Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 388 The First Person to Use Trash Talk with the Advisor to the Chen Dynasty

Compared to the composed and even relaxed Wen Die, Leng Yi's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

They all knew that there was a beast tamer in the Qinling Mountains, whose pet beast was a unique wind-riding dog that had worked with the Criminal Investigation Department to sabotage many of the organization's operations and even personally captured other cadres.

Leng Yi's promotion to cadre position was even thanks to this beast tamer.

He was originally just a prospective cadre, and his abilities were quite good, but there were dozens of prospective cadres at the same level, and the competition among them was very fierce.

To be promoted to a formal cadre, one must either become the top candidate among the reserve cadres or successfully challenge for a formal cadre position.

Although Leng Yi was once the top candidate among the reserve cadres, she was unable to defeat any of the regular cadres, and thus felt melancholy for a long time.

Until one of the cadres was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department in Puda Snow Mountain, a cadre position became vacant, and as the first-ranked reserve, he naturally succeeded in being promoted.

In that sense, the beast tamer could be considered his benefactor.

Before carrying out this operation, the leader specifically instructed them to be careful of this beast tamer, to be cautious, and to prioritize secrecy.

They made thorough preparations for this, employing multiple layers of camouflage from the moment they entered the mountains, and remaining extremely cautious even after successfully infiltrating this mysterious forest.

However, to attract Qingpo, they must create a fierce battle between the pets using the Soul-Devouring Gu, and make a big commotion to make this little guy, who possesses supernatural power but loves to meddle in other people's business, show up on his own.

However, this would inevitably expose their tracks.

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Leng Yi's mind, and without uttering a word, she swiftly raised her hand to recall the critically injured and dying Ice Crystal Blade Leopard.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling summoning array suddenly lit up in front of him, and an energy fluctuation mixed with the buzzing of insects and the corrosive aura of poison spread out.

Amidst the summoning light, a giant beetle, its body as large as a millstone, covered in a glossy purplish-black carapace, and bearing three pairs of transparent yet strangely blood-red patterns, slowly emerged.

The giant beetle's compound eyes, like countless miniature rubies, gleamed with a cold, merciless light. Its sharp mouthparts opened and closed repeatedly, emitting a chilling rustling sound.

"Six-winged Soul Gu, go."

Leng Yi stared coldly at the wind-riding dog directly in front of him. The wind blew his coat, and thoughts began to surface.

Once the Six-Winged Soul Gu appeared, its three pairs of insect wings vibrated at an extremely high frequency, emitting a strange sound wave that was difficult for the human ear to detect, but could produce a strong reaction from a specific target.

next moment.

The frenzied pets that were originally fighting with a group of pets and were controlled by the Soul-Eating Gu suddenly stopped moving.

Immediately, their crimson eyes turned in unison to the cola in mid-air, and they let out even more frantic and unified roars.

These frenzied pets, as if receiving some kind of command, abandoned their original targets without hesitation and pounced on Cola from all directions like a tidal wave.

"Ow?"

Cola surveyed the frenzied beasts, showing no panic, but instead grinned.

As for me, I'm least afraid of being ganged up on.

At the same moment, the Phantom Poison Butterfly violently flapped its bewitching wings, and large swathes of phosphorescent poisonous dust, as if alive, blocked the space where Cola could possibly dodge.

Faced with this sudden, frenzied attack from all directions, Cola became even more excited, letting out a deep, battle-ready roar: "Awoooooo!"

very good!

They just kept attacking me like that!

As his eyes shone brightly, a fierce gust of wind erupted from Coca-Cola, whipping up gravel and grass clippings and raising a cloud of dust!

Just then, two figures rushed out from the woods below, forming a triangular formation with Cola.

The spark on the left unfolded magnificent wings that flowed with golden-red light, spreading a sacred and majestic aura, and the temperature around it suddenly rose.

On the right, the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy floated lightly, her hands waving gracefully, and the pale golden dust shaken off from her wings drifted like stardust, quietly dispelling the approaching poisonous fog.

At the same time, Chen Yuan rode the Fallen Horned Beast and slowly emerged from the depths of the forest.

His calm gaze swept across the entire room, lingering briefly on the six-winged soul gu he had never seen before, then looked at Wen Die and Leng Yi, and finally turned to Nie Li, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry:
"Who are these two?"

His tone was so calm, as if he were asking for directions.

Nie Li immediately replied in a low voice, "The New Star Society's cadres, Wen Die and Leng Yi, the former's pet is a Dawn-quality Illusionary Poisonous Butterfly, and the latter's pet is an Ice Crystal Blade Leopard that was just defeated by the Wind-Riding Hound, however..."

