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

When Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao far saw the dilapidated wooden house, the starry sky was already reflected in their eyes.

Compared to Zhang Hao's nervous face, Chen Yuan appeared very calm.

"Brother Yuan, we're about to have a fierce battle, aren't you nervous at all?" Zhang Hao felt strange about Chen Yuan's reaction.

Chen Yuan smiled without saying a word.

He couldn't possibly say that he had already confirmed the battle was over through the system prompt.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the wooden house, Cola, a whirlwind of a dog, rushed out and pounced on Chen Yuan, its tail wagging non-stop, as if saying, 'Hurry up and praise me.'

Chen Yuan rubbed Cola's head and smiled, "Good job."

Cola was even more pleased.

It had finally managed to steal the spotlight before the Big Sister Head and even received praise from its master.

But Chen Yuan's next words made Cola's expression freeze: "But why did you run over here with Duck Duck and the others without my permission?"

Cola's eyes darted around, and its two paws that were on Chen Yuan's shoulder fell to the ground, subconsciously retreating backward.

Seeing Cola's silence, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and pressed, "Hmm?"

Cola didn't speak, only retreating backward.

Suddenly, two figures walked out of the wooden house, Yang Yue waved at Chen Yuan, and Li Qing nodded slightly: "Consultant Chen!"

The next moment, the four members of the Investigation Team rushed out and stood neatly in front of Chen Yuan, shouting in unison: "Consultant Chen!!!"

This posture was like receiving a leader's inspection.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but mutter, "Brother Yuan, what a grand scene."

Mountain Pig looked around, but didn't see the captain's figure, so he reached out and nudged the female member beside him, asking in a low voice, "Bai Jue, why didn't the captain come out?"

Bai Jue frowned slightly, also feeling puzzled.

Doesn't this mean—

A guess surfaced in Bai Jue's mind, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, "The idol is outside, the captain must be very nervous."

Mountain Pig scratched his head, looking puzzled: "?"

Inside the house,

Nie Li wiped the dust off her clothes and pants again and again, repeatedly checking whether her hairstyle was messy, and finally kept taking deep breaths.

Until the heart pounding like crazy gradually calmed down, she finally took a deep breath and mustered the courage to push open the door.

But the moment she saw Chen Yuan, her heart suddenly jumped, and with a "bang," she slammed the door shut.

Nie Li leaned against the door, her chest heaving violently.

Everyone looked at the closed door with puzzled expressions, only Bai Jue secretly laughing.

After a while,

Nie Li, having regained her composure, pushed the door open again, walking out slowly with a calm pace, stopping only when she came to Chen Yuan.

Bai Jue squinted her eyes, noticing the captain's constantly trembling little finger.

"Y-You hello, I am Nie Li."

The stumbling voice came from Nie Li's mouth, she looked at Chen Yuan who was close at hand, suddenly her mind went blank, forgetting the words she had thought of before.

Mountain Pig and the other two looked at Nie Li at this time, their eyes widened.

Who taught the captain to be like this?

Chen Yuan reached out his hand and smiled slightly: "Hello, I am Chen Yuan."

"Hello, hello." Nie Li shook hands with him, her heart inexplicably becoming calm at this moment, "Consultant Chen, I have long admired your name."

She looked at her idol, countless emotions churning in her mind, eventually turning into a simple sentence: "I am your fan, I am very honored to meet you."

Afterward, her expression became normal: "Before you came, we had already dealt with the scene, the three poachers have been handcuffed, and all the poached wild pet beasts have been released."

"It's just that ."

"This little guy's stolen things haven't been found yet."

Nie Li reached out and pointed to Runrun Duck.

"Quack quack quack!"

Runrun Duck met a pair of eyes, raised its head, and said righteously.

Duck Duck, my spirit fish hasn't been found yet!

Cola and Electric Flying Cat looked at each other, both silently retreating, looking guilty.

Chen Yuan hesitated: "Duck Duck, you—"

When did these three poachers steal Duck Duck's spirit fish?

How come he didn't know about this?

But before he could finish speaking, he saw Nie Li say solemnly: "Don't worry, Consultant Chen, I have already written this matter into the report."

"If the spirit fish cannot be found, our Investigation Department will compensate."

"This group of poachers roams in the Qinling Mountains, it is our Investigation Department's fault."

Chen Yuan remained noncommittal: "Where are the three poachers?"

"Inside."

Nie Li led Chen Yuan into the wooden house, Yang Yue and Li Qing followed closely behind, and the remaining four Investigation members stayed in place.

Bai Jue explained softly: "The captain is Consultant Chen's die-hard fan, the bedroom is covered with surrounding posters."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

The captain in their impression was meticulous and not interested in any entertainment activities, her daily life only consisting of training and learning.

Because of this, Nie Li's strength is one of the best among all the captains of the Eighth Branch, which is why she is qualified to be sent to guard the Qinling Mountains.

Moreover, she is the only female beastmaster in the Eighth Branch.

"No wonder I often see the captain studying Consultant Chen's battle videos," Mountain Pig muttered softly.

Someone suddenly asked: "Who do you think is more powerful, the captain or Consultant Chen?"

