Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 406 Soul-Splitting Poisonous Scorpion! Tail Sting!
"Thank you."

The cheers that filled the air had not yet subsided when Jiang Chenchong nodded to Chenmu Huaxian, who had healed Lei Gang Feihu, in gratitude.

"Singing~"

Morning and Evening Flower Fairy smiled sweetly and waved.

Jiang Chen stopped talking, and with a thought, he returned the dejected Thunder Tiger to his pet space. He then raised his eyes and gazed deeply at the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy, who was as beautiful as a fairy and as kind as a little angel.

After a moment, he pursed his lips and said in a voice only he could hear, "Just as I thought."

He looked away, took a deep breath, glanced at the camera pointed at him one last time, and nodded slightly.

What follows may be his final battle in this year's Donghuang Tournament.

Defeat may have been inevitable, but he came for Qiongzhou, and even more so for himself.

We will definitely go all out.

"Come on, Advisor Chen, let's have that battle that we never had on Manlan Island."

He looked up at Chen Yuan opposite him, a smile appearing on his cold face, his gaze intense.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Glancing at the huge venue with its vibrant atmosphere, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and a dazzling summoning array quickly appeared on the ground in front of him.

With a deep, muffled thud, like metal scraping against the ground, a massive shadow crashed down onto the battlefield.

As the white light faded, a hideous and terrifying figure was fully revealed to tens of thousands of spectators.

This enormous creature is about four meters tall, and its thick, dark purple carapace gleams with a cold, metallic sheen.

A pair of enormous alloy claws, their edges gleaming with a cold light, opened and closed slightly, emitting a teeth-grinding "click" sound.

But what is most terrifying is the scorpion's tail, which is raised high and has a poisonous stinger at the end that gathers an ominous dark purple light.

Its massive size contrasts sharply with the petite and exquisite beauty of the other side of the venue, creating a striking visual impact reminiscent of a finely crafted work of art. This has elicited gasps and exclamations of surprise from the stands.

In the live stream, Lü Hao's voice suddenly rang out: "It's here, the Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion!"

"This pet, evolved from the Steel-spine Poison Scorpion, is a Poison/Steel type, of Morning Star quality, and helped Jiang Chen defeat several strong opponents in the points competition."

"Compared to the previous Thunder Tiger, this Soul-Splitting Poison Scorpion is much stronger and is definitely a tough nut to crack."

At this point, he changed the subject and said with a grin, "But they're nothing but chickens and dogs in front of Consultant Chen. Now, just enjoy the performance of the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy."

Looking at the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion appearing on the screen, Lan Yingdan inexplicably recalled her last day on Manlan Island.

When Chen Yuan and the others left by boat, only she and Jiang Chen remained on the island.

Jiang Chen's goal at the time was very clear: to hone the Steel-Spine Scorpion through the Eternal Night Poppy, and then collect resources to advance.

Before the opening of the Donghuang Conference, Jiang Chen achieved his goal.

"And what about us?"

Lan Yingdan suddenly looked down at the pink-tailed velvet snake coiled around her arm and asked, "When will we become the most powerful poison-type beast tamers?"

The pink-tailed velvet snake glanced sideways at Blue-Robed Dandelion, then tapped the screen with its tail: "Hiss~"

Your top priority right now is to qualify for the Donghuang Conference!
Lan Yingdan was immediately annoyed. She flicked her finger at the head of the pink-tailed velvet snake and said irritably, "What kind of pet talks about its own beast tamer like that?"

She paused briefly, rested her chin on her hand, and said with a glint in her eyes, "Next time, I will definitely try my best to participate next time."

"When the time comes, I'll let everyone know who the most powerful poison-type beast tamer is!"

On the field, a fierce battle has already begun.

"Steel Arm!"

Jiang Chen, with his sharp eyes, gave the order without hesitation.

