Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 128 The Sleeping Giant Monster
While a fierce battle was going on here, an open area not far away was very quiet.

"Brother, do you think this little guy would have starved to death if he hadn't met me?" Liu Jingyi squatted on the ground, staring closely at the petite figure who was swallowing the pet's food, and asked abruptly.

Liu Jinglan was lying on the ground looking at the stars. When he heard his sister's question, he replied casually, "Of course it's possible, so it's a blessing for it to meet us."

During the holidays, he took his sister, who had just become a beastmaster, into the Flame Mountain, trying to find a suitable new pet.

But Liu Jingyi was very picky about pets. She either thought they were too ugly or had bad tempers, and was not satisfied with any of the wild pets she met along the way.

Fortunately, before that, they happened to meet a hungry Fierce Flame Eagle. The man and the pet actually fell in love with each other, and the Fierce Flame Eagle insisted on following Liu Jingyi.

The Fiery Eagle is a fire-attributed pet with a relatively mild temperament. It often roams high above the Gobi Desert and is difficult to capture.

The most important thing is that the appearance of the Fiery Eagle is much better than that of pets like the Explosive Lizard Monster.

The Fiery Eagle has a sharp golden beak. If you look closely, you can see that its eyes are flashing with golden flames. There are burning patterns on its wings and abdomen. Its feathers are very hard and will emit a brilliant metallic luster when exposed to sunlight.

Liu Jingyi was very satisfied with the Fiery Eagle and had secretly made up his mind to contract it to be his initial pet.

"Brother, after I contract this little guy, can we go home?" Liu Jingyi turned his head to look at Liu Jinglan and asked suddenly.

Liu Jinglan smiled slightly: "It was you who insisted on coming to Huoyan Mountain to contract a pet beast, and now you want to leave?"

"Brother," Liu Jingyi gave him a wronged look and whispered, "It's too hot here during the day and too cold at night. Let's go home early."

Liu Jinglan slowly stood up, looked up at the starry night sky, and said, "You high school students are trouble. I will go look for spiritual plants in the surrounding area tomorrow and go home in the afternoon."

"Brother is the best!" Liu Jingyi smiled happily.

"Tsk." Liu Jinglan curled his lips. He knew his sister's personality. She would call him brother when she needed him, and just call him by his name when she didn't need him.

"Rest early, we have to fight again tomorrow." Before he could finish his words, Liu Jinglan suddenly saw a bright flame burning in the night sky not far away. It was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Is there a battle over there?"

Hearing the voice, Liu Jingyi also stood up and looked over, his eyes shining: "Brother, there's something exciting to watch!"

Liu Jinglan shook his head and said thoughtfully, "There's nothing exciting to see at this time of night. It must be that some beastmaster had a conflict with a wild pet."

At this point, he stroked his chin and muttered, "It's strange, it seems that many wild pets rioted earlier, running to the edge of the area one after another."

"Is there any connection between them?"

Liu Jinglan was still in deep thought when he saw Liu Jingyi pick up the little Lieyan Eagle and said to him, "Brother, let's go help."

Liu Jinglan narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Jingyi with a puzzled look.

Liu Jingyi replied: "Have you forgotten the new rules of the association? As long as you help a beastmaster in distress in the wild, you can get a contribution point after confirmation."

"It seems there is such a rule." Liu Jinglan muttered, and then his eyes sparkled. He quickly pulled Liu Jingyi forward, "Hurry, hurry, my contribution value is calling me."

As a mid-level Beastmaster who was just certified yesterday, Liu Jinglan not only has the courage to bring his sister who has just become a Beastmaster into the Flame Mountain, but also has the confidence to rescue other Beastmasters in the middle of the night.

If he was just a beginner beastmaster, neither of the above two things would happen.

As the thought flashed through his mind, a dazzling white summoning array appeared in front of Liu Jinglan, and a huge figure slowly emerged.

The Red Flame Ox is huge in size, covered with red hair all over its body, with a circle of white hair around its neck, a ball of flame burning at the end of its long tail, and flame patterns on the lower ends of its limbs.

"Red Flame Ox, I'm counting on you." Liu Jinglan said.

"moo"

The Red Flame Ox called out softly, then slowly lowered its body, carried Liu Jinglan and Liu Jingyi on its back, and ran towards the place where the fire was flickering.

The Red Flame Bull's running speed was not very fast, but its running posture was very stable, and the two people sitting on it did not feel any bumps at all.

After a while,
A deafening explosion sounded beside his ears, and the bright flames became clearer and clearer. Liu Jinglan couldn't help but narrow his eyes and urged, "Hurry up."

Even as a student of the Beast Taming Academy, he still needs every hard-earned contribution point.

"Moo!"

The Red Flame Ox responded in a deep voice, speeding up even faster. The cold night wind whistled past and brushed his cheeks.

at last,

They saw everything that was happening before their eyes—a group of explosive lizard monsters were lying on the ground in a mess, and a very large explosive lizard monster was struggling on the ground with a weak breath.

