Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 322, Part 3, Chapter 21: A New Combination Technique! The Sea Shakes!
Compared to the beginning, the intensity of the storm has significantly decreased, and a sliver of light even pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating the surging sea and creating shimmering waves.

Perhaps this storm will subside soon.

Zhang Bai is right. The weather at sea is unpredictable; storms come and go quickly.

This was undoubtedly good news for Chen Yuan.

But for the ferocious sharks that roam freely on the surface of the sea, this is clearly not a good thing.

The seagull soared high in the sky, its sharp, crystalline eyes locking onto the dark shadows beneath the sea. Without making a sound, it turned and flew back to Chen Yuan's side.

"Let's go, it's time to take care of these guys once and for all."

Chen Yuan chuckled, his composure and confidence deeply affecting Yao Lu, whose tense face softened, and she softly hummed in agreement.

After a while,
A group of ferocious sharks swimming in the sea came into view. They would sometimes leap out of the water and sometimes dive into the seabed. Their huge bodies stirred up the waves and their huge tail fins splashed water.

The most eye-catching one is the Furious Shark in the very center. It is nearly 20 meters long and swims in a ferocious and wild manner.

As expected, this is the most powerful leader of the raging sea sharks, known as the Shark King.

Besides the King Shark, there are four other ferocious sharks, each over ten meters long, swimming around it like the most loyal guards of their leader.

Clearly, these are the four Tier 3 Furious Sea Sharks that Yao Lu mentioned.

Lying on Spark's soft back, Chen Yuan squinted and glanced around. More raging sea sharks came into view—these sharks were only a few meters long, but there were quite a few of them, more than thirty in total.

The sheer number is impressive, but these raging sea sharks are only at the first and second tiers. Not to mention Spark and Cola, even a single electric lightning bolt from an Electric Flying Cat could inflict heavy casualties on them.

There is a strict hierarchy among pets. A pet of a higher rank can easily defeat several pets of a lower rank, unless the latter are cheating.

Therefore, these weak Furious Sea Sharks are nothing to fear. As long as the Shark King and the Tier 3 Furious Sea Sharks are defeated, these guys will collapse on their own.

Just then, Chen Yuan and Yao Lu's appearance attracted the attention of the raging sea sharks.

A pair of ferocious eyes swept past Chen Yuan and landed directly on Yao Lu. Like ferocious beasts that had smelled blood, they opened their menacing mouths full of barbed fangs and fiercely broke through the waves, relentlessly attacking Yao Lu, who was riding the raging crocodile!
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Are you just going to ignore me like this?"

"Ouch!"

Upon hearing this, Cola flew into a rage and roared at the group of clueless, stupid sharks.

Your enemy is here!

Chen Yuan lowered his eyes, taking in the ferocious, raging sharks: "Step back, just protect yourself."

His eyes were calm, his black hair swayed, and the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind. His voice remained clear amidst the howling wind and waves, calm and without the slightest fluctuation.

“I can help.” Yao Lu let the enraged turtle step forward, the two of them, one human and one pet, staring at the shark swarm without fear, their surging fighting spirit rising on the surface of the sea.

Chen Yuan chuckled lightly: "Alright, then please make sure they don't escape."

Yao Lu was taken aback when she heard this, but then she saw that the Blazing Sky Falcon had already spread its wings and taken flight. In an instant, it looked down at the shark group from a high position. The golden flames surging from its body exuded an extremely dangerous aura, and its golden-red eyes remained as calm as ever.

A fierce wind howled, but Chen Yuan turned his head to look at the cola, and a thought came to mind: "Wind surges."

"Ow!"

Cola looked excited and responded to its owner's command in an extremely excited voice.

In an instant, a gust of wind arose, and the black ribbons surrounding the cola fluttered wildly.

"Ow—"

Accompanied by a long, deep bark, a fierce, rapidly rotating gale suddenly swept across the sea!
This gale came howling from all directions, carrying a deafening roar, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, and crashed towards the center!

During this process, the sea became even more turbulent, with the seawater being forcibly pushed aside, squeezed, and lifted by the fierce winds, creating waves that gave the impression of an approaching tsunami.