"Roar"

The Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion let out a low hiss, and its dark purple carapace instantly shimmered with an even more solid metallic luster, as if it were covered with an invisible steel armor, greatly increasing its defensive power.

The commentator's voice rang out at the right moment: "Compared to the fast-paced tactics in the last match, player Jiang Chen has clearly changed his style of play in this match, deciding to play steadily and cautiously."

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke almost at the same time the other party strengthened their defense: "Sweet and fragrant."

"Yin~"

As the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy gracefully twirled, a pale pink mist carrying an alluring, sweet scent enveloped the Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion like a veil, attempting to erode its will and lure it into a deep sleep.

"Steel blade".

Jiang Chen's gaze was calm, his reaction was extremely quick, and a thought immediately arose.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing the sound, the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion moved, its huge right pincer swinging out horizontally like a door panel, the sharp metal edge of the pincer cutting through the air and bringing with it a fierce gust of wind.

The gale was like a tangible blade, instantly cutting, stirring, and dispersing the spreading pink mist completely.

Inside the farm, the little ones screamed with delight.

"quack!"

Runrun Duck widened its eyes, stretched out its wings, and pointed at the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion on the screen.

Isn't this Iron-Headed Kid's signature move?

The little ones on the side nodded in agreement and then began to discuss one thing: who is stronger, Ironhead or Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion's steel blade?
For a time, the little ones argued endlessly.

Electric Flying Cat's eyes flashed as it rationally analyzed, "Electric."

This guy's steel blade is incredibly powerful and can even shatter the sweet fragrance of the Morning and Evening Fairy, making him clearly superior.

"quack!"

Upon hearing this, Runrun put her hands on her hips and pointed at Dian Dian Fei Mao's nose, glaring angrily.

Ironhead can shatter this big guy with a single blow!
"Electricity!"

"quack!"

The two little guys wouldn't give in to each other, so the Fallen Horned Beast quickly came to persuade them, and the Wood Spirit Mouse family also subtly suggested that watching the live stream was more important.

The creature stood firmly at the farm gate. Suddenly, a gust of wind and snow swept in, and it slightly raised its eyes, a cold glint appearing before it.

In an instant, the wind and snow dissipated.

On the screen,

The moment the mist dissipated, the massive body of the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion unleashed an astonishing speed disproportionate to its size. With its four legs stomping, the ground trembled slightly as it charged toward the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy like a heavy chariot.

"Scorpion King Claw Kill!"

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened, and he immediately changed the strategy, having the Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion use its racial skill.

"Appeared!"

"This is the racial skill of the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion, Scorpion King Claw Strike. Once it hits, it can cause extremely terrifying damage!"

As the battle intensified, the commentator's voice grew increasingly loud.

On the field, the Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion's two terrifying alloy giant claws, carrying immense power, roared up from the left and right, unleashing a sharp, cold light that fiercely attacked Flower Fairy.

"lush and verdant".

Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he issued another order.

As the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy emerged from her body, a green light surged forth, and her thick vines rapidly intertwined to form a barrier once more.

Click!

boom!
This time, the giant tortoise, brimming with violent power, slammed heavily onto the vine barrier, followed by a cracking sound as it shattered under the immense pressure.

The barrier held for only a moment before being completely shattered by the terrifying power contained within the giant tortoise, sending splinters flying everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

While there are many ways to use Lushness, whether it's weaving vine barriers or transforming into vines to entangle opponents, these are all extended applications and cannot maximize its effect.

For example, the effect of vines entangling enemies is clearly not as good as another skill - Corruption Roots.

The Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion is Jiang Chen's strongest pet, and it has advanced from the Steel-Spine Poison Scorpion to Morning Star, making it significantly stronger than the Thunderous Flying Tiger from the previous match.

The Abundant skill alone was not enough to stop the Soul-Splitting Poison Scorpion's fierce onslaught. Even as thoughts raced through his mind, the pincer attack continued relentlessly, its chilling light emanating from it.

