Forest Guardian: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Beast Tamer

September 9th, Monday.

Weather: Sunny.

Leisurely days always slip away unnoticed. Before you know it, three days have passed since successfully building the treehouse.

In these three days, Chen Yuan hadn't been idle. He spent his days either training skills and exercising with Spark and Cola, or searching for new pet beasts and spiritual plants inside and outside Xuanhe Village.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Chen Yuan's Source Points had returned to double digits, and both Spark and Cola's strength had improved.

Currently, Spark's level had reached level seven. The proficiency of both 【Flame Energy Assault】and 【Flame Prison】had been raised to the Skilled level, and its overall combat power had greatly improved.

Since Cola couldn't stay in the Beast Taming Space, its level was still five, but the proficiency of 【Wind Riding】had reached the Skilled level, while 【Wind Surge】was still a bit short.

"Keep up, keep going!"

Early in the morning, accompanied by a loud cheer, Chen Yuan led the two little guys on a run around the countryside.

"Awoo, awoo."

Cola always seemed full of energy, sometimes excitedly running to the front to chase butterflies, sometimes jumping around Chen Yuan, and sometimes returning to the side of the Electric Flying Cat to walk slowly.

The lazy sunlight casually painted them. Chen Yuan maintained his rhythm, breathing evenly, his pace not too fast but exceptionally steady.

"Electric..."

The Electric Flying Cat ran at the very back. Accompanied by rapid and disordered breathing, its speed gradually slowed down until it stopped.

Afterward, it looked at Chen Yuan and Cola's backs, and as if resigned to its fate, it fell to the ground on its back.

The Electric Flying Cat stared straight at the sun hanging in the east, watching the leisurely drifting white clouds. A streak of orange-yellow suddenly cut through the layers of air, soaring under the sky.

"Electric."

The Electric Flying Cat lying on the ground cast an extremely envious gaze.

Why doesn't Big Sister have to run!

I can fly too!

Chen Yuan looked back at the Electric Flying Cat lying down and smiled, "If you were as powerful as her, you could do whatever you want."

The Electric Flying Cat curled its lip and turned its head away, no longer speaking.

"Clang."

Just then, Iron Head, abandoning his usual calmness, strode towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "It's done?"

"Clang!" Iron Head nodded heavily.

"Great! Let's go, get ready to advance." Chen Yuan was delighted by this news.

As early as two days ago, the resources needed for Iron Head's advancement had been delivered, leaving only the 【Steel Blade】skill that hadn't reached the Skilled level.

Just then, in order to build the wooden house, Chen Yuan discovered that Iron Head could also improve his proficiency by using the skill to chop trees. He simply had it chop down all the trees inside and outside the farm that were obstructing the road, which also counted as practicing the skill and saved Source Points.

He didn't expect that early this morning, Iron Head's 【Steel Blade】would break through to the Skilled level.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan glared fiercely at Cola.

Look at him!

He works hard, is down-to-earth and capable, eats little and works a lot, never complains, and even saves me Source Points.

Where can you find such a good employee?

"Awoo..."

Cola cast a pitiful look.

Arriving in the main hall,

You must keep going, Duck.

"Clang."

Iron Head held two Gold Iron Stones in his hands, his face solemn, nodding heavily.

"Let's begin," Chen Yuan said.

Iron Head expressionlessly threw the two Gold Iron Stones into his mouth, chewing hard. Sharp teeth and hard Gold Iron Stones constantly collided, making a "creak, creak, creak" sound.

Seeing Iron Head chewing the stones as if eating an apple, the little guys all cast admiring glances, and the Electric Flying Cat was even more dumbfounded.

Seeing Iron Head chew the Gold Iron Stones to pieces and swallow them into his stomach, Chen Yuan gasped, inexplicably feeling a burst of abdominal pain.

He had previously asked several people about the usage of Gold Iron Stones, and the answers he received were all the same—eat them.

This method of taking them was simple and crude, and it was estimated that only Steel-type pet beasts could do it.

But it seemed quite reasonable for Steel-type pet beasts to eat stones. On the contrary, eating vegetables and living underground seemed unreasonable.

After swallowing the Gold Iron Stones, Iron Head clearly felt some incredible reaction was happening in his abdomen, so he sat on the ground and closed his eyes.

This advancement ceremony lasted for nearly an hour, and Cola and Run Run Duck next to him had already fallen asleep back-to-back.

After the advancement was over, Iron Head's size didn't change at all. However, the blades extending from his front and top of his head were slender, with a colder light, and in addition, his original dark gray body was glowing with a silvery shimmer.

Chen Yuan summoned Iron Head's data panel:

【Race: Steel Head Groundhog (Collected)

Attribute: Steel

Level: 4 (Tier 1)

Affection: 73

Skills: Steel Blade (Skilled 1.1/5) + Iron Arm (Crude 1.9/3) +

Quality: Elite

Advancement to Leader Condition: Unlockable】

A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face: "The goal of all members being Elite quality has been achieved!"

"The next goal, all members Leader!"

It was strange to say, Chen Yuan's original idea of staying in the countryside was to live a leisurely life, but after the spiritual energy recovered, there were more things to do, and he was busy all day long.

"Oh well, it can be considered enjoying it," Chen Yuan smiled helplessly.

Just then,

Cola's nose twitched. It seemed to smell something and turned to run towards the chicken coop.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo."

A moment later,

Cola's cries continued to sound, and Chen Yuan hurriedly ran over with the little guys.

As soon as he arrived at the chicken coop, Chen Yuan revealed a happy smile: "Today is really a double blessing."

Doudou Chicken was still lying in the nest, its wary eyes staring at the little guys who had rushed over. Behind its light yellow, round body were several petite figures.

"Cluck?"

"Cluck?"

Little heads emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after rain, and pairs of black eyes curiously sized up the uninvited guests.

The bad news was that the eggs were gone.

The good news was that there would be more eggs in the future.

"There's also one thing, if Sang Biao comes to the farm as a guest in the future, don't let these chicks appear in his sight," Chen Yuan thought silently.

Foxes and chickens have always been mortal enemies, and even if they both evolve, the situation probably won't be any better.

"Huh?"

Chen Yuan, who was lost in thought, suddenly discovered something—Doudou Chicken had hatched a total of seven chicks, four of which were Doudou Chicken cubs, and three were ordinary chicks.

"Obviously, not every egg hatches into a Doudou Chicken cub."

But on second thought, several of these eggs were produced before the spiritual energy recovered, so it was normal that they didn't hatch into Doudou Chicken cubs.

Of course, for Chen Yuan, it was still a bit of a pity that they weren't all Doudou Chicken cubs.

But for Doudou Chicken, for any mother, as long as they are her own children, there is only joy and happiness in her heart.

And she will also do her best to protect her children, so as not to be harassed by some strange pet beasts.

For example, looking at Cola drooling at the Doudou Chicken cubs, Doudou Chicken directly spread its wings, glaring fiercely at the latter, its eyes sharper than ever before.

Chen Yuan pulled Cola back and warned seriously: "Don't get any ideas about your colleagues."
