Forest Ranger: Help! A golden eagle cub is relying on me

As the distance got closer, the villagers finally saw clearly.

That's a tiger.

A living tiger with a dead pig in its mouth!

"Oh my god! A tiger! It's really a tiger!"

"It...it bit the wild boar to death!"

The villagers' hearts, which had just been relieved, suddenly rose to their throats again, even more unbearable than when they saw the wolves before.

Fear was like an icy tide that instantly overwhelmed them.

The legs of the few timid ones became weak, their faces turned pale, and they almost collapsed to the ground.

Even Ayiguna, seeing Hu Zi's fierce appearance and the bloody wild boar in his mouth, turned slightly pale and subconsciously moved closer to Chen Chuan.

Hu Zi dragged the wild boar weighing at least two hundred kilograms, walked step by step to Chen Chuan, and threw the prey on the snow with a "bang".

It raised its blood-stained face, looked at Chen Chuan with its amber eyes, and made a low "woooo" sound in its throat, as if it was asking for credit or asking for a reward.

That look was completely different from the ferocious look he had when he was hunting the wild boar just now.

Chen Chuan smiled and rubbed Hu Zi's big head. Hu Zi purred comfortably and rubbed his palm with his head, like a big coquettish cat.

The old farmer who had questioned Chen Chuan before now opened his mouth wide enough to fit an apple. He pointed at the docile Hu Zi, then looked at the calm Chen Chuan, his voice trembling with excessive shock.

"Brother Chen... Brother Chen Chuan, this... this tiger, in front of you, how... how come it looks like my cat?"

The rest of the villagers also had expressions as if they had seen a ghost. The looks they gave Chen Chuan changed from initial suspicion to deep awe and a hint of unspeakable fear.

While everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the tiger, the mother snow leopard walked over from the off-road vehicle with graceful steps.

It gently shook its tail covered with beautiful spots, and its golden eyes swept over the dead wild boar on the ground, then looked at Hu Zi who looked like he was seeking credit, and a very light, almost inaudible hum came from its throat.

It seems to be saying, what is there to show off about such a small scene?

It did not stop for a moment. Its figure flashed and it merged silently into the nearby forest like a gray-white ghost.

The camera in the live broadcast room immediately followed the snow leopard mother.

"Is Leopard Mom going to take part in the show herself? I look forward to her performance!"

"Leopard Mom: This is a small scene. Let me show you what the real art of hunting is."

The mother snow leopard stalks through the snow-covered forest, each step precise and silent, her long tail swaying slightly behind her to maintain her body balance.

It stayed on the ranch for a year, living a life of luxury and good food every day, and only went hunting a few times.

At this moment, its instinct as a top predator is awakening, but its body's reaction seems to be half a beat slower than it remembered.

Soon, it found a wild boar digging for food in the snow. It was a bit bigger than the one that Hu Zi had hunted.

The mother snow leopard lowered her body, her muscles tensed instantly, and she pounced out like an arrow.

The wild boar was frightened, let out a sharp howl, and turned around and ran away.

The mother snow leopard chased closely, its speed was so fast that it left a trail of afterimages in the forest.

However, just as it was about to catch up with the wild boar and prepare to launch a fatal attack, a piece of snow-covered pumice under its feet suddenly loosened.

The mother snow leopard was caught off guard and suddenly lost her balance. She rolled several times on the steep snow slope and finally stopped after crashing into a pine tree trunk, covered in snow and dead leaves.

The comments in the live broadcast room were instantly filled with worry.

"Fuck! Leopard Mom fell down!"

"It looks so painful! Are you okay? Anchor, go check it out!"

"Has Leopard Mom not exercised for a long time? Her skills are rusty?"

"That wild boar ran away! Leopard Mom is in big trouble now!"

Chen Chuan saw this scene through the images sent back by the drone and frowned slightly.

But he quickly regained his composure and said to the camera, "Don't worry too much. The snow leopard's body is very flexible. A fall of this magnitude is nothing to it."

"It has been in a slump for a year, so it's normal that its hunting skills are a little rusty."

"Give it some time to adapt, I believe it can get back to its form."

The snow leopard mother shook her dizzy head and shook off the snow on her body.

It raised its head and looked at the wild boar that had run a long distance away. A hint of anger flashed in its golden eyes.

