Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 166: Yaya advances! Ironhead baby advances!

The advancement ceremony of Runrun Duck and Steelhead Gopher went surprisingly smoothly.

Devour the advancement resources and start advancing on the spot.

A few hours later, two powerful auras erupted almost at the same time.

"Quack~"

Runrun Duck's body became more slender, and its tail feathers spread out like a fan, with a water-blue halo on the edges.

It flapped its wings gently, and ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the pond nearby. Each ripple contained healing power.

Water-based skill, Clear Wave.

When Run Run Duck flaps its wings, it can create healing water waves, and the creatures affected by the water waves can slowly and continuously recover from their injuries.

Chen Yuan flashed: "The petals of the Twin Flower Concubine can only be used individually, but Run Run Duck's skill is a group skill."

Although the healing effect is slow, it is very useful during combat.

Chen Yuan thought about it and called out Run Run Duck's data panel:

[Race: Runrun Duck (collected)
Attribute: Water

Level: 10 (Level )

Favorability: 82
技能：水涌(精通1.3/7）+水箭(熟练2.9/5）+水束缚(熟练1.3/5）+清涟之波(粗通0.1/3）+
Quality: Command

Conditions for promotion to Morning Star quality: insufficient source points (3.6/20)]

With its strength breaking through to the second level and its quality upgraded to the commander level, RunRun Duck's overall combat capability has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The farm is so big that there is enough space to sit and watch the world.

Tietouwa also advanced successfully.

Its body grew larger, its iron skull gradually deformed, sharp serrations grew on the edges, and a row of shallow steel spikes rose up on its back.

The orange color of the iron-headed boy's eyes became more intense, as if it had transformed from orange to gold, and the cold light of metal was reflected in his pupils.

boom!
The eyes of the iron-headed boy, who exuded a metallic texture all over his body, flashed, and his body suddenly jumped forward. In a short moment, he crossed several meters and swung his raised front paws on a large rock not far away.

In an instant, the stone cracked and broke.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Charging Blade."

He had seen this skill before in the battle with Silver Mantis, and it caused quite a bit of trouble to Spark.

Unexpectedly, once the quality of Iron Head Baby was improved, he awakened this skill on his own.

What a double blessing.

[Race: Steelhead Gopher (collected)
Attribute: Steel

Level: 10 (Level )

Favorability: 84
技能：钢刃(精通3.6/7）+铁臂(熟练4.6/5）+钢刺滚筒(熟练3.5/5）+冲袭之刃(粗通0.1/3）+
Quality: Command

Requirements for promotion to Morning Star quality: Insufficient source points (3.6/20)]

"It seems that RunRun Duck is going to take the long-range output plus semi-support route, and Tietou Wa is going to take the fast attack route." Chen Yuan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

During this period of time, he studied various types of pet knowledge and found that it was very important to determine the pet's fighting style.

The fighting style should be determined based on the racial characteristics of the pet and its own skills.

For example, Spark has the advantage in the air, so it does not need to master too many close combat skills, it only needs to work hard on long-range output methods.

Of the four skills that RunRun Duck currently possesses, two are ranged skills, one is a control skill, and one is a healing skill. In addition, due to RunRun Duck's own personality, it is not suitable to be a main attacker, but rather a supporting player.

Among the four skills mastered by Iron Head Baby, except [Iron Arm], the rest are close combat skills.

Iron Head Boy is quite flexible, and now he has awakened [Charge Blade], which obviously makes him suitable for quick attack tactics.

A charging blade directly rushed to the opponent's face, followed by a steel blade that hit the opponent's crown, and the battle was declared over.

But there was one thing that puzzled Chen Yuan. Clearly, Run Run Duck and Tie Tou Wa could awaken their skills as soon as they advanced, so why couldn't Sparks and Coke?
He thought about it and guessed that Spark and Coke had a deeper foundation and the difficulty of awakening their skills was higher.

But no matter what, RunRun Duck and Tietou Wa successfully advanced, and the little guys congratulated them happily. Coke even urged YaYa to go to Mingyu Lake to hunt spirit fish again tomorrow.

"Hooho~"

The Falling Horned Beast was sincerely happy for Senior Yaya and walked back and forth on all fours.

