Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 318 (Chapter 317): A fierce storm dyes the sea red!
The dark clouds, like an overturned inkwell, instantly blackened the entire sky, and the previously sparkling sea suddenly became gloomy and dark.

A fierce wind suddenly swept in from nowhere, and the calm sea was suddenly churned with waves.

The intense stench of blood was amplified by the salty sea breeze. Two even larger shadowy figures underwater, following the scent of blood, silently sliced ​​through the murky water, rapidly swimming towards the carcass of the raging shark and the fishing boat that was quietly floating on the surface.

The two raging sharks that suddenly appeared did not rush to show themselves. Instead, they swam rapidly in the deeper waters, their massive bodies creating huge undercurrents that caused the ship to rock violently.

The strong winds made the boat rock even more violently, causing everyone on board to lose their balance and cling tightly to the railings to avoid falling.

Chen Yuan stepped forward, standing firm against the raging wind, his eyes sharp as knives: "Spark, Cola, take care of them!"

When the calm and collected voice rang in her ears, Xiao Nan, whose expression had changed drastically, regained her composure and stared blankly ahead.

A clear, melodious cry, loud enough to tear through the thick dark clouds, resounded across the sky. The fire-breathing bird perched on Advisor Chen's shoulder suddenly flapped its wings, its body swelling in the wind.

Almost instantly, a magnificent Fiery Falcon with a wide wingspan and an exquisite body stood proudly beneath the sky, its feathers like flowing molten gold, constantly surging with faint golden flames.

As the Blazing Falcon swiftly soared into the air, its long, magnificent tail feathers trailed a dazzling seven-colored trail in the gale, like a brilliant rainbow bridge spanning between the dark clouds and the sea.

"Chirp!"

The spark hovered proudly, radiating a warm glow that dispelled the gloom, forcefully creating a golden dome beneath the leaden-gray clouds, like a golden sun ignited against a somber sky.

"Is this Consultant Chen's Blazing Falcon?"

All three of them looked at Chixiao Nijun at the same time. Her elegant and noble figure was deeply imprinted in their minds and could not be forgotten for a long time.

Thanks to Zhang Bai, Xiao Nan and Uncle Tian both gained some understanding of the Blazing Sky Falcon. They knew that the reason why the Flame Cloud Falcon was able to advance into the Blazing Sky Falcon was inseparable from Chen Yuan's independent research.

He is not only the most outstanding and famous beast tamer in Qin Province, but also a genius researcher who has shocked the entire academic world.

Perhaps in countless long days, Consultant Chen not only had to devise the most scientific and effective training and nurturing methods for the pets, but also had to hunch over his desk and explore the correct advancement conditions for the Flame Cloud Falcon through repeated failures and setbacks.

Sweat and hard work have led to Consultant Chen's current success.

Zhang Bai was filled with emotion: "He has both talent and the ability to work hard. No wonder Consultant Chen has achieved such great success."

"Ow!"

Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to the boss, Cola snorted and transformed into a swift, light brown figure, silently leaping out from Chen Yuan's side.

The cola did not fall onto the deck or the sea surface. Instead, it seemed to be stepping on invisible vortex steps, quickly rising into the air and then hovering steadily above the sea surface.

Two pure black, ribbon-like hair bands encircling its body fluttered like banners in the suddenly intensified gale, carrying a silent rhythm.

Cola's gaze was no longer its usual gentle one, but sharp as a blade, piercing straight into the churning giant shadow beneath the water.

Beneath its light brown fur, its muscles bulged and bulged, and a suppressed yet powerful low growl emanated from its throat. An invisible force controlled the air around it, gradually converging it into a whirlwind that stirred the sea: "Roar!"

The imposing Coca-Cola attracted attention, drawing everyone's gaze.

"This is the Wind-Riding Dog that can fly," Xiao Nan murmured.

The aerial battle between the Wind-Riding Hound and the Frostblade of the Sky Feather once sparked heated discussions across the internet, and witnessing it in person now is even more breathtaking.

For a moment, the two pets hovered in mid-air, looking down at the two raging sharks swimming underwater across the dark sea surface. The two intense pressures emanating from them were like tangible shockwaves crashing down upon them.

The seawater surged, and the giant shark trembled.

The next moment, the two ferocious and violent sea sharks emitted a hoarse and strange buzzing sound, suddenly swung their huge tails, stirring up turbid waves and foam, and turned around without hesitation, swimming back the way they came.

They swim extremely fast, covering dozens of meters in an instant, their reflections in the eyes of onlookers rapidly shrinking.

Xiao Nan was taken aback: "Even the raging sea shark can run away?"

Even when faced with a formidable foe, the ferocious, raging sea sharks will fight to the bitter end. Their terrifying wounds and flowing blood will only fuel their rage, and in their berserk state, they will launch a relentless attack.

