Rangers live in the wild for a long time, mainly relying on their own martial arts and familiarity with the wild environment. However, manpower is always exhausted, and even the clever ranger still needs help. Therefore, they will tame some animals as their own life partners.

The bald old dog named "Dog Meat" is Carl's animal companion. They spent twenty years together through ups and downs. They hunted in the dense forest, tracked and drove away evil creatures entering the forest, preventing goblins and kowtows from invading the surrounding villages, and even more so that they could not establish strongholds in this forest.

This kind of emotion and tacit understanding is similar to a soldier and his military dog, and is a bond entangled in the soul. Carl slowly grows older, and "dog meat" grows faster. It was no longer able to adapt to high-intensity battles about five years ago, so Carl handed it a new mission: guarding the tree house in the forest.

The new animal companion is the python called "Crossworm". It is currently in a strong position. After long-term training, it has learned to cooperate with the ranger to fight and take care of each other's life. Carl will take it to parade in the dense forest, but never take it to Neibo Town.

The reason is also very easy to understand: a thick python is definitely not as good as a big dog, and the latter will not cause any panic.

The python knew that one day he would go to town, especially Carl would gradually age, and the python could help him carry goods. It quietly waited for the day when the old dog died, which was the day when it officially took over. Before that, it would be rubbing its body in the nest, hoping to become stronger and stronger.

Zhao Mai was not afraid of the python, but he couldn't like it either. All his attention was on the yellow fur ball in his arms. This was a little male dog, about the same size as a volleyball ball. Under the long fluff was a thin body, not a few pounds of heavy weight, and it was so painful to hold it in his arms.

The dark brown nose kept sniffing on Zhao Mai, as if he had smelled something he liked. He raised his upper body and tried to climb to a higher place. He straightened his hind legs and scratched his front paws.

Zhao Mai grabbed the puppy and looked it up and down strangely. The puppy was so excited that it could not be suppressed. His waist and hind legs were spinning in circles, and his mouth made an anxious cry. "What a cute stupid dog." Zhao Mai satisfied its desire and placed the ball of hair on his shoulder.

The puppy immediately became honest, lying comfortably on his shoulders, clutching Zhao Mai's T-shirt with his little paws, squinting his eyes and starting to take a nap.

"Since you like me so much, I will take good care of you." Zhao Mai reached out to grab the puppy's tail, causing it to sway hard to express its dissatisfaction.

The puppy fell in love with the position of his shoulders and said he was unwilling to come down. Even when Zhao Mai climbed into the second-level tree hole, the puppy refused to move his nest. From time to time, it stuck out its tongue and licked Zhao Mai's shoulders and neck, which was cold and itchy, which made Zhao Mai giggle. This was the way the little thing expressed intimacy.

The tree hole is very simple, and a pile of old fur that has been laid for many years is his bed. Half of wood is used as a pillow, and the clean skin without hair is used as a quilt. There is no door to the tree hole, and ventilation and light are completed by entrances and exits that are only half a person high. There are many dried fruits such as acorns, chestnuts, walnuts, etc. in one corner of the hole, which is about 100 kilograms. Therefore, the tree hole is always filled with a smell of trees with a greasy feeling.

Zhao Mai left Chimera's skin outside the hole, climbed into the hole to clean up for a while, and placed the tire aside as a temporary door. He looked at the small room and stroked the inelastic fur bed with his hands. This was his first place to settle down, a small house full of wild atmosphere. If he were on earth, he would never find such a unique place where he could get close to nature without any scruples.

How can forests made of steel and cement be compared to the original nature style? The genes engraved in the evolution process of millions of years prefer the real taste of trees and soil. Zhao Mai found that he was very adapted to the current environment. Although he still had nervous and worried thoughts from time to time climbed up, he was more excited and tranquility to return to nature.

The words excitement and peace seem to be opposite, but they can be organically combined here. This feeling is very similar to the wanderer who returns home. When he stepped into the door and saw his parents' feelings when he saw him for a long time. Zhao Mai came to this tree hole for the first time. It was originally a strange place, but a sense of security arises deep in his heart. He tried to lie on the cushion, but he felt that the pores in his body were comfortable, and his body immediately reached absolute relaxation. He carried heavy objects along the way and ran around in the forest. The accumulated fatigue surged in his heart. Now is the good time to take a nap, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The two heads were poked out, and it turned out that the old Ranger and the orc apprentice came to check when they heard the snoring. They saw Zhao Mai sleeping soundly, and they also saw a small yellow-brown fur ball lying on Zhao Mai's shoulder, sleeping together with the red tongue. Solu wanted to go in and pull the puppy out, but the old Ranger stopped him. He winked and called the orc to the tree.

"Let him take a break today, and you two train together from tomorrow. In the morning I will teach you language and nature knowledge. He wants to learn common language and you also have to learn writing. It's just right to be together. In the afternoon I will teach you fighting skills." Carl patted Soru's shoulder and squeezed the orc's strong muscles with his dry fingers. "You have learned the basics, so teach Mike more. If you can let him learn basic martial arts, I agree to take you out and take risks together."

The orc nodded vigorously, with an excited light flashing in his eyes. Staying near the big tree had long lost his patience, and following the ranger to go out for field operations was his long-standing dream.

"I only give you seven days. If he can't pass the foundation by that time, even if you fail. I will go out for inspection in seven days and I won't take you there." Carl said earnestly: "You have excellent physical fitness, but your brain is not smart enough. I am very worried. This time it is a test of whether you can solve problems you have never encountered. So, think more and find a way to teach Mike, and I will be relieved."

"Yes, teacher, I'll find a way now." The orc smiled silly and climbed into the highest tree hole in a few seconds. Then the sound of rumbling through boxes and cabinets came out, and I didn't know what the orc was busy with.

Carl sighed and walked into his tree hole. The python followed closely behind him and also got in. After a while, the python looked out with his eyes, lowered his body, and quietly got into the dense forest with a grey tree root. A grease paper bag tied to the back of its neck, which contained the letter Carl had just written.

The old dog lay on his feet and looked at the old master listlessly. It saw the sorrow between the master's eyebrows, but had no strength to dispel it.
