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

After successfully obtaining the Spirit Shroom, Chen Yuan didn't have time to worry about anything else and hurried home.

According to the footage recorded by the action camera, the mysterious, strong frog seemed not angry that Runrun Duck had taken the Spirit Shroom, but only wanted to drive it away.

It was just that the strong frog's attitude was not good, which angered Runrun Duck, thus triggering a fierce battle.

Behind that deep rock wall passage, there were obviously deeper secrets hidden.

But Chen Yuan got the Spirit Shroom as he wished and was not curious about other secrets.

As long as it doesn't affect his normal life and doesn't cause a negative impact on the surrounding environment, he doesn't care what secrets there are.

Driving back home at full speed, Chen Yuan quickly carried the Spirit Shroom into the hall, placed it on the table, and carefully examined it.

【First time collecting Spirit Shroom, Source Points +5】

【Name: Spirit Shroom

Level: Tier 3 Resource

Effect: Can be used to enhance mental power】

Even after leaving the deep cave environment, the Spirit Shroom still emitted a faint yellow light.

Although its appearance was a bit strange, Chen Yuan felt a strange desire surge in his heart as soon as he saw it, a desire that made him want to swallow it in one gulp.

But according to his younger brother, the Spirit Shroom needs to be soaked in water before consumption.

Chen Yuan suppressed the desire in his heart and quickly boiled a pot of hot water, placing the Spirit Shroom in a pot and soaking it in the hot water.

Afterward,

Chen Yuan stayed by the Spirit Shroom, staring at it intently as it visibly began to shrink.

Five minutes felt particularly long to Chen Yuan at this moment. He felt like he had waited a long, long time, finally waiting for the Spirit Shroom to shrink to the size of his palm.

"Ga ga."

Hmm, it doesn't taste like anything.

Not fragrant, not sweet, not bitter, not sour.

He originally thought about letting his grandfather eat the Spirit Shroom, maybe he could directly become a Beastmaster.

But Chen Wenhao said that Tier 3 resources like the Spirit Shroom can only be used by Beastmasters. Ordinary people's bodies cannot withstand the injection of a large amount of mental power, so he had to give up this idea.

When Chen Yuan ate the Spirit Shroom, he instantly felt a strange reaction occurring in his body, his mental power boiling like boiling water.

Chen Yuan quickly ran into the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and assumed a meditative posture.

"Ga?"

Runrun Duck was stunned to see Chen Yuan running past it.

Why isn't Duck Duck's fried small fish coming yet!

Chen Yuan had no time to pay attention to Runrun Duck at the moment. All his attention was focused on meditation, allowing no distraction.

Soon, Chen Yuan could clearly feel his mental power increasing at a rapid pace. If his previous mental power strength was a small stream, now streams were merging into it, until it expanded into a small river.

However, this expansion continued until evening.

Chen Weiyi returned home and looked inside through the door that was not tightly closed. Seeing Chen Yuan still maintaining his meditative posture, he gently closed the door and went to the kitchen.

"Ga ga ~"

Still sitting on the stool, Runrun Duck, whose stomach was already growling with hunger, quickly jumped to the ground, trotted to Chen Weiyi, and chirped softly.

Duck Duck is hungry.

"Fried small fish for you right away." Chen Weiyi smiled and took a frozen spirit fish from the refrigerator, frying it while preparing dinner for Chen Yuan.

Before long,

Runrun Duck sat back on the stool, its feet flapping up and down like small boat paddles, staring expectantly at Chen Weiyi bringing the fried small fish.

"Fried small fish is here." Chen Weiyi smiled and placed the fried small fish in front of Runrun Duck, then turned his head to look at Chen Yuan's bedroom, his face showing worry, "I wonder how much longer it will take."

Cola and Spark stood like two door gods on either side of the bedroom door. Cola was getting sleepy and wanted to yawn, but was afraid of disturbing the master in the bedroom, so he quickly covered his mouth with his paw.

Spark silently closed its eyes, standing quietly, seemingly uninterested in everything around it.

But if any strange thing tried to disturb Chen Yuan, it would launch an attack without mercy.

Electric Flying Cat lay beside the door, sometimes looking at the apple on the ground, sometimes looking at Runrun Duck tasting the fried small fish, feeling depressed.

It also wanted to eat fried small fish.

But looking down at its slightly bloated body, Electric Flying Cat sighed deeply and chewed the apple heartily.

Nothing wrong, a first, a first, an inner, a capacity, a look, a look!

The apple, which it usually found delicious, was tasteless at this moment.

Bang!

Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened from the inside, and a figure slowly walked out.

"Aww!"

Cola's sleepiness instantly disappeared, and it excitedly raised its head; Spark suddenly opened its eyes, looking at Chen Yuan with anticipation; Runrun Duck also turned its head to look, and after seeing that the farm owner was safe and sound, it immediately turned back to focus on the fried small fish.

"Hungry, right? Eat first?" Chen Weiyi said with a smile while watching the evening news in the hall.

Chen Yuan nodded, then said to the little guys, "Thank you for guarding me all afternoon."

"Aww aww."

Cola excitedly pounced on Chen Yuan, Spark arrogantly turned its head away, Runrun Duck ignored him completely, and Electric Flying Cat looked at the apple sadly.

Chen Yuan sat down to eat dinner. He didn't speak, concentrating on finishing the food on the table.

Ten minutes later,

Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks, touched his slightly bulging stomach, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Finally full."

With a thought, Chen Yuan summoned his current personal panel:

【Host: Chen Yuan

Level: Intermediate Beastmaster

Skills: Telepathy

Mental Shield (Can resist attacks)

Source Points: 8.1】

After being enhanced by the Tier 3 resource Spirit Shroom, Chen Yuan's mental power level greatly improved, directly advancing from a Beginner Beastmaster to an Intermediate Beastmaster.

And after successfully advancing, his physical fitness also increased accordingly.

"My speed can be considered first-tier, right?" The smile on Chen Yuan's face grew even wider.

He is not a particularly diligent Beastmaster. His daily meditation time is limited to the night. Being able to become an Intermediate Beastmaster so quickly is thanks to the Spirit Shroom, which directly saved him a lot of meditation effort.

And after becoming an Intermediate Beastmaster, he awakened another Beastmaster skill — Mental Shield.

Chen Yuan had previously thought about this issue — in formal pet battles, the pets of both sides do not attack the opponent's Beastmaster.

But if you encounter hostile wild pets in the wild, or Beastmasters who do evil, the Beastmaster's own safety becomes a major problem.

But now with the Mental Shield, the Beastmaster has a certain ability to protect himself.

Chen Yuan was even thinking, when the Beastmaster level gets higher and higher, will he awaken skills with offensive power, and then fight side by side with the pet?

"A humanoid pet, huh?" Chen Yuan smiled.

But now he is not preparing to rush to test the strength of the Mental Shield. There is a more important thing waiting for him to do.

Chen Yuan left the dining table, strode to Cola, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Cola, will you fight side by side with me in the future?"

"Aww aww."
