Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 208 - 147: The Strange Far Traveling Frog (Part 2)
Chapter 208: Chapter 147: The Strange Far Traveling Frog (Part 2)
Though Bean Chicken had a flock of Little Chicks waiting to be fed, it didn’t take more than its share, just picked up its own piece.
This piece belonged to it and the Little Chicks.
Chen Yuan cut the fruit into smaller pieces again and handed them to Twin Flower Concubine.
Finally, everyone looked towards the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast.
“Quack quack～”
Run Run Duck’s cheeks were puffed up, flapping its wings at the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast.
Eat up, big guy～
All of the little creatures looked at the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast in unison.
“The rest is all yours.” Chen Yuan made a sweeping gesture and said.
If the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast hadn’t chosen to follow Chen Yuan, it would have been quite challenging for him to obtain these three Void Fruits.
“Roar.”
The Fallen Meteor Horned Beast nodded heavily, lowered its head, opened its mouth wide, and ate all the remaining fruit.
Just as Chen Yuan was about to speak, he suddenly heard the call of Cola, raising his head in confusion.
“Yelp yelp!”
The little creatures turned towards the sound and saw Cola barking continuously in the direction of the farm gate.
“Clack.”
Iron Head immediately sensed something was wrong, tensed up instinctively, and quickly ran towards the gate.
As the core of the farm security system, it doesn’t allow any foreign creatures to enter the farm without permission.
However, when it arrived at the farm gate, Iron Head found nothing unusual; the place was empty, with no strangers around.
“Croak.”
But suddenly, a crisp frog croak sounded in its ears.
Iron Head looked down, and a Pet Beast resembling a frog, entirely green and only as tall as Iron Head’s lower leg, stood before it.
“Clack?”
“Croak?”
Their big eyes stared at each other in silence for a moment.
Until Chen Yuan brought the other little creatures over, breaking this strange silence.
“What kind of Pet Beast is this?”
Another unfamiliar Pet Beast not included in the [Beast Taming Knowledge] section.
This frog-like Pet Beast was small in size, with a vibrant green akin to vegetation, and on its body hung something resembling a satchel made of lotus leaves.
It seemed non-aggressive, and the satchel by its side was peculiar, almost like a natural part of its body.
Even though the place was crowded, this frog-like Pet Beast remained calm, scanning Chen Yuan and the little creatures one by one, with its gaze finally settling on Run Run Duck.
“Croak?”
Little Green Frog took out a large green lotus leaf from its side satchel, appearing to be the Lotus Leaf Chen Yuan had purchased before.
Wait.
Chen Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief: “How did it take out a lotus leaf larger than its body from such a small satchel?”
Under Chen Yuan’s puzzled gaze, Little Green Frog hopped in front of Run Run Duck and held out the lotus leaf: “Croak?”
“Roar?”
Run Run Duck tilted its head in confusion.
“Croak croak croak!”
Little Green Frog pointed at Run Run Duck’s wing, making the latter jump back half a step in surprise.
Then, Run Run Duck took out a piece of fruit from under its thickly feathered wing.
It had specially hidden this last bit of fruit to eat later in the evening.
Unexpectedly, this little guy in front of it discovered it!
Even Electric Flying Cat didn’t notice!
“Dian Dian!”
When Electric Flying Cat saw Duck secretly concealing fruit, it was furious, but then remembered the fruits it had hidden in the small treehouse and various corners of the farm, suddenly feeling guilty and lowering its head.
“Croak croak.”
Little Green Frog first pointed at the fruit Run Run Duck had hidden, then at the lotus leaf in its hand.
Chen Yuan finally understood.
Little Green Frog wanted to trade the lotus leaf for a small piece of Run Run Duck’s fruit.
Lotus Leaf was a Tier Two resource, and the fruit came from the third-level resource Void Fruit, which made the trade fairly equitable for both.
“Quack quack…..”
Run Run Duck encountered this kind of situation for the first time, scratched its backside, and sought help from Chen Yuan with a pleading look.
Little Green Frog might have thought Run Run Duck refused, so it fumbled around in its satchel once again and took out two Lotus Leaves: “Quack quack quack?”
Three Lotus Leaves for a small piece of fruit flesh — no matter how you look at it, Little Green Frog was making a loss.
