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

The sun set behind the western mountains, the evening glow filled the sky.

“Whew, finally back.” Chen Yuan looked at his farm bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the Flame-tailed Fox had confidently stated that the Flame Flame Fruit was safe in the tree hole, Chen Yuan waited until it had eaten the Flame Flame Fruit and completely digested it before leaving.

This delayed him for quite some time.

“Woof!”

Cola, already evolved into a transcendent creature, was not tired at all. It rushed into the farm excitedly and ran towards Chen Weiyi, who was standing under a tree.

“You’re back?” Chen Weiyi turned his head, touched the smiling Cola, and looked at Chen Yuan, who was walking slowly.

“Grandpa, how is the wasteland reclamation going?” Chen Yuan asked.

Chen Weiyi pointed to the Steel-headed Groundhog busy in the wasteland and said with a smile, “This kid is very efficient. It will be finished in a day or two at most.”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

The Steel-headed Groundhog’s work ethic and efficiency were admirable. It slept in its burrow during the day and came out to reclaim the wasteland in the evening.

This guy didn’t even need supervision. As long as vegetables were placed beside it, it could work hard all night.

When there were more pet beasts in the farm in the future, Chen Yuan would definitely award the Steel-headed Groundhog the “Best Employee” award to set an example.

Perhaps sensing that someone was discussing it, the Steel-headed Groundhog looked up, its serious face full of enthusiasm and dedication to its work.

Seeing that the two of them did not issue any instructions, the Steel-headed Groundhog buried its head again and diligently tilled the land.

“Look at its work ethic.” Chen Yuan glared at Cola.

Cola, a famous slacker, spent half its time sleeping while guarding the house, and the other half chasing butterflies.

“Woof!”

Cola smiled sheepishly and quickly lowered its head to avoid Chen Yuan’s gaze, pretending to look for ants on the ground.

Walking into the yard,

Chen Yuan put the two Flame Flame Fruits aside, and then had time to study the system panel:

【First time collecting Flame Flame Fruit, Source Point +2】

【Name: Flame Flame Fruit

Level: Second-level resource

Effect: Can be used to strengthen fire-type pet beasts】

“Second-level resource, Source Point +2?” Chen Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

According to 《Pet Beast Knowledge》, spirit plants are divided into several levels from low to high, with level one being the lowest, corresponding to pet beasts of ordinary quality.

Simply put, if pet beasts of ordinary quality want to strengthen themselves, it is best to use level one resources, which can perfectly fit their bodies.

Second-level resources correspond to elite quality, so they can get more Source Points.

“One Flame Flame Fruit allowed the Flame Cloud Falcon to transform from an ordinary creature into a transcendent creature, and two can allow it to advance to elite. Doesn’t this mean that the resources required for a pet beast to advance must be one level higher than itself?” Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly as he pondered.

But in any case, with two Flame Flame Fruits in hand, the Flame Cloud Falcon’s 【Flame Surge】 was already at the proficient level, and advancement was imminent.

“Are you ready?” Chen Yuan looked at the Flame Cloud Falcon and asked in a deep voice.

“Chirp!” The Flame Cloud Falcon spread its wings, its eyes filled with confidence, and responded loudly.

Cola silently retreated to the corner, quietly waiting for the Flame Cloud Falcon’s performance.

“Okay.”

Chen Yuan fixed the camera on a stool, turned on the recording mode, and then said to the Flame Cloud Falcon, “Use Flame Surge.”

“Chirp!”

The Flame Cloud Falcon’s eyes flashed, and suddenly it spewed out a thick stream of fire, the flames surging and the heat billowing.

Compared to the rudimentary level, the proficient level 【Flame Surge】 was much more powerful, and the originally light orange flames were mixed with deep orange.

After demonstrating the proficient level 【Flame Surge】, Chen Yuan placed the two Flame Flame Fruits in front of the camera and said, “You can start now.”

“Chirp.”

The Flame Cloud Falcon nodded lightly and ate the two Flame Flame Fruits in front of the camera.

Its eating speed was not fast, and this process took more than ten minutes. Chen Yuan patiently waited aside.

Almost the moment it ate them, the Flame Cloud Falcon felt as if a flame was churning in its stomach, warm and comfortable, and it couldn’t help but narrow its eyes.

At the same time, the fiery red feathers bloomed with bursts of fire, as if flames were leaping and burning.

Seeing the advancement ceremony begin, Chen Yuan opened his eyes wide to witness this magical process.

“Woof!”

Cola exclaimed in surprise, but suddenly realized that it couldn’t disturb the Flame Cloud Falcon, and quickly stretched out its paw to cover its mouth, staring at the latter with its big dog eyes.

They waited for more than an hour.

Until the sun completely set and the dark sky enveloped the Qinling Mountains, the Flame Cloud Falcon completed its advancement ceremony.

Without exception, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one in, one look!

Its body was a full circle larger than before the advancement, its body looked more symmetrical, its sharp claws extended forward, its wings covered with orange-yellow feathers became wider, and its fiery red feathers became more slender, like flames arrows rushing towards the clouds.

Only those pair of dark blue eyes had not changed at all, and its gaze towards Chen Yuan was full of surprise and excitement.

“Chirp!”

Its voice was more clear and transparent than before the advancement.

In the next moment, the Flame Cloud Falcon flapped its wings violently, a gust of wind rose, and it could immediately take off into the wind.

But the Flame Cloud Falcon seemed to have thought of something, stopped its movements, and instead flew towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan shook his head: “Don’t rush to thank me, this sky now belongs to you.”

“Go and enjoy this moment.”

“Chirp!”

The Flame Cloud Falcon suddenly spread its wings and flew high, dragging a long stream of flames at its tail, like a comet from the universe, flickering with faint light under the dark sky.

“Woof!”

Cola raised its head and stared blankly at the Flame Cloud Falcon soaring freely in the night sky, its round eyes full of envy.

If only, if only I could fly, if only I was so powerful.

“Don’t be envious, you will be like it in the future.” Chen Yuan touched Cola’s head and said with a smile.

“Woof!”

Cola’s originally dim eyes instantly became bright and sparkling, it barked extremely excitedly, and stretched out its tongue to lick Chen Yuan’s cheek.

Chen Yuan stared at the blurry figure in the night sky, stroked Cola’s head, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

【Race: Flame Cloud Falcon

Flame Energy Assault (Rudimentary 0.5/3) +

Conditions for Promotion to Leader Quality: Insufficient Source Points (3/10)】

After the Flame Cloud Falcon landed on the ground, Chen Yuan began to study the data panel after the advancement.

After successfully advancing, the Flame Cloud Falcon’s level increased from 3 to 5, and it also mastered the new skill 【Flame Energy Assault】, and the proficiency of all skills had been improved, and its strength had increased a lot in a short period of time.

“Unlocking the leader quality condition requires ten Source Points, it doesn’t seem like much.” Chen Yuan stroked his chin and pondered.

However, the Flame Cloud Falcon had no intention of paying attention to these at the moment. It stared blankly at Chen Yuan’s shoulder and discovered a very important thing—after its body became larger, it seemed that it could no longer stand on Chen Yuan’s shoulder!!!
