Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 284 The Decisive Battle at the Summit of the Snow Mountain!

The sky was azure, the sun shone brightly, and the clouds drifted lazily by.

The Frosty Beast was not in a good mood today, and it followed behind its leader without its usual arrogance and flamboyance.

Yesterday's experience was so terrible that it's hard for it to forget now.

Finding delicious spiritual plants in the raging wind was supposed to be a happy thing, but a hateful big dog that suddenly appeared shattered its dream and forced it to become a human's mount.

That's not all, the most crucial thing is that the human actually rejected him!

It rejected itself!

Whenever he thought of this, the Frosty Beast was filled with grief and indignation, and a thought began to form in his mind: why not let the boss take action and force that human to lower his proud head and beg to become his mount or pet, and then I would refuse.

Let those despicable humans taste what it's like to be rejected!

Thinking of this, the Frosty Beast was about to tell its leader about this idea when it caught a glimpse of a small black dot leaping up from the ground at a speed that was beyond the reach of the eye. In the blink of an eye, the small black dot had become a huge beast that filled the entire field of vision, rushing towards the leader with gusts of wind!

"Roar!"

The Frosty Beast roared urgently and flapped its three pairs of wings violently as it flew toward the Frosty Peak.

Boss, there's danger!

The Abyss Giant Mushroom's sudden attack came without warning. Caught off guard, Qiongyu Shuangfeng could only see a small black dot rushing towards him. Just as he was about to flap his wings to dodge, the Abyss Giant Mushroom was already right in front of him in the blink of an eye.

That's too fast!
Despite its massive size, the Abyss Giant Mushroom possesses astonishing jumping ability, capable of leaping hundreds of meters in an instant to deliver a sudden attack to its opponent.

This move is difficult to dodge, or rather, impossible to dodge.

Even the proud and aloof Qiongyu Shuangfeng could not avoid the attack of the Abyss Giant Mushroom when caught off guard. Its enormous body, carrying immense force, crashed heavily into Qiongyu Shuangfeng's body. This immense force was difficult to resist and continued to crush Qiongyu Shuangfeng along its path.

"Wow!!!"

Even though it tried its best to flap its large wings to maintain its balance, the immense force still sent it flying dozens of meters away before it regained its flight posture a moment later.

However, this immense force effectively damaged Qiongyu Shuangfeng, causing its head to daze and even sending faint pains through various parts of its body.

Most importantly, a sinister toxin quietly spreads through contact between the Abyss Giant Mushroom and its body, growing wildly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, instantly covering most of its body.

"Wow!"

The Frostwing Feather emitted a shriek more piercing than the pain in its flesh, its broad wings flapping restlessly, and its body swaying unsteadily.

This is a super-strong toxin from the King of Mushrooms. Once it hits, the toxin will spread wildly in the body until it causes paralysis.

At the same moment,

The giant abyssal mushroom, which had produced an excellent surprise attack, plummeted straight down and landed in an instant.

The moment it landed, the terrifying impact of its massive size created a deep crater, and a wave of air spread outwards in all directions.

For a moment, snowflakes danced in the air.

The people atop the snow-capped mountain were already stunned.

Although the climbers looked puzzled, their eyes shone with excitement and anticipation: "A great battle! This is a great battle!"

"Wasn't the Giant Abyss Mushroom supposed to be asleep?" Jiang Wenning frowned slightly, a series of questions surfacing in her mind. "Why is it here? And why is it attacking this giant bird?"

Li Junyue pursed his lips slightly. He didn't know the answer to the question, but that didn't stop him from breaking free from his confusion and calmly saying, "Quickly retreat and meet up with Chengzi first."

The sudden appearance and strange behavior of the giant abyss mushroom proved that an unpredictable special situation had occurred here. Their wise choice at this moment was not to continue to stand still, but to immediately retreat back to Chen Yuan's side and face the special situation together.

Ignoring the sudden and fierce battle, the three decisively retreated.

"Roar!"

Seeing its leader attacked by the hateful giant mushroom, the Frostfire Beast was enraged. The grievances and resentment it suffered yesterday turned into a raging fire. It flapped its wings violently and charged straight at the giant abyss mushroom that had landed!

It wants to avenge its boss!

In that instant, the Frosty Beast unleashed astonishing speed. Although its massive body was far from enough to rival the Abyss Giant Mushroom, its ferocious appearance was enough to terrify most pet beasts.

