Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 229 Duck: Just a little bit of hardship

The sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, casting a not-so-bright light.

But at this moment, Runrun Duck had no interest in basking in the sun. It ran wildly and finally returned to the farm in the shortest possible time.

Seeing the Iron-Headed Baby standing motionless at the edge of the farm, Runrun Duck instantly felt at ease and full of security.

With Ironhead Kid around, no pet can get into the farm!

Just to be on the safe side, Runrun Duck told Tietouwa that the frogs were about to attack the farm, so that the latter could make preparations in advance.

"Crack?"

Iron-Headed Baby turned his head and stared at Runrun Duck with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"quack!"

Really!

Duck is absolutely not lying to you!

"Crack."

The stubborn boy remained unmoved.

It had witnessed the migratory frogs come to the farm several times. The frogs were very polite and well-mannered, greeting it from afar and only approaching the gate after obtaining permission.

Why would the Far-Wandering Frog have any ill intentions towards Runrun Duck?

"Quack quack!"

Seeing that Tie Touwa still didn't believe her, Runrun Duck patted her chest repeatedly, saying that if she was lying, she would not eat spirit fish for a month.

Upon hearing this, Tie Touwa was moved.

All farm members are well aware of the importance of the spirit fish in Runrun Duck's heart.

Runrun ducks have two main hobbies: sunbathing and eating freshwater fish.

Runrun Duck's voice continued: "Quack quack!"

If it weren't for my cleverness and bravery in repelling them with a surge of water, I wouldn't be here today!
"Crack."

Iron-Headed Boy nodded emphatically with a serious expression.

Then, Tie Touwa strode forward, his semi-circular eyes fixed on the river opposite, a sharp blade gleaming in front of him, ready to strike.

Once the frogs get close, it will not hesitate to swing its most prized steel blade.

Seeing that Tie Touwa took this matter seriously, Runrun Duck secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rushed into the farm to tell the other friends about it.

The Wood Spirit Mouse family was terrified upon hearing this. The two smaller Wood Spirit Mice panicked and tried to find a place to hide, but were caught by the stern-faced Scarface Mouse.

"call out."

Scarred Rat shook his head and imparted his experience of working for rats to the two cubs.

Since we depend on the farmers for our livelihood, we should make our stance clear when this happens, and let the farmers feel our loyalty.

Running away is not the way to go; facing the situation head-on is the only way.

The two little wood spirit mice immediately cast admiring glances at them.

Bean Chicken and the chicks reacted calmly; they had already become accustomed to such events, having experienced the riot of the Skylark and the attack of the Snow Wolf.

In any case, if other pets try to disturb their peaceful and leisurely life, Bean Chicken and the chicks can launch a fearless bean attack.

Suddenly,
The Fallen Horned Beast is back.

"quack!"

Runrun Duck was overjoyed.

With the Fallen Horned Beast around, the farm is much safer.

For Runrun Duck, the boss's strength is unmatched in the farm. Even if Cola can compete with her, she loses more often than she wins.

Below them are my brave and fearless self and my twin concubine, that adorable little fellow during the day.

Below them are the Fallen Horned Beast and the Iron-Headed Baby, who together form an impregnable wall protecting the farm from wild beasts.

Following closely behind is Electric Flying Cat, which is lazy and plays all day, but it is very fast and can launch surprise attacks.

As for Bean Chicken's strength, it's unknown. When it's strong, even Coca-Cola has to avoid its edge, but most of the time it's very mild.

Let's not even mention the Wood Spirit Mouse family; I, Duck, can take care of them with a single burst of water.

Therefore, by combining the farm's fortified defenses with the Electric Flying Cat, which excels at ambushes, one can effectively protect the farm.

The little ones are on high alert, ready for the impending battle.

But a very long time passed, and the frogs that Runrun Duck had mentioned never appeared.

This made Dian Dian Fei Mao wonder about Run Run Duck: "Dian Dian?"

Duck, are you playing a trick on us?

"quack!"

Runrun stood with her hands on her hips, furious.

Duck Duck never lies!
"Kick!"

Suddenly, Tie Touwa's voice came from the farm gate, and Runrun Duck was overjoyed to hear it.

Look, here they come!

Upon hearing this, the little ones immediately became excited.

Electric Flying Cat's cheek pouches crackled with electricity as it flapped its wings and flew towards the farm gate. But then, suddenly remembering something, it turned back to the Fallen Horned Beast's side: "Electric!"

Big guy, you go first!
"Roar!"

The Fallen Horned Beast was perfectly capable of this. With a thunderous thud, it strode towards the farm gate, its massive body giving Electric Flying Cat a great sense of security.

"Cuckoo~"

The chicks excitedly flapped their wings and rushed towards the gate, their feathers falling to the ground in a flurry.

"Hey!"

