Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger-Chapter 79: Electric Flying Cat Needs to Lose Weight
"Who wants to come with me?" Chen Yuan scanned the little ones, asking aloud.
"Quack quack."
Run Run Duck was the first to shake its head, then stuck out its tail and slowly waddled towards the fish pond with the gait of a retired cadre.
Fighting and killing are such a hassle for ducks.
"Dian Dian!"
Instead, Electric Flying Cat raised its eyes to stare at Chen Yuan, flames of revenge igniting in its eyes, proactively responding to Chen Yuan’s call.
Chen Yuan was unaware of the grudge between Electric Flying Cat and the group of Violent Cloud Sparrows. When he saw its unusual reaction, he was somewhat surprised, "Are you sure?"
"Dian Dian!"
Electric Flying Cat’s cheeks emitted weak electric currents, nodding heavily at Chen Yuan.
Electric Flying Cat’s revenge, just at this moment!
That day, although it had teamed up with Run Run Duck and Iron Head to drive away the group of Violent Cloud Sparrows, it hadn’t resolved its deep-seated resentment. It needed to teach them a lesson.
Meanwhile, Electric Flying Cat glanced at Spark, thinking with the big sister leading, that group of Violent Cloud Sparrows would surely be beaten, and it could take the chance to zap them unconscious.
"Dian Dian..."
With this thought, Electric Flying Cat couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
"Alright, then Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle will lead the way, and Spark and Electric Flying Cat will come with me." Chen Yuan quickly gave the order.
"Wow-wow-wow?"
Upon not hearing its name as it wished, Cola abruptly raised its head to look at Chen Yuan, mouth wide open, blue eyes full of confusion, and its pupils started trembling.
Why didn’t the master call me?
Did I make the master angry?
Did I disappoint the master?
Does the master have another dog???
Chen Yuan had anticipated Cola’s reaction. He squatted down to pat Cola’s head, smiling slightly, "Because you’re so amazing, you can’t come this time."
"Wow?"
The hundreds of doubts in its heart instantly dissipated. Cola blinked its eyes, lightly wagging its tail while still pondering over Chen Yuan’s words.
Chen Yuan explained, "You need to stay home and guard the farm."
"I believe in your ability to do this well."
"Wow!"
Hearing this, Cola immediately straightened its back, raised its head high, and looked at Chen Yuan with eyes full of emotion.
However, when Chen Yuan’s next words came, Cola was stunned in place, "And besides, Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle, Spark, and Electric Flying Cat can all fly. You can’t, so you might be at a disadvantage against the group of Violent Cloud Sparrows."
Not... not able to fly.
At this moment, Cola’s world turned incredibly gray.
After comforting Cola and promising to take it to town for delicious food tomorrow, Cola immediately perked up.
"Let’s go."
Calling the three winged little ones to leave the farm, Chen Yuan turned to Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle, "Do you know where that group of Violent Cloud Sparrows is?"
"Screech," Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle nodded.
Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle gazed at the forest to the east of Xuanhe Village. If it remembered correctly, this group of Violent Cloud Sparrows liked to appear over this forest, always in a large group, making the entire area restless.
"Then let’s go take a look."
Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle and Spark spread their wings and took off, while Electric Flying Cat realized it had wings too, spreading them gently and flapping as its body wobbled upward.
Its speed was nowhere near that of Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle and Spark, and Chen Yuan felt it was struggling to fly, lacking the agility it displayed when stealing fruits at Uncle Zhao’s farm.
Chen Yuan frowned, "Have you gained weight recently?"
He suddenly noticed that Electric Flying Cat’s body had grown larger since coming to the farm, its face rounder, and its body bulkier.
"Dian Dian?"
Upon hearing this, Electric Flying Cat, still wobbling in flight, almost fell. After stabilizing itself, it anxiously looked down at its body.
The next moment, Electric Flying Cat was utterly shocked.
Who is this fatty?
"As expected..." Electric Flying Cat’s reaction confirmed Chen Yuan’s suspicion. His eyes flashed slightly, "It seems the recent comfort and ease have caused its weight to soar."
Before coming to the farm, Electric Flying Cat wandered about, bullied by other Pet Beasts, barely managing to eat a meal, and had to outwit the Gray-armored Wild Boar guarding the farm. The daily exercise was enormous, so naturally, it couldn’t get fat.
After coming to the farm, with three meals guaranteed, its only exercise was strolling in the yard, spending the rest of its time curled up in the treehouse.
With such a lifestyle, who but Electric Flying Cat would gain weight?
Realizing this, Chen Yuan sternly said, "When we get back, you have to go on a diet."
"Starting with only one apple a day."
"Dian Dian..."
Hearing this, Electric Flying Cat’s face instantly drooped.
One apple...
How could one apple be enough!
But when it saw its chubby limbs and felt the increasing weight of its body, it nodded firmly.
Diet, must diet!
"And increase the training intensity."
The devilish voice continued in its mind, Electric Flying Cat recalling itself drenched in sweat from this morning’s training, felt dizzy.
Yet seeing the smooth flying Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle and the big sister ahead, Electric Flying Cat gritted its teeth and nodded again.
Diet!
Much later, Chen Yuan, lagging behind, was still discussing a weight loss plan with Electric Flying Cat, when Spark suddenly turned back, indicating it had already found the group of Violent Cloud Sparrows.
"So fast?" Chen Yuan showed a delighted expression, saying simultaneously, "Prepare for battle!"
No sooner had the words fallen, the fierce screeching came from the distant sky, with several figures already entangled in combat.
"Screech!"
Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle screeched loudly, eyes fierce, charging through the mass of Violent Cloud Sparrows with its much larger size, its powerful wings stirring up gusts, the continuous whooshing sound loud and clear.
"Chirp chirp!"
However, these Violent Cloud Sparrows were equally aggressive, unafraid of strong opponents, each one surrounding Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle, their beaks glowing with sharp white light, aiming at its wings.
Ultimately, two fists are no match for four hands. Under the encircling onslaught of numerous Violent Cloud Sparrows, Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle gradually fell into a disadvantage, its body marked with several scars.
"Electric Flying Cat, go help." Chen Yuan ran forward, shouting to Electric Flying Cat at the same time.
"Dian Dian!"
Seeing this group of Violent Cloud Sparrows, past memories surfaced in Electric Flying Cat’s mind, its anger surging, fiercely flapping its yellow wings, dragging its heavy body toward the battlefield.
"Cheep?"
Spark turned its head to look at Chen Yuan.
What about me?
"You stay aside for now and hold the front, no rush to intervene," Chen Yuan said.
He wanted to first see the current strength of Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle and Electric Flying Cat.
Although the former always quickly loses when fighting Spark, the same result occurs with other little ones.
Yet Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle knows shame and courage, never discouraged, and its strength should have obviously improved since the beginning.
Electric Flying Cat has had little exercise lately and lacks battle experience, an excellent opportunity for honing.