As for the fighting style of Fallenhorn, it is undoubtedly a meat shield.

There are enough output players on the farm, and we need an indestructible meat shield to allow the other pets to have room to output.

"Dian Dian."

Only the Diandian flying cat looked lonely, as if it was out of tune with the joyful atmosphere in the yard.

Chen Yuan was keenly aware of this, squatted down, rubbed the furry head of the electric flying cat, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you're next."

"Dian Dian?"

The electric flying cat suddenly looked up, and its round eyes were glowing in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"I'm not lying to you." Chen Yuan smiled even more.

The next goal is to advance Den Den Flying Cat and Go Chicken, and you can directly use contribution points to purchase the advancement conditions.

The eggs laid by Tongling quality Doudou chickens should be more delicious, right?
"Dian Dian!"

Hearing Chen Yuan's repeated confirmation, the electric flying cat showed joy, wrapped its long and slender tail around his wrist, and rubbed its head against his thigh affectionately, which was rare.

After calming down the flying cat, Chen Yuan stood up and looked at Run Run Duck and Tie Tou Wa: "Have a pet battle with each other."

"Duck?"

Hearing this, Runrun Duck couldn't help but widen his eyes and pointed at himself with his wings.

what?
Should I fight against Iron Head Boy?
Yaya tilted her head slightly and saw the Iron Head Boy, whose body was glowing with metallic light and whose golden eyes flashed with danger, staring at her quietly. She shuddered immediately and shook her head wildly like a rattle.

But Chen Yuan's bewitching voice rang in his ears: "Don't you want to try how powerful you are now?"

"Aren't you curious at all?"

"Yaya, don't you have any requirements for your own strength?"

Runrun duck nodded subconsciously. It really didn't have any requirements for its own strength. It could only stay on the farm and eat and wait for death. Duck~
But it suddenly remembered what happened last night, and it seemed that strength was also very important.

At this moment, two little ducks appeared in Runrun Duck's mind.

A duck was emitting black air all over its body, and its mouth was tilted to make disturbing sounds.

A duck has a halo on its head and is holy and flawless, symbolizing that I have no desires and just want to live my life in peace.

While the two little ducks were fighting each other, Coke had already bitten Runrun Duck's tail and dragged it out of the farm.

"Ouch!"

Fight, fight!
For a moment, all the little guys walked outside to witness the battle between Run Run Duck and Tie Tou Wa.

When Tietouwa saw that they were going to fight outside the farm, he suddenly became hesitant.

Chen Yuan knew Tie Tou Wa's concerns and said with a smile, "It's okay, we are near the farm."

If a pet attacks the farm at this time, it will face a group of second-level pets of leadership quality.

"quack!"

RunRun Duck was already panicking, flapping its wings and trying to go back, but was held by the little guys and couldn't escape.

"quack."

Duck, I just want to live my life!
After a while, RunRun Duck and Tietou Wa looked at each other from a distance. Chen Yuan and the little guys gathered around, waiting for the fight to begin.

at the same time,

Wu Peng and Zeng Hui walked towards the farm gate carrying fruit milk.

"Wu Peng, isn't it inappropriate for us to visit at this time?" Seeing the blood-red setting sun, Zeng Hui questioned the timing of the two men's visit.

Who would go hiking in the afternoon?
Wu Peng waved his hand and explained with a smile: "I have thought about this matter specially."

"Advisor Chen will be back in the early morning and will have to deal with the follow-up matters regarding the Snow Cloud Wolf. He will definitely be busy for a long time."

"So he must have gotten up very late today."

"That is to say, Consultant Chen has to rest during the day and only has time to greet us at night."

"At this time, everyone in the village has already had dinner. We won't disturb Consultant Chen if we go there now."

After hearing this explanation, Zeng Hui thought seriously for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two men quickly walked to the gate, but the steel-headed gopher that was guarding the gate last night was nowhere to be seen. They shouted several times but no one from the farm responded.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting began to rise.

The two men looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly, and they ran towards the direction where the fighting sound came from.

Soon,
A fierce fight came into view.