As soon as these words came out, the other three looked at him with strange eyes.

"Does this need to be asked? Consultant Chen hasn't even arrived, and his pet beasts have already solved these three poachers."

"Although I wholeheartedly support the captain, we must respect objective facts."

This person continued to ask: "Then who is more powerful, Consultant Chen or our branch's minister?"

Everyone fell silent, until after a moment, Mountain Pig said in an uncertain tone: "The minister, the minister's strength is one of the best in the entire Qin Province."

"Consultant Chen is indeed powerful, but he is only the most powerful in Baokun City, he may not be so eye-catching in Qin Province."

Bai Jue continued: "Isn't the Qin Province Beastmaster Competition going to be held next month?"

"If Consultant Chen participates, we will know his approximate level in the entire Qin Province by then."

"I think it should be in the top twenty."

Inside the wooden house,

Chen Yuan saw the three poachers who were handcuffed.

"Viper Fang, the leader, his pet beasts are Bone Crusher War Mastiff and Ramming Earth Beast..." Nie Li stood in front of Viper Fang, explaining his basic information in detail.

"Hiss—"

Perhaps because he heard his name, Viper Fang, who had been in a coma, finally woke up, the severe pain in his brain making him groan.

Nie Li said with a straight face, asking in a cold voice: "Where did you hide the stolen spirit fish?"

"Quack!"

Runrun Duck stood aside with its arms akimbo, indignant.

Hearing this, Viper Fang, who was still conscious, frowned deeply, making a hoarse voice: "What spirit fish?"

"Quack quack quack!"

Seeing that this person still didn't admit it, Runrun Duck was immediately annoyed, constantly waving its wings.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is the spirit fish?" Nie Li's eyes were like torches, asking in a deep voice, "If you confess now, you can be dealt with leniently."

"If you wait until later to confess, the consequences will definitely be several times more serious than now."

Seeing Runrun Duck's reaction, hearing Nie Li's words, Viper Fang fell into deep thought for a long time.

Could it be that he really robbed the spirit fish?

But why didn't he have the slightest impression?

But Runrun Duck's reaction couldn't be faked, and what Nie Li said made sense.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, so he simply looked at the masked man and the strong man who looked miserable and whose clothes and pants were torn into strips, and said: "They ate it."

"Quack quack quack quack!"

Duck Duck, my spirit fish has been eaten!

When Nie Li woke up the masked man and the strong man who were in a coma using physical means and asked the same question, the two people's reactions were surprisingly consistent.

The masked man said that the strong man robbed the spirit fish and had already pocketed it.

The strong man insisted that the masked man planned this matter single-handedly, and the spirit fish entered the latter's stomach.

"Quack ."

Runrun Duck squatted in the corner, looking at the ground blankly with its head down, looking like it had lost the will to live.

Duck Duck, my spirit fish is gone

Seeing the two people biting each other, Nie Li said: "Consultant Chen, it has been confirmed that the spirit fish has been eaten, we will compensate."

The matter has developed to the present, even Chen Yuan has fallen into contemplation—did they really rob Duck Duck's spirit fish?

At this time, Viper Fang raised his head with difficulty, looking at Chen Yuan who was in contemplation, asking in a hoarse voice: "You are the beastmaster of that Gale Hound?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Yuan looked at Viper Fang in confusion.

Viper Fang smiled miserably: "I heard that you are a consultant, presumably your strength ranks at the top in this small place."

Yang Yue interjected: "Consultant Chen is the most powerful beastmaster in Baokun City!"

"No wonder..." Viper Fang nodded suddenly, and then showed a relieved smile, "I am very convinced that I lost to your Gale Hound and Runrun Duck."

Viper Fang figured it out, they could only blame themselves for being too unlucky to meet this person's main pet beasts.

Chen Yuan suddenly spoke: "Who told you that Runrun Duck is my pet beast?"

"Hmm?" Viper Fang looked blank.

Nie Li said quietly: "Flame Cloud Falcon is Consultant Chen's trump card pet beast."

"Gale Hound is only Consultant Chen's second pet beast."

Yang Yue said with a smile: "Runrun Duck, it's just responsible for watering flowers at Consultant Chen's house."

"You're right, aren't you, Runrun Duck?"

"Quack ."

Runrun Duck in the corner nodded.

If you hadn't robbed my spirit fish, Duck Duck wouldn't have run over here to fight!

At this moment, Viper Fang's face was ashen, as if he had suffered a great stimulus, constantly chanting in his mouth: "Watering flowers, watering flowers..."

Ignoring Viper Fang, Nie Li turned to Chen Yuan and the others, opening her mouth solemnly: "Thank you for your help, I will ask the leader for your commendation."

Yang Yue looked happy, waving her hand: "Oh, it's meaningless to talk about these, we are just fulfilling the obligations of a beastmaster."

Changing the subject, she stared at Nie Li with bright eyes: "Can you go to our school for commendation?"

"I am Yang Yue from the Battle Department of Yunhua Beastmaster Academy."

"Will there be a banner by then?"

"Can I post it online?"

Nie Li was speechless for a while: "Uh... that depends on the leader."
