Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 329 - 191: It’s Decided, Star Moon Deer! (Part 2)

No wonder they are members from the Investigation Department in Shanghai.

Yao Li paused, scratched his head, and laughed: "Hahaha, I usually love reading random books, know a lot of things but am not proficient in any."

In simple terms, a jack of all trades, master of none.

Professor Song suddenly spoke: "There’s no need to make it so complicated."

He looked at Chen Wenhao with eyes full of admiration and anticipation: "I’ll go back and apply for a slot for you. The academy will provide you with a Pet Beast that aids in academic research."

Chen Wenhao wanted to say something but stopped: "Teacher, I..."

Professor Song waved his hand: "No need to say anything to me, just go back and study well."

"Yes!" Chen Wenhao nodded heavily.

As everyone chatted and discussed, the rescued Pet Beasts gradually regained their composure, circling the group to express their gratitude.

Some, like the Snowy Squirrel, brought food they had stored, while others stuck close to the people.

For instance, Zhang Yu, who rescued a large Hanhan Pig, was now beneath it, its thick lips kissing his cheek, and the sticky saliva made Zhang Yu’s face stiffen: "No... don’t!"

No catgirl as he imagined, but a passionate Hanhan Pig indeed.

Chen Yuan rubbed his chin, murmuring: "Indeed, pig-type Pet Beasts naturally favor those with the surname Zhang."

Zhang Hao did so, and now Zhang Yu as well.

"Pet Beasts are very intelligent creatures," Professor Song gave an impromptu lecture, "If you treat them well, they naturally feel your kindness and reciprocate."

"This scene before us is precisely the harmonious coexistence between people and Pet Beasts we actively pursue."

As everyone was chatting, a highly penetrating screech suddenly came from the sky, and Chen Yuan looked up with a smile on his face.

Spark has returned.

From Spark’s departure until now, several hours had passed; it had finally returned to its side.

Had it found those Star Moon Deer?

Before Spark even landed, a rhythmic sound of galloping suddenly came from afar, and looking up, a herd of Star Moon Deer were dashing over.

Snow particles flew like silver flakes with the tips of hooves, the antlers of each Star Moon Deer suspended with a glow like scattered diamonds, and every leap left footprints that unfolded in the snow like a falling star river.

The Little Star Moon Deer stuck closely to its mother’s side, its tail sweeping over the snow, leaving a trail of stars drifting like fireflies.

The cold wind swept by, the halos from the antlers interwoven with the snowy ground, complemented by the star patterns shimmering on their bodies, resembling an inverted galaxy.

"So beautiful." Jiang Wenning’s eyes shimmered.

"So strong." Lu Ran’s gaze settled on the leader of the Star Moon Deer.

"So steady." Chen Wenhao observed the Star Moon Deer running on the snow with stable posture.

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

Spark landed next to Chen Yuan, slightly lifting its head.

"You worked hard." Chen Yuan spoke warmly.

Searching in the heavy snow for a group of Star Moon Deer whose location was unknown is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, just thinking about it knows it’s a difficult task.

Luckily, it is Spark, Chen Yuan’s most trusted Spark.

"Ooh ooh..."

Looking at the beloved leader, Cola’s eyes filled with envy.

Another day where the big sister steals the spotlight.

Suddenly, a gentle hand patted the head, and Cola dazedly looked up to meet the tender eyes of its owner.

"You did great today too, have an extra bottle of Cola when we get back."

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

Cola doesn’t care about Cola; Cola only wants its owner’s praise.

The Star Moon Deer approached closer and closer, but facing the curious gazes of the crowd, they seemed somewhat anxious and uneasy, the adult deer protecting the fawns in the center.

For a moment, Chen Yuan and the others were distanced from the Star Moon Deer, neither side moving forward.

"Yoo yoo!"

Until the little Star Moon Deer that had once visited the farm, very bold, dashed out of the herd, stepping on snow dust, dashing in front of Chen Yuan.

Compared to the last meeting, its size was undeniably larger, meeting the requirements for riding.

But Chen Yuan already had his own mount Pet Beast.

"Congratulations little one, you’ve successfully reunited." Chen Yuan chuckled.

"Yoo yoo~"

Excitement shimmered in the little Star Moon Deer’s eyes, it circled Chen Yuan several times, then suddenly lowered its head, bowed down, seemingly expressing gratitude.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the leader of the Star Moon Deer raised its head and howled, as if it had triggered a mysterious switch, and all the other Star Moon Deer followed suit, raising their heads to let out long howls.

