Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 309 - Hang in There, We’re Coming

Chapter 309 -309 Hang in There, We’re Coming

After circling Jinya three times to make sure it was okay, Little Jin was willing to go eat.

Er Niu and Jinya lay by the tent door, their two big heads buzzing together like cicadas.

“Does that big fellow want to have babies with you? Otherwise, why would he hunt for you?”

Er Niu scratched at the not yet completely withered grass by the door and stayed silent.

Could hardly hunt, so how could a male leopard be interested in it?

That last fight with the male lynx, being able to bite the opponent was purely accidental.

The lynx itself stuck its leg into its mouth. If it hadn’t vomited quickly, that leg would’ve been gone.

In the end, it was still the one that ran to find a person to rescue that lynx dumber than itself.

Jinya was quite intrigued by the two lynxes it mentioned, so after Little Jin finished eating, it persuaded Er Niu to take them to find the gray lynx.

“It lives a bit far away. If we go there, we definitely won’t be back today.”

“If we can’t come back, then so be it. I’ll tell the Two-legged beast. I carry this with me; he can find me.”

Jinya puffed out its chest, revealing the collar on its neck.

This was a research necessity. After all, it came to the snowy wilderness with a mission as a mature cat. To cooperate with the Two-legged beast and complete his work would allow the Two-legged beast to have food to eat.

Sigh, why doesn’t he eat the meat it brings back? A bit too picky to feed.

Little Jin, well-fed and rested, shook its fur and moved closer to Jinya to listen to their bickering plan.

With a slight look of disdain at Er Niu and turning to Jinya, there was a hint of helplessness in Little Jin’s eyes.

Never mind, as long as Jinya is happy.

Chen Ying, who was busy communicating about treatment plans, was bumped by Jinya and learned that the three of them were going out to play and might not be back for a couple of days. He wasn’t too worried.

Er Niu, although a terrible fighter, at least had great survival skills. With the brains of Little Jin present, there shouldn’t be too much problem with safety.

The caveat being, they shouldn’t provoke brown bears!

They wouldn’t really go there, would they? Chen saw the three big cats walking away and instantly felt uneasy.

Er Niu took the lead, leading Jinya and Little Jin toward the usual spot where it “fought” with the two lynxes. There was a small lake, very small, one that would freeze over in winter.

Jinya and Little Jin had never seen a frozen lake; the two “country bumpkins” curiously lay on the ice, trying hard to see if there were any fish underneath.

Er Niu didn’t eat fish and had never thought of catching fish in the lake.

Seeing Jinya and Little Jin curious, it also became curious and lay on the ice, even trying to dig a hole with Jinya.

On the other side of the lake, hidden in the snow and rocks, Lynx Sister was utterly befuddled.

Were these three here to make a joke?

Didn’t their paws hurt?

Of course it hurt, so after trying a few times and realizing this was an “enemy” beyond the power of a cat, Er Niu was the first to give up.

It nudged Jinya, “Let’s go, we should find a suitable cave in advance.”

Er Niu remembered there was a sand fox cave nearby; they could drive the sand fox out and live there.

Reluctantly leaving the frozen lake, the three cats found the sand fox cave, but a pair of eyes inside made them retreat without a fight.

So scary, to actually have a big creature inside.

The mother bear inside, pregnant and close to giving birth, barely opened her eyes and scared the intruders away, then she turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Jinya lifted its paw, gesturing toward the cave entrance, finding it hard to put it into words.

How did that bear squeeze in there?

With the cave they remembered being occupied, they had to hurry up and find a place to spend the night.

In the Snowy Plateau, after four in the afternoon, temperatures would just keep dropping.

Even during daylight, temperatures were below ten degrees, and at night, it was minus ten degrees or less.

And it would get colder.

At the coldest times, even during the day the highest temperature was below minus ten degrees, and at night, around minus thirty degrees.

Even the highland animals, the ones least afraid of the cold, wouldn’t choose to be active on freezing nights.

Er Niu could find a spot to shelter at random, but its new friends didn’t seem like they could just shelter anywhere.

It certainly didn’t want its friends to become bones on the wilderness.

Luckily, on the leeward side of another hill, they found an abandoned cave.

The cave was quite large, with scattered bones outside. Perhaps a gift left by its former owner for nature.

Checking inside, there was more than enough room for the three of them to settle down.

In the cave, Er Niu also sniffed a familiar scent.

Jinya smelled it too, a scent from the same species or even gender, which tensed its mood.

But luckily, with Little Jin and its new bestie around, in a few minutes, Jinya calmed itself down.

Having eaten their fill during the day, they could last until tomorrow or even the day after.

Er Niu yawned and suggested they rest early; it curled up with its tail on top of itself and fell asleep instantly.

Jinya and Little Jin snuggled together and curled up against the cave wall.

“This Big Cat, is its brain a bit off?”

Little Jin quietly muttered, Jinya, with a slightly complicated expression, glanced at it, making excuses for their friend.

“It’s probably just used to being alone; it doesn’t really know how to communicate.”

The area of Jiamu Gully is not small, but compared to the wilderness, it’s like comparing a big city to a remote mountain village.

Here, where land was vast and animals were scarce, besides rabbits and rodents, one could hardly see other small animals. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Not like in Jiamu Gully, where there is fresh Mouse Bar and tender rabbits all year round.

The meat of the rabbits here is tough on the teeth!