If Zhang Bai's small fishing boat were here, it would probably capsize in an instant.

At this moment, those raging sharks that had just bared their fangs and exuded a ferocious aura seemed to have crashed into a rapidly tightening, resilient giant net, their charging momentum abruptly halted by the violent reverse wind pressure!
Immediately afterwards, these raging sea sharks discovered to their horror that the gale-force winds from all sides were squeezing and closing in at an unimaginable speed. No matter how hard they swung their massive bodies and charged forward, they could not break through this invisible yet extremely tough wind cage.

The gale swept across the waves, forcibly gathering the raging sharks together in the violent circular airflow. They struggled desperately but were helpless, only able to let out futile roars of anger!
"Ow!"

Seeing that his skill was working perfectly, Cola barked excitedly and a smug smile spread across his face.

Chen Yuan, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly.

Cola's proficiency with [Wind Surge] is already very high, and with the advancement, she is even more adept at using wind energy, enough to affect all creatures in a small area.

Even a Tier 3 Raging Sea Shark could only struggle in this gale and was unable to escape for a while.

However, the storm's control lasted only a limited time, and as more and more ferocious sharks continued to struggle, they soon escaped the area of ​​influence.

We must seize the opportunity to harm them.

A thought flashed through my mind: "Sparks, a prairie fire."

In terms of sheer group damage, the Spark race, Neonfire, is undoubtedly the best.

Although fire-type skills will automatically take half damage when facing water-type pets, Spark's extremely high level and skill proficiency are enough to make up for this.

Well, even if the levels are not much different, Spark's performance in the Grand Tournament has proven that attribute advantage is basically ineffective against it.

Xia Heng's raging crocodile is a good example of this.

"Chirp!!"

The spark, which had been ready for a long time, let out a clear cry that pierced through the clouds, and its wide wings, painted in gold, suddenly spread out!

Its gaze was fixed on the group of sharks forced together by the gale, emanating a terrifying aura from within.

Long ago, Chen Yuan developed a combination skill of [Flame Storm] and [Wind Surge], but as Spark and Cola's strength improved, this combination skill was upgraded accordingly, becoming [Neon Fire] and [Wind Surge].

The wind surge is responsible for binding and controlling the target, and then the neon fire spreads to carry out the most precise fire coverage.

Chen Yuan was looking forward to seeing how the raging sharks would perform against this combination attack.

The next moment, Spark folded its wings, its fiery red feathers stood upright, and the golden halo at the edges suddenly burst into bright light, its whole body burning with conspicuous golden flames!
Its daybreak.

Reflected in the light, Yao Lu looked up in a daze, only to see a deluge of crimson-gold sparks pouring down from between her burning wings like a dam bursting in the heavens.

Countless sparks crashed down, striking the sea surface and sending up water columns, turning the entire sea surface into a dazzling red glow.

The sharks were bound by the gale and could only watch helplessly as countless sparks hurtled towards them. They roared furiously, but there was no way to escape.

Bang bang bang!
In that instant, a dense, suffocating explosion, the sound of impact, the cries of the sharks, and the hissing screams of the evaporating hot seawater resounded wildly in this small body of water!
The dozens of raging sharks gathered together couldn't even put up an effective resistance. The terrifying impact easily crushed their massive bodies, and their dark bodies were continuously scorched by the scalding sparks. Their fighting ability was quickly lost, and their charred bodies floated one after another on the burning sea surface.

The powerful, raging sea shark attempted to launch a counterattack, its menacing jaws opening wide, unleashing a series of surging water columns that instantly turned into plumes of steam upon contact with the scorching sparks, quickly dissipating into the air.

These ferocious sharks roared in terror, trying to dive to the seabed to escape danger, but Cola's gaze sharpened, and the gale sweeping across the area became even more violent, making it impossible for any of the ferocious sharks to break free!

They could only watch helplessly as the sparks struck their bodies, the scalding, surging flames filling their vision and then engulfing everything.

The wind howled, the sea surged, and flames filled the sky!

"Is this Consultant Chen's true ability?"

Seeing this scene from afar, Yao Lu was deeply shocked.

