Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 191 Avalanche! Emergency rescue!
“Yo yo!”

The little crescent deer that accidentally fell off the cliff let out a rapid cry, but the strong feeling of weightlessness made its whole body tense and a huge fear surged in its heart.

Even the Star-Moon Deer, which is good at climbing, can slip and fall.

But at this moment, a petite green figure came into sight at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, the sound of the wind whistling in the ears, and the downward momentum slowed down.

"Yo?"

Little Xingyuelu looked up in a daze and was met with a pair of deep blue eyes.

This is the strange little deer that sneaked into their group and got free food and water.

This little deer is even smaller than the little crescent deer. It is covered with emerald and white fur and has a slender and elegant body.

The green deer didn't have wings, but it hovered steadily in the air, gently biting the little star-moon deer's tail with its mouth and simply lifting it up.

Not only did the little moon deer not fall, but it rose higher and higher, getting farther and farther away from the ground.

It was no longer afraid. It opened its eyes wide, sometimes looking at the snowy ground, and sometimes staring at the green deer nearby.

This is the first time it has seen a flying deer.

Mom said they were deer, and no matter what kind of deer they were, they were not born to fly.

Mom is lying!
This little deer can fly!
After an unknown amount of time, the little Star Moon Deer landed back on the cliff and returned to the embrace of its tribe.

"Hooho~"

“Yo yo!”

The Star-Moon Deer were excited about the little Star-Moon Deer's escape from death, but their eyes were on the green deer.

Saving the little crescent deer didn't seem to be a difficult task for the green deer. It landed lightly on the ground, its soft emerald fur not looking messy, and its antlers like forked branches resting on its head.

Facing a pair of surprised or grateful eyes, the green deer proudly raised its head, shook its short tail, and made a childish call: "Yo~"

The leader of the Star-Moon Deer decided not to bother with the issue of this green deer eating and drinking for free.

From now on, just treat it as a member of the tribe.

"Chirp~"

Sparks swooped over, and the orange-yellow figure swept past at high speed. The broad wings brought a strong sense of oppression, making the newly born little Star-Moon Deer look frightened and quickly hide under the protection of the adult Star-Moon Deer.

“Yo!”

The green deer stepped forward, its antlers glowing green, veins of liquid light flowing beneath its fur.

"roar~"

The leader of the Star-Moon Deer shook his head, stood in front of the green deer, and then watched the sparks fall in front of him.

“Yo yo!”

The little moon deer, which had stayed on the farm for a night, excitedly rushed to Sparks and told them about how it successfully found its tribe.

Sparks was not interested in this, but she listened to Little Star Moon Deer patiently.

"Chirp~"

Sparks looked at the Star-Moon Deer leader and explained his purpose.

"Roar!"

Just as Chen Yuan guessed, the Star-Moon Deer leader did not reject Sparks' request and agreed to it immediately.

At Crescent Moon Lake and in the ranger's cabin, Chen Yuan had already formed a deep friendship with the Crescent Moon Deer herd.

What's more, he traveled thousands of miles to help the little moon deer find its tribe.

The Star-Moon Deer tribe must acknowledge this kindness.

“Roar, roar, roar!”

The Star-Moon Deer leader raised his head and roared, his eyes deep, and the star patterns all over his body glowed faintly.

All the Star-Moon Deer turned around and prepared to follow Sparks to rescue Chen Yuan and his group who were trapped in the blizzard.

Sparks, however, took a deep look at the green deer that had blended in with them.

It had a strong feeling that its owner would be interested in this flying green deer.

At the same moment,

"Advisor Chen, your Yanyun Falcon hasn't come back yet." Zhang Yu sat on the ground, hugged his knees, and stared at the snow outside the cave in boredom.

In this kind of environment, other people can still summon their pets to keep in touch with each other, but he, an ordinary person, has nothing to do and has to find someone to chat with.

Chen Yuan looked at the time. It was nearly two hours since Sparks set out.

At the speed of sparks, they have already flown very far.

"It's almost there." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Professor Song took over the topic: "You must be patient when doing scientific research, and the same is true for doing things."

"Teacher, I understand the truth, but it's really boring." Zhang Yu sighed, "I should have brought a book earlier."

Chen Wenhao waved his phone and said, "Brother, didn't you download the documents before entering the mountain?"

Zhang Yu's eyes widened: "Can it be like this?"