In an instant, the Frosty Sky Beast swooped down from the sky, closing the distance between them, and a sudden storm unleashed a sharp white light!

The enormous abyssal mushroom, as large as a small mountain, was reflected in the eyes of the Frosty Sky Beast. Its eyes were filled with rage, and its body seemed to contain endless terrifying energy, causing its aura to surge suddenly.

Boss, I'll avenge you right now!

"Mushrooms!"

At that very moment, the sounds of mushrooms rose and fell, and one poisonous fungus after another appeared in the sight of the Frostfire Beast. Then, a thick, light pink mist quickly spread and enveloped the entire body of the Frostfire Beast.

"Roar"

The sweet fragrance takes effect very quickly, not to mention that this is a mushroom formation that multiple pets have been preparing for a long time. Not to mention the Frosty Sky Beast, even the Frosty Sky Falcon will fall into a deep sleep once it is hit.

A deadly drowsiness washed over it like a tidal wave, and the furious Frostfire Beast's eyelids suddenly felt heavy. It wanted to roar angrily to break free from this drowsiness, but the tide had already swallowed it up.

The tide surged wave after wave, and the wings of the Frosty Sky Beast gradually stopped flapping before it collapsed headfirst into the snow.

The next moment, a snoring sound as loud as muffled thunder resounded all around.

The Frosty Beast, who didn't sleep yesterday due to grief and anger, can finally get a good night's rest now.

"What a waste."

A tall, thin man dressed in a gray-blue tactical uniform slowly appeared. His cheekbones were sharp as if carved by a knife, and his nose was high and straight with a hooked curve, giving him a somewhat eagle-like appearance.

With his hands in his pockets, the eagle strode lightly across the snow, gradually approaching the fallen Frostfire Beast. His eyes were calm, and his voice was as aloof as the Puda Snow Mountain beneath his feet: "This was originally a surprise prepared for Frostblade Skyfeather, but you beat me to it."

"You're really taking advantage of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eagle slightly raised his eyes, his sharp, eagle-like gaze fixed on the swaying Qiong Yu Shuang Feng high in the sky, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "But it's alright, once the Ling Xiao Beast falls, you'll have no helper."

"You are no threat right now."

Cangying and the others had been observing Puda Snow Mountain for several days. Whenever the sun shone on the mountain, Qiongyu Shuangfeng would always lead the Linxiao Beast to soar high in the sky, but at other times they could not be seen.

To capture this creature, we must first strike at sunrise, and secondly, we must eliminate the Frosty Sky Beast.

Although the strength of the Frostbeast is far inferior to that of the Frostblade, it still possesses considerable combat power and will likely hinder this operation.

In that case, dealing with the Frosty Sky Beast first is a good option; bringing it back to the organization will earn a considerable amount of points.

"Do it."

The Eagles knew the adage that villains die from talking too much. They had been planning for this Frostwing Blade for a long time, spending too much manpower and resources on it.

According to information obtained yesterday, all members responsible for attracting the attention of the Criminal Investigation Department in LS City have been arrested. Given their methods and abilities, it is estimated that they will obtain most of the intelligence about this operation in no time.

For this reason, the Azure Eagle ceased further observation of Frostblade Skywing yesterday, no longer delving into its combat capabilities, and began its operation directly.

So far, the operation has gone very smoothly.

"Wow!"

In a flash of thought, a mysterious summoning array appeared in front of the eagle. A gray-feathered falcon with sharp eyes spread its wings and soared out from it, accompanied by a sharp white light. The moment its sharp screech rang out, it flew towards the Frost Peak!

At the same moment, the eagle turned its head to look at the giant abyss mushroom that was still standing in place, its eagle eyes sharp: "And you, continue the attack."

"Roar"

The giant abyss mushroom was unwilling to give up. It wanted to use its massive body to smash into the noisy human in front of it, but when it saw the red explosive devices installed on the members of its tribe, it immediately suppressed its impulse and slowly nodded.

It didn't want to be manipulated by this despicable human, but for now, it had no choice but to compromise.

The sharp-eyed Greyfeather Falcon swooped straight at Frostfly Skywing, while the Abyss Giant Mushroom was also preparing its next attack. High in the sky, Frostfly Skywing, with its powerful physique, finally broke free from the effects of the poison, suddenly spread its wide wings, and its screech resounded through the sky!

Since its birth, Qiongyu Shuangfeng has soared high above the snow-capped mountains and danced in the sky.

