Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 424 Egg's Special Training Path

"hold head high?"

Looking at the egg that had instantly killed the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon, a faint, almost imperceptible light flashed in the huge dragon eyes of the Radiant Ember Dragon, as if some invisible sense had been triggered.

The next instant, the dragon scale that had been given to Egg was drawn by a gentle, invisible force and slowly emerged in front of Egg.

However, compared to the once radiant and intensely hot dragon scale, the one before us has become dull and lifeless, its surface devoid of any luster, and even showing some cracks as if its energy had been drained.

The immense fire energy that was originally contained within has now been completely drained.

A clear hint of surprise flashed across Huangtian Jinlong's eyes.

At this moment, it stared intently at the egg, its gaze seemingly trying to penetrate the dark blue scales and see the secrets hidden within.

The ability to completely absorb and convert the fire energy in the dragon scales in such a short time is something that ordinary dragons could not do, far exceeding its initial expectations.

After a brief examination, the enormous head of the Radiant Sky Dragon nodded slightly: "Roar~"

Although it couldn't see through the secrets inside the little dragon for the time being, it always felt a sense of extreme familiarity, as if it had seen it somewhere before.

Could it be the fruit of its love, left behind during its travels throughout the country?

For a moment, Huangtian Jinlong felt that Egg Egg looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

He naturally understood the reasons behind it.

During the intense competition of the Eastern Glory Tournament, Egg never slacked off in its training, taking time every day to carefully absorb the extremely pure fire energy from the dragon scales.

This process is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires immense patience and precise control over energy. A slight misstep could result in being devoured by the violent fire energy.

However, Egg's bloodline power was strong, and coupled with the water-type pet's extremely high resistance to fire-type energy, it persevered and eventually succeeded in completely turning this powerful external force into its own, thereby comprehending and mastering an extremely powerful fire-type skill - [Ember Dragon Breath].

This was a fire-type skill that Chen Yuan had never heard of before, but judging from the name, it was highly likely to be closely related to the Radiant Sky Dragon in front of him.

The fire-type move that instantly killed the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon was the Ember Dragon's Breath.

After mastering this move, Egg's overall combat power has made a huge leap. Even when facing wood-type pets that have an elemental advantage over it, it now has a trump card that can turn the tide of battle.

A water dragon that has mastered fire-type moves will definitely surprise every opponent.

"hold head high"

Just then, a painful and weak moan pulled Chen Yuan back to reality.

He turned his head and saw the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon, which had been severely injured by Egg's attack and the Ember Dragon's breath, lying on the grass. Smoke was still rising from the charred parts of its body, and it was emitting a heartbreaking groan.

Not far away, a graceful, slender, and luminous dragon with a soft pink body and tiny horns on its head was walking towards it, seemingly wanting to use its healing abilities.

Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately gave a wink to the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy who was quietly staying by his side, while saying loudly, "Its injuries were caused by us, so we should be responsible for treating it!"

"I come!"

The Flower Fairy of Dawn and Dusk understood immediately. She gracefully flew forward, and with a wave of her arms, healing petals containing rich life energy fell like the gentlest spring rain, covering the wounds of the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon.

The soft white light continued to flicker, the charred marks faded at a visible speed, new flesh began to grow, and the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon's painful groans gradually subsided, its eyes revealing gratitude: "Awoo~"

Chen Yuan also took the opportunity to step forward, saying words of comfort while gently stroking the recovering body of the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon.

A soft touch came from his fingertips, and a notification sounded in his mind that the source points had increased. Chen Yuan remained calm, but was secretly delighted.

Seeing this, Su Lan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but smile. She whispered to the two people beside her, "It seems the rumors are true. Consultant Chen really cares for every pet and really likes to pet them."

Li Tianyun shrugged noncommittally, his gaze lingering more on the powerful wild dragon beasts, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Without wasting any more time, he turned around and strode towards the other side of the lake where a group of powerful dragon beasts had gathered.

Seeing this, Ye Sheng and Su Lan each chose a direction and began searching for their favorite dragon-type pets.

After Zidian Qinglanlong fully recovered under the skillful treatment of Chenmu Huaxian, and even felt more energetic as a result of the misfortune, Egg's challenge journey officially began.

It stood proudly in the center of the arena, its deep blue dragon eyes scanning the various powerful dragon-like beasts around it, and let out a low roar full of fighting spirit.

"Ang~"

Are you coming one by one, or all at once?

However, when a group of dragon-like pets actually rushed over, Egg shrank its neck and its expression changed slightly: "Roar!"

This is a one-on-one duel mode!
You guys actually came together!

