Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger-Chapter 111 - 103: Cola’s New Friend (Part 2)

Among the three skills it currently possesses, none can harm a flying Pet Beast.

But the premise is that the opponent doesn’t actively approach the Gray-armored Wild Boar.

"Snort."

Seeing the Attendant Bee getting closer, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Gray-armored Wild Boar, as its steel-like gray skin shimmered.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, the poison sting jabbed into the back of the Gray-armored Wild Boar, and the Attendant Bee’s expression suddenly changed.

Something’s wrong!

The Attendant Bee’s face twisted with effort as it tried to pierce the thick skin of the Gray-armored Wild Boar with its proud poison sting, but it found that no matter how much force it used, it couldn’t penetrate the gray skin’s defense.

"Little one, you can’t even break through!" Zhang Hao burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.

He had previously tried using a kitchen knife to chop the skin of the Gray-armored Wild Boar, but the result was exactly the same as now; even if the Gray-armored Wild Boar remained motionless, the kitchen knife couldn’t break through.

"Snort!"

The Gray-armored Wild Boar tilted its head, instantly biting down on the small-bodied Attendant Bee, then spat it out onto the ground like spitting, before stomping on it.

Zhang Hao looked down to see that the Attendant Bee had already closed its eyes, falling into a coma.

Zhang Hao beamed with joy, patting the body of the Gray-armored Wild Boar: "Well done, Gray-armored Wild Boar, we’re getting stronger and stronger."

"Snort."

The formidable Gray-armored Wild Boar instantly became like a meek little wife at Zhang Hao’s praise, snuggling up beside him, forming a stark contrast between their large and small sizes.

Zhang Hao pushed away the large pig head resting on his shoulder and stuck his head out: "Yuan, I’ve already defeated one. Need me to help?"

He turned to look at Chen Yuan, only to see five Attendant Bees lying haphazardly in front of him, all charred black.

Above in the air, Spark was chasing the largest Attendant Bee, the latter with panic in its eyes, wings flapping frantically with a buzzing escape sound.

Zhang Hao glanced again at the Attendant Bee lying in front of him and fell into a brief silence.

"Yelp yelp."

Cola, seeing Spark swiftly and decisively dealing with the annoying group of Attendant Bees, felt a deep sense of envy mixed with pride and couldn’t help but look at the Bear Cub.

I told you my big sister is invincible!

"Roar."

The Bear Cub stared blankly at the Flame Cloud Falcon flying mid-air, nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized and quickly shook its head.

My Mr. Xiong is stronger!

"Yelp!"

Big sister is stronger!

"Roar!"

Mr. Xiong is stronger!

The two little ones argued, neither willing to yield.

"Alright, these Attendant Bees won’t trouble you for now." Seeing Spark easily defeat the last Attendant Bee, Chen Yuan looked at the two little ones still arguing and slowly spoke.

He seemed to have underestimated Spark’s strength or miscalculated the difference in power between Tier One and Tier Two.

Despite their clear numerical advantage, the Attendant Bees stood no chance against Spark. Once hit, they immediately lost their combat ability.

Moreover, Insect Type Pet Beasts were at an absolute disadvantage against Fire-type Pet Beasts.

The sound of gaining Source Points echoed in his mind, and Chen Yuan squinted slightly, thinking to himself, "This small scale of Pet Beast groups is quite suitable for harvesting Source Points."

Without much effort, Chen Yuan acquired 0.6 Source Points.

"Yuan, has your Spark gotten stronger again?"

Zhang Hao’s voice pulled Chen Yuan’s thoughts back, and he smiled a little: "Because it has broken through to Tier Two."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was momentarily stunned, then something clicked, and his eyes widened: "Wait, Tier Two?"

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through his mind, culminating in one question: "Yuan, don’t tell me you’ve already become an intermediate Beastmaster?"

Under Zhang Hao’s watchful eyes, Chen Yuan nodded.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and was about to start his usual compliments when he suddenly remembered an important piece of information—two days ago, Chen Yuan had gone to Baokun City for some business, and the next day, the Baokun City Beastmaster Association had announced that their first intermediate Beastmaster had emerged.

