Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 88: The Fastest Pet Beast on Land



Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Fastest Pet Beast on Land

September 18th, Wednesday.

Weather is overcast.

In the blink of an eye, it has been two days since Yang Yue and Li Qing left Xuanhe Village.

“Another gloomy day.” Staring at the overcast sky, Chen Yuan sighed.

It was also overcast the day before yesterday when I went into the mountains. Fortunately, with the previous experience, the familiar route allowed Chen Yuan to patrol the mountain and protect the forest smoothly, without any unexpected events, and he returned to the farm yesterday afternoon.

Logically speaking, summer should have more sunny days, but in recent days it has been overcast, with no sunshine.

The other little fellows have been fine with this weather, but only Run Run Duck has been noticeably more downcast, hanging its head in a lifeless manner these past few days.

Not being able to sunbathe every day is a torment for Run Run Duck.

Chen Yuan could only increase the intensity of training to make Run Run Duck forget about it. Under the blessing of Bright Moon Dew, its strength has improved vastly compared to a week ago:

[Race: Run Run Duck (Collected)

Attribute: Water

Level: 5 (Tier One)

Favorability: 77

Skills: Water Surge (Proficiency 1.8/5) + Water Arrow (Proficiency 0.2/5) + Water Binding (Beginner 1.6/3) +

Quality: Elite

Promotion to Commander Quality Conditions: Insufficient Source Point (6.7/10)]

The newly mastered skill [Water Binding] by Run Run Duck is similar to Spark’s [Flame Prison], capable of forming a constantly swirling vortex of water to bind the opponent within, also dealing slight damage.

“The week is over; the Spirit Mushroom should be mature.”

“Time to take Duck Duck to have a try.”

Chen Yuan walked out of the room into the courtyard.

“Dian Dian…”

The Electric Flying Cat was panting, flapping its yellow wings as it flew in the midair of the farm, with a rope tied around its waist, and a large stone tied to the rope.

Flying with the stone in midair, the Electric Flying Cat was clearly struggling, its wings flapping very slowly, its forehead beaded with sweat, its plump face looking a bit fierce.

But thinking of its increasingly plump body, the Electric Flying Cat gritted its teeth, forcing itself to continue flying around the courtyard.

“Dian Dian!”

At this moment, the Electric Flying Cat’s gaze was more determined than ever.

Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Since the Electric Flying Cat realized this problem, although there have been times of evasion and slacking during the process of losing weight, it has eventually persisted.

This is much better than those lazy bones who purchase gym courses and subscribe to fitness software memberships but are unwilling to exercise.

After stepping out of the courtyard, Chen Yuan went straight to the fish pond.

Compared to the initially bare appearance, now several stones of different sizes are placed around the fish pond, and Chen Yuan also plans to plant a few Spirit Plants here.

The water is planted with a lot of aquatic plants, decorating the fish pond while also purifying the water quality.

Chen Yuan looked around but didn’t see the silhouette of Run Run Duck, so he called out, “Duck Duck, let’s go.”

Plop~

Run Run Duck leapt out of the water, a small ordinary crucian carp clamped in its beak, which it swallowed in one gulp, then leisurely walked towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but glare at it, “The small fish in the fish pond are almost eaten by you.”

“Quack quack~”

Run Run Duck put its wings on its hips, sticking its head up.

Duck eating fish, a natural law.

“By the way, what about the three Wave Pattern Salmon? You didn’t secretly eat them, did you?” Chen Yuan suddenly asked.

“Quack!”

Run Run Duck’s eyes widened instantly with an indignant look.

You can doubt Duck Duck’s strength, but you cannot insult my duck integrity!

People have human dignity, and Duck Duck has duck integrity!

“I was just asking, it’s best if they’re fine.” Chen Yuan smiled awkwardly, then changed the topic, “Let’s go, we should head to Mingyu Lake.”

“Quack quack~”

Run Run Duck first nodded, just prepared to set off, then suddenly remembered something, and abruptly halted its legs that had stepped out.

“Scared?” Chen Yuan glanced at Run Run Duck.

“Quack!”

Run Run Duck’s eyes widened again.

How could you randomly accuse Duck Duck!

“Then why aren’t you moving?” Chen Yuan asked.

“Quack…”

Run Run Duck’s momentum immediately dampened greatly, its light blue eyes reflecting the mysterious deep cave and those mysterious orange eyes.

“If you’re not ready yet, we can wait a few more days, there’s no rush.” Seeing this, Chen Yuan spoke gently.

The third-level resource Spirit Mushroom is important, but Run Run Duck is part of the farm, and its wishes must be fully respected.

“Quack!”

Hearing these words, Run Run Duck shook its head vigorously, trying hard to dispel those images, until it almost shook itself dizzy, before walking towards Chen Yuan in a wobbling pace.

This trip to Mingyu Lake has the same lineup as the last time—Chen Yuan, Spark, Cola, Run Run Duck.

Cola drove the electric tricycle like the wind, swiftly arriving at Mingyu Lake.

Chen Yuan even felt that his driving skills now might not match up to Cola’s.

He used to be worried and nervous when Cola was driving, needing to watch the surroundings and Cola’s actions, but now he relaxes and closes his eyes to rest as soon as he gets on the vehicle.

“Maybe I should really teach Cola to drive a car?”

Chen Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully, “Then take Cola to get a C1 license, guessing it’d scare the examiner out of their wits.”

While lost in his wild thoughts, Chen Yuan had already arrived at Mingyu Lake.

As usual, the shore of Mingyu Lake was crowded with anglers who, regardless of wind or rain, appear here every day on time.

Chen Yuan hung the action camera on Run Run Duck’s neck, then solemnly stated to the latter, “Duck Duck, we’re counting on you this time.”

“Quack quack!” Run Run Duck nodded repeatedly, grinning widely.

Leave it to Duck Duck.

“Do you remember the sign of the Spirit Mushroom’s maturity?” Chen Yuan asked.

“Quack.” Run Run Duck tilted its head, eyes showing contemplation, then nodded.

Chen Yuan reminded, “Once mature, the Spirit Mushroom emits a pale yellow glow.”

After a slight pause, he emphasized earnestly, “After going underwater, we won’t be able to help you, so you must stay safe.”

“If you encounter danger, prioritize your safety—the Spirit Mushroom is not more important than you.”

“Quack quack quack~”

Hearing this, Run Run Duck immediately ran over to hug Chen Yuan’s leg, weeping bitterly.

Looking at the emotional and tearful Run Run Duck, moved to tears, Chen Yuan smiled and was about to say something, when the latter suddenly raised its head, “Quack quack quack!”

But can Duck Duck have a delicious fruit and maybe a fried Spirit Fish before diving?

Chen Yuan fell silent for a moment.

He should have known that Run Run Duck isn’t easily moved by feelings.

“Just get into the water.”

With Chen Yuan’s words, Run Run Duck swaggered to the lake’s edge, took a deep breath, waved its wings at Cola, and jumped into the water.

Watching the splash of water and the disappearing Run Run Duck, Cola slowly approached the lakeside, peering down at the gradually calming water surface, with a noticeably downcast demeanor, “Awoo…”

“What’s up?” Chen Yuan petted its head.

“Awoo awoo~”

Cola turned back with a pitiful look in its eyes.

I can’t fly or dive, what am I good for awoo.

Chen Yuan chuckled, “We all have our strengths.”

“Spark can fly, Duck Duck can swim, but they can’t run as fast as you on land.”

“You just need to become the fastest Pet Beast on land.”

“That’s my expectation for you.”

“Awoo!”
