Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger
Chapter 234 - 160: Grilled Fish under the Night Sky (Part 2)
Under full speed, it didn’t take long for Cola to return to the Blazing Fruit Tree.
"Howl howl howl!"
Cola barked twice, and once the two little fellows emerged from behind the tree, it immediately explained its purpose.
"Whimper?"
"Whimper?"
Spirit Fish?
"Howl howl!"
A very, very big Spirit Fish!
"Whimper?"
How big?
"Howl howl!"
Bigger than the three of us put together!
Cola’s description instantly shocked the two little fellows, and they stretched out their paws gesturing for a while, yet still couldn’t quite imagine how big such a Spirit Fish could be.
Is it this big?
Or this big?
"Howl!"
Cola suddenly remembered the main task, a hint of urgency flashed in its eyes, urging the two little guys to set off quickly.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
If we’re late, the big fish will be eaten!
Under Cola’s guidance, the two little fellows, who were always so cautious in the forest, finally experienced the thrill of dashing through the mountains and fields.
Whether it was passing Pet Beast or a group of Pet Beasts, when they saw the imposing Gale Hunting Dog, they all chose to avoid it from afar.
While casting envious glances at the two little ones closely following behind Cola.
"Whimper whimper."
The Flame-tailed Fox somewhat enjoyed this feeling, thus lifted its head high, its fiery red fur fluttering in the wind, resembling a surge of flames, strikingly visible in the night.
"Howl howl."
Cola looked back at the two small fellows, feeling a wave of satisfaction, its fur flying freely.
Why don’t you join the Puppy Team?
After all, you’re pretty much like us.
Cola once overheard its owner saying that foxes belong to the canine family, and even if they evolved, they still have some blood relation to canine Pet Beasts.
Doing a simple conversion, both the Flame-tailed Fox and Ice Fox are actually canine Pet Beasts.
Since they are canine Pet Beasts, of course, they can join the Puppy Team.
"Howl?"
Cola started to wonder which other animals belonged to the canine family and whether it should let them all join the Puppy Team?
As it pondered, a hunger pang hit its stomach, Cola shook its head, deciding to leave these thoughts for later.
The urgent matter now is to hurry back and eat the fish.
At the same time,
Mr. Xiong and the Bear Cub found a beehive.
However, under the beehive, several Attendant Bees hovered around, their crimson eyes scanning the surroundings.
Getting this beehive won’t be easy.
Mr. Xiong pondered seriously for a while, then suddenly had an idea: "Roar roar roar."
Mr. Xiong stretched out his paw pointing at the Attendant Bees, indicating he would attract their attention first and lead them away, then the Bear Cub would take the chance to grab the hive.
"Roar roar!"
The Bear Cub nodded heavily, patting its chest, indicating it would complete this daunting task.
"Roar~"
Mr. Xiong felt proud of his seamless plan, then stepped forward, his massive frame instantly appearing in front of the Attendant Bees.
"Buzz buzz."
The Attendant Bees gave a cold stare, issuing an expulsion order to Mr. Xiong.
Mr. Xiong paid no heed, continued forward, directly entering the alert range of the Attendant Bees.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Even though the Attendant Bees gave warnings, Mr. Xiong ignored them. Finally, one Attendant Bee’s gaze sharpened, its stinger gleaming with a cold light, and charged at Mr. Xiong!
"Roar!"
Mr. Xiong stood unfazed, gazing ahead with dark eyes, fiercely raised both paws, a fierce white light flickered, and he slapped at the attacking Attendant Bee.
The mighty slap sent the Attendant Bee flying, like a kite with a broken string, soaring backward.
"Buzz buzz!"
Mr. Xiong’s action immediately enraged these Attendant Bees, their thin wings on their backs flapped madly, the buzzing sound continuously in the air, attacking Mr. Xiong one after another!
Mr. Xiong revealed a "successful plan" smile, avoiding battle, swiftly retreating while dodging the attacks.
Mr. Xiong fled, the Attendant Bees pursued.
In an instant, Mr. Xiong and the Attendant Bees’ figures vanished into the dense forest.
"Roar?"
The Bear Cub didn’t rush out immediately; instead, it cautiously observed the surroundings, ensuring there were no other Attendant Bees, then took strides, running toward the hive as fast as it could.
Compared to the last time, the Bear Cub’s size and strength had seen a qualitative leap; it didn’t need to bump the tree clumsily but instead hugged the trunk tightly, using all four limbs to climb upward.
Soon,
the Bear Cub had reached just beneath the hive, and with its paw it could touch it, its eyes shone brightly, and it excitedly licked its lips.
"Buzz buzz..."
However, the next moment, a familiar cold voice sounded by its ear, like thunder shockingly striking the Bear Cub’s spirit, startling it greatly.
The Bear Cub’s expression turned stiff, as it dumbly raised its head and saw an Attendant Bee hovering in front, its emotionless crimson eyes fixed on itself.
Silence, only silence.
After a while, the Bear Cub forced a stiff smile, waving its paw at the nearby Attendant Bee: "Roar~"
Hello~
Have you eaten?
Its response was nothing but a cold stinger.
When Cola returned to the cave with the Flame-tailed Fox and Ice Fox, it encountered Mr. Xiong carrying the beehive.
"Howl?"
Cola looked left and right but didn’t see the Bear Cub, showing a puzzled expression.
Where’s my giant Bear Cub?
"Roar."
Mr. Xiong had a peculiar smile on its face, pulling the hiding Bear Cub out from behind.
Pulled it out forcefully.
The Bear Cub lowered its head, covering its cheeks with its paws, yet Cola could clearly see the Bear Cub’s swollen face, and it paused for a moment, recalling past scenes in its mind - being chased by a swarm of Attendant Bees, turning into a little honey dog.
