Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 309 Hurry up and go to Xuanhe Town to invite Advisor Chen!
With their feet sinking into the snow, Zhang Hao, who was about to be promoted to deputy director, led the town's young cadres to the habitat of the fire monkey.

Zhang Hao had dealt with many different kinds of pets, and he knew that it wouldn't be easy to persuade the Fiery Spirit Monkey to move away peacefully. Friction was inevitable, so it was safer to bring more helpers.

After walking for a short while, you will see a large, flat area of ​​snow, with rows of bare trees standing tall.

This is our destination – the habitat of the Fire Monkey.

Zhang Hao tightened his coat, exhaled a puff of hot air, and pointed north: "Let's go soak in the hot springs over there later."

There is a cave there. Follow the passage along the rock wall and you will find a hot spring.

Zhang Hao once took the Chen brothers to a hot spring, where they encountered the bounty hunter Huo Hong.

"Alright, Director Zhang," someone joked.

Zhang Hao coughed lightly and waved his hand slightly: "No, no, no, Brother Song is the director, I'm just a handyman."

As we chatted, a faint white mist began to rise from the trees directly in front of us, and a warm breeze carrying a slight sulfurous smell blew towards us.

Zhang Hao frowned and urged everyone to hurry forward.

"It's a hot spring!"

Before long, someone's eyes lit up, and they excitedly pointed to the white mist rising from the trees ahead.

Passing through rows of tall trees, a clear, blue pond comes into view.

The pool water is crystal clear, steaming with enticing heat, and the volcanic rocks at the bottom shimmer and glow in the reflection of the water.

Zhang Hao frowned even more deeply: "There are hot springs here too?"

On second thought, this place is the habitat of the Fire Spirit Monkey, and there is a risk for outsiders to enter; in addition, the residents of Xuanhe Town hardly ever go out here and are not familiar with the situation here.

This was clearly an unexpected surprise.

During the development of this area, the hot spring could be preserved and transformed into a pleasant place for the townspeople to enjoy.

"How about we soak in a hot spring first?" someone suggested, eager to try it out.

Zhang Hao glanced at his watch and, seeing that it was still early, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's soak for a while then."

The young people present cheered, as if the fatigue from their journey had been dispelled by the heat, and they all jumped into the hot spring.

Warm water enveloped his limbs and bones. Zhang Hao leaned comfortably against a warm volcanic rock, about to close his eyes and enjoy a moment of peace, when he suddenly heard Shao Yang's soft exclamation:

"There are signs of damage here."

Zhang Hao looked in the direction of the sound and saw several pieces of volcanic rock with obvious cracks, as if they had been damaged not long ago.

Some people speculated: "That's normal. There must be a lot of wild pets soaking in the hot springs here, and they certainly don't take good care of them."

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement: "Old Shao, don't worry about that. Let's think about how to persuade the Fiery Spirit Monkey to leave."

Shao Yang suppressed his doubts and nodded slightly: "Explain with emotion and reason."

"The Fiery Monkey is gentle in nature; we can reason with it."

"Isn't there a forest north of the town? Try to persuade them to move there."

Zhang Hao nodded silently.

Under Chen Yuan's guidance, Zhang Hao had witnessed too many grand scenes and encountered too many powerful beasts in this mountain, and he thought he could easily complete this task.

As long as no unexpected events occur, it's fine.

"Ow—!"

Right there, a sharp, angry howl shattered the tranquility of the hot spring. Everyone looked up, and the pets on guard nearby simultaneously barked alarmingly.

Looking ahead, a group of golden-red figures rushed towards the hot spring at an astonishing speed, like burning fire meteors, bringing with them waves of scorching heat, causing the temperature to soar suddenly.

Zhang Hao turned around and his pupils shrank: "The Fiery Spirit Monkey!"

Although the leading Fire Spirit Monkey was not tall, it was exceptionally robust, and its golden-red fur covering its entire body resembled flowing molten gold, shimmering brightly under the warm winter sun.