RunRun Duck stood by the quietly flowing river and flapped its wings. Three five-pointed star patterns appeared on its forehead. Streams of water quietly wrapped around Tietouwa's ankles and then surged upwards, turning into a constantly rotating whirlpool of water that trapped Tietouwa inside.

The Iron Head Boy's eyes narrowed, and three pentagrams appeared on his forehead. His sharp front claws slammed into the ground, and steel blades broke out of the ground, actually cutting off the water flow in front of him.

At the same time, Tietouwa used the force to bounce up, turning into a silver-gray meteor and crashing straight into Runrun Duck's chest!
"quack!"

RunRun Duck looked panicked, but subconsciously leaned back and spurted out a torrent of water from its mouth in an attempt to stop Tietou Wa.

Tietouwa swung the sharp blade in front of him, and the moment the steel blade cut through the water column, Runrun Duck had already taken several steps back, and threw out three [Water Arrows] from the tip of its beak, which stabbed at Tietouwa with his arms crossed.

The series of attacks were truly spectacular, and made the two men feel excited.

After a while, Zeng Hui suddenly woke up: "Another pet beast is attacking the farm?"

Wu Peng noticed the details: "Is it a quality-leading Runrun duck?"

Suddenly, they saw Chen Yuan standing not far away, surrounded by a group of pets. The two of them immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Advisor Chen, I'm here to help you!"

Chen Yuan turned around in confusion.

Wu Peng rolled up his sleeves, his eyes burning: "Advisor Chen, is this Runrun duck going to attack the farm? Although I am not strong enough, I can help."

Zeng Hui nodded repeatedly: "Me too."

Chen Yuan was stunned and asked, "Ah?"

"Runrun Duck is going to attack the farm?"

Does RunRun Duck know about this itself?
A thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan explained, "You must have misunderstood. Runrun Duck and Steelhead Gopher are both pets on the farm, and they are fighting each other."

"???"

Wu Peng secretly swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling: "Advisor Chen, is this commanding quality Runrun duck also your pet?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "This child can help water the farm, so I'll let him stay."

Hearing this, Wu Peng felt dizzy.

A second-level Runrun duck of commanding quality is used for watering?
Is this the foundation of Baokun City's number one beastmaster?
No, no.

Wu Peng shook his head slightly, and many messages flashed through his mind.

"Watering is just a cover. Consultant Chen should cultivate Runrun ducks and steelhead gophers at the same time."

"Using the method of raising Gu, whoever improves faster and has stronger strength will become Consultant Chen's third pet."

"Wow, as expected of Consultant Chen, the way he selects pets is so generous."

Countless beastmasters want a pet of commanding quality but are unable to get one, but with Consultant Chen, they can get one easily.

Baokun City's number one beastmaster, well-deserved!
Wu Peng, who thought he saw through Chen Yuan's thoughts, smiled and nodded at him, casting a meaningful look: "Advisor Chen, I understand, I understand." Chen Yuan: "?"

No, you understand?
Then, Wu Peng looked at Zeng Hui, who looked puzzled, and winked at him.

I'll tell you when I get back.

Zeng Hui nodded silently.

The fierce fight on the field continues.

The Iron Head Boy shrank his body and curled up into an iron ball. Three-inch steel spikes suddenly grew on his body surface. He used the [Steel Spike Roller] to roll over the ground, and stone chips flew everywhere he passed.

This is the skill that Iron Head Boy awakens after being promoted to elite quality - Steel Spike Roller.

RunRun Duck leaped into the small river nearby, its tail feathers created ripples, and the healing waves quickly spread.

Chen Yuan muttered softly, "Yaya is really prepared for a rainy day."

Although he was not injured, Run Run Duck was the first to use his healing skills.

Well, very stable.

RunRun Duck has lived on the farm with Tietou Wa for so long and is very aware of the latter's terrifying attack power.

Seeing Run Run Duck jumping into the river, Tie Tou Wa had no choice but to stand up and move forward, swinging the sharp blade in front of him, and the cold light rushed straight at Run Run Duck!
Runrun Duck flapped its wings and turned to avoid the steel blade. The water arrow from the wing tip brushed against Tietouwa's head and hit the water surface.

bang bang bang!
The water column drenched the whole body of Tietouwa, his golden eyes flickered, and his [Strike Blade] was wrapped in a sharp white light. He approached Runrunya in an instant and swung the blade!
"quack!"

