Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 310 My name is Chen Yuan, and I always persuade people with reason.

Rumble!
When the Frost Giant strides across the snow, it looks like a blizzard wall from afar, its massive body sinking deep into the snow.

With each step, the ground would tremble violently, and snow dust, stirred up by the shockwave, would scatter everywhere.

Chen Yuan glanced at the Frost Giant and smiled, "No need to be in such a hurry."

Although Zhang Hao and his companions were of average strength and could not possibly defeat a group of Fiery Spirit Monkeys, they were more than capable of protecting themselves.

The habitat of the Fire Monkeys is very close to Xuanhe Town, and by the time I arrive, they might still be fighting fiercely.

The Frost Giant remained silent, only charging forward relentlessly.

It wanted to gain a deeper understanding of this magical place and invite all the powerful beasts to the Giant's Court to create an unprecedented golden age together.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Chen Yuan was in no hurry, but the Floating Cloud Sparrow leading the way looked anxious and kept flapping its thin wings.

After a while,

Led by the lark, Chen Yuan passed through a barren forest, where a huge hot spring with rising steam came into view.

This hot spring is much larger than the one in the cave. At a glance, it can accommodate at least a dozen people bathing at the same time.

Looking away, Chen Yuan turned his head and saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Yuan!"

Zhang Hao's voice was tinged with a sob. He and the other young cadres sat slumped on the ground, covered in dust and bruises, looking utterly miserable.

Lying on the ground in front of them were several pet beasts: a gray-armored wild boar, a fire-haired hound, and a water-walking cat.
Each of the pets was covered in wounds, its eyes were closed, and it was barely breathing.

Upon seeing Consultant Chen appear, the crowd instantly became excited, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope. Their mouths gradually widened, but this action aggravated the wound on their faces, causing them to gasp in shock.

"Pain Pain!"

Several fiery monkeys, which were leaping and guarding among the branches, turned their heads and gave a threatening growl at the newly appeared intruder.

"Ow!"

Cola faced the unfriendly gazes and took a half-step forward with a composed gait. Its light brown fur swayed gently in the cold wind, and its sharp eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling blue light.

Accompanied by a highly oppressive bark, ripples spread across the surface of the hot spring pool, and an invisible force of intimidation instantly bombarded the Fire Spirit Monkeys like a shockwave.

For a long time,

The previously snarling Fire Spirit Monkeys all collapsed, while Cola remained calm and composed, appearing completely unconcerned.

Just these few Fiery Monkeys?

Do I really need to personally handle such a small matter?
"How are you all?" Chen Yuan strode towards Zhang Hao and the others and asked.

Zhang Hao gently touched the wounds on his face and gave a wry smile: "It's alright, it's just that I got punched a few times, I won't die for now."

The other people's injuries were similar to Zhang Hao's, all being minor superficial wounds.

However, after a fierce battle, all the pets lost their fighting ability and will need some time to recover.

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the mess on the ground, Chen Yuan frowned and asked.

They were just trying to persuade the Fiery Monkey to move, how did they end up fighting?
Is this yet another unexpected accident?
"Hey"

With his face bruised and swollen, Zhang Hao first sighed deeply, then struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth and saying, "If anyone ever says that the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkey is gentle, I will never forgive them."

"The Fiery Spirit Monkey is clearly more violent and unreasonable than the Mighty Savage Monkey!"

With a curse, Zhang Hao took a deep breath and, as his agitated emotions gradually calmed down, recounted in detail what had happened.

"Just because you used this hot spring without permission?" Chen Yuan was taken aback.

Would the Fiery Monkey be so stingy?

"Yes! They are just that stingy!" Zhang Hao nodded emphatically, his anger barely contained.

But Zhang Hao was, after all, an outstanding young cadre who was about to be promoted to deputy director, and a business genius who aspired to become the richest man in Xuanhe Town. He suppressed his anger and began to seriously consider the matter.

As the unusual behavior of the Fire Spirit Monkeys flashed through his mind, and as the anomalies of the hot spring came to mind, his eyes flickered, and his voice was deep: "But some things are very strange."