This timing is too coincidental.

"Wait a minute."

"Yuan, you aren’t our city’s first intermediate Beastmaster, are you?"

Zhang Hao lifted his head to look at Chen Yuan, and upon seeing him nod slowly, he stood there as if struck by lightning, then squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You...you damn genius."

Chen Yuan slightly raised an eyebrow: "What, feeling envious?"

Zhang Hao nodded decisively: "A bit, yes, but when the Association sent people to deliver a plaque back then, I thought something was off. Your Beastmaster talent must be outstanding."

"Everything that happened afterward proved my guess right."

"So upon hearing this news, I was shocked and yet not surprised."

Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Hao in surprise: "It’s rare for you to say so many serious words in one go."

Zhang Hao chuckled, "It’s alright. I mainly wanted to brag about you a bit. Once you become famous, you can help advertise my family’s farmstay."

Chen Yuan: "?"

A moment later,

"Alright, this problem is solved. Let’s continue on our journey."

Due to this delay, Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao needed to complete their search and rescue route before nightfall.

"Awoo awoo."

Cola stopped arguing and ran two circles around its new friend.

Let’s get going now, awoo.

"Roar roar."

The Bear Cub was a bit reluctant to part with this new friend who liked to bicker with it; it’s also its only good friend in the forest.

Its round eyes rolled around, and the Bear Cub patted its chest towards Cola and Chen Yuan, extending an invitation.

Come visit my home. Mr. Xiong will thank you for saving me.

Chen Yuan took the opportunity to pat the Bear Cub’s head and said with a smile, "Thank you for the invitation, but we have important business to attend to."

Upon hearing Chen Yuan’s words, a trace of thought flashed through the Bear Cub’s eyes. It then proudly raised its head, pointed around with its paw, "Roar roar roar."

Here, Mr. Xiong and I are the most formidable!

If you need something, just ask Mr. Xiong for help!

Zhang Hao expressed doubt, "If you’re so formidable, why were you chased relentlessly by those Attendant Bees?"

The Bear Cub glared fiercely at Zhang Hao and retorted with hands on its hips, "Roar roar."

Because Mr. Xiong wasn’t around.

Seeing a flash in Zhang Hao’s eyes, he suggested, "If this guy isn’t lying, there must be a very formidable Earth Bear in this forest."

"Yuan, instead of wandering around like headless chickens following this route, why don’t we ask the Earth Bear for help?"

"You’ve already asked those Violent Cloud Sparrows for help."

Chen Yuan looked thoughtful and asked, "Is your home far from here?"

The Bear Cub looked around at the surroundings, suddenly scratching its head, struggling to remember where its cave home was.

After a while, the Bear Cub finally remembered its location and pointed directly north, "Roar roar."

Just climb over a mountain to get there.

Chen Yuan checked his phone; there was still some time before dark, so he nodded, "Alright, let’s hurry over."

What Zhang Hao said makes sense: asking the forest’s Pet Beasts for help is the most effective way to conduct a search and rescue, as they are more familiar with the forest environment than the Forest Rangers and know every human that enters the forest.

"Awoo awoo awoo~"

Cola was delighted to continue playing with its new friend, wagging its tail high in the air, eager to bring the Bear Cub back to the farm and introduce it to other friends.

The Electric Flying Cat will surely like the Bear Cub since they’re both chubby.

"Roar roar."

The Bear Cub swaggered at the front and waved at Cola behind it, exuding a sense of ’I’m the boss of this forest.’

"Awoo~"

Cola followed, the two little ones abandoning their previous debate over whether the big sister or Mr. Xiong was stronger, and instead discussing what was the tastiest.

"Roar!"

Of course, it’s honey!

"Awoo~"

No way, fish is the tastiest, and Cola is the best drink!

"Roar?"

What’s Cola?

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Cola is the most delicious drink in the world!
