Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 158 There is no hero falling from the sky

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan stood in front of the deep and dark cave.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The flame-tailed fox stretched out its claws and pointed at the cave in front of it.

Here it is!
Chen Yuan looked around and saw that the little guys were eager to try, and they looked excited and couldn't wait to "rush into the cave", so he waved his hand and said: "Then go in."

The Flame-Tailed Fox and the Ice-Frost Fox wanted to explore the cave, while the father bear and the cubs tried to investigate whether this place was suitable as their new home.

The tough and strong bear dad led the way, followed by Sparks, and the rest of the little guys surrounded Chen Yuan.

Although the cave was very dark, there were sparks and flames illuminating the passage ahead.

However, after walking for a while, Dad Bear shook his head and said, "Roar, roar."

It was not satisfied with the cave.

"Why?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Hoo ho ho."

According to the bear father's explanation, the passage in the cave was too narrow and the bear could not move inside at all.

Chen Yuan nodded in understanding: "It's okay, it's normal to look down on it, anyway."

"Chirp."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Huo Spark's cry. Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two mountaineering bags in the corner in front of him.

He walked in quickly and saw that the two backpacks looked quite new and not covered with dust. It was obvious that they had only appeared here recently.

"Someone is in trouble?" This was Chen Yuan's first reaction.

Some time ago, the Beast Tamer Association issued new regulations regarding the field training of ordinary Beast Tamers. All field training is the responsibility of the individual, and staff will not participate in field rescue.

As soon as this rule came out, Zhang Hao applauded.

Therefore, Chen Yuan was not sure whether any beastmaster had encountered an accident in Qinling Mountains.

But as it stands now, the two backpacks thrown into the cave most likely mean that a beastmaster encountered an accident here.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan carefully observed the surrounding environment and soon discovered remaining traces of battle and some white spider silk.

Apparently, two beast masters had a fierce fight with an unknown pet here recently.

Judging from the abandoned mountaineering bag, the Beastmaster was defeated.

Chen Yuan squatted down and pulled hard at the white spider silk that was spread throughout every corner, but no matter how hard he pulled, the silk did not move at all, and there was no sign of breakage.

"Roar!"

Dad Bear stretched out his hands, grabbed a spider silk, and suddenly used all his strength to pull it to both sides. The result was exactly the same as Chen Yuan's experience, the spider silk remained motionless.

"Roar!"

Seeing this, the bear dad was furious. Feeling humiliated, he boldly used his [bear power]. His muscles became huge and suddenly exerted force. He tensed his body and his face turned red.

At this moment, the spider silk finally broke.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan finally felt balanced.

Even the Earth Bear, which is famous for its brute strength, had to use all its strength to tear the spider silk, let alone an ordinary human like him?
the other side,
Both Bear Cub and Coke are experimenting.

No matter how hard the bear cub tried, the spider silk was extremely strong. It looked like just a thin line, but it was as hard as steel, leaving the bear cub helpless.

"Roar"

The bear cub finally gave up, lay on the ground panting, and turned his head to look at Coke beside him.

"Ow!"

Coke's attempt was relatively simple and crude. It rolled its round eyes around and finally chose the thinnest section it thought it had. It opened its mouth, bared its teeth, and bit off!
Keng!
No matter how wildly Coke shook his head, his gleaming cold fangs were powerless against the spider silk.

"The strength of this spider silk seems unreasonable." Chen Yuan's eyes flashed.

Indeed, natural spider silk is the strongest natural protein fiber known in nature.

When ordinary spiders evolve, the strength of the silk they can produce will certainly increase, but such an increase is more or less a bit outrageous.

"Chirp~"

In the instant that the thought flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan caught a glimpse of a cluster of bright flames from the corner of his eye, and saw the sparks spurt out a small cluster of flames, splashing onto the white spider silk, melting it in an instant.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but murmur, "It seems that it's not that the spider silk is too outrageous, but that I haven't found the right method."

"Ow!"

Suddenly, Coke, who was biting the spider silk in front of him, raised his head, his triangular ears moved, his nose twitched slightly, and the next moment he let out a warning cry: "Ahhh!"

There's a strange smell approaching!
Many, many more!
The moment Cola gave a warning cry, Sparks' dark blue eyes glanced around, and he gently flicked his wings, with layers of flames emerging.

