Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

It’s better to lose a tail than to lose one’s life for the Cold-Biting Ox.

"Moo....."

Staring at the small Fire-breathing Bird, whose cold breath could engulf it entirely, the Cold-Biting Ox shivered upon realizing its intentions.

How could this Fire-breathing Bird possibly carry me off into flight?

The Cold-Biting Ox was extremely terrified, its body trembling violently, yet no better solution was in sight.

"Meow～"

With a command from Chen Yuan, the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat cautiously controlled its Spiritual Power, enveloping the entire body of the Cold-Biting Ox, and gradually lifted it.

Under the tense watch of everyone, the Cold-Biting Ox gradually ascended, slowly moving away from the steep slope.

However, to return to the herd of Cold-Biting Oxen, it still needed to ascend at least ten more meters.

The Cold-Biting Ox forcibly suppressed its internal fear, trying to restrain its struggling body to avoid adding any more burden to the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat.

"Meow....."

Yet as it put its whole heart into the effort, the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat soon felt its Spiritual Power quickly draining, and the ascent of the Cold-Biting Ox slow down.

Chen Yuan noticed the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat’s reaction and told Cola, "Start now."

"Awo!"

Excited for its turn to shine, Cola responded energetically, as a fierce wind suddenly swirled around it, rushing in from all directions.

Wind, such strong wind.

The fierce wind whipped up snowflakes, slapping everyone’s faces; they could not help but be affected by it, their bodies swayed, almost unable to stand.

Seeing this scene, the tall, skinny student suddenly widened his eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Black Flame Dog was so afraid of this Gale Hunting Dog.

The sudden gust lifted the snow and dust, its formidable force elevating the Cold-Biting Ox several meters high in an instant.

"Meow....."

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat sighed with relief, retracting its Spiritual Power after a moment, breathing lightly while tapping Jiang Wenning, its servant, with its fluffy tail.

In the eyes of the great cat clan, the owner equals a servant.

Jiang Wenning took out a cat treat from his pocket and squatted down to let the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat savor it.

"Meow～"

The taste of the cat treat made the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat squint with enjoyment, its tail wagging uncontrollably, while its once-diminished Spiritual Power surged like a parched land meeting a sudden rain.

It was ready to continue rescuing the unfortunate Cold-Biting Ox.

But as the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat looked up, it saw the Cold-Biting Ox being lifted higher by the wind, and was about to land successfully.

"Meow?"

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat was momentarily stunned.

Do I not need to intervene anymore?

The daze lasted only a moment before the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat turned its head to gaze at Jiang Wenning, its heterochromatic eyes fixed intently on the cat treat, tapping it gently with its tail.

Compared to rescuing the foolish Pet Beast, it much preferred to laze around and enjoy the delicious cat treat.

"Awo awo～"

Seeing the Cold-Biting Ox getting closer to the ground, distance to safety closing, Cola’s enthusiasm soared as the wind grew more intense.

Since starting to learn flying, Cola’s training hours increased significantly, and its control over Wind Type abilities improved swiftly.

Combined with the already fierce wind, it was able to rapidly elevate the Cold-Biting Ox.

Looking around, though the wind was invisible, the stirred snowflakes sketched the shape of the wind vividly, like a snow tornado engulfing and lifting the Cold-Biting Ox.

For a moment, the scene was grand and overwhelming.

Chen Yuan stroked his chin, muttering to himself, "Seems like I underestimated Cola."

The original plan was to let Cola and the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat work together, with Spark as a backup; unexpectedly, Cola managed on its own.

"Moo moo moo~"

Seeing the Cold-Biting Ox completely lifted away from the steep slope and land safely, the herd of Cold-Biting Oxen cried out in excitement, the Cold Breath mingling with the fierce wind, creating a scene of chill wind matching the excitement.

"Moo..."

The Cold-Biting Ox lay on the ground, seemingly still engulfed in the fear and panic of its near fall, its body trembling violently, long unable to calm down.

Fortunately, the Cold-Biting Oxen flocked to celebrate its narrow escape, and the rising and falling calls gradually broke through its fear, allowing it to finally stand.

"Moo~"

Subsequently, with their leader, the Cold-Biting Oxen turned towards the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat and Cola, bowing their heads in a gesture of gratitude.

"Awo~"

Cola faced the grateful herd, slightly lifting its head and putting on a nonchalant facade, though the tail wagging revealed its little excitement at the moment.

For Cola, saving a hapless Cold-Biting Ox was nice, but stealing the limelight in front of so many people and Pet Beasts was the real victory.

This time, I had a bigger role than the boss!

Simply put, that makes me better than the boss!

Watching the Cold-Biting Oxen, Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "Now will you make way?"

"Moo!"

The leader of the Cold-Biting Oxen roared, and the others shook their tails, slowly moving forward.

Before long, the narrow path became clear.

"Let’s go."

Having successfully resolved the unexpected situation, Chen Yuan moved forward, the other three following closely.

"Brother, can we have a battle?"

At this moment, four students caught up, their eyes fixed on Cola, whose face bore a calm expression, silently marveling at the maturity and steady temperament of the Gale Hunting Dog, while challenging Chen Yuan to a Pet Beast battle.

Chen Yuan seemed to have expected this, not turning his head, he succinctly said, "We’re mountain climbing, not battling."

He had heard from Jiang Wenning that Combat Type students would participate in a practical course, which included challenging a certain number of Beastmasters and conducting reviews after battles, writing their reflections.

This is why these students had a far greater desire for battles than ordinary Beastmasters. Upon discovering a competent Beastmaster, they would immediately launch a challenge.
