Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 175 The Shocked Investigation Team

For many beastmasters, if their pet is unable to avoid the opponent's attack and is repeatedly hit by the opponent, it can only mean one thing - the hard power of their pet is far inferior to that of the opponent.

The viper is well aware of this.

Moreover, although this Wind-Condensing Hound lacked the command of a beastmaster, it was able to consistently suppress and beat up the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff, which only proved that its overall strength far exceeded that of the latter.

Whether it is physical fitness, skill proficiency or reaction ability, they are all overwhelming.

"Damn it." Fuya cursed in his heart.

Who exactly is the consultant Chen mentioned by these two girls?
Glancing around from the corner of his eye, he saw two of his brothers being pecked wildly by two enraged Skylarks, causing them to scream miserably;
A group of pet beasts surrounded him from all directions, and his rammed earth beast had already lost its ability to fight and closed its eyes and fell into a coma.

The balance of victory has completely tipped over.

With a variety of thoughts surging in his mind, Fuya knew that if he continued to fight, he would only be defeated, so he had to think of a way to escape.

Although there were turbulent waves in his heart, Fuya remained calm without showing any ripples. He even raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Interesting."

At the same moment,

The fierce battle between Coke and the Bone-crushing War Mastiff continues.

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff suddenly leaped up, sweeping its long and thin tail across, and a dead pine tree that two people could hug fell to the ground and exploded into a rain of sawdust.

"Ow~"

Coke was calm and composed, with the breeze surrounding him. He moved his agile figure in the rain of sawdust with ease.

The wind blades shot out, shredding the flying branches, and the attack became more powerful, continuously hitting the natural alloy scales of the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff.

"Roar!"

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff roared angrily, and its scales took on a metallic luster, much harder than before. The wind blades hit it continuously, causing sparks to fly, but did not cause any substantial damage to it.

"Steel-type skills, iron-bone barrier." Li Qing said softly.

This skill has a similar effect to Steelhead Rat's [Iron Arm], both of which can increase defense capabilities in a short period of time.

This Bone-crushing War Mastiff is actually quite powerful, possessing three skills: [Steel Teeth Crushing Strike], [Iron Collapse], and [Iron Bone Barrier], and possessing excellent proficiency in all of them.

If Yang Yue and Li Qing's pets fought against it, they would probably be defeated quickly.

Yang Yue couldn't help but mutter: "Poachers are better than us college students."

Li Qing said expressionlessly: "You are ranked 79th in the college rankings this month, which is in the lower middle level."

"Qingqing!" Yang Yue quickly reached out to cover Li Qing's mouth and coughed lightly, "You see through it but don't say it out loud."

The Yunhua Beastmaster Academy's Combat Department holds ranking competitions every month. The higher the ranking, the richer the reward.

Due to various reasons, Yang Yue's academic performance was not ideal, and was at a lower-middle level, or even if the "middle" was removed, it would not be a problem.

Li Qing's results were slightly better, just in the middle level.

Neither of them is considered an outstanding student, and there is a huge gap between them and Zhuang Jianbai, a talented beastmaster who is always ranked first.

Of course, there are only a handful of beastmasters of Zhuang Jianbai's level, and he is extremely competitive even in the entire Donghuang.

The strength of both of them is considered quite good among ordinary beastmasters.

But their opponents are poachers who dare to go deep into the Qinling Mountains to capture pet animals.

The battle continues.

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff emerged from the shadows under the tree, its natural scales already showing cracks, its messy fur stained with blood, and it was breathing heavily.

On the other hand, Coke's light brown hair gleamed in the afterglow of the setting sun, his toes skimmed over the dead branches and leaves on the ground, the air currents created by his walking in the wind raised up dust, his momentum grew stronger as time went on, and he looked straight ahead with a disdainful gaze.

"Ow!"

Coke decided it was time to end this farce. With a dog barking, three wind blades slashed out in a V-shape, carrying a sharp aura.

Compared to the Wind Hound, the Bone Crusher is larger and stronger, and has natural alloy scales covering its entire body, but this also means that its flexibility is far inferior to the former.

"Iron collapse." Fuya's thoughts surged.

"Roar!"

