Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 171 Let's Save the World Together
October 10th, Thursday.

Lead-gray clouds pressed down on the scattered green tiles, and the mountain stream meandered like a silver chain among the rugged rocks.

This village, which is dozens of kilometers away from Xuanhe Village, is surrounded by mountains, with winding rivers and not enough flat land for development.

Although located in the Qinling Mountains, Anchang Village is seldom visited by beastmasters from other places. It is as desolate and quiet as before, and even the wind carries a smell of old decay.

Zhao San returned here with his wife and children yesterday, preparing to take his parents to Xuanhe Village to live for a while.

But Zhao San couldn't understand the old man's obsession with his hometown. After trying to persuade him for a long time, it was useless. He sighed helplessly.

"Forget it. My parents can't leave the crops here, and they have a herd of livestock to take care of."

"We can just come back and visit more often," advised the wife.

Zhao San sighed again: "This is the only way for now."

His business in Xuanhe Village is very good, and the income during this period seems like a dream.

Moreover, he heard that the leaders above attached great importance to the development of Xuanhe Village, and there were even rumors that the township might be upgraded to a town.

Come to think of it, with a steady stream of foreign beastmasters coming to Xuanhe Village, more and more outsiders are coming to Xuanhe Village in search of employment opportunities.

Or they can rent a store like Zhao San to do some small business, or work in a farm stay or supermarket.

Unknowingly, Xuanhe Village once again started the street construction and expansion project, and a number of self-built houses were also rising from the ground.

This series of construction also provided many jobs, and the influx of workers indirectly promoted the healthy development of the economy.

What’s different from before is that many pets have joined in the construction project.

For example, there is a pet called the Mountain Rammer, which has earth attributes, is shaped like a pangolin, and has layered toughened rock armor covering its back.

Mountain-ramming beasts can play a huge role in compacting foundations, demolishing dangerous walls, and lifting steel beams. They do not require any wages, just three meals a day.

There are not only mountain-ramming beasts, but also many pet beasts that can help carry heavy objects and reduce the workload.

Of course, when pets are incorporated into all walks of life, many ordinary workers are faced with the most severe employment environment.

In the past, you were competing with other people for a job, but now you might be competing with some kind of pet.

"By the way, I heard that someone rented the old house?" Zhao San suddenly remembered something.

"Yes." The wife nodded. "I heard that group of people specialize in picking spiritual plants and then selling them outside."

"It's not an easy job either." Zhao San said with emotion.

He had faced the Earth Bear head-on and knew better than many ordinary people how terrifying wild pets were.

When walking through the dense forest in search of spiritual plants, you might encounter many dangerous wild pets. Just thinking about it makes you feel that it is very difficult.

"That kid hasn't come back yet?" Zhao San looked around but didn't see Xiao Xiao Zhao.

The wife smiled and said, "It's not easy for him to come back. Just let him play with his friends and come home on time for dinner."

Unfortunately, today is Thursday and Xiao Xiao Zhao didn’t find any friends to play with.

He lowered his head, kicked the small stones on the roadside, and muttered, "It's not fun, it's not fun."

There is no lively and cute little Peach here, nor the Paw Patrol to take him around and run wild. It is so boring.

When Xiao Xiao Zhao thought of the majestic wind hound, a smile appeared on his face.

My parents said that the owner of the Condensed Wind Hound was their savior, so the Condensed Wind Hound was equivalent to half a life-saver.

Xiao Xiao Zhao would bring some fruits to the Ningfeng hound from time to time, and after a few times, he became familiar with it.

When the Wind Hound is in a good mood, it will take me for a stroll in the village.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao Zhao smiled and accidentally kicked the small stone in front of an old house.

He remembered the old house.

My grandparents, parents and I used to live here.

But this place is empty, with no other villagers living nearby. Later they moved away, leaving behind this lonely old house.

Xiao Xiao Zhao walked over slowly, bent down to pick up the small stone, and was about to get up and go home when a voice suddenly came from the stone wall behind him:

"Well, this batch of goods can be shipped tomorrow."

"I know this place is remote and won't attract other people's attention."

"Okay, okay, I'll make sure it's delivered on time, okay?"

"Don't worry, they have already selected their targets, and they all have beautiful fur."

