Forest Guardian: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Beast Tamer

"Am I about to transmigrate?"

The sweet voice ringing in his ears forcefully pulled Chen Yuan back to his senses. He looked around, only to find himself still in his bedroom, the darkness outside the window so thick he couldn't see his own fingers.

No, no transmigration.

Chen Yuan pondered, only to discover that the speck in his mind was close at hand, its entire body emitting a brilliant fluorescent glow.

At the same time, the voice from just now sounded again:

"Huh? No transmigration?"

Chen Yuan clearly heard the disappointment in the tone.

He stared blankly, gazing at the speck in his mind for a moment, then seemed to understand something, tentatively speaking out: "Hello?"

At this moment, the fluorescent glow emitted by the speck began to tremble wildly, as if frightened, followed by an excited and thrilled voice:

"Ah, hello, hello!"

"Are you also a Donghuang person?"

"Where are you? Why can't I see you?"

"My name is Jiang Wenning, what's your name?"

Hearing a series of questions, Chen Yuan's face stiffened, and he quickly interrupted: "Don't rush, don't rush, you're asking too many questions."

As soon as he said this, both of them fell silent.

Chen Yuan rubbed his brow, and asked: "Can you see me?"

Jiang Wenning's answer was exceptionally quick: "I can't see you, I can only see a hazy gray space, and a glowing speck."

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he pondered: "Same as what I see."

Many thoughts arose in his mind, and after considering them, he continued to ask: "Can you tell me how you entered this state?"

This time, Jiang Wenning, perhaps realizing the strangeness of the situation, hesitated for a long time before answering: "I was meditating."

"Meditating?" Chen Yuan was taken aback.

He had also been meditating just now.

"Yes, I discovered the jade pendant was glowing during meditation, and when I looked down, I didn't expect..." Jiang Wenning trailed off.

"Jade pendant!" Chen Yuan's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

"What's wrong? Do you also have a jade pendant?" Jiang Wenning asked in confusion.

Chen Yuan didn't deceive Jiang Wenning, telling her the shape and appearance of his family's ancestral jade pendant, and an excited voice rang in his ears:

"Yes, yes, yes, my jade pendant is also like that!"

"My dad said this jade pendant was left by our ancestors, it's been passed down for hundreds of years."

"Wow, could we be relatives from five hundred years ago?"

Chen Yuan's expression froze, and he muttered: "There's actually a possibility."

Regardless of the relevant history of this jade pendant for now, it seems quite mystical at the moment, able to connect with other jade pendant owners during meditation, achieving the effect of transmitting sound over a thousand miles.

Hearing Chen Yuan's guess, Jiang Wenning's eyes lit up, and she eagerly said: "I'm in Modu, where are you?"

"Um..."

Chen Yuan hesitated for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Baokun City."

"As expected, it's over a thousand miles away!!! But my dad never said the jade pendant had this function..."

Chen Yuan guessed: "Perhaps it's because of the world's changes."

"That makes sense." Jiang Wenning nodded slightly, the excitement on her face gradually receding, and she muttered softly, "But our era has cell phones, which have long achieved sound transmission over a thousand miles, this jade pendant seems pretty useless..."

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment, but he also agreed with Jiang Wenning's view.

Aren't cell phones much more convenient for communication than jade pendants?

But he suddenly remembered something, his expression turned serious, and he asked: "You said you were meditating earlier, are you already a Beastmaster?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Wenning's face, and her voice was cheerful: "Yes, yes, yes, I succeeded in awakening on my first meditation!"

"Amazing." Chen Yuan sincerely praised.

Actually at the same level as himself, as expected of another jade pendant owner.

"What about you? Are you also a Beastmaster?"

"Yes."

"Then have you contracted a pet beast?"

"I contracted a falcon."

"I contracted Nuomi."

"Nuomi?" Chen Yuan was stunned.

"Nuomi is my Ragdoll cat, it secretly ate the spiritual plant that my dad left at home, and then it evolved into a pet beast," Jiang Wenning replied.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he asked without hesitation: "What is a spiritual plant?"

"You're already a Beastmaster, and you don't know what a spiritual plant is?" Jiang Wenning first said in surprise, then said, "A spiritual plant is just a short name for spiritual plants, which usually contain mysterious natural energy that can help pet beasts grow and evolve."

Chen Yuan nodded in understanding.

Jiang Wenning's voice continued: "My dad also said that the spiritual energy recovery during the rainy season isn't high, and only a very small number of animals can evolve directly through spiritual energy."

"More of them evolve by eating spiritual plants."

"But as the spiritual energy tide progresses, more and more ordinary animals will be able to directly evolve into extraordinary creatures."

Chen Yuan praised in a timely manner: "Amazing, you know so much."

A bright smile appeared on Jiang Wenning's face, and her voice was light: "Hmph hmph, you can just ask me directly if you don't understand anything in the future."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wenning paused slightly, worded her sentence, and continued: "By the way, there's also some very important information."

"Tell me." Chen Yuan collected his thoughts.

"That is, extraordinary creatures are divided into different ranks based on their potential and combat power. The higher the rank, the higher the plasticity of the extraordinary creature, and the stronger its strength."

"So, the rank of the contracted pet beast should be as high as possible."

"But it seems that the rank of extraordinary creatures isn't fixed and can be promoted through certain means."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but think of the [Advancement Path] in the data panel, and his heart trembled.

"Oh, actually, I don't know much about these things right now." Jiang Wenning coughed softly, and then said, "After I report to the Beastmaster Academy tomorrow, I'll tell you after I learn more knowledge."

"Beastmaster Academy?"

"Yes, because I successfully awakened on my first meditation, I was invited to join the Beastmaster Academy to study Beastmaster-related knowledge in depth."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wenning looked down at her watch and, after realizing that it was almost midnight, quickly said: "I'm not talking anymore, I have to go to sleep quickly, I have to get up early tomorrow to catch a plane."

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet!!!"

Chen Yuan's mouth twitched, he didn't expect Jiang Wenning to not have forgotten this matter.

He originally didn't want to easily reveal his real name, but then he thought that this girl who called herself Jiang Wenning was sincere in her words and unhesitatingly told him the knowledge of Beastmastery.

"My name is Chen Yuan."

"Okay, Chen Yuan, good night."

Her voice was still sweet and light, but the next second Jiang Wenning's face became confused: "By the way, do you know how to exit?"

Chen Yuan guessed: "Since you entered this state during meditation, then stop meditating and don't focus your mental energy here."

As soon as he said this, the speck in front of him gradually dimmed until it disappeared.

The hazy gray space also slowly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Chen Yuan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, touching the cold jade pendant on his chest, and gradually fell asleep.

The night deepened.
