Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 192 It’s decided to be you, Xingyuelu!

"Is there anything wrong?" Chen Yuan asked.

Lu Ran pretended not to hear this, looked away stiffly, and muttered in a low voice something incomprehensible like "How come Consultant Chen is so fast?" and "The Condensed Wind Hound is so outrageous."

After dealing with this group of ice-ridged rock beasts, Chen Yuan and Lu Ran joined the rescue operation again.

I don't know how long I've been busy.

Coke and his group of pets could no longer find the pets buried under the snow, and Chen Yuan and his group had already collapsed from exhaustion.

Even with the help of pets, it is not easy to rescue these pets from the thick snow.

What's more, they don't have the right tools.

"I'm usually not this tired even during training." Lu Ran gasped for breath, lying on the snow with his face up, watching the white clouds drifting away.

The snow squirrel came back to his side, tilted its head and stared at him for a while, then made a cute sound: "Zizi~"

"What are you going to do?" Lu Ran tilted his head.

The eddy squirrel brought out a bunch of pine cones from the back and pushed them forward.

Lu Ran laughed helplessly: "You keep it for the winter. I'm not a squirrel."

"Zizi~"

The edelweiss squirrel lowered its head in grievance, and its large comma-shaped tail hung down limply.

Lu Ran was even more helpless. He took two pine cones at random and waved at the snow squirrel: "Two is enough. I don't eat much."

"You keep the rest for yourself."

"Zizzizi."

The eddy squirrel nodded its head, then picked up the pile of pine cones and hopped away.

Lu Ran supported himself on the ground with his arms, holding the back of his head with both hands, and glanced at the Explosive Ape from the side, grinning: "You know what, doing this kind of thing is quite fulfilling."

“Although it’s not as interesting as fighting.”

“Roar!” The Explosive Fighting Ape nodded.

The Ningbing Fox was still curled up in Jiang Wenning's arms, making tender calls from time to time.

Jiang Wenning held his chin with one hand and whispered to himself, "Do you want a contract?"

The Ice Crystal Phantom Cat lay on Jiang Wen Ning's shoulder, looking down at the Ice Fox from above, with a wisdom gleaming in its eyes that saw through everything.

It turned out that his own beastmaster was fascinated by this ice fox.

But Jiang Wenning was a little entangled: "But Ning Binghu is too..."

The Ningbing Fox did not meet her expectations for a second pet.

In her plan, the second pet should be as tall and mighty as the Winter Bear, with excellent resistance to attacks, which can bring her more tactical options.

Winter Bear, an ice-type pet, lives in colder areas at higher latitudes.

If it is the Ice Fox, its overall strength is not that high, and its abilities overlap with those of the Ice Crystal Cat in many aspects.

The most important thing is that she already has a very cute little guy, Nuomi.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiang Wenning quickly confirmed his idea. He looked at Ning Binghu with an apologetic look and said softly, "I'm sorry, little guy. I don't have any idea of contracting a pet for the time being."

"You are a very good pet and deserve a better beastmaster."

"Hey~"

Ningbinghu's eyes were misty and her voice was sobbing and aggrieved, like a young lady who was abandoned by a heartless man.

But this cannot shake Jiang Wenning's thoughts.

In her opinion, contracting a pet is a very, very important thing. The beastmaster and the pet must like each other and be determined to grow together and move forward together.

If you choose a pet with the idea of "making do with it", there is a high possibility that you will abandon it in the future.

She doesn't want this.

Chen Wenhao observed the interaction between Jiang Wenning and Ningbinghu, thoughts flashing through his eyes, and suddenly heard a teasing voice in his ear: "Why? Want to contract your own pet?"

Collecting his thoughts, Chen Wenhao looked at his brother and replied seriously, "No, I'm thinking about the relationship between the color of Ningbing Fox's fur and its strength."

What a mess?
Chen Yuan's mouth twitched, and he tried to change the subject: "I'm serious, you've been a beastmaster for a while, it's time to contract a pet."

"I'll support you anyway."

Chen Wenhao's expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his voice: "Brother, I was just joking that day. Keep your money for yourself. There are a lot of pets on the farm that need you to raise them."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Besides, I'm very busy every day, how can I have time to take care of my pet?"

Chen Yuan's eyes widened: "Are you underestimating me as a consultant? I can support a few more pets."

"If you have a lot of money, you should keep it well." Chen Wenhao smiled.

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't discuss it with you. I'll just ask you directly about your needs."

"If you had a pet, what would you most like it to do?"

Chen Wenhao looked thoughtful, and after a long while he replied, "Help me with my scientific research tasks."

Professor Song, who was not far away, nodded silently.

