Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 198 Unexpected Plot Developments

Like Qingbo, there are also the Star-Moon Deer who remain in this forest.

Even though the hateful Snow Cloud Wolves have been dealt with, the Star-Moon Deer have become accustomed to living in this forest. They are familiar with every tree and blade of grass here and are unwilling to go back.

In the words of Little Star Moon Deer, the air here is sweeter than outside.

Chen Yuan chose to respect their decision.

"Then we'll see you next time." Chen Yuan waved to the Star-Moon Deer.

Although the time everyone spent with the Star-Moon Deer was short, they developed a deep bond with them. They waved goodbye and left the remaining food for them.

Everyone turned around, and the Star-Moon Deer looked at their backs.

"Yo"

Qingpo stared at Chen Yuan's back, lowered her eyes, and let out a lost whimper.

Chen Yuan looked back and smiled: "I told you, I live in this mountain."

"always there."

“Yo yo!”

Qingbo raised his head, his deep blue eyes sparkled like the deep Milky Way.

"Brother, are you okay?"

After saying goodbye to Qingpo, Chen Wenhao saw that Chen Yuan had not spoken for a long time, and looked at him with a slightly worried look.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Are you really alright?"

"It's okay."

Chen Wenhao looked at Chen Yuan seriously, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I know you like Qingbai very much, but the fact is that it can't leave this forest."

"Since this is the case, we can only try to accept this fact."

Chen Yuan smiled helplessly: "Actually, I understand this truth, but..."

No one could accept the fact that they had to watch a pet of the Sun-quality slip away.

Forget it, having this little twin concubine is enough for me.

Turning his head, he saw the twin concubines looking at him with a sweet smile.

Chen Yuan tapped the twin concubines' heads and smiled: "It seems that you will need to work hard next."

The spiritual plants on the farm cannot do without the catalysis of the twin flower concubines for the time being.

Fortunately, we have the help of the Wood Rat family. I just wonder how these little guys are doing on the farm now?
Shouldn't he have been bullied by the electric flying cat?
"Ow~"

Cola jumped around Chen Yuan, and its cheerful big tail occasionally touched his thighs, like a blooming dandelion.

"Chirp~"

Sparks flew high in the air, occasionally emitting extremely penetrating hissing sounds.

The hissing carries a sense of oppression, which will make nearby wild pets feel extremely dangerous and flee in all directions.

After walking a short distance, we arrived at the place where we met the members of the New Star Club a few days ago.

Zhang Yu suddenly spoke up, his tone full of confusion: "I suddenly remembered something very important."

Chen Wenhao took over the topic: "Junior brother, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Didn't they say that these members of the New Star Club were plotting something bad against the World Tree?"

"Why haven't we encountered any other members of the Nova Club since we entered the forest?"

"It's fine if we haven't encountered them. We haven't found any trace of them yet."

After a pause, his eyes were filled with more doubts: "If their whereabouts are very secretive and hidden from us, will they pose a threat to the World Tree after we leave?"

Professor Song looked at Zhang Yu in surprise and said, "If you can use your ability to analyze things."

"It would be great if it could be used in academic research." Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows and grinned, "Teacher, I predicted your lines. Is there a reward?"

Professor Song's forehead veins popped out, and he forced himself to suppress the urge to teach Zhang Yu a lesson.

calm down.

When you get older, you must keep a calm mind and not get angry.

Professor Song exhaled deeply, turned his head to look at Chen Wenhao, who had a calm expression and exuded maturity and reliability from head to toe, and thought to himself, "Fortunately, Wenhao was not led astray by his junior fellow apprentice."

Chen Wenhao suddenly said: "Teacher, actually my analysis makes sense."

He frowned, "Where did these Rising Star Club members go?"

"Are there other actions being planned?"

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

After learning about the Nova Society's plan, he secretly kept an eye on them from the moment he entered the mysterious forest, but he found no trace of the Nova Society at all, as if they had never appeared at all.

But the more this happens, the weirder it becomes.

After all, Chen Yuan had already prepared for the arrival of the new star, so he sent Sparks and Coke to protect everyone and turn the tide.

