Chapter 17: The Ambition of the Intern Ranger ()

In the Liyuan Wilderness at dusk, the sun has gradually set below the horizon. The red glow in the sky has not yet dissipated. The ground where eggs can be roasted gradually cooled down. There is also a sense of coolness in the occasional wind.

As the coolness blows, there is also a faint smell of blood. In a small oasis in the wasteland, a cheetah covered in gray marks was tearing the flesh and blood of a triangular demon antel. Even when it was eating, it still had a vigilance. It raised its head from time to time and looked around, and its pointed ears kept turning, not letting go of a slight storm.

In the distance, there are group of demon antlers running in panic. This wasteland cheetah has been following this group of triangular demon antlers for more than ten days. The group of demon antlers seems to know that this is not good. Since the previous few days, it has been grouping. This is a helpless negative approach, but it is also the best way to preserve the tribe. The young and strong ones leave first, while the old and weak stay behind until the last one is left.

The wilderness cheetah occasionally looked at the running demon antels, but didn't know what it was thinking. Is it thinking that it wouldn't be able to eat the delicious demon antels tomorrow.

The bright red sunset and the cheetah looking up, formed an extremely lonely silhouette, as desolate as the wasteland itself.

And in this beautiful silhouette, there was a shadow moving slowly with his back to the sunset. He hid in the grass, hid behind the bushes, and slowly advanced at a pace that was so light that it would hardly make any sound.

The cheetah did not notice his approach. When he was lowering his head and continuing to eat, he suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Haha!"

The cheetah was frightened, jumped up suddenly and rushed outward. The figure quickly avoided the cheetah's attack, and slashed the cheetah's neck with a hand knife. The cheetah wailed, rolled on the ground, and got up again. His eyes were staring at the figure in front of him with vigilance, and he kept making snoring sounds from his mouth.

"Little leopard, don't be afraid. I have no malicious intentions towards you. I just want you to be my animal companion." The figure murmured. Unfortunately, the cheetah couldn't understand his words, but it just kept letting out a low roar. It wanted to pounce again, but the figure who looked very thin in front of him exuded a powerful pressure that he could not resist.

"Little leopard, don't run away!" the figure whispered, and then slowly approached him, "Don't be afraid. If you become my animal companion, I will treat you very well. I will help you make big meals every day and scratch you every day. Really, I won't lie to you!"

"Ao!" The cheetah let out a terrified wail, turned around and ran away.

"No." The figure grabbed the head, "Am I that scary? Even food can't buy you?"

The sun gradually sinks, and the entire wasteland gradually falls into darkness. In the darkness, countless animals begin to move at night, and on such a dark wasteland, a faint light of fire is particularly dazzling.

Nester threw a firewood on the fire, and the flames immediately became stronger. The water in the pot on the fire was already gurgling. At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came.

"Back?" Nester reached out to grab the giant sword next to him, but he put it down in an instant. A slender shadow came out of the dark shadow. It looked like a teenager was carrying a huge thing on his back. The teenager walked to the fire and threw the thing off. A pair of sharp horns as sharp as a sharp sword, which was a demon antelope.

"Wow, it's the Demon Antelope, I'm blessed today." Naist rubbed his hands excitedly, but found that the Demon Antelope seemed to have an animal biting wound on his body.

"It's a little leopard." The boy walked to the fire, sat down casually, and said, "I originally planned to let it be my animal companion, but it didn't want to. I didn't say what to do with it, so it ran away and threw the antelope to me. If I didn't care, it would be a waste, so I brought it back."

"Haha, it turns out you are not giving up!" Nest laughed. Animal partners are not that easy to obtain. In fact, it is not a simple taming animal, but a special natural spell. The first-level ranger begins to learn to use the power of various elements, while the second-level ranger will learn a very useful spell called animal communication. You can communicate with various animals. Only then can you tame animals and make animals become combat partners who are in harmony with your heart.

Most people really have animal partners after level 3. At this time, the Ranger has an additional skill called "heart communication", which can communicate with their animal partners in the mind without using language to communicate. Only then will the animal partners come in handy.

Even if the boy gained the ability to touch the magic net, he only superimposed the ability of the magic net walker on the ability of the first-level ranger. He is still a first-level ranger, not a fourth-level.

"So, Kane, you must become a druid as soon as possible!" The poor boy who was ridiculed by his companion pursed and said, "If you become a druid, I don't have to find an animal companion. You can be my animal companion... You can turn into a leopard, a bear, or a bird... Why do you look at me with this kind of eyes? Did I say something wrong?"

Everyone was speechless, and finally could only shake their heads and said helplessly: "Oh, this guy is obsessed with it."

"Otherwise...Poli, come and be my animal companion." The boy hugged the giant bear lying beside the fire and bitten a piece of magic antel meat. The giant bear stretched out his claws, patted the boy's back, and then continued to bite his food.

The beating flames pulled everyone's figures very long. Many wild beasts were wandering in the distance, but they did not dare to approach. The boy opened his big eyes and looked around, as if he was looking at whether there were any suitable animals to use as animal companions. He had tried many times, but he was always unwilling to give up.

Even Xiu Te had no choice but to treat this persistence of the boy, and could only be regarded as a quirk that penetrated deep into the bones.

At this moment, Shute's ears moved, and he reached out to grab the longbow beside him, but Yao Yan rushed out like a cheetah in an instant. His figure flashed a few times in the weeds, and he completely lost his trace. Perhaps the ranger was not as specialized in various stealth techniques as a thief, but in this wilderness, it was really difficult to find a ranger's trace. You can see that the boy could easily approach the cheetah in the wasteland without being discovered.

While Sult grabbed the longbow, the others were ready for battle. Nairst's giant sword was already in his hand, standing by Paselin's side with the calf head, left and right. It is the most basic responsibility of the warrior to protect the mage without close combat ability. As for the rangers, they are perfect and impeccable in terms of melee combat or long range.

Hawkeye Ranger's sharp eyes penetrated the night and whispered a warning: "There are three people who are ready, and the people who come are not good."

Hearing that there were only three people, the calf's head slightly turned the hilt of the sword, Neister whispered: "Don't relax!"

"Sorry, we are adventurers passing by. We got separated from our companions just now. Can we borrow a fire seed for us? I swear, we will leave immediately after we get the fire seed!" It seemed that we could feel the alertness here, and the shouts of those people came from afar.

The temperature difference between day and night in the wasteland is extremely large. Even in the hot summer, it is extremely difficult to bear if there is no bonfire at night.

The reason for the other party to borrow the fire is not far-fetched, but Shute did not relax his vigilance. He shouted: "Stand there, don't come over, we will throw the fire over."

The other party did not stop, but continued to move forward. Neister licked his lips and smiled bloodthirsty. Obviously, the other party did not approach them in kind, but had other purposes. There are too many such things in the wild. Unless they belong to the same guild, it is not uncommon for mercenaries and adventurers to seize each other's spoils. The guild association does not have enough power to restrain them and can only verbally condemn them.