Zhang Yu has a different idea: "If I have a pet, I hope it is a cat girl who can take care of my daily life, preferably one that can talk and wear clothes."

"Hey hey hey."

Professor Song became more determined to let Zhang Yu study spiritual plants.

If such a disciple stays, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Chen Yuan patted his brother on the shoulder and said with emotion: "The spirit of scientific research is precious. I will help you keep an eye out for such a pet."

Yao Li leaned against a leaning pine tree, munching on a piece of bread, and said slowly: "Of course there is such a pet."

"But they are all spiritual, extremely rare at the moment, and extremely expensive to sell for."

Chen Yuan looked at Yao Li: "Brother Yao, why do I feel like you know a little bit about everything?"

The strength and knowledge displayed by Yao Li were much stronger than the members of the Investigation Department that Chen Yuan had met before.

Even Captain Nie Li may not be as good as him.

As expected, he is a member of the detective department from the Magic City.

Yao Li paused, scratched his hair, and laughed, "Hahaha, I usually like to read miscellaneous books. I understand a lot of things, but I'm not proficient in them."

Simply put, a jack of all trades, master of none.

Professor Song suddenly said, "No need to be so troublesome."

He looked at Chen Wenhao with eyes full of admiration and optimism: "I will apply for a place for you when I go back, and the college will give you a pet that will help with your academic research."

Chen Wenhao hesitated: "Teacher, I..."

Professor Song waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me anything. Just go back and study hard."

"Yes!" Chen Wenhao nodded heavily.

As everyone chatted and discussed, the rescued pets gradually recovered and circled around everyone to express their gratitude.

Some of them looked for stored food like eddy squirrels, and some of them stuck to everyone.

Take Zhang Yu for example. He rescued a huge cold pig, but at this moment he was being pressed down by the cold pig. The pig's thick lips kissed his cheek, and the sticky saliva made Zhang Yu's face stiffen: "No, no!"

Instead of the cat girl he had imagined, there was a warm and enthusiastic pig.

Chen Yuan stroked his chin and sighed softly, "Sure enough, pig pets naturally prefer people with the surname Zhang."

This is true for Zhang Hao and Zhang Yu as well.

"Pet animals are very smart creatures." Professor Song started to talk temporarily. "If you are good to it, it will naturally feel your kindness and will be good to you in return."

"This scene before our eyes is exactly what we are actively pursuing: harmonious coexistence between humans and pets." While everyone was chatting and discussing, a very penetrating roar suddenly came from the sky. Chen Yuan looked up and a smile appeared on his face.

The spark is back.

Several hours had passed since the spark left and it finally returned to itself.

Did it find the group of star-moon deer?
Before the sparks fell to the ground, there were sudden rhythmic sounds of running in the distance. Looking up, I saw a group of Star-Moon Deer galloping towards me.

Snow dust like silver flakes flew up from the tips of their hooves, and the horns of each Star-Moon Deer glowed like broken diamonds. With every leap, footprints bloomed in the snow like a falling river of stars.

The little crescent deer clung to the side of its mother, its tail sweeping across the snow, leaving behind streams of stardust like fireflies.

As the cold wind blew, the halo emitted by the deer's antlers intertwined with the snow to form a web, and with the glowing star pattern on its surface, it looked like an inverted Milky Way.

"So beautiful." Jiang Wenning's eyes sparkled.

"So strong." Lu Ran's gaze fell on the Star-Moon Deer leader.

"So steady." Chen Wenhao observed the stable posture of the Star-Moon Deer as they ran on the snow.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~"

Sparks fell beside Chen Yuan and raised his head slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Yuan said in a gentle voice.

Searching for a group of unknown Star-Moon Deer in the heavy snow is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Just thinking about it will make you realize how difficult it is.

Fortunately, it is Spark, the Spark that Chen Yuan trusts the most.

"Ouch."

Looking at the pampered big sister, Kele's eyes were full of envy.

It's another day when the big sister steals the show.

Suddenly, a gentle big hand stroked his head. Coke looked up in a daze and met the gentle gaze of his owner.

"Your performance today was great, go back and drink another bottle of Coke."

"Ouch!"

Coke doesn't care about Coke, Coke only wants the praise from his master.

The crescent deer were getting closer and closer, but were met with a lot of curious stares. They seemed a little anxious, and the adult deer protected the fawns in the middle.

For a moment, Chen Yuan and others were separated from the Star-Moon Deer by a distance, and no one stepped forward.

“Yo yo!”

Until the little Crescent Deer that had been a visitor to the farm before, which was very brave, broke out of the herd, stepped on the snow, and rushed to Chen Yuan.

