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

“Stop.”

Cola loosened its acceleration, looked around, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it had completely stopped and hadn't hit anything.

Yay!

It successfully drove from the farm to here!

A look of ecstasy and triumph suddenly appeared on the face wearing sunglasses. Cola shook its head, waiting for its master's praise.

“Good job.”

Cola's mouth split into a big grin. It wanted to imitate Spark and pretend to be reserved, but the triumphant expression on its face couldn't be suppressed.

Chen Yuan stroked his chin and thought, “It seems like things will be a lot easier in the future.”

Compared to driving, he preferred to sit in the passenger seat and enjoy the scenery.

The one human and two pets got out of the car, and Chen Yuan headed towards Mingyu Lake with his fishing gear.

Along the way,

Cola's performance was particularly excited, either darting into the jungle quickly or circling around Chen Yuan, barking non-stop.

“Chirp~”

Spark glanced at Cola with extreme disdain, but its dark blue eyes were calm.

Forget it, let it be proud for a while.

Anyway, it can't beat me.

In the blink of an eye, Mingyu Lake was close at hand.

Compared to yesterday, there were more fishing enthusiasts around Mingyu Lake, about a dozen.

Obviously, the news of Chen Yuan catching a spirit fish yesterday was continuing to ferment.

Fortunately, Mingyu Lake's location was hidden and remote, otherwise it would definitely attract a swarm of fishing enthusiasts, disturbing this tranquil environment.

Seeing Chen Yuan approaching, these people stood up and greeted him one after another.

“Little Chen, you're here to fish again?”

“Your grandpa was telling us this morning how filial you are, saying that fish was big and delicious.”

Chen Yuan smiled helplessly.

No wonder the old man disappeared early in the morning; it turned out he ran to the village to brag.

After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, Chen Yuan found a good spot and replicated Zhang Hao's fishing steps.

He didn't sit down until he had cast his fishing rod.

Next... it was time to compete in patience.

Fishing is about skill, luck, and, more importantly, the transcendent state of mind of fishing alone for eternity.

Seeing the fishing rod cast, Spark closed its eyes to rest. Cola originally wanted to dart into the jungle to play, but suddenly remembered that it had missed a lot of things last time because of playing, and forcibly restrained its inner thoughts.

“Woof~”

It lay listlessly at Chen Yuan's feet, staring blankly at the calm lake surface.

Ah, the water is so blue.

Are there many fish inside?

Why doesn't Master just go underwater to catch fish?

Time is like the leisurely white clouds in the sky. When you stare at them, the white clouds drift slowly, silent and still; when you are distracted for a moment, they have already drifted away.

In a daze, it was already four in the afternoon.

In the bucket beside Chen Yuan, besides a few common small fish, there wasn't a single spirit fish.

The other fishing enthusiasts were the same, not catching a single spirit fish.

“Could it be that all the luck was used up yesterday?” Chen Yuan rested his right hand on his chin, wondering secretly.

At the bottom of Mingyu Lake,

The lake water was clear, the aquatic plants swayed, and cold-water fish chased and frolicked among the pebbles and aquatic plants.

Just then, a blue figure burst out, startling the fish and causing them to flee in panic.

“Gaa gaa gaa~”

Seeing the fish disappear instantly, Runrun Duck laughed triumphantly.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of light blue eyes turned non-stop, as if searching for something.

Suddenly,

It saw a faint, slender yellow figure appearing in a corner covered with pebbles. Its eyes lit up instantly, and its short body suddenly darted forward, showing an extremely fast speed that didn't match its physique.

Ripples rippled, flowing around the white body.

Seeing Runrun Duck rushing aggressively, this golden carp turned around and was about to flee.

But Runrun Duck's speed was too fast, and it caught up with the golden carp in an instant. The yellow and flat beak opened and bit down!

The golden carp didn't even have time to react before swimming into Runrun Duck's belly.

“Gaa~”

Runrun Duck couldn't help but burp, a look of enjoyment on its face. It patted its slightly bulging abdomen and searched around for hiding spirit fish.

This kind of fish is delicious, but there are too few of them, and they will escape if you are not careful. It is difficult to catch them.

Fortunately, this time I encountered a stupid fish.

Runrun Duck was thinking wildly when it suddenly saw a strange thing floating under the lake surface. It subconsciously opened its mouth and bit down.

“Last half hour, going home if no fish come.” Looking at Cola, who was bored to the point of spacing out, Chen Yuan said this.

“Woof~”

Cola drooped its ears, didn't even raise its head, and perfunctorily responded to its master.

It had heard this sentence several times.

Without exception, every first, every release, every content, every look!

But the result was that no fish were caught, and no one went home.

“Hmm, a big one is coming?” Feeling the movement of the fishing rod, Chen Yuan suddenly raised his head, his expression surprised.

This heavy pulling force is definitely not a small fry!

“Woof!” Cola immediately raised its eyes, its eyes shining, cheering for its master.

“It's a bit heavy, but I can do it.” Chen Yuan stood up, stabilized his center of gravity, tightened his arms, and suddenly exerted force.

Cola watched this scene, wagging its tail, its face full of tension.

Whether it can eat spirit fish depends on now.

“Hoo!”

After a moment of stalemate and tug-of-war, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, used all his strength, and yanked the fishing rod upwards!

The next moment, a white figure leaped out of the water with the flying fishing line and fell solidly on the shore of the lake.

Chen Yuan was stunned in place.

It was indeed a big one.

But how is it a duck!

This duck-like transcendent creature was covered in white feathers, with a fluffy hairstyle made of light blue feathers on its head, and a yellow heart-shaped symbol prominently displayed on its chest.

This is a very flamboyant transcendent creature.

Chen Yuan thought for a long time and finally remembered the name of this transcendent creature—Runrun Duck, a water-type pet beast.

“Didn't catch a spirit fish, but caught a Runrun Duck instead?” Chen Yuan was a little dumbfounded.

And in the distance, seeing that Chen Yuan didn't catch a spirit fish, the fishing enthusiasts breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

“Gaa gaa gaa!”

Runrun Duck tore off the fishhook in its mouth, glaring at the fishing rod in Chen Yuan's hand with a face full of indignation, its oval blue eyes filled with anger.

Chen Yuan silently threw away the fishing rod in his hand and spread out his hands, saying, “Or, will you listen to my explanation first?”

“Gaa gaa gaa!”

Runrun Duck refused Chen Yuan's explanation and sprayed out a swift water column.

“Chirp!”

Spark suddenly opened its sharp eyes, flames surging in its mouth, and a scorching fire would erupt the next second.

However, Cola's response was even faster. Its eyes flickered with excitement, and it stepped forward without hesitation to protect Chen Yuan behind it. At the same time, gusts of wind blades howled out!

Bang bang bang!

The wind blades and the water column collided violently in mid-air, stalemating each other for a long time, making intense noises, but also annihilating each other.

After a confrontation, it was a tie.

Chen Yuan first looked at the still angry Runrun Duck, and then looked at Cola, whose face was full of expectation. He had no choice but to say, “Cola, I'll leave it to you.”

“Woof woof woof!”

Seeing that it had succeeded in volunteering and was about to usher in its first formal battle, Cola was immediately excited, its eyes shining brightly.

“Spark, you stand guard on the side.”

Cola was immediately silent.
