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

Once the little guys finished eating the Luminous Fruit, Chen Yuan casually planted the cores in the field. Planting the cores didn't take much effort anyway, and if even one sprouted, it would be a huge win.

"One day, I'm going to fill the farm with spiritual plants!" Chen Yuan declared heroically, then instructed Runrun Duck to water the seeds carefully before preparing to drive to Bright Gorge Lake.

Nothing to do today, just fishing by the lake.

"Quack quack ~"

Having just finished watering, Runrun Duck heard the sound and waddled over.

Duck Duck wants to go too!

Duck Duck hasn't had fresh spirit fish in a long time!

"Get in the car then." Chen Yuan nodded, beckoning Runrun Duck to get into the back.

Cola plopped down in the driver's seat, paws on the accelerator, skillfully twisting it.

The next moment, the tricycle slowly started, heading towards Bright Gorge Lake.

Duck Duck sat in the back, the wind blowing its fluffy head feathers, it quickly reached out a wing to hold them down, squinting its eyes to admire the passing scenery.

Before long, Chen Yuan brought the three little guys to Bright Gorge Lake.

"You guys go play, I'm going to start fishing." Chen Yuan waved his hand, letting the little guys wander off on their own, while he took out his fishing rod and cast it into the lake.

"Quack quack ~"

Runrun Duck waved its wings at Cola, then, sticking out its upturned butt, waddled towards the lake.

Although Cola didn't quite understand, it still followed along excitedly.

"Quack quack ~"

Runrun Duck first pointed to the calm lake surface, then looked towards the bucket beside Chen Yuan, and finally nodded at Cola.

Duck Duck will go into the water to catch fish first, and after I catch them, you put them in the bucket, and we'll eat them together when I come out.

"Woof woof woof!"

Cola wagged its tail, nodding quickly.

Seeing Cola agree, Runrun Duck nodded in satisfaction, then used the clear lake surface to examine itself, checking to see if its hairstyle had been messed up by the earlier wind.

"Woof woof."

Seeing that Runrun Duck was still not going down, Cola quickly urged it.

"Quack quack."

Runrun Duck confirmed that its hairstyle was still perfect, then unhurriedly jumped into the water.

Once submerged in the lake, Runrun Duck, which was usually slow on land, suddenly became light and agile, swaying its body, like a fish swimming freely.

There were many fish at the bottom of the lake, and when Runrun Duck, this behemoth, fearlessly intruded into the school of fish, these fish immediately fled in panic.

"Quack quack ~"

Runrun Duck hadn't experienced the joy of chasing schools of fish in a long time, it grinned mischievously, closely following behind the school of fish, occasionally opening its mouth to scare them.

Just as Runrun Duck was having fun, the corner of its eye suddenly caught sight of a figure.

It was a Rippleback Salmon!

Longing for the taste of fresh Rippleback Salmon, Runrun Duck couldn't help but swallow its saliva, and immediately shifted its attention, staring intently at the Rippleback Salmon hiding in the lush seaweed.

Duck Duck is going to have a treat!

In the instant the thought flashed through its mind, Runrun Duck launched a "Duck Duck Charge" towards the Rippleback Salmon, its webbed feet rapidly paddling in the water like oars, like a top-of-the-line engine bursting out with powerful force in that instant, its speed suddenly increased, rushing towards the Rippleback Salmon!

However, this Rippleback Salmon was not foolish, and the moment it sensed the changes in the surrounding lake water, it twisted its body and rushed into the seaweed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Runrun Duck did not hesitate at all, chasing after the disappearing figure of the Rippleback Salmon, and directly dove into the seaweed.

However, when Runrun Duck dove into the seaweed, the scene before it suddenly changed dramatically—the lake bottom overgrown with seaweed disappeared, replaced by a deep, dark underwater passage.

"Quack?"

Runrun Duck was stunned for a moment, but when it saw the Rippleback Salmon at the end of its vision, it immediately stopped paying attention to the changes in the environment and continued to chase.

A fish and a duck unfolded a fierce chase in the underwater passage.

Bang!

A swift water arrow accurately hit the Rippleback Salmon desperately fleeing in front, the latter's body swayed, and soon fell into a coma.

Runrun Duck quickly swam over, smiled triumphantly when it saw the unconscious Rippleback Salmon, opened its mouth, and held it.

Although this little fish swims very fast, Duck Duck's water arrows never miss!

Just as Duck Duck was about to bring the Rippleback Salmon back to shore to show off to Cola, it suddenly realized that the scene above its head was not quite right.

A faint, shimmering light illuminated the water surface, radiating a strange color.

"Quack?"

Runrun Duck tilted its head, looking puzzled, it subconsciously swam towards the lake surface, just in time to breathe in some fresh air.

Duck Duck is about to suffocate.

Runrun Duck surfaced, casually threw the unconscious Rippleback Salmon onto the nearby ground, and took large gulps of air.

When its breathing gradually calmed down, Runrun Duck looked around, surveying the environment here—this was a very spacious and dark cave, a deep and dark passage extending from the left, both sides were uneven rock walls, not knowing where they led.

A cold, eerie wind blew past, Runrun Duck couldn't help but feel a chill, its body shivered, and it inexplicably felt a trace of fear.

It cautiously scanned its surroundings, its little feet gently stepping on the ground, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing the silence of this cave.

Suddenly,

a subtle sound quietly rang in its ears, Runrun Duck only felt all the hairs on its body stand on end, suddenly widened its eyes, and felt as if there was a little fish jumping non-stop in its heart.

Duck Duck is so scared!

Runrun Duck looked left and right at the fastest speed, looked up and down, and only then did it realize that it was the unconscious Rippleback Salmon that had woken up and was constantly jumping on the ground, making a sound.

"Quack quack!"

Runrun Duck was immediately embarrassed and angry, grabbed the Rippleback Salmon and wanted to end its sinful life, but suddenly remembered its promise to Cola, and put down the Rippleback Salmon, temporarily sparing its life.

Afterwards, Runrun Duck dared not stay here any longer, hurriedly held the Rippleback Salmon in its mouth, re-submerged into the water, and returned the way it came.

"Woof."

The bored Cola squatted by the lake, it stared at the calm, waveless lake surface for a long time, its head gradually lowered, and the frequency of its tail wagging became slower and slower.

A wave of drowsiness gradually swept over, like a tide about to engulf it.

Suddenly,

a figure surfaced, and Cola, which was originally full of drowsiness, instantly raised its head, looking at Runrun Duck's figure with a face full of surprise.

Cola suddenly stood up, approached Runrun Duck which jumped ashore, staring intently at the spirit fish struggling desperately in the latter's mouth.

The next moment,

Cola quickly ran to the side of the bucket, bit the edge, and dragged the bucket to the lake.

"Quack."

Runrun Duck spat the Rippleback Salmon into the bucket, finally relieved, and let out a long sigh.

Immediately,

Runrun Duck looked at the bucket with only one Rippleback Salmon in it, its face full of doubt: "Quack?"

Duck Duck has been down for so long, why is there only one fish in the bucket?

Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Duck Duck expressionlessly, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Forget it, an air force doesn't deserve to speak.

He clearly tried very hard and was very patient to fish, he can only blame these fish for not being sensible and not jumping onto the fish hook obediently.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't respond, Runrun Duck suddenly patted its head, suddenly remembering what had happened earlier, and immediately started gesticulating wildly: "Quack quack quack!"
