Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 146 Major changes in the jade pendant!
Carrying a bag full of food for the pets, Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao drove to Xuanhe Village.

"Wow, there are also some small gifts." Chen Yuan quickly discovered the other small gifts.

Some small items made based on various pets, such as Tinder dog key chains, Wind Hound puppets, Flame Cloud Falcon ornaments, etc.

"Yin Yin~" The twin flower concubines looked at these small objects curiously, but never saw what she looked like. She couldn't help but puffing up her cheeks and looking angry.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I'll customize one for you later."

"Yin Yin~"

The twin concubines smiled, climbed onto Chen Yuan's shoulders, and pressed their bodies against his cheek.

Soft and soft.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan commented on Cai Hong's thank-you gift: "It's thoughtful."

"The first time I saw the director, I knew he was a good leader who was dedicated to his duties," said Zhang Hao.

"why?"

"Because he has no hair on top of his head." Zhang Hao replied.

Chen Yuan was silent at first, then asked, "Aren't there a lot of leaders without hair?"

Zhang Hao chuckled: "Brother Yuan, you don't understand this, right? His belly is not round at all, and there is a sense of efficiency in his gestures. These things combined, it is very likely that he is a good leader."

After a pause, he said, "But the more such a leader is, the more pressure there is to work under him, and the more nervous I become."

"Drive your car well."

at dusk.

The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared into the horizon.
Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao returned to Xuanhe Village.

After asking Zhang Hao to come to the farm to get a lumen fruit tomorrow, Chen Yuan hurried back to the farm.

"Diandian~"

The most excited was the Diandian Flying Cat. It flapped its thin yellow wings and flew straight into the farm gate.

This was the first time that Diandian Flying Cat had been away from the farm for such a long time, and for the first time he felt the urge to return home.

"Crack."

The iron-headed boy who was in charge of guarding the gate followed the sound and nodded slightly after seeing the figure of the electric flying cat.

Confirmed through eye contact, no threat.

It quickly turned its head to look, and saw Chen Yuan's figure. He walked in front of the latter with steady steps, and his serious face showed reliability.

Report to the farmer that no outsiders have entered during your absence!
Chen Yuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Crack!"

Tietouwa's expression remained unchanged. He returned to his guard post and continued to observe the environment outside the farm.

The farmer has returned and he has to be more cautious.

Walking into the yard, Chen Yuan quickly saw Coke, Runrun Duck and the newly joined Fallen Horned Beast gathered together, so he walked forward quietly.

"quack?"

Run Run Duck didn't notice Chen Yuan approaching. He emptied the snack bag and confirmed that there were no snacks inside. He sighed helplessly: "Quack."

The last pack of snacks is gone.

"Ow!"

At this moment, Coke's nose suddenly moved, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head excitedly to look.

Seeing Chen Yuan, it quickly stood up and pounced towards Chen Yuan, shaking its big fluffy tail vigorously: "Aoao!"

Chen Yuan said seriously: "You can only smell my scent from so close, Coke, you are lax."

After a pause, he looked at the pile of snack packaging bags under Yaya: "Your attention was attracted by the snacks, right?"

"Ow"

Coke lowered his head guiltily.

"Quack~"

RunRun Duck, on the other hand, didn't feel embarrassed at all. It very naturally spread a bunch of snack bags behind it, sat them down with its elastic buttocks, and waved its wings at Chen Yuan.

You're back, farmer!
Chen Yuan looked at Runrun Duck and asked, "Duck, is this how you welcome new friends with snacks?"

"quack."

RunRun Duck first flapped its wings and then pointed towards the kitchen.

There is also Lingyu duck~
Chen Yuan: “?”

He originally wanted to keep the last one and wait until he got home to prepare a spiritual fish feast for the Fallen Horned Beast to welcome it to the farm.

结果
"Forget it, forget it. Just think of it as Run Run Duck welcoming me." Chen Yuan smiled helplessly, then took out the small items sent by Cai Hong, "Coke, this is yours."