Unless the enemy is so powerful that they have no will to resist.

Uncle Tian gazed into the distance, his voice deep: "Even the most ferocious pet has its own rules for survival; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to grow up smoothly from its cub stage."

Clearly, the appearance of Spark and Cola instilled fear in these two raging sharks, and this fear suppressed their ferocious and violent nature, allowing them to make the choice that best suited their hearts.

Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch them escape: "Chase after them."

Sparks emitted a clear, melodious screech, and the exquisite golden figure drew a dazzling streak of light in the air. Its flapping, broad wings shook off bursts of sparks, splashing onto the sea and stirring up a cloud of white mist.

Its calm golden eyes locked onto the raging shark on its left, its long neck suddenly straightened, and its magnificent beak, as if cast from molten gold, opened wide.

At the same time, Chen Yuan's thoughts surged: "Flame Surge!"

A blinding, thick pillar of fire erupted from the spark nozzle, the accompanying heat wave scattering the air and producing a deafening explosion.

Before everyone's eyes, a blazing pillar of fire roared down from the sky, instantly evaporating the seawater in its path. At that moment, the entire sea seemed to be ablaze with raging flames.

The flames pierced through the turbulent sea surface and plunged into the water without hindrance, striking the back of the raging shark that had just turned halfway to try to dodge!

In that instant, white mist surged beneath the sea, and countless sea creatures fled in panic, turning the area into chaos.

The raging sea shark, struck by the flames, along with the surrounding waters within a radius of several meters, instantly transformed into a boiling sea of ​​golden-red fire!
The pillar of fire, carrying extreme heat, even scorched a huge hole in the seawater several meters below, with steam roaring and shooting into the sky—a scene that was deeply awe-inspiring.

The raging shark that had been frantically fleeing just half a minute ago now floated motionless on the surface of the sea, its massive, charred body afloat.

With just one strike, the raging sea shark was completely rendered unable to fight.

Zhang Bai was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he finally spoke up, looking completely bewildered: "Is this reasonable?"

This is seawater, this is a water-attribute raging sea shark, how can a fire-attribute blazing sky falcon cause such terrifying destruction?
But when he recalled Chen Yuan's illustrious achievements, he fell silent for a moment.

The Blazing Falcon instantly killed its opponent, which seemed perfectly reasonable to Consultant Chen.

[Defeat the Tier 3 pet beast, Raging Sea Shark, and gain 0.5 Source Points]

A pleasant system voice sounded in his ear, but Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged; he was not surprised by Spark's performance.

It should be noted that Spark is already at the peak of the third-tier Great Perfection, a powerful being halfway to the fourth tier, and with his far superior skill proficiency, it would be strange if he couldn't kill the Raging Sea Shark in one hit.

Furthermore, these two ferocious sea sharks were only a few meters from the surface of the sea, and the current power of the Flame Surge was just enough to pierce through the surface of the sea and cause huge damage to the ferocious sea sharks.

If they were to dive into the ocean, even the formidable Spark would be powerless to do anything about it.

It was, after all, just an ordinary third-tier pet beast, far, far from being able to evaporate the ocean with a single burst of flame. In short, the raging sea shark, which had not yet submerged into the seabed, gave Spark an opportunity.

Coca-Cola also seized this excellent opportunity.

"Ow—!"

The cola hovered in mid-air, letting out a deep roar from its throat. The two black ribbons that surrounded its body fluttered back and forth at an even faster speed. Suddenly, its eyes sharpened, and it opened its mouth wide to take a deep breath!
In an instant, a strong wind suddenly arose.

The surging air currents converged and compressed wildly around it, and countless tiny wind blades spun rapidly around it and took shape.

This wasn't just one or a few wind blades, but a dense, overwhelming array of wind blades!

These condensed, tangible wind blades, accompanied by a piercing shriek that cuts through everything, burst through the air and instantly covered the sea surface between Cola and another raging shark that was fleeing in disarray!
Bang bang bang!
The sharp storm formed by wind blades instantly cut into the sea surface, causing waves to surge. Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the churned sea surface splashed up huge columns of water, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Countless wind blades pierced the sea surface, accompanied by sharp explosions, and struck directly at another raging sea shark!

An overwhelming sense of terror surged within him. The raging shark thrashed its massive tail wildly, its enormous head pointing downwards, attempting to dive into the sea to escape the attack.

The deafening explosions, so dense they sent chills down your spine, drew ever closer. The seawater behind you seemed to be sliced ​​apart by countless wind blades, and an extreme sense of danger pressed in ever more.

In the next instant, the wind blade struck the raging sea shark.

Its proud, thick, and tough skin was utterly vulnerable to the sharp wind blades. Its dorsal fin, which resembled a battle axe, was the first to be torn open, followed by countless fine and deep wounds that revealed the bone, which instantly covered its entire body, staining the sea red with crimson blood.

