Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 5 Controlling the Flame
"Yes, it's you." Chen Yuan smiled and patted Sparks' little head.

These weeds grow vigorously and can often be as high as one meter. If they are cut with a sickle, the efficiency is extremely low and it will inevitably waste a lot of time.

But what if we use fire?
Spark is an extraordinary creature with fire attribute that can spit flames.

And flame is the biggest enemy of plants.

"But with the current flame power of Sparks, it is not easy to deal with these weeds." Chen Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought secretly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he remembered that he still had a source point that he had not used.

Chen Yuan's mind flashed, and he summoned the Spark's data panel. He clicked the plus sign behind the [Flame Surge] skill, and the proficiency instantly became [1.1/3].

"This way, the weak flame should be able to work."

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking, he saw Chen Weiyi staring at the sparks for a while, and suddenly said, "Is this the fire-breathing bird from this morning?"

Xuanhe Village is not big, and with the publicity of the uncles and aunts, what happened in the morning quickly spread throughout the village.

"Chirp."

Seeing the serious Chen Weiyi, Huohua shrank his neck in fear and tried to hide behind Chen Yuan's head.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, this fire-breathing bird can weed."

After saying this, Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Huo Hua and said, "Try using the Flame Surge now."

"Chirp?"

Huoshan had a puzzled expression on his face, but he still followed the orders of his beastmaster. He opened his mouth and a cluster of hot flames suddenly spewed out. The extremely high temperature made Chen Yuan feel as if he was in a furnace.

Chen Yuan was secretly surprised: "A little proficiency can increase the power so much?"

“Chuck?!!”

Sparks suddenly opened his eyes wide and flapped his wings subconsciously, somewhat unable to believe that this was the fire he had exhaled.

"I told you you could do it." Chen Yuan smiled.

But being able to spit out flames is not enough, one also has to learn to control the flames. Otherwise, if the weeds burn and the fire becomes large and spreads everywhere, it will easily get out of control.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan said to Chen Weiyi: "Grandpa, wait a moment."

After saying that, Chen Yuan took out a cardboard box from the farm warehouse and placed it in front of Yan Yunsuan.

"Now light it with fire."

After saying this, Chen Yuan saw the bandage on its wings again, pursed his lips, and changed his mind: "Forget it, wait until your injury is healed before trying again."

Unexpectedly, Spark was unhappy when he heard this. He flapped his wings hurriedly to indicate that he was fine.

Chen Yuan glanced at it suspiciously: "Really?"

“Chirp, chirp!”

Sparks nodded heavily, then flapped its wings vigorously, stirring up gusts of air, and actually dragged it upwards.

"Chirp~"

In order to further demonstrate that his body had mostly recovered, the sparks even flew around the heads of Chen Yuan and Chen Weiyi, flying around again and again, and finally fell back on Chen Yuan's shoulder.

"Hahaha." A smile appeared on Chen Weiyi's serious face, and the frown on his face relaxed with the laughter.

"Ahhh!" Cola on the ground cried out in panic, but there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, let's try it." Chen Yuan was a little surprised at the spark's recovery ability, but still nodded.

The spark landed lightly in front of the paper box, puffed up its cheeks, and a cluster of burning flames hit the paper box.

In an instant, sparks flew out of the paper box, and as the flames continued to erupt, it completely burned!
The flames grew more violent, quickly spreading to the entire cardboard box, the flames reflected in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Chen Yuan said at the right time: "Learn to retract these flames."

To control flames, one must not only be proficient in spitting out flames, but also learn to retract them to the point where one can do whatever one wants.

"Chirp?"

For a moment, Sparks looked confused, and stood there for a long while before opening its mouth and trying to retract the flame. First, a tiny flame was swallowed into Sparks' stomach like a stream of air, and a look of joy appeared on its face, as if it had found the trick.

Then, clusters of flames were swallowed up by sparks, leaving only faint sparks on the surface of the paper box, swaying in the breeze.

Sparks closed his mouth and burped uncontrollably.

"chirp"

Perhaps realizing that he had lost his composure, Huo Sparks quickly glanced at Chen Yuan, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the latter looked normal.

“It was a great performance.”

Chen Yuan nodded and praised generously.

"Tweet!"

Hearing the praise from Chen Yuan, Sparks subconsciously puffed out his chest and flapped his wings, while glancing at Coke with a smug look on his face.

"This little guy is quite capable." Chen Weiyi exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yuan nodded: "This child is called Yanyun Falcon, and he is a kind of extraordinary creature."

Afterwards, Chen Yuan told Chen Weiyi the news that Chen Wenhao had told him, and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to try meditation?"

Chen Weiyi smiled and waved his hands: "I'm already this old, why should I bother with all this?"

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

Yes, my grandfather is old and he usually doesn’t leave Xuanhe Village, so there’s no need to make a fuss.

And with him by my grandfather's side, he can face it calmly even if there is turmoil around him.

"You are all older now, more capable than an old man like me, and more adaptable to this society." The old man looked directly at Chen Yuan, his tone slow and vicissitudes, "Just handle anything you want, you don't have to tell me everything."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "There is only one sentence left, remember to think twice before you act."

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded heavily.

Afterwards, due to the hot summer weather, Chen Weiyi returned to the house to rest, while Chen Yuan continued to practice Flame Surge with Huohua.

For a beginner like Chen Yuan, taming beasts is an unfamiliar and mysterious field. He has no other people's experience to learn from, so he has to be cautious in everything he does.

The practice speed can be slow and the efficiency can be low, but there must be no accidents.

The scorching sun hanging high above his head slowly moved towards the west. The wanton sunlight forced Coke to hide under the shadow of the eaves, staring at the man and his pet who were practicing hard.

It lay on the ground with its ears drooping, its eyes full of sadness for having its owner taken away.

During the practice, Chen Yuan always paid attention to Huo Hua's physical condition and recorded Huo Hua's progress after each practice.

After practicing again and again, Chen Yuan and Huo Hua were sweating profusely, but the results were very gratifying.

Spark's ability to control flames was visibly enhanced, his proficiency increased by 0.1, and his level became 2.

"Okay, we can go clear the weeds now." Chen Yuan waved his hand.

“Chirp, chirp!”

Sparks flew to Chen Yuan's shoulder with high morale and bright eyes.

"Ow."

Coke hung his head and followed the man and his pet step by step, his dejected shadow cast by the sunlight.

A cool breeze happened to blow by, swirling around its body. Coke suddenly raised his head with a somewhat confused expression.

At this time, the old man walked out slowly, looked at the man and the bird with high morale and said: "I have to remind you that burning weeds in the yard is illegal."

"Are you ready to pay the fine?"

Chen Yuan: “?”