Kele looked at the little puppet that looked almost exactly like him, his eyes sparkling with light, and he circled around the puppet several times, calling out, "Ahhh!"

Then, it carefully bit the little doll, with love in its eyes evident, and happily took it into the bedroom and placed it in the corner where it usually slept.

"quack?"

Runrun Duck stretched out its wings towards Chen Yuan.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan was well prepared. On the way back, he bought a waistband with a Runrun Duck pattern on it and handed it to Runrun Duck.

"quack!"

RunRun Duck was instantly excited, and quickly put on the small waistband with the help of Chen Yuan. She turned around several times in front of Diandian Flying Cat as if to show off, and then ran into the lobby to show it to Chen Weiyi.

At this time, Chen Yuan looked at the Falling Meteoric Beast and spread his hands: "I haven't found a suitable gift for you yet, I'm sorry."

"But I brought you enough food, so just eat as much as you want from now on." Chen Yuan pointed to a large bag of pet food behind him.

“How does it feel to be here at the farm?”

“Are you still getting used to it?”

"Did the ducks bully you?"

"Ho ho ho!"

In response to Chen Yuan's series of answers, the Fallen Horned Beast first nodded, then shook its head.

Senior YaYa is very nice to me.

Gave me lots of delicious food.

After chatting with the little ones for a while, Chen Yuan came to the lobby to greet the old man, and then prepared dinner with him.

As the night deepens,
The little ones all went back to their own nests to sleep. Cola lay in the corner, close to the Wind Hound doll, staring with his blue eyes.

On the desk in the bedroom, there is a Yanyun Falcon ornament.

The yard also fell into silence. Diandian the flying cat was sleeping soundly in the tree house. Tietouwa did not return to the nest, but was still guarding the gate silently, like a silent statue.

The stars are shining brightly, and RunRun Duck falls asleep in her apron.

There was no place for the Fallenhorn to sleep on the farm, so Chen Yuan had to let it find a place to rest temporarily. He also decided to build a shed for it to protect it from the wind and rain tomorrow.

in the bedroom,
Chen Yuan closed his eyes, calmed his mind, the jade pendant on his chest glowed faintly, and he entered a state of meditation.

"Orange, Watermelon, good evening!" Still with a cheerful and lively voice, Jiang Wenning seemed to be very happy every day.

"good evening."

"Good evening you two."

After the greetings, Li Junyue took the lead in bringing up the topic, and a hint of joy was clearly revealed in his usually calm and steady voice: "I successfully entered the Investigation Department."

"That's great!" Jiang Wenning exclaimed in surprise.

"Congratulations, you finally realized your dream." Chen Yuan said.

Li Junyue's tone also became cheerful: "I have to thank you two. Without your help, I wouldn't be so successful."

Whether it was Jiang Wenning's selfless sharing of various beast taming knowledge and experience, or the precious resources sent by Chen Yuan, they all helped him a lot.

Today, after receiving the news that he had passed the assessment, he had a drink with his wife for the first time, enjoying their rare time alone together.

The heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

"Huh? I remember you took the assessment two weeks ago and said that there would be news in a week at most. Why did it take so long?" Chen Yuan keenly noticed this detail.

Li Junyue replied: "The number of applicants was beyond the expectations of the Investigation Department. It took a lot of time just to screen and review, so it was delayed for a week."

"Watermelon, you can stand out among so many competitors. You deserve to be a member of our fruit factory." Jiang Wenning grinned.

Today, Li Junyue no longer rejects this childish name. He smiled and said, "Yes, fortunately I joined the fruit factory."

At this moment, a bright light appeared in front of the three people's eyes, and a dazzling spot approached rapidly until it occupied the entire field of vision.

"coming."

Seeing this sober look, Li Junyue, who was originally a little drunk, suddenly sobered up and spoke softly.

For a moment, none of the three spoke.

