Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 64: Uninvited Guests at the Farm

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Uninvited Guests at the Farm

Chen Yuan imagined the scene of protecting the forest alone. Perhaps it was trudging through the treacherous dense forest; or maybe it was a battle of wits and courage with a group of highly alert wild Pet Beasts.

But he had never imagined such a scene.

A group of Star Moon Deer, along with various little creatures mixed with Pet Beasts, gathered on the highland meadow, right next to the deep Crescent Lake, with the sound of the whistling wind continuously in his ears, and the snacks on the ground dwindling.

Another cold wind blew over, on this mountain over two thousand meters high, Chen Yuan tightened his clothes and then crossed his hands to make a pillow, lying comfortably on the meadow.

The sunlight wasn’t dazzling, but the rays still shone on the green meadow in the midst of summer, bathing every little creature.

Some Star Moon Deer lowered their heads to eat grass, some nibbled on fruits, but most gathered around the increasingly dwindling Chip packets.

As everyone knows, the Chip packets look pretty big, but there’s only a few chips inside, along with a lot of air.

Open the packets, the air escapes, leaving only a few chips.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan brought two packets this time, allowing each Star Moon Deer to taste this extremely unique flavor.

Only the daring young deer ate the most chips.

But in the blink of an eye, the two chip packets were gone, and the Star Moon Deer had to squeeze to the side, turning their attention to the small bread and nuts.

And the little ones with the Flame-tailed Fox joined in the feast too, seeing the situation go awry, the Ice Dew Rat quickly stuffed a pile of nuts into its mouth, puffed up its cheeks and hopped with difficulty, finally landing on a big tree, enjoying its meal blissfully alone.

Cola found the imposing Deer King, with eyes like fire, seemingly wanting to compete in strength, but hesitated upon seeing the cold gleaming huge antlers.

If those antlers stabbed into my belly, would my owner be able to save me?

Cola looked back at Chen Yuan, who smiled slightly: “Give it a try, and you’ll be history.”

Cola tucked its tail between its legs and returned to Chen Yuan’s side, but upon seeing butterflies flying by the lake, it grinned and started chasing after them joyfully.

Spark wasn’t idle either, it stretched its wings alone, soaring in the sky, the orange-yellow figure gradually becoming a tiny black dot.

Spark seemed to always be like this, never too proactive in communicating with other Pet Beasts, preferring the sky, and enjoying flying solo across the horizons.

The small farm in Xuanhe Village couldn’t contain it.

A gentle breeze brushed against the cheek, and Chen Yuan’s heart grew increasingly tranquil, gazing long at the calm lake surface, involuntarily thinking of the little ones back home.

I wonder what they’re doing now?

…

Splish-plash～

Run Run Duck emerged from underwater, causing ripples on the previously calm surface.

It held a carp in its mouth, swaggered towards the kitchen.

All because Chen Yuan said that now they couldn’t eat the small Wave Pattern Salmon in the pond; it had to settle for this ordinary small fish.

Upon entering the kitchen, Run Run Duck tossed the small carp in front of Chen Weiyi.

Chen Weiyi chuckled and asked: “Fried, as usual?”

“Quack.”

Run Run Duck nodded.

“Alright.” Chen Weiyi took the small carp and tossed it into the sizzling oil pan to fry.

Run Run Duck obediently sat on a small stool nearby, its webbed feet moving up and down, watching attentively as the small fish gradually turned golden brown.

Soon,

The delicious fried small fish was placed in front of Run Run Duck.

“Enjoy slowly, I’ll go for a stroll.” Having prepared dinner for Run Run Duck, Chen Weiyi left, hands behind his back, leisurely heading towards the village.

Every evening, the elderly in the village would spontaneously gather to chat about whose elder got sick, whose son or daughter was getting married, and so forth.

“Quack～”

Run Run Duck kept its head down, focused on eating the small fish, its tail gently wagging.

Its mood grew increasingly joyful, couldn’t help but hum its exclusive Duck Song: “Quack quack, quack quack quack～”

Soon it finished the small fish, Run Run Duck carefully placed the plate in the sink, squeezed a bit of detergent on top, and opened its mouth, spraying a fine stream of water, washing both sides of the plate clean and spotless.

Next, Run Run Duck picked up the plate, examining it closely, ensuring both sides were spotless before nodding in satisfaction.

Chen Yuan was right; having stains really isn’t good.

After washing the dishes, Run Run Duck waddled out of the kitchen, strolling into the yard.

As dusk gradually approached, the horizon overflowed with crimson clouds, casting a golden glow in the yard.

Run Run Duck glanced around, the treehouse on the Camphor Tree was silent, clearly Electric Flying Cat was still napping.

“Cluck cluck～”

Bean Chicken along with the Little Chicks came out for a stroll too.

The mother hen walked proudly at the front, occasionally using her sharp eyes to scan the surroundings, and after ensuring no danger, hastened her step, prompting the Little Chicks following in a line behind to keep up closely.

Run Run Duck happened to block their path.

“Cluck cluck～”

The mother hen stared expressionlessly at Run Run Duck, one fluffy little head after another poking out from behind.

Mister Duck, please make way.

“Quack.”

Run Run Duck scratched its head in embarrassment and quickly stepped aside.

“Cluck cluck.”

The mother hen nodded in thanks to Run Run Duck, then held her head high, leading the Little Chicks towards the chicken coop.

“Chirp～”

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

Then, a series of unfamiliar sounds echoed high in the farm, Run Run Duck raised its head in curiosity—about ten unfamiliar little birds were flying in circles above, constantly flapping their wings.

These little birds were covered in gray-black feathers, their breasts and abdomens were beige, their heads had messy dark brown crests, and their beaks were short and sharp.

Their wings weren’t as broad as the Big Sister’s; they were flapping frequently, filling the air above the farm with the sound of wings flapping.

“Quack?”

Run Run Duck looked at these uninvited guests with a puzzled expression.

At this moment,

A Violent Cloud Sparrow suddenly flapped its wings vigorously, letting out a shrill cry, speeding towards the Luminous Fruit Tree in the yard.

“Quack!”

Run Run Duck’s eyes widened, unable to think much, instinctively spraying a swift stream of water towards the Violent Cloud Sparrow!

Bam!

The stream pierced through the air, striking the Violent Cloud Sparrow midway, the immense impact knocking it back!

“Chirp!!!”

Upon seeing Run Run Duck attack, all the Violent Cloud Sparrows went into a frenzy, their loud and resounding cries echoed around the farm.

“Dian Dian!”

The Electric Flying Cat, asleep in the treehouse, opened its eyes and frowned in displeasure; it hated anyone disturbing its sleep!

Electric Flying Cat swiftly opened the wooden door, ready to teach the bothersome intruder a lesson.

But as it pushed the door open, it saw a group of furious Violent Cloud Sparrows glaring at it, an aura of danger pervading the air.

Electric Flying Cat was stunned at first, then rapidly shut the wooden door.

Bam!

The sound of the door closing echoed, Run Run Duck’s face changed, then it yelled out loud: “Quack quack quack!”

They’re going to steal the fruits!

Quick, come out and help, Duck!!!
