Although he did not have claustrophobia, he was still a bit afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He attempted to get up to inspect the surroundings but found himself entangled by layers of fine lines, unable to move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, not fine lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the spider silk woven by the Black-striped Spiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the earlier events, Wu Peng felt a bit vexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Zeng Hui were ambushed by a group of Black-striped Spiders. Both of them and their Pet Beasts were ensnared by spider silk and eventually brought here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, where’s Zeng Hui?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zeng Hui, Zeng Hui, are you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Peng loudly called his companion’s name, his voice echoing in the cave. After a while, a raspy voice finally emerged beside his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\" Wu Peng asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems we’re trapped here, and the Pet Beasts were taken somewhere unknown.\" Wu Peng struggled for a while; however, he couldn’t break free from the tough spider silk’s constraints, finally accepting the harsh reality, \"It’s all my fault for letting you come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just woken up, Zeng Hui gradually regained clarity. Though angry about the earlier events, hearing Wu Peng’s words, he sighed deeply: \"No one to blame. It’s just our strength that’s lacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\" Hearing this, Zeng Peng nodded in deep agreement, \"Being weak is the original sin. If it were Advisor Chen here, these Black-striped Spiders would be no match for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zeng Hui said nothing, remaining silent for a long while, finally squeezing out the words: \"Do you think we’ll get eaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wu Peng could answer, a snigger unexpectedly echoed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark, gloomy cave, the sudden occurrence of an untraceable eerie laugh startled both of them, causing goosebumps to rise all over; Zeng Hui’s face turned pale, and he stammered, \"Are... are you a person or a ghost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Beastmasters; why are you afraid of ghosts?\" the person said in a tone laced with laughter, continuing, \"Relax, I’m just another unlucky soul like you, but I got trapped here two days before you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that statement, he cursed and complained, \"Damn, finally seeing a living person. Two days without talking; it’s driving me crazy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Zeng Hui and Wu Peng exhaled in relief, and even secretly felt a sense of solace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out, they weren’t the only unlucky ones...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought clicked, prompting Wu Peng to ask, \"Dude, what should we call you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just call me Tian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tian, what was that laugh about?\" Wu Peng pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian replied, \"I just found your conversation amusing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, he explained, \"Rest assured, the Black-striped Spiders don’t eat humans; they just use you as practice tools for their skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practice tools for skills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement knitted Wu Peng’s brows in confusion. Pondering for a while didn’t bring any enlightenment, so he decisively asked, \"Could you elaborate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\" As if being conversation-starved for long, Tian burst forth with sentence after sentence, \"You’ve already witnessed their spider silk, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t it incredibly tough, giving you a real headache?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark, both men nodded furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The impressive silk-spitting abilities these Black-striped Spiders possess are all honed through practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Tian paused slightly, as if he was deep in memory or phrasing his words carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he spoke again, his voice carried discernible fear: \"These Black-striped Spiders consider us as training tools for their silk-spitting, repeatedly binding you with spider silk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this process, you can’t resist and can only watch as a group of Black-striped Spiders gathers around you, ensnaring you in strand after strand of spider silk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They might even let you escape, spewing silk at you as you run at high speed to practice accuracy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Peng remained silent for a long time, eventually blurting out a sentence: \"What... what dedicated Black-striped Spiders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This training vigor surpassed even his own efforts as a Beastmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about our Pet Beasts?\" Zeng Hui only concerned himself with the whereabouts of their Pet Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Faced with the same fate as ours,\" Tian replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long stretch, they all lingered in prolonged silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, Tian unexpectedly asked, \"Is there anyone among you who is a mid-level Beastmaster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or have a Tier Two Fire-type Pet Beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Peng shook his head, \"I’m a mid-level Beastmaster, but I don’t have a Fire-type Pet Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Hui said nothing, yet his silence was an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Figures; if you had a Tier Two Fire-type Pet Beast, you wouldn’t have been caught.\" Tian chuckled, \"Then, let’s quietly await fate’s verdict.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See if we can encounter a Beastmaster with a Tier Two Fire-type Pet Beast who enters this cave and rescues us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing this sentence, Tian shook his head, \"That won’t work either; there’re too many of these Black-striped Spiders. One won’t be enough; we’d need at least two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stressed, \"Two Tier Two Fire-type Pet Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his tone was filled with laughter, both men could sense the madness hidden deep within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Beastmaster, captured before them, was already on the brink of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Peng showed a bitter smile, \"In Fire State there might be such a Beastmaster, but around here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we just wait to die, no big deal,\" Tian replied offhandedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark cave plunged them back into silence again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until... the sound of battle wafted into their ears, causing the three of them to suddenly look up, gazing into the pitch-black ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone’s entered the cave.\" Hope shone brightly in Wu Peng’s eyes, \"They must be fighting the Black-striped Spiders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Hui was staring intensely ahead; despite seeing nothing, he felt an unprecedented tension and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian faintly smiled, \"I once reacted the same way as you, yearning for someone to rescue us until...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until you were caught too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, he stated, \"Would you say this might be more poor souls like us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soon enough, we might have more folks to chat with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, sounds good when you think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Peng frowned, \"Are you really this pessimistic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else would you suggest?\" Tian queried back, \"Really counting on a powerful Beastmaster to save us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up, this isn’t a novel, nor a movie; heroes don’t fall from the sky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, a surge of brilliant firelight suddenly illuminated the entire cave.\u003C\u002Fp>",1409,"2026-06-06T03:13:42.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","a559d4270ee767fff20d880d242393eab3370ef01b653fc1919b40f14eb278fa","beast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-chapter-139","beast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-chapter-138",313,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-cover.jpg"]