The environment inside the cave is narrow and not suitable for spark fighting.

But the power of Sparks is no longer limited to actual combat. When it unleashes its full aura, most pets will flee in panic.

The Fallen Horned Beast remembered what Chen Yuan had taught it before they entered the mountains - if they encountered a battle, it didn't need to participate, it just had to stand in front of Chen Yuan.

"Roar."

The Fallen Horned Beast followed Chen Yuan's instructions obediently, and stood firmly in front of Chen Yuan with its body as hard as a rock, like an indestructible shield.

"Yan~"

The growing twin flower concubine is no stranger to fighting. It lies on Chen Yuan's shoulder, blinking its light pink eyes deftly, and its petal-shaped hands are ready to use skills at any time.

Seeing the little ones' reactions, Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The Flame-Tailed Fox and the Ice-Condensed Fox looked at each other and decisively chose to hide behind the sparks that made them feel most secure.

"Roar"

The reactions of the father bear and the cubs were inconsistent. They seemed to be half a beat slow and only came to their senses after seeing the little guys getting ready for fighting.

The father bear pulled the cub behind him and stared straight ahead with his dark eyes. Pairs of dark green eyes appeared in the shadow corners, and the outlines of figures gradually emerged in the passage ahead and on the rock wall above.

The bright flames illuminated the surroundings, and Chen Yuan could quickly see the specific appearance of these figures - they were purple all over, with irregular black stripes on their backs, round green eyes looking straight ahead, and eight legs supporting their not-too-big bodies.

The black-striped spider is an insect-type pet that is best at using woven spider silk to set traps and catch prey. It usually lives in deep caves.

The moment his thoughts flashed through his mind, the leading black-striped spider opened its mouth and a stream of white spider silk shot towards him.

It was obvious that Chen Yuan was the prey in the eyes of these black-striped spiders.

There was no need for Sparks to attack as the Flame-Tailed Fox had already spewed out a stream of flames. The scorching heat reflected on the rock walls on both sides and instantly melted the spider silk.

Seeing that the black-striped spider launched the first attack, Chen Yuan no longer had the desire to communicate and directly ordered: "Quickly resolve the battle."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the rock wall above his head and added, "Be as quiet as possible and don't let this cave collapse."

"Sparks, don't make any moves. Just hold the line."

"Chirp~"

Sparks nodded obediently and retreated back to Chen Yuan.

The cave environment limits Sparks' performance and is not suitable for Sparks to take action.

Spark's moves are mostly high-powered skills with a large range of influence. If used in this narrow cave, it might roast the opponent before defeating them. "Ahhh!"

Hearing this, Coke's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to rush towards the group of black-striped spiders.

If the big sister doesn't take action, it's my turn to be in the spotlight!
"Roar!"

While letting the cub hide in the corner, the father bear stepped out and swung his claws at the nearest black-striped spider.

In an instant, a fierce battle began.

At the same moment,

Wu Peng slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself in a pitch-dark cave. Although he did not suffer from claustrophobia, he was still a little scared.

He tried to get up and check the environment here, but found that he was entangled by layers of thin wires and could not move at all.

No, not a thin line.

It is the spider silk produced by the black-striped spider.

Wu Peng felt a little annoyed when he thought about what happened before.

He and Zeng Hui were ambushed by a group of black-striped spiders. Both of them and their pets were trapped in spider silk and eventually transported here.

By the way, where is Zeng Hui?
"Zeng Hui, Zeng Hui, are you there?"

Wu Peng shouted his companion's name loudly, and the sound kept echoing in the cave. After a while, a hoarse voice finally sounded in his ears:

"exist"

"Are you okay?" Wu Peng asked with concern.

"fine."

"We seem to be trapped here, and we don't know where our pets have been taken." Wu Peng struggled for a while, but was unable to break free from the hard spider silk. He finally accepted his cruel fate, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you in."

Zeng Hui, who had just woken up, gradually became sober. He was also sad and angry about what happened before, but after hearing Wu Peng's words, he just sighed and said, "Don't blame anyone, it's just that our strength is too low."

"Yeah." Hearing this, Zeng Peng nodded in agreement, "Being a wimp is the original sin. If it were Consultant Chen, I'm afraid these black-striped spiders would not be his match at all."