Compared to the last time we saw it, its size has grown a lot and now meets the requirements for riding.

But Chen Yuan already has his own mount and pet.

"Congratulations, little one, you're successfully reunited." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Yoyo~"

There was a glimmer of excitement in the little Star Moon Deer's eyes. It walked around Chen Yuan several times, then suddenly lowered its head and body, as if to express its gratitude.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the leader of the Star-Moon Deer raised his head and let out a long howl, as if a mysterious switch had been turned on. The rest of the Star-Moon Deer also raised their heads and let out long howls.

“Roar, roar, roar!”

“Yo yo yo!”

Professor Song said with emotion: "It seems that Consultant Chen has done a very remarkable thing."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "We just met a few times, and then rescued two unlucky deer."

At this moment, Chen Wenhao keenly noticed the green deer in the middle of the herd and frowned slightly: "Teacher, what kind of pet is that?"

Professor Song looked in the direction of the voice and then shook his head: "I don't know."

“Even the teacher doesn’t know.” Chen Wenhao murmured in a low voice.

Professor Song smiled and said, "Your teacher is not omniscient and omnipotent. There are many pets that you don't know about."

After a brief pause, he carefully examined the green deer and said, "Looking at its appearance, it should be a wood-type deer pet."

Chen Yuan took a quick look and then looked away.

This green fawn is smaller than a young Star-Moon Deer. Its emerald and white fur looks very textured, but its strength is obviously very ordinary.

"Isn't it a healing pet like the Twin Flower Concubines?"

Chen Yuan muttered to himself, and suddenly he found that the twin concubines were staring at the green deer with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

This was the first time that Chen Yuan saw the twin flower concubines being so curious about other pets.

In the past, other pets stared at it with this look.

Chen Yuan felt inexplicably nervous, and stretched out his hand to cover the twin concubines' eyes, and coughed softly: "Don't keep staring at me, it's impolite."

"Yinyin~"

The twin flower concubine nodded obediently, but her eyes unconsciously fell on the green deer.

Sensing the reaction of the twin concubines, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at the green deer again with a scrutinizing gaze, and soon muttered: "It looks quite ordinary."

"Chirp~"

Suddenly, Sparks told Chen Yuan what he had seen and heard before through telepathy.

Chen Yuan was stunned.

what?
Can this green deer fly?
Chen Yuan subconsciously chose not to believe it, but Sparks' eyes were extremely sincere and it would not lie.

So Chen Yuan fell silent.

This green deer has no wings, how can it fly?
Chen Yuan patted his head and laughed softly: "What a misconception."

This is a supernatural world, why should he insist on the idea that you need wings to fly?
This green deer may not be as ordinary as it seems.

But this was not the time to dwell on this. The sky was growing darker and they had already wasted most of the day because of the blizzard and avalanche. It was time to set off as soon as possible and find a suitable campsite.

"I'll leave it to you from now on." Chen Yuan looked at the leader of the Star-Moon Deer.

"Roar~" The leader of the Star-Moon Deer nodded slightly, and then one by one the adult Star-Moon Deer approached the crowd and crouched down.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but have a thought:
If we take this group of Star-Moon Deer to Xuanhe Village and provide riding services to foreign tourists and animal trainers, business will probably be very hot.

But the small Xuanhe Village cannot trap the Star-Moon Deer, as they are born to run in the boundless mountains and fields.

"Advisor Chen, it won't make me fall, will it?" Looking at the Star-Moon Deer so close, Zhang Yu swallowed his saliva, obviously nervous.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "As long as you don't break its antlers and pull its hair, it shouldn't be a problem."

While Zhang Yu was studying the possibility of the Star-Moon Deer throwing him down, Jiang Wenning had already established a good relationship with a Star-Moon Deer through a piece of biscuit, and then he flipped over and jumped onto the latter's back.

Although the Star-Moon Deer is not as tall as the Fallen Horned Beast, it has a broad back and there is no discomfort when sitting on it.

The others took out the snacks they had brought with them to please the Star-Moon Deer.

Lu Ran has a red-hoofed colt, so he doesn't need to join in this flattering campaign.

Professor Song was still sitting on the Falling Horned Beast, which was safer than the Star-Moon Deer.

Chen Yuan began to choose his favorite Star-Moon Deer.

Finally, his eyes fell on the little Xingyuelu: "It's decided to be you!"

But before riding away on the Star-Moon Deer, Chen Yuan decided to reach out and touch the green deer to see what was so special about it.
Chen Yuan walked quickly to the green deer, with the brightest smile on his face, and stretched out his right hand: "I'll just touch it."

"Just touch it."