His muscular arms suddenly swelled, and the irregularly distributed gold and red patterns burst into light. His indigo face was twisted with raging anger, and his molten gold vertical pupils stared intently at the people in the hot spring!

next moment,
The lead Fire Spirit Monkey raised its head and roared, its explosive fists slamming into the rocky ground beside the hot spring with unstoppable force!

boom--! !

With a deafening roar, the ground trembled violently as if struck by a giant hammer, and a raging fire broke out.

Trampled by flames!

At the same moment, the pool water was thrown up by the terrifying shockwave, turning into a scalding waterfall that rushed straight towards everyone.

Before he could explain, Zhang Hao first dodged the waterfall with a leap, then used both hands and feet to climb up to the edge of the pool at an unprecedented speed.

As qualified beast tamers, everyone reacted quickly, dodging the first wave of attacks from the Fiery Spirit Monkey and swiftly arriving at Zhang Hao's side.

"what happened?"

"Isn't it said that the Fire Spirit Monkey is gentle and won't attack humans unprovoked?"

"I don't think this is some kind of superhuman monkey."

Everyone was puzzled. Zhang Hao fell silent, but the observant Shao Yang seemed to have caught a clue. His eyes flashed and his voice was low: "Perhaps... this hot spring can only be enjoyed by them."

"This is the only possibility." Zhang Hao frowned, his expression grave.

This is trouble.

Being misunderstood by the Fire Spirit Monkeys is secondary; the real fear is that this accident will affect the mission.

"Brother Hao, what do we do now?" someone asked, looking at Zhang Hao, the pillar of the group.

"Why don't we explain it clearly?" someone suggested.

Zhang Hao stared at the enraged Fiery Monkeys, a multitude of thoughts surging within him, but a phrase Chen Yuan had once uttered echoed in his mind:
"When dealing with pets in an angry state, don't expect to reason with them calmly. Fight them first, subdue them, and then let them reason with you when they calm down."

Composing himself, Zhang Hao let out a long breath, his gaze suddenly hardening: "Prepare for battle."

Even when facing a group of enraged Fiery Monkeys, Shao Yang's expression remained unchanged. He calmly stated, "Fiery Monkeys are fire-type pets, agile and skilled in close combat. Keep your distance from them during battle."

"The skills they can master include Fire Stomp, Flame Breath, Fiery Tail Prison, Blazing Fist Combo, and so on."

Everyone nodded solemnly, facing the fiery spirit monkeys before them.

Zhang Hao had the gray-armored wild boar stand in front of him, quickly scanned the area, and said in a rapid-fire voice, "Don't be afraid, there aren't many opponents, we can handle them."

There were six beast tamers present, including three intermediate-level beast tamers and three beginner-level beast tamers.

The opponent had a total of seven Fiery Spirit Monkeys. The leader of the Fiery Spirit Monkeys had the strongest aura, but it was clear that it was not at the third tier. The rest were at the first and second tiers.

From this perspective, the two sides are roughly equal in strength on paper, but the pets carefully bred by the Beastmaster are stronger than wild pets. With the Beastmaster's command, defeating this group of Fiery Spirit Monkeys should not be a problem.

"Old Shao, I'm counting on you this time." Zhang Hao stepped aside, allowing Shao Yang to take the lead in this chaotic battle.

Shao Yang, the third Beast Tamer in Xuanhe Town, trains his pets day and night, unlike Zhang Hao who is too busy with other matters and too lazy to train. His initial pet, the Firefly Hound, is only one step away from reaching the third tier.

Putting aside the illogical Consultant Chen, he is the number one beast tamer in Xuanhe Town.

Whenever there are extraordinary events of ordinary magnitude, he is the one who usually steps in to resolve them.

"Hmm." Shao Yang nodded slightly, took half a step forward, and looked indifferent.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear a strange noise, stopped in his tracks, looked up into the distance, and his calm expression changed abruptly.

A group of fiery monkeys rushed over, numbering about twenty, like surging flames, completely surrounding the hot spring from all sides.