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff roared in anger, its dark eyes staring straight ahead, and its tail slammed into the ground like a sledgehammer, instantly causing the earth to tremble and raising countless pieces of rubble to cover its front.

The wind blades hit the gravel one after another, causing a cloud of smoke.

At this moment, the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff spread out its limbs, stepped on the ground, and suddenly charged forward. Its unstoppable figure rushed out of the smoke-filled area.

"not good."

Seeing the Bone-Breaking War Mastiff rushing towards Coke with great momentum, Yang Yue's expression changed slightly.

"Quack~"

But Runrun Duck has a different opinion on this.

After being on the farm for so long, it already understands three things.

First, there is no pet that the big sister cannot defeat.

Second, apart from the big sister, there is no pet that Coke cannot defeat.

Third, apart from Big Sister and Coke, there is no pet that he cannot defeat.

Sure enough, when Cola saw that the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff did not retreat but instead took the initiative to attack, he immediately grinned.

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff was within reach, its mouth opened wide, revealing sharp fangs, and it came towards Coke to bite.

Coke nimbly twisted his body to dodge, but this time the Bone Crusher seemed to be well prepared, and took the opportunity to swing its long tail, whistling in the wind, straight at Coke's waist and abdomen!
Coke's eyes focused, and he suddenly flipped into the air, with the breeze blowing all over his body, and he easily jumped onto a branch.

The long tail hit the tree trunk below, and the huge force caused the tree to shake violently, and wood chips fell down.

It's now!
Kele turned around at an astonishing speed, tensed his body, and rushed out with his agile body at the moment when three wind blades whizzed out!
The sharp wind blade first came into view, and the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff used [Iron Bone Barrier] to resist, which immediately caused a series of sparks.

But Coke's figure rushed out and hit the Bone-Breaking War Mastiff's body heavily, and an unreasonable force followed.

"Roar!"

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff roared angrily, but its body retreated uncontrollably, and its sharp claws stuck in the mud plowed two deep grooves in the ground.

For a long time,

The Bone-Crushing War Mastiff stopped, but its natural alloy scales were badly damaged and it was feeling unignorable pain in every part of its body.

It wailed, its shoulders collapsed, and then its entire body fell forward, breathing weakly and heavily: "Roar!"

After this round of confrontation, the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff's condition was already precarious.

"how come."

Upon seeing this scene, Fuya's pupils trembled, he could no longer keep a calm expression, and he became speechless.

It seemed that Coke and the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff had fought fiercely for several rounds, but after fighting for a long time, the latter never touched the former and was always being led by the other.

On the other hand, Coke's attacks were always effective and the effects were excellent, and he could easily force the enemy into a desperate situation.

too easy.

So relaxing.

Viper Fang couldn't accept this fact, but he had to examine the current situation.

Like the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff, he was already in a desperate situation.

His thoughts raced wildly as he quickly walked to the Bone-crushing War Mastiff and sat directly on its back.

"Roar!"

The Bone-Breaking War Mastiff, in a languid state and on the verge of collapse, used up its last bit of strength, struggled to stand up, moved its trembling limbs, and carried the Viper Fang to break through in the direction of Yang Yue and Li Qing.

Fuya had already planned an escape route. The pets in front of Yang Yue and Li Qing were in poor condition and were the easiest to break through.

"roar--!!!"

Even though it was on the verge of falling, the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff was as imposing as before. Its terrifying roar stirred up a strong wind, and its charge was unstoppable.

The huge body charged forward, with fierce eyes staring straight ahead.

"Get out of the way!" Yang Yue shouted.

She held the Cloud Fox and the Leaf Fox in her arms and dodged to the left.

Li Qing's arms were entangled by two small snakes and he dodged to the right.

"Ow"

Coke narrowed his eyes and watched the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff charge forward without launching any pursuit.

It slowly raised its head and looked at the layers of dense branches and leaves.

“DianDian——!!!”

A figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows of the branches and leaves, with endless brilliant lightning flashing from his body, exploding from top to bottom!
boom!
In his last moment of consciousness, Fuya watched helplessly as the endless electric light that seemed like the power of heaven devoured him. His body twitched continuously until he closed his eyes.