It let out a low roar, exerted force on its limbs again, and its entire body suddenly shot out like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme.

This time, its speed seemed to be a little faster than before, with a ruthless determination to not give up until it caught its prey.

The wild boar obviously didn't expect that this guy, who had just fallen and was knocked unconscious, could still burst out with such an amazing speed.

It howled in fear and ran desperately in the snow.

But the mother snow leopard has completely entered the hunting state. Every movement it makes is full of power and beauty. She accurately judges the wild boar's escape route and constantly shortens the distance between them.

Finally, on a relatively open snowfield, the mother snow leopard seized the opportunity, accelerated suddenly, and pounced on the wild boar from the side, and her sharp claws instantly pierced into the wild boar's vitals.

The wild boar let out a few sharp screams and then gradually died down.

The mother snow leopard stood next to her prey, breathing slightly, her chest heaving violently.

It lowered its head and licked the blood on its claws, then bit the wild boar's neck and began to drag it back with difficulty.

When the mother snow leopard appeared in front of everyone, dragging the wild boar that was much heavier than herself, staggering with every step, the villagers were once again shocked and speechless.

It threw the wild boar heavily at Chen Chuan's feet, then raised its head high, its golden eyes full of pride and complacency, as if declaring its strength to everyone.

However, this pride only lasted for a few seconds.

The next moment, the mother snow leopard fell to the ground with a plop, sticking out her pink tongue, breathing heavily, and her long tail weakly flapping on the snow.

It turned its head and looked at Chen Chuan with its eyes that still held a hint of arrogance, and made a few weak "woooo" sounds in its throat.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: I'm tired, we'll deal with the rest tomorrow, and no one can make me move again.

The audience in the live broadcast room were overjoyed when they saw the snow leopard mother’s “handsome look that only lasted three seconds”.

“Hahahaha! Leopard Mom is using her life to demonstrate what it means to ‘one second I throw a powerful punch, the next second I die on the spot’!”

"Leopard Mom: Who said I was fat just now? Come out! I can fight for another 300 rounds... No way! I'm dying of exhaustion!"

"I'm dying of laughter. This contrast is so cute! Leopard mom, if you don't exercise, you're going to become as fat as a pig!"

"Host, your snow leopard's stamina is too poor. Is he so tired after catching a pig?"

Chen Chuan looked at the exhausted look of the snow leopard mother and shook his head helplessly.

He walked over, gently stroked the snow leopard mother's soft fur, and explained to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Brothers, this can't be blamed on the leopard mother's poor physical strength."

"Snow leopards are top explosive athletes due to their body structure, and are good at short-distance sprints and ambushes." "But in terms of endurance, they are indeed not as good as wolves or some other cats."

"The long chase, especially dragging such heavy prey, takes a huge toll on their physical strength."

"It has been well fed and well fed at the ranch this year, and its exercise intake has indeed decreased a lot. It seems that I need to take it out for exercise more often in the future."

Chen Chuan looked at the snow leopard mother's completely desperate look and shook his head helplessly.

He patted the mother snow leopard's back soothingly, and then turned his gaze to the dense forest where the wolves had disappeared.

The drone's camera had already quietly followed Dahuang and the others.

Unlike the individual fights of Tiger and Snow Leopard mother, the wolf pack's actions displayed a completely different style.

Dahuang walked steadily at the front of the team, his agile body making almost no sound in the snow.

Its eyes are as sharp as a knife, constantly scanning the surrounding environment, judging the wind direction and terrain.

Erha seemed to be jumping up and down. Sometimes it ran to the front of the team to explore the way, and sometimes it ran back to Dahuang, whimpering softly, as if it was reporting something.

Although its posture is not so majestic, its keen sense of smell and flexible maneuverability do play a significant role in reconnaissance.

Led by them, the wolves moved silently through the woods like a gray torrent.

Their target was clear: the farmland area most severely affected by wild boars.

Soon, the drone camera locked onto the mess at the edge of the farmland.

The overturned soil, the gnawed vegetable remains, and the dense and varied hoof prints clearly show how madly this place had been ravaged.

"Ouch."

Da Huang let out a very low, almost inaudible roar.

