Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

"Blazing Flame Flower?" Chen Yuan looked up in surprise.

"Yes, Advisor Chen." Zhou Xu’s voice was steady and powerful, "It’s the Blazing Flame Flower you’ve asked me to keep an eye on. Based on your description, I checked all similar Spirit Plants recently and finally got some intel yesterday."

"I’ve sent you the details of the intel in a document."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan opened the document.

After a long while, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes flickering: "It’s Flame Mountain again, in Fire State."

According to the intel collected by Zhou Xu, Flame Mountain showed abnormal signs a week ago. The originally surging flames at the mountain’s peak erupted like a volcanic explosion, spreading in all directions, and clusters of fire rained irregularly on various areas of Flame Mountain, simultaneously churning out countless fire attribute Spirit Plants.

Though the mountain fire was raging, wild Pet Beasts and Beastmasters competed for these Spirit Plants, causing the originally calm Flame Mountain to be in turmoil overnight.

Among these, there was a Spirit Plant suspected to be the Blazing Flame Flower.

This Spirit Plant was discovered and picked by a Beastmaster. It was as large as a water basin with nine blooming leaves, each of an incredibly vibrant fiery red, while the stigma burned with an unextinguishable flame.

Its appearance was almost identical to the Blazing Flame Flower, and Chen Yuan quickly concluded: this is the advancement resource Spark needs, the Blazing Flame Flower.

There was just one interesting coincidence: in the past, Fiery Sun Wood appeared on Flame Mountain, and now the Blazing Flame Flower also grows here.

Could it be that Flame Mountain has a mystical connection with Spark?

Might it be necessary to return here for future advancements?

With the thought flying by, Chen Yuan quickly opened a group chat and mentioned Liu Jinglan: "I’ve heard there’s something happening with Flame Mountain recently?"

Liu Jinglan, evidently with his phone at hand, responded almost instantly: "You know about it too?"

After a brief pause, he continued: "Ever since you revealed the secret of the flames at the summit, a large number of Beastmasters have flocked there. They are using the flames to forge their Pet Beasts while searching for the Spirit Plants hidden within the flames."

"But few Beastmasters have the ability and skill; most Beastmasters aren’t as capable as you and I, and they can only watch the mountain fire from afar and sigh."

"Until a week ago, when this happened, the mountain fire mixed with Spirit Plants fell to the ground, and Beastmasters started fighting over these Spirit Plants. It’s said that the city’s Pet Beast hospital was overcrowded, and several serious conflict incidents occurred."

"And then?" Chen Yuan asked.

Liu Jinglan replied: "Then the Beastmaster Association forcibly intervened and temporarily took over for a while."

"However, leaving these ground fires unattended is not an option. The continuous burning of the mountain fire is highly likely to damage Flame Mountain’s ecological environment, making the environment harsher and squeezing the living space of wild Pet Beasts."

"More importantly, these mountain fires have given rise to a brand-new life form, a Fire-type Pet Beast called the Wandering Fire Ash Spirit, very special."

"If I had to describe it, I think the Wandering Fire Ash Spirit is much like the elemental creatures from fantasy novels; they have no solid body."

"These Pet Beasts are born along with the mountain fire, and for some reason, their nature seems to have become extremely irritable, causing injuries to quite a few Beastmasters who were attacked by them."

At this point, Liu Jingyi suddenly chimed in: "So the Beastmaster Association plans to hold a mountain fire clearing competition in two days, encouraging Beastmasters to enter Flame Mountain and use various methods to extinguish the mountain fire."

"Fire-type Pet Beasts can absorb the flames, while Water-type or Earth-type Pet Beasts can extinguish the flames."

"The more mountain fire cleared, the more points you earn."

"In addition, defeating a Wandering Fire Ash Spirit also earns points."

"Combining both, the Beastmaster teams ranked at the top of the score leaderboard will receive rewards from the Beastmaster Association."

Chen Yuan keenly caught a keyword: "Teams?"

"Yes." Liu Jinglan took over the topic to explain, "Because Flame Mountain is fraught with danger now, individual entry is not allowed. Participation in this competition must be in the form of a team."

"A team can have up to four members."

"My sister and I are looking for teammates, Advisor Chen, how about joining us?"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Chen Yuan replied: "Sure."

Since it was known that there was a Blazing Flame Flower on Flame Mountain, he had to seize the time and obtain it quickly, lest dreams be long and troubled.

After all, the other resource needed for Spark’s advancement, the Starlight Stone, had long been acquired; now only the Blazing Flame Flower was missing.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered: "Moreover, Spark’s advancement requires using Spirit Plants in a place of burning flames, and Flame Mountain is just the right place."

"Indeed, Flame Mountain has a special fate with Spark."

Seeing the words "Sure" pop up on the phone screen, Liu Jinglan’s face showed joy.

He was having a headache finding teammates to join the competition, especially since his little sister was insisting on participating, he had to find two strong teammates.

Firstly, to strive for a good ranking, and secondly, to ensure his little sister’s safety.

This Advisor Chen, who is far away in Qin Province, was undoubtedly the most suitable teammate, and even a powerful ally.

As long as he could recruit Advisor Chen into the team, whoever the other members were would not matter; just holding onto this alliance was enough.

Just then, the usually silent Chang Yuhuan also sent a message: "1."

Thus, the original four-member Flame Mountain group was reunited due to the mountain fire clearing competition, agreeing to enter Flame Mountain in two days.

Liu Jinglan was in charge of registration, while Chen Yuan purchased a ticket to fly to Fire State the next day and began handling things before leaving.

"This trip, if all goes well, shouldn’t take too long."

"Everything at the farm remains the same, let Duck help to keep an eye on the little ones, especially the Electric Flying Cat."

"Although there might be some trouble with the Forest Rangers..." Chen Yuan murmured softly.
