The next day, early in the morning,

“Where are you going?” After packing his luggage, Chen Yuan and Chang Yuhuan prepared to continue their journey.

“Over there.” Liu Jinglan casually pointed in a direction.

“What a coincidence.” Chen Yuan smiled.

The direction Liu Jinglan was heading happened to be the same direction as the location of the Sunlight Wood.

“Then let’s go together.” Liu Jinglan took the initiative to suggest.

Chang Yuhuan's main purpose in entering the Flaming Mountain was to photograph natural scenery and wild pet beasts, and her secondary purpose was to temper the Water Spirit Turtle.

Liu Jinglan was even simpler. He came purely for Liu Jingyi's contracted pet beast. Now that this goal has been achieved, he only hopes to temper the Scarlet Flame Bull.

Moreover, Chen Yuan discovered one thing—the spiritual plant resources in Flaming Mountain are much less than those in the Qinling Mountains.

Most likely because of the extreme environment here, it is almost barren, with only a few fire-type and rock-type resources.

Most Beast Masters come to Flaming Mountain to temper their own pet beasts, and very few Beast Masters come here to find spiritual plants.

Liu Jingyi held the Scarlet Flame Eagle and sat on the back of the Scarlet Flame Bull. The three walked side by side, heading towards the depths of the Flaming Mountain.

The flames emerging from the cracked ground became ubiquitous, and every step had to be taken with extra caution.

However, before they had walked far, the four of them encountered a Beast Master who looked miserable.

As soon as this person saw them, he quickly said, “Don’t go any further.”

Liu Jinglan stopped the person and asked, “Brother, what happened ahead?”

“Alas.” The man sighed, “Trouble, trouble.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the Scarlet Flame Eagle in Liu Jingyi's arms. His pupils shrank, as if he had seen something very terrifying. His face showed fear, and he subconsciously took a half step back.

Then, he rubbed his eyes vigorously. When he saw the appearance of the Scarlet Flame Eagle clearly, his heart, which was beating rapidly, gradually calmed down: “You scared me to death. I thought it was those two guys.”

Liu Jinglan was puzzled and asked, “What exactly happened?”

The man let out a long breath, pointed at the Scarlet Flame Eagle in Liu Jingyi's arms, and explained in a very fast voice: “There is a Scarlet Flame Eagle, a Scarlet Flame Yang Eagle, that has gone crazy and is attacking every Beast Master and pet beast that passes by.”

“Attacks without any reason.”

“We didn’t provoke them at all.”

The Scarlet Flame Eagle and the Scarlet Flame Yang Eagle are actually the same species, but they are of different genders. The former is female and the latter is male, and the latter has a white crest of three feathers on its head.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan looked at the Scarlet Flame Eagle in Liu Jingyi's arms, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.

Liu Jinglan's expression gradually became serious: “What is the strength of these two guys?”

“Both are Tier 2.” The man replied.

Liu Jinglan nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Yuan: “The pet beast riot last night may have been caused by these two guys.”

“Are we still going to continue?”

Chen Yuan said without hesitation: “Of course.”

Two Tier 2 pet beasts are still within acceptable range.

“Okay!” Liu Jinglan grinned and gave Chen Yuan a thumbs up, “It seems that neither of us are people who back down in the face of difficulties.”

The man looked at the two, sighed deeply, but did not try to persuade them, but just reminded them: “Be careful, run away quickly if you encounter them.”

After saying this, he immediately moved to leave.

Liu Jinglan stared at his back and shouted loudly: “Thank you, brother.”

The man didn't even lift his head, just waved his hand.

Chen Yuan turned to look at Chang Yuhuan, who seemed to have anticipated what he was about to say and quickly replied: “Don’t ask me, of course I want to follow you.”

“With you two here, I feel very at ease.”

Liu Jinglan laughed loudly: “Then let’s go.”

But before long, Liu Jinglan quietly walked to Chen Yuan's side and said in a low voice: “I feel that it has something to do with the Scarlet Flame Eagle we picked up.”

Chen Yuan nodded.

This was exactly his guess—this Scarlet Flame Eagle that was picked up might be the cub of those two little guys.

Their cub is missing, they are furious, and they are wantonly attacking passing Beast Masters and pet beasts.

This was too coincidental, so coincidental that doubts arose in both of their hearts at the same time.

“Then what are you going to do?” Chen Yuan asked.

Liu Jinglan shrugged and replied: “We didn’t deliberately abduct this Scarlet Flame Eagle. We just happened to run into it and gave it something to eat.”

“As a result, this Scarlet Flame Eagle insisted on following my sister.”

Changing the subject, he said in a deep voice: “But if we encounter those two guys later, my Scarlet Flame Bull probably won’t be able to handle it.”

He had just become an Intermediate Beast Master and had not yet contracted a second pet beast. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to fight two enemies alone.

Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: “Don’t worry, you specially came to help last night. If you encounter trouble, I will also take action.”

Hearing this, Liu Jinglan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed: “That’s too embarrassing. I didn’t help at all.”

But the next second, he grinned: “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Chen Yuan smiled dumbly.

This personality must be very compatible with Zhang Hao.

The four continued to move forward, having already entered the core area of ​​the Flaming Mountain. The red mountain range stretched before them, with raging flames several meters high rising above the mountain peaks, which was very eye-catching.

Chang Yuhuan suddenly reached out and pointed forward: “I saw that kind of wood here.”

Chen Yuan looked up—the area pointed to by Chang Yuhuan’s hand was just below the red mountain range.

He walked in quickly and saw a not-so-long brown wood lying on the barren land not far away. A layer of light orange flames surged on the surface of the wood, which was a spectacle.

Chen Yuan's face showed joy: “I finally found it.”

He had unlocked the advancement conditions for Spark a long time ago, but only now did he actually see Sunlight Wood.

As long as he finds another one, Spark can successfully advance.

Liu Jinglan stared at the Sunlight Wood for a while, then suddenly patted Chen Yuan's arm: “This wood is just placed here like this, don’t you think something is wrong?”

Liu Jinglan's reminder immediately woke Chen Yuan up.

That's right, Sunlight Wood is a Tier 3 resource, which is very beneficial to fire-type pet beasts and will definitely be fiercely contested.

It must be strange to just put it here.

“Screech—!!!”

At this moment, an extremely penetrating scream suddenly sounded from the high altitude. Then, two golden figures swept across the sky one after the other, casting shadows with their unfolded wings and rushing towards the Sunlight Wood at extreme speed.

After a while,

Two figures landed steadily on the Sunlight Wood, their sharp eyes scanning the crowd.

“Okay, this Sunlight Wood really has an owner.” Chen Yuan sighed helplessly.

“Isn’t this the Scarlet Flame Eagle and the Scarlet Flame Yang Eagle?” Liu Jinglan suddenly shrank his pupils and said blankly.

At this moment, the Scarlet Flame Eagle and the Scarlet Flame Yang Eagle originally wanted to drive away the four people who were staring at the Sunlight Wood, but suddenly they saw the petite figure in Liu Jingyi's arms. They were stunned at first, and then became furious.

“Screech!”

They roared in fury, violently flapping their golden wings, stirring up a gust of wind, and then took flight, attacking Chen Yuan and the others.

A strong sense of oppression instantly crashed down.

Then, seeing that these two fellows were not targeting the three people standing in front, but instead flying straight towards Liu Jingyi, Chen Yuan and Liu Jinglan exchanged a glance and immediately understood.

"We seem to have walked right into their trap," Liu Jinglan said in a strange tone, but suddenly realized, "Crimson Flame Ox, block them."

"Moo ~"

The Crimson Flame Ox's eyes narrowed, sparks spewed from its nose, and it rumbled as it stomped the ground, striding out and spraying a surge of raging flames towards the attacking Fiery Flame Eagle and Fiery Flame Yang Eagle.

Chen Yuan immediately spoke out: "Spark, help out too."

"Chirp!"

Spark spread its wings and its cold gaze directly locked onto the Fiery Flame Yang Eagle, whose aura was obviously stronger. Flames surged from its wings, and without dodging, it charged forward head-on.

Bang!

The Fiery Flame Yang Eagle was very angry at this fellow who had suddenly appeared. Its hard, golden feathers were like knives and swords, flashing with a sharp white light as it slashed at Spark!

"Chirp!"

Spark dodged to the side, waving its wings surging with flames to retaliate.

At the same time,

Liu Jinglan quickly walked to Liu Jingyi's side, who looked bewildered. He glanced at the Fiery Flame Eagle cub in her arms, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "This Fiery Flame Eagle should be their cub."

"For some reason, this Fiery Flame Eagle got separated from them and we found it."

"So they are very angry now and want to get their child back, right?" Liu Jingyi tightly hugged the Fiery Flame Eagle cub, raised her head to look at Liu Jinglan, and her emotions visibly began to drop.

"Yes." Liu Jinglan nodded first, but when he saw the aggrieved look in his younger sister's eyes, he bit his teeth and said, "If you don't want to, I will work with Chen Yuan to drive away these two annoying fellows and forcibly take it away."

Liu Jingyi did not respond. She lowered her eyes and quietly looked at the Fiery Flame Eagle cub in her arms.

This cub was very, very small, just a little dot compared to its parents.

"Scree?"

The Fiery Flame Eagle cub tilted its head, its eyes seemed to flash with golden flames, and it rubbed its wings against the depressed Liu Jingyi.

