Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Iron Head gazed at the crowd of frogs, recalling Duck’s earlier warning, and without hesitation issued a warning cry.

As soon as the sound rang out, Wu Peng and Zeng Hui stepped forward, speaking loudly: "We’re here to help."

But Iron Head merely cast them a cold glance, the glint of the blade reflecting in their eyes, scaring them to a halt.

They vividly remembered the terrifying performance of this Steel-headed Ground Rat while resisting the Snow Cloud Wolf.

"Croak croak croak."

The Far Traveling Frog suddenly hopped forward, finally stopping two meters away from Iron Head.

"Ka?" Iron Head’s eyes remained calm, making an inquiry.

"Croak croak~"

The Far Traveling Frog’s eyes showed no malice, as it took out a Lotus Leaf from its satchel and placed it before Iron Head.

"Ka?"

Iron Head lowered its head to gaze at the Lotus Leaf, deep in thought.

Things seemed to differ somewhat from what Duck had described.

"Cheep!"

Just at that moment, a sudden clear and melodious cry broke Iron Head’s contemplation, and simultaneously all the frogs raised their heads to look up.

Spark flapped its wings, emerging from the farm, spreading orange-yellow wings that scattered sparks, exuding an unrestrained and terrifying aura, its dark blue eyes surveying the group of frogs.

"Quack!"

One particularly large frog-type Pet Beast crouched on the ground, staring at Spark with pea-sized eyes, its swollen belly hanging like a natural cushion on the ground, its bluish-gray skin covered with a translucent gelatinous layer.

From a distance, this frog-type Pet Beast looked like a big balloon.

The other frogs all lowered their heads under Spark’s terrifying aura, yet this frog remained especially bold, its eyes seemingly burning with fighting spirit, puffing up its cheeks as it croaked.

Spark looked at it, and it returned a fearless gaze.

"Roar!"

Cola charged out, whipping up a whirlwind that swept over the group of frogs, the large frog turning its head, mimicking the exact same reaction.

Following closely were Chen Yuan and the farm’s little creatures, all standing ready, with Duck in the center no longer panicking or nervous as in the cave. It stood in the shadows cast by the big boss and Cola, raising its head high and crossing its wings at its waist, showing an arrogantly smug expression: "Quack quack quack!"

Come on!

Come avenge Duck me!

Chen Yuan pressed down Run Run Duck’s head, which immediately showed a displeased expression, preparing to use its wings to knock off the farm owner’s hands, then suddenly recalling its earlier scolding, silently withdrew its wings.

Fine, Duck me will let the farm owner off this time.

"Don’t speak just yet." Chen Yuan said to Run Run Duck, then raised his eyes to look at the Far Traveling Frog and the group of frogs behind it, finally resting his gaze on Zeng Hui and Wu Peng nearby, showing confusion.

Wu Peng hadn’t expected Advisor Chen to truly be on the farm, but he quickly reacted, hurriedly telling Chen Yuan everything he’d seen before.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Alright, I understand."

He looked at the Far Traveling Frog ahead, speaking leisurely: "What are you all planning?"

Far Traveling Frog, with a group of frog-type Pet Beasts, was it really, as Duck had said, coming for retaliation?

"Croak croak croak."

Far Traveling Frog croaked, and the remaining frogs seemed to receive a command, all emitting loud and resonant croaks.

Suddenly, the sound of frogs filled the air.

The abrupt croaking made Wu Peng and Zeng Hui tense up, realizing it was a signal for wild Pet Beasts to attack.

Yet, they remained calm, even preparing to witness up close the Da Feng Cup champion Pet Beast display its might.

With Spark and Gale Hunting Dog present, this group of frogs held no threat.

However, what happened next stunned them.

The group of frogs extended their long tongues, spewing out various items.

"Quack?"

Run Run Duck was startled by the sudden actions of the frogs. It first retreated half a step, then, remembering the big boss and Cola were beside it, bravely extended its head, scrutinizing carefully.

These turned out to be various Spirit Plants.

Some were delicious underwater grass Run Run Duck had seen before, which emitted a blue glow and could make one stronger with a bite;

There were Lotus Leaves that Run Run Duck had eaten more than once, the taste was average, but they could purify water quality;

Some Spirit Plants Run Run Duck had never seen, but Chen Yuan recognized them instantly. Among them were Green Shadow Fruits that promote the growth of Water-type Pet Beasts, and Fern Heart Grass that enhances the Wood Type’s catalytic ability...