RunRun Duck screamed and backed away, trying to dive into the water to avoid it, but the water was too shallow, and most of its body went in, leaving its buttocks exposed.

The next moment, a burning pain came from the buttocks. Runrun Duck quickly turned around, flapped its wings, and slapped the water surface hard.

Thin streams of water rose from the water surface and turned into chains at an astonishing speed to bind the iron-headed boy!
"Amazing"

Wu Peng muttered as he watched the fierce confrontation.

Even though there was no beastmaster to command, the fight between the two pets was extremely fierce, with waves of attacks following one after another, leaving no chance to breathe.

If he faced any pet, he would probably be defeated quickly.

"Is this Consultant Chen's alternative pet?" he wondered in his heart.

At this moment,

Run Run Duck took advantage of the fact that Iron Head Baby was restrained and shot out a powerful water arrow!
"Crack!"

The Iron Head Boy crossed his steel arms, which shone with metallic light, and endured the attack of the water arrows. At the same time, he swung the steel blade horizontally to break the water flow.

Chen Yuan said at the right time: "Okay, let's stop here."

The two little guys who were in a stalemate suddenly stopped attacking each other, and the rippling water surface reflected two surging figures.

RunRunDuck and TieTouWa were both panting and looking at the opposite side.

"quack."

Run Run Duck rubbed her butt and glared at Tie Tou Wa.

Not even avoiding the vital parts!
"click"

Tietouwa scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect that the only part of Runrun Duck that he hit was the butt.

Fortunately, ripples appeared in the clear water, slowly healing Runrun Duck's injuries.

Sure enough, it is right to prepare for a rainy day.

Chen Yuan called the two little guys to his side, carefully considered his words, and said, "Yaya's fighting strategy is correct. Keep your distance, use long-range attacks, and don't get close to Tietouwa."

"quack!"

Run Run Duck couldn't help but raise its head, trying to look calm and composed, but its painful butt made it grimace and it failed in an instant.

"As for Tietouwa," Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Tietouwa, his eyes piercing, "You shouldn't let him go."

"click"

Tietouwa avoided her gaze and lowered her head.

Although RunRun Duck broke through to the second level first, Tietouwa's overall skill proficiency is much higher than the former.

This is normal, as RunRun Duck just wants to live a carefree life and spends most of his time basking in the sun; Tietou Wa is constantly working hard to practice his skills in order to guard the farm.

In addition, there is no attribute restraint between the two. In the absence of a beastmaster's command, Iron Head Baby has a greater advantage.

But it’s enough. After all, Run Run Duck is a lazy person, so it’s good enough that he can master a certain level of strength.

Can't force it.

Besides, RunRun Duck’s advantage should be in group battles, rather than fighting alone.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan turned around and looked at Wu Peng and Zeng Hui: "Let's go to the farm and sit down."

Night came,

The two left the farm side by side.

After a brief silence, Wu Peng suddenly spoke: "Have you noticed that there are many fruit trees on the farm?"

"Yanyan fruit trees, Liuming fruit trees and Kongming fruit trees. Could it be that Consultant Chen can also cultivate spiritual plants?" Thinking back to what he saw and heard on the farm, Zeng Hui's heart was filled with emotion.

Whose farm has so many spiritual plants?
Wu Peng nodded: "Not only can he cultivate pets, he can also cultivate spiritual plants. Consultant Chen is really too versatile."

"and"

He paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "That Runrun duck and Steelhead mole are the third pets that Consultant Chen prepared."

"No, maybe there are more than just them, there is also the Commander-quality Falling Horned Beast."

"The pet that the Beast Tamer Association collected some time ago should have been discovered by Consultant Chen first. After all, the habitat of this type of pet is marked as the top of the Qinling Mountains."

As a beast tamer, Wu Peng always pays attention to newly collected pets.

The tall and mighty Fallen Horned Beast of commanding quality attracted the attention of many beastmasters once it was included in the collection.

Wu Peng is one of them.

"Advisor Chen has bred a group of pets on the farm. He breeds them together, lets them compete with each other, improves each other, and then contracts the most powerful one."