Liu Jingyi pursed her lips and reached out a finger to lightly tap the Fiery Flame Eagle cub's head. The latter immediately seemed to have a mysterious switch turned on, sometimes lowering its head and sometimes raising its head to touch her finger.

When Liu Jingyi withdrew her finger, it quickly stretched out its head to chase after her finger.

Seeing the intimate interaction between the girl and the pet, Liu Jinglan let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand. Your older brother will take responsibility for this matter."

Liu Jinglan turned around, but a firm voice came from behind him: "No."

Liu Jinglan turned around.

Liu Jingyi held up the Fiery Flame Eagle cub high, her young and innocent face showing determination: "Brother, let it reunite with its mom and dad."

"If we got lost, mom and dad would be very sad too."

Liu Jinglan took a deep look at Liu Jingyi, then nodded: "Okay."

But at this moment, the Fiery Flame Eagle and the Fiery Flame Yang Eagle were already fighting with bloodshot eyes.

The Crimson Flame Ox's process of resisting the Fiery Flame Eagle was not smooth. The latter was extremely agile, flying in mid-air and able to avoid most of the Crimson Flame Ox's skills.

On the other hand,

Spark and the Fiery Flame Yang Eagle collided fiercely in mid-air, their cries constantly ringing out, flames surging, and feathers falling.

"You guys stop fighting!"

Liu Jingyi raised the Fiery Flame Eagle cub high and shouted loudly.

The Fiery Flame Eagle cub, which was being held up, perhaps thought this was very fun, and vigorously flapped its wings, making a tender cry.

However, the Fiery Flame Eagle and Fiery Flame Yang Eagle, who were fighting with bloodshot eyes, ignored her.

Helpless, Liu Jingyi had to turn the Fiery Flame Eagle cub around, and said with a serious expression: "Go persuade your parents."

"Scree?"

The Fiery Flame Eagle cub didn't understand, and just blinked its eyes.

Chen Yuan suddenly spoke: "I am very familiar with this situation."

The confrontation with Bear Dad back then was roughly similar to the current situation.

"Just let them calm down." He added.

The more pet beasts he came into contact with, the more he understood the importance of cubs to each pet beast.

Don't try to reason with them when they are angry.

"Cola, go help."

"Awoo!"

Cola, who had been eager to move, strode out, surrounded by a breeze, and decisively chose to help the Crimson Flame Ox.

"Awoo ~"

Cola's figure was light and its movements were agile. Suddenly, it leaped up, jumped onto the Crimson Flame Ox's back, and then used it as a springboard to leap high!

In this instant, Cola seemed to have grown a pair of wings and flew into the air. Its face was excited as it bit towards the Fiery Flame Eagle, which was close at hand!

The next moment, Cola bit the Fiery Flame Eagle's wing!

"Scree!"

Its wing hurt, the Fiery Flame Eagle struggled angrily, but was bitten tightly by Cola and dragged straight down towards the ground.

Bang!

Two figures fell to the ground at the same time, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After a while,

The dust dissipated, Cola shook its head, spat out the dust in its mouth, and nimbly got up, while stepping on the Fiery Flame Eagle's wing.

This set of operations was so smooth that the three people besides Chen Yuan were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the high-spirited Cola.

At the same time,

Seeing the Fiery Flame Eagle injured, the Fiery Flame Yang Eagle suddenly became anxious, and flew away from the fierce battle with Spark, trying to carry out a rescue.

But Spark seized the opportunity, flames covering its entire body, and its momentum soared as it suddenly charged!

Boom!

The flame energy raid accurately hit the Fiery Flame Yang Eagle. Accompanied by a mournful cry, the Fiery Flame Yang Eagle fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.

At this time, Liu Jingyi pulled on Liu Jinglan's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother, why do I feel that Brother Chen Yuan is so much more powerful than you?"

Liu Jinglan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word to refute for a long time.

A Tier 2 Flame Cloud Falcon and a Tier 2 Gale Hunting Dog, even the most talented beastmasters in their academy didn't have such a powerful lineup.

Liu Jinglan had no choice but to say in a low voice: "He is a beastmaster from a big city, he must be more powerful than me."

Liu Jingyi tilted her head: "But I heard him talking to Sister Yuhuan and saying that he is just a forest ranger."

"A forest ranger? Absolutely impossible!" Liu Jinglan shook his head decisively, and suddenly pointed to the stones on the ground, "If he is a forest ranger, I will eat all these stones."

Hearing this, Liu Jingyi turned her head to look at Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen Yuan, I remember you said last night that you were a forest ranger and lived in the Qinling Mountains."

Chen Yuan returned with a smile: "Yes, welcome to the Qinling Mountains as guests, I will take you to play with the pet beasts in the mountains."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Jinglan squatting down silently, with his back to him, his back looking lonely.

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Liu Jinglan didn't turn his head back: "I'm hungry, I'm eating some stones."