Their defeat began with the sneak attack of Den Den Flying Cat and ended with the sneak attack of Den Den Flying Cat.

Seeing the miserable state of the boss, the masked man and the sturdy man looked at each other, and suddenly felt that being ravaged by two skylarks seemed to be a good choice.

It's better than the boss whose body is still twitching unconsciously after falling into a coma.

So they accepted their fate.

"Dian Dian."

The electric flying cat gently waved its yellow thin wings and stared quietly at the unconscious Viper Fang, looking calm and indifferent.

At this moment, Dian Dian Flying Cat performed a great deed!
With my performance today, it's not too much to ask the farmer for a few more apples, right?
Yang Yue blinked: "Is it over like this?"

"Ah."

Li Qing looked around. Lying on the ground covered with traces of battle were Viper Fang and several pets covered in wounds.

Yang Yue followed Li Qing's gaze and couldn't help but mutter, "It seems we didn't help much."

Their only use was to help hold back the powerful monkeys and weaken the physical strength of these pets.

But when Yang Yue saw the almost unharmed Wind Hound, Runrun Duck, Electric Flying Cat and Falling Horned Beast, a guess suddenly came to his mind:
If they weren't there, would they be able to get rid of the poachers faster?
But no matter what, this long-lasting melee finally ended.

Yang Yue sat down on the ground and pounded his waist and abdomen with his hands: "I'm so tired." Pet battles consume a lot of energy and physical strength. The beastmaster must constantly give commands based on the situation on the field.

What's more, in a large-scale melee involving multiple pets, there are more factors to consider.

"Qingqing, what should we do now?"

Li Qing's eyes flickered, and he replied, "Wait for Consultant Chen to come."

Yang Yue suddenly smiled: "We could have easily dealt with them even without Consultant Chen coming. If Consultant Chen came in person."

"If Consultant Chen's Yanyun Falcon joins the battle"

"That"

Li Qing continued her words and said, "Then we can just stand by and cheer for them."

"Ouch!"

Coke shook his head and did not agree with this statement.

If the big sister takes action, then I won't be able to stand out!
"Quack~"

Run Run Duck did not forget the important matter. He jumped lightly to the ground, strode to the unconscious Viper Fang, stretched out his wings and searched his pocket.

But after searching for a long time, RunRun Duck still couldn't find the spirit fish.

"quack!"

Run Run Duck was furious and couldn't help but kick Wei Ya.

Yaya, where is my spirit fish?
Where was it hidden?
"Reached target range."

"Prepare to sneak in and find the Shadow Owl on sentry duty first."

Nie Li reiterated, and the voice was transmitted to the ears of every teammate through the headset.

For a moment, the only sound coming from the headset was the sound of heavy breathing.

Suddenly, a muffled voice sounded: "Captain, I want to go to the toilet."

"Me too."

"1."

Nie Li: “.”

After a long silence, she said, "Let's solve it right here."

"I'm not in a hurry."

"1."

Nie Li held his forehead helplessly, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Action."

As soon as the words fell, every member, wearing a black uniform and bringing their pets, approached the wooden house in the distance from all directions.

They advanced very slowly, and every time they moved forward, they would carefully explore the surroundings, trying to find the shadow owl on guard.

But after a long time, no one found any trace of Shadow Owl.

“I didn’t find it here.”

"Same as above."

"Same as above."

Nie Li looked up at the wooden house hidden deep inside, frowning slightly.

This is not good news.

Once discovered by Shadow Owl, it will certainly alert the enemy and a fierce fight is inevitable.

The principle of the investigation department's operations is to avoid fighting if possible.

Ruthless poachers may not care about casualties, but every member of the enforcement department has been carefully selected through layers of selection, and losses must be avoided as much as possible.

"Captain, I found something."

A voice suddenly came from the headset, but it soon stopped, as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling the throat.

Nie Li frowned and called the man's code name softly: "Wild Pig?"

No one responded.

"Wild boar?"

Nie Li realized something was wrong and called out again.

This time, the wild boar's voice sounded quietly: "Captain, I think you need to come and take a look."

"What did you find?" Nie Li became more alert and did not act rashly.

"Captain, the situation here is a bit complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. I think you should come and see it in person." The wild boar replied.

