Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 137 The Concept of Qinling Riding Competition

People on the shore also saw this big flying bluefish.

Zhang Hao rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise: "Flying fish?"

Before the revival of spiritual energy, there was indeed a magical fish that could achieve short gliding through its broad, flat pectoral fins and powerful tail muscles, so it was called flying fish.

But flying fish do not appear in fresh water, and this big bluefish looks very different from a flying fish.

Thoughts flashed through their minds. Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao looked at each other and said in unison: "Spirit fish!"

Such a magical fish must be a spirit fish without a doubt.

Chen Yuan threw the fishing rod aside and stared at the lake which had become calm again.

No matter how many ordinary fish you catch, they are not as good as catching a spiritual fish.

And the big black carp just now was at least one meter long.

Everyone quickly stood up and gathered around the lake, even the little ones came over.

I don’t know how long it took,
Ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, and the big black carp jumped out again, its slender body gleaming with light, and its broad pectoral fins gliding high above the lake like wings.

"spark."

Chen Yuan was just about to let the sparks attack when he suddenly saw another familiar figure rushing out of the lake and chasing after the big blue color at a high speed. His voice stopped abruptly.

"It's a duck!" he said in surprise.

The RunRun duck was swimming on the lake at an astonishing speed. Its flapping webbed feet almost became an afterimage, and its body created layers of waves on both sides, quickly closing the distance with the big black carp.

suddenly,

Runrun duck narrowed his eyes, predicted the landing position of the big black fish, opened his mouth and spit out a swift water arrow!
The water arrow whizzed out and hit the big black carp accurately the moment it fell. The fish scales fell off, the green body shook, and it fell heavily on the lake, splashing water.

"Ouch!"

Seeing that RunRun Duck's attack hit the target, Coke suddenly became excited and couldn't help drooling from the corners of his mouth.

鱼!
What a big fish!
However, the big black carp was obviously much more resilient than the spirit fish Chen Yuan had encountered before. It did not faint because of this. Instead, it turned around and dived underwater and disappeared.

"quack!"

RunRun Duck was annoyed that the big bluefish was too agile, but it would not give up. It also dived underwater and started a new round of chase.

The lake returned to calm again.

Everyone did not leave, but stood by the lake, looking at the lake nervously.

suddenly,

Ripples appeared on the lake again, and waves of water surged up from underwater. It was obvious that the underwater battle was very fierce.

Chen Yuan believed in Runrun Duck, and with its strength, it would be no problem for it to capture this spiritual fish.

Although Run Run Duck was not contracted by him and its strength progress lagged behind Spark and Coke, its days on the farm were particularly comfortable, and it did not fall behind in terms of spiritual fish and spiritual plants. Its overall strength was very competitive compared to ordinary wild pets.

However, this wait lasted nearly ten minutes.

Everyone waited until they lost their patience, only Coke was still lying on the shore, silently waiting for the triumphant RunRun Duck.

"quack!"

A vague sound rang in my ears, and the figure of Runrun Duck appeared from under the water. It poked its head out and made a rapid call.

Coke turned his head and found that the big blue carp was floating on the lake. Its broad pectoral fins were tightly attached to the sides of its body, its eyes were opening and closing, and it was dying.

"Ouch!"

Coke quickly stretched out his claws to grab the big blue carp, but the latter's body was slippery and his claws couldn't hold it at all. Coke immediately let out an angry cry.

"Ouch!"

Having no choice but to turn around and run towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan turned around and saw the big black fish floating on the lake. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Haozi, get me the net!"

"Come on!"

Zhang Hao handed over a scoop net, and Chen Yuan caught the dying big black carp with the net, and then exerted force with both arms to pull it out.

In order to prevent accidents, Chen Yuan stayed away from the lake and put the big black carp on the ground.

"Wow, this is more than one meter, right?" Zhang Hao squatted down, his eyes shining.

For the vast majority of anglers, catching a big fish is a lifelong pursuit.

Everyone gathered around and discussed:

"Wow, there are such big fish in Mingyu Lake?"

"It's said to be a spirit fish, it must be unusual."

"Hurry, hurry, I want to post it on WeChat Moments."

The panting Runrun duck climbed onto the shore. It ignored the big bluefish and lay on the ground with its back facing up, staring at the white clouds in the sky: "Quack, quack, quack."

So tired.

Chen Yuan touched Run Run Duck's head and said with a smile: "Duck, thank you for your hard work."

"You are the first to win today, so you can eat as much as you want."

"quack!"

Runrun Duck's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up, swaggered into the group, and walked to the side of the big black carp.