"By the way, there is a Mu Mao panda cub in this batch of goods. It looks very good. Remember to bid high when the time comes."

"That's it, hang up."

Xiao Xiao Zhao opened his eyes wide, and the plots in the cartoon emerged in his mind one by one. He realized that he had discovered a shocking secret.

Afterwards, Xiao Xiao Zhao clenched the small stone, bent over, and left here quietly.

Inside the stone wall,
The square-faced middle-aged man put his phone back into his pocket and suddenly caught a glimpse of the Black Flame Dog beside him, staring at the wall intently, its limbs trembling slightly and its tail tightly tucked between its legs.

"What's wrong with you, you damn dog?"

The middle-aged man cursed angrily, then pushed open the gate and looked around, but did not see any suspicious figure.

boom!
He slammed the door shut and glared at the Black Flame Dog: "Just bark if someone comes over, don't act like a dead person."

Although this place is remote and hidden, he still got a Black Flame Dog to use as a guard just to be on the safe side.

Once the Black Flame Dog smells a stranger, it will howl.

But facing the middle-aged man who scolded him, the Black Flame Dog did not respond, but just stared at the stone wall.

Just now, it smelled a very scary smell.

The smell made it inexplicably feel a sense of fear, as if it was facing a beast stronger and more ferocious than itself, and its cry was forced to get stuck in its throat.

Seeing the abnormal reaction of the Black Flame Dog, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, and suddenly realized something was wrong - the Black Flame Dog seemed to be reacting like this because of fear?
But in this remote little village, what could possibly scare a Black Flame Dog?
To be on the safe side, the middle-aged man pushed open the gate again, carefully checked the surrounding environment, and only returned to the yard after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

At this time, the terrible smell lingering in the air gradually dissipated, and the Black Flame Dog finally breathed a sigh of relief, shaking its tail gently.

Panting, Xiao Xiao Zhao rushed back home.

"You're quite punctual. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." It was rare for Zhao San to see his own boy come back on time.

"Dad, I just heard a shocking secret!" Little Zhao supported himself on Zhao San's thighs with both hands, his little eyes showing seriousness.

Zhao San lowered his head and glanced at his dusty hands: "Wash your hands first."

"The world is about to be destroyed by bad guys, and I am the protagonist who will save the world." Xiao Xiao Zhao tightened his childish face and put on a serious look.

Zhao San nodded suddenly: "So you want to watch cartoons."

"No!!!"

Xiao Xiao Zhao suddenly became anxious. He gestured with his hands and told everyone what he had seen and heard before.

After the revival of spiritual energy, the children became more intelligent. Although Xiao Xiao Zhao was only 5 years old, he already had qualified language organization skills and could describe what he had seen in a relatively complete manner.

Of course, children tend to exaggerate and add their own subjective feelings, so they need to distinguish the truth of the information themselves.

But when Zhao San heard the words "Mu Mao panda cub", his expression instantly became serious and solemn, and he stared closely at little Zhao in front of him.

Xiao Xiao Zhao did not lie.

And there were indeed outsiders who rented that old house.

This incidates that
The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhao San quickly reached out to cover Xiao Xiao Zhao's mouth, and whispered: "I know, but don't tell this to anyone else, no one."

"Blink if you can."

Xiao Xiao Zhao blinked frantically.

Zhao San let go of Xiao Xiao Zhao's mouth, and at this time his wife came over with the dishes.

Xiao Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up, and he instantly forgot what he had just promised. He opened his mouth and said, "Mom, I'll tell you."

"Cough cough." Zhao San coughed lightly and turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Xiao Zhao's voice suddenly stopped.

Seeing Xiao Xiao Zhao's reaction, Zhao San nodded slightly, and then told his wife everything that had just happened.

Xiao Xiao Zhao's eyes widened: "Dad, didn't you say not to tell anyone else?"

"Your mother is not someone else."

"Then why can't I say it?"

"I want to test your confidentiality."

The conversation between the father and son made the wife laugh softly, but a serious problem was placed before them at this moment - how to deal with this matter?
Zhao San frowned, looking worried: "The ones left in the village are all old, young, sick and disabled. It's too dangerous for them to stay in the village."

Like most villagers, although Zhao San lives in the mountains, he always pays attention to national affairs and never misses the news broadcast at 7 o'clock every night.

