Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

The little fellows on the farm and a group of frogs took their places, surrounding the battlefield, while Wu Peng and Zeng Hui squeezed into the corner to watch.

"Who do you think will win?"

Gazing at the opposing Steel-headed Ground Rat and Abyssal Giant Toad, Zeng Hui lowered his voice and asked.

Wu Peng mused aloud, "This Abyssal Giant Toad looks quite confident; its strength shouldn’t be underestimated."

After a slight pause, he examined the steadfast Steel-headed Ground Rat standing on the ground, his eyes flickering. "Although Steel-headed Ground Rat hasn’t been contracted by Advisor Chen, its strength is definitely not on par with Flame Cloud Falcon and Gale Hunting Dog, but under Advisor Chen’s guidance, it won’t be far off in combat prowess."

"So I think it’s fifty-fifty."

Their whispered conversation was clearly heard by the Abyssal Giant Toad, who couldn’t help but shake its head.

Fifty-fifty?

Just a gatekeeper, how could it be fifty-fifty with me?

Watch as I defeat it with a single strike!

With a flash of thought, the Abyssal Giant Toad let out a deep croak, its hind leg muscles tensed abruptly, and its blue-gray skin rippled with waves.

In an instant,

Its seemingly massive and heavy body launched like an inflatable fortress, showcasing a surprisingly superb jump that belied its size, kicking up a large cloud of dust behind.

The Abyssal Giant Toad chose to take the initiative in the attack.

"Quack!"

The frog’s croak was loud as Chen Yuan lifted his head, clearly seeing the Abyssal Giant Toad leaping into the air, its enormous body casting a shadow over a large part of the field.

Chen Yuan remained silent, quietly gazing at the Steel-headed Ground Rat.

He hadn’t contracted with the Steel-headed Ground Rat, so he couldn’t use Mind Sensing to command in real-time, choosing instead to stay silent to avoid affecting the Steel-headed Ground Rat’s judgment.

At that fleeting moment, the Abyssal Giant Toad descended like a mountain on the Steel-headed Ground Rat, a fierce gust of wind whipping around, the strong sense of oppression brought by its gigantic body made the Steel-headed Ground Rat squint its semicircular eyes.

The Abyssal Giant Toad got closer and closer, its shadow completely shrouding the Steel-headed Ground Rat. Yet, the latter was unhurried, flipping sideways just before it was about to be crushed.

Bang!

The next moment, the Abyssal Giant Toad, like a cannonball, smashed into the place where the Steel-headed Ground Rat had just been, the terrifying impact creating a deep pit and sending clouds of dust billowing outwards.

"Quack..."

Run Run Duck’s eyelids twitched, more convinced than ever that its earlier decision was absolutely correct.

If it had been hit by this Abyssal Giant Toad, wouldn’t it die?

It definitely would die!

Watching the Abyssal Giant Toad land on the ground, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered.

Despite its large and heavy body, it could unleash amazing jumping power and speed. This Abyssal Giant Toad was indeed incredible.

But even so, it posed no threat to the Steel-headed Ground Rat.

"Quack."

Seeing the Steel-headed Ground Rat easily avoid its sudden strike, the Abyssal Giant Toad’s gaze sharpened, instantly shifting tactics.

Standing still, the Abyssal Giant Toad suddenly shot out its crimson long tongue, sweeping through the air towards the Steel-headed Ground Rat!

The speed of the attacking long tongue was beyond sight, and it was incredibly agile under the control of the Abyssal Giant Toad, wrapping around the Steel-headed Ground Rat’s waist and abdomen no matter how it dodged, a faint sense of paralysis spreading throughout, rendering it motionless.

Spitting out its tongue to ensnare the opponent was the most commonly used attack method of frog-type pet beasts.

And their tongues carried a paralyzing effect, enabling them to better bind the opponent and launch more ferocious attacks.

"Quack!"

Seeing its attack succeed, the Abyssal Giant Toad was overjoyed, thinking to itself that this gatekeeper was indeed no match for it, and it seemed it could soon defeat it.

"Uh this..."

Seeing the Steel-headed Ground Rat bound by the long tongue, the two spectators were momentarily speechless.

At this point, it seemed the Steel-headed Ground Rat was already in a bind, making a comeback seemed incredibly difficult.

"Moreover, there’s another fatal point." Wu Peng’s expression grew a bit more serious, speaking in a deep voice, "The Abyssal Giant Toad’s attack power is actually quite average, what’s really formidable is its defense. Its subcutaneous fat layer is very thick, able to block most physical attacks."

"The Steel-headed Ground Rat’s most adept physical attacks have little effect against it."

Zeng Hui muttered in stupefaction, "Are we about to witness Advisor Chen’s first defeat?"

After saying this, he coughed lightly and pressed his voice to the lowest, "Shall we leave quickly? Pretend we didn’t see what happened today."

Wu Peng gave him a sidelong glance, shaking his head, "What are you afraid of, the Steel-headed Ground Rat isn’t Advisor Chen’s Contracted Pet Beast."

"Even stepping back a thousand steps, Advisor Chen isn’t likely to silence us."

As they conversed, the Abyssal Giant Toad continued its pursuit, quickly retracting its long tongue, just waiting for the Steel-headed Ground Rat ensnared by it to get closer, then it would launch a final blow without hesitation.

"Quack Quack!"

The Abyssal Giant Toad could already envision the scene of the Steel-headed Ground Rat being knocked away by itself.

Suddenly, it felt a fierce chill sweep over, causing it to shiver inexplicably.

Looking up, it saw the Steel-headed Ground Rat, bound by its long tongue, with sharp eyes, a cold glint flashing from the blade in front, a sharp aura extending along the tongue.

At that instant, the Abyssal Giant Toad felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, its crimson long tongue uncontrollably releasing the Steel-headed Ground Rat, quickly retracting into its mouth.

And at this moment, the distance between the two was less than a meter.

Gazing directly at the Abyssal Giant Toad before it, through two rounds of confrontation, the Steel-headed Ground Rat had already seen through the latter’s weaknesses and flaws, its sharp Steel Blade ready to strike.

Lowering its body, the blade reflected the plump belly of the Abyssal Giant Toad in its surface—what looked like a thick mass of fat, invincible, was actually paper-thin against the tempered Steel Blade.

This was the Steel Blade that Iron Head had trained with unwaveringly, the blade that shattered over a hundred stones, the Steel Blade destined to one day cleave a mountain.

This was the perfect mastery level Steel Blade.

"Clack!"

The Steel-headed Ground Rat thrust forward, its dual blades like surgical scalpels precisely piercing the belly of the Abyssal Giant Toad, a sharp white light bursting forth, a sharp aura circulating.

In the next moment, the Abyssal Giant Toad’s eyes widened, looking down in disbelief.

Its prideful thick fat seemed to turn to paper before the Steel Blade, easily pierced.

A tremendous pain spread rapidly from its belly, the Abyssal Giant Toad let out a shrill frog scream uncontrollably, "Quack!"

This... something is wrong!

The Steel-headed Ground Rat glanced up, eyes calm, rapidly withdrawing the blades and leaping back, watching as the Abyssal Giant Toad collapsed like a mountain.

For a moment, the field and its surroundings fell into dead silence, the once noisy frogs seemingly muted, stupefied in place.

"Quack quack quack!"

Run Run Duck’s call eventually broke the deathly silence.

Let you bully me, Duck!

If you want to challenge me, first defeat Iron Head!

At this moment, sparks flew above Run Run Duck’s head, with Cola standing beside, and before it, the Steel-headed Ground Rat who had knocked out the Abyssal Giant Toad with one blow, its smile smug and arrogant.