A teammate whispered, "Mountain Pig, Shadow Owl is still hiding in the dark."

“No.” The wild boar shook his head and looked at the Shadow Owl lying not far away. His expression was more complicated than ever before. “The Shadow Owl is lying in front of me.”

"?"

Nie Li pushed aside the dense bushes and walked forward with her tense body. However, the scene that came into her eyes made her freeze in her tracks—two girls were sitting in front of a big tree and chatting, with several pets lying beside them;
Two skylarks were pecking wildly at a thin man wearing a mask and a strong man;
The Wind Hound, Runrun Duck, and Falling Horned Beast were guarding several unconscious pets, including the Shadow Owl they had been searching for;

The tall and burly wild boar squatted on the ground, looking closely at a middle-aged man in a coat.

This was not quite the scene he had imagined.

Sensing Nie Li's arrival, the wild boar raised its head, showing a simple smile and poking Viper's head with its hand: "Captain, this is the target Viper."

At this moment, Nie Li's emotions were extremely complicated. She was silent for a long time, and said softly: "The danger is over, everyone come out."

Soon, the remaining three members emerged from the bushes.

"Captain, what is going on?" a female member asked in confusion.

Nie Li spread his hands and remained silent.

At this time, Yang Yue walked over with brisk steps: "Are you from the Investigation Department?"

When she was in the academy, she saw members of the Investigation Department coming to the academy for special training, and they were wearing black uniforms like this.

"Yes, I'm Nie Li, the captain of the 7th Squad of the 8th Branch of the Investigation Department." Nie Li nodded in response, and at the same time took out a document from his pocket, "This is my ID."

Yang Yue took a quick look and then pointed at the masked man, the sturdy man and Viper Fang one by one, smiling: "We beat down all three poachers."

"Ouch!"

Hearing this, Coke shouted in dissatisfaction.

Yang Yue coughed lightly and pointed at Coke and Runrun Duck: "To be more precise, it's their credit."

"Ow."

"quack."

Cola and Runrun Duck raised their heads high, with their tails curled upwards, looking very proud.

The Falling Horned Beast stood aside, motionless as a mountain.

"Dian Dian!"

The figure of the electric flying cat jumped out from the shadow corner, surprising Nie Li and others.

Why is there one hiding in the dark?
"What on earth is going on?" Nie Li frowned even deeper.

"Let me explain."

Li Qing stopped Yang Yue who was about to show off, and with a calm face, told the five members of the investigation team everything that had happened today.

The boar was stunned. "You mean, these pets defeated these three poachers without the command of the beastmaster?"

Although pets such as the Bone-Breaking War Mastiff have already fallen, their size and the traces of battle left behind still indicate that they are very powerful.

Especially the Bone-Crushing War Mastiff, with its blood-stained natural alloy scales and strong, explosive limbs, all of which are frightening.

"Ouch!"

Coke held his head high and wagged his tail.

I can suppress the villains without the master's command!
"I forgot to tell you." Li Qing added, "They are the pets raised by Consultant Chen."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then suddenly said:

"The misunderstanding is resolved."

"Is Consultant Chen training nearby?"

"So that's how it is, that's normal."

"I was wondering if this Wind Hound looked familiar. It turns out this is Consultant Chen's Wind Hound!!!"

The four of them discussed it, but only Nie Li remained calm: "Thank you both for your help, but if you encounter something like this in the future, you must put your own safety first and wait for us to resolve it."

Yang Yue's voice gradually became quieter: "I am also worried that these poachers will run away first."

Li Qing pointed to the wooden house not far away: "The pets are locked up there to prevent any further danger. We didn't go over to check the situation."

"The rest is up to you."

"Understood." Nie Li nodded gently, then looked at the four people, "Two of you come with me, and the remaining two will handle the scene."

"clear!"

Everyone responded in unison and immediately took action.

“Quack, quack!”

Seeing Nie Li and the others walking towards the wooden house, Run Run followed behind them happily.

"What are you doing?" The wild boar looked at Runrun Duck following behind him, and did not look down on it because it was a pet, and asked solemnly.

Run Run Duck patted his chest and said confidently: "Quack, quack, quack!"

They stole my spirit fish!