She was no stranger to this renowned Consultant Chen, who held the same position. She had even studied Chen Yuan's match videos with other consultants at a consultant exchange meeting in Qiongzhou, and ultimately all the consultants reached a common conclusion:
This Consultant Chen's strength is undoubtedly among the top tier in Donghuang. On the surface, there are no more than two beast tamers who can defeat him.

Following this meeting, a wave of learning from Advisor Chen swept through Qiongzhou.

Consultant Chen's performance in the Big Wind Cup was already impressive, but what's going on with the scene before us?

In Yao Lu's view, the extremely troublesome Tier 3 Raging Sea Shark was powerless against the Blazing Sky Falcon and the Wind-Riding Hound, howling in agony amidst the gale and flames, its aura rapidly waning.

Three minutes ago, this group of ferocious sharks was swimming freely in the sea; now, only a few of them remain standing.

Yao Lu sighed softly, "She truly deserves to be a role model for every consultant."

The fierce winds and flames gradually subsided, and even the heavy dark clouds seemed to be driven away by the light of the sparks, with large patches of light illuminating the gradually calming sea.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but squint his eyes, quietly listening to the continuous ringing of the source point notifications.

This is undoubtedly the most beautiful music in the world.

The new combo skill's initial performance was flawless, a true god-tier skill for clearing maps.

But a colossal shadow still stood proudly on the sea surface; it was none other than the leader of the most powerful Furious Sharks.

Shark King also suffered a double attack from the gale and the flames. Although his body was left with several wounds, his breath was still strong and his condition was still relatively good.

Chen Yuan lowered his eyes to look at the Shark King, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Let's take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Spark and Cola responded simultaneously.

However, the Shark King's reaction was different from the raging sharks Chen Yuan had encountered. Its giant eyes showed no ferocity, unlike the raging sharks known for their savagery and rage.

The Shark King stared intently at the sparks beneath Chen Yuan and the restless cola, then suddenly swung its massive body and made an unexpected move!

There were no roars, no charges, and none of the bloody revenge Chen Yuan had imagined.

This overlord-level ferocious beast, capable of dominating a region of the sea, frantically swung its massive tail fin in an almost disheveled manner, charging at top speed away from Chen Yuan for a distance before lowering its enormous head.

The shark king's massive back was almost submerged in the sea, with only its battered dorsal fin, resembling a battle axe, still floating slightly on the surface.

At this moment, the shark king's huge tail fin drooped as if it had lost all power, maintaining buoyancy only through the slight swaying of its body.

Those eyes, which should have been filled with anger and ferocity, had long been replaced by deep reverence.

The shark king opened its massive jaws slightly, emitting a low, short whimper that sounded like both a lament and a gesture of goodwill.

Its head moved up and down carefully and repeatedly in the direction of Chen Yuan, with each movement accompanied by its body lowering a little further.

Seeing the Shark King's reaction, Cola yawned out of boredom.

It knew this was a gesture of submission from the pet, and it seemed it couldn't continue to steal the spotlight.

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Now you know you're wrong? Where were you before?"

The shark king remained silent, continuing to emit whimpering sounds of submission.

But that wasn't all. Suddenly, the shark king turned around, facing northeast, and violently slapped the seawater beneath him, stirring up a lot of splashes and waves, its voice becoming rapid and excited.

It seems to be trying to express something.

"Ouch!"

The dog translation service was launched promptly.

It turns out that the Shark King said there was a deep sea area where many treasures were hidden, and if Chen Yuan spared his life, he would take him there to find the treasures.

Chen Yuan remained unconvinced, his gaze never leaving the crouching giant shark, but his calm, unwavering voice rang in Yao Lu's ear: "Do you want to exterminate them all?"

“No need,” Yao Lu replied. “The initial purpose of this activity was to drive them out of this sea area, and it would be even better if we could weaken their group.”

"Many of the Furious Sharks have been killed, and the strength of this group has been greatly reduced, so they can no longer pose a threat to Donghuang."

She paused, then smiled slightly: "Once they leave the Eastern Sea, everything will be none of our business."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, but his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. His eyes were sharp as knives as he looked down at the enormous creature that had made a submissive gesture: "We have killed many of its kind. Its current submissive gesture may only be a way to save its life."

