Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 319 Spark Appears! Saving the Desperate Crowd!
The storm raged, with raging waves crashing against the shore.

"This awful weather."

Li Zhen stood on the slippery deck, his body swaying slightly as the fishing boat was battered by the waves, his face already wet with rain.

Gale-force winds and torrential rain are the last thing any team going out to sea wants to encounter.

Especially when he is hunting prey.

The raging sea shark with the strength of the third tier in front has been fighting with the wave fist ape for a long time. The former is a ferocious water overlord who is extremely good at water combat, while the latter is a tough-skinned and skilled amphibious giant ape.

Once the two clashed, they treated this sea as their battlefield, stirring up towering waves, and the outcome remained uncertain for a long time.

Unlike Zhang Bai's team, with whom he had a partnership, Li Zhen, as the owner of the battle club, hired a group of crew members who only played a supporting role.

In every battle, Li Zhen fought alone.

After all, he didn't even care about the rewards for this extermination mission; he only hoped to hone himself by using these ferocious, raging sharks.

However, the raging sea shark was so powerful that even the wave-fisted water ape couldn't defeat it for a while.

The two sides remained deadlocked for a long time until dark clouds rolled in, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down.

Despite the several ferocious bloodstains on the raging sea shark's body, the blood fueled its ferocity, making its counterattack even more ferocious. Its huge tail fin slammed out towering waves, churning the ships like leaves in the wind.

At the same moment,

The lightning that had previously torn the sky roared again, and the long-brewing gale, carrying an even more violent downpour, poured down, pushing the already violently rocking fishing boat to the crest of the wave!
The wounded, furious shark suddenly seized the perfect opportunity given by nature. A glimmer of light flashed in its turbid giant eyes. It abandoned its continued entanglement with the wave-fisted aquatic monkey, swung its huge tail fin, turned around, stirred up the waves, and swam straight toward the fishing boat!

The massive, dark body, lifted up by the towering waves, was like a black cannon that suddenly exploded, crashing with tremendous force into the side of the violently rocking fishing boat!

boom!
A terrifying force crashed down, rocking the fishing boat violently. The crew members stumbled and nearly fell, clinging tightly to the railing with expressions of terror on their faces.

*Snap!*

Suddenly, a terrifying cracking sound pierced through the wind and rain, and amidst the gasps of the crowd, the raging shark opened its menacing jaws, its teeth gleaming with a chilling light, and bit a huge hole in the side of the ship!
In an instant, the icy, bone-chilling seawater surged into the ship like a burst dam!
Someone shouted in terror, "The water's coming in!"

The storm raged, the sea surged, and the ship, doubly struck, quickly lost its last balance and began to tilt and sink at a frightening speed, seemingly about to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Li Zhen's pupils contracted sharply, rainwater mixed with the salty smell of the seawater streamed down his resolute face, and he cursed angrily, "Damn it."

He first cursed the ship manufacturer in his heart, then frowned deeply as he looked at the raging sharks swimming near the ship.

If it weren't for this sudden storm, the raging sharks wouldn't have had such a good opportunity to counterattack.

But what's done is done, and dwelling on it is pointless. The most urgent thing is to think of a solution.

Thunder rumbled and wind and rain raged. In the most critical moment, he displayed the calm and decisiveness of a high-level beast tamer, roaring sharply, "Abandon ship! Get on the lifeboats! Quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the crew grasped at a last straw. They scrambled and rolled across the violently rocking and rapidly sinking deck, rushing as fast as they could towards the small lifeboat that was being battered by the waves.

The sinking of the fishing boat was a done deal; only this lifeboat could take them away safely.

Li Zhen was the last to run to the side of the boat. With the agility of a cheetah, he flipped and leaped into the lifeboat, which was swaying in the wind and rain. Everyone struggled to pull him back.

Amidst the surging waves, the small yellow lifeboat was like a leaf thrown into the river and sea, instantly swallowed up by the towering waves!
"pay close attention!"

"yue"

Even the most experienced fishermen would panic in this situation, with everyone on the boat screaming and gripping the ropes tightly.

The waves crashed against the lifeboat, and the raging shark instantly shifted its target, its fierce eyes locking onto the small boat as its massive body rammed into it, accompanied by huge waves.

"We have to take care of this guy first!"

Li Zhen's eyes sharpened, knowing that only by dealing with this raging sea shark could he survive.

However, the sudden storm turned this sea area into the domain of raging sharks, and the wave-fisted apes couldn't do anything about it for the time being.

Unlike sturdy fishing boats, lifeboats pose a life-threatening danger to everyone on board if attacked by a raging shark.

"Damn it, I should have known better than to participate in this event."

Li Zhen secretly regretted his actions, but he was powerless to change the current situation and could only place his last hope on the Wave Fist Water Ape.

The Wave Fist Ape raced wildly across the turbulent sea, its thick arms suddenly tightening to tightly embrace the massive tail fin of the raging sea shark.

