Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 102 Emergency Rescue

After a busy period, it was already noon.

Through the joint efforts of Chen Yuan and the little ones, the farm was finally restored to its state before the storm.

Chen Yuan was about to take a break when he received a call from Song Guohao: "Xiao Chen, are you free now? Can you come to the rescue station?"

"Okay." Chen Yuan agreed, called Sparks and Coke, and walked towards the rescue station.

After a night of heavy rain, the roads in the village were a little muddy. The villagers were busy cleaning up their yards. A group of Paw Patrol consisting of Wind Hounds and Tinder Hounds were running around, and the barking of dogs was incessant.

"Ow~"

Coke looked at them with envy.

"What? Want to play with them?" Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Cola stayed on the farm after he was born. After he evolved, he followed Chen Yuan around and rarely had the opportunity to join the Paw Patrol to play.

"Ow!"

Coke responded instantly.

"Then if you have nothing to do later, go play with them."

"Ouch!"

When we entered the rescue station, Song Guohao was already looking forward to it, and Zhang Hao was also standing nearby.

"Xiao Chen, I'd like to ask you for help with something." Song Guohao went straight to the point.

"It's like this. Three days ago, a couple of beastmasters entered Qinling from Nanhe Town. When they signed the agreement, they said they would be back in two days."

After a pause, Song Guohao continued, "But when it was time to return, the couple was nowhere to be seen."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

According to current regulations, all animal tamers attempting to enter the wild must obtain approval from the Forestry Bureau or the Animal Tamers Association and sign relevant agreements to determine their departure and return times. Upon return, they must report to the relevant unit.

Given the uncertainty of wilderness exploration, the return time fluctuates, but as long as there is no return for more than one day, it will be classified as missing.

"The higher-ups were afraid that something had happened to the couple, so they sent forest rangers and other rescue workers from nearby areas into the mountains to search for them."

"Originally, you don't need to show up for this matter, but we only have two beastmasters in our rescue station right now, and Shao Yang is busy with other things and can't spare the time. I can only ask you to go into the mountains with Zhang Hao." Song Guohao looked at Chen Yuan and spoke slowly.

Chen Yuan grinned: "This is a simple matter. Anyway, I am also half a staff member of the rescue station."

Song Guohao felt relieved: "Then I'll leave it to you."

At the same time, he felt secretly ashamed. Since Chen Yuan became a beastmaster, he had troubled the latter for help several times, and he had to find an opportunity to repay this favor.

"Brother Song is too polite."

Then, Song Guohao took out a map, pointed to the north of Xuanhe Village and said, "This is your search and rescue route."

This route is exactly opposite to Chen Yuan’s usual forest protection route, one is in the north and the other is in the east.

"Remember, if you don't find anything before dark, you must retreat in time. The heavy rain last night probably had a significant impact on the nearby forests." Song Guohao's face was solemn.

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Song, Brother Yuan is here, it's very safe."

"See if you need anything else, and set off as soon as you are ready," said Song Guohao.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "If we retreat before dark, we don't need to bring anything else."

He turned his head to look at Coke lying beside his legs: "Just bring your pet with you."

After a while,
Song Guohao watched Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao leave the rescue station, their figures gradually moving away.

"Brother Yuan, don't you think this is ridiculous?" Zhang Hao suddenly spoke as the two walked side by side towards the north of the village.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chen Yuan was stunned.

Zhang Hao said seriously, "Now more and more beast masters are going out to explore the wild. It's impossible for us to search and rescue everyone if they go missing, right?"

"We forest rangers are just ordinary people who are familiar with the mountains, not professional search and rescue workers."

After a brief pause, he continued, "Every beastmaster who enters the wild should be required to sign a life and death agreement, and bear all consequences at their own risk."

"After all, there are so many beast masters. How can we possibly save them all?"

Chen Yuan pondered and said, "That makes sense."

After this rainstorm, more ordinary people will become beastmasters. Once the number of this group increases, it will cause many uncontrollable impacts.

The number of Beast Tamers going on adventures in the wild will surely increase rapidly.

"If you ask me, the Beast Tamer Association should launch different agreements specifically for the situation." Zhang Hao's eyes sparkled as he spoke nonstop, "For example, the lowest level agreement is a life and death agreement, and you are responsible for any accidents that occur."

"The second is the rescue agreement. Once the time to enter the mountain has passed, the association must organize personnel to conduct search and rescue."

"The first is a comprehensive bodyguard agreement. The association will send people to follow you throughout the journey and develop the safest and most efficient expedition route."

