scattered blue tiles, while the mountain stream twisted through jagged rocks like a silver chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This village, situated dozens of kilometers away from Xuanhe Village, was surrounded by mountains and meandering water, with insufficient flat land for development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being located in Qinling, Anchang Village rarely sees visits from foreign Beastmasters, its desolation and stillness just as before, even the wind carrying an old, decaying scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao San returned here with his wife and children yesterday, preparing to take his parents to Xuanhe Village for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old folks’ obsession with their homeland baffled Zhao San, persuasion failed after long attempts, leaving him sighing helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh well, Dad and Mom can’t part with their crops, and there’s a bunch of livestock to care for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can just come visit often.\" his wife advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao San sighed again: \"That’s the only option for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His business in Xuanhe Village was going very well, the income during this period felt like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he heard that upper management was very attentive to the development of Xuanhe Village, with rumors suggesting it could be upgraded from village to town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s understandable, given the continuous influx of foreign Beastmasters to Xuanhe Village, more outsiders seeking employment opportunities there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either renting storefronts for small businesses like Zhao San, or working in agritourism and supermarkets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unnoticed, Xuanhe Village had restarted street construction and expansion projects, with a batch of self-built houses springing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These constructions also provided numerous jobs, attracting workers which in turn boosted economic development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, many Pet Beasts joined the construction projects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, there’s a Pet Beast called Hammer Mountain Beast, an Earth Type, shaped like an anteater, its back covered with layered steel rock armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hammer Mountain Beast excelled at firming foundations, demolishing dangerous walls, and hoisting steel beams, requiring no pay, just three hearty meals a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Hammer Mountain Beast, many Pet Beasts helped in moving heavy objects, easing workloads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, with Pet Beasts joining various industries, many ordinary workers faced the toughest employment situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously competing with others for jobs, now possibly competing with a Pet Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I heard someone rented that old house?\" Zhao San suddenly recalled something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" His wife nodded, \"I heard they’re specifically picking Spirit Plants to sell outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not an easy job either.\" Zhao San sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had faced the Earth Bear directly, knowing better than most the terrifying nature of wild Pet Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wandering through dense forests seeking Spirit Plants could mean encountering many dangerous wild Pet Beasts, just thinking about it seemed daunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the kid not come back yet?\" Zhao San looked around but did not see Zhao’s figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife smiled, \"It’s rare for him to return, let him play with his little friends, just come home for meals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was Thursday, Zhao hadn’t found friends to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hung his head, kicking small stones by the roadside, muttering: \"Not fun, not fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no lively and cute Little Taotao here, no Puppy Team to take him around, it was utterly boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he thought of that majestic Gale Hunting Dog, Zhao’s face beamed with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom and Dad said the Gale Hunting Dog’s owner was their savior, hence the Gale Hunting Dog was considered half a savior... dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, Zhao would bring some fruits to honor the Gale Hunting Dog, gradually getting familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Gale Hunting Dog was in a good mood, it would take him for a stroll around the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhao chuckled, inadvertently kicking a small stone to an old house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered this old house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandparents, parents, and he had lived here before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was deserted now, no other villagers lived nearby, they moved away later, leaving this lonely old house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao slowly walked over, bent down to pick up the small stone, ready to head home when suddenly a voice came from behind the stone wall:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, this batch can be shipped out tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, this place is so secluded that it won’t attract any attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, ensuring timely delivery, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, they’ve picked the targets, all with pretty fur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, by the way, this batch includes a Wooden Panda cub, it’s of good quality, remember to fetch a high price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s all, hanging up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao’s eyes widened, scenes from cartoons flashing in his mind, realizing he stumbled upon an immense secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhao clenched the small stone, bending low, leaving quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the stone wall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man with a square face put his phone back in his pocket, suddenly noticing the Black Flame Dog beside him staring outside the wall, its limbs trembling slightly, tail tightly tucked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You useless dog, what’s wrong now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man cursed irritably, then opened the yard gate, looking left and right but seeing no suspicious figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed the door closed, glaring fiercely at the Black Flame Dog: \"Bark if someone comes by, stop being so useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place, though remote and hidden, had him securing a Black Flame Dog for guarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it scents strangers, the Black Flame Dog will start yapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But faced with its reprimanding owner, the Black Flame Dog did not respond, just kept staring at the stone wall.\u003C\u002Fp>",890,"2026-06-06T03:13:42.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ccfac3d250d1efe6c861c58a53408756e96dddc41e08533190f2c6771fe748c","beast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-chapter-261","beast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-chapter-259",313,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-cover.jpg"]