Or maybe the rising star will covet the World Tree and take a series of bad actions, and I will have to take action in time to save the crisis.

But from the time we entered the mysterious forest until now, everything has been calm.

This is very unreasonable.

Hearing the two people's questions, Professor Song stroked his beard and smiled: "Isn't it a good thing that there are no new stars to interfere?"

"But this is very abnormal." Chen Wenhao frowned.

Lu Ran blew his bangs, crossed his arms, and tilted his head 45 degrees: "Maybe it's because I'm here."

Everyone ignored him.

At this moment, Yao Li stepped forward, drawing everyone's attention to himself. The scar on his face was particularly noticeable. "Do you remember what I said?"

After a brief pause, he smiled and said, "These organizations don't dare to confront us head-on. They are like rats in the sewers, hiding here and there."

"If we catch them by any chance, these rats will have no room to survive."

Chen Yuan felt strange when Yao Li said this.

The next moment, Yao Li walked straight towards him, with a smile on his slightly rough face: "Advisor Chen, please introduce yourself again."

"I am Yao Li, the captain of the first team of the first branch of Demon City."

"Please forgive me for not revealing my true identity before. This mission is too special and I have no choice but to do so."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wenning raised her eyebrows, Chen Wenhao's pupils shrank, Zhang Yu's eyes widened, and Lu Ran spoke frankly: "So you are the instant noodle captain?"

He had heard a rumor in the academy that the captain of a detective team loved instant noodles and always brought a full box of them with him every time he went on a mission, so he was called the Instant Noodle Captain.

Yao Li coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly: "This nickname is an accident."

Lu Ran muttered, "So this rumor is true. Is the funding for the Investigation Department so tight? I guess I won't be going to the Investigation Department after graduation."

A black line appeared on Yao Li's forehead: "I just love eating instant noodles! It has nothing to do with the funding!"

Lu Ran found this incredible: "There can't be anyone in this world who likes to eat instant noodles."

Yao Li held his forehead helplessly: "It's because I'm too tired from work. I can only spare a little time to cook instant noodles. I fell in love with it after eating it for a while."

Lu Ran: "The work of the Investigation Department is indeed as busy as the rumors say. I'd better not go." Yao Li: "."

Yao Li decided to ignore whatever Lu Ran said. He turned to look at Chen Yuan, who looked thoughtful, and smiled slightly. "Advisor Chen, I know you have many doubts in your mind. Let me explain them one by one."

"In fact, the organization had long been aware that some illegal organizations had their sights set on this research activity, so they made preparations early on."

"We are the team that came to Baokun City and entered the Qinling Mountains. We did not deliberately conceal our whereabouts throughout the entire process."

"But in the dark, there are several investigation teams accompanying them."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan had a strange expression on his face: "If that's the case, then we are actually bait?"

Yao Li shook his head, his expression serious: "Advisor Chen, you can't say that."

"Professor Song is still the overall person in charge of this event. Everyone here is a talented beastmaster. Each of you represents the future of Donghuang."

"Seriously, the other teams should be responsible for your safety while capturing those Nova Club members."

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

He had considered this question before. Entering the mysterious forest to search for the World Tree was a very important event for the authorities. Would the team lineup for this trip be too thin?
As expected, the authorities had already prepared both the obvious and hidden cards.

This is the official approach that is careful and well-prepared.

Chen Yuan suddenly remembered what Yao Li had said earlier and speculated, "So, those Rising Star Club members have been captured?"

"Advisor Chen's guess is correct." Yao Li nodded and confirmed this guess. "They followed us with their pets, and used some special skills to keep the various teams in touch."

At this point, Yao Li raised his lips and said, "But we also have these methods."

"Advisor Chen, aren't you curious about what my second pet is?"

"Now please take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Li had an idea, and a mysterious white pattern appeared in front of him. A strange-looking pet gradually appeared in front of Chen Yuan.

It looks like a golden disc with a golden key-shaped pattern in the middle and flowing silver runes on the back.

A pair of black and slender hands extend from both sides, and there are two small black dots on the upper left and right sides of the disc, like its eyes.

