Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 326 This fire-breathing bird is clearly the weakest.

"its me."

Lan Yingdan, who was walking in front of Chen Yuan, suddenly turned around, a lively smile appearing on her face, and her voice was melodious: "Of course I know."

She paused briefly, then looked down at the indifferent-looking Bloodthorn Rose, the corners of her lips gradually curving upwards: "It can help us find the Eternal Night Poppy."

"Oh?" Chen Yuan became interested and let out a soft exclamation.

Bloodthorn Rose remained indifferent, while Thornthorn's arms hung naturally at his sides, and his pace did not slow down at all because of their conversation.

“Think about it, this is Poison Island, and it’s home to many, many poison-type pets.” Lan Yingdan withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Chen Yuan, her smile lively. “Eternal Night Poppy is definitely one of the dominant pets on the island, and other pets will know its whereabouts to some extent.”

So-called overlord-level pets are pets that rule an area in the wild. They are powerful, occupy large areas of habitat, and make other pets fear them.

Just like the Frost Peak on Mount Puda, it is undoubtedly a dominant pet beast.

These kinds of pets are definitely among the strongest in the area, and other pets either choose to join them or stay away from this area.

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "So, we can find the Eternal Night Poppy by asking other wild pets?"

Just like that swarm of highly venomous winged bees before, they might not recognize the Eternal Silent Sandflower, but they certainly know the Eternal Night Poppy.

Lan Yingdan smiled broadly and praised without reservation: "Smart."

But after saying this, Lan Yingdan frowned slightly, her complexion dimmed, and she muttered in a very low voice:

"But these pets have terrible personalities. They either attack as soon as they see you or sneak up on you from the shadows. They are more resentful than the working class."

Chen Yuan burst out laughing.

It is well known that one's upbringing greatly influences one's personality.

If you were born into a farm where you had plenty to eat and drink and a warm and harmonious atmosphere, you might not necessarily have a lively personality, but you certainly wouldn't be full of bitterness and resentment all the time.

Can.
Chen Yuan silently looked around and sighed inwardly: "If one always lives in a dark and damp environment, one's personality will be affected to some extent."

Therefore, poison-type pets are generally negative in mood and extremely aggressive.

Their survival philosophy is "if you're not convinced, fight it."

Unfortunately, these guys' attack methods are generally disgusting and difficult to deal with, and they often resort to dirty tricks, tormenting countless beast tamers.

As a poison-specialized beast tamer, Lan Yingdan should understand this principle.

Chen Yuan glanced at Lan Yingdan, who was deep in thought, and recalled the scene of her being ambushed due to her carelessness, as well as her always smiling appearance. He thought to himself, "This poison-type beast tamer seems to be a half-baked one."

According to Chen Yuan's stereotype, a fire-type specialized beast tamer should be passionate and always have a strong fighting spirit, and a battle should break out at the slightest glance.
Those specializing in water should be as gentle as water, mild-mannered, kind, and understanding.
As for poison-specialized beast tamers, they should be cunning, shrewd, and manipulative, playing their opponents like puppets and crushing their mentality.

Based on our brief encounter, Lan Yingdan seems to be a lively and cheerful girl.

Such a personality is not a good thing for a poison-type beast tamer.

"Let's go find an easy-going pet."

The sudden voice pulled Chen Yuan back to his senses, and he nodded: "Okay."

There's been no progress with the venomous winged bees yet; now we can only hope to find the Eternal Night Poppy as soon as possible, and then find the Eternal Silent Sandflower.

As the two ventured deeper into the heart of the rainforest, towering ancient trees with intertwined roots, hanging deep purple vines, and giant poisonous mushrooms with vibrant colors and bizarre shapes created a strange and oppressive environment.

The air was still filled with a rich, sweet floral fragrance and the smell of decaying plants. The poisonous miasma was faintly visible, but fortunately, both of them had special methods to deal with it and were not affected at all.

Along the way, the two encountered several seemingly "friendly" poisonous pets, but as soon as Bloodthorn Rose rushed out to engage in friendly conversation, the pets either darted into piles of dead leaves and disappeared instantly, or glanced at them from afar and then panicked and ran away.

Lan Yingdan put one hand on her hip, her delicate face full of confusion: "That's strange, why are they running away?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan silently looked at Bloodthorn Rose, whose face was indifferent and whose body exuded a strong sense of aggression and fierce danger, and his lips twitched slightly.

The answer to why these pets ran away is actually quite obvious.

"Let me do it."

Chen Yuan slowly stepped forward with the twin flower concubines, a confident and composed smile on his face: "It has some experience in communicating with wild pets."

"Yinyin".

The twin concubines smiled radiantly, exuding a pure and gentle aura, and sat quietly on Chen Yuan's right shoulder.