"Roar!"

The roar of the Wave Fist Water Ape tore through the wind and rain. It used all its strength to violently swing the fin of the raging sea shark, throwing it into the distant sea and stirring up a towering column of water.

However, this can only temporarily delay the raging sea sharks' offensive momentum.

Before long, the raging shark returned. This time, it changed its strategy, diving deep into the sea and swimming silently like an underwater assassin. The howling wind, the surging rain, and the churning sea concealed its presence.

"Be careful."

A thought flashed through Li Zhen's mind, and he issued a reminder.

The Water Ape with Wave Fist stayed by the lifeboat, keeping watch over the surroundings, while the crew members sent out their respective pets to help keep watch.

The wind lashed my cheeks, the rain soaked my body, and the giant shark was nowhere to be seen.

Just as a sudden surge of waves arose beneath the ship, a tremendous force seemed poised to capsize the lifeboat, Li Zhen's gaze sharpened: "It's down there!"

The Wave Fist Water Ape let out a low growl and plunged into the seabed with its fist in hand. But a huge black shadow suddenly burst into view without warning, its momentum so fast and terrifying that even the Wave Fist Water Ape, who was prepared, did not react in time.

boom!
The Wave Fist Water Ape suffered a severe blow to its body. The immense force sent it flying dozens of meters, forming a perfect parabola on the stormy sea before crashing heavily onto the surface.

boom!
Water splashed everywhere, and water jets shot into the sky.

Li Zhen's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Wave Fist Water Ape!"

The good news is that the Wave Fist Water Ape did not lose its ability to move. It shook its head and struggled to get up.

The bad news is that the raging shark has already closed in on the lifeboat, its terrifying jaws wide open, revealing its sharp fangs.

The raging shark swam forward, and a wave several meters high surged up in its wake.

The lifeboat was tossed high into the air by the huge wave, almost vertically soaring to the crest of the wave, only to crash violently into the abyss the next second. Icy seawater poured down from above, instantly filling the lifeboat. The biting cold and the helplessness of being swallowed by the giant wave instantly eroded everyone's will.

Ahead lay a ferocious giant shark, behind lay a raging storm; the group was shrouded in the shadow of despair.
"Chirp!"

Just then, a clear and penetrating screech suddenly rang out, piercing through the thick dark clouds and resounding loudly in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden-red light pierced through the gloomy sky, tearing apart the dark clouds, like a golden sun igniting the heavens.

In a daze, everyone looked up, forgetting the danger around them, as if they had seen paradise.

No, that's not heaven!
This is a magnificent and extraordinary beast. Its beautiful wings are like sharp swords piercing the darkness, and every feather shimmers with dazzling light in the dim light. Its massive body remains motionless in the gale.

It came from the sky, and the moment it appeared, it dispelled the darkness and spread warmth.

The unknown pet beast drew closer and closer to them, its exquisite and delicate body, and the golden flames surging around it, captivating everyone.

Just then, the second wave of the raging shark crashed in, and just as the lifeboat was about to be mercilessly swept into the sea by the wave, the unknown beast hovered above everyone, its outstretched giant claws grabbing the tossed lifeboat with irresistible force! The next second, the yellow lifeboat was lifted off the turbulent sea by a huge lift, escaping the desperate situation.

Its magnificent, wide wings flapped violently, stirring up a torrent of air that dispersed the surrounding rain.

Ignoring the raging waves below, the unidentified pet smoothly and swiftly carried the heavy lifeboat across the turbulent sea.

This sudden turn of events left everyone on board bewildered, and even the raging shark was momentarily stunned.

As the lifeboat drifted further and further away, the raging shark suddenly turned around, swung its massive body and chased after it. Then it leaped into the air, its gaping maw ready to devour the lifeboat.

The chillingly sharp teeth were reflected in their eyes, making everyone dizzy, but then a powerful, oppressive hissing sound suddenly rang in their ears: "Chirp!"

The moment the sound rang out, the raging sea shark seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. Its expression changed drastically, and its body plummeted straight down.

boom!
The massive impact created a huge splash, and the raging sea shark stared blankly at the unknown pet flying in mid-air.

It had just caught a whiff of its own kind's blood on this pet.

"Roar!!!"

In that instant, the Wave Fist Water Ape, having regained its mobility, suddenly leaped out and unleashed a powerful punch at the Raging Sea Shark.

boom!
A sharp white light burst forth, and this powerful punch, brimming with immense force, sent the raging shark flying, crashing back into the sea.

The Wave Fist Ape pressed its advantage, charging forward and unleashing a series of heavy blows with both fists. The swirling wind from its punches wove together into an impenetrable net, completely enveloping the raging sea shark.

After a while,
The Wave-Fist Water Ape withdrew its blood-stained fists, took a deep breath aimed at the raging sea shark that was completely incapacitated, and roared.

It finally won.

