Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 457 - 230: The Steel-headed Ground Rat Shows Its Might (Part 2)

Little Yellow Frog being defeated by this timid Run Run Duck is truly a disgrace to the Frog Race.

A thought flashed by, and those small eyes glancing left and right, searching for other opponents to combat.

Who else is an easy target?

As the second strongest and second smartest frog in the Frog Race, Abyssal Giant Toad has seen many scenes big and small, and it knows well that in battles, one should tackle the easier opponents first before the difficult ones.

First, challenge the weak ones to boost one’s own prestige, strike the opponent’s confidence, and then challenge the stronger ones one by one, in order to increase the chances of victory.

This is the experience of Abyssal Giant Toad and also the fundamental principle for it to remain the second strongest frog.

Abyssal Giant Toad’s gaze first fell on the small-bodied Twin Flower Concubine sitting on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, showing a thoughtful look.

This little guy seems easy to bully.

"Humming~"

Twin Flower Concubine, aware of the gaze from Abyssal Giant Toad, swiftly stood up, lifted its long dress, and flashed a sweet smile towards the latter, with flower petal headpieces dazzling under the sunlight, rippling in the eyes of Abyssal Giant Toad.

"Croak Croak."

Indeed, a harmless little creature; defeating it should be a breeze.

Alright, I’ve decided on you...

"Croak Croak Croak!"

Just as Abyssal Giant Toad was about to approach, a Lanwen Green Frog hurriedly jumped out, looking anxious, bustling to Abyssal Giant Toad’s side, calling non-stop.

Captain! Captain!

I remember this guy!

"Croak?" Abyssal Giant Toad turned around.

Lanwen Green Frog called intensely: "Croak Croak Croak!"

That day, it was sunbathing by a small river, and saw the Twin Flower Concubine strolling gracefully among the flowers, elegant steps instantly catching its attention.

But what happened next left Lanwen Green Frog’s eyes wide open.

Only to see Twin Flower Concubine wave its hand, palm swirling with a purple-black orb of light, instantly wilting the surrounding flora.

Yet it quickly flipped its palms, which bloomed bright green light, covering the withered plants, making them rejuvenate and flourish.

This cycle repeated dozens of times, scaring the silently watching Lanwen Green Frog’s heart into a tremor, hastily jumping into the water.

This seemingly harmless little creature is definitely terrifying!

After listening to Lanwen Green Frog’s account, Abyssal Giant Toad paused its steps, earnestly examining the Twin Flower Concubine, whose sweet smile now seemed insidious and frightening.

To be cautious, Abyssal Giant Toad decided to choose another easy target.

Abyssal Giant Toad withdrew its gaze, leaving Twin Flower Concubine with a hint of disappointment, as it was eager to try out its newly learned Poison Skills from the past two days.

"Croak Croak."

Soon, Abyssal Giant Toad’s gaze landed on the Electric Flying Cat, whispering with Run Run Duck.

Being able to play with timid Run Run Duck, this Electric Flying Cat surely isn’t strong!

Abyssal Giant Toad was about to approach, but noticed the Electric Flying Cat’s cheeks flickering weak electrical currents now and then, clearing its eyes instantly.

As a Water-type Pet Beast, Abyssal Giant Toad understands the importance of attribute restraint better than many Beastmasters, so it silently paused its steps.

This frog can’t handle electricity today, better let this Electric Flying Cat go for now.

Continue finding another easy target!

Abyssal Giant Toad looked around, unconsciously skipping over the larger Fallen Meteor Horned Beast.

This guy seems difficult to mess with, there’s no need to battle it first.

As for those Bean Chickens and the Wood Spirit Rat family hiding in the back, Abyssal Giant Toad didn’t even bother to look; even defeating them wouldn’t earn any appreciation from the boss.

Ultimately, there’s only one Pet Beast left.

Abyssal Giant Toad looked towards the Steel-headed Ground Rat directly ahead, stepping forward.

This Steel-headed Ground Rat, like Little Yellow Frog, is also responsible for guarding the gate, and since Little Yellow Frog could be easily defeated by Run Run Duck, it concludes that the gatekeeping Pet Beasts aren’t formidable.

Furthermore, Abyssal Giant Toad knows a bit about Steel-headed Ground Rat; its proud sharp Steel Blade cannot harm it in the slightest, being entirely restrained by it.

With this thought crossing its mind, Abyssal Giant Toad slowly proceeded forward while observing if any frog would stop it and provide precious information.

But until Abyssal Giant Toad reached Iron Head, no frog came out to alert it, further confirming its judgment—this Iron Head responsible for guarding the gate indeed is an easy target.

Defeat it first, then teach the big dog and big bird a lesson!

Seeing Abyssal Giant Toad setting Iron Head as the battle target, a peculiar look flashed across Chen Yuan’s face.

After all the selection, it chose Iron Head, the one who trained the hardest and was best at offense, this Abyssal Giant Toad has really an eye for choice.

"You go and have a match with it." Chen Yuan spoke, looking towards Iron Head.

Iron Head trained persistently every day, without needing Chen Yuan’s supervision or guidance, and it had been practicing the same skill daily, just in time to use this battle to assess its progress and growth over this period.

"Krak."

Iron Head’s eyes were calm as it nodded slightly.

"Quack Quack!"

"Dian Dian!"

The little ones, seeing Iron Head in battle, cheered unanimously.

"Croak Croak Croak!"

A crowd of frogs, unwilling to be outdone, emitted loud frog cries, cheering for Captain Frog.

In no time, a cacophony of various sounds filled the air, prompting Wu Peng and Zeng Hui to cover their ears hastily.

It’s well-known that frog cries are loud and clear, audible from afar, and some frog-type Pet Beasts can learn skills similar to Sound Wave Skills, using their high-pitched cries for attacks.

"Don’t fight here, let’s change place."

Chen Yuan instructed, leading a group of Pet Beasts to an open area nearby, where he once battled with Zhuang Jianbai—an ideal battleground.