After muttering for a while, the cold wind blowing into the entrance of the cave gradually grew stronger.

But thankfully, Er Niu gave them the spot sheltered from the wind and slept closer to the entrance herself.

Little Jin licked Jinya, “Go to sleep early, don’t go out tonight, it’s too cold.”

With a few hums, Jinya hugged Little Jin’s half-body and used her thick Mao Mao to shield her from the cold wind blowing into the cave.

Not far away, Lynx Sister gnashed her teeth.

Damn it, if she could have beaten the three of them, she would have charged over long ago.

This was her cave, and yet, it had been forcefully taken over, (｀ﾍ´)=3 so infuriating!

After comparing their fighting strength, Lynx Sister helplessly found another nearby cave with less favorable conditions.

This place used to belong to a Sand fox, but now the Sand fox’s bones were almost turning to sand, so naturally the cave changed hands.

Moreover, the original master of this place, the laborer who dug the hole, was a Ground squirrel.

It had worked hard to earn itself a house and hadn’t even had the chance to enjoy it before the Sand fox took over the mouse and its house.

The next day, the brilliant sunlight bathed the wilderness, and the animals that got up early started to emerge from their hiding places.

Only the morning to noon period was suitable for activities such as foraging and drinking; all concentrated within this time frame.

Several days of continuous sunshine made the layer of snow quickly thin out and finally melt into water, which would freeze into ice overnight.

The three cats lurked in the wilderness, picking and choosing what to have for their breakfast.

“The taste of those wild donkeys over there is pretty good, it’s just that they run too fast and are not easy to catch. During the warmer weather, there were a lot of little cubs to catch, but now they’ve all grown up…”

Grown up, more meat, but also greater difficulty in hunting.

At least Er Niu alone could not take down this group of Highland elves.

Her gaze swept around, meeting the eyes of another in a bush of withered grass.

The enemy was here, and so were the teammates!

The relationship between Er Niu and Lynx Sister was very complex.

They were both enemies and friends.

Normally enemies, they would fight upon meeting. But during hunting, the two of them were “good friends” with a tacit understanding; a single glance could decide what to have for today’s brunch.

Today, the wilderness had one more legend.

Four Big Cats shamelessly joined forces during the breeding season, exacerbating the already dwindling numbers of the Tibetan gazelle herd, and claiming the lives of three cubs who had just weaned.

During this time, a male gazelle, too anxious to escape and inadvertently missing his step, shattered the house of a hare and fell before another Big Cat that had been lurking nearby without anyone noticing.

That cat, with a stupefied expression, still unable to recover from the shock, bit through the male gazelle’s neck in one bite.

To eat or not to eat, that was a good question!

Amidst the cold winds and vast wilderness, five Big Cats calmly looked at each other.

Lynx Sister glanced at the lamb carcass at her feet.

Er Niu and Jinya looked at the two lamb carcasses at their feet.

The gaze of the three ladies instantly turned fierce and fell upon the Male leopard below them, the larger-bodied male gazelle.

Shameless! Stealing the female cats’ prey!

The Male leopard struggled to drag the male gazelle, coming over to where Er Niu and the others were.

Dropping the male gazelle, he carried away a little cub.

Lynx Sister: ?

Jinya: ??

Little Jin gave Er Niu a sidelong glance: Is that your boy?

Er Niu was shocked, Er Niu wanted to explain, Er Niu didn’t know how to explain…

In the end, she bravely nodded.

As Jinya said, those who show too much kindness without reason are either thieves or tricksters.

This Male leopard had given her meat twice now, he must be coveting her body!

(ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~, Lynx Sister took away the lamb meat, Jinya and Little Jin joined forces to drag away the lamb meat, leaving Er Niu and a male gazelle that she couldn’t move behind, gradually turning to stone in the cold wind.

Outside the cave, the three Big Cats were full and rounded, leaving the remaining meat abandoned in the wilderness, soon to be cleaned up by Vultures and scavengers.

“Mmm, that Gray Lynx is nearby, do you want to go beat it up?”

Er Niu rolled on the ground, a bit too lazy and comfortable to want to move.

Today’s sun was really nice, basking in the warm heat, perfect for a nap.

Seeing Er Niu dodge the question, Jinya didn’t say anymore, and together with Little Jin, found a wind-sheltered corner, curled up, and fell asleep too.

By ten past, it had gotten a bit hot.

The Big Cats moved positions, deciding to head back.

After all, with the day stretching long, there was no hurry; they could do whatever they wanted.

Just reaching the lake, from afar they saw the Gray Lynx surrounded by a pack of wolves.

Jinya looked up at the sky and saw the familiar small aircraft hovering overhead.

The Two-legged beast must be running this way!

Jinya knew a bit about the Two-legged beast’s plans; its own Little Lynx, that sick Lynx, and this Gray one, were all part of the Two-legged beast’s plan.

It, Jinya, would surely be able to help the Two-legged beast!

“Let’s go, that Gray Lynx is surrounded by wolves.”

Er Niu had been considering how to persuade her friends to help Lynx Sister, and before she could come up with a good excuse, Jinya had already made the decision.

Er Niu thought that her best friend was truly a smart animal, knowing even what a leopard had in mind!

“Roar, hang in there guys, we’re coming ┗|｀O′|┛ roar~~”

Er Niu turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing into the encircling wolf pack.