But then DouDou Chicken let out a clear chirp, and all the chicks instantly fell silent, obediently lining up in a long line and walking towards the gate under DouDou Chicken's lead.

"call out."

Seeing Runrun Duck looking at him, Scarface Mouse immediately imparted his last piece of advice to the two little Wood Spirit Mice.

When the fight breaks out, remember to stay behind yourself, don't run around, don't launch any surprise attacks on your own, and don't try to gain the farmer's favor by getting injured!

While the farmer's goodwill is important, your safety is what your parents care about most.

"Shhhhhh!"

The Wood Spirit Mouse family strode confidently toward the gate.

From this point on, in order to deal with the frogs that have already appeared, all the farm members are mobilized, and a chaotic battle to protect the farm is about to unfold under the command of Runrun Duck.

But when Runrun Duck arrived at the gate, she was dumbfounded: "Quack?"

Why is he a farmer?

Why is it the boss lady and Coke?
Where are the frogs?
Chen Yuan was a little dumbfounded when he saw the big scene in front of him. Could it be that the little guys on the farm knew his whereabouts in advance and came out to greet him?

But no matter what, I had been away from the farm for two whole weeks and experienced a series of things outside. When I suddenly came back and saw such a complete set of little guys, I couldn't help but feel excited.

A big smile spread across his face: "I'm back!"

"Ow!"

Cola suddenly rushed out, its head held high, unable to hide the smugness and pride in its eyes, its tail wagging left and right, showing its excitement and exhilaration.

Duck, Electric Flying Cat, and everyone else, I'm home!
"quack!"

Upon seeing her good friend return, Runrun Duck puts the frogs' affairs out of her mind and instead focuses intently on Cola, who keeps circling around her.

Runrun Duck was about to catch up with Cola when she saw Cola stop in front of her, raise her head, and seemingly unintentionally reveal the golden medal hanging around her neck.

The medal has a very beautiful design, and it also has several large characters that Runrun Duck doesn't recognize engraved on it.

"Ow!"

Seeing the confused look in Runrun's duck-like eyes, Kele immediately became anxious and took the initiative to explain.

In addition to the championship trophy, the organizing committee also specially made championship medals for Spark and Cola to commemorate their outstanding performance on the field. The medals are engraved with the little guys' names: Calm Wind Hound - Cola, Flame Cloud Falcon - Spark.

Unfortunately, the Dafeng Cup is a 2V2 tournament, and no third champion medal was prepared, so the Twin Flower Concubines missed out.

But on the way home, Chen Yuan thought that the twin concubines might feel disappointed, so he specially went to the store to buy a small medal to hang around its neck.

Upon hearing Cola's explanation, Runrun Duck immediately showed a look of admiration, and the other little guys all gathered around, casting curious glances. Dian Dian Flying Cat even stretched out its paw, wanting to touch the championship medal engraved with Cola's name.

Cola twisted and dodged, causing the Electric Flying Cat's claws to miss.

"Ow!"

Cola shook his head, indicating that the medal was fragile and should not be touched casually.

"Chirp~"

Spark didn't care. When it saw the little guys looking at the medal around its neck again, it asked Chen Yuan to help it take it off and threw it away.

The children took turns passing the medal around, admiring it one by one, and finally carefully returned it to the eldest sister.

"Ow"

Upon seeing this, Cola froze, staring blankly at its owner.

Did I do something wrong?
“You did nothing wrong.” Chen Yuan squatted down, rubbed the fluffy dog’s head, and said gently, “It’s not wrong to take good care of the medal, and it’s not wrong to share the medal with your friends.”

"Ow?"

Cola looked confused.

So who was wrong?

"Hmm." Chen Yuan rested his chin on his hand and pondered, then smiled. "It's the competition committee's fault. Why didn't they prepare more medals?"

"Alright, it's time to go home."

Surrounded by the little ones, Chen Yuan passed through the gate and finally returned to the farm after two weeks.

When he arrived in Baokun City yesterday, he decided to stay and rest since it was still early. He also had a meal and exchanged ideas with the leaders of the Baokun City Beast Tamer Association.

He took the car back alone early this morning.

Chen Wenhao was studying the Snow Cloud Wolf at the breeding base and hadn't paid much attention to the Great Wind Cup. Yesterday, he suddenly received a call from Professor Song, who told him that there had been great progress in the research on natural advancement. So he hurriedly ran back to the academy.

When Chen Yuan returned to Xuanhe Village, he was naturally greeted with a grand and enthusiastic welcome. Fortunately, Chen Yuan had already experienced similar scenes several times along the way and was immune to these welcoming ceremonies.

Let the old man stay in the village and wander around, then he returned to the farm.

As Chen Yuan entered the farm, he suppressed his fatigue from several days of travel and looked around.