Nie Li's gaze fell on the mysterious pet beast that Leng Yi had just summoned, and she shook her head: "There is no record of this pet beast, but it seems to have some connection with the Soul Devouring Gu."

The Soul-Devouring Gu is extremely similar to this mysterious pet, except that the latter is larger, has three pairs of wings, and its physical features are much more bizarre.

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, as if he had only confirmed two unimportant identities. His gaze then passed over the heavily armed enemies and landed precisely on Qing Po, who was being protected by the Star Moon Deer and looked somewhat aggrieved and frightened.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Yuan's voice instantly became much gentler.

"Yo~~~!"

Upon seeing Chen Yuan, Qing Po's previously somewhat dim body instantly burst forth with a bright and joyful emerald green light.

It let out a long cry filled with sobs and endless grievances, then transformed into a streak of light and plunged into Chen Yuan's arms. Its little head rubbed against Chen Yuan's chest, its body still trembling slightly, like a child who had suffered a great injustice and finally found its parents.

Chen Yuan smiled, gently stroking its cool and smooth glass antlers, and softly soothed it, "Alright, alright, it's okay now, I'm here."

Cola, who was not far away, watched this scene with a hint of jealousy, and then glared fiercely at the two people opposite him.

If it weren't for you, how could other pets get so close to their owners?

You deserve to be beaten!

At that moment, Leng Yi and Wen Die suddenly had a bad feeling.

At the same moment, Qingpo, in Chen Yuan's arms, raised its big, wet eyes and cried out, pointing angrily at Lengyi and Wendie across from it with its little hooves, clearly complaining.

"Alright, alright," Chen Yuan's smile faded, his eyes turning slightly cold. "I understand. I'll teach them a lesson for you."

The moment his words fell, the three pet beasts in mid-air seemed to receive a silent command and launched an attack.

The already restless Cola's surrounding air currents gathered wildly, and a terrifying wind, solidified to the point of tearing the air apart, slammed into the frenzied beast horde surging from the ground.

Spark's wings suddenly flapped, and countless golden feathers burning with holy flames shot out like a storm, precisely targeting the Illusionary Poison Butterfly that was trying to spread poisonous dust in the air.

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy had an indifferent expression. She gently waved her petal-shaped hands, and then a purple-black energy wave suddenly burst from her palms, piercing through the air towards the Six-Winged Soul Gu.

Rumble!
In an instant, as the three pet beasts launched their attack, an even more intense melee ensued. Chen Yuan's mind was highly focused at this moment, and even commanding three pet beasts simultaneously was quite strenuous, his mental energy being rapidly depleted.

But a thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't forget to remind Nie Li, who was standing next to him: "Keep an eye on the situation over there."

“Okay.” Nie Li nodded gently.

After learning about the series of events that had occurred from the injured fawn, the group rushed to the area as quickly as possible.

Chen Yuan, in particular, didn't want to always be late to the scene when disaster struck, always the last to save the day.

Everyone jokingly called him the king of the savior who arrived late, but when it came to Qingpo, with whom he had a close relationship, Chen Yuan was unwilling to arrive last as before and was forced to rescue the injured Qingpo from the hands of the New Star Society.

So Chen Yuan sped all the way to the scene as fast as possible.

Midway through their journey, they encountered the Eighth Squad, who were engaged in a fierce battle with some members of the Rising Star Society. After learning about Qing Po's current situation from them, Chen Yuan and Nie Li immediately made a decision:
Chen Yuan and Nie Li left the other members of the Seventh Squad to help, and finally arrived before Qing Po was captured.

Chen Yuan had just carefully examined Qing Po's body. The little guy was unharmed; at most, he shed a few tears when he saw the pets protecting him getting injured.

Although this little guy doesn't like fighting, its extremely high quality as a Sunrise-class creature allows it to possess supernatural powers from birth. Even if it is temporarily outmatched, it can leave with ease.

However, the pets that protected it became its weakness, which made Qingpo hesitate for a moment.

The frenzied group of pet beasts and the hideous members of the Rising Star Society left an indelible psychological scar on Qingpo, who was pure and kind by nature.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people directly in front of him, and said in a low voice, "You two better have the ability to escape than Youmi."

Youmi, who was eating sunflower seeds and watching the commotion, suddenly froze. It stared at Chen Yuan with wide eyes and puffed out its cheeks: "Goo-choo?"

When did I, Ben Youmi, run away?
On the other side, Yuan Xiong and Wang Ze, who were already exhausted, relaxed instantly upon seeing the sudden change.

Their legs gave way and they collapsed to the ground with a thud, leaning back to each other, panting heavily. Then they couldn't help but burst into laughter, their laughter filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and boundless joy.

"Hahaha! We're saved!" Yuan Xiong patted Wang Ze's shoulder hard.