This time, Zeng Hui did not say anything. He was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Do you think we will be eaten?"

Before Wu Peng could answer, a chuckle suddenly came into the ears of the two men.

Suddenly, they heard a strange laugh coming from nowhere in the deep and dark cave, which frightened them both and gave them goose bumps. Zeng Hui turned pale and stammered, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"You're already a beastmaster, but you're still afraid of ghosts." The man continued with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm just as unlucky as you, but I was trapped here two days earlier than you."

After saying this, he cursed again: "Damn it, I finally see a living person. I haven't spoken for two days. I am finally dying of suffocation."

After hearing these words, Zeng Hui and Wu Peng breathed a sigh of relief, and even secretly felt fortunate.

It turns out they weren't the only two who were so unlucky.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Wu Peng couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what's your name?"

"Just call me A-Tian."

"Ah Tian, what was that sound of your laughter just now?" Wu Peng asked.

A Tian replied: "I just think your statement is funny."

After a short pause, he explained: "Don't worry, black-striped spiders won't eat people. They will only use you as a prop to practice their skills."

Props for practicing skills?
Wu Peng frowned at this sentence. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't understand what it meant, so he asked decisively: "Can you explain it in detail?"

"Yeah." It seemed like he hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time. A Tian had a strong desire to talk, and he said one sentence after another, "You have seen their spider silk, right?"

"Is it very hard? Is it giving you a headache?"

In the darkness, the two nodded frantically.

"The silk-spinning ability of these black-striped spiders is so amazing. It's all acquired through practice."

Having said this, A Tian was silent for a moment, as if he was lost in memories, or as if he was formulating his words.

When he spoke again, his voice was filled with obvious fear: "These black-striped spiders will use us as props to practice spinning silk, and will spit out spider silk to entangle you again and again."

"During this process, you are unable to resist and can only watch as a group of black-striped spiders surround you and as they entangle you with strands of spider silk one by one."

"They will even let you run away, spraying spider silk while you run at high speed to practice your aim."

Wu Peng was silent for a long time, and finally uttered a sentence: "What a hard-working group of black-striped spiders."

This enthusiasm for practice is even greater than that of myself as a beastmaster.

"What about our pet?" Zeng Hui was only concerned about the whereabouts of his pet.

"It's the same experience as us." A Tian replied.

For a moment, both of them fell into a long silence.

After a long time, A Tian suddenly asked, "Are there any of you who are mid-level beast masters?"

"Or have a second-level fire pet?"

Wu Peng shook his head: "I am a mid-level beastmaster, but I don't have a fire-type pet."

Zeng Hui didn't say anything, but his silence represented his answer.

"That's right. If you had a second-level fire pet, you wouldn't have been caught." A Tian smiled, "Then let's just wait quietly for the judgment of fate."

"See if we can wait for a beastmaster with a second-level fire-type pet to enter this cave and rescue us."

After saying this, A Tian shook his head again: "No, there are too many black spiders. One is not enough. We need at least two."

He emphasized: "Two second-level fire pets."

Although there was a smile in his tone, both of them could hear the madness hidden deep inside.

The beastmaster who was captured before them was on the verge of collapse.

Zeng Peng showed a bitter smile on his face: "There may be such beast masters in Huozhou, but here."

"Then just wait for death, it's no big deal." A Tian replied casually.

In the dark cave, the two fell silent again.

Until the sound of fighting reached their ears, the three of them suddenly looked up and looked towards the darkness ahead.

"Someone entered the cave." Wu Peng's eyes lit up with hope, "They must have fought with the black-striped spider."

Zeng Hui stared straight ahead. Even though he couldn't see anything, he felt unprecedented tension and anticipation in his heart.

A Tian smiled and said, "My reaction was exactly the same as yours before, hoping that someone would rescue me, until..."

"Until you are caught too."

After a pause, he said, "Do you think this person will be another unlucky person like us?"

"After a while, there will be a few more talking buddies around us."

"Well, not bad when I think about it."

Wu Peng frowned: "Are you so pessimistic?"

"What else?" A Tian asked, "Do we really expect such a powerful beastmaster to save us?"

"Wake up, this is not a novel or a movie, there are no heroes falling from the sky."

The moment the words fell, a raging fire illuminated the entire cave.