At the critical moment, the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy flapped her wings rapidly, her figure transforming into a streak of light as she narrowly escaped the fatal trap.

But Jiang Chen's killing move was far from over. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he was waiting for this opportunity.

"Tail needle!" he shouted sternly.

This time, Jiang Chen didn't use his mind to command it; instead, he shouted it out loud, as if only in this way could he fully demonstrate the power of this skill.

The scorpion's tail, which had been poised to strike, suddenly lunged out like a venomous snake at a speed beyond what the eye could perceive.

The poisoned needle pierced the air with a sharp screech, striking precisely the ascending Morning and Evening Flower Fairy.

laugh!
A soft piercing sound rang out, and the Fairy of Morning and Evening Flower's delicate body trembled violently, letting out a painful groan. Her figure swayed in the air, almost falling.

A dark purple toxin quickly spread from the stabbed area, instantly weakening its aura and even causing a dark halo to appear on its once bright and delicate face.

"Wow——!"

The whole place was shocked.

No one expected that Jiang Chen's Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion would be so powerful, severely injuring the previously dominant Morning and Evening Flower Fairy with a single strike.

At this moment, the live stream chat is filled with a dense barrage of comments.

"This is so rare. After watching for so long, we finally get to see Consultant Chen get his comeuppance."

"Well done, Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion. It's time for Consultant Chen to experience the taste of defeat."

"Jiang Chen might actually have a chance of winning."

Looking at the screen full of comments, Yuan Xiong, who was watching the battle, shook his head.

As the first victim of the battle against the Twin Flower Concubines, no one understood their horror better than him.

Injury will only cause the Dawn and Dusk Fairy to enter the second stage ahead of time.

At this stage, there is no solution unless one possesses extremely strong explosive power.

But Jiang Chen couldn't care less about anything else at that moment. He quietly clenched his fist, a hint of barely suppressed excitement flashing in his eyes. The dawn of victory seemed to be just around the corner.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered as he gazed at the swaying Flower Fairy of Dawn and Dusk.

Tail Sting, a skill exclusive to scorpion-type pets, is released at an extremely fast speed, and countless pets have been ambushed by this insidious move.

A thought flashed through his mind, but Chen Yuan's expression remained calm.

"Aromatherapy Healing Petal." His instruction was concise and effective.

The injured Morning and Evening Flower Fairy, enduring excruciating pain, reached out and gently tore off a small piece from the most beautiful petal on her body.

"Yin~"

In an instant, an intensely rich, vibrant green life force surged forth from the broken petal, enveloping its entire body like a warm spring.

The spreading dark purple toxin was purified and dissipated at a visible speed, the wounds healed rapidly, and the listless aura was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye, even appearing more radiant.

Jiang Chen's excitement froze instantly, turning into utter astonishment.

He quickly recalled the records about the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy's extremely strong regenerative abilities, and his heart sank.

Although he had long known that the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy possessed the means to restore her condition, he never expected it to be so quick and effective.

The live stream chat changed instantly:
"This recovery speed is practically cheating!"

"Hey, isn't the anti-cheating detection for the Donghuang Tournament online yet?"

"Don't be afraid. This kind of miraculous method can only be used once at most. I don't believe it will be this effective every time."

Looking at the screen full of comments, Yuan Xiong crossed his arms and gave a cold smile.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was unaware of the discussions outside. He stared intently at the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy opposite him, his thoughts wandering.

"That's not enough. We must poison it with a deeper and stronger toxin to limit its recovery effect."

The thought arose, and Jiang Chen instantly changed tactics.

He commanded the Soul-Splitting Poison Scorpion to continue its fierce attack, its two pincers waving and its venomous tail poised to strike.

Among the moves mastered by the Soul Splitter King Scorpion, there is one called [Venom Gland Spray]. Although it has no damage effect, it restricts recovery and buff effects through its potent poison.