Then, Chen Yuan carefully placed the twin flower concubines on the ground. The little one lifted her petal-covered dress and walked gracefully through the pile of fallen leaves, like a little princess who had wandered into the rainforest.

Both Blue Rose and Bloodthorn Rose cast curious glances at the little guy, while the velvety pink snake coiled around his arm stared unblinkingly at Chen Yuan.

After walking only a few dozen meters, the little guy stopped in front of a clump of dense grass, his pink eyes sparkling: "Yinyin."

"Cola, please help me," Chen Yuan said softly.

"Ow~"

Cola nodded slightly, opened its mouth, and immediately stirred up a breeze, swirling up withered leaves and lifting up the grass.

"Hey, your pet is a wind-type! What's its name?" Lan Yingdan asked in surprise when she saw Cola use a wind-type skill.

Chen Yuan asked, "Wind-Riding Dog, don't you usually pay attention to online information?"

"Ow!"

Cola glared at Blue Tassel; it was the first time it had ever encountered such an ignorant human who didn't recognize it.

Bloodthorn Rose stepped forward slightly, shielding Blue Tassel behind her, and cast a defiant glance at Cola.

Lan Yingdan blinked her bright eyes, a smile overflowing from them: "No, surfing the internet is too much of a waste of time."

"I'd rather spend more time with these little guys." She looked at the Bloodthorn Rose and the Velvet-tailed Pink Snake, a smile creeping from her eyes to her face.

Chen Yuan nodded in realization.

He also has friends like this, who never pay attention to online information and don't even have entertainment apps on their phones, like people from an ancient era.

However, such people often have interesting stories to tell about their online activities, and this enjoyment is enough to keep them away from the chaotic online world.

At the same moment,

As the wind rustled through the grass, a small, injured, flower-shaped pet huddled behind a tree root, shivering beside the damp ground covered with a thick layer of dead leaves.

The little guy's main body resembles a light blue daffodil, but the edges of its petals are inlaid with tiny purple crystal clusters, and there are several wounds on its stem torn by sharp teeth, from which murky sap is oozing.

At this moment, it looked at the approaching crowd in fear, its small body trembling even more violently.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Lan Yingdan immediately comforted her in a sweet voice, her voice as soft as a feather. "You're injured, I'll heal you."

The moment Lan Yingdan saw the pet, her first reaction was to squat down in front of the little guy and take out a healing spray from her backpack to treat its wounds. Chen Yuan stood aside, instructing Spark and Cola to be alert to their surroundings while carefully observing the injured Crystal Cluster Narcissus.

Crystal Cluster Narcissus, of the water element, is of elite quality when naturally born and possesses certain healing abilities.

Not all the pets inhabiting Manlan Island are poison-type; occasionally, one or two pets of other types will appear.

According to rough statistics from previous beast tamers, pets with other attributes account for about one-tenth of the total number.

This injured narcissus cluster is one of them.

As Blue-Eyed Dandelion healed the Crystal Cluster Narcissus's injuries, Bloodthorn Rose lowered its head slightly, seemingly showing a trace of sympathy for this weak and helpless fellow.

Pets of the same kind naturally have a certain degree of affinity.

The Twin Flower Concubine did the same, slowly walking to the Crystal Cluster Narcissus, which was only slightly taller than itself, tearing off a petal and handing it to the latter: "Yingying~"

The twin flower concubine's gentle smile made the crystal cluster narcissus freeze in place. The light blue petals seemed to show a strange red tinge as it slowly accepted the petals.

With the combined effects of the healing spray and the healing petals, a faint green glow emanates from the wounds of the Crystal Cluster Narcissus, and the injuries heal rapidly.

The narcissus cluster finally calmed down, gently trembling its light blue petals and making a soft rustling sound to express its gratitude.

"Alright, now get some rest." Lan Yingdan clapped her hands, then her eyes lit up, and she asked, "By the way, little one, you know..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark green venomous snake, as swift as an arrow, suddenly shot out from the hollow of the rotten wood beside him. Its scarlet tongue flickered, its hooked fangs gleamed coldly, and its gaze was fixed on Crystal Cluster Narcissus, who had just recovered from her injuries!
Lan Yingdan's pupils contracted sharply. She immediately picked up the Crystal Cluster Narcissus and rolled forward. Bloodthorn Rose, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly. Her thorny arm suddenly stretched forward, trying to stop the venomous snake that had launched the sneak attack.

Just then, as if he had anticipated this, Cola took half a step forward, casually raised his claws, and waved them as if swatting a mosquito.

Snapped!
This venomous snake, lurking in the shadows and as cunning as an assassin, was effortlessly pinned to the ground by Coca-Cola. Its slender body writhed wildly, but it couldn't break free from the claws' hold.

"Ow."

Cola lowered his head and looked at the struggling venomous snake, a playful glint in his eyes.