Upon closer inspection, there were altogether ten or more Spirit Plants, including both Level 2 and Level 3 Spirit Plants.

These frogs rolled the spirit plants with their tongues, hopping one after another to Chen Yuan, placing the spirit plants down, and then returning.

Chen Yuan was startled: "What are you..."

The frogs didn’t respond but quietly returned to their previous positions and then, in unison, they watched Far Traveling Frog step forward.

"Ribbit."

Far Traveling Frog hopped up to Chen Yuan, rummaging through a crossbody bag under the angry gaze of Run Run Duck, finally holding out a crystal clear, round blue water droplet with its claws.

The water droplet was about the size of Chen Yuan’s fist, seemingly composed of pure water droplets, reflecting a strange blue light under the sunlight.

"Quack quack!" As soon as Run Run Duck saw this water droplet, it opened its mouth wide, an inexplicable desire welling up uncontrollably from deep within.

"Bihui Dew..." Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed.

This is a Level 4 Water-type resource, Bihui Dew, which can effectively enhance the strength of Water Skills and promote the growth of pet beasts to some extent.

Clearly, Bihui Dew greatly benefits every Water-type Pet Beast, thus causing Run Run Duck’s body to involuntarily express desire.

"Ribbit ribbit."

Far Traveling Frog, holding Bihui Dew, lowered its head and offered it to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan first looked at Bihui Dew, then at the pile of spirit plants on the ground, his expression odd: "Are these all for me?"

Weren’t they here to get back at Duck?

"Ribbit ribbit!" Far Traveling Frog nodded.

Chen Yuan stared at Far Traveling Frog, falling into a brief contemplation.

Offering compliments for no reason either means flattery or deceit; he didn’t believe these frogs would be so kind as to bring such wonderful gifts.

What are they after?

Meanwhile,

Wu Peng and Zeng Hui exchanged glances, their hearts pounding.

What had they witnessed?

A group of wild pet beasts lining up to deliver spirit plants to Advisor Chen?

Is there anything more absurd in this world?

Wu Peng mused internally: "Only with Advisor Chen can such things happen."

To him, the most remarkable thing about Advisor Chen wasn’t his power that far exceeded ordinary Beastmasters, but his extraordinary affinity with wild pet beasts.

Be it the temperamental Earth Bear or the Black-striped Spider that enjoyed capturing people for fun, they all became gentle when facing Advisor Chen, behaving unlike wild pet beasts at all.

This group of frogs was likely the same, either influenced by Advisor Chen or voluntarily submitting to his formidable strength.

This was the only explanation for the spectacle of gifting spirit plants in a queue.

"What do you want?"

Chen Yuan looked at the Far Traveling Frog, directly asking.

"Ribbit ribbit ribbit."

Far Traveling Frog’s answer left Chen Yuan momentarily stunned.

According to Far Traveling Frog, their king wanted to make friends with him.

"Is it really that simple?" Clearly, Chen Yuan was skeptical.

Yet, from Far Traveling Frog’s response, Chen Yuan grasped a piece of information — a group of frog-like pet beasts resided near Xuanhe Village, including a Frog King of unknown strength.

And considering the experiences of Duck, these frogs should inhabit beneath Mingyu Lake.

Far Traveling Frog croaked again, answering Chen Yuan’s question once more.

It turned out the Frog King not only wanted to befriend Chen Yuan but also desired to establish a trade relationship for mutual benefits.

Chen Yuan was amused.

Do these wild pet beasts understand this too?

But seeing Far Traveling Frog with the demeanor of a wandering merchant, he fell silent.

You have to admit, the intelligence of some pet beasts isn’t low at all.

Moreover, the apparent "wealth" displayed by these frogs surprised Chen Yuan; they casually brought along so many spirit plants, clearly possessing many more rare spirit plants.

"Ribbit ribbit."

The heavy croak of a frog echoed again, breaking Chen Yuan’s thought process.

The largest of the frogs stepped forward half a pace, its eyes the size of mung beans looking ahead, its voice booming like thunder.

If you wish to trade with the king, you must pass through me first!
