Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 72: The Old Man’s Fierce Battle Record (Please read it again on Tuesday!!!)
As the night deepens,
Chen Yuan moved the table to the yard and enjoyed dinner with the old man and the little ones.

Today's dinner is very sumptuous, with a steamed spirit fish, three fresh dishes and mutton blood vermicelli soup.

While Chen Yuan was eating heartily, he listened to the old man telling him what happened yesterday.

"I was also shocked when I returned to the farm yesterday evening. The ground was full of potholes and there were many scattered feathers."

"Fortunately you were not on the farm at that time." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

The old man glared at Chen Yuan first, then said, "I've seen all kinds of scenes. It's just a flock of birds."

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's been a week since I heard the story of my grandfather fighting the lone wolf when he was twenty years old."

Every time he gets together and drinks some wine, the old man can't help but brag about this incident - when he was young, he once went into the mountains alone and encountered a hungry lone wolf. He then set a heroic record by killing the lone wolf single-handedly.

The incident even made the local news.

From then on, everyone around him at the dinner table could only listen to him bragging.

The old man glanced at him unhappily, and suddenly thought of something. His eyes were complicated and he sighed slightly: "The world is changing too fast. I don't know if it's a good thing for you to stay here."

"Besides, the mountains are too dangerous, you should..."

Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head. He pointed at the little guys who were feasting and said, "Grandpa, we are safe with them around."

"We didn't encounter any danger this time when we entered the mountains, so don't worry."

The old man just sighed and stopped persuading.

"By the way, grandpa, try meditating." Chen Yuan suddenly said.

The old man waved his hand: "I am already seventy years old, it is not appropriate."

Chen Yuan said seriously: "The best time to become a beastmaster was a week ago, the second best time is now."

"Grandpa, Old Xing on the mountain is not much younger than you. He has started meditating now."

Before going down the mountain, Chen Yuan specially left "Basic Meditation Method 1.0" to Lao Xing, who gladly accepted it.

"Even if you can't become a powerful beastmaster, meditation can improve your physical fitness and your chances of getting sick will be much lower."

As a person gets older, all kinds of injuries and illnesses will arise.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flickered, meeting Chen Yuan's extremely serious gaze, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll give it a try?"

"I must try it." A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

After dinner, Chen Yuan cleaned up and washed the dishes, then came to the chicken coop and saw Doudou Chicken resting with its eyes closed.

"Doudouji, thank you for fighting off those skylarks yesterday."

Chen Yuan had previously asked the three little ones one by one about the details of the incident, and unexpectedly learned that Doudou Chicken had also taken action.

After escorting the chicks back to the chicken coop, it launched a "Bean Attack" to help defeat the two skylarks.

"Giggle."

Doudouji opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Yuan, nodded slightly, his face looking calm.

Chen Yuan placed a small pile of vegetables in front of Doudou Chicken and left quietly.

He was not actually surprised that Chicken Little would take action, but he did not expect that Den Den Flying Cat did not choose to retreat, but to fight alongside them.

In this way, the four pets cooperated with each other and actually repelled the group of violent skylarks.

"They are indeed worthy of reward." Chen Yuan thought secretly.

However, Chen Yuan originally planned to leave the remaining four Lumen Fruits for Yuzu, Watermelon, and his younger brother.

"Let's ask Wenhao later. If it's not possible to transport it over long distances, just give it directly to the little guys." "If it's possible, even if it costs six source points to make the Lumen fruit trees bear fruit again, we should reward them."

As the night deepens,
Chen Yuan returned to the bedroom, called Zhou Xu, and told him everything that had happened during the journey into the mountains.

"It's my fault." After hearing this, Zhou Xu took the initiative to apologize.

Chen Yuan was stunned: "Brother Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Xu explained: "I just found out that satellite phones are useless. This situation not only happens deep in the Qinling Mountains, but also occurs all over the world."

"The deeper you go into the wild, the more severe the environment, the weaker the satellite signal becomes, or even completely blocked."

"This is the case in places like the depths of the Qinling Mountains, the depths of the northern Tibetan Plateau, and the core areas of the western desert."

"Not only are satellite signals blocked, but when aircraft fly to these places, the signals of various electronic devices will be severely disrupted, making it impossible to fly normally."

"A number of domestic flights have been urgently cancelled, and routes that must pass through the Qinling Mountains have been modified."

Chen Yuan smacked his lips and said, "Then this has a huge impact."

Zhou Xu said: "This also means that we are currently unable to detect the specific conditions in these places."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and then guessed: "Could it be related to the dark clouds over the forest?"

"We can't rule out this possibility." Zhou Xu nodded in agreement, then said slowly, "We will definitely organize a group of people to conduct in-depth exploration of these places in the near future to prevent any danger."

"When the time comes, I'll have to ask you to help me."

Chen Yuan grinned: "It should be."

The calmer the Qinling Mountains are, the safer the people living here will be.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, I need a drone." Chen Yuan suddenly spoke.

Zhou Xu's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood Chen Yuan's intention of applying for a drone, and nodded readily: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Do you need any other equipment?"

Since they are forest rangers of the new era, they are naturally different from usual ones. They need to be equipped with a series of high-tech equipment to better patrol the mountains and protect the forests.

Chen Yuan thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Not for now."

He has a handy sports camera at home, and with a drone, he is able to better perform his duties of patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests.

"How about this, the association recently purchased a batch of special rations for pets, I'll send some over."

"These rations were developed recently. They taste good and most importantly, they are suitable for most pets. They are also easy to carry, so you don't have to worry about food for your pets even in the wild." Zhou Xu explained patiently.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

This trip into the mountains took nearly two days, so his three meals a day were easy to solve, so he could just make do with whatever he had.

However, the two little guys have different tastes and appetites. In order to keep them full and keep them fighting at all times, Chen Yuan spent a lot of effort.

It would be much more convenient to have this kind of ration.

Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Zhou, I heard that there is an ointment for treating pet beasts' injuries recently? Can this kind of thing be bought directly? Or can it be exchanged for contribution points?"

Zhou Xu waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal. I'll send some over."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou, this is not necessary."

Zhou Xu laughed: "Don't feel any psychological burden. As a forest ranger, your task is already difficult. These things should be given to you."

"It's my fault. I should have sent it to you earlier."