The wolf pack stopped advancing instantly. A dozen wolves quickly dispersed and formed a huge, loose encirclement using ridges, ditches and the remaining sparse bushes, quietly surrounding large tracts of farmland.

The audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene clearly through the drone's first-person perspective.

"Fuck, this wolf pack's coordination is too tacit! They completed the encirclement silently!"

"Da Huang's command ability is amazing! Erha...what is Erha doing? Is it digging a hole?"

"What do you mean by coordination? This is much better than the coordination ability of my jungler!"

In the camera, the Husky was indeed at the edge of a field, digging a shallow hole with its two front paws, as if trying to bury itself, with only its head sticking out and looking out.

Chen Chuan looked at the screen and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This guy never plays by the rules.

At this moment, there was a commotion deep in the surrounded farmland.

A few more alert wild boars seemed to have noticed something and began to grunt uneasily.

Soon after, more wild boars came out from the makeshift huts that had been destroyed by them.

One, two, five... ten...

The drone camera zoomed up, and in the picture, there were more than twenty wild boars, big and small, gathered in the middle of the farmland, looking around in a daze.

"Squeak-"

A sharp and short whistle came from Dahuang's throat, like a horn of attack.

The wolves lying in ambush all around, like long-awaited hunters, suddenly attacked from their hiding places at the same time.

Dozens of gray lightning bolts rushed towards the panicked wild boars from all directions.

The herd of wild boars went into an uproar instantly.

They screamed in fear and their fat bodies collided with each other in the small space, trying to find a way to escape.

However, the wolves' encirclement shrank extremely quickly and their coordination was perfect.

They are not in a hurry to confront the big adult wild boars head-on, but use their agility and numerical advantage to constantly bite and harass, thus dividing the wild boar group.

Several wild boars tried to break through the weak link, but after taking a few steps, they were ferociously knocked to the ground by two or three fearless wolves.

The sound of sharp teeth and claws tearing through thick skin, the miserable howls of wild boars, and the excited growls of wolves interweave into a wild hunting symphony on the silent snowfield.

The comments in the live broadcast room have gone completely crazy.

"Too fierce! This is real wolf pack hunting! Textbook-level!"

"I've only seen it in documentaries before, but I didn't expect it to be even more exciting in reality!"

"Those who say that the wolves are slow in deploying tactics, come on! This efficiency is simply ridiculous!"

The Husky also jumped out of its "trench" and barked wildly around the perimeter of the battle circle, as if cheering for the wolves or intimidating the wild boars that were trying to escape.

The battle lasted about ten minutes.

Under the efficient and cruel strangulation of the wolves, most of the wild boars fell in a pool of blood.

Only three or four wild boars that were particularly strong or lucky managed to escape from the gaps in the encirclement after paying a heavy price, and disappeared into the distant mountains without looking back.

Da Huang did not order a pursuit but let them escape.

The wolves began to clean up the battlefield, dragging the dead wild boars one by one and gathering them to an open space at the edge of the farmland.

When Chen Chuan arrived with Ayiguna and those villagers who were still skeptical, everyone was deeply shocked by the scene before them.

There were more than a dozen wild boars, the big ones weighing three or four hundred kilograms, and the small ones weighing more than a hundred kilograms. They were piled up together, forming a veritable "meat mountain".

The strong smell of blood filled the air, irritating everyone's nerves.

The wolves were standing or lying around the "meat mountain". Most of them were covered in blood, but their eyes were filled with satisfaction and pride from a successful hunt.

Dahuang stood at the highest point of the meat mountain, like a triumphant general, gazing at everyone sternly.

The Husky excitedly circled around the mountain of meat, nudging the dead pigs with its nose from time to time and wagging its tail like a rattle.

The villagers who were previously full of suspicion and even fear of Chen Chuan and the animals now opened their mouths wide, their eyes wide open, and their faces were full of disbelief.

The gray-haired old farmer stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at the piles of wild boars, then looked at the majestic wolves, and his voice changed.

"These...these...these wild boars, were they...they killed?"

"Oh my God! This... this is too amazing!"

“Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless us, our village is finally saved!”

A middle-aged woman was so excited that she clasped her hands together and tears flowed down her face.

The rest of the villagers also exclaimed and cheered, and the look they gave Chen Chuan and the animals had completely changed from initial fear and suspicion to awe and gratitude. (End of this chapter)