It wasn't until the spot gradually calmed down that Jiang Wenning took the initiative to speak: "Hello, newcomer, don't panic, don't be nervous, I will explain everything to you." "It all started with a jade pendant."

This newcomer behaved exactly like Li Junyue did at the beginning. He fell into a long silence, with only Jiang Wenning's voice continuing to ring in his mind.

After a long time,

Jiang Wenning said: "If you don't believe us, you can take the initiative to cut off the connection with the jade pendant."

"I believe it." A magnetic female voice sounded in the minds of the three people.

Hearing this voice, Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Some familiar voices.

Although they communicated with their minds through the jade pendants, they could roughly distinguish the tone and voice.

Li Junyue didn't say anything. He calmed down and listened quietly.

They had already thought of measures to deal with the fourth person. Jiang Wenning was responsible for communicating with him, while Li Junyue analyzed the general situation of this person from his words with his many years of rich experience.

"You can use the name of a fruit as your code name. I am pomelo, and the other two are orange and watermelon." Jiang Wenning said.

"That"

The man hesitated for a while, then said, "Then I'll use grapes. The grapes here are quite famous."

Where is grape famous?
Li Junyue's eyes flashed, and many place names suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Can you tell me where you got this jade pendant?" Jiang Wenning asked, "Is it a family heirloom? Or was it obtained by accident?"

"I found it at a small stall. I think it has a vintage feel and could be very photogenic if paired with the right clothes," the man replied.

Jiang Wenning's eyes lit up: "Do you think so too? What clothes did you match?"

As we all know, girls will match different bags, clothes and pants according to different accessories.

Seeing that the topic was about to slide into something strange, Li Junyue coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk about something else."

At this time, Chen Yuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Are you a photographer?"

"Eh? How did you know?" The man was surprised at first, then muttered, "Your voice sounds familiar."

Chen Yuan suddenly smiled: "I am Chen Yuan."

Right, everything is right.

This familiar voice.

If there is a place that is famous for grapes, it must be Huozhou.

"Hey hey hey, you know each other?" Jiang Wenning exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Remember when I went to Huozhou, I met three new friends? She is one of them."

Hearing this, Li Junyue's originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, but he had not yet completely let down his guard.

"Hello, I'm Chang Yuhuan."

Sitting in the small rented room, Chang Yuhuan, who had originally felt nervous because of this unfamiliar and mysterious environment, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yuan suddenly asked: "Where did you find this jade pendant?"

"The ancient city of Shule." Facing Chen Yuan's question, Chang Yuhuan answered truthfully.

"I remember you were taking photos in the ancient city of Shule during this period." Chen Yuan said.

"Yes, I found this jade pendant today when I was photographing the ancient city. I didn't expect something like this to happen." Chang Yuhuan still finds it amazing when thinking back to the experience brought about by this jade pendant.

Li Junyue suddenly said, "Just as we guessed, there are more than three jade pendants. It is very likely that there are other jade pendants distributed in other places, waiting to be discovered."

After he finished speaking, he added in his heart: "I hope no one else will join."

The more people there are, the more entanglements there will be.

However, at this moment, a bright light first bloomed in front of the four people's eyes, covering all their vision, and then a picture scroll slowly opened up, showing many strange lines.

"What is this?" Jiang Wenning asked in surprise.

Chen Yuan calmed down and examined the painting in his mind. He looked at the strange lines and suddenly frowned: "This looks like the outline of our Donghuang."

After these words were spoken, the other three looked back.

"This is not a scroll, it's a map." Li Junyue said in an affirmative tone.

Hearing Li Junyue say this, Jiang Wenning also slowly spoke: "Yes, this is Yunnan Province, this is the northern border, and this is the eastern coast."

At this time, Chen Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Why did the jade pendant suddenly change?
Is it because of Chang Yuhuan's joining?
Why did the map of Donghuang land appear?
The next moment, spots that glowed faintly appeared on the map. Upon careful counting, there were eight spots in total, distributed in different locations on the map.