"Go easy on me, you bastard!" A tremendous force came from his shoulder, and Wang Ze couldn't help but cough. He then shoved Yuan Xiong's right hand away and complained, "If you had used any more force, I wouldn't have died here, but I would have died in your hands instead."

Yuan Xiong smiled and withdrew his hand, then looked at the suddenly appearing Consultant Chen and his group of pets from a distance, and suddenly exclaimed, "So the rumors were true."

"What rumor?" Wang Ze turned his head and looked at him, his face full of doubt.

Yuan Xiong raised his head and stared at the dazzling energy aftershocks that erupted in mid-air. He said, "It is said that Consultant Chen is a savior in desperate situations. Whenever disaster strikes, he always appears on time and turns the tide."

"So the rumors were true."

Wang Ze nodded in realization. He and Yuan Xiong watched Chen's figure from afar and sighed, "Yes, although he is late, it's better than not coming at all."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up: "That's right, I remember Consultant Chen is a forest ranger in the Qinling Mountains, no wonder he's here."

Yuan Xiong nodded quickly, then muttered in a very low voice:

"But this habit of always saving the day at crucial moments isn't good. I prefer to appear earlier and nip all the conspiracies in the bud."

Wang Ze joked, "Are you writing a novel? The process doesn't matter, as long as the ending is happy."

Hearing this, Yuan Xiong shrugged: "That's true. Anyway, we weren't injured, and the green deer wasn't captured. Although if Consultant Chen had arrived a little later, the outcome might have been different."

"By the way, what's the story behind this little green deer that it's caused such a commotion?"

Wang Ze adjusted his glasses and shook his head: "Who knows? But I know that following Consultant Chen is the right thing to do."

Rumble!
A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, interrupting their conversation. They stopped talking and looked up to watch the chaotic battle intently.

When Chen Yuan and his three little ones forcefully intervened in the chaotic battle, the situation suddenly took a dramatic turn.

A raging flame, as intense as molten gold and as violent as an angry dragon, suddenly tore through the dark night, its blazing light carrying intense heat as it burst forth into the air!

This flame was not a scattered spray, but a highly condensed burst, like a roaring fire dragon with its head held high, charging straight toward the Illusionary Poison Butterfly that was about to spread its poisonous mist with unparalleled force.

boom!
The bright firelight reflected in Wendie's eyes, and her gaze flickered as a thought raced through her mind: "Stop it."

The Beastmaster's voice echoed in her mind, and the Illusionary Poison Butterfly instantly closed its bewitching wings, wrapping itself into a cocoon that shimmered with an eerie phosphorescence, attempting to withstand the sudden and fierce attack.

Rumble!
The raging flames roared in and struck the cocoon squarely, creating a deafening roar.

The raging fire waves swept in all directions, scorching the surrounding trees and illuminating half the sky.

When the flames subsided, the Illusionary Poison Butterfly staggered backward, leaving a large charred mark on its magnificent yet deadly wings, with wisps of smoke still rising from the edges, clearly indicating that it had suffered a serious injury.

However, Wendie showed no sign of panic upon seeing this scene.

Instead, she looked up and down at the Blazing Sky Falcon that had just unleashed that earth-shattering attack with great interest, then glanced at the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy who was quietly hovering beside Chen Yuan with an indifferent and cold demeanor, and finally fixed her gaze on Chen Yuan.

"Heh," a playful smile curved her lips, her voice carrying an exaggerated admiration, "You truly live up to your reputation, Advisor Chen. I've heard you're the number one beast tamer in Qin Province, and even our leader and those arrogant guys are quite wary of you."

At this point, her tone abruptly changed, her eyes instantly turning sharp and cold, her voice filled with rebellion and disdain: "However—"

She drew out her words, her voice becoming high-pitched: "They're afraid of you, but I'm not!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ze quickly nudged Yuan Xiong on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Finally, finally someone dares to trash talk to Consultant Chen!"

Yuan Xiong frowned as he looked at Wen Die, his tone filled with deep doubt: "Where does this woman get her confidence?"

"Has she always been this brave?"

Wang Ze spread his hands and said with a smile, "Maybe she doesn't have a TV at home, so she hasn't watched the Big Wind Cup live."

He paused briefly, then gazed at the composed Consultant Chen in the distance, lowered his eyes, and slowly spoke: "This is the Great Demon King who can make all the contestants cry."

"You're right, aren't you, Yuan Xiong?"

Yuan Xiong's expression froze, and he crossed his arms and groaned, "I didn't cry. You should go discuss this with Zhuang Jianbai."

"He was beaten to tears by Consultant Chen?"

"I don't know, but it's said that he was once beaten to a pulp by Consultant Chen."

"Isn't this normal?"

"Oh, that's right."
