Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 181 - 135: Mingyu Lake Autumn Outing Chronicle (Part 2)

Chapter 181: Chapter 135: Mingyu Lake Autumn Outing Chronicle (Part 2)

“Yin yin!”

The Twin Flower Concubine became instantly excited, her light pink eyes sparkled, her long dress swayed in the wind, her purple hair fluttered wildly, and her small face was full of excitement.

Cola ran forward, and the Twin Flower Concubine flew over its head, crossing the lawn, bypassing the trees, and rushing into the small grove where layers of forest were dyed with color.

Autumn may not be as bright as summer, but it has its own joys.

“How about going on an autumn picnic?” Chen Yuan glanced at the time; seeing that it was still early, he extended an invitation.

Young people in Xuanhe Village are few, and those who grew up playing here and stayed are even fewer.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan has kept in touch with them.

“Haozi, are you busy today?” Chen Yuan sent a message.

Zhang Hao replied instantly: “Not busy today, Yuan, what’s up?”

Chen Yuan: “Want to come to Mingyu Lake for an autumn picnic? Let’s call Shao Yang and the others too.”

Zhang Hao: “Sure, it’s been a while since we relaxed. I’ll call the others.”

An hour later,

Zhang Hao arrived at Mingyu Lake with Shao Yang and several other young people from Xuanhe Village, carrying a bunch of equipment.

Everyone greeted each other, then quickly got to work.

They laid out picnic blankets, set up folding chairs, pitched tents, added a canopy, and brought out a series of camping equipment like cartridge stoves and Bluetooth speakers.

After setting everything up, some chose to fish with Chen Yuan, while others opted to sit on the picnic blanket and chat.

Seeing Cola and the Twin Flower Concubine playing not far away, Zhang Hao and Shao Yang also released their Pet Beasts.

The Gray-armored Wild Boar charged at Zhang Hao as usual; the latter skillfully dodged to the side and then said, “Go play with them.”

“You too, Fire Dog,” said Shao Yang.

The Fire Dog was much bigger than before, its physique more robust, even a bit chubby. It raised its eyes towards Cola in the distance, suddenly widened its eyes, and quickly ran over: “Awoo!”

Running in front of Cola, the Fire Dog dropped its head and tucked its tail, looking very respectful.

“Awo.”

Cola scrutinized the Fire Dog, recalling seeing this fellow while leading the Puppy Team through the streets back then. At that time, its eyes were full of envy.

“Awoo awo?”

Want to join the Puppy Team?

“Awo!”

The surprise came too suddenly; the Fire Dog lifted its head, stared incredulously at Cola, and after confirming the latter wasn’t joking, it got excited, wagging its fluffy tail nonstop.

“Snort snort.”

The Gray-armored Wild Boar wasn’t interested in the so-called Puppy Team; it only glanced around and then looked away, sticking close to Zhang Hao.

Wherever Zhang Hao went, it went.

Among these young people who stayed in the village, two recently became Beastmasters; they both sent out their Pet Beasts.

A Water Type Water-Walking Cat and a Wind Type Flowing Cloud Sparrow.

“Meow…”

The Water-Walking Cat, seeing so many people and Pet Beasts, had a timid look in its eyes, softly meowed, and quickly hid behind its owner, tightly holding onto her leg, cautiously peeking its little head out.

The Water-Walking Cat’s owner squatted down, pulled it out, and gently pushed it forward, smiling: “Don’t be shy, go play with them.”

“Meow…”

The Water-Walking Cat shrank its neck, still fearful.

Suddenly, a petite figure caught the Water-Walking Cat’s attention, its eyes fixed on the Twin Flower Concubine flying in mid-air.

“Yin yin~”

As if sensing being watched, the Twin Flower Concubine looked down at the Water-Walking Cat, beamed, and waved her petal-shaped hand.

“Meow!”

The Water-Walking Cat suddenly sprang forward, rushing towards the Twin Flower Concubine under its owner’s puzzled gaze.

The Flowing Cloud Sparrow wasn’t as timid as the Water-Walking Cat; it flew directly next to Spark, then raised its eyes to study Spark, with undisguised admiration in its gaze.

Such a marvelous creature.

Besides the Gray-armored Wild Boar clinging to Zhang Hao and Spark staying by Chen Yuan’s side, the rest of the little creatures played together under Cola’s lead, either exploring the small grove for wild Pet Beasts or playing hide and seek.