"I want to see too!"

After saying that, he squeezed next to Chen Wenhao and read together those boring texts that Chen Yuan found obscure and difficult to understand at a glance.

Professor Song snorted: "I wish you could be this serious in class."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan: "Advisor Chen, I heard from Wen Hao that you found a Snow Cloud Wolf that advanced on its own?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, that Snow Cloud Wolf was originally of elite quality, but suddenly one day it became of leadership quality."

"I can confirm that no beastmaster was involved."

Professor Song nodded slightly: "This situation is not an isolated case. There have been many similar cases."

“This is very valuable for research.”

"If we can crack other ways of advancement, it will have a huge impact on all beastmasters."

Chen Yuan agreed with this deeply.

boom!
At this moment, a muffled sound came from outside the cave, like the crisp cracking of bones when a giant beast turned over.

Everyone looked outside the cave at the same time, and there was still a vast scene of heavy snow.

"Ow!"

The tips of Coke's ears suddenly stood up, a vigilant growl rolled out of his throat, and his body subconsciously tensed up.

Chen Yuan immediately realized something was wrong: "Be careful."

As a mature beastmaster, he never ignores the reminders of his pet.

The muffled drum-like sound was heard again in the distance, and the rock wall began to shake off the years of dust.

On the cliff, a group of fluttering frost-wing butterflies were the first to notice something was wrong. The ice crystal patterns on their thin wings flickered rapidly, and the butterflies scattered and rose like silver flakes.

The next moment, the entire layer of snow covering the cliff collapsed along the ridge like a plasterboard with its backbone removed.

Boom!
The first avalanche was not a blanket of white, but a torrent of countless angular ice blades and snow blocks.

They hit the protruding rocks and exploded into shotgun shells. Fist-sized hailstones mixed with broken snow rushed down with a shrieking sound.

The light that penetrated the cave was swallowed up inch by inch by the snow waves. When the last ray of light was extinguished, the pale faces of everyone were reflected on the screen of Chen Wenhao's mobile phone.

"It's an avalanche." someone said.

But no one responded.

The roar of the avalanche resonated and amplified in the cave, as if a terrifying monster was roaring right at your eardrums.

The tip of the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat's tail stood up, and it curled up in Jiang Wenning's arms, its heart beating as fast as a drum under its silver fur.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Jiang Wenning tensed his body and comforted her softly.

"Ouch!"

Not only was Cola not afraid, he even barked at the collapsing snow.

Chen Yuan held the dog's head and said unhappily, "Don't shout."

Chen Yuan was very close to the cave entrance, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dark. He peeked outside through the crack - the snow waves were like a mad white dragon, easily crushing a pine log that three people could hug together, and rushed to the foot of the mountain with unstoppable momentum.

A wind chime bird was swept up in the snow waves and tried to use the wind to rise higher, but the low-temperature turbulence caused by the avalanche froze its wings, and in an instant it fell into the vast sea of snow like a kite with a broken string.

A cute snow squirrel jumped out of a tree hole, curled up its body, rolled into a fur ball and fled down the slope, but was swallowed up by the snow waves behind.

Chen Yuan watched the scenes in silence.

Avalanches are extremely rare in the Qinling Mountains, and they never expected to encounter one.

Fortunately, they stayed in the cave early to avoid the blizzard and thus escaped the disaster.

Otherwise, even with the help of a pet, there is little hope of survival.

When the last wave of snow rolled over the cave entrance, time seemed to be frozen.

The restless growls of the pets, the dripping sound of water seeping from the cracks in the rocks, and even the sound of breathing were all taken away, leaving only the dead silence of snow and dust outside the cave.

"Human beings are so insignificant in front of nature." Chen Wenhao sighed.

"Yes." Professor Song adjusted his glasses, his eyes deep, "So we should always be in awe of nature."

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

If the blazing flames from the sparks can melt the snow in an instant, and if the strong winds from the Coke can blow away the snow waves, can we avoid avalanches?
They are indeed still too weak.

Yao Li did not have so many emotions. He quickly came to the cave entrance and squinted his eyes to look outside: "The good news is that the cave entrance is not blocked. We can get out."

After a pause, he grinned and said, "The bad news is that the road ahead will be even more difficult."

He asked again: "Advisor Chen, has your Yanyun Falcon returned?"