No creature that inhabits this place is a match for it; even the arrogant Frosty Beast has become its subordinate.

But today, at this very moment, it is being attacked one after another by pets it has never seen before.

"Wow!!!"

The screech of the Frostwing Sky Feather was like the ice and snow on the summit of a snow-capped mountain that had not melted for thousands of years, chilling to the bone. Everyone present could deeply feel the anger hidden beneath that cry.

The same applies to Li Junyue and others.

While Jiang Wenning and Chang Yuhuan focused their attention on Qiongyu Shuangfeng, Li Junyue stared intently at Cangying and the others in the distance, thanks to his excellent eyesight. Cangying was surrounded by a group of beast tamers dressed in black tactical clothing, his expression aloof.

"The Eagle." Li Junyue's expression turned solemn, and he subconsciously gripped his phone tightly in his pocket.

But then he suddenly remembered that there was no signal on the summit of the snow-capped mountain. He slowly let go, and a deep voice followed: "It's the New Star Society."

Jiang Wenning suddenly turned her head and stared straight ahead: "It's them again?"

“Hmm.” Li Junyue summoned the Ink Tree Spirit and spoke at a rapid pace, “The person in the middle is one of the executives of the New Star Society, codenamed Eagle. He appeared in LS City and has been wanted ever since.”

"His strength ranks among the top in the New Star Society's cadres. His main pet is a third-tier gray-feathered falcon, hence his code name, Azure Eagle."

and many more.

LS City?
Li Junyue frowned slightly. He suddenly remembered the group of Rising Stars Club members who appeared in LS City a few days ago. Their unusual behavior was inexplicably linked to the sudden appearance of the cadre, Cangying.

Coupled with the suspected manipulation of the giant abyss mushroom, all these clues formed a bold idea in my mind: "It's all for this mysterious giant bird!"

Although he didn't know what was so special about the large bird, the Criminal Investigation Department had to stop Nova from doing what she wanted to do.

Even though he is currently the only member of the Criminal Investigation Department, he should step forward.

This is the most basic duty of a member of the Criminal Investigation Department.

The thought flashed through his mind, but Li Junyue, with a solemn expression, quickly spoke up: "These guys probably want to capture this big bird. I'll hold them off here. You guys go down and meet up with Orange."

Cola's advancement is a major event and must not be interrupted by the sudden appearance of the New Star Club.

“I’ll help you!” Jiang Wenning had no intention of backing down; a hint of excitement appeared on her face. “Don’t worry, I’ve dealt with the New Star Society more than once when I was in school.”

The practical courses at the Beast Taming Academy cover a wide range of topics, including challenging unfamiliar beast tamers, finding specific spiritual plants in the wild, removing fur from powerful pets, and even participating in the capture of members of the Criminal Investigation Department.

As an outstanding student, Jiang Wenning has participated in similar activities on many occasions.

She also had a brief encounter with these guys when she entered the mysterious forest.

Seeing Jiang Wenning's resolute attitude, Li Junyue stopped trying to persuade her. He then glanced at Chang Yuhuan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Forget it, letting Chang Yuhuan retreat alone is not a good idea.

“In that case,” Li Junyue’s eyes narrowed, and the massive Ink Tree Spirit slowly moved forward, casting a dark shadow that enveloped him. The man and his pet seemed to become one. “Then let’s stop them together.” In an instant, the three of them commanded their respective pets to approach the New Star Society in the distance.

At the same moment, several climbers sensed something was wrong, exchanged glances, and quickly descended.

The eagle noticed the climbers descending in panic. Its expression remained unchanged, but its sharp, eagle-like eyes fell on Li Junyue who was approaching. A smile played on its lips: "Captain Li, I didn't expect to see you here."

"We are truly destined to meet."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cangying had no further intention of speaking. He slowly stepped back a few paces, leaving the other members to deal with Li Junyue and his two companions.

He, on the other hand, had to focus all his attention on dealing with Qiong Yu Shuang Feng.

After observing it for several days, he knew how difficult it was to deal with the Frostblade of the Sky Feather. The Gray Feather Falcon and the Abyss Giant Mushroom alone could not guarantee success. He could only try to provoke it and lure it to the ground to capture it.

If an eagle is soaring in the sky, the probability of catching it is almost zero.

In an instant, chaos erupted.

"Wow!!!"