Shao Yang silently took half a step back and stood beside Zhang Hao.

Everyone silently retreated, pressing close to Zhang Hao's side. Their pets faced the large, furious group of Fiery Spirit Monkeys, letting out weak shouts.

"Hmm hum hum!"

Even when faced with the menacing Fiery Monkeys, the Gray-Armored Boar, who deeply loved its Beast Tamer, showed no fear. It exhaled a puff of hot air, its thick limbs rubbing against the ground, and its dark gray body gleamed with a hard, faint light.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Even after rigorous training, the Firefly Dog is not afraid of strong enemies. Its orange-yellow fur flows in the wind, and its sharp eyes stare straight ahead.

At the same moment, the robust Fiery Monkey stepped out, its golden-red fur shimmering with a wavy halo under the light, and its body surface continuously emanating a translucent fire aura, like a fluttering ribbon.

With just one glance, an overwhelming aura, as powerful as molten lava, swept over them, causing their expressions to change repeatedly, and a hint of despair to creep into their eyes.

Shao Yang's expression was unusually solemn: "A third-tier Flowing Fire Spirit Monkey."

"Old Shao, are you confident in fighting someone of a higher level?" Zhang Hao asked in a low voice.

Shao Yang's expression froze, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Hao, do you think I'm the protagonist of a novel?" Even with a formidable enemy in front of him, Zhang Hao remained calm and instead joked, "You're the number one beast tamer in Xuanhe Town, don't you even have this much confidence?"

Shao Yang gave a wry smile: "Brother Hao, you're joking. The number one beast tamer in our town is clearly..."

At this point, Shao Yang's thoughts seemed to be struck by lightning. He suddenly looked up and met Zhang Hao's half-smiling face. An idea popped into his mind: "Brother Hao, there is actually another way."

"I understand, I understand." Zhang Hao waved with a smile, then stretched out his arm, pointed due east, and shouted, "Go to Xuanhe Town and invite Advisor Chen!"

This place is only a few hundred meters away from Xuanhe Town. Consultant Chen can get here in a few minutes at most, which is precisely why Zhang Hao is so fearless in the face of a group of fiery monkeys.

The moment the words fell, a Floating Cloud Lark spread its wings and took flight, while a group of Floating Fire Spirit Monkeys pounced angrily.

On the farm,
The Frost Giant, having eaten and drunk his fill, sat cross-legged in the courtyard, looking curiously at his busy companions.

With a sullen expression, Runrun Duck stood by the fishpond, its pert rear end sticking out, looking down and stretching out its wings to count the spirit fish that were still left after today's welcoming ceremony.

"Gah."

One.

"quack."

两条
The more Runrun the duck counted, the more depressed she became. Her bad mood was clearly written on her face. Her wings drooped limply, and even her quacking became weak and powerless.

Although the fish grilled by the farmer and the fish soup he made were really delicious, Runrun Duck was still sad.

Suddenly, the farmer's voice rang out from behind: "Duck, come fishing with me this afternoon."

"Gah!"

Upon hearing this, Runrun Duck immediately raised its head, its eyes shining brightly, its wings flapping excitedly, and its rear end sticking out even higher.

It had already seen a group of spirit fish swimming towards it.

"call out"

The sudden shout interrupted the frost giant's observation. Looking down, he saw a tiny figure appear before him.

Scarred Rat stared at the bewildered Frost Giant, and for a moment, he saw himself when he first moved to the farm, just as confused, just as cautious, just as walking on thin ice.

Now that they are no longer the least experienced employees, let's help this new employee integrate into the farm as quickly as possible.

Scarred Rat looked at Runrun Duck and introduced it to Frost Giant: "Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Runrun Duck has a great personality and never gets involved in pointless fights. Its greatest pleasure every day is sunbathing.

But never covet the spirit fish in the fishpond, or Senior Runrun Duck will go berserk.

An angry Runrun Duck senior is terrifying!
The Frost Giant nodded thoughtfully.

Scarface Rat glanced at Electric Flying Cat, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, and continued, "Whoosh."