It was this damn big guy. I fought with it underwater for three hundred rounds. Fortunately, I, Duck, was the winner in the end.

"Duck Duck is really amazing."

"No one can pick up their chopsticks until the duck is on the table."

All kinds of praises rang in RunRun Duck's ears, and it suddenly felt elated. It flapped its wings, and the smile in its eyes became more and more intense.

Duck, I am really awesome.

Chen Yuan squatted on the ground, looked at the big blue carp carefully, then stretched out his arms and picked it up.

"Wow, it's so heavy." He suddenly felt the heavy weight, and at the same time, a data panel appeared in front of him:
[The first time you collect a flying bluefish, your source points will increase by 2]

【Name：Flying Bluefish
Level: Level 2 Spirit Fish]

Sure enough, this flying bluefish could deal with Runrun Duck for so long, it must not be a first-level spiritual fish.

But at this moment, Chen Yuan had no time to care about these things. He handed the phone to Zhang Hao: "Come, take a picture for me."

With a click, Zhang Hao took a picture of Chen Yuan holding the flying fish, and said impatiently: "Quick, quick, I want to take a picture too."

"And me and me!"

Chen Yuan put down the Flying Blue Fish, took the phone, and sent the photo to the [Four People in Flame Mountain] and relatives group.

Liu Jinglan: “!!!”

Liu Jinglan: "Coordinates, I want coordinates!"

Chang Yuhuan: "Such a big spiritual fish?"

Zhang Hao posted the photo to his Moments, with the caption: Today’s catch is nothing to be proud of.

After posting to Moments, Zhang Hao saw the number of likes rising rapidly. He happily put away his phone and looked at Chen Yuan: "Brother Yuan, can I help you take this spiritual fish home?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the people who were busy taking photos and posting them on WeChat Moments, and waved his hand: "Why take it home? Just eat here." "The boss is so generous!" Zhang Hao exclaimed in surprise.

After posting on the circle of friends, everyone immediately got busy and worked together to deal with this flying herring that was nearly two meters long.

"Oh no, the scales are too hard, and the knife I brought with me can't scrape them open." Zhang Hao held the knife in his hand, looking at the dead flying herring in trouble.

I brought a small knife with me when camping, but it was too difficult to handle such a big fish.

Moreover, even with a kitchen knife at home, it is difficult to cut the scales of a second-level spirit fish.

Chen Yuan looked at Kele: "Coke, come and help."

"Ouch?"

Coke blinked blankly, but when it met Chen Yuan's eyes, it immediately understood something and quickly stretched out its claws to try to scrape off the scales on the flying herring.

Chen Yuan stopped her and said, "Yaya, rinse its claws."

"quack."

RunRun Duck opened its mouth and spit out a long stream of water, washing Coke's claws over and over again.

Then, Coke stretched out his sharp claws that shone with a cold light, gently cut the scales along the back of the flying herring, and peeled the scales off the fish.

It takes patience to deal with fish scales, especially for a big fish that is nearly two meters long. Coke became more and more agitated, but when he glanced at his owner standing by and the many expectant eyes, he gritted his teeth, calmed down and continued to scrape the scales.

"Ow"

After a long time, Coke collapsed exhausted.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to process the flying herring, removing the internal organs, cleaning it, and marinating it.

As the pot they brought was relatively small and the flying herring was particularly large, after some discussion, everyone decided to take the simplest approach - boiling the fish fillets in hot pot.

The flying herring was cut into countless pieces of fillet. Chen Yuan kept some to take back for the old man and the little ones on the farm, and put the rest of the fillet into the hot pot.

"Dangdangdang~"

“Spicy fish hotpot is here!”

The sky was getting darker, the camping lights were emitting a dim light, and Zhang Hao walked slowly towards them with a boiling hot pot. The people sitting on the chairs were already looking forward to it.

Making a hot pot is very simple, but since there are not many ingredients to bring when camping, everyone only put in the hot pot base and some basic onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, etc. Even so, the aroma of the hot pot still wafts around the lake, and the peppers crackle and flip in the hot pot.

The heat was surging, and everyone quickly picked up the fish fillets on the side and put them into the pot.

Not long after,
Chen Yuan picked up a fish fillet, handed it to Run Run Duck, and said with a smile: "Here, our great hero."

“Quack, quack!”

Run Run Duck couldn't believe that he could actually eat the first bite of fish fillet, but he hesitated for less than half a second before swallowing it in one gulp. The spicy taste and the tender and smooth taste blended in his mouth at the same time. Run Run Duck couldn't help but open his eyes wide and exclaimed sincerely: "Quack!"

