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

Seeing the Flame-tailed Fox shake its head, Chen Yuan was rarely stunned.

He was silent for a moment, then held up three fingers: "Those three?"

The Flame-tailed Fox still shook its head.

"Or, what do you want? I'll find a way to bring it to you," Chen Yuan suggested a different form of exchange.

Thinking about it, the Flame Fruit, as a level-two resource, was extremely beneficial to fire-type pets; how could it be exchanged for three chickens?

Even if the Flame-tailed Fox didn't understand the true value of the Flame Fruit, he knew its preciousness in his heart and shouldn't have had the idea of ​​coveting petty gains.

Even if the trading partner wasn't a human, he should still be respectful and honest.

However, facing Chen Yuan's sincere gaze, the Flame-tailed Fox still shook its head.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In order to successfully obtain the Flame Fruit, Chen Yuan specially added the remaining source points to Spark's [Flame Surge] skill yesterday, successfully raising it to the proficient level.

In this way, even if a supernatural creature occupied the Flame Fruit, he would have the confidence to confront it.

But... facing his old friend, Chen Yuan couldn't bring himself to think about fighting for it.

"It seems I have to think of another way," he thought to himself.

"Woof woof woof!"

Seeing the Flame-tailed Fox not giving its master any face, Coco immediately widened its eyes and barked at the Flame-tailed Fox repeatedly, with wind-type energy surging around it.

"Chirp."

Spark narrowed its eyes, a dangerous glint flashing across its face.

These Flame Fruits were clearly the first ones it discovered!

The Flame-tailed Fox ignored the two little guys; it stared at Chen Yuan for a while, then suddenly turned and ran towards the Flame Fruit tree.

It moved lightly, its limbs gently touching the ground, nimbly leaping onto the thick tree trunk.

"Sang Biao, what are you doing?" Chen Yuan asked, a look of confusion on his face.

Hearing this hateful name, the Flame-tailed Fox paused, almost falling; fortunately, it reacted in time and quickly stabilized itself.

"Ying."

The Flame-tailed Fox stood on the branch, casting a resentful look at Chen Yuan.

How could such a hateful, rude, ugly, and barbaric name be associated with such a gentle, lovely, beautiful, and elegant creature like itself?

Thoughts flashed through its mind.

The Flame-tailed Fox carefully poked its head out, its sharp claws reaching for a Flame Fruit.

Bang!

A Flame Fruit fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, the shallow flames on its skin continuing to burn.

Before Chen Yuan could react, the Flame-tailed Fox scurried up and down like a squirrel, using the same method to knock all the remaining three Flame Fruits to the ground.

"Ying."

After doing all this, the Flame-tailed Fox lightly landed on the ground, picked up a Flame Fruit in its mouth, and placed it in front of Chen Yuan.

"You mean to give it to me?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

The Flame-tailed Fox didn't respond, but quickly returned to the tree and picked up two more Flame Fruits, placing them at Chen Yuan's feet.

Until it stood in front of the last Flame Fruit, the Flame-tailed Fox's movements were a little slow, its outstretched claws trembling slightly, its eyes full of reluctance.

Remembering the taste of the Flame Fruit, saliva couldn't help but secrete from its mouth, a happy expression appearing on its face.

It was a deliciousness that could not be described in words, even more tempting than little chicks.

But...

This human had saved it and taken care of it so carefully for so long.

In that instant, the Flame-tailed Fox recalled that cold winter last year, remembering the warm embrace and the happy days without worrying about food and drink.

"Ying."

The Flame-tailed Fox seemed to have made some kind of determination, resolutely picked up the last Flame Fruit, and placed it in front of Chen Yuan.

"Giving them all to me?"

Chen Yuan squatted down, not looking at the Flame Fruit, but meeting the Flame-tailed Fox's gaze.

The two of them returned to that cold winter.

"Ying~" The Flame-tailed Fox nodded gently, then turned its head away, forcing itself not to look at the Flame Fruit on the ground.

"Well..."

Seeing the Flame-tailed Fox's reaction, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth slightly raised, his voice light: "We don't need so many."

Such a large Flame Fruit tree only nurtured a single-digit number of Flame Fruits, enough to prove its preciousness.

"Two is enough." Chen Yuan placed two Flame Fruits in front of him, and pushed the remaining two in front of the Flame-tailed Fox.

In that instant, Chen Yuan clearly noticed the Flame-tailed Fox's eyes light up, a fluorescent glow blooming in its dark green eyes.

"Ying!"

But the Flame-tailed Fox didn't respond directly, but pushed the Flame Fruit again, making it move away from itself and closer to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan said amusedly: "How did you, a little fox, learn to decline? It's not like giving red envelopes during the New Year."

There is nothing wrong with a first, a first, a first, a content, a content, and a look!

"Alright, take them quickly, I really only want two."

Watching Chen Yuan's sincere gaze, the Flame-tailed Fox finally smiled happily and quickly hid the two Flame Fruits under its body.

Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "I came in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring anything, I'll bring you something delicious next time I come to the mountain."

"By the way, do you live nearby?"

"Ying~" The Flame-tailed Fox nodded happily, then rubbed Chen Yuan's palm with its fluffy head.

Chen Yuan stroked the Flame-tailed Fox's smooth fur, and a bold idea suddenly emerged in his heart: "Why don't you come back with me and live on my farm?"

If it were before, it would be fine, but now is a special period, and the Flame-tailed Fox can completely appear in his home openly.

Hearing this, Coco suddenly raised its head, its eyes wide.

Danger danger danger!

There's really going to be another competitor!

Spark didn't overreact, but carefully looked at the Flame-tailed Fox, thinking about how long it would take to beat it down.

However, facing Chen Yuan's invitation, the Flame-tailed Fox shook its head: "Ying ying ying."

Admittedly, the days in Xuanhe Village were leisurely and happy, and there were no threats from other animals.

But...

The Flame-tailed Fox didn't want to be confined to a small world; it preferred to run freely in the jungle.

When the long night came, it preferred to curl up in the cold, cramped tree hole.

This was its home.

Chen Yuan wasn't surprised by the Flame-tailed Fox's choice, and smiled: "Okay, I'll look for you next time I come to the mountain, and bring you something delicious."

"Ying!"

The Flame-tailed Fox responded happily, stuck out its tongue and licked Chen Yuan's cheek, its fluffy tail swaying from side to side.

This time, Coco no longer felt danger.

"By the way, since other supernatural creatures are eyeing the Flame Fruit, you should hurry up and eat it."

"You can eat one now, we'll protect you."

According to [Beast Taming Knowledge], after taking spiritual plants, it takes a while to digest them, allowing the energy contained in the spiritual plants to be completely absorbed by the body.

And during this time, the supernatural creature's ability to cope with danger will decrease slightly.

Originally, the Flame Fruit was hanging on the tree, and it was difficult for other supernatural creatures to forcibly snatch or steal it, but now that the two Flame Fruits have fallen to the ground, it is inevitable that they will be discovered hidden in the tree hole.

While they were still there, the Flame-tailed Fox might as well eat them all, so as not to be targeted.

If he caused the Flame Fruit to be stolen, Chen Yuan would feel very bad.

Faced with Chen Yuan's concerns, the Flame-tailed Fox raised its head slightly, its eyes filled with confidence: "Ying!"

Here, I am the most powerful!

Whoever dares to steal my Flame Fruit, I will beat it to death!