Chen Yuan had never seen such a strange pet, and his eyes showed deep surprise.

Although the forms of all the pets he had seen before were very different from ordinary creatures, they ultimately belonged to the category of living things.

But this thing in front of me doesn't look like a living creature at all. Instead, it looks like a compass with hands.

Professor Song's voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Advisor Chen, this is the key to the secret technique, the spiritual pet."

"The key to the secret technique?" Chen Yuan frowned slightly.

He had never heard of this pet.

"In addition, there is another pet that is very similar to it called the Key of Observation. The two pets have a special connection." Professor Song spoke slowly and in a low voice, making everyone feel as if they were back in the classroom.

"As for the appearance of the Observation Key, you can imagine it as a key with wings."

A key with wings?
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and his expression quickly became strange.

This appearance is easy to imagine, but it is very different from the appearance of ordinary pets.

"The Observation Key and the Secret Key were found in an ancient ruin. They can establish a special connection with each other. Then they can sense each other's position and even share information and images."

"Oh, the Observation Key records the images, and the Mystic Key can project them."

After a pause, Professor Song smiled and said, "So you understand the importance of these two pets, right?"

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

Just by listening to Professor Song's description, Chen Yuan could imagine many application scenarios of these two pets.

For example, you can use the Observation Key to sneak into special places and share images through the Secret Key.

Especially in the wild where signals are blocked, these two pets can play a huge role.

Yao Li took over the topic: "Other teams have the Observation Key, so they can locate our position in real time."

"Then, naturally, all the Nova Club members who were following us were targeted."

"The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. These guys will definitely not be able to escape from our grasp."

"Two cadres and a dozen senior members were all arrested. This is the biggest loss since the founding of the New Star Club. It's enough to keep them quiet for a while."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan sighed silently.

This was completely different from what he had initially imagined.

He was clearly prepared to turn the tide, but he didn't expect that the authorities had already considered everything and there was no need for him to do anything.

"What?" Lu Ran scratched his hair and kept yelling, "I was clearly ready to fight, but you told me that everything was over."

The three combat students nodded in agreement.

After learning about the Nova Society, as students at the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy headquarters, they naturally prepared to fight the evil forces to the end.

结果
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yao Li laughed: "I know you are all very powerful, and each of you is an amazing beastmaster."

"But it's better for us to handle these things. After all, this is our job."

"Besides."

"You are all the future of Donghuang, and you can't let anything like this happen to you."

Chen Yuan quickly accepted this fact. Of course, he wished there was no messy illegal organization attacking him. He quickly walked to the front of the secret key and said, "Brother Yao, I can..."

Before he could finish his words, Yao Li's voice rang out: "Touch, touch whatever you want!"

Chen Yuan was speechless for a moment.

It seems that this "hobby" of mine is already known to everyone.
"By the way, teacher, have you known these things for a long time?" Zhang Yu looked at Professor Song.

Professor Song did not answer directly: "I am the general manager."

Zhang Yu coughed lightly and whispered, "Teacher, I'm not questioning your choice, but is it too much for an ordinary person like me to participate in such a dangerous operation?"

"You are getting bolder and bolder. You dare to talk to the teacher like this." Professor Song glared at him.

Zhang Yu was not afraid at all. He smiled and said, "I would only dare to speak like this in front of the teacher I respect and admire the most."

Professor Song smiled helplessly and said, "You will inevitably encounter similar things in your future academic research. You need to get used to it in advance."

"And it's safe this time."

"Not only do we have the anti-crime squad secretly protecting us, but we also have Consultant Chen in our team."

Zhang Yu raised his eyes, looked at Chen Yuan's back, and suddenly felt relieved.

Yes, Consultant Chen is here.

The night is deep,

Scattered lights are hidden among the mountains, and the outline of Xuanhe Village is dim in the night.

Chen Yuan and his group finally returned to Xuanhe Village.

It was late at night, and this remote mountain village had fallen asleep. Fortunately, there were newly installed solar street lights on the streets and roads, which emitted not very bright lights all the way, but also dispelled some of the darkness.

Chen Yuan stood at the farm gate and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm finally home."

"Ow!"

"Chirp!"