"Roar"

With an unwilling and mournful roar, the explosive lizard monster tilted its head, closed its eyes, and fell into a coma.

Liu Jinglan couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Is that the end? Isn't it a wasted trip?"

They worked so hard to get here, but the fight was over and their contribution points were gone.

Liu Jingyi tugged at Liu Jinglan's sleeve, and the latter came back to his senses immediately. He coughed softly and explained to the man and woman who were looking at him, "Don't get me wrong, we are beastmasters resting nearby. When we noticed the situation here, we hurried over to support us."

As he spoke, he jumped to the ground and said, "Did you guys deal with all these explosive lizard monsters?"

Chang Yuhuan smiled slightly and pointed at Chen Yuan beside him: "To be more precise, he solved it."

She witnessed the entire fierce fight. Cola rushed into the group of explosive lizard monsters and ran back and forth, shooting wind blades continuously. Soon, he defeated the explosive lizard monsters.

Sparks was even more powerful in the battle against the Explosive Lizard. He continuously used flame surges and flame energy attacks, like a ruthless bombing machine, and the latter had almost no ability to resist.

It turns out that every mid-level beastmaster is so powerful.

Hearing Chang Yuhuan's answer, Liu Jinglan's eyes flickered. He first walked around the fallen Explosive Lizards, exclaiming in amazement, and then walked towards Chen Yuan and stretched out his right hand: "I'm Liu Jinglan, what's your name?"

"Chen Yuan." Chen Yuan shook hands with him.

陈渊
Liu Jinglan searched for the name in his mind and quickly shook his head.

He had never heard of this name in the Beast Taming Academy or the Association. It was obvious that the Beast Tamer was from outside the area.

And he is obviously a very powerful beastmaster.

He didn't need to carefully observe the conditions of the Flame Cloud Falcon and the Wind Hound. He could easily draw the conclusion just by looking at the fallen Explosive Lizards.

"That Explosive Flame Lizard is very large, and is most likely a Level 2 monster. Coupled with a group of Level 1 Explosive Flame Lizards, it will be difficult for an ordinary Level 2 pet to handle it."

"It seems that this Chen Yuan is also a mid-level beastmaster."

After coming to this conclusion, Liu Jinglan immediately wanted to make friends: "Friend, are you interested in a pet battle?"

Chen Yuan was stunned.

He now discovered something strange. Many beast masters would naturally ask each other a question as soon as their eyes met: "Want a pet battle?"

It's like a bunch of NPCs with pre-programmed programs.

Liu Jingyi quickly pulled Liu Jinglan's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice: "Brother, don't you see what's going on now?"

Liu Jinglan came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, but he just changed his words: "When you have time, let's have another exciting pet battle."

Chen Yuan didn't comment, but just said, "Thank you for coming all the way here to help."

"Hey, we are all beastmasters, so it's only natural for us to help each other outside." Liu Jinglan answered casually, then looked at the group of Explosive Lizards lying on the ground, narrowed his eyes and asked, "How are you going to deal with them?" Chen Yuan pondered and said, "These Explosive Lizards are a bit strange. We didn't provoke them, but they attacked us for no reason."

Liu Jinglan nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe it has something to do with the previous pet riot."

"Pet riot?" Chen Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Hmm." Liu Jinglan nodded slightly and guessed, "I don't know what happened in the area ahead. Many pets were stimulated and fled outside. Maybe this group of explosive lizard monsters encountered you while fleeing and thought you were blocking their way, so a conflict broke out."

Chen Yuan's mouth twitched.

This statement may not seem to stand up to scrutiny, but it is often likely to be the correct answer.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he turned his head to look at Chang Yuhuan who was holding a camera and taking pictures of the Explosive Lizard Monster's face, and said, "Let's set up camp somewhere else."

Chang Yuhuan didn't even turn around: "Okay, okay, wait for me."

"Let's come along too, so that we can have someone to take care of us at night." Liu Jinglan said.

Chen Yuan glanced at Liu Jinglan, hesitated for a while, and nodded: "Okay."

The group packed up their luggage and moved to another area to set up camp and rest.

There are thin clouds above the Huoyan Mountain, and you can see a round moon and countless stars when you look up.

After what happened before, the four of them were no longer sleepy and sat in front of the campfire chatting and discussing.

"Is this the Fiery Eagle?" Chen Yuan focused his attention on the little fellow in Liu Jingyi's arms, "Can I touch it?"

"of course can."

The Fiery Eagle in Liu Jingyi's arms was sleeping soundly. Chen Yuan carefully stretched out his right hand and gently stroked its hard feathers.

Well, the feel is not good, the hair is smooth without sparks.

But as the system upgrade sounded and two source points were obtained, Chen Yuan showed a bright smile on his face: "Very cute little guy."

"Of course." Liu Jingyi raised his head slightly, a gleam in his dark eyes, "This is the original pet I captured with great effort."

Liu Jinglan curled her lips and exposed him bluntly: "It turns out that picking up a Fiery Eagle on the road can be considered hard work."