I was away for two weeks, and what kind of mess did the little ones make of the farm?

Upon seeing Chen Yuan's actions, Runrun Duck and Dian Dian Flying Cat immediately tensed up.

But soon, Runrun Duck became calm and composed.

Why should I be nervous when I haven't done anything wrong?

I ate some late-night snacks, stayed up all night watching TV, rummaged through the snacks at home, and also requisitioned the farmer's bedroom.

That's all.

Electric Flying Cat quickly realized what was happening and stopped scaring itself.

Ever since he learned that the farmer had installed surveillance cameras on the farm, he had been acting very cautiously. In addition, the departure of the Ice Crystal Cat had left him heartbroken, and he had no time to cause trouble.

"Hmm, the farm is well-maintained, you've done a good job." After walking around the farm, Chen Yuan nodded in approval to the Wood Spirit Rat family.

"call out!"

Scarface Rat strode out, suppressing his excitement, and bowed to Chen Yuan.

It's just my job.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Chen Yuan still couldn't find anything wrong with it. The clear fruits that had grown there even made him pat Runrun Duck on the shoulder: "Not bad, Duck. It seems you've been working hard these past few days."

"Quack~"

Runrun Duck fiddled with the hair on her head, then suddenly remembered something and stared straight at Chen Yuan: "Quack quack!"

Spirit fish!

Where are my three spirit fish?!
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Duck, I'll go catch one for you tomorrow."

"Gah!"

Upon hearing this, Runrun Duck was overjoyed.

Chen Yuan was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the little guys' performance. Even the lobby remained as clean and tidy as ever. It seemed that they had been very obedient during this time and had not caused him any trouble.

"Alright, you guys go have fun, I'm going to take a nap."

Chen Yuan pushed open the bedroom door and waved to the little ones.

He was so tired that he desperately needed to get some sleep to replenish his energy.

"Ow~"

Cola couldn't wait to bite Runrun's little tail and try to drag the latter outside to play.

Runrun remained motionless, her eyes fixed on Chen Yuan as he entered the bedroom.

"Ow?"

Cola looked puzzled and tugged at Runrun Duck again, but the latter still didn't react.

Just as Cola was about to ask a question, she heard an angry voice coming from the bedroom: "Duck, come in!"

The sound, like muffled thunder, rang in their ears, and all the little ones stared blankly at Runrun Duck, casting sympathetic glances at each other.

It's time to come.

"Quack~"

Runrun Duck tossed her hair again, let out a long breath, and walked into the bedroom as if facing certain death.

Anyway, I've already enjoyed a soft and comfortable bed, so I might as well continue sleeping on a cold rock or on the water in the future.

Just a little bit of wind and frost.

after awhile,

Runrun Duck swaggered out of the bedroom, and Cola quickly stepped forward, casting a concerned glance at her.

Are you alright, duck?
"Gah."

Runrun Duck shook its head, then nodded.

The farmer didn't criticize himself too much; it was just that the three spirit fish had said goodbye to him.

It's just three spirit fish. I can catch them myself at Mingyu Lake!
and many more.

Mingyu Lake?
Runrun Duck suddenly remembered the important matter she had forgotten, so she rushed back into the bedroom and told the farmer everything that had happened.

"You mean, that wandering frog was sent to deal with you?" Chen Yuan looked at Runrun Duck suspiciously.

"Quack quack!" Runrun Duck nodded emphatically.

Absolutely!
Chen Yuan didn't quite believe Runrun Duck's story. The Faraway Frog had made a peaceful deal and had no motive to harm Runrun Duck, much less be acting under the orders of the Strong Frog.

After all, this wandering frog is very special; it possesses incredible abilities and is extremely unique among all frog-type pets.

The strong frog in the cave could be easily defeated by Runrun Duck, so it certainly didn't have the power to command the Faraway Frog.

But when Chen Yuan saw that Runrun Duck's expression didn't seem fake and its gaze was very serious, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

Regardless of what those two frogs were planning, Chen Yuan had already returned with his two powerful allies, Spark and Cola, and wild pets could only avoid the farm from afar.

There is absolutely no way that wild pets would dare to come to the farm and cause trouble.

"Crack."

Just then, Tie Touwa's voice came from the gate.

The sound was loud and urgent, clearly a sign of an emergency.

"quack!"

Runrun Duck immediately raised its head, looked uneasily at the gate, and flapped its wings violently.

coming!

Here they come!

Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he suddenly stood up: "Spark, Cola, go check what's going on."

"Ow!"

The champion pet of the Big Wind Cup, Cola, is on the move!
"Chirp."

Spark was used to the reaction to Coca-Cola; it spread its wings and took flight, flames already gushing from its mouth.

　I've been traveling out of town for the past few days, so my writing hasn't been very consistent, but I'll try my best to maintain daily updates. Please forgive me.
