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

September 18th, Wednesday.

Weather: Cloudy.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed since Yang Yue and Li Qing left Xuanhe Village.

"It's cloudy again." Chen Yuan sighed, looking at the gloomy sky.

It was also cloudy the day before yesterday when he went into the mountains. Fortunately, with the experience from last time, Chen Yuan, familiar with the route, quickly succeeded in patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests. He encountered no accidents along the way and returned to the farm yesterday afternoon.

Logically speaking, summer should have more sunny days, but it has been cloudy for the past few days, with no sunshine at all.

The other little guys are fine with this kind of weather, but Runrun Duck's mood is obviously much lower. It has been drooping its head these past few days, looking listless.

Every day without sunshine is torment for Runrun Duck.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to increase the intensity of training to make Runrun Duck forget about it. With the blessing of Bright Moon Dew, its strength has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to a week ago:

[Race: Runrun Duck (Collected)]

[Attribute: Water]

[Level: 5 (First Order)]

[Affection: 77]

[Skills: Water Surge (Proficient 1.8/5) + Water Arrow (Proficient 0.2/5) + Water Binding (Basic 1.6/3) +]

"A week has passed, the Spirit Shade Mushroom should be mature."

"It's time to take Duck Duck to try it out."

Chen Yuan walked out of the room and came to the yard.

"Diandian."

Diandian Flying Cat was panting heavily, flapping its yellow wings and flying in the air above the farm. A rope was tied around its waist, and a large stone was tied to the rope.

Flying in the air with a large stone, Diandian Flying Cat was obviously struggling. The speed of its wing flapping was very slow, sweat was dripping from its forehead, and its round face looked a little ferocious.

But when it thought of its increasingly bloated body, Diandian Flying Cat gritted its teeth and forced itself to continue flying around the yard.

"Diandian!"

At this moment, Diandian Flying Cat's gaze was more determined than ever before.

Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Since Diandian Flying Cat realized this problem, although it had avoided and slacked off during the weight loss process, it finally persevered.

This is much better than many lazy people who buy gym courses and subscribe to gym software memberships but refuse to exercise.

Walking out of the yard, Chen Yuan went straight to the fish pond.

Compared to its bare appearance at the beginning, the periphery of the fish pond now has several stones of different sizes placed around it. Chen Yuan is also planning to plant a few spiritual plants here.

Many aquatic plants are planted in the water, which can not only decorate the fish pond but also purify the water quality.

Chen Yuan looked around and did not see Runrun Duck's figure, so he shouted, "Duck Duck, let's go."

Splash ~

Runrun Duck jumped out of the water, still holding an ordinary small crucian carp in its mouth. It swallowed it in one gulp and slowly walked towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but glare at it: "The little fish in the fish pond are almost eaten up by you."

"Quack quack ~"

Runrun Duck put its flippers on its hips and raised its head.

It's a matter of course for Duck Duck to eat fish.

"By the way, how are those three Wave-patterned Salmon? You didn't secretly eat them, did you?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked.

"Quack!"

Runrun Duck instantly widened its eyes, its expression indignant.

You can question Duck Duck's strength, but you can't insult my duck-ality!

Humans have personality, and Duck Duck also has duck-ality!

"I'm just asking. Of course, it's best if they're okay." Chen Yuan smiled sheepishly, then changed the subject, "Let's go, it's time to go to Mingyu Lake."

"Quack quack ~"

Runrun Duck nodded first, and was just about to set off when it suddenly remembered something, and its legs that had stepped out suddenly stopped.

"Are you scared?" Chen Yuan glanced at Runrun Duck.

"Quack!"

Runrun Duck widened its eyes again.

How can you slander Duck Duck out of thin air!

"Then why aren't you leaving?" Chen Yuan said.

"Quack."

Runrun Duck's aura suddenly weakened a lot, and that pair of light blue eyes reflected the mysterious and deep cave, as well as those mysterious orange eyes.

"If you're not ready yet, we can wait a few more days before going. It's not urgent anyway," Chen Yuan said gently when he saw this.

Although the Level 3 resource Spirit Shade Mushroom is important, Runrun Duck is a member of the farm, and its wishes should be fully respected.

"Quack!"

Hearing this, Runrun Duck shook its head vigorously, trying to shake these images out of its head, until it was about to shake itself dizzy, and then it walked towards Chen Yuan with shaky steps.

The lineup for this trip to Mingyu Lake is the same as last time—Chen Yuan, Spark, Cola, and Runrun Duck.

Cola drove the electric tricycle all the way at top speed, and soon arrived at Mingyu Lake.

Chen Yuan even felt that his current driving skills might not be better than Cola's.

He used to be quite worried when Cola was driving, and had to be vigilant about the surrounding environment and pay attention to Cola's operation, but now he closes his eyes and rests as soon as he gets in the car.

"Maybe I can really teach Cola how to drive a car?"

Chen Yuan rubbed his chin, his thoughts wandering: "Then take Cola to take the C1 driver's license test, which is estimated to scare the examiner."

Lost in thought, Chen Yuan had already arrived at Mingyu Lake.

As usual, many anglers gathered on the shore of Mingyu Lake. Regardless of whether it was windy or rainy, they would appear here on time every day.

Chen Yuan hung the action camera around Runrun Duck's neck, and then said to the latter with a solemn face: "Duck Duck, this time I'm entrusting it to you."

"Quack quack!" Runrun Duck nodded repeatedly, grinning and showing a smile.

Leave it to Duck Duck.

"Do you still remember the sign of the Spirit Shade Mushroom maturing?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Quack." Runrun Duck tilted its head, its eyes showing thought, and then nodded.

Chen Yuan emphasized: "After the Spirit Shade Mushroom matures, the light it emits is light yellow."

After a slight pause, he said earnestly: "After entering the water, we can't help you. You must pay attention to safety yourself."

"If you encounter danger, put your own safety first. The Spirit Shade Mushroom is not as important as you."

"Quack quack quack ~"

Hearing this, Runrun Duck immediately ran over and hugged Chen Yuan's leg, crying with emotion.

Chen Yuan looked at Runrun Duck, who was revealing its true feelings and was moved to tears, smiled, and was about to say something, but saw the latter suddenly raise its head: "Quack quack quack!"

Before Duck Duck goes into the water, can it still eat a delicious fruit and have a side of deep-fried spirit fish?

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

He should have known long ago that Runrun Duck is not the type to be easily moved.

"Hurry up and get in the water."

Along with Chen Yuan's voice, Runrun Duck swaggered to the lake, then took a deep breath, waved its wings at Cola, and jumped into the water.

Looking at the splash of water that was stirred up, and the disappeared Runrun Duck, Cola slowly walked to the lake, lowered its head and stared at the gradually calming lake surface, its emotions obviously very low: "Awoo."

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan touched the dog's head.

"Awoo awoo ~"

Cola turned its head and gave a aggrieved look.

I can't fly or dive. What use am I?

Chen Yuan smiled dumbly: "We all have our own strengths."

"Spark can fly, and Duck Duck can swim, but they can't run as fast as you on land."

"You just need to become the fastest pet beast on land."

"This is my expectation of you."

"Awoo!"