"Ah, my, brother, why are you like this!" Liu Jingyi put his hands on his hips and glared at Liu Jinglan.

While taking photos of Lie Yan Diao, Chang Yuhuan looked up and asked, "Are you brother and sister?"

Liu Jinglan nodded, then pointed at his younger sister: "Liu Jingyi, a sophomore, just became a beginner beastmaster yesterday, and dragged me to Huoyan Mountain to find a suitable initial pet."

"She was dissatisfied with various pets along the way, but unexpectedly she picked up a Fiery Eagle."

"This is destiny. I was destined to meet this little guy when he was born, and then work hard with me to become the strongest beastmaster." Liu Jingyi lowered his head and stared at the Lieyan Eagle, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Liu Jinglan said expressionlessly: "You know, high school students are like this and don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

Chang Yuhuan covered her mouth and chuckled, and Chen Yuan laughed helplessly.

The four of them sat around the campfire. Cola lay beside Chen Yuan, his big fluffy tail slowly sweeping across the latter's waist and back. His blue eyes stared at the night sky, and he suddenly missed his friends on the farm.

It's not fun here at all!
No delicious food yet!
Sparks flew high in the air as his sharp eyes scanned the surrounding area, always alert for any anomalies.

Liu Jinglan's Red Flame Bull was half lying on the ground with its eyes closed. Liu Jinglan and Liu Jingyi leaned on its back.

Liu Jingyi poured mineral water into her palm, carefully washed the dirty hair on the Fiery Eagle's body with the water, and then straightened the feathers one by one.

Liu Jinglan curled her lips: "Prodigal son, is this how you waste water?"

Liu Jingyi glared at him: "Brother, you are actually more handsome when you don't speak."

Afterwards, Liu Jingyi took out a bag of special rations for pet cubs that were newly launched in the Beast Management Mall. Compared with ordinary rations, this ration had a more delicate taste and was more suitable for the stomachs of cubs.

She was very patient and fed the seeds one by one into the mouth of the Fiery Eagle.

Sometimes Liu Jingyi would deliberately tease the Lieyan Eagle by holding granular rations in front of the Lieyan Eagle and shaking them continuously.

The Lieyan Eagle would open its mouth impatiently, and when it saw that Liu Jingyi did not feed it, it would raise its head and try to eat.

At this time, Liu Jingyi would take the food far away again, and the Fierce Flame Eagle would flap its wings and open its mouth to chase after it.

The interaction between the two little guys amused the three of them. Coke also looked up in a daze, imagining the scene of his owner feeding him like this.

"Can this little guy fly?" Chen Yuan asked.

Bird pets have a very strong desire to fly, but from the beginning to now, he has not seen the Fiery Eagle fly.

"That shouldn't be the case." Liu Jingyi thought about it carefully and replied, "It has never flown since I saw it."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Then it should have been born not long ago."

"Hey, have you heard of the legend of the Flaming Mountain?" Liu Jinglan suddenly brought up a topic.

Chen Yuan shook his head and Chang Yuhuan nodded.

Liu Jinglan looked at Chen Yuan and explained, "There is a legend circulating in our area."

He cleared his throat and spoke slowly in a magnetic radio voice: "It is said that there is a huge monster sleeping under the ground of Huoyan Mountain. When it wakes up, Huoyan Mountain will burst into raging flames that cannot be extinguished by water."

"When it gets angry, the flames will spread in all directions, covering all areas and forming a barren land with no grass growing."

"Some people say this is also the origin of the name Fire State."

Chen Yuan held his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "There are similar folk tales in many places."

"That's true." Liu Jinglan nodded first, then looked at the bright flames burning on the distant mountaintops and muttered, "But the situation described in this legend is very similar to the present."

Liu Jingyi waved his hand: "Hey, the teacher told us to talk about science, why are you still superstitious?"

Liu Jinglan glanced at her and said, "Now that spiritual energy has revived, it's useless to just talk about science."

Liu Jingyi said nothing, but just lowered her head to tease the Lieyan Eagle.

"Actually, I've heard of this legend as well." Chang Yuhuan took over the topic. "It is said that when this monster breaks out of the ground, it will shake the heavens and the earth, and flames will surge everywhere. Whether it's the sky, the ground, or the rivers, they will all be burned by the fire, endangering the safety of the entire world."

"See." Liu Jinglan spread his hands and smiled, "What she said is much more serious than what I said."

"Hmph." Liu Jingyi snorted softly, his dark eyes immersed in the starlight of the night sky, and he muttered softly, "I hope this day will never come."

Liu Jinglan was silent for a moment, then he touched Liu Jingyi's head and said softly: "Don't worry, even if that day really comes, I will stand in front of you."

Chang Yuhuan raised his right hand: "And me, and me, I am also a member of Huozhou, I will also help."

Chen Yuan joked: "If such a day really comes, no matter where I am, I will come to help you."

"It's settled then." Liu Jingyi blinked.