Delicious duck!
Chen Yuan also boiled a piece of fish fillet for himself, ate it in one bite, and soon closed his eyes in enjoyment.

It is a little bit spicy, but the smooth texture of the fish fillet itself overwhelms the spiciness. Chewing it slowly and savoring it carefully, it is even more memorable.

Moreover, a warm current gradually flows inside the body, and the stomach feels warm.

"A level two spirit fish will definitely have a greater improvement effect than a level one spirit fish." Chen Yuan thought secretly.

"Ow!"

Coke, who was standing by, had already been drooling over the piece of fish fillet that Chen Yuan picked up again. When the fish fillet was put into the pot, it lowered its head, and when the fish fillet was picked up, it suddenly raised its head again.

To whom will the owner give this piece of fish?
Big sister?
Twin concubines?
Or me?
However, Chen Yuan's choice was beyond Keke's expectations. He put the fish fillet into the bowl and blanched two more fillets. When all three fillets were in the bowl, he smiled and said, "Okay, come and eat."

After saying that, he gave the three pieces of fish fillet to Sparks, Coke and the Twin Flower Concubines respectively.

"Chirp."

"Ow."

"Yan Yin"

Sparks bit the fish fillet, Coke swallowed it in one gulp, but the Twin Flower Concubines were in a dilemma.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to use a knife to cut the fish fillets into small pieces and then feed them to his twin concubines.

The twin concubines chewed gently, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but speed up their chewing.

However, not long after, the twin concubine's little face turned red, and she used her little hands as a fan, fanning herself continuously.

Spicy spicy!
This flying herring is very large. If Chen Yuan and others were alone, they would not be able to finish it.

But the pets have huge appetites, especially the huge ones like the gray-armored wild boar, which are equivalent to several adults and can eat many pieces of fish fillets in one bite.

The pile of fish fillets quickly dwindled, the hot pot became hotter, the aroma wafted around the lake, and night fell unknowingly.

"Brother Yuan, thanks to you, we were able to eat the spirit fish." After eating for a while and filling their stomachs a little, everyone started chatting.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "If you stay in Mingyu Lake every day, the spiritual fish will probably get tired of eating them."

Zhang Hao waved his hand: "Come on, these spiritual fish are probably no worse than ordinary pets. It's extremely difficult to catch them."

Shao Yang nodded in agreement: "I have learned a lot today. I have seen such a magical fish with my own eyes."

“No matter how magical it is, it won’t stop you from eating it.” Zhang Hao smiled.

"Oh, I haven't felt so comfortable and leisurely for a long time." Someone was lying on a folding chair, looking at the stars gradually appearing in the sky, and sighed.

"Indeed, I have been extremely busy during this period."

“It will only get busier later.”

The few young people who stayed in the village all had jobs.

Zhang Hao burped, touched his slightly bulging belly, and asked casually, "What's wrong? Is there anything big happening in our village?"

Someone explained: "There was a recent meeting at the top, and they said they would make full use of the geographical advantages of the Qinling Mountains to promote rural development, and at the same time they would find ways to attract more tourists from other places."
"Then we thought of some ways, such as launching forest tours and building villages with mountain characteristics."

"Take advantage of the geographical advantages of Qinling Mountains." Zhang Hao held his chin with one hand, his business mind working quickly, and his eyes flashing with wisdom.

After a long time, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "I have an idea."

Everyone looked over immediately.

Zhang Hao chose his words and said slowly: "I think we should do something special. All the sightseeing tours are too ordinary."

After a brief pause, he looked at everyone and said, "What do you think of the Qinling Riding Competition?"

"Qinling Riding Competition?" Hearing this, Chen Yuan became interested and asked, "How is the riding method?"

Zhang Hao's thoughts turned, and more ideas emerged in his mind: "Aren't there many beastmasters who have contracts with mounts and pets now? Let's organize a group of such beastmasters to compete."

"The Qinling Mountain Road is winding and complex, which is very challenging for these beastmasters and is very suitable as a competition route."

"You mean like racing a car, racing a mount or a pet?" Chen Yuan quickly understood Zhang Hao's idea.

"That's right. Let's shout out slogans and let all the beastmasters who own mounts and pets gather in Xuanhe Village to compete in Qinling Mountains for the championship." Zhang Hao replied.

"Who said that only pet battles can be held?"

"Competing to see who can run faster is also a competition!"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan fell into deep thought: "It sounds interesting, but there are still many details that need to be considered."

Zhang Hao grinned and said, "I'm just offering an idea. Whether it will work or not depends on the leaders' discussion."

Then, he turned his head to look at Chen Yuan and said, "But if you take the initiative to bring this up, I think it should work."