The Frostwing Blade met the oncoming Grey Feather Falcon head-on. Its broad wings were covered in frost, and its ice crystal wings emitted a chilling aura, as sharp as frozen blades. It easily blocked the Grey Feather Falcon's attack and wounded it severely.

In just one round, the third-tier Gray Feather Falcon was easily defeated by Sky Feather Frostblade. Its gray wings were covered in frost, and extreme cold air spread throughout its body in an instant.

"Wow!"

The icy chill made the gray-feathered falcon shiver. Its wings, frozen by the cold, became limp, and after a few flaps, it plummeted to the ground.

"Wow!!!"

Fortunately, the Greyfeather Falcon was different from most of Spark's opponents. It was not killed instantly. Instead, it flapped its wings violently, its eagle eyes suddenly bursting with light, and it forcibly broke free from the cold air.

A fierce wind swept through, and the Gray Feather Falcon gathered a barrage of wind blades to counterattack, shooting out densely towards the Frostblade of the Sky Feather.

"Wow!"

With a disdainful look, Qiongyu Shuangfeng gently flapped its wings, unleashing a fierce hurricane that easily crushed the overwhelming wind blades.

The wind howled, and the Greyfeather Falcon, usually a master of wind, swayed precariously in the gale whipped up by the Frostwing Sky, nearly losing its balance.

Seeing this, the eagle remained calm, as if it had expected all of this.

Although both are of the third rank, there is an insurmountable chasm between the Commander and the Morning Star.

In his initial plan, the Greyfeather Falcon and the Abyss Giant Mushroom would be responsible for drawing the frontal fire, while a group of smaller mushrooms would form a mushroom formation. With the help of other members, capturing the Skyfeather Frostblade would be a sure thing.

However, the sudden appearance of Li Junyue and others disrupted the original plan, but fortunately, everything was under control.

After all, we have about ten members on our side, while the other side only has three. We should be able to resolve this quickly.

But Li Junyue is no longer the novice beast tamer who needed guidance from others. He is now the respected captain of the Ninth Squad and has successfully handled many special incidents.

"Ink Tree Spirit, push it up."

Seeing the group of pet beasts charging menacingly, Li Junyue remained expressionless, but a thought arose within him.

Outnumbered and outgunned, the tough-skinned Ink Tree Spirit had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of drawing fire for the other beasts.

The Ink Tree Spirit met the menacing gazes of the group. It did not back down, but silently moved forward, its rock-hard body withstanding the attacks one after another without moving.

It continued forward, its branches, like two arms, lashing out repeatedly, transforming into the wildest weapons, whipping the surrounding beasts until their skin was torn and bleeding.

Even as violent energy waves pounded against it, the Ink Tree Spirit remained unmoved. Suddenly, a series of flexible tentacles emerged from the snow, weaving together to bind its pets.

"Meow!"

Taking advantage of the moment, the Ice Crystal Cat moved forward slowly with elegant steps, its silver-white fur fluttering and dancing with its surging spiritual energy.

As the spiritual energy, which seemed to materialize, poured forward, it violently impacted the several pet beasts that were bound by the Ink Tree Spirit.

Accompanied by a series of mournful howls, these pets suffered a tremendous mental shock, their spirits instantly collapsing and almost losing their ability to fight.

"Good cooperation." Jiang Wenning smiled and said.

Just then, a Nightshade Cat tried to take advantage of the Ice Crystal Cat's skill-casting gap to launch a sneak attack. Its body transformed into a blurry shadow and suddenly darted forward, its sharp claws extending into dense black shadows, slashing straight at the Ice Crystal Cat!

At the critical moment, a surging torrent of water suddenly burst forth, accurately striking the Nightmare Cat who had launched the sneak attack.

boom!
The Nightmare Cat had no time to dodge and was violently struck by the force of the water flow, flying several meters away before crashing solidly to the ground.

"Meow~"

Ice Crystal Cat turned its head to look at Water Spirit Turtle, and nodded its thanks with a reserved air.

The water spirit turtle scratched its head, looking rather embarrassed.

As the team's slacker, it can't do much.

The battle raged on, leaving no room for compromise. The pets fought fiercely against each other, unleashing a torrent of energy.

Most of the beast tamers present did not send out a second pet.

There are two reasons. First, the strength of the second pet may not be sufficient to participate in the highly intense melee battle. Second, it is difficult for the beast tamer to command two pets in the melee battle at the same time.

With a large number of pets participating in the battle, the Beastmaster must take care of all aspects, which inevitably leads to oversights.

