Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Not to mention the Ink Tree Spirit at the very front, its entire body shrouded in poisonous fog. Fortunately, it was stronger, and the effects were not as severe as those on the Cyan Wind Hunting Dog.

Only Lin’s Pet Beast stepped forward bravely, directly facing the poisonous fog.

This was a Fungal Pet Beast; it looked like an oversized short and plump mushroom. Its cap was light cyan, covered in spiral light green patterns, and its lower body was chubby with two short legs standing on the ground.

Knowing it was time to act, Lin focused his thoughts, "Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit, use Fog-Purifying Siphon."

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit unfolded its cap, spinning rapidly like a vacuum cleaner, sucking in all the surrounding poisonous fog. The originally light cyan cap took on a shallow layer of purple that quickly disappeared.

As soon as the fog was all absorbed, the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit wobbled its cap, its pea-sized eyes staring at Lin, letting out a dissatisfied low sound, "Mushroom?"

Obviously, the poisonous fog did not satisfy its appetite.

Lin said, "There will definitely be more later, let’s detoxify first."

"Mushroom."

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit nodded reluctantly, turned to face the Cyan Wind Hunting Dog and Ink Tree Spirit, its cap gently swayed, releasing a light cyan mist that enveloped the two poisoned Pet Beasts.

Within moments, the toxins on their bodies dissipated.

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit is known as the cleaner among Fungal Pet Beasts. As a Wood Type attribute, it can absorb all toxic fog with [Fog-Purifying Siphon] and purify it into healing mist for detoxification.

Thus, the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit is the nemesis of many Fungal Pet Beasts.

As a result, the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit cannot coexist with other Fungal Pet Beasts and usually lives alone in deep forests, rescuing every unlucky poisoned soul.

"Captain Li, what do we do now?" Lin looked at a contemplative Li Junyue, asking softly.

The current situation was clear, and the New Star Association had long set up an ambush, evidently aware of their actions.

If they continued to force their way through, they would inevitably encounter more ambushes, which was not a wise move.

Although they were confident in dealing with Poison Spore traps, it didn’t mean they wished to face a ground full of Poison Spores.

Li Junyue understood this too, his eyes flashing with thoughts.

In this situation, the best approach is to retreat first, then seal all exits, gather more forces, and cover the area with firepower, minimizing unnecessary losses.

Supported by the authorities, they had the means to operate this way.

However, for this operation, the Fourth Team was leading, and he must first consult the opposing team captain for their opinion.

With a flash of thought, Li Junyue lightly tapped his earpiece, calling out softly, "Captain Wang."

The earpiece gave no response.

Li Junyue frowned, raising his voice, continuing to call, "Captain Wang."

After waiting patiently for a moment, the earpiece finally emitted a hoarse and weak voice, "Jun... Junyue, come to the front gate immediately."

"We’re ambushed..."

The voice stopped, no longer sounding, and Li Junyue responded softly, "Understood."

Then, Li Junyue led his team members away from the back door, hastily heading towards the front gate.

Only a few minutes later, they arrived at the warehouse entrance.

A shattered door came into view, with no signs of battle around, and Li Junyue instructed everyone to be on high alert, forming a defensive formation, entering the gate simultaneously.

Upon entering, they were met with the sight of several Pet Beasts and men and women dressed in similar tactical gear lying scattered on the ground, including the Fourth Team’s captain Wang Ren.

Li Junyue’s pupils contracted sharply, and in the next moment, an extremely dense pink mist enveloped the surroundings, filling the air with Sweet Fragrance, and a dizzying sensation followed.

Not good!

It’s the Sweet Fragrance!

This extreme concentration, this rapid effect, must be the result of multiple Pet Beasts simultaneously releasing Sweet Fragrance.

Realizing the danger, Li Junyue instinctively wanted to turn and retreat, but the dizziness spread quickly throughout his body, causing him to sway, on the verge of collapsing.

The reactions of other Pet Beasts and team members were largely similar to his.

"Mushroom mushroom mushroom!"

Only the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit advanced instead of retreating, its small eyes shining, as if seeing a delicious feast, it charged into the heart of the fog, its body enveloped by the deep pink mist.

"Mushroom mushroom!"

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit began spinning its cap at a speed beyond the eye’s ability to follow, almost turning into a blur, voraciously inhaling the surrounding mist like a tornado.

In an instant, the fog churned, and the light cyan cap quickly turned deep pink before slowly dissipating.

Not knowing how much time passed, the mist filling the warehouse all vanished.

"Mushroom..."

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit made a burping sound, patting its swollen belly, its small eyes curving into a satisfied expression.

Finally full.

"Luckily, the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit was here." Lin breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing the mist completely dissipate.

A newly lucid Li Junyue nodded slightly, his gaze forward, looking at the still unconscious Fourth Team members, speaking in a deep voice, "Let’s detoxify them."

They were very cautious upon entering the gate due to their prior alertness, retreating at the first sign of mist.

Additionally, thanks to the Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit’s timely mist absorption, they weren’t severely affected, only their bodies swaying, almost falling asleep.

But the Fourth Team’s members were a different story.

"Mushroom."

The Honey Mist Umbrella Spirit moved to the center of the crowd, shaking its cap, releasing a light cyan mist that enveloped the entire area.

Yet the members of the Fourth Team still did not wake up.

Lin, who had some research into Poison Skills, quickly stepped forward, crouching to carefully observe the sleeping individuals, nodding thoughtfully.