The same instant kill.

Looking at the seawater stained red with blood, Cola couldn't help but frown. It seemed to dislike the seawater, so it controlled a gale to howl out, sweeping up the seawater and blowing away the bloodstains.

Before long, the sea returned to calm, and the salty sea breeze no longer carried the smell of blood, but the rolling dark clouds still covered the sea, making the whole world gloomy.

This was the first time Zhang Bai and his two companions had witnessed the might of the Blazing Sky Falcon and the Wind-Riding Hound. They were so engrossed in the shocking scene of the instant kill that they remained in a daze for a long time.

Suddenly, a pale bolt of lightning tore through the gloomy sky, illuminating the churning sea with its blinding flash. The muffled thunder that followed made eardrums buzz, and even the deck beneath our feet groaned and trembled.

The crowd snapped out of their shock and looked up at the sky.

The sky grew even darker, and the accumulated dark clouds resembled a ferocious beast, shattering the entire sky.

Until a raindrop landed on Zhang Bai's head, he reached up and touched it, his expression changing drastically: "It's raining?"

Chen Yuan held out his palm, letting a raindrop fall into it, then nodded: "It is indeed raining."

At the same time, an idea uncontrollably surged into Chen Yuan's mind: if his younger brother were here, he would definitely be the first to know that it was raining.

After all, everyone else had their heads covered by hair, but Chen Wenhao, whose hair was sparse, was different.

"Ow!"

Unlike ducks that love to bask in the sun, Cola actually enjoys the rain.

It hopped and jumped around on the deck, raising its head to greet the raindrops falling on it, its excited cries echoing throughout.

But after a short while, large raindrops suddenly began to fall heavily, heavy and dense, like millions of cold bullets hitting the sea and the ship, creating a deafening roar.

At this moment, the once calm sea surface seemed to be violently kneaded by an invisible giant hand, and the surging waves rose up like dark mountains, only to collapse with a crash.

The ship beneath my feet rocked violently on the turbulent sea. The deck was instantly washed into a slippery wetland by the rain. The angle of inclination made it difficult to stand, and the surging seawater swept onto the deck.

"Quickly! Back to the cabin!"

Uncle Tian's voice was muffled by the thunder and rain, but it carried an undeniable urgency.

The people on deck staggered, each clinging tightly to the gunwale or rigging, struggling and quickly retreating toward the cabin entrance amidst the torrential rain and the ship's violent, out-of-control rocking.

Rain blurred my vision, and the salty, icy seawater mixed with the rain soaked my whole body, bringing a bone-chilling cold.

"Ow~"

Cola ignored everything, and was even more excited by the sudden downpour. It raised its head high, roared at the top of its lungs in the storm, and wagged its tail in an excited rhythm.

"come on in!"

Chen Yuan grabbed Cola by the tail and forcibly dragged it into the cabin.

"Ow!"

Cola grinned at Chen Yuan, a sly glint in its eyes, and then suddenly shook its head and body rapidly, spraying a large amount of water droplets at Chen Yuan.

But Chen Yuan seemed to have been prepared. The moment Cola shook his head, he had an idea, and a light blue mental energy shield rose around him, keeping all the water droplets out.

Seeing its owner's reaction, Cola suddenly opened its eyes wide.

Cheating!

Master, you cheated!
Chen Yuan smiled slightly at Cola: "That trick hasn't worked on me for a long time."

Whenever it rains, Cola, who loves playing in the water, would play this prank, so Chen Yuan was prepared.

Compared to Chen Yuan, who remained calm and composed amidst the raging storm, Zhang Bai's expression was exceptionally grave. He forcefully closed the cabin door, shutting out the sound of thunder and rain, but the ship's continuous violent rocking still testified to the ferocity of the storm outside.

Zhang Bai peered out the window, his face tense. He turned to Uncle Tian and said helplessly, "Uncle Tian, ​​your jinx is working again."

Uncle Tian glared at Zhang Bai with annoyance and slowly said, "This is about finding objective laws in the development process of things, not about jinxing."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Tian, ​​whatever you say is right."

Zhang Bai's joking voice dispelled the heavy atmosphere in the cabin. He looked at Chen Yuan, whose face was calm, and smiled: "Advisor Chen, it's inevitable to encounter this kind of weather when going out to sea. We're used to it."

He paused, then patted the steel hull forcefully, adding, "Don't worry, this little bit of wind and waves won't affect this ship."

"It will only affect subsequent actions."

His deep gaze swept across the storm outside the window. He lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "I hope this storm passes quickly."

This sudden storm not only caught Chen Yuan and his men off guard, but also caused hardship to other ships on the sea.

Li Zhen was one of the victims.
