Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 169 Jungle Warfare: Almost Got Chilled (Extra)

The person in the tree was about to aid his companion on the ground but, at the moment he was about to act, he sensed danger from behind.

He turned his gun around and what he saw was a feline animal with fur that was golden and faintly tinged with red.

He pulled the trigger, and Big Gold let out a scream of agony, tumbling down from mid-air onto the ground.

While that man attempted to fire another shot, in the next instant, he was fiercely clawed by a paw from the side.

Little Owl Mother grazed the man's cheek as she flew past, then alighted on a branch of another tree.

Its claws, besides catching mice, were also very proficient at scratching people.

Startled by Big Gold's cry, Little Jin turned her head only to see her companion lying miserably on the ground, blood seeping from his abdomen.

The three men lying prone on the ground could no longer hide and, conceding defeat, engaged directly with Brother Leopard and his family.

Jinya, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, joined the fray as well.

Little Jin ran to her kin, sniffed him, and then sprang up the tree, using her agile and savvy movements. Taking advantage of the man in the tree who was impeded by his cumbersome camouflaged outfit, she struck hard with her claws, hit and run, never lingering for battle.

Little Owl Mother, clever as she was, rotated her eyeballs, straining to fly toward the rescue center to find help.

The noise here was significant, and those men wanted to escape, firing shots wildly to push Brother Leopard and the others back, then dragged their companion and ran in another direction.

The four men split into two groups, fleeing in two different directions. Brother Leopard and his group were suddenly uncertain which way to pursue.

Leopard Sister didn't hesitate and pursued the two-legged beast that had shot Brother Leopard.

Worried about his wife's safety, Brother Leopard followed closely behind, with both little leopards immediately giving chase.

Little Jin ran a few steps and stopped, returning to Big Gold's side. She nudged him with her nose, but Big Gold didn't move an inch.

Fortunately, Chen Ying and the others arrived quickly.

The Protection Station and Forest Police went after Brother Leopard and his family, while Chen Ying stayed behind. After examining Big Gold's injury, she decided to immediately return to the rescue center to perform surgery on Big Gold.

She also took the opportunity to capture Little Jin and wouldn't let her leave.

In case Big Gold needed a blood transfusion, they needed to see if Little Jin could be of any help.

They carried Big Gold back to the rescue center as steadily as possible, and immediately opened up the operating room.

"It's a penetrating wound to the abdomen."

From the imaging, the wound fortunately missed the vital organs, and being a through-and-through wound.

Big Gold was unconscious due to falling and becoming stunned, coupled with significant blood loss from the wound, which had delayed its waking.

After nearly an hour spent treating the wound and performing sutures and bandaging, Chen Ying injected Big Gold with a mild sedative to let it rest well.

Upon leaving the operating room, Old Gao reported on the situation.

"We caught two of them, but two got away. Brother Leopard was injured in the fight and has been taken to the temporary operating room at the Protection Station for treatment."

The Protection Station, having known that Chen Ying was operating on Big Gold, had contacted the rescue center, which temporarily sent a Veterinarian to assist.

Fortunately, they still had the medical area's operating room, with all the basic tools, plus the medicines and equipment the Veterinarian brought from the center, there was no problem in performing trauma surgery.

Before evening fell and it got dark, except for the Forest Police and firefighters who came to assist, all the other Forest Patrol Officers were withdrawn.

Master Zhao and Master Yi voluntarily came to the rescue center to help guard through the night.

Those people must have known that the rescue center housed rare animals and specifically targeted them.

Director Bai had initially planned to have Chen Ying and her team evacuate first, but Chen Ying disagreed, and Old Gao also disagreed.

They could just walk away, but what about the little animals?

Wouldn't those people just end up capturing all of them like Little Jin?

While Chen Ying and Little Sen took care of the animals, Old Gao was also busy. He had contacted several friends and acquired some sort of alarm system, planning to enhance the safety and security measures for the rescue center.

In fact, poachers wouldn't normally target a rescue station, they would avoid it at all costs and hope that no one catches a glimpse of them.

These people came to the rescue station to draw their attention, just like previously suspected, the real poachers had already penetrated deep into the neighboring protected area.

This was not something they could get involved in any longer.

Leopard Sister and her family returned at night, with two young men carrying Brother Leopard, and three little leopards following behind.

The two young men carrying Brother Leopard were trembling with fear, terrified of jolting him and getting bitten by Leopard Sister and the two little leopards.

Jinya and Little Jin saw that Big Gold wasn't seriously injured and were worried about the male lynx, so they took advantage of the night to go report to Hot Spring Gully.

It was a bond formed through a tough situation, pure and simple.

Big Gold woke up the next morning and subconsciously wanted to stretch lazily, but the pain that followed made it yowl for quite some time.

Little monkey timidly stood outside its enclosure, thought for a moment, then ran to the kitchen to drag half a rabbit back for it.

The food bowl was still little monkey's own, a pity indeed.

Big Gold had never seen little monkey and didn't spot Little Jin, plus it was trapped in some inexplicable contraption, which nearly sent it into a meltdown.

Chen Ying was checking on Brother Leopard's injured leg when she heard a noise from the observation room and hurried over to check.

Big Gold, upon seeing this unfamiliar two-legged beast, became even more agitated, and the enclosure was barely able to contain it.

Fortunately, Jinya returned just in time, bringing fresh prey to feed the injured Big Gold.

"What's all this fuss, eat!" Jinya stuffed the wild rabbit she carried into the enclosure, "Little Jin told me to tell you that it's gone to the mountain across to check things out, it will be back in a couple of days. You also have a kin on another mountain."

Big Gold twitched its nose, catching Little Jin's scent on Jinya, and its eyes became lost.

Upon sniffing again, it felt strangely peculiar!

"Stop sniffing and eat your meal," Jinya uttered annoyed, as she lay down on her side, her large eyes glaring intensely at Big Gold.

This stupid Young Tiger, taken down at the first encounter, what a disgrace to the Big Cats.

After preparing the medicine, Chen Ying seized the opportunity while Big Gold was distracted by breakfast, grabbed its hind leg, and expertly gave it an injection.

Big Gold, restricted by the surgical suit and Elizabethan collar, was furiously powerless and could only take a couple of bites and yowl.

After yowling for a while, it grew tired, so it simply ate a few bites, lay down, then after a few more bites, took another nap.

It took the whole day for it to finish just one and a half rabbits.

But being well-fed and rested, it made a quick recovery.

After Little Jin returned from strolling around the neighboring protected area, Big Gold's wound had already begun to heal.

"Did you find your kin?"

Chen Ying tenderly stroked Little Jin's back.

Although it had put on weight before, with all the recent running around and not having proper meals, Little Jin had visibly lost weight.

It was innately weaker than others of its kind, having suffered so much when younger, it grew up a size smaller compared to its peers.

Standing next to Big Gold, it was like a father beside its young.

"Didn't see them, but I did see other Big Cats. I told them, whether they believe me or not I don't know, but anyway, I've strolled around and done what I needed to do."

Little Jin caught its breath, made do with a few bites to eat, then ran to the observation room to visit Big Gold.

It felt somewhat embarrassed, if it hadn't been for Big Gold insisting, it might have been the one injured.

They had underestimated their enemy, who knew the two-legged beast perched in the tree had such a fearsome thing with them.

Big Gold avoided Little Jin's concerned gaze with a shifty look.

It was too ashamed to admit that it could have stealthily pounced on the person, but it wanted to intimidate the other party to show Little Jin how formidable it was, so it deliberately kept a distance before pouncing.

And then, it nearly met its end.