The cherished Twin Flower Concubine searched, while the other little ones hid.

The Fire Dog hid behind a large tree, yet the tree wasn’t thick enough to conceal its chubby body, getting discovered first by the Twin Flower Concubine.

“Awoo~”

Cola glanced around, seeing no suitable hiding place, so it piled up leaves and hid its head and body within, leaving only its fluffy tail exposed.

The tail swayed like a broom, so the Twin Flower Concubine promptly grabbed it: “Yin yin!”

“Awo?”

Cola was puzzled, not understanding how it was caught by the Twin Flower Concubine, despite hiding flawlessly.

But seeing the Twin Flower Concubine’s happy smile, it followed suit with a silly grin.

The Flowing Cloud Sparrow chose to hide among the branches, using the dense leaves to conceal itself while the Twin Flower Concubine searched long and hard to no avail.

“Tweet tweet!”

Seeing the Twin Flower Concubine still searching beneath the tree like a headless fly, the Flowing Cloud Sparrow couldn’t help but let out a proud chirp.

However, this call revealed its position, getting caught by the Twin Flower Concubine right away.

“Tweet…”

The Flowing Cloud Sparrow flew next to the Twin Flower Concubine, regretful.

Now, only the Water-Walking Cat was left.

The Twin Flower Concubine searched for a long time yet couldn’t find any trace of the Water-Walking Cat; even the other three little ones helped search, with no success.

Where did the Water-Walking Cat hide?

“Do you think they can find the Water-Walking Cat?” Seeing time running out and the little ones unable to find the Water-Walking Cat, Zhang Hao spoke up with a laugh.

Chen Yuan shook his head: “No way.”

Then, he lifted his gaze to the center of Mingyu Lake, where there was a faint blue figure on the water surface, its blue fur blending with the lake’s color, making it hard to notice unless looked at closely.

That’s the Water-Walking Cat, a magical creature capable of walking on water and using water color to conceal itself.

Sure enough, until the time was up, the little ones couldn’t find the Water-Walking Cat, not even looking towards the center of the lake.

“Meow~”

The Water-Walking Cat stepped on the water surface, agilely returning to the group of little ones.

Seeing the Twin Flower Concubine hadn’t found it, it felt a little embarrassed yet couldn’t help but raise its head, revealing its pride.

“Awoo awo!” Cola impatiently exclaimed.

Now it’s my turn!

I’m gonna search!

While the little ones were playing merrily on land, the Run Run Duck underwater found its prey.

A very long Spirit Fish was swimming leisurely not far away, its body slender, with long and wide pectoral fins, covered with turquoise scales.

This fish must be delicious.

The Run Run Duck stared without blinking, slowing its swimming pace, cautiously approaching it.

Upon getting within two to three meters, the big green fish suddenly turned to look.

Oh no, I’ve been spotted!

The Run Run Duck thought something was amiss, its dual webbed feet stirring the water like the finest engine revving up at maximum power, charging straight ahead!

The big green fish reacted quickly, first twisting its body to dodge Run Run Duck’s attack, then swinging its powerful tail to precisely hit Run Run Duck’s head.

“Quack quack…”

A powerful force struck, leaving Run Run Duck dizzy; it shook its head anxiously, then furiously.

How dare my food resist!

Duck’s getting angry!

Seeing the big green fish remaining in place, casting a mocking glance, the enraged Run Run Duck opened its mouth and shot a Water Arrow, slicing through the water fiercely!

The big green fish flicked its tail, dodging the Water Arrow while quickly swimming away.

The Run Run Duck saw this and quickly pursued.

A fierce chase unfolded underwater between duck and fish; realizing it couldn’t shake off Run Run Duck, the big green fish suddenly swam towards the surface, leading Run Run Duck to follow.

In the next moment,

The big green fish gathered its strength, propelling its body like an arrow loosed from a bow, slicing through the waves, its wide pectoral fins unfurled like graceful wings, leaping out from the water’s surface, its streamlined body cutting through the water, glowing turquoise, flying briefly above the lake before landing back into the water.

“Awo awo awo!”

Cola, staying on the shore, widened its eyes, face full of disbelief.

Fish can fly!

Who else can’t fly!!!
