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

At the same time, Chen Yuan, taking a close look at the plump duck beside the oil pot, noticed several shallow scars on its body, as if it had been injured by some sharp weapon.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who were you fighting with?"

Hearing this, the plump duck immediately raised its head, its originally calm round face instantly becoming angry, muttering and complaining.

Just this morning, a hateful fellow snatched away the spirit fish it had painstakingly caught!!!

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

Case closed.

Finally, he knew why the gray-feathered falcon had injuries.

Kele on the side was righteously indignant, baring its fangs and roaring, aggressively expressing its intention to avenge its friend.

“Ga ga ga～”

Seeing Kele's intense reaction, the plump duck was greatly moved.

What a good friend, duck～

Chen Yuan looked at these two good friends who had known each other for less than half an hour and stroked his chin: "Although the gray-feathered falcon has an advantage in the air, it shouldn't be a match for these two combined."

Having been a Beastmaster for some time, Chen Yuan increasingly felt the natural advantage of being able to fly.

As long as you can fly, you can endlessly kite and exhaust your opponent, and even if you can't win, you can still escape.

A moment later,

the fried small fish in the pot had been completely plundered by the two little fellows.

“Ga?”

The plump duck first tilted its head, looking a little dazed, then stretched its head into the oil pot and searched carefully. After failing to find any fried small fish, it revealed a disappointed expression.

“Awoo.”

Kele slumped on the ground, also sighing and groaning.

Chen Yuan glared at the two little fellows fiercely: "If you want to eat fish, catch them yourselves!"

He was still busy fishing for spirit fish.

Kele subconsciously looked at the calm and clear lake surface, shaking its head rapidly.

“Ga.”

Seeing its good friend's reaction, the plump duck patted its chest without hesitation, its butt slightly raised, and its fluffy hairstyle bounced left and right like jelly.

Duck duck can catch fish!

In the next moment,

the plump duck jumped into Bright Gorge Lake, splashing water everywhere, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yuan leaned close to Kele's ear and whispered: "I'll give you a mission."

“Awoo?”

Kele's triangular ears perked up sharply, its eyes shining brightly, and its body straightened subconsciously.

"Become true friends with it, and then find a way to trick it into going to our farm," Chen Yuan said.

“Awoo～”

Kele nodded thoughtfully, then barked excitedly, resolutely accepting this task.

Leave it to me!

Half an hour later,

the calm lake surface suddenly rippled. Noticing the movement, Kele suddenly raised its head, its bright blue eyes staring straight ahead—the plump duck, soaked all over, burst out from under the water, with a strangely shaped fish in its mouth.

After going ashore, the plump duck rearranged its fluffy hairstyle and looked at its reflection in the lake, finally nodding in satisfaction.

“Ga ga ga.”

The plump duck placed the strange fish in front of Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked down at the dying strange fish covered in wavy stripes, a smile on his face: "Leave it to me."

[First time collecting Wave-patterned Salmon, Source Point plus one]

[Name: Wave-patterned Salmon

Level: Level One Spirit Fish]

Good good good!

Plump Duck, right? I'll remember this contribution.

Chen Yuan ended the short and glorious life of the Wave-patterned Salmon, then cleaned its body and fried it in the oil pot.

The crackling sound of frying echoed like heavenly music in the ears of the two little fellows. They guarded the oil pot closely, quietly watching the Wave-patterned Salmon turn from gray to golden yellow.

A wisp of fragrance had already emerged. Kele sniffed its nose, its tongue constantly darting in and out, and the drool at the corner of its mouth was about to spill over.

The plump duck's reaction was no better. Its trembling pupils, wide-open mouth, and shaking body all expressed its excitement and anticipation at this moment.

When the frying was over,

the two little fellows could no longer hold back and directly started eating with their hands.

“Awoo awoo awoo.”

Even though the fish was very hot at the moment, Kele didn't care too much and directly swallowed a piece of fish, the fragrance filling its entire mouth.

The plump duck's movements were a little more refined than Kele's. It was originally savoring the taste of the fish slowly and methodically, but when it saw Kele's lightning-fast speed, it instantly became anxious, no longer caring too much, its chewing speed getting faster and faster, and its eyes widening more and more.

This is... this is the taste of happiness, duck.

The plump duck, which had already swallowed the fish, was still chewing, as if reminiscing about the fragrance, that feeling of happiness.

Compared to swallowing it raw, this method is too delicious!

Chen Yuan glanced sideways at the two little fellows, chuckling to himself: "This is the consequence of never having eaten good food."

Afterwards,

Chen Yuan also picked up a piece of golden-yellow fish to taste, suddenly widening his eyes, muttering in a low voice: "No wonder..."

There is nothing wrong with a first-class product!

The meat and taste of the spirit fish itself are indeed much better than ordinary fish. This is simply the difference between a street stall and a luxury restaurant.

Questioning the plump duck, understanding the plump duck, becoming the plump duck.

After eating two pieces of fish, Chen Yuan left the rest to the two little fellows.

This Wave-patterned Salmon was relatively small, completely incomparable to that golden carp. The two little fellows wolfed it down and quickly wiped it out.

“Awoo.”

Kele slumped on the ground, leaning closely against the plump duck, feeling a warm current flowing through its body, emitting a satisfied groan.

“Ga ga～”

The plump duck touched its slightly bulging belly, letting the scorching midday sun fall on the ground, only squinting its eyes, its two little feet constantly dangling.

So happy, duck.

Kele suddenly thought of something, turned its head to look at the plump duck: "Awoo awoo awoo～"

Does my master's food taste good?

“Ga!”

Hearing this question, the plump duck restrained its expression and nodded very seriously.

Seriousness is the basic respect for food.

Delicious, duck!

“Awoo awoo?”

Kele's eyes rolled around, staring at the plump duck and asking again.

Then once we leave here, you won't be able to eat it anymore.

“Ga!”

The plump duck instantly sat up straight, a trace of panic flashing in its eyes, shaking its head rapidly like a rattle drum.

Seeing the plump duck's reaction, Kele was very satisfied. It reached out its paw and patted the plump duck's shoulder, enticing it: "Awoo?"

Then do you want to continue eating?

“Ga ga ga ga ga ga ga!”

The plump duck nodded at the fastest speed.

“Awoo.”

Then come with us.

“Ga?”

The plump duck was stunned in place, seemingly not expecting Kele to say that.

Afterwards,

the plump duck fell into deep thought.

It slowly raised its head, scanning around Bright Gorge Lake—the calm lake surface was still and peaceful, with occasional birds skimming across the surface, casting fleeting shadows. Bright Gorge Lake, surrounded by green mountains, was as tranquil as ever.

Kele stared at the plump duck expectantly, Chen Yuan also quietly pricked up his ears, only Sparkle looked uninterested, staring blankly at the white clouds in the sky.

Seeing that the plump duck hadn't answered for a long time, Chen Yuan couldn't help but say: "Actually, it's an all-inclusive deal—"

Before he could finish speaking, Sparkle cast a resentful look.