Chen Yuan carefully sensed the location of the spark and showed a happy expression: "It's getting closer and closer to me."

But before waiting for the spark to return, there is one very important thing waiting for them to do.

Chen Yuan glanced at everyone, his face serious: "I saw many pets buried under the snow waves."

He had just taken a quick glance and saw several pets buried under the snow.

It can be seen from this that most of the pets on this mountain could not escape the disaster.

"I think."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ran put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the cave with the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape without looking back. His arrogant voice rang in everyone's ears: "Saving pets is such a fun thing, don't compete with me."

Chen Yuan smiled.

After walking out of the cave, Chen Yuan discovered that the snow was much lighter than before. There was no such vast scene of heavy snow as before, and there were also rays of sunlight piercing through the thick clouds.

This is good news.

But the avalanche had a profound impact on the entire mountain, with a thick layer of snow piling up on the ground under the pressure of snow waves.

It is not easy to find the pets buried under the snow.

"Cola, it all depends on you this time." Chen Yuan looked at Coke.

"Ouch!"

Coke held his head high and his eyes were filled with confidence.

When it comes to sense of smell, it ranks among the best among all canine pets.

Crouching his body, getting close to the snow, and wagging his tail, Cola concentrated on searching for the poor pet that was buried.

Others sent out their pets. Although their sense of smell was not as sharp as Coke's, they each had their own abilities.

Although the scientific research team came for the World Tree, they were willing to stop for the life that was about to wither.

"Ouch!"

After a while, Coke found the first buried pet.

A strong wind suddenly blew up around me, rolling up the accumulated snow, and inside it lay a wind chime bird, its body covered with snow particles and its wings frozen stiff. The wind chime bird has a slender body, covered with off-white feathers, and has broad and soft wings.

Chen Yuan stretched out his right hand, and the Twin Flower Concubine quickly handed him a petal.

Carefully pry open the beak of the wind chime bird and feed it a petal.

In a short while, the windchime bird regained its vitality, pulled its wings out of the snow, and flew high into the sky.

After circling in the air for a few times, it landed on the ground again, stretched out its neck, and rubbed Chen Yuan's palm affectionately with its head.

"Ouch!"

Coke yelled in dissatisfaction.

It was me who discovered you!
It was me who removed the snow!
Chen Yuan patted Coke's head and said with a smile: "Of course you are a great hero. Let's keep working hard, Coke."

“Now is the time to race against time.”

There was no time to be excited about the rescued wind chimebird, Chen Yuan and Coke had to hurry to rescue other pets.

Time passed slowly, and with everyone's concerted efforts, more and more pets were rescued.

They first expressed their gratitude, and then dragged their tired bodies to join the rescue operation.

"Thanks a lot."

Chen Yuan tapped the twin concubines’ heads gently.

As a healing pet, the little guy was exhausted, with only a few petals left in his hands.

Fortunately, there were healing pets present, otherwise it would be difficult for the Twin Flower Concubines alone to heal so many injured pets.

"Zizi~"

A snow squirrel rescued by Lu Ran brought a bunch of pine cones from somewhere, put them in front of Lu Ran, and blinked its round eyes.

Lu Ran put his left hand in his pocket, and played with his dark red hair with his right hand, with a big grin on his face: "I didn't rescue you just to thank you."

"Zizi~"

The snow squirrel didn't quite understand what Lu Ran said and just stared at him with expectant eyes.

Lu Ran sighed helplessly, squatted down, picked up two pine cones, and threw them to the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape: "Please help me peel them."

The Explosive Flame Fighting Ape was about to punch the pine cone, but Lu Ran quickly stopped him: "Forget it, let me do it."

After fiddling with it for a while, Lu Ran peeled the pine cone, swallowed one, and threw the other to the Explosive Fighting Ape.

After a while, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, I like it very much."

"Zizzizi~"

The eddy squirrel hopped away.

Lu Ran watched the snow squirrel leave and said with emotion: "This little guy is quite polite."

"More polite than you." He glanced at the Explosive Fighting Ape.

The Explosive Fighting Ape swung his fist, which was emitting flames.

Lu Ran's expression suddenly became serious: "Okay, don't waste time, continue digging snow."

A Ningbing fox rescued by Jiang Wenning curled up in her arms, its petite body trembling constantly, its pupils filled with fear.

