He had already devised a plan — let the Twin Flower Concubine build a good relationship with them first, and then offer them \"food and lodging,\" sure to entice the Wood Spirit Rats’ family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it turned out the Twin Flower Concubine only needed to beckon with a finger, and the Wood Spirit Rat family became so enchanted, they obediently followed her to the farm and diligently started gardening work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan’s grand strategy was never used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Wood Spirit Rat family had four members, two large and two small ones, all with mundane Tier One power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like most Wood-type Pet Beasts, the Wood Spirit Rats weren’t strong, mostly mastering skills of healing and control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Maosheng], a skill most Wood-type Pet Beasts possess, can accelerate plant growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Vine Swing], can summon vines from the ground to wrap around an opponent’s lower body, causing a brief immobilizing effect, and inflicting some damage to heavy Pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forest Spirit Escape Shadow], can blend into surrounding vegetation to enter an invisible state, avoiding detection by predators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, these skills couldn’t withstand well-equipped and vicious poachers, thus making them easy to capture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as an excellent farm owner, Chen Yuan treated all his employees equally; he took out a pile of nuts from his pocket and placed them in front of the Wood Spirit Rat family: \"Here, your payment for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wood Spirit Rats eagerly grabbed the nuts, then hopped to a tall Camphor Tree, using the dense foliage to hide themselves and start eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had been on the farm for nearly a week, the Wood Spirit Rat family usually stayed up in the trees, communicating very little with the other small creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only interacted with the Twin Flower Concubine in the morning and disappeared the rest of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they worked diligently and honestly, Chen Yuan wouldn’t interfere with their lifestyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the arrival of the Wood Spirit Rat family significantly sped up the Spirit Plant growth and eased the workload of the Twin Flower Concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a week, several Spirit Plants were on the verge of maturity, and many saplings had grown into trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The promotion offered by Water-type Pet Beasts and Wood-type Pet Beasts to Spirit Plants was greater than Chen Yuan had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the mysterious Far Traveling Frog often stopped by to exchange Spirit Plants with Run Run Duck, and Duck ate several lotus leaves, greatly improving the water quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan estimated that soon, the water streamed by Duck could be directly consumed as purified water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spark, Cola, prepare for departure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing up, Chen Yuan called Spark and Cola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For long trips, it wasn’t convenient to bring other little creatures; besides Spark and Cola, only the Twin Flower Concubine could accompany him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His itinerary planned to reach Phoenix City tomorrow, the exam subject tomorrow, and the day after to pick up his younger brother and his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the long-awaited Qinling research trip was about to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing was perfect; he would stay in Phoenix City to welcome them, and then they’d return together to Baokun City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His younger brother and Jiang Wenning both mentioned they got surprises waiting for him, though he had to meet them to get it, which made Chen Yuan very curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could his brother, with his personality, think of giving surprises?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, meeting with Jiang Wenning, after being online friends for a while, a greeting gift is completely normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he guessed what the two surprises might be, he called his small creatures over: \"We’re going out for a few days, during this time it’s up to you to guard the farm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Head’s eyes sparkled; always the first to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don’t manage the farm well, it’ll face the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Run Run Duck and Electric Flying Cat exchanged a glance, simultaneously seeing excitement in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the farm owner gone, and the leader with Cola gone, the entire farm belonged to the two little ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main threat, Iron Head, was busy guarding the gate, while the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, Wood Spirit Rats, Cold-Biting Ox, and Bean Chicken posed no threat to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fruits in the yard, snacks in the room, were all theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to turn the tables!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dian Dian...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining the delightful days ahead, Electric Flying Cat drooled, chuckling in a silly manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forgot to tell you; I’ve installed monitors in the hidden corners of the yard and hall, allowing me to view the situation 24 hours a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anyone causes trouble, refuses to obey, I’ll be fully aware.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-06T03:13:42.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","d6c787d1bca8a80cb620c7029fa88542e50fc7de78292905b20628a9edef6bb4","beast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-chapter-283","beast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-chapter-281",313,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-i-m-really-just-a-forest-ranger-cover.jpg"]