But it didn’t seem to care, just stared intently at Run Run Duck, waiting for its response.
Chen Yuan suddenly spoke: “Duck, give it to me.”
Run Run Duck handed a small piece of fruit to Chen Yuan, who then walked over to Little Green Frog, squatted down, and spoke slowly: “This piece of fruit can be yours.”
Seeing Little Green Frog’s eyes light up, he changed his tone: “But I have a condition, you must shake hands with me to show your sincerity.”
Little Green Frog gazed at Chen Yuan for a moment, not quite understanding, but still nodded and reached out its forelimb.

“Far Traveling Frog, what a strange name.”
“This name doesn’t seem to relate to water type.” Looking at the data panel of Far Traveling Frog, Chen Yuan mumbled to himself.
Most pet beast names indirectly reveal their attributes or describe their general appearance, like Gale Hunting Dog, which obviously sounds like a wind-type pet beast.
Or Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, which clearly suggests it has a pair of horns.
But what about Far Traveling Frog?
Thoughts passed fleetingly, Chen Yuan handed the fruit flesh to Far Traveling Frog, while taking the three Lotus Leaves.
“Quack.”
Far Traveling Frog nodded at Chen Yuan, placed the piece of fruit into its satchel, then bounced out of the farm gate and leaped into the small river beside the road.
Chen Yuan stuffed the Lotus Leaves to Run Run Duck: “Just put them in the fish pond for now, don’t eat them yet.”
Luckily, Duck needs Lotus Leaves to advance, so keep them for the advancement.
“But this Far Traveling Frog… what’s going on?” Looking in the direction Far Traveling Frog left, Chen Yuan fell into deep thought.
Far Traveling Frog swam along the river, ignoring the small fish swimming beside it. Its strong hind legs paddled back and forth, quickly leaving the small river and entering Mingyu Lake.
Diving underwater, passing through water plants, entering a deep underwater passage, Far Traveling Frog finally broke through the water’s surface and landed on the ground.
“Quack?”
The Strong Frog guarding the passage looked over at the sound.
“Quack quack quack.”
Far Traveling Frog patted the satchel at its side, indicating it had returned with a full harvest.
Strong Frog nodded, stepped aside to make way, allowing Far Traveling Frog to bounce into the deep passage.
Moving forward, the uneven rock walls stood on both sides, with occasional other paths appearing, but Far Traveling Frog ignored them and continued straight ahead.
Narrow at first, as Far Traveling Frog ventured deeper, the view gradually opened up, with glimmers of luminescence touching its eyes.
“Quack quack quack!”
“Quack quack quack quack!”
Suddenly, the echoes of frog croaks resounded in the cavern as one pet frog after another came into view. Most were green and yellow, with a very few being striking red.
This was an extremely expansive underground water cave, with bioluminescent mushrooms growing on all sides of the rock walls, and countless Lotus Leaves floating on the water’s surface.
These variously colored pet frogs lay on the Lotus Leaves, playing and frolicking, sometimes jumping into the water, other times leaping high.
Bouncing about, Far Traveling Frog made its way forward on the Lotus Leaves, eventually hopping onto the only piece of land in this underground water cave.
There lay an immensely large figure, sprawled on the ground, revealing half of its round, smooth white belly, with snoring like thunder rhythmically resounding in its ears.
“Quack quack quack!”
Far Traveling Frog called out to the enormous figure in front of it, whose round belly rose and fell. As if having heard Far Traveling Frog’s call, it scratched its behind with a huge paw.
Yet it did not wake up.
Far Traveling Frog called a few more times, confirmed it wouldn’t wake, then placed the small piece of fruit it exchanged for not far away, and turned to leave.
While leaving, it picked up a few Lotus Leaves floating on the water’s surface and stuffed them into its satchel, then bounced away from this underground water cave.
It didn’t choose to return the way it came but instead took another path directly into a forest.
Far Traveling Frog kept on tracking the scent of Spirit Plants, hopping all the way, and soon found a pet beast carrying Spirit Plants.
After confirming that the other party posed no threat, Far Traveling Frog appeared with a bounce, patted the satchel at its side, and pointed to the Spirit Plants in the other’s arms.
“Quack quack quack!”
Far Traveling Frog, like a wandering merchant, issued a trade offer to the other party.