"Okay, okay, I'm not afraid anymore." Jiang Wenning gently stroked the body of Ningbinghu, and the latter's fluffy tail inadvertently wrapped around her arm.

"Meow"

The Ice Crystal Phantom Cat instantly cast a wary look.

Not all wild pets are wary of humans. Some pets very much want to escape from their wandering lives and live a comfortable life with humans without having to worry about food and drink.

In the view of the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat, this Ice Fox had this idea.

"Bah"

Suddenly, Ningbing Fox looked in a certain direction, its pupils trembled, its body shook violently, and its cry was full of fear.

"Meow."

A hint of mockery flashed in the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat's eyes.

However, the next moment, Jiang Wenning looked solemnly at the back of the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat: "Nuomi, behind you."

"Meow?"

The Ice Crystal Phantom Cat turned around and saw a tall figure.

This is an upright humanoid pet beast, with blue-black scaly ice armor covering its skeleton and ice cone-shaped bone spurs extending from its joints.

A row of jagged ice ridges rise up from its back, standing in layers like the back of a stegosaurus, and the edge of each ice ridge glows with a cold light.

Its arms were very long, almost reaching the ground, and its slightly ferocious face made it no wonder that the Ningbing Fox let out a frightened cry.

Jiang Wenning said in a deep voice: "Ice Ridge Rock Beast."

The Ice Ridge Rock Beast is an ice-attributed pet beast, known for its brutality and its tendency to bully the weak.

If the Snow Cloud Wolf is synonymous with cunning, the Ice Ridge Rock Beast is synonymous with ferocity.

She glanced around and suddenly realized that there was not only this ice-backed rock beast in front of her. In every corner, ice-backed rock beasts appeared quietly and surrounded everyone.

Chen Yuan also discovered this situation.

They were busy with rescue operations and thus ignored the quiet approach of the group of ice-ridged rock beasts.

Being surrounded by a group of ice-ridged rock beasts is not good news.

They shouldn't be bored enough to come and play with me and others.

Lu Ran rolled up his sleeves, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, and he couldn't wait to say: "I'll do it, I'll do it, don't fight with me!"

There had been almost no fighting along the way, and Lu Ran had been feeling pent up for a long time.

He wants to fight, fight!
The sudden attack by this group of ice-ridged rock beasts was indeed unexpected, but the beastmasters present were all extremely powerful.

However, the aura emitted by this group of ice-ridged rock beasts is obviously quite strong.

From the moment they entered the mysterious forest, everyone discovered one thing - the grade and strength of the pets here were much higher than those outside.

Elite-quality pets are very common, and even a commanding-quality pet will appear from time to time.

Professor Song explained: "The concentration of spiritual energy here is higher than outside, so the pets are likely to be born with a higher grade, and their strength will improve faster."

Facing this group of ice-ridged rock beasts that were clearly ill-intentioned and ready to attack, Chen Yuan took a half step forward and said in a deep voice: "Let me do it."

The rescue operation is still going on. Every second of delay will put the pets buried underneath in greater danger.

This group of ice-ridged rock beasts must be eliminated as quickly as possible.

Lu Ran strode forward: "Teacher Chen, your Flame Cloud Falcon is not here, let's get the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape."

"We are experts in fighting against ice-type pets."

"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded.

It's always good to have one more person to help.

What's more, the Explosive Fighting Ape can naturally restrain this group of Ice-Backed Rock Beasts.

Let the others continue the rescue, while Chen Yuan and Lu Ran concentrate on dealing with this group of ice-ridged rock beasts.

"Advisor Chen, how do we distribute them?" Lu Ran stared at the group of ice-ridged rock beasts, one hand in his pocket, smiling arrogantly.

"The biggest one is for you. It should be the leader. The rest are for Coke."

"Cola is better at group attacks." Chen Yuan said.

The largest ice-ridged rock beast stood in the middle, with a ferocious face, and let out a deep roar: "Roar!"

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded readily.

After a brief pause, he curled his lips and said, "Teacher Chen, your Yanyun Falcon is not here. I will come to help you after I get rid of this leader."

"Ouch!"

Coke let out a cry of dissatisfaction.

So what if the big sister is not here!
I can also suppress these ice-ridged rock beasts!
"Go ahead, Explosive Flame Fighting Ape." Lu Ran said in a stern voice, his eyes instantly becoming sharp, and a thought immediately appeared in the mind of the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape, "Fiery Fist Combo!"