Seeing that the troublesome and hateful raging shark had finally been defeated, the crew members on the boat were initially bewildered, but then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy: "We won!"

"we won!"

The crowd cheered, but Li Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at the surging sea, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

Although the raging shark was defeated, the storm did not stop, and the fishing boat had sunk. The lifeboat could not withstand the raging sea.

Even in despair, there is still hope for survival.

Li Zhen subconsciously raised his head and looked at the unknown pet that was clinging to the lifeboat, his face filled with undisguised shock.

This pet beast was enormous and possessed unimaginable strength, which enabled it to grip the lifeboat and fly steadily across the sea.

Li Zhen had never seen such a powerful pet beast before.

But is this pet a friend or foe?
Where is it planning to take the lifeboat?

One question after another arose in Li Zhen's mind. While retracting the exhausted Wave Fist Water Ape, he reassured the crew: "This pet doesn't seem to be hostile to us. Everyone, let's get some rest."

He had clearly seen that even the enraged sea shark in its berserk state dared not attack this pet, so its strength must be terrifying.

They have no power to resist now, so they might as well let nature take its course.

Anyway, this pet looks completely different from the inherently evil raging sea shark, so it probably doesn't have any malicious intent.

The Fiery Falcon flew steadily through the storm, dispelling the darkness as it skimmed across the turbulent sea, gradually approaching a fishing boat struggling and bobbing in the wind and rain.

Looking at the familiar blue-painted fishing boat, Li Zhen was stunned: "Isn't this Zhang Bai's fishing boat?"

"Is this pet related to him?"

With doubts in their hearts, they saw the giant bird that had seized the lifeboat fly straight toward the fishing boat. Their eyes leaped through the dim sky and dense rain curtain and saw Zhang Bai waving frantically on the deck in the distance.

Li Zhen immediately understood and subconsciously looked at the giant bird.

Sure enough, this giant bird was related to Zhang Bai.

A moment later, the enormous shadow cast by the Blazing Falcon landed in the relatively calm waters next to the fishing boat, accompanied by strong air currents. Its huge claws gently and smoothly placed the lifeboat under the side of the large ship.

"Come up quickly!"

Despite the torrential rain, Zhang Bai stretched out his right hand to the people on the boat.

As everyone left the lifeboats and stepped onto the slippery deck, expressions of relief and joy appeared on their faces, and they were finally able to breathe a long sigh of relief.

They were finally saved.

This will be an unforgettable day for everyone.

At that moment, all they could hear was the sound of raindrops hitting the ship and the roar of waves crashing against the hull. The thick, dark clouds overhead silently witnessed their perilous escape.

"Zhang Bai, what exactly is going on?"

Li Zhen collected his thoughts and quickly walked towards Zhang Bai, asking the question that had been lingering in his mind.

He had a good relationship with Zhang Bai and the others, and had never heard of these three having contracted such a powerful pet beast.

"Chirp."

Just then, the mysterious bird's golden-red eyes swept over the crowd, and it let out a long, clear cry. It gently flapped its wings, and with a dazzling white light, it transformed into a small, fire-breathing bird.

The fire-breathing bird flew forward and landed steadily on the shoulder of the black-haired youth who had just stepped out of the cabin.

Li Zhen looked up and saw that the black-haired youth had a handsome face and a tall stature. He was dressed in casual beach clothes, and to his left stood a majestic dog that was now listless and sighing.

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Bai pointed at the black-haired youth, a hint of smugness in his laughter: "I told you yesterday that an important friend has come to Binhai City."

After a brief silence, Li Zhen asked in a hoarse voice, "This is your important friend?"

Zhang Bai nodded smugly, then solemnly introduced in an almost announcer-like tone: "Let me introduce you. This is Consultant Chen from Qin Province. He is currently the sole consultant of the Qin Province Beast Tamer Association, and..."

"No need to say anything more." Li Zhen interrupted, his eyes fixed on Chen Yuan. "I'm not so out of touch that I haven't heard of Consultant Chen's illustrious name."

After saying this, he glanced at the smiling Consultant Chen, then at the seemingly docile and adorable fire-breathing bird, and a myriad of thoughts welled up in his mind.

The awe-inspiring scene of the Blazing Falcon tearing through the clouds and darkness, and its composed posture as it grabbed the lifeboat and swept across the turbulent sea, reappeared in my mind. All of this seemed to have nothing to do with the fire-breathing bird in front of me.

But they were saved by this fire-breathing bird.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Li Zhen pursed his lips, a sincere expression of gratitude appearing on his rugged face. He solemnly addressed Consultant Chen, "Consultant Chen, thank you for your help. Please let me know if you need any assistance in the future."

Before Chen Yuan could respond, Zhang Bai chuckled and teased Li Zhen, "Didn't you say last night that you wanted to challenge my friend? Now your chance has come."

"I'll be the referee, and you can compete against each other."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen fell silent: "Uh..."
