Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger
Chapter 217 - 152: This Cold-Biting Ox Doesn’t Make Sense
As the fierce Cold Breath subsided, the temperature gradually returned to normal, and the inside and outside of the yard fell into a long-lasting dead silence.
All eyes were staring blankly at that petite figure.
"Aw....."
Cola widened its eyes, suddenly realizing that it seemed to have rescued a very terrifying little creature.
It’s over, the second position on the farm might not be secure!
"Quack quack....."
The Run Run Duck stared blankly at the Cold-Biting Ox, a bold idea emerged in its heart — if it helped to freeze Mingyu Lake, could it catch fish as it pleased?
For a moment, the Run Run Duck’s eyes sparkled.
"Dian...Dian....."
The Electric Flying Cat shivered with cold, tightly sticking to the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast to gain as much warmth as possible.
Only the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast remained unaffected, its thick fur allowing it to ignore the sudden drop in temperature.
"Ka."
Iron Head’s eyes flickered as it scrutinized the Cold-Biting Ox and slowly nodded.
With this little guy, the farm should be safer.
"Yin~Yin~"
Snowflakes fell on the Twin Flower Concubine’s head, but they melted away in an instant. It reached out and touched them, then quickly waved its hand.
Want to play more, want to play more!
"Chirp....."
Spark’s eyes were deep, and its expression gradually became serious.
Just now, it even felt a hint of threat.
"Is this for real?"
Chen Yuan was still a bit dazed, his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief.
A Pet Beast cub that had just been born, able to explode with Tier Two power in an instant?
This wasn’t just [Cold Breath], it was clearly [Frosty Winter Storm]!
Chen Weiyi wasn’t sure of the exact power the Cold-Biting Ox displayed, but seeing Chen Yuan’s surprised expression, he gazed at the Cold-Biting Ox’s back, and the frown on his face relaxed into a smile: "See, I told you you’re not actually dumb."
Chen Yuan’s mouth twitched, secretly thinking: "Grandpa, this isn’t about being dumb or not."
"This Cold-Biting Ox... seems a bit outrageous."
But the Cold-Biting Ox did not respond; it just stood quietly.
More accurately, it collapsed to the ground.
Chen Yuan was the first to notice something was wrong, he quickly stepped forward, squatted down to check, only to find the Cold-Biting Ox had already fallen unconscious.
His face froze: "Overused its strength?"
It was the first time he had encountered a situation where using a single skill would cause unconsciousness; was it exhausted?
Could it be that this ridiculously powerful skill just now drained all the energy stored in its body?
Various doubts surfaced in his mind, and Chen Yuan waved his hand to disperse the curious little guys surrounding him, then carried the Cold-Biting Ox into the main hall to let it rest and recuperate.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Yuan examined its data panel, the only anomaly being the pitifully low proficiency of Cold Breath, only 0.1.
With such proficiency, can a skill burst out with such tremendous power? Is that reasonable or not?
This Cold-Biting Ox has a big secret, Chen Yuan decided to tell his younger brother everything that just happened.
Chen Wenhao soon replied "Got it," but there was no further message.
Later, Chen Yuan noticed a message in the group chat annotated as [Fruit Factory] mentioning him, he clicked in to take a look:
"Orange, we’ve set the date, I’ll be coming to Qinling on the first of next month."
The first?
Wouldn’t that be when my brother arrives too?
Wait, could it be the same batch?
Chen Yuan directly asked: "Which professor are you coming with?"
Jiang Wenning quickly replied: "Professor Song Ren."
Great, it really is the same batch.
This Professor Song Ren was Chen Wenhao’s mentor during his master’s and doctoral studies, a top figure in the field of biology in the country.
After the Spiritual Energy Revival, Professor Song Ren joined the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy Headquarters, establishing a laboratory related to Extraordinary Creatures and is currently conducting multiple experiments with Chen Wenhao.
"My brother will be coming along too, he’s a student of Professor Song Ren." Chen Yuan sent a message.
Jiang Wenning exclaimed in surprise: "How come I’ve never heard you mention this before?"
"He’s quite low-key, usually either at the library or the laboratory." Chen Yuan replied.
Jiang Wenning nodded thoughtfully: "True, the bigshots from the research department usually keep a low profile."
Yun Province,
Lishui City,
Just after completing physical training, Li Junyue, panting, was replying to a message his wife sent in the morning.
He suddenly saw several messages in the [Fruit Factory] group chat, but did not join in, instead muttering softly: "This should be our first offline meeting."
Though it’s just the two of us, it has great significance.
But then he remembered that Chen Yuan and Chang Yuhuan had met offline long ago and dispelled these messy thoughts.
He’s already thirty, why bother with such trivial matters.
"Hey, Mr. Li, what do you think is the point of Captain Su making us train our physical fitness all day? Isn’t the deal to battle with Pet Beasts in this era?" The young man next to him complained while rubbing his shoulder.
Li Junyue’s face remained unchanged, his tone calm: "Perhaps it’s so we can run away faster when in danger."
The young man pursed his lips: "What kind of danger could we, in the Investigation Department, possibly encounter?"
"The best Beastmasters are in the Investigation Department, those dangers would only steer clear when they see us."
The next moment, rhythmic footsteps sounded outside the door, then the door was pushed open from the outside, revealing a very ordinary figure.
Su Quan’s gaze fell on the young man, expressionless: "If everyone thought like you, our Investigation Department would be doomed."
After a moment’s pause, he stared at the young man, his tone steady: "Moreover, how many Beastmasters have you seen to say the best ones are all in the Investigation Department."
The young man instinctively said: "Aren’t they?"
Whether it’s Beastmasters from the Beast Taming Academy or those from the Investigation Department, he had deep interactions with them, thus comprehending the gap between the two well.