If this move can be successfully used, the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy will be restricted.

However, having learned from their previous experience, Chen Yuan and Chenmu Flower Fairy became extremely cautious.

Under Chen Yuan's command, the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy used her agile movements and ranged skills to maneuver around the enemy, tightly holding the healing petals of pure life energy in her hands.

"Crimson Bomb!"

Seeing the Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion approaching again with its massive body, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he gave an order.

As the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy raised her hands, countless delicate red petals fell like raindrops, drifting towards the Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion.

These petals, though beautiful, explode with a bang the moment they touch their target.

boom! boom! boom!
The continuous explosions continued, each petal acting like a small high-explosive bomb, creating violent shockwaves on the massive body of the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion and the surrounding ground.

The crimson bombs covered most of the area, making it difficult to dodge. The Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion had no choice but to use its body to withstand most of the explosions.

Fortunately, thanks to the defensive bonus of the steel arm, although many charred marks were left on the carapace, it was not seriously damaged.

"No, we can't continue like this."

Looking ahead, after a fierce battle, the Soul-Splitting Poison Emperor Scorpion was already panting heavily. Although it was not seriously injured, its condition was rapidly deteriorating due to the high intensity of the battle.

In contrast, the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy had long since recovered from her previous injuries. Her little face was rosy and glowing, and she always maintained a sweet smile, as if her condition had not been affected at all.

If things continue like this, defeat is only a matter of time.

"Scorpion King Claw Kill".

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened, and he immediately issued the order for a full-scale attack.

"Roar!!"

The Soul-Splitting Poisonous Scorpion roared wildly, its body carrying a fierce wind as it raced across the land, rapidly approaching the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy at a speed beyond the sight of the naked eye, and then its huge pincers slashed down!

A cold glint appeared, and danger lurked everywhere!
At the same instant the giant tortoise swung out, the venom glands at the tail of the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion quietly swelled, preparing to spray out a deadly venomous mist at the closest distance.

"Now! Poison glands!" Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and was about to give the order.

But Chen Yuan's insight was even faster; he seemed to have already seen through the other party's intentions: "Highly poisonous explosive bomb."

In the instant she dodged the giant tortoise, the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy had already condensed a deep purple-black energy ball in her hands and thrust it out first.

The ball of light did not attack the scorpion's body, but rather aimed precisely at the base of the tail of the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion, which was preparing to spray its venom glands.

boom!
The highly toxic bomb detonated prematurely.

The chaotic and intense poison energy not only disrupted the Soul-Shattering Poison Scorpion's skills, but the impact and energy interference it generated also caused its massive body to stagger, being forced back several steps. Fine cracks even appeared at the joints of its carapace, indicating that it had suffered considerable damage.

"Eclipse beam!"

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy seized the perfect opportunity, hovered in the air, raised her hands high, and her originally gentle aura instantly became solemn and majestic.

The sky suddenly brightened, and an extremely dazzling ray of light converged and burst forth from between the morning and evening cacti.

boom! ! !
The next moment, the eclipse beam struck the Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion with pinpoint accuracy, its defenses weakened and vulnerable.

"Roar--!"

The Soul-Splitting Poison King Scorpion let out a shrill and painful roar. Its hard carapace hissed and corroded under the impact of the beam of light. Its massive body trembled violently and finally crashed to the ground.

The entire stadium fell silent again, then erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.

The commentator suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly, "The Dawn and Dusk Fairy seized the fleeting opportunity and ended the battle with a single Eclipse Beam!"

"Therefore, the final winner of this match is Chen Yuan!"

"As a favorite to win this year's Donghuang Tournament, he has shown an extremely terrifying dominance all the way. Even when facing the genius beast tamer Jiang Chen, he easily defeated two opponents at once."

“We have no way of knowing where his limits are, but we do know that his steps will not stop here.”

He will challenge for the championship of the first Donghuang Tournament!
