Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Chapter 569: A Thunderbolt Growing in the Shadows



Step by step, like the footsteps of a devil.

Just as the clouded leopard was about to be approached, the Indochinese leopard made a fierce pounce, and the clouded leopard jumped in place, using the elasticity of branches to dash into the bushes.

Oh snap, hunting failed.

But the Indochinese leopard was not disappointed. Instead, it enthusiastically jumped down, sniffed left and right with no interest in the placenta on the ground, directly found the hidden camera, and made an intimate contact with it using its nose.

It seemed to discover something interesting. It let out two howls, flicked its tail, and completely left the place.

Shortly after it left, the previously escaped clouded leopard reappeared in the camera frame, cautiously waited for quite a while before slowly approaching the camera step by step, and sniffed around with similar actions.

Chen Ying didn't notice the clouded leopard's actions as he had already rushed out, ready to welcome the arrival of his big baby, the Indochinese leopard.

He really didn't expect that the leopard who saved the disabled little cub actually found its way here.

Indeed, animals have privileges; they don't need to apply for visas and regard borderlines as nothing!

Envy, jealousy, can't hate it.

The Indochinese leopard saw Chen Ying and started running from afar, finally making a leopard dive to successfully pin Chen Ying under it.

It didn't dare to lick, though it wanted to. Chen Ying couldn't withstand such intense enthusiasm.

A cat's tongue has barbs; he didn't want to appear at his upcoming wedding with a disfigured face.

Luckily, although the big baby was overly enthusiastic and unrestrained, full of border tribe flair, it knew what it shouldn't do, only rubbing fiercely, desperate to leave its scent on Chen Ying.

"Why did you come here?" Chen Ying asked after snuggling with it for a while.

"I'm not interested in those two. I thought it might be more fun hanging around with you, so I came. Anyway, finding you isn't hard, considering your love for these little things. I followed the trail right to you."

This carefree tone, why does it make you a bit itchy?

Saying it's easy, but it wasn't really that easy. After the Indochinese leopard found the two-legged beast it wanted, exhaustion flooded in instantly.

"I need to sleep. I'll hang out with you after I wake up."

Who's keeping whom company here, damn it?

The leopard seemed to bring them good luck. Over the next two days, they first found where the fishing cats frequented, and after staking out all night, they finally saw that graceful, agile, and particularly alert female fishing cat.

The reason they could immediately tell it was a female was due to its unusually bulging belly. Judging by the situation, she would become a mother in the next couple of days.

The team gave this Indochinese leopard a nickname, Lucky.

Not only did it bring good fortune to people, but also to the disabled fishing cat and her cubs.

Though Lucky seemed good-tempered, not many could truly get close to it. Apart from Chen Ying who could pet it at will, only Dao Meihua had touched its back twice, just twice, not a touch more.

While Lucky accompanied Chen Ying in search of cats, a clouded leopard silently watched them from a tree in the distance.

The leopard didn't understand. The leopard couldn't comprehend. What did that big leopard eat, and why did it dare to get so close to the two-legged beast? Did it eat too many little mushrooms? But weren't leopards not supposed to eat those?

Switching to a lying sideways posture, the clouded leopard continued to ponder, its small mind almost filled with confusion.

Forget it, better eat some meat first to calm down.

This leopard was still young, healthy, strong, and had top-notch hunting abilities. Most importantly, it had a strong curiosity about all kinds of creatures. In human terms, it even had to dig into a pile of dung to see if anything was hidden inside, and it had particularly mischievous, no, naughty claws.

Just when Chen Ying and the others finally managed to see the mother fishing cat appear, everyone was excitedly snapping photos, but this sly leopard stealthily approached and swatted the water surface just as the fishing cat was about to catch a fish, scaring the fish away. It even let out a "haha" sound afterward, like it was mocking.

Not only was the mother fishing cat enraged, but even the onlookers were angry. If you have the guts, mess with other animals; bullying a cat about to give birth is no skill!

Chen Ying was both angry and embarrassed, couldn't care about anything else, and directly rushed over to drag the leopard away from the water.

The sudden action frightened the fishing cat, who instantly hid in the tall grass by the water to watch secretly. It was amazed to see that the two-legged beast was actually using both hands to forcibly drag the leopard away, its already round eyes were about to pop out.

After a while, this cat seemed to have made up its mind and didn't continue fishing, instead turning away from the water.

The clouded leopard, watching the entire process from above, stretched lazily, sneezed, then turned to find food.

The crazy leopard's daily life was quite entertaining.

Dragged aside by Chen Ying and educated with a rap on the head, Lucky lay on the ground, holding its head with both paws, furtively glancing at Chen Ying several times with eyes full of mischief.

Chen Ying really liked this guy. This kind of affection was different from what he had for Leopard Sister Jinya and the others, more like having a naughty little kid at home that forced you to stay energetic every day.

Taking a glance at this rascal, Chen Ying grabbed it by the scruff and ducked into his tent.

Dao Meihua was writing an observation log on the small table inside the tent. Seeing the two come in, she silently scooted over to make room for Lucky.

Opening the laptop and connecting the video, the first thing that came into view was Jinya's little face.

"Jinya, what are you up to?" He greeted his beloved daughter with a smile in his eyes.