Chen Yuan calmly recalled the specific location of Qin Province on the Donghuang map, and suddenly found that there was a spot that was extremely close to Qin Province.

No, this spot is in Qin Province!
Could this spot be himself?
No.

Chen Yuan quickly shook his head, denying this answer.

If each of them represents a spot, then there should be a spot where Jiang Wenning is now.

But the location of the Demon City was dark, with no spots.

"What's going on with these spots?" Jiang Wenning felt very uncomfortable with the sudden change in the jade pendant, and many doubts filled his mind.

"Wait a minute, I'll check the map on my phone." After saying this, Chen Yuan first memorized the spot on the map that was particularly close to him, then came out of meditation, opened the map on his phone, and checked it carefully.

After a while,
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, his lips moved, and he uttered two words: "Qinling."

The approximate location of this spot is the Qinling Mountains.

If you compare carefully, it should be somewhere on the southern foot of Qinling Mountains.

Subconsciously, Chen Yuan thought of the mysterious forest.

Enter the meditative state again.

"There is a spot here, located in the Fire State, and it seems to be the Flame Mountain." Chang Yuhuan said.

Li Junyue followed up and said, "There is also a spot in Yun Province, in the northwest, not too far from me."

Jiang Wenning said: "There are no spots along the coast, but there is one in the East China Sea."

The remaining four spots are located elsewhere, farther away from them.

"What do these maps and spots mean?" Jiang Wenning's beautiful eyes flickered and suddenly shone brightly. "Are they telling us that there are treasures in these places?"

"Or the ruins of the past?"

Listening to Jiang Wenning's guess, Chen Yuan nodded: "It's not impossible."

Li Junyue, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said, "Have you noticed that the distribution of these spots has something in common?"

“They are all located in areas that are rarely visited.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

"So what should we do now?" Chang Yuhuan suddenly asked the most critical question at the moment.

Everyone fell silent.

This jade pendant suddenly had a map and some spots of unknown meaning, which was obviously trying to convey some information, just like the treasure or ruins that Jiang Wenning guessed.

But the jade pendant did not give any other clues, so they could only guess like headless flies.

But think about it from another angle. The only function this jade pendant had previously displayed was the ability to transmit sound over a thousand miles. Now it has an additional function of unknown meaning, which might be its original appearance.

Chen Yuan pondered and said, "How about this, let's ignore these things for now. Next time I go into the mountains, I'll go to the place marked by this spot and take a look."

Li Junyue reminded in a deep voice: "We don't have any other information now, you must be prepared to face danger."

The discussion about the map and spots came to an end, and everyone turned the topic back to Chang Yuhuan.

"Grape, you will be a member of our fruit factory from now on. Feel free to ask me anything about beast taming." Jiang Wenning showed a faint smile on her face, "We have a very powerful beast tamer among us. He knows everything."

Chen Yuan quickly took over the topic: "Yes, it's Youzi. She is a talented beastmaster in the Beast Taming Academy. Usually we ask her for advice when we have questions we don't understand."

Li Junyue smiled, and then introduced himself seriously: "Hello, my name is Xigua, and I am currently a member of the Investigation Department."

Jiang Wenning suddenly remembered something: "Chengzi, since you already knew Grape, did you already have contact information?"

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.

Jiang Wenning's eyes flickered as he suggested, "How about we add our contact information? This way, communication will be more efficient."

"And after what happened today, I think it's very necessary for us to keep in touch at all times."

"Okay." Li Junyue, who had always been opposed to this matter, finally nodded.

It's time to take it a step further.

Chen Yuan pondered and said, "We can usually communicate by mobile phone. If someone goes into the wild, we can use the jade pendant."

In the wild, when there is no mobile phone signal, the communication function of the jade pendant is not affected.

They initially complained that this function of jade pendants was useless in today's information-rich society, but now it seems that the opposite is true.

Being able to stay connected anytime, anywhere is an extremely important feature.