"Coo-choo~~~"

Upon seeing this, Youmi burst into laughter.

You wouldn't be happy if they all came together.

No wonder he's the most stupid and dumbest little dragon on the farm.

While Egg kept launching challenges, Youmi looked left and right, and suddenly her eyes lit up—a group of little dragons were gathered around the lake, putting their tails into the water, seemingly waiting for something to take the bait.

"Coo-choo~"

Youmi chuckled, then concealed herself and quietly flew towards the group of little dragons.

When it reached the little dragons, it patted the one on the far side with its paw, and then quickly flew away to a distance.

"hold head high?"

Xiao Long tilted his head, then turned to look at his friend next to him, his face full of confusion.

The two little dragons looked at each other, both with adorable blank expressions.

What are you looking at?
When Xiaolong turned around, it felt something pat its body. It turned its head sharply and glared at its companion.

What exactly do you want to do?

The friend looked puzzled: "Huh?"

A deep sense of doubt flashed in Xiaolong's eyes. It first looked at its bewildered companion, then turned back.

The next second, it suddenly turned its head, but there was nothing in front of it. Its companion was also focused on fishing, but its body was inexplicably bumped.

"hold head high"

For a moment, a deep fear flashed in the little dragon's eyes. Its body trembled, and it ran towards a giant dragon not far away, letting out a childish cry.

mom!!!
The dragon, lying prone on the ground, raised its eyelids and glanced in this direction indifferently. Then it opened its mouth and roared, and a surge of spiritual power suddenly erupted. Invisible waves of thought swept over, causing ripples to spread through the space.

The next moment, Yumi, who was covering her mouth and chuckling because her prank had worked, was no longer invisible and was completely exposed to a group of little dragons.

"Chirp."

Staring at the small, menacing-looking dragon, a bead of cold sweat trickled down Youmi's forehead. It forced a stiff grin and raised its claws.

If I told you it was a misunderstanding, would you believe me?
While Youmi was playing with a group of little dragons, Dandan had already started taking on the challenge.

Initially, with its newly mastered [Ember Dragon Breath] and its rapidly improving strength, Egg easily defeated several dragon-type pets whose strength was similar to or even slightly inferior to that of the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon.

The scorching dragon breath was unstoppable, and the intense pressure spread in all directions, causing the surrounding dragons to stir and growl.

However, there are countless powerful dragon-like beasts in this place; as soon as one falls, another will appear.

As the challenges continue, the opponents become increasingly powerful. There's the Rock Dragon, adept at manipulating the earth and possessing astonishing defensive capabilities; the Lightning Wyvern, swift as lightning and with treacherous attacks; and the Tide Serpent, capable of unleashing colossal waves.
As the opponents that appeared became stronger and stronger, Egg, who was only at the third tier, gradually found himself in a tough battle.

It can no longer win easily; it often requires a long period of maneuvering and probing, seizing the opponent's fleeting weakness, in order to achieve victory with great difficulty.

After several battles, Egg was caught off guard by a dragon-type pet that was exceptionally strong and powerful. With a heavy dragon tail strike, Egg, who had been fighting continuously, was severely injured. Its body flew backward like a kite with a broken string and finally crashed heavily to the ground.

Egg finally succumbed. Lying on the ground, it raised its eyes to gaze at its defeated opponent and let out a defiant roar: "Roar!"

hateful!

How could I, the king, fall like this!

The moment Egg fell, the dragon-like pets watching the battle roared excitedly, their cries shaking the heavens and the earth.

We won!

We finally defeated that foreign dragon!
"Singing~"

When Egg was injured and fell down, the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy, who was already prepared, immediately flew over, her light wings scattering golden dust, and her dazzling petals blooming with a healing glow.

In no time, Egg's injuries began to heal at a visible speed. Then Chen Yuan strode over and fed it pet food to help it regain its strength.

"Do you want to rest for a while?" Chen Yuan asked.

Although Egg's strength ranks last among the four little guys, its growth rate is incredibly fast.

Whether it's a victory or a defeat, Egg's strength will improve rapidly.

"Ang~"

Egg shook its head. It barely stopped, and as soon as its injuries healed, it immediately threw itself back into the battle.

The fighting spirit in its eyes did not diminish; on the contrary, it became even sharper and more persistent because of its experience of failure.

In this almost brutal cycle of challenges—fighting, getting injured, healing, and fighting again—Egg's combat experience accumulated at a visible speed.

Unbeknownst to her, Egg has become more skilled in using her abilities and more precise in seizing opportunities. Her adaptability has also improved rapidly when facing opponents with different attributes and fighting styles.