During this period, Zhao San repeatedly heard keywords such as "pet animal hunter" and "pet animal poacher".

The news said that pet poachers are different from ordinary animal tamers. They will use any means necessary to hunt wild pets and then sell them illegally.

The Animal Tamers Association is vigorously cracking down on this illegal behavior, but pet poachers are roaming around and deep into the mountains and forests, and they are hard to stop. Once the public finds traces of pet poachers, they must report relevant information in a timely manner.

"But where do we report to? There is no Beast Tamer office in our village, and you and I don't know any Beast Tamers." said the wife.

Zhao San fell silent.

Xiao Xiao Zhao raised his little hand: "I, I, I, I know a beastmaster."

They both looked at Xiao Xiao Zhao at the same time. The latter held his head high and said in a tender childish voice, "He's my dad's lifesaver. I have a very good relationship with his big dog!"

At this moment, the two looked at each other, thoughts surging.

If there is anyone they know who can solve this problem, then there is only one answer - Consultant Chen, the champion of the Taibai Cup Show and the number one beastmaster in Baokun City.

"I will find a way to contact Consultant Chen right away. Ask your parents to go with us to Xuanhe Village. We must persuade them no matter what. Just say that we will stay there for a few days and then send them back."

"We will set out for Xuanhe Village in ten minutes."

It was sunny in Xuanhe Village, dozens of kilometers away, and it was a good day to go into the mountains.

Compared to the last time they went into the mountains, Yang Yue and Li Qing were better prepared, and their overall strength had greatly improved.

Last time they invited Zhang Hao to be their guide, but this time they rented two skylarks as temporary guides.

"Qingqing, you must remind that little guy not to let the situation like last time happen again." Walking on the country dirt road, Yang Yue's expression was unusually serious.

Li Qing looked deeply at the scaly green snake, with a warning in his eyes.

The scaly green snake's prank once made them face the pursuit of a group of skylarks, but two of the skylarks became their guides at this moment.

The leader of the Skylarks lowered his head and glanced at the scaly green snake, giving it a teasing look.

It remembers the little green snake that fled in panic.

"hiss"

The scaly green snake spit out its cold tongue, its dark green eyes flickered, its slender tail wrapped around Li Qing's arm, and it slowly lowered its head.

At this time, Yang Yue looked up at the two skylarks and said with a smile: "Although we had a misunderstanding, I will ask you to lead the way from now on."

At this point, she reached out and stroked the cloud fox in her arms: "Do you know where there is a little fellow as cute as it?"

"Chacha."

After Chen Yuan's training, the Skylark's sense of service was very good. It nodded slightly and flew in front to lead the way.

The two of them and their pets walked towards the north.

The skylark danced in the air, skimmed over the treetops, and its wings kicked up a whirlwind of fallen leaves, carrying the fragrance of pine needles and fruits, and broke into the Qinling Mountains in autumn.

Entering the mountains again, both of them felt relaxed and refreshed, and the air they breathed was much fresher.

Without stopping along the way, they passed through the golden forest, jumped over streams, and unknowingly came to a bamboo forest.

The green bamboos are tall and straight, with swaying branches and leaves, and the sunlight shines through the gaps, casting mottled shadows.

There is a wooden sign at the entrance of the bamboo forest - there are pandas inside, they are gentle and can be touched.

"Qingqing."

Yang Yue turned his head to look at Li Qing and blinked.

"Let's go." Li Qing understood Yang Yue's thoughts and took the lead to step into the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was very quiet. The two walked for a long time but did not see the "panda" mentioned on the wooden sign, nor did they even see a pet.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp."

It was not until the skylark flapped its wings and brought them to an open space that they discovered something was wrong - this open space showed traces of a brutal battle, the bamboo roots were broken and fell to the ground, and the bamboo leaves were scattered in disorder.

Obviously, there was a fierce fight here.

But there are fierce fights everywhere in the wild, and the two are already used to it. Yang Yue just sighed: "It seems that we are unlucky. Let's go."

The two continued walking north, and before long, they saw a huge Mu Mao panda walking towards them.

Yang Yue exclaimed in surprise: "Mu Mao Panda!"