"The lowest level of agreement is free, the second level is moderate, and the first level is the most expensive."

Chen Yuan silently gave a thumbs up: "If you ask me, it's a waste of your talent to be a forest ranger."

Zhang Hao ruffled his hair and chuckled, "These are the most basic ones. I have more perfect ones."

While Zhang Hao was telling his thoughts, the two of them had already left Xuanhe Village and entered the woods in the north.

Chen Yuan reminded: "Okay, it's time to get down to business."

"Okay." Zhang Hao nodded, and then his mind moved. A gray pattern appeared in front of him. A gray-armored wild boar wrapped in white light slowly emerged and pounced towards Zhang Hao.

Zhang Haoshi was well prepared. He dodged sideways with an expressionless face, thus avoiding being knocked to the ground by the gray-armored wild boar.

Afterwards, the gray-armored wild boar walked up to Zhang Hao and rubbed its head against his body affectionately.

The huge body and the slightly thin Zhang Hao were pressed tightly together, forming a strong contrast.

"Let's go ask our pet for help first." Chen Yuan said.

Zhang Hao pushed the huge pig head away with great effort and asked curiously, "What pet?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "The group of pets that chased you last time."

Zhang Hao's face suddenly froze.

This forest is not far from the habitat of the skylarks, so Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao hurried there.

"Huff, huff!"

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

The gray-armored wild boar that was pecked at the beginning became furious when it saw the group of skylarks. It gradually calmed down after being comforted by Zhang Hao.

“Chirp, chirp!”

Seeing the sparks slowly flying towards them, the group of skylarks first made a commotion, and then, led by the skylark leader, flapped their wings and rushed forward.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but mutter, "It feels like the younger brothers are meeting the gang boss."

Chen Yuan said: "Sparks, ask them if they have seen these two people recently?"

Chen Yuan took out the photo that Song Guohao sent him, which showed a man and a woman wearing windbreakers.

“Chirp chirp~”

After looking at the photos, the Skylarks all shook their heads.

Chen Yuan nodded helplessly, and then said: "Now there is a chance to get the Luminous Fruit."

"twitter!"

The eyes of the leader of the Skylarks lit up instantly, and he stared at Chen Yuan closely. Chen Yuan cleared his throat, glanced at each Skylark, and said loudly: "Whoever can find the two people in the picture will be rewarded with a Lumen Fruit."

“Chirp!”

The flock of skylarks suddenly became agitated, with a chorus of chirping sounds. Some skylarks even flapped their wings and left the place, trying to find the two people first.

For Chen Yuan, this was a very interesting attempt.

If this group of skylarks can accurately understand and complete the tasks assigned to them, they can be entrusted with more things in the future.

For example, he would look for a pet that he had never encountered before, or a spiritual plant that was occupied by a powerful pet.
"Okay, go help search, and come to me if you find anything. I'll continue along this path."

Before he finished speaking, the leader of the skylarks, who had been eager to try, let out a loud cry and led a group of skylarks to set out on the journey to find someone.

Zhang Hao stroked his chin and whispered softly, "Can we reach a long-term cooperative relationship with this group of violent skylarks and set up a Qinling emergency search and rescue team? We get the money and they get the spiritual plants."

Chen Yuan joked, "Haozi, with your business acumen, you really shouldn't continue to be a forest ranger."

"You are the next business genius."

After a brief conversation, the two continued on their way, passing through the dense woods.

The sun shines through the leaves, sprinkling down, and the breeze blows, with light and shadows flowing in tiny pieces.

"By the way, Brother Yuan, I met the group of Snow Cloud Wolves you mentioned when I went into the mountains a few days ago." Zhang Hao suddenly spoke.

"Is there any accident?" Chen Yuan asked with concern.

"No, I just took a look from a distance and ran away quickly with the gray-armored wild boar." Zhang Hao replied slowly, "And they were chasing a group of star-moon deer at the time, so they were not interested in me."

The Snow Cloud Wolf and the Star-Moon Deer are both familiar faces.

Chen Yuan sighed, "Deer and wolves are mortal enemies. After the spiritual energy is revived, their sense of territory has become stronger. I'm afraid they will fight for a long time."

Zhang Hao shrugged and said, "It's the law of nature that they fight each other. It's fine as long as humans don't get involved."

Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.

The mountains are steep and the caves are deep.

Lin Hongwei rubbed his aching arm, took a deep breath, and then whispered to his girlfriend beside him: "Jia Jia, are you okay?"