Unless a pet has a strong sense of autonomy in combat and can maneuver with ease in a chaotic battle, no beast tamer would choose to command multiple pets at the same time, thus increasing their burden.

However, as the Beastmaster's level increases and their mental strength grows, the situation of commanding multiple pets at the same time will inevitably occur in large-scale pet battles.

"Damn it."

Seeing his own men showing signs of weakness in the melee, the eagle, who was observing the situation out of the corner of his eye, changed his expression slightly and cursed under his breath.

The situation was slightly unexpected.

Li Junyue's strength was not beyond his expectations, so why were there two powerful beast tamers by his side?

According to intelligence, shouldn't the Ninth Squad still be on vacation?
Despite the change in circumstances, the eagle remained calm, its voice clear and crisp like ice and snow: "Accelerate the plan."

Our side can still hold off Li Junyue and the other two. As long as we capture Qiong Yu Shuangfeng quickly, we will have completed the plan.

At that time, what would his life or death have to do with the other members?

With a thought flashing through his mind, the expressionless eagle turned its head to look at the giant abyss mushroom that seemed to be putting in effort but was actually slacking off.

The next moment, he pulled out something that looked like a remote control, pressed the red button, and the red device attached to one of the Beast Mushrooms exploded, causing a loud bang.

boom!
An explosion rang out, and the Explosive Mushroom was engulfed in thick black smoke.

After a while, the black smoke dissipated, and the Explosive Mushroom, covered in wounds, lay on the snow, looking miserable and on the verge of death.

"Roar!"

Upon seeing this, the giant mushroom in the abyss roared in fury, its eyes flashing with ferocity as it glared at the smiling eagle.

The eagle held up the remote control, making a pressing motion, and said calmly, "If you continue like this, I will press it again."

"Roar"

The enraged Abyss Giant Mushroom stared at the eagle for a while, then suddenly looked away, raised its head, and gazed at the Frostblade of the Sky Feather in mid-air.

The next moment, its enormous body stomped on the ground and leaped into the air. Its amazing jumping power propelled it high into the sky, where it launched another attack on Qiongyu Shuangfeng.

This attack, brimming with fury and as swift as a tidal wave, was easily evaded by Qiong Yu Shuang Feng with a sidestep.

"Wow!"

With a sharp gaze, Qiong Yu Shuang Feng flapped its wings violently, unleashing a sudden storm attack accompanied by a gust of wind. Its figure moved straight forward like a sharp sword, accurately striking the giant abyss mushroom that was falling straight down.

"Roar!"

The Abyss Giant Mushroom suffered severe damage and was in pain. Its body, which was originally indestructible in front of Cola, was as thin as a sheet of paper under the attack of Sky Feather Frost Blade.

There are also differences in quality among Morningstar products.

"Wow!"

However, the Greyfeather Falcon seized the opportunity to circle around behind Frostwing, its beak flashing with a sharp white light, and pecked at the latter's body.

Qiong Yu Shuang Feng's body did not sway, nor was it seriously injured by the sneak attack, but a feather slowly drifted down.

"Wow!"

Qiong Yu Shuang Feng was completely enraged, his sharp eyes flashing with a fierce light, and he suddenly spread his broad wings.

A strong wind rose.

This is no ordinary gale.

It was a storm field that swept across half the sky, affecting all living things within its range.

The eagle's expression changed again: "Sky Wind Domain."

This is the exclusive racial skill of the Sky Feather Frostblade, Sky Wind Domain.

Once this skill is used, Frostblade will be able to create a storm field with a huge impact range, increasing its own speed while causing continuous damage to all creatures within the range.

The gale, like a sharp blade, relentlessly swept over my body.

In that instant, all the pets and beast tamers on the snow were affected, and pale blue mental energy shields, emitting a faint glow, rose continuously to protect everyone.

The melee abruptly ceased, and everyone stared blankly at the enraged Qiong Yu Shuang Feng.

This true ruler of the skies, dwelling atop the snow-capped mountains, was utterly enraged.

But Cola was already used to everything that everyone was going through at this moment.

The cola has been battered by the strong winds all night, and its advancement is just around the corner.

Chen Yuan, who was waiting outside the tent, suddenly looked up and gazed at the distant snow-capped mountain peak, where a fierce wind seemed to be blowing.

"Another gale?"

"I wonder if their summit attempt went smoothly?"

"There shouldn't be any unexpected situations, right?"

"Probably not?"
