacuated, but Duck and Electric Flying Cat appeared here. So its task became simple: just protect its two friends and protect the crowd from the aftermath of the battle.

"Ow"

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Cola gazed at the receding figure of the eldest sister, then sighed with his head down.

Sigh, another day where the boss lady steals the show.

When will I, Cola, finally make my grand entrance amidst the spotlight, turn the tide, save the collapsing edifice, and earn the title of the First Wind-Gathering Hound of the Eastern Empire?

Rumble!
Seeing the Thousand-ridged Rock Grasshopper rushing off in a northwest direction, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The big guy is finally gone.

Then, the beast tamers' eyes lit up, and they all sent their pets to follow closely behind, trying to witness this shocking duel; the villagers, however, were not interested. With heavy hearts, they rushed back to the village, collapsed in the mess, and cried out in unison.

Fortunately, the damage caused by the Thousand Ridges Lark was not complete. Although the houses collapsed and the streets were broken, the villagers who built all of this were safe and sound.

Being alive is the most important thing.

The animals living in the village were the first to take action. They used various methods to move the huge rocks blocking the way and clear away the broken stones and wood chips all over the ground, trying to restore the village to its original state.

Hope is being rekindled.

But the beast tamers' eyes were all fixed on the huge open space in the northwest.

"Crackling sound—!!!"

The Thousand-Spine Rock Beetle pursued the Blazing Sky Falcon until it stopped flying high in the sky. Suddenly, it slammed its huge tail into the ground, causing the surrounding land to shake violently. Huge rocks emerged from the ground and roared towards the Blazing Sky Falcon one after another!

Earth-type skill: Rock Bombardment.

Even though it is a gigantic pet, the skills it can master are still within the normal range, and it has not mastered any unreasonable and powerful moves.

Of course, under the same level of proficiency, the power and destructive force of the skills used by giant pets are significantly greater than those of their kind.

The massive rocks resembled cannonballs carrying terrifying power, their extreme speed almost leaving a trail of sparks behind them, creating a tremendous spectacle.

Shi Yu's expression turned solemn: "So strong."

His Abyss Bear would definitely not be able to withstand this move, not even his older brother's.
By the way, where did you go, bro?
Shi Yu looked back towards the dirt road, but didn't see Shi Gang for a long time. He hesitated for a while, then made a difficult decision: "Xiao Wei, you stay here, I'll go find my brother."

“I’ll go with you!” Song Wei said without hesitation.

“No.” Shi Yu pressed down on Song Wei’s shoulder, his gaze serious. “You are a forest ranger. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, it will be better for you to stay here.”

“I’m different. My brother is missing, and I have to go find him.”

After saying this, Shi Yu gazed deeply at the sky filled with boulders, then turned and ran towards the dirt road.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of boulders rumbling filled the air as Spark dodged left and right with her agile movements, her beak surging with flames as she shattered chunks of rock.

Chen Yuan held tightly to Huo Hua's neck. The wind blew his black hair and lifted his clothes. His body swayed with the way Huo Hua dodged.

His thought then came to mind: "Will my actions affect you?"

Spark shook her head: "Chirp~"

With its current strength, it will not be affected at all by Chen Yuan sitting on its back; the latter just needs to avoid falling off.

Chen Yuan exclaimed sincerely, "This is just too exciting!"

This is the most realistic first-person perspective of pet battles, allowing you to truly feel everything Spark experiences during the battle. It's much more exciting and thrilling than regular battles, and it's quite a test for your heart.

Moments later, an explosion rang out, and the boulder turned into dust that fell to the ground.

"Flame Storm".

As the thought flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan's idea came to mind.

"Chirp!!!"

The next instant, Spark's eyes shone brightly, as if a ball of flame was burning wildly. Then, golden flames surged from his body, and his aura soared.

"Crackling".

Sensing the change in the intensity of the spark, the Thousand-Ridge Rock Scorpion uneasily twisted its massive body.

Suddenly, the sparks violently flapped the broad, gold and red wings, creating a fierce wind that swept across the east and west.

The wind was fierce and restless.

Flames then surged and billowed.

The storm unleashed its hottest flames, which swirled and merged, forming two massive fiery storms that spiraled rapidly toward the Thousand-Ridge Rock Beetle from the left and right.