Gong Jia shook his head slowly, and leaned against the uneven rock wall with Lin Hongwei, and whispered: "What do you think it wants to do?"

Hearing this, Lin Hongwei raised his eyes to look at the huge brown figure in front of him and shook his head: "It's hard to say for now."

This is an extremely large bear pet, covered with brown hair and some white stripes. Its two sharp claws, shining with a cold light, are grabbing two mountaineering bags.

As a first-term student of Yunhua Beast Taming Academy, Lin Hongwei recognized this bear-like pet - the Earth Bear, an earth-type pet with elite qualities born naturally.

He has a bad temper and a strong sense of territory.

The Earth Bear's claws lightly scratched the two backpacks, and the two backpacks were immediately torn open, and the clothes, food and other things inside fell out.

The Earth Bear's round eyes rolled around, it casually pushed the clothes aside, picked up the pile of food and put it to its nose to sniff, with a hint of thought in its eyes.

"roar~"

The dull roar sounded in their ears like thunder. The two men couldn't help but cover their ears, and their faces turned pale instantly.

This roar reminded both of them of what happened last night.

They were preparing to go down the mountain yesterday, but they were suddenly hit by a rainstorm, so they had to change their plans and find a cave to shelter from the rain.

As a result, as soon as he entered the cave, he ran into this incredibly powerful earth bear.

With just two punches, their proud pets fell to the ground.

"This Earth Bear must have the strength of the second level." Lin Hongwei thought secretly.

He had fought against the genius beastmaster Zhuang Jianbai in the academy. Although the latter's pet was powerful, he could definitely not kill it instantly with one strike.

A roar was heard, and a one-meter-tall Earth Bear cub ran in from outside the cave and came to the side of the bear father happily.

"Roar?"

The father bear pointed to the pile of food in front of him and looked at the cub.

The bear cub lowered its head, sniffed the scent, and then turned away.

"Our food is disliked?" Gong Jia asked in a low voice.

"It seems so." Lin Hongwei's expression was particularly wonderful.

The conditions for outdoor exploration are limited, so they only brought ready-to-eat foods that were just enough to fill their stomachs, but they were not delicious.

"Roar!"

The father bear patted the cub's head gently, then stretched out his paw and pointed at the two people who were shivering against the rock wall.

"Roar"

The bear cub shook his head again.

Being stared at by two earth bears, one big and one small, the two men's hearts instantly rose to their throats and their hearts were pounding.

However, the bear cub seemed to have no interest in the two people. He shook his head and looked outside the cave.

"Aren't they going to eat us?" Gong Jia whispered.

Lin Hongwei told a joke: "Maybe they are treating us as New Year's goods and saving them for the New Year."

Gong Jia glanced at Lin Hongwei, who smiled awkwardly.

"Do you remember what happened this morning?" Lin Hongwei asked suddenly.

Gong Jia pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

From last night to this morning, they were intimidated by the might of the Earth Bear and dared not run away, so they could only stay in the cave.

As a result, early in the morning, the Earth Bear asked the two of them to send out their pets one by one to fight against the bear cub.

With Dad Bear watching right beside them, the two of them didn't dare to give their best and both were defeated.

However, the father bear did not seem satisfied, and pushed the two of them to go on the field and fight the bear cubs themselves.

As a result, the bear cub fell to the ground lightly, and Lin Hongwei fell to the ground with his arm injured.

Fortunately, the bear cub probably found it boring and did not fight with Gong Jia.

"I feel like it's treating us as sparring partners, or," Lin Hongwei leaned close to Gong Jia's ear with a strange expression, "as toys for this little bear cub."

Gong Jia fell silent, then sighed and said, "We won't be trapped here forever, right?"

Lin Hongwei was also confused and panicked, but in order to comfort his girlfriend, he had to force a smile: "Wait a little longer, maybe things will turn around."

"Maybe this wild earth bear will let us go when he gets tired of playing. Maybe the association will send someone to rescue us."

"Trust me, Jiajia, we will definitely get out."

The two bears paid no attention to their whispering. The little bear cub got up from the ground and pointed outside the cave: "Roar~"

Father Bear waved his paw helplessly: "Roar."

"Roar!"

The little bear cub immediately became excited. It ran out of the cave quickly. When it was out of the sight of its father bear, it immediately raised its head and looked around, looking for really delicious food.

Its nose twitched and its ears trembled slightly as it began to search for the smell that made it salivate at the thought of it.

Suddenly,
The little bear cub's eyes lit up and he ran forward following the smell in the air.