The panda reacted violently, baring its sharp teeth at Yang Yue and growling loudly, scaring the latter so much that he took a half step back: "This is different from what is described on the wooden sign!"

Gentle temperament?
Touchable?
Obviously irritable!
Li Qing, expressionless, took half a step forward and protected Yang Yue behind him. The two little snakes stared at the Mu Mao panda at the same time, making hissing sounds.

But the panda Mumao ignored them. He supported himself with his arms, walked to the open space with his head lowered, sat down, and then stared blankly at the fallen bamboos.

The breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves rustled.

The two men couldn't see its expression, but they could get a message from its movements and posture - this Mu Mao panda was very sad now.

Yang Yue's thoughts turned, and she whispered softly: "What happened?"

Li Qing shook his head.

Yang Yue looked around, scanning the Cloud Fox, Scaled Green Snake and Ripple Shadow Snake one by one, and finally landed on the leader of the Skylark: "Why don't you go and ask what happened?"

The leader of the Skylarks shook his head repeatedly.

The two men didn't recognize the Mu Mao panda, but it did.

As an excellent tribe leader, the Skylark leader knows very well which pets can be bullied and which ones cannot be provoked.

This Mu Mao panda is in the category of those who should not be messed with.

Seeing the leader of the Skylarks shaking his head, Yang Yue put his hands on his hips and looked up: "Are you afraid of it?"

“Chirp, chirp!”

This time, the Skylark leader shook his head faster and more violently.

"Then go and ask." Yang Yue said.

The leader of the Skylarks plucked up his courage and slowly approached the Mu Mao panda: "Zha?"

The Mu Mao panda suddenly raised his head, and his face was a mixture of anger and sadness, which frightened the leader of the skylarks so much that he flapped his wings and retreated.

Yang Yue laughed in silence: "It seems that the hot-tempered Skylark can also be afraid sometimes."

But what on earth happened to this Mu Mao panda?
at the same time,

Zhao San took his family back to Xuanhe Village.

Zhao San frowned and said, "I just asked, Consultant Chen went into the mountains and cannot be contacted for the time being."

"What should we do then?" asked the wife.

Zhao San sighed and said, "Tell this to the Beast Tamer Office. This is the only thing we ordinary people can do."

Afterwards, Zhao San got up and went to the Beast Tamer's office. His wife was busy cleaning up the room where his parents-in-law were temporarily staying, leaving little Zhao with nothing to do.

With his dark eyes rolling, Xiao Xiao Zhao decided to ask his dog friend for help.

Xiao Xiao Zhao ran out of the house and headed straight for the village entrance.

After a while,
Xiao Xiao Zhao saw the Paw Patrol gathered at the entrance of the village, and the Wind-Frozen Hound called "Cola" by the adults.

He squatted directly in front of Coke, with a serious expression on his small, tender face: "Coke, come and save the world with me!"

"Ouch?"

Coke tilted his head, then imitated his owner and stretched out his paw to touch Xiao Xiao Zhao's forehead.

It's not hot.

"I mean it."

Xiao Xiao Zhao pulled the dog's paws apart, his expression still serious, and told Kele everything he had heard before: "That's a bad guy, let's go catch them together!"

He clenched his fists, as if holding a child's courage in his palms, and his eyes were bright: "We must save the world together."

"Ow"

Kele stared at Xiao Xiao Zhao for a while, then motioned for the latter to sit on him, and took him back to the farm.

Kele didn't know whether what Xiao Xiao Zhao said was true or false, but his master had gone into the mountains to draw a map, so he had to ask the smartest Diandian Flying Cat for advice.

"Dian Dian."

After listening to Xiao Xiao Zhao's story, Diandian Feimao's eyes flickered and he turned his head to look at Kele.

It remembered that it had seen the Mu Mao panda cub with the farmer.

It was in a very large bamboo forest.

Coke was there too!
"Ouch!"

Coke's eyes flickered, and he suddenly remembered this incident.

At that time, Papa Bear was still fighting with Mu Mao Panda!
"Ouch!"

The thought flashed through his mind. Kele, who had been strolling around the village all day, had already felt bored. Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, he would first find a reason to run away!
It looked at the flying cat, then at the Runrun duck, and called out repeatedly: "Ahhhh!"

The adventure team strikes out!