It had already spotted the venomous snake hiding in the shadows, and thought it would continue to hide, but it never expected that it would launch a sneak attack right in front of it.

The little snake deserves to be hit!

“Green Mist Viper.” Chen Yuan glanced at the venomous snake that was being held down by Cola, then looked away.

Green Mist Viper, a poisonous species, is of elite quality when naturally born.

This pet is as slender as bamboo, its green body blending perfectly into the dense jungle, and it is extremely adept at launching sneak attacks from among the trees and bushes.

But even the best disguise can't hide from Coca-Cola.

The sudden turn of events startled Lan Yingdan. When she came to her senses, she looked at Kele with a slightly excited gaze: "Your wind-riding dog is amazing!"

Before her Bloodthorn Rose could retaliate, Cola, with her nonchalant demeanor, had already pinned the Green Mist Viper to the ground, rendering it immobile.

Its formidable strength is evident.

"Indeed, this Wind-Riding Dog is his strongest pet." Lan Yingdan was even more certain of her judgment.

Chen Yuan's strongest pet is undoubtedly the Wind-Riding Hound, while the Twin Flower Concubines are somewhat weaker. The small golden-red bird that stands blankly on his shoulder, seemingly terrified by the Green Mist Viper, is clearly the weakest, perhaps having only recently been contracted by Chen Yuan.

Before she could dwell on her feelings, Lan Yingdan turned to look at the pale-faced Crystal Cluster Narcissus and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

When Crystal Cluster Narcissus came to its senses, it first looked at Green Mist Viper, who was being held firmly to the ground, with obvious surprise in its eyes. Then it met Blue Tassel's concerned gaze and shook its head to indicate that it was alright.

"Was it this green mist viper that injured you?" Chen Yuan's questioning voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, the Crystal Cluster Narcissus stared blankly at the still struggling Green Mist Viper, its eyes vacant and its expression complex. After hesitating for a moment, it nodded.

"Why do all these poison-type pets like to ambush?" Lan Yingdan glared at Green Mist Viper.

Chen Yuan remained silent.

The essence of poison-type pets lies in sneak attacks and underhanded tactics; direct confrontation is not the style of poison-type pets.
This beast tamer's training method has clearly gone wrong.

"Do you need my help to deal with this guy?" Chen Yuan pointed at the Green Mist Viper and asked.

Thanks to the mental training he received from the Pink Velvet Snake, Chen Yuan, having overcome his inner hurdle, is now able to observe snake-like pets up close without any fear.

The narcissus cluster gently sways its petal-shaped head.

"Oh? You actually chose to let it go?" Chen Yuan was a little surprised, but he quickly remembered that Crystal Cluster Narcissus was kind by nature and was an anomaly on this island full of ferocious poisonous creatures. It was not easy for it to have survived until now.

"Cola, let it go." Chen Yuan respected Crystal Cluster Narcissus's choice and told Cola to let go.

"Ow~"

Cola nodded obediently, glaring fiercely at the green mist viper while slowly releasing its claws.

"Sigh~"

The green mist viper cautiously raised its eyes to look at Cola, its tongue flicking out.

Snapped!
Cola patted the Green Mist Viper's head with its paw, nearly knocking it down with a single blow.

If you're going to leave, then leave quickly! How dare you spit your tongue out at me!

The Green Mist Viper felt a sharp pain and quickly looked away, but secretly glanced at the Crystal Cluster Narcissus held in Blue Jade's arms. The two pets exchanged a furtive look.

The next moment, the green mist viper darted out and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Seeing the green mist viper disappear, Lan Yingdan lowered her eyes to gaze at the delicate and lovely crystal cluster narcissus, and softly asked, "Do you know about the Eternal Night Poppy?"

Then, Lan Yingdan described the general appearance of the Eternal Night Poppy in detail: "She's about my height, and somewhat similar to you, but her color is a little different from yours."

Do you know where it is?

Lan Yingdan looked expectantly at the crystal cluster narcissus, which hesitated for a moment before its light blue petals slowly opened and closed.

"Ow!"

Seeing the reaction of the crystal cluster narcissus, Cola excitedly bit Chen Yuan's sleeve.

It knows!
The owner knows!
Chen Yuan patted Cola's head and smiled slightly: "I know, let it lead the way now."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Lan Yingdan looked at the crystal cluster narcissus, clasped her hands together, and smiled brightly.

Crystal Cluster Narcissus struggled to jump out of Blue Tassel's arms. It glanced furtively at Cola, who had subdued Green Mist Viper with a single claw. The latter seemed to sense this and immediately grinned at it, startling Crystal Cluster Narcissus so much that it nearly fell over.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." Lan Yingdan smiled slightly, squatted down, and gently pushed the back of the crystal cluster narcissus with her hand.

Crystal Cluster Narcissus then calmed herself down and led the two through layers of broad leaves, continuing deeper into the rainforest.
