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

After leaving the office, Chen Yuan began searching for the two animals that were evolving yesterday.

【Fire Woolly Dog collected for the first time, Source Point plus one】

【Race: Fire Woolly Dog

Attribute: Fire

Level: 1 (First Order)

Affection: 21

Skills: Flame Surge (Elementary 0.2 / 3) +

Quality: Common

Conditions for Promotion to Elite Quality: Unlockable (5.1 / 5)】

This Fire Woolly Dog used to be a Chinese Pastoral Dog as well, but I didn't expect its evolution result to be different from Cola's.

“Clearly, even the same creature can evolve into different extraordinary creatures.”

“What factors led to the different evolutionary results?”

As for the other "Doudou Chicken" that was evolving, it was still in the process of evolving, which disappointed Chen Yuan somewhat.

“But there are enough Source Points!” Looking at the Source Points in the data panel, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up and his expression became excited.

With a thought, he summoned Spark's data panel.

【Race: Flame Cloud Falcon

Attribute: Fire

Level: 2 (First Order)

Affection: 38

Skills: Flame Surge (Elementary 2.8 / 3) +

Quality: Common

Conditions for Promotion to Elite Quality: Unlockable (5.1 / 5)】

Chen Yuan subconsciously looked at Spark perched on his shoulder, who seemed to sense it and turned to look back.

Those azure blue eyes were as clear as lake water.

Chen Yuan no longer hesitated, and with a thought, said, "Unlock it for me!"

With anticipation and excitement, Chen Yuan watched as the line of data on the panel jumped rapidly:

【Advancement Requirements: Consume two Tier 2 resource Flame Fruits, any Proficient level skill】

“Flame Fruit?”

Chen Yuan looked puzzled and secretly guessed: “This should be the spiritual plant that Jiang Wenning mentioned, right?”

“But where am I going to find Flame Fruits?”

“However, a Proficient level skill is relatively simple. Spark will soon meet the requirements.”

During today's symposium, an expert clearly pointed out the division of extraordinary creature skill proficiency, from lowest to highest: Elementary, Proficient, Master, Perfect.

According to the data panel display, Spark's [Flame Surge] proficiency is 2.7. As long as it is raised to 3, it can be promoted to Proficient level.

Just as Chen Yuan was muttering to himself, an extremely red, unknown fruit suddenly appeared in his mind, covered with a layer of faint flames on the surface, and its overall shape was somewhat similar to an apple.

Intuition told him that this was the appearance of the Flame Fruit.

Chen Yuan didn't have time to sigh at the system's great power, so he quickly ran back to the bedroom, took out a paintbrush and a piece of A4 paper from the creaking drawer cabinet, and tried to replicate the appearance of the Flame Fruit on the paper as much as possible.

As a former painting enthusiast, Chen Yuan was confident that he could do this.

“Woof.”

Cola trotted to Chen Yuan's side, whimpering listlessly. Seeing that the latter ignored it, it drooped its ears and retreated from the bedroom.

“Chirp?”

Spark quietly landed on Chen Yuan's shoulder, lowered its head, and its dark blue eyes quietly stared at the drawing paper, gradually flashing with light.

After a long time,

“Hoo.”

Chen Yuan let out a long breath, threw down the paintbrush in his hand, and looked at the content in the drawing paper with a satisfied nod: “It seems that my painting skills haven’t deteriorated too much.”

Instead of searching for the Flame Fruit aimlessly, it would be better to draw it and ask Jiang Wenning and Chen Wenhao, who are studying at the Beast Taming Academy, to pay attention.

When it comes to knowledge about Beast Taming, that is the place of authority.

Just as Chen Yuan was about to take a photo and send it to Chen Wenhao, Spark on his shoulder suddenly jumped down lightly beside the drawing paper, stared at it carefully for a while, and suddenly flapped its wings, making a sharp cry: “Chirp chirp chirp!”

It pointed to the Flame Fruit in the drawing paper for a while, and then looked up at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan, who was connected to Spark's mind, was immediately speechless, and only said after a long while: “Have you seen this fruit before?”

“Chirp!” Spark nodded heavily, then puffed out its chest high, looking smug.

At the same time, the corner of its eye quickly scanned around, but it didn't find Cola's figure, which made its originally smug spirit wither.

“Where did you see it?” Chen Yuan didn't notice Spark's expression change and asked.

Spark lowered its head and thought for a while, then pointed to a certain direction outside the window: “Chirp!”

