Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chen Yuan recognized this frog, known as the Abyssal Giant Toad, a Water-type Pet Beast. Although its name sounded elegant and pleasant, its appearance was rather plain, resembling a large blue-gray ball, with its round rotund belly especially eye-catching.

The sudden appearance of the Abyssal Giant Toad made everyone and all the little fellows stare at it in unison.

"Croak croak croak."

Facing the scrutinizing gazes, the Abyssal Giant Toad was unafraid, its massive body advancing forward, its gaze falling on Spark and Cola.

Its small eyes, seemingly just dots on its face, stared firmly at Spark and Cola, displaying an unabashed fighting spirit.

This scene was noticed by Zeng Hui and Wu Peng, who found it amusing.

If you could defeat Advisor Chen’s two Pet Beasts, you could directly become the champion of the Da Feng Cup, even being recognized as the number one Pet Beast in Qin Province.

Fortunately, the Abyssal Giant Toad only lingered on Spark and Cola for a moment before turning its head to look at Run Run Duck.

Its gaze was filled with aggression, its abundant fighting spirit causing Run Run Duck to involuntarily step back half a step.

"Quack?" Run Run Duck looked confused.

Why did this big guy suddenly look at me?

"Croak croak!"

The frog calls, as if amplified by a loudspeaker, were deafening, making Run Run Duck’s head buzz. It glared fiercely at the Abyssal Giant Toad.

What are you trying to do?

Let me tell you, Big Brother and Cola are right beside me!

Thinking of Big Brother and Cola, Run Run Duck felt a strong sense of security. Even when faced with the Abyssal Giant Toad, who was two or three times its size and had a fierce look, it was not afraid and even unconsciously puffed up its chest.

"Croak..."

The Abyssal Giant Toad watched Run Run Duck for a long time, a hint of contemplation in its eyes.

The Great King wants me to test this human’s strength, and the Run Run Duck in front of me had once easily defeated the gatekeeping Little Yellow Frog, so I might as well use it as a stepping stone.

And then...

The Abyssal Giant Toad withdrew its gaze and looked again at Spark and Cola.

Then, to defeat these obviously stronger guys one by one and let them witness the might of the second strongest frog of the Frog Race, ultimately earning the Great King’s praise.

Croak croak croak!

Thinking this, the Abyssal Giant Toad raised its head, its small eyes filled with pride.

I am indeed the smartest frog of the Frog Race... no, the smartest frog aside from the Great King!

Seeing the series of reactions from the Abyssal Giant Toad, Chen Yuan was thoughtful.

This Abyssal Giant Toad’s unexpected challenge, while the Far Traveling Frog watched quietly without stopping it, apparently indicated a premeditated plan.

Is this a deliberate test of me?

Is it the intention of that Great Frog King?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind as he saw the Abyssal Giant Toad staring intently at Run Run Duck, who softly retreated on its webbed feet.

"Duck?" Chen Yuan called out to Duck.

He was quite interested in this group of frogs and the mysterious Great Frog King. They possessed a heap of Spirit Plants, and perhaps he could exchange with them for Spirit Plants, significantly improving his own cultivation and nurturing of Spirit Plants.

After all, Spirit Plants were hard to find, with the vast majority occupied or consumed by wild Pet Beasts. Although Chen Yuan went into the mountains weekly, his collection of Spirit Plants was not ideal so far.

The farm currently had only three types of Spirit Plants: Blazing Fruit, Luminous Fruit, and Void Fruit.

The first was limited to Fire-type Pet Beasts, while the second and third were suitable for all types of Pet Beasts. But as the little fellows grew stronger and used the Spirit Plants more often, their effects weakened.

He needed to quickly find new high-value Spirit Plants to plant and exchange for other useful resources.

Only a rich variety of Spirit Plants could maintain a healthy cycle, both steadily increasing the little fellows’ strength and consistently exchanging for the advanced resources they needed.

Though he didn’t know why the Great Frog King was interested in him, Chen Yuan decided to seize this rare opportunity.

Let Run Run Duck have a bout with the Abyssal Giant Toad. After all, this little fellow indeed needed combat practice, and Spark and Cola were there to back it up.

"Quack quack quack quack!"

Perhaps seeing through Chen Yuan’s thoughts, Run Run Duck shook its head frantically, its cries intense.

Duck does not want to fight!

Chen Yuan understood Run Run Duck’s nature and could only gently persuade, "Duck, just one match, whether you win or lose, I’ll reward you with a Spirit Fish."

Spirit Fish!

Run Run Duck’s eyes brightened, its body instinctively starting to move forward, but it suddenly noticed the enormous size of the Abyssal Giant Toad and its hostile gaze, causing its mind to clear rapidly and wave its wings quickly.

Duck definitely does not want to fight!

Chen Yuan still wanted to persuade further, "It’s okay, Duck, anyway you..."

But before he could finish, he saw Run Run Duck already retreating beside Iron Head, poking out half its head and pointing alternately at Spark and Cola, "Quack quack quack!"

If Big Brother and Cola weren’t here, Duck might reluctantly take responsibility.

But now that Big Brother and Cola are here, there’s no need for Duck to fight, no need to contribute its strength.

Duck just wants to be a loafer protected by Big Brother and Cola, basking in the sun every day peacefully and comfortably~

Run Run Duck’s wish was very simple, hoping its friends grew stronger so the farm wouldn’t need its protection and there’d be no need for it to step into action.

Being a loafer is great, Duck thinks~

Who wouldn’t want to be a loafer, Duck wonders?

Seeing the determined look of Run Run Duck, Chen Yuan sighed helplessly, "Alright."

Respecting the will of one’s Pet Beast is a mandatory course for every excellent Beastmaster.

But if Run Run Duck wouldn’t step up, which little fellow should take on the responsibility?

Seeing Run Run Duck retreat, the Abyssal Giant Toad’s eyes flashed with ridicule. It raised its rounded chin, its frog calls growing louder and more arrogant.