Compared to Zhang Hao, who was deep in thought, Chen Yuan was calm and composed, and smiled slightly: "If you want to know the truth, just ask the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkey."

He paused, glanced around, and asked, "The other Fiery Spirit Monkeys?"

Chen Yuan's words immediately jolted Zhang Hao awake. He opened his eyes wide and hurriedly said, "After defeating us earlier, the other Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys disappeared, leaving only these few to watch over us."

"The commotion here will definitely attract their attention, and they'll probably be back soon."

"Brother Yuan, you..."

Zhang Hao was about to remind Chen Yuan to be careful and not to underestimate his opponent, who was a third-tier Fire Spirit Monkey. The previous punch had almost knocked the Gray Armored Mountain Boar unconscious instantly.

But when he looked up, Spark was standing on Chen Yuan's shoulder, its gaze indifferent, as if nothing could stir its emotions.
The adorable and well-behaved twin concubines hid in the pocket of a down jacket, with only their small heads peeking out, their smiles as bright as flowers, like shy little princesses;

The proud Cola stood tall to Chen Yuan's left, its streamlined body displaying terrifying explosive power, and two flowing black fur stripes revealing a touch of nobility.
Zhang Hao's gaze swept past the hungry Sprite and the barely noticeable Fallen Horned Beast, finally settling on the enormous figure that resembled a small snow mountain.

Where did Brother Yuan go to kidnap such a domineering pet beast?

The powerful pets gave Zhang Hao a strong sense of security. He swallowed his words of advice and waved excitedly, "Brother Yuan, give them a good beating and avenge me!"

Chen Yuan smiled and said nothing.

The next moment, a sharp whistling sound came from afar and quickly rang in my ears.

Zhang Hao was taken aback at first, then an indescribable excitement appeared on his face: "Brother Yuan, they're back!"

One by one, fiery monkeys covered in golden-red fur surrounded them from all directions. Some leaped back and forth on tree branches, while others ran wildly on the snow, like clusters of surging flames.

The menacing Fiery Monkeys were observed by Chen Yuan, who remained calm. After careful observation, he exclaimed in admiration, "They are quite beautiful."

Compared to other monkey pets, the Fire Monkey is significantly more attractive, after all, its predecessor was the famous Qinling Golden Monkey.

Compared to the monstrous monkeys that can easily reach two meters in height, the average height of the Fiery Spirit Monkey is only about one meter, making it look like a delicate, moving doll.

Despite its small size, the Fiery Monkey is no less powerful, truly deserving the description of being short, strong, and efficient.

It excels at close-quarters combat using fire-type moves, and once it gets serious, even the mighty monkey has to temporarily give way.

The group of Fiery Monkeys came from all directions. When the leader of the Fiery Monkeys saw his clan members who were intimidated by the cola, his anger intensified. His indigo face became extremely distorted, and the golden-red patterns covering his thick arms shone brightly.

A chilling aura erupted from the leader of the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, enraging the rest of the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys. Sharp cries rose and fell, unleashing terrifying power that shook the area.

At a glance, this group of Fiery Monkeys numbered about twenty, which could be considered a medium-sized pet beast group.

According to the standards of the Beast Tamer Association, a group of less than 20 beasts is considered a small beast group, 20 to 100 beasts is considered a medium-sized beast group, and more than 100 beasts is considered a large beast group.

There are many small and medium-sized pet beast groups near Xuanhe Town, but there is only one large pet beast group, which is the Frog Clan below Mingyu Lake.

This group of Fiery Monkeys is quite large, and with their third-tier leader, they are considered a powerful pet beast group in the Qinling Mountains.

But they were far from enough to compete with Chen Yuan.

He secretly admired the Fiery Monkey's exceptionally good looks, but his expression remained calm, and his voice, though composed, carried an undeniable power: "Let's finish this quickly."

He didn't rush to explain the misunderstanding to the group of fiery monkeys; he decided to subdue them first.

The moment the words left his mouth, the battle ignited!
"Chirp!"

