Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 68 Open Fires Prohibited in the Forest
Old Xing can no longer run.

He was so tired that his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them. His throat felt like it was burning and there was a distinct smell of blood in his throat. His chest rose and fell violently and he was gasping for breath.

Old Xing knew in his heart that this was his limit.

But this is not the limit of Dahei.

"Dahei, please go away and don't worry about me." Old Xing slumped on the ground, his green coat covered in dust.

“Ah ...

Dahei can't speak. He just sits on the ground obediently and licks Lao Xing's palm with his tongue over and over again, as if this could make his master stand up quickly.

At this time,
Pairs of eyes glowing green appeared silently from all directions. An invisible sense of oppression pressed towards the man and the dog. Short and high-pitched howls came one after another, silencing all creatures in the dark night.

"roar~"

The tallest wolf stepped out, the moonlight illuminating its streamlined body, thick snow-colored hair, and ears that stood up high.

It just stood there quietly, staring at the man and the dog, with sharp claws extending from its limbs that shone with cold light, and a strong sense of oppression emanating from its whole body.

Following the dull howl of the leader wolf, the other wolves, who had used the dense forest to hide their bodies, stepped out one after another.

Including the leader, there were seven wolves in the pack, forming an ever-shrinking encirclement that trapped a man and a dog.

An invisible and oppressive atmosphere gathered in the sky.

Old Xing knew he couldn't escape.

He fumbled out a crumpled cigarette from his coat pocket. His right hand holding the lighter trembled, but he never lit the cigarette. Only the small flame was reflected in his eyes.

"Open flames are prohibited in the forest." He said this with a wry smile, then put the cigarette in front of his nose, sniffed it hard, and put it back in his pocket.

Immediately,

Old Xing took a deep breath, then slowly stood up, a smile flickering on his face: "You guys are really persistent."

Ever since the seven days of continuous heavy rain, Lao Xing deeply felt that the Qinling Mountains had become unfamiliar.

All the creatures around him underwent earth-shaking changes, including Dahei and this group of ghostly wolves.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. The nearly sixty-year-old Old Xing looked down at the tall Dahei and sighed slightly: "It's just hard for you, my old friend."

Dahei is a Kazakh shepherd dog he brought back from another place many years ago. He is tall and fierce, suitable for guarding the house and also suitable for accompanying him in this remote and desolate place.

Since the rainstorm, Dahei has become larger, more ferocious, and can use incredible power.

"Ow."

Dahei's fluffy tail touched the sighing Old Xing, but his dark eyes looked directly at the wolf leader, his open mouth revealed sharp teeth, and his fierce aura soared.

For a moment, the barking and howling of dogs resounded in the sky, startling a flock of birds.

"You are not afraid. I have no relatives or friends, and I am a worthless person."

Seeing that a fierce fight was inevitable, Lao Xing pulled out a small knife from his trouser pocket and held it in his right hand. His adrenaline began to surge as his eyes became more and more determined, and the blood in his body seemed to boil.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, with only the sound of heavy breathing being heard.

Both sides were beginning to feel a little impatient, but were waiting for the other side to reveal a flaw so that they could launch a fatal attack.

At this time,
A thick pillar of fire broke through the night sky not far away, accompanied by surging flames and a scorching breath rushing towards us.

Bang!
The pillar of fire hit the ground between the two sides, making a loud bang and raising clouds of smoke.

Both parties in the stalemate subconsciously took several steps back, raised their heads blankly, and looked confused.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing sparks from gently flapping wings, the orange-yellow body surging with flowing flames, and flames rising from the fiery red feathers.

Every time it flapped its wings, a bunch of sparks splashed onto the ground, like fleeting fireflies. Sparks had a calm expression, and looked around, sweeping across every figure. Its deep blue eyes, like the sea, carried an irrefutable majesty: "Chirp!"

Stop fighting from now on.

Who agrees?
Who is against it?
The place fell into deathly silence.

"Ouch!"

Coke, who was following Sparks in a hurry, saw this scene and a look of deep envy instantly appeared on his face.

The big sister has done it again!
Why don't I run faster!!!
At this moment, Coke was once again annoyed that he did not grow wings and could not ignore the terrain and fly directly to his destination like the big sister.

The successive appearance of sparks and cola completely broke the previous deadlock.

The leader wolf seemed a little anxious, frowning and breathing heavily. The big bird flapping its wings in the air made it particularly uneasy.

It looked at the green coat that Lao Xing was wearing again, its nose moved, and when it smelled the scent full of fatal temptation, an intoxicated expression appeared on its face, and its original anxiety disappeared.

"Old Xing, are you okay?"

Chen Yuan pushed aside the obstructing leaves and stepped out of the dense forest into this bustling flat area, and asked Old Xing who was surrounded by the group of Snow Cloud Wolves.

Fortunately he caught up.

Old Xing turned to look at Chen Yuan, searched for relevant information about him from his memory, and nodded: "He won't die for the time being."

Chen Yuan grinned: "Don't worry, I'll rescue you right away."

Then, he looked at the two little guys in front of him and said, "Sparks, Coke, it's up to you guys from now on."

"Chirp."

Sparks nodded slightly, and the flames on his body became more violent.

"Ouch!"

Keke had been waiting for a long time. When he heard Chen Yuan's words, he immediately howled and rushed towards the nearest Snow Cloud Wolf.

Chen Yuan looked at the group of Snow Cloud Wolves and recalled the relevant information: Snow Cloud Wolves are ice-type pets. Their naturally born rank is ordinary, and there is a very small probability that they will have elite quality.

Coke's body was carried by the wind, and his speed became faster and faster as he ran, until he turned into a blurry afterimage and rushed towards the nearest Snow Cloud Wolf!

boom!
Coke's speed was so fast that the Snow Cloud Wolf didn't have time to react before it was knocked several meters away and hit a big tree hard.

The trees shook and leaves fell, covering the Snow Cloud Wolf that was knocked dizzy.

"Ow!"

Cola grinned at the Snow Cloud Wolf, then set his gaze on the second Snow Cloud Wolf. A strong wind suddenly blew around him, and wind blades began to condense.

"Roar"

The Snow Cloud Wolf suddenly had an ominous premonition and shuddered uncontrollably.

Bang bang bang!
Three wind blades attacked the Snow Cloud Wolf in succession. It widened its eyes, dodged sideways to avoid the first one, and then opened its mouth and spit out a breath of cold air to freeze the second one.

boom!
But facing the third wind blade, the Snow Cloud Wolf had no way to avoid or block it. He could only watch helplessly as the wind blade got closer and closer to him and hit him accurately.

The wind blade was as sharp as a sword, cutting through the thick snow-colored hair of the Snow Cloud Wolf.

With a shrill scream, the Snow Cloud Wolf's body staggered and then fell to the ground.

It fell so quickly and its cry was so miserable that Chen Yuan frowned instantly.

Moreover, Chen Yuan noticed that after Cola defeated the two Snow Cloud Wolves, there was no system prompt sound from the source in his mind.