Electric Flying Cat likes to stay in the cabin and sleep a lot. It hardly participates in farm work, but it is very, very smart!

If you encounter something you can't figure out, you can't go wrong by asking Senior Electric Flying Cat!

The Frost Giant stared at the Electric Flying Cat, his thoughts swirling.

Giants are born strong, but they have a fatal flaw—they are not very bright.

When I return to the Giants' Court, I might be able to get Senior Electric Flying Cat to assist me.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Scarface Rat added in a low voice.

I heard that the senior Electric Flying Cat once had a sincere relationship, but it ended in regret.

Never, ever talk about this in front of it!

The frost giant nodded emphatically, his voice deep and resonant: "Roar!"

I do not know anything.

Scarred Rat was pleased with the new member's reaction. It was most afraid that a naive young man would join the farm and unintentionally cause trouble, indirectly affecting its family's life.

It continued to introduce farm members to the Frost Giant.

There are the largest group of Bean Chickens, the honest and kind Fallen Horned Beasts, the newly joined Sprite who is eager to be fed, and the Iron-Headed Kid who is said to be able to split a mountain in two with one stroke.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Speaking of this, Scarface Rat gave a serious reminder.

You can mess with anyone, but you can't mess with Senior Ironhead!

It had witnessed countless beast tamers being defeated by the Iron-Headed Child senior, until they cried out in despair.

"Roar"

The Frost Giant's eyes flickered, and more thoughts welled up within him.

If all the farm members could be invited to the Giants' Court, the court would usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity.

If the rancher is also invited to the royal court, and with the help of the Big Sister and Cola, the giant race will usher in the most powerful period in its history.

"Roar"

For a moment, the Frost Giant fell into deep thought.

How to kidnap your friends is the question.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Suddenly,
A clear, sharp cry rang out in the air above the farm. The little creatures all looked up, and the natural aura emanating from them instantly startled the lark, causing it to freeze and plummet straight down.

"Ow~"

Cola's eyes gleamed with a faint blue light, and an invisible spiritual force enveloped the Flowing Cloud Sparrow's entire body.

The Floating Lark's descent was immediately halted, and then its body flew uncontrollably toward Chen Yuan.

"Kick!"

At that moment, Tie Touwa suddenly rushed out of the farm gate, the sharp blade in front of him gleaming coldly, his piercing eyes fixed on Liu Yunque.

The awe-inspiring aura emanating from the boy made the Frost Giant's eyes widen, and his massive body trembled slightly due to the sinister aura emanating from the boy's eyes.

What a terrifying Iron-Headed Kid!

Then, Tie Touwa lowered his eyes, his face full of shame: "Click!"

It actually allowed a lark to wander into the farm.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright, it flew in from the sky, you don't need to worry about it."

"Crack."

When Tie Tou Wa saw that Liu Yun Que was surrounded by its friends, it first secretly blamed itself for being too lax in its vigilance, and then turned around and returned to its post.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Scarred Rat lowered his voice and spoke quietly to the Frost Giant.

Do you understand now?

Never mess with Ironhead, senior.

The Frost Giant nodded in deep agreement.

Chen Yuan placed the Flowing Cloud Sparrow in his palm, looked ahead, and asked gently, "Little one, is there something you need?"

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Liu Yunque's body was still trembling, but she did not forget her duty and recounted in detail what had happened.

After a while,
"Ouch!"

Excited Coke was the first to rush out of the farm, its wagging tail resembling a propeller.

It's going to steal the spotlight again!
Chen Yuan, accompanied by Huohua and the twin concubines, followed closely behind, then turned back to look at the little ones: "Who else wants to go?"

Runrun Duck wasn't interested, Dian Dian Flying Cat was busy watching TV, Fallen Horned Beast rushed over to ride Chen Yuan, Scarface Rat family watched silently, and Sprite trotted happily towards Cola Boss.

The Frost Giant looked around, then got up and followed Chen Yuan.

It wants to get to know this magical place better.