The seemingly harmless spark took the lead and soared into the sky. Its magnificent wings emitted bursts of light golden flames, and its long tail feathers overflowed with colorful light, like a rainbow stretching across the sky after a storm.

When the fire-breathing bird transformed into a golden sun hanging in mid-air, its golden-red eyes exuded endless nobility and majesty. The raging flames that almost burned the sky to ashes instilled fear in most of the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, causing them to let out restless howls.

The next moment,

Spark opened its beak, its mouth churning with scorching sparks, and suddenly a blazing pillar of fire erupted, the heat surging and distorting the air. The terrifying force of the flames terrified the Fire Spirit Monkeys; they screamed and fled as the pillar of fire, like a roaring fire dragon, bombarded their entire bodies in an instant, igniting their fur.

After a while, the flames dissipated, and several fiery monkeys, their beautiful fur charred and disheveled, collapsed helplessly to the ground, spewing black smoke.

"Ow!"

Of course, Cola wouldn't just stand by and watch the boss steal the spotlight. She suddenly darted forward, leaving a trail of afterimages in her wake.

The power of the gale surged around him, and he seemed to transform into a brown lightning bolt, instantly cutting into the monkey troop and shattering their formation with gusts of wind.

As Cola launched its savage charge, a fierce wind howled around it, instantly converging into several visible semi-circular wind blades that slashed precisely and ruthlessly at the Fiery Spirit Monkeys like high-speed spinning flywheels!

Accompanied by a series of shrill, distorted roars, the Fiery Monkeys fell one after another.

"Ow~"

Cola raised its head, wagged its tail, and glanced casually at the leader of the group, who was flying in mid-air, with a smug look on its face.

When it comes to group combat, it's a professional.

As soon as Spark and Cola made their move, half of the Fiery Monkeys fell instantly, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

This sudden change excited Zhang Hao and his group, who cheered repeatedly; while the remaining Fiery Monkeys fell silent, their faces filled with fear.

For a time, not a single Fiery Monkey dared to retaliate.

However, the leader of the Fiery Monkeys was not intimidated by Spark and Cola's terrifying record. After a quick glance, it understood that as long as Chen Yuan was dealt with, it could take control of the battle.

The leader of the Fiery Monkeys' eyes sharpened, golden flames surged around him, and he stomped his legs hard on the snow, unleashing a tremendous impact.

Snowflakes flew as the leader of the Fiery Monkeys transformed into a blurry, invisible golden light, hurtling straight toward Chen Yuan.

In the blink of an eye, the leader of the Fiery Monkeys had already traversed dozens of meters, his figure moving like a ghost as he rapidly approached Chen Yuan, his powerful legs kicking towards the latter.

"Brother Yuan, be careful!" Zhang Hao shouted upon seeing this.

Seeing the golden light flashing and the gale howling, Chen Yuan's black hair swaying and his clothes flying, he remained calm and composed, turning his gaze to the Frost Giant beside him.

"Roar!"

The silent, snow giant resembled a miniature snow mountain. Its blue and white ice armor, covering its entire body, reflected a cold light under the sunlight. It silently raised its right fist, unleashing a powerful punch with the force to shatter mountains, at the onrushing Fiery Monkey!
Rock-type move, Mountain Breaker!

Boom——!
The dull thud was as if the heart of the earth had been squeezed hard, and a gust of earthy yellow fist wind roared out from the Frost Giant, heading straight for the Fire Spirit Monkey leader!
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The Fiery Monkey leader's Molten Gold Stomp collided fiercely with the Frost Giant's Mountain-Shattering Fist, and a powerful shockwave spread rapidly in all directions, sweeping away the snowflakes.

For a long time,

After the collision ended, the Fiery Monkey was hit by a huge force and took two steps back. Its golden-red fur flew wildly under the shockwave, and its golden vertical pupils stared ahead.

The seemingly indestructible, thick ice armor began to crack, and the frost giant's massive body staggered back dozens of steps uncontrollably, finally collapsing to its knees on the snow with a deafening roar.

