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

"So, you're saying that while you were catching fish at the bottom of the lake, you accidentally discovered a dark cave with strange glowing things inside?"

"And the brave and fearless you were ready to go in and check it out, but considering that Cola and I were still waiting for you outside, you decided to bring the spirit fish back first and ask for my opinion?"

Chen Yuan supported his chin with one hand, staring at Runrun Duck as he spoke.

"Ga ga!"

Runrun Duck looked serious, nodding solemnly.

That's how it is, duck! ~

Chen Yuan glanced suspiciously at the unusual Runrun Duck, but didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, he murmured, "There's actually an underwater passage beneath Mingyu Lake leading to a mysterious cave. That's quite rare."

He had lived here for over twenty years and had never heard of this.

"Does it already exist, only to be accidentally discovered by Runrun Duck, or is it a change in the landscape after the spiritual energy revival?" he pondered secretly.

"Forget it, let the geologists worry about these questions." Chen Yuan shook his head, then muttered, "Glowing things, could they be some kind of spiritual plant?"

It's just a pity that Runrun Duck didn't describe it in detail, so he couldn't know more information.

Suddenly,

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "That's right, don't I have a sports camera? Let Duck Duck take it into the cave to check the situation."

With this thought, Chen Yuan looked at Runrun Duck, who was bragging to Cola about his bravery and fearlessness in the mysterious cave, and said, "Duck Duck, do you want to go again?"

"Ga?"

Runrun Duck's voice stopped abruptly. It turned its head stiffly to look at Chen Yuan, its expression wooden, and a rather unnatural smile stretched across its beak.

But when it saw Cola and Chen Yuan looking at it with anticipation, a inexplicable courage welled up in the depths of its heart, and Runrun Duck immediately patted its chest, its eyes shining: "Ga ga!"

Leave it to Duck Duck!

But when Chen Yuan turned to ask Spark to go back to the farm and get the sports camera, Runrun Duck's legs trembled slightly involuntarily.

"Chirp ~"

Spark nodded gently, then spread its wings and flew towards the farm.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan looked at Runrun Duck, who was taking deep breaths constantly, and smiled: "You don't need to enter that dark land passage. You only need to show your head on the water surface, and then use the camera to film that glowing thing."

"You don't even need to surface."

"Ga."

Runrun Duck continued to pat its chest. The trembling legs were now firmly planted on the ground, and determination to complete the task shone in its eyes.

Before long,

Spark returned to Chen Yuan's side with the sports camera in its beak.

This sports camera was equipped with a neck-hanging bracket and a waterproof case. Chen Yuan hung it around Duck Duck's neck. Duck Duck didn't need to perform any operations, and it could record Duck Duck's immersive first-person perspective.

Watching Runrun Duck with the sports camera hanging around its neck, Chen Yuan stroked his chin, and suddenly had an idea: "If I post Duck Duck's underwater first-person perspective on the internet, maybe it will become popular?"

But it was just a thought. Chen Yuan didn't want to do such time-consuming and laborious things now.

"Duck Duck, I'm counting on you for this."

"But if you encounter an emergency, don't consider anything else, safety first. Cola and I will wait for you on the shore," Chen Yuan said seriously.

"Awoo awoo ~"

Cola also called out a few times, urging her good friend to be careful.

A warm current welled up in Runrun Duck's heart, but it just tossed its hair, a breezy expression on its face: "Ga ga ~"

A piece of cake.

Splash ~

Runrun Duck jumped into the water, and its figure quickly disappeared.

Diving underwater again, Runrun Duck was not attracted by the fish, but directly drilled into the previous aquatic plants. The deep underwater passage came into view.

Swimming forward along the underwater passage, Runrun Duck soon arrived at the previous mysterious cave, but it only lurked under the water surface, without sticking out its head.

"Ga ga."

Runrun Duck recalled the cool breeze from before, and when he thought of this dark and strange cave, he always felt that there were pairs of eyes watching him in the darkness, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly again.

I'm so scared, duck.

Afterwards,

Runrun Duck climbed onto the ground, and wet webbed feet left a triangle watermark. It turned its body, letting the sports camera hanging around its neck aim at the glowing thing.

After waiting for a while, until it confirmed that the sports camera had photographed this glowing thing, Runrun Duck poked its head out again and looked at the dark passage that it didn't know where it led to.

Runrun Duck was obviously very scared, but curiosity drove it to subconsciously walk towards that side.

Without mistake, one first, one send, one inside, one appearance, one existence, one see, one see!

"Quack!"

Suddenly, a strange sound exploded in his ears like muffled thunder, followed by a pair of fluorescent orange eyes quietly appearing in the darkness.

Runrun Duck suddenly came back to his senses. It widened its eyes and exclaimed: "Ga ga ga!"

Duck Duck, I'm going to be eaten!

In the next second, Runrun Duck opened his feet and turned around and ran, jumping into the water with extremely skilled posture, splashing bursts of water.

"Quack?"

"What's going on?"

Chen Yuan looked at Runrun Duck, who was frightened on the shore, and asked with concern, "Did you encounter anything in the cave?"

"Ga ga."

Runrun Duck patted his chest repeatedly, until the frightened heart gradually calmed down, and then he realized that the brave and fearless image he had carefully created before had completely collapsed.

Duck Duck wanted to cry without tears, but still took off the sports camera from his neck and handed it to Chen Yuan.

Afterwards, it stared at Chen Yuan with a serious face: "Ga ga ga!"

You must be careful, there are very scary guys inside.

Chen Yuan nodded, opened the video and began to watch, and the three little guys all put their heads together.

The previous underwater scene was not unusual, but Chen Yuan's expression changed when Runrun Duck swam into the underwater passage and the mysterious cave appeared.

When that glowing thing appeared in the video, Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and carefully looked at it: "It looks a bit like a mushroom. It seems like it really is a spiritual plant?"

Afterwards,

With a "quack" sound, a pair of eyes emerged.

And at the end of the video, the picture quickly shook. Chen Yuan could even imagine Runrun Duck's panicked escape.

"This sound should be a frog's."

"Obviously, this cave not only has mushrooms suspected of being spiritual plants, but also frogs suspected of being pet beasts."

Chen Yuan briefly analyzed it for a moment, and decisively sent this video to Chen Wenhao: "Bro, can you help me see what the mushroom and the source of the sound are inside?"

As the first batch of research students at the headquarters of the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy, Chen Yuan believed that his younger brother's ability to analyze this video would not be a problem.