"Once we let them go, they may come back soon and cause even greater harm to the surrounding waters."

Yao Lu was taken aback by his words, then nodded solemnly: "You're right, let's eliminate them all."

The raging shark is known for its vengeful nature, and Chen Yuan has no intention of letting it go.

At this moment, the Shark King seemed to feel the scrutinizing gaze that could pierce through the soul. Its head lowered even further, and its huge body trembled slightly!

The wariness in Chen Yuan's eyes did not dissipate, but he caught a glimpse of Cola yawning out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up slightly.

After awakening his spiritual attributes, Cola, under Chen Yuan's supervision, mastered a very interesting new skill - Mind Domain Wind Network.

This skill can silently detect the emotional fluctuations of a target creature, which is perfect for this situation.

His expression remained unchanged, but a thought secretly arose within him: "Cola, use the Mind Domain Wind Net."

Cola's azure eyes suddenly lit up with a gentle yet profound spiritual radiance. Countless invisible yet real spiritual threads, like dandelion seeds drifting in the wind, gently yet all-pervasively floated down, instantly enveloping all the raging sharks in the sea!

Cola abandoned his playful demeanor, his expression turning serious as he intently focused on sensing the emotions of each raging shark.

Some were angry, some were numb, some were sad, and some harbored intense hostility.
But the Shark King's emotional fluctuations were very strange. There was no anger or hostility, only a very strange emotion.

Cola didn't understand what this emotion meant. It blinked and suddenly remembered that it seemed to have felt the same emotion in the Snow Cloud Wolf leader who once dominated the Qinling Mountains.

A spirit of ambition to become the king of the Qinling Mountains.

Could it be that this big, clumsy shark also wants to become the true king?

Cola couldn't understand these complex emotions, so it told its owner all the emotions it felt and let the owner make its own judgment.

"That's it"

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully. He looked deeply at the Shark King, whose head was always lowered, and slowly said, "I can let you go, but some members of your clan have crossed an unforgivable line."

As soon as he finished speaking, several sharp wind blades roared out from Cola's body, instantly killing the few raging sharks that were filled with intense hostility, and their blood immediately stained the sea red.

The shark swarm immediately stirred, but the king shark remained motionless.

Chen Yuan continued to have Cola detect their emotional fluctuations. The rest of the Furious Sharks were filled with fear and terror, while the Shark King's emotions remained unchanged, showing no hostility.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I can let you go, but you have to stay with me for now. Once I've finished something, I'll go with you to find the treasures in the sea."

He wanted to use this experiment to verify the authenticity of the [Heart Domain Wind Network] and see if there would be any detection errors.

If the information provided by [Heart Domain Wind Network] regarding such a powerful pet as the Shark King is accurate, it will play a significant role in many future situations.

After a while,
Li Zhen anxiously gazed at the horizon where the sea and sky met, where the storm seemed to have subsided slightly, but the churning waves were still terrifying.

"Consultant Chen has been gone for so long. I hope nothing has happened to them?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself again.

Zhang Bai, Xiao Nan, and Uncle Tian were playing cards in the cabin when they heard this. Zhang Bai casually replied, "Don't worry, even if we all sink into the sea, Consultant Chen will be fine."

After saying this, Zhang Bai raised his eyebrows, suddenly pushed out his cards, and shouted, "A royal flush! I won!"

Just as Zhang Bai was laughing triumphantly, a commotion suddenly broke out outside: "Those guys are here again!"

The group exchanged glances, quickly dropped their cards, and hurriedly left the cabin, standing on the deck gazing at the distant sea.

The sea surged and churned at the horizon, with waves crashing against the shore.

One after another, ferocious gray sharks tore through the waves and charged toward the sandy shore, their huge dorsal fins slicing through the water like the scythe of death!

"It's a raging shark!" Zhang Bai's expression changed drastically, and his voice involuntarily rose several octaves.

As Li Zhen summoned the Wave Fist Water Ape, he solemnly said, "Since the Raging Sea Shark has appeared, it means that Consultant Chen and the others are indeed in danger."

After a long pause, he strode to the front, his tall figure with his back to the crowd, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Let everyone prepare for battle. We have to find a way to save ourselves."