"Roar"

But the Frost Giant did not fall. It was panting heavily and still had the strength to resist the subsequent attacks from the leader of the Fiery Monkeys.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but cast an approving glance at him: "Not bad."

The leader of the Fiery Monkeys is at the third tier, while the Frost Giant is only at the second tier. The difference seems huge, but the latter was able to withstand a single skill from the former without falling down, which is enough to show the Frost Giant's great strength.

Despite the Frost Giant being injured and its condition severely deteriorating, it was a victory as long as it wasn't killed in one hit.

"Roar"

The Frost Giant looked at the nonchalant Big Sister and Cola, but was dissatisfied with his own strength.

If I were as powerful as them, this Fire Spirit Monkey leader would definitely be no match for me.

"Ouch!"

At the same moment, Coca-Cola flew into a rage.

This guy actually dared to attack his master; he clearly doesn't respect me at all!
The wind is coming!

After a while,
The Fire Spirit Monkey's robust body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a tree trunk before falling to the ground. The intense golden-red light around its body instantly dimmed, and the anger in its eyes was replaced by boundless shock and fear.

In just a few breaths,

A fierce wind blew, his body swayed, and he was injured all over. His proud close-combat skills were completely crushed in front of this big dog.

"Ow!"

Seeing that the leader of the Fiery Monkeys had been severely injured, Cola looked down at him with disdain and snorted coldly.

This is what happens when you attack your master!

Then, Cola scurried up to Chen Yuan, lowered his head, and looked like he was sincerely admitting his mistake.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "It's nothing."

The attack by the Fire Monkey seemed sudden, but the little guys were all around him, so it couldn't possibly harm him.

"Ouch~~"

After admitting his mistake, Cola wagged its tail and panted, as if seeking praise, just to get a compliment from Chen Yuan.

at the same time,

Zhang Hao, hands on his hips, swaggered toward the leader of the Fiery Monkeys, his smile arrogant, his face beaming with the joy of revenge: "Serves you right for hitting me! Now you know you were wrong!"

"Whoosh!"

Although the Fiery Monkey was intimidated by the power of Spark and Cola, it glared angrily at Zhang Hao, a fierce glint appearing on its indigo face.

Zhang Hao wasn't intimidated. He glared fiercely at the leader of the Fiery Monkeys, ready to continue venting his anger, when he felt Shao Yang tug at his sleeve.

He turned his head and looked at me, his face full of confusion.

Shao Yang lowered his voice: "Don't forget our mission this time."

Zhang Hao suddenly came to his senses, his anger instantly dissipating, and a warm smile appeared on his face, showing no trace of his previous arrogance and haughtiness: "Are you alright? Do you need me to help you up?"

The leader of the Fiery Monkeys continued to stare at Zhang Hao, who was now completely different.

Zhang Hao smiled brightly and spoke gently, as if the previous conflict had never happened: "This is a misunderstanding. We had no intention of trespassing into this area, nor did we have any intention of competing with you for the hot springs."

The leader of the Fiery Monkeys was still furious.

Chen Yuan walked slowly to Zhang Hao's side, looked down at the leader of the Fiery Monkeys, and said calmly, "You live in these mountains, so you may have heard of my name."

"My name is Chen Yuan, and I always persuade people with reason."

"I can tell you definitively that this is a misunderstanding."

The Fiery Monkey raised its eyes, glanced at the soaring Spark, the grinning Cola, and the immovable Frost Giant, and nodded decisively.

If you say it's a misunderstanding, then it's a misunderstanding.

Zhang Hao's eyes widened: "???"

Chen Yuan's lips curled up: "That's why you have to subdue the pet beasts first, and then let them reason with you on their own."

After saying this, Chen Yuan half-squatted down and looked directly at the leader of the Fiery Monkeys: "Tell me, why are you so angry?"

"Just because they soaked in the hot springs?"

Upon hearing this question, the leader of the Fiery Monkeys was enraged once more, and a sharp howl rang out: "Hiss!"

Recently, a guy has been sneaking into hot springs every day. Not only that, he's ruined the hot springs!