Its aura grew richer and more refined with each fall and rise.

The dragon-like pets watching the battle gradually changed from initial curiosity, resistance, and rejection to surprise and solemnity, and finally to disbelief and stunned silence.

They watched in astonishment as this foreign dragon grew at an astonishing rate, becoming stronger as if there were no limits.

Suddenly, several gorgeous female dragon beasts were gradually attracted by Egg's indomitable spirit and the fact that he grew stronger with each battle.

They approach on their own initiative, making soft calls, and even rubbing their necks against the testicles to express their affection.

But at this moment, Egg only had one thought in his mind—to become stronger.

"hold head high!"

Egg glared fiercely at the female dragon beasts, its eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Get out!

Don't delay my battle!
Looking at this scene, Chen Yuan was filled with emotion: "If Electric Flying Cat saw this, it would definitely be envious to death."

"But Egg did the right thing; these things will only affect its ability to become stronger."

"and"

"Egg is only a baby less than a month and a half old."

The Heavenly Dragon, lying prone on the ground, never took its eyes off Egg.

It watched as the egg fell down again and again, only to rise again and again, and each time it rose, its breath grew stronger than before.

This almost insane growth rate, along with the tenacity ingrained in its bones and the desire for power, gradually plunged Huangtian Jinlong into deep thought, an elusive light flickering deep within its dragon eyes.

In this special space where there seems to be no alternation of day and night, the concept of time becomes blurred.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Tianyun and his two companions, who had successfully contracted their desired dragon-type pets, returned to the lakeside one after another.

The three returned and immediately saw Egg in the center of the field.

Egg had just gone through a fierce battle and was covered in fresh wounds, but his spirit was unstoppable.

Chen Yuan stood on the sidelines, intently observing the battle, occasionally offering pointers.

Looking at the scene before him, and sensing the significantly stronger aura that Egg had displayed compared to when he first entered this place, Li Tianyun couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

"Now I understand a little better. Consultant Chen's strength and excellence are not entirely due to talent. His hard work and effort are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Su Lan smiled and nodded: "Consultant Chen certainly deserves this championship."

Ye Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.

At this moment, Chen Yuan looked at Dandan, who was panting and resting, and his thoughts were in turmoil.

After a series of battles, Egg defeated the pet beasts and obtained a considerable amount of Source Points, while Chen Yuan took the opportunity to pet each pet beast and obtain a generous amount of Source Points.

"These dragon-type pets are almost impossible to encounter outside. The opportunity to come to the Abyss Dragon Cave is rare. Let's make the most of this time and touch all of these pets."

"Well done, laying eggs and seizing this rare opportunity to obtain the source point."

"Egg, rest up and let's continue."

On the other side, Huangtian Jinlong glanced at the three who had returned with a full load, seemingly quite satisfied with their efficiency.

It waved its huge claws, and immediately three purple lightning and blue mist dragons stepped forward, lowered their bodies, and signaled to them that it was time to leave.

Li Tianyun was taken aback, then pointed to Chen Yuan, who was still in the arena directing Egg in preparation for the next challenge, and asked, "Senior Huangtian Jinlong, what about Advisor Chen?"

Huangtian Jinlong exhaled a burst of hot air, still carrying sparks, from his nostrils, and glanced indifferently at Li Tianyun, indicating that they didn't need to worry about Chen Yuan's affairs.

Li Tianyun was speechless for a moment. He looked at Chen Yuan, who was surrounded by a group of dragon beasts, and a strong premonition grew in his heart—this separation would not make the gap between them grow wider and wider, would it?

Thinking of this, Li Tianyun quickly shook his head.

No, definitely not.

He was very lucky this time, as he contracted a dragon-type pet with extremely high potential, which could become his trump card pet.

Moreover, after leaving the Abyss Dragon Cave, he will immediately go abroad to combine theory with practice as perfectly as possible and forge his own path to becoming stronger.

Seeing different landscapes and fighting against more landscapes should rapidly improve his strength.

When they meet again, he might be qualified to compete with Consultant Chen once more.

Upon hearing this, the three of them asked no further questions. After waving goodbye to Chen Yuan, they each mounted the Purple Lightning Azure Dragon with different feelings in their hearts.

The dragon flapped its wings, transforming into three streaks of light that flew back in the direction it had come from, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon.

Lakeside
Only Chen Yuan and the little ones remained, along with countless pairs of dragon eyes that were filled with curiosity, fighting spirit, or contemplation.

"Ang~"

Egg took a deep breath, its dragon eyes burning with even greater flames as it looked toward the next opponent who exuded an even stronger aura.

Its special training is far from over.