"This is the key to why Consultant Chen is so powerful."

"After all, each of his pets is carefully selected."

"I'm a little curious about which pet will eventually become Consultant Chen's third pet."

"Run-Run Duck or Steelhead Gopher?"

Zeng Hui suddenly interrupted: "I think it's the Fallen Horned Beast."

He prefers tall and majestic pets.

"It should be a steelhead gopher!" Wu Peng retorted.

"Falling Meteoric Beast!"

"Steelhead gopher!"

Inside the farm,

After the two left, Chen Yuan uploaded the recorded advanced video to the official website.

Although it was late at night, he uploaded it at about the same time last time, which meant there were staff working the night shift.

As the video was uploaded successfully, Chen Yuan stretched and returned to the bedroom to rest.

The Beastmaster Association Headquarters Building,

"It's time to get off work." Du Chang yawned, fatigue evident on his face.

The work intensity during this period is average, so he can basically get off work on time.

When Du Chang thought about passing by the battle field full of JK girls fighting their pets after get off work, a silly smile appeared on his face.

The skirt fluttering in the wind and the youthful and energetic smile made this no longer young worker deeply fascinated.

"Ding dong~"

"You have new news."

The computer prompt sounded. Du Chang, who was about to turn off the computer, took a deep breath, sat down expressionlessly, and murmured: "I hope it's a video, I hope it's a video."

If the review takes too long, those JK girls might just leave.

Clicking on the page, two videos suddenly appeared. Du Chang sat up straight with his eyes shining: "Two videos!"

"RunRunDuck Elite - Command Quality Advancement Conditions."

"Steelhead Gopher Elite - Commander Quality Advancement Conditions."

Du Chang's eyes widened instantly after reading out the two lines of small characters, and he exclaimed: "Are they all promoted to commander quality?"

Although the advancement conditions from elite to commander quality would appear from time to time, this was the first time he had seen two advancement videos uploaded at the same time.

Suddenly, Du Chang felt that the uploader's profile picture looked familiar, and subconsciously clicked on it to take a look.

"Chen Yuan, a mid-level beastmaster, once uploaded the advancement conditions for Flame Cloud Falcon Ordinary - Elite and Flame Cloud Falcon Elite - Leader."

"Is this the person?" Du Chang looked surprised.

He had some impression of this man. After all, he was the one who personally reviewed the requirements for the advancement of Yanyun Falcon from elite to commander.

Well, it was also one night when I was about to get off work.

"Could it be a student from the Research Department of the Beast Taming Academy?"

"Or a researcher from some research institute?" Du Chang couldn't help but mutter.

Nowadays, researchers and research students are the main force in uploading advanced conditions.

But most people focus on studying a certain kind of pet. It is extremely rare for someone like Chen Yuan to upload the advancement conditions of three pets at the same time.

Du Chang shook his head. These matters were not his responsibility, so he clicked on the video directly.

Time passed slowly, and seeing that he had missed the battle time with the JK girls, Du Chang sighed deeply.

After a long time,

Du Chang stretched and sent the two videos to other departments.

At this moment, it was already late at night, and Du Chang was the only one left in the huge office.

He stared blankly at the glowing screen, the bright smile of a JK girl appeared in his mind, but it disappeared with the appearance of the two videos.

Hating this moment, Du Chang had to contact the uploader who was suspected to be a researcher and send a message:
“Can you please upload it sooner!!!”

But in the end he just sighed helplessly, exhaustion surging in his heart, and he stared blankly at the ceiling.

After a long time,
Finally, several departments sent messages indicating that there was nothing abnormal in the video. Du Chang quickly clicked to pass the review as quickly as possible, then rushed out of the office.

[Dear Mr. Chen Yuan, the upgrade of Run Run Duck Elite - Commander that you uploaded has passed the review. Thank you for your contribution to the Beast Tamer Association and all Beast Tamers.]

【Dear】

Late at night, Chen Yuan received two text messages in succession and smiled: "It is indeed a trustworthy work efficiency."

"Well, give a thumbs up to the staff."

"By the way, there should be fewer beastmasters uploading at night, so the review process will be faster."

"Okay, from now on, upload the advancement requirements at night."