Even the air became scorching hot due to the intense heat generated by the blazing storm, and the thick snow began to melt at an alarming rate, causing the branches that had been weighed down by the heavy snow to stand upright.

"Crackling"

As the fiery storm swept in from both sides simultaneously, the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle felt a primal fear welling up from the depths of its heart.

It wasn't afraid of the flames themselves, but rather of the pet that spewed forth the flames.

As the air grew increasingly scorching, the Thousand-Ridged Rock Beetle suddenly tilted its head down, its countless legs moving simultaneously, digging a deep pit at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Its enormous body then burrowed into the pit, disappearing underground as the fiery storm approached.

"How infuriating! They even hid underground!" Seeing this, Su Zhu frowned, feeling sorry that the Flame Storm had failed.

Song Wei breathed a long sigh of relief.

They were initially intimidated by the Thousand-Spine Rock Beetle's enormous size, but now it seems that the Thousand-Spine Rock Beetle may not be a match for Yan, this unknown and unfamiliar pet.

boom!
Once the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle evaded the attack by burrowing, the two fiery storms lost their target and vanished without a trace.

Chen Yuan chuckled helplessly: "Dealing with earth-type pets is such a hassle."

Once underground, the sparks are unlikely to harm them.

The Thousand-ridged Rock Grasshopper disappeared, and the ground fell into a brief stillness, with a gentle breeze blowing.

But soon, the ground began to tremble slightly, as if a colossal creature was twisting its body underground, making a loud grinding sound.

"Be careful," Chen Yuan said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

next moment,
A large area of ​​ground directly below Spark suddenly collapsed, revealing a ferocious giant mouth in a dark cave. Immediately afterward, the Thousand-Spine Rock Beetle burst out of the ground, its body crushing the surrounding ground as it leaped up and bit Spark at an even faster speed!

It was much faster than last time, and almost instantly came within arm's reach of the spark.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan, who was prepared, issued the order in time: "Radiant Light."

"Chirp!"

Spark instantly spread its wings, and the golden edges of its feathers suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, the endless light piercing through the clouds and almost covering half of the sky!
It got brighter.

"Crackling sound—!!"

Just as the Thousand-ridged Rockfly was about to launch a biting attack, it was suddenly illuminated by the glow, its eyes stung and closed, losing its target.

Spark took the opportunity to create some distance and silently watched as the Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle, emitting a mournful cry, crashed heavily to the ground.

The light-based skill, Radiant Light, emits a dazzling light. Opponents illuminated by the center of the light will be temporarily blinded and suffer minor damage.

Boom! ! !
The enormous body crashed to the ground with tremendous force, but fortunately, the Thousand-Ridge Rock Beetle had thick skin and was only slightly affected.

The temporary blindness made it extremely agitated. Unable to find a target, it could only frantically shake its body and indiscriminately attack everything around it.

The earth shook violently, and dust filled the sky.

Chen Yuan remained unmoved, his expression indifferent: "The final move, Rainbow Fire Spreads Across the Plains."

"Chirp!"

Spark instantly folded its wings, its fiery red feathers swaying in the wind, the edges of which suddenly shone with golden light, and its whole body was engulfed in dazzling golden flames!
Everyone looked up in a daze, only to see the seven-colored rainbow feathers in the sky transform into countless sparks, connecting with each other and crashing down with flames that almost burned the sky!

"What kind of move is that?" someone asked in a hoarse voice.

No one knew the answer. They looked ahead and saw countless sparks bombarding the ground like falling meteorites. The enormous explosions completely engulfed the blinded Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle.

Rumble!
It was powerless to dodge and could only let the sparks hit its body.

The colossal, awe-inspiring body was soon engulfed in golden flames, which continued to burn it. The terrifying impact caused the Thousand-Spine Rock Beetle's back to slump, and it collapsed to the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, the Mars disappeared, and a huge roar continued to sound, with a plume of black smoke drifting into the sky.

Looking ahead, the charred Thousand-ridged Rock Beetle lay on the ground, resembling a giant, burnt beetle.

　After some reflection, I realized that the last two chapters were indeed a bit padded. This chapter sped up the pace and omitted some unnecessary descriptions, such as the onlookers' amazement and boasting. This chapter was almost empty. I will revise the previous chapter later, as it was indeed too drawn out.