"Roar roar roar!"

"Yowl yowl yowl!"

Professor Song sighed, "It seems Advisor Chen has done something truly remarkable."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly, "Just happened to meet them a few times and saved two unlucky young deer."

Just then, Chen Wenhao keenly noticed a green deer in the center of the herd, furrowed his brow, "Teacher, what kind of Pet Beast is this?"

Professor Song followed the voice and looked over, then shook his head, "I don’t know."

"Even the teacher doesn’t know..." Chen Wenhao murmured softly.

Professor Song chuckled, "Your teacher isn’t all-knowing; there are many Pet Beasts that I’m not familiar with."

After a slight pause, he carefully examined the green deer, pondering, "Judging by its appearance, it should be a Wood Type deer Pet Beast."

Chen Yuan took a brief look and then withdrew his gaze.

This green deer was even smaller than the young Star Moon Deer, though its jade green and white fur looked quite textured, its strength appeared very ordinary.

"Could it be a Healing Type Pet Beast like the Twin Flower Concubine?"

Chen Yuan muttered, and suddenly noticed the Twin Flower Concubine staring intently at the green deer, a hint of curiosity in its eyes.

This was the first time Chen Yuan had seen the Twin Flower Concubine so curious about other Pet Beasts.

Usually, it was other Pet Beasts staring at it with that kind of gaze.

Chen Yuan’s heart tightened inexplicably, he reached out to block the Twin Flower Concubine’s eyes, and gently coughed, "Don’t stare at it like that, it’s not polite."

"Hum hum~"

The Twin Flower Concubine nodded obediently, but its peripheral vision instinctively lingered on the green deer.

Noticing the Twin Flower Concubine’s reaction, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the green deer again more carefully, and soon muttered, "It looks quite ordinary."

"Chirp chirp~"

Suddenly, Spark conveyed its recent observations to Chen Yuan through Mind Sensing.

Chen Yuan’s face froze in astonishment.

What?

This green deer can fly?

Chen Yuan instinctively chose not to believe it, but the sincerity in Spark’s gaze was undeniable, it wouldn’t lie.

Thus, Chen Yuan fell silent.

This green deer doesn’t have wings, how can it fly?

Chen Yuan patted his head and chuckled quietly, "A cognitive bias... "

This is the Extraordinary World, why should he stubbornly believe that wings are required to fly?

This green deer might not be as plain as it appears on the surface.

But now is not the time to dwell on this, as dusk seems ever encroaching; they’ve already been delayed by the blizzard and avalanche for most of the day, it’s time to move on and find a suitable camping spot.

"I’ll be counting on you next," Chen Yuan looked to the leader of the Star Moon Deer.

"Roar~" The leader of the Star Moon Deer nodded slightly, then one by one the adult Star Moon Deer approached the group and lowered their bodies.

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but entertain a thought:

If he could lure this herd of Star Moon Deer to Xuanhe Village and offer riding services to tourists and Beastmasters, business would likely be booming.

But the modest Xuanhe Village couldn’t contain the Star Moon Deer; they were born to run wild across the vast wilderness.

"Advisor Chen, it won’t throw me off, will it?" Zhang Yu swallowed nervously, visibly tense as he eyed the Star Moon Deer near him.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "As long as you don’t pull its antlers or tug its fur, it shouldn’t."

While Zhang Yu was contemplating the possibility of the Star Moon Deer tossing him off, Jiang Wenning had already bonded with a Star Moon Deer using a biscuit, with a swift leap, she seated herself on its back.

Though not as tall as the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, the Star Moon Deer’s back was wide, sitting atop was comfortable without any discomfort.

Everyone else soon followed suit, taking out their snacks to sway the Star Moon Deer.

Lu Ran, with his Red Hoof Colt, didn’t need to engage in the attempt to flatter.

Professor Song still stayed seated on the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, the latter being more stable compared to the Star Moon Deer.

Chen Yuan began selecting the Star Moon Deer he fancied the most.

His gaze settled on the Little Star Moon Deer: "It’s decided, it’ll be you!"

Yet before riding off on the Star Moon Deer, Chen Yuan decided to reach out and touch the green deer, to find out what special quality it possesses.

Chen Yuan quickly walked up to the green deer, his face lighting up with the brightest smile, reaching out his right hand, "I’ll just have a touch."

"Just a touch."