"Roar!"

The Explosive Flame Fighting Ape strode forward, with his fists wrapped in a layer of flames, and launched continuous attacks on the Ice-Backed Rock Beast leader.

Flames surged, sparks fell, and the scorching temperature forced the Ice Ridge Rock Beast leader to dodge continuously.

The Explosive Fighting Ape took advantage of the victory and firmly suppressed the Ice Ridge Rock Beast leader with its attribute advantage.

But the Ice-Backed Rock Beast is covered with scaly ice armor, and it is not easy for the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape to defeat it in a short time.

"Ho ho ho!"

The rest of the ice-ridged rock beasts tried to relieve the pressure for their leader, but Coke suddenly jumped out, his light brown hair fluttering, and he suddenly roared, drawing the attention of the group of ice-ridged rock beasts to himself.

One of the ice-ridged rock beasts rolled over the snow with its paws and trampled down. The next moment, ice spikes burst out from the ground and stabbed at Coke like fangs.

Without Chen Yuan's command, Coke leaped into the air, and a strong wind suddenly blew around him, crushing the attacking ice spikes into ashes.

Before the snow dust had dispersed, another ice-ridged rock beast took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, smashing down on its head with its sharp ice claws wrapped in frost!
Kele was already alert, and as he turned to dodge, several materialized wind blades gathered around him and exploded in an instant!
Clang Clang!
The wind blade hit the ice-ridged rock beast right on the knee, and a series of sparks flew out of its ice armor. The ice-ridged rock beast let out an angry howl, and the pain from its knee spread throughout its body in an instant.

"Roar!"

The next moment, the ice-ridged rock beast knelt on one knee, its head drooping weakly.

Coke ignored the ice-ridged rock beast altogether. He pushed off the ground with all four legs, and turned into a shadow, scuttling along the ground.

A strong wind became stronger as it moved at high speed, blowing up snow dust, which flew all over the sky and then fell on the ice-ridged rock beasts.

The moment their vision was obscured, strong winds blew in from all directions, squeezing the group of ice-ridged rock beasts towards the center.

"Roar!"

An ice-ridged rock beast tried to struggle, but the strong wind slapped its body violently. With a "puff puff puff" sound, its struggle became weaker and weaker until it stopped resisting.

In terms of single combat, Coke's strength is not particularly outstanding. Fortunately, he made up for this disadvantage after mastering [Air Vortex Assault].

When it comes to group attacks, Coke definitely has the say.

[Wind Surge] can effectively control multiple pets in an instant, and then
"The strongest wind blade!" Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he was not prepared to get entangled with this group of ice-ridged rock beasts.

"Ouch!"

As his strength grew, his proficiency in [Wind Blade] increased, and Coke could already condense dozens of wind blades in one breath.

In an instant, dozens of crescent-shaped wind blades shot out, whistling in the wind and carrying a sharp aura.

Clang Clang!
bang bang bang!
Fierce collision sounds followed, and the ice-ridged rock beasts were hit by wind blades before they could resist. Even the thick ice armor could not withstand the sharp wind blades and was directly torn into cracks.

Boom!
The sounds of falling to the ground rang out one after another, and the ice-ridged rock beasts collapsed to the ground one after another.

However, there was still one ice-ridged rock beast that was still alive, and even though its ice armor was broken, it did not fall to the ground.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Air Vortex Attack."

boom!
A sonic boom suddenly sounded, and the moment Coke rushed out, blue sparks burst out in the middle. Finally, the ice-ridged rock beast opened its eyes wide and stared blankly in front of it.

"Ow~"

Coke, who was nearby, grinned at it.

The next moment, the Ice Ridge Rock Beast belatedly felt a sharp pain rising in its abdomen, and its body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Boom!
The last ice-ridged rock beast also fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time, the Explosive Fighting Ape punched the Ice Ridge Rock Beast leader away.

Seeing the Ice Ridge Rock Beast leader lying on the ground and unable to get up, Lu Ran smiled widely, lifted his dark red bangs, turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan: "Teacher Chen, I'm done here."

"Need help"

Before he could even utter the word "busy", Lu Ran saw a group of ice-ridged rock beasts lying on the ground, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Is there anything wrong?" Chen Yuan asked.