Chen Yuan pressed his chin with his hand and pondered: “Isn’t that the direction you flew from?”

“Chirp chirp chirp!” Spark nodded heavily like a chick pecking at rice, and then endlessly described the scene when it encountered the Flame Fruit.

After listening for a while, Chen Yuan suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly interrupted: “Why is this scene exactly the same as when you encountered the fruit that allowed you to evolve?”

Wait!

Red fruit!

Chen Yuan's pupils shrank and his mouth opened slightly: “Do you mean that these two fruits are actually the same kind!”

“Chirp.”

Spark tilted its head, its simple eyes revealing confusion.

Isn't this obvious?

“Cough.” Chen Yuan, who realized this belatedly, gave an awkward laugh, then clenched his fist and shouted, “In that case, let's set off now to find the Flame Fruit!”

Even if it's not the Flame Fruit, that kind of red fruit can naturally promote its current growth since it can allow Spark to evolve.

No matter what, it's a sure profit!

The high-spirited Chen Yuan had just stepped out of the door when he suddenly saw the gradually dimming sky, and couldn't help but turn to look at Spark and ask, "How far is it to get there?"

There is no mistake, one first, one inside, one content, one is watching!

“Chirp?” Spark blinked its eyes without any response.

“Well, it's useless to ask you.” Chen Yuan patted his head, not expecting Spark to be able to calculate the exact distance.

“At least Spark needs to learn elementary school textbook knowledge.” A thought silently sprouted in his heart.

“Forget it, let’s go tomorrow.” After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yuan decided to cancel the plan for now.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were only a few hours left until dark.

And this trip is probably a long way. Once it is dark and still lingering outside, it is inevitable to encounter danger.

The wilderness after the spiritual energy recovery is much more dangerous than before.

The village chief, who used to spend his days in the office drinking tea and chatting, has been forced to lead the villagers and dogs to patrol the surroundings these days to prevent wild animals with drastic changes in temperament from invading Xuanhe Village.

“Anyway, there’s no rush.”

With this in mind, Chen Yuan decided to set off to find it tomorrow morning.

Chen Yuan, who stayed on the farm, brought Cola back and supervised Spark and Cola's training again.

The former was extremely serious and focused during training, and didn't need Chen Yuan to nag too much, repeating the [Flame Surge] practice over and over again.

The latter was distracted from time to time during training. Whether it was a butterfly passing by with its wings spread, or a small insect jumping in the grass, it would immediately attract its attention.

In order to correct Cola's training attitude, Chen Yuan had to take out a wooden stick from the warehouse and wave it in front of Cola.

The stick whistled, and the wind howled.

Cola quickly restrained its thoughts, took a deep breath, concentrated its attention on the front, and tried to use [Wind Blade].

The Wind Blade roared past, accurately hitting the iron box ten meters away, and the huge impact caused the iron box to shake violently.

“Woof woof woof!”

Cola quickly became excited, its tail twitching left and right, looking at Chen Yuan with anticipation.

But Chen Yuan's attention at this moment was all attracted by Spark's data panel:

【Race: Flame Cloud Falcon

Attribute: Fire

Level: 3 (First Order)

Affection: 39

Skills: Flame Surge (Elementary 2.9 / 3) + Flame Cage (Elementary 0.1 / 3) +

Quality: Common

Conditions for Promotion to Elite Quality: Unlocked】

Spark not only increased its level by one, but also independently learned a new skill—Flame Cage!

Chen Yuan couldn't wait to say: “Spark, show me Flame Cage.”

“Chirp!”

Spark responded spiritedly, then held its breath and concentrated, its eyes bright, aimed at the iron barrel directly in front, and suddenly flapped its wings!

For a time,

A ring of flames slowly emerged, the orange-yellow flames constantly churning, but always maintained the most basic shape.

This ring of flames gradually approached the iron barrel, and constantly contracted like a python constricting its abdomen, eventually surrounding the iron barrel in the middle, and clusters of flames continued to burn.

Compared to [Flame Surge], the power of [Flame Cage] seemed to be insufficient, and the instantaneous burst power was almost zero.

“This seems to be a control skill.” Chen Yuan rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

The ring of flames surrounded the iron barrel in the middle and continued to burn, which seemed somewhat similar to Sun Wukong's “Drawing a Circle on the Ground”.

Those inside can't get out, and those outside can't get in.
