Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 121: Shattered, Can the Snow Leopard Also Take Calls Now?
Great Bai's movements were incredibly swift.
With one sweep of his paw, he caught Leo's arm, propped himself up, bit the skin behind Leo's ear, lifted him from above, and placed him in front of himself.
Chen Ying stood under the tree, feeling his heart beating violently against his chest.
"Come down, Leo, come down. Let me check your paws."

Although Leo had recovered well and was agile at climbing trees, he was still a little bear that had suffered a paw fracture. Chen Ying was frightened that this might cause further damage to his just-healed paw.
He and Little Sen brought Leo down and carried him away for a checkup.
"The bones in the paw are okay, but the strength in the fourth and fifth fingers is lacking. It must be from climbing too much recently."
Chen Ying brought out the former hand cage, applied some medicine to it, wrapped it lightly, and then fixed it with the hand cage.
"Be good for now, and no climbing trees. Let's make sure your paw is fine before you do anything else."
The little guy was unpredictable and not sensitive to pain. If they weren't cautious, they might just end up watching his hand become completely useless.
After bandaging him, they placed Leo beside Great Bai to let him sniff the medicated smell on Leo's paw.
"Great Bai, before the smell of the medicine on his paw completely fades, don't let him climb trees. Keep a close eye on him. Once he's healed, you can take him around to roam and climb, even fight if necessary."
Great Bai picked up Little Leo and held him close, mimicking how Jiaojiao usually soothed Leo, offering him kisses and cuddles for comfort.
Jiaojiao also came over, sniffed her son's paw, and thrust a shoot in front of him.
"Ying ying, eat, eat more to heal faster."
Enjoying the rare double affection from his parents, Leo leaned against Great Bai, sharing the shoot with him, although eating was a bit awkward with only one usable paw.
Great Bai bit off the base of the shoot and broke off the tip for Leo to eat.
Little Sen's eyes widened at the sight, and he stealthily took a video, adding sound before sending it out, also sharing it in the group to liven up the atmosphere.
"Great Bai is such a great dad!"
"What's more, Leo isn't even his kid!"
"Just wondering, is there any male panda that is this patient with kids?"
"Do you think when Leo grows up, he might become a forest king like Hu Zi?"
"Of course, our Leo has been smart and brave since he was little, good at causing a stir. When he grows up, he'll go stir up other animals."
During this rare relaxed moment, everyone chatted idly in the group, when suddenly someone posted a shocking expression.
"My God, Dr. Gao and his team encountered a snow leopard up on Snow Mountain!"
"How do you know? Did Dr. Gao not flee but stopped to take a video?"
"No, it's my classmate working at Gula Gully Forest Station who told me. Their forest patrol officers and the local police from Gula Gully have already headed up there."
Chen Ying immediately thought of that scumbag snow leopard.
But that shouldn't be right. The scumbag snow leopard's territory was above the high mountain meadow, with Mr. Lepus's territory in between. It was unlikely that Mr. Lepus would allow the scumbag snow leopard to roam freely in his territory.
Besides, the place where Dr. Gao and his team were staying, other than being abundant with birds, didn't have the kind of food that snow leopards liked.
And considering the snow leopard's appetite, even if that group of rainbow pheasants went extinct, it wouldn't be enough to meet its dietary needs.
"Can you ask your classmate for a picture? I want to see if it's the same snow leopard that Yin Li and I encountered before."
The girl Chen Ying contacted immediately asked her classmate, eventually getting two unclear pictures.
"Brother Ying, my classmate says the signal is not good on the mountain. These photos were sent earlier to their work group by her colleague; they are a bit blurry. There's a strong wind on the mountain now, they can't go up, and Dr. Gao and his team can't come down. But for now, it seems relatively safe."
Chen Ying held the photo for a long while, a thought struck him: could it be that the snow leopard was looking for him?
Unfortunately, Jinya wasn't around, otherwise, he could have asked it directly what was going on.
Scratching his head, Chen Ying's eyes sparkled as he spotted the idle Brother Leopard.
Here's an idea!
"Brother Leopard, can we talk about something?"
A rabbit in exchange for Brother Leopard's puzzled gaze: offering favors without a cause, suspect of either scheming or stealing.
"Brother Leopard, how long has it been since you've seen Leopard Sister's brother? Want to check on how he's doing?"
Brother Leopard turned his head away, uninterested in dealing with this crazy two-legged beast.
A male leopard visiting another male leopard—is he looking to fight or really looking to fight?
"No, listen, you've got Leopard Sister who's as beautiful as a flower for a wife, yet your brother-in-law is all alone, a lone leopard. You should go tease him a bit. If he dares to talk back, just hit him."
Leopard Sister slightly lifted her head, her lips curling into a shrewd smile.
What was this two-legged beast up to, trying to incite conflict between her spouse and her brother? What crooked idea was he concocting now?
Seeing that Brother Leopard was somewhat persuaded, Chen Ying quickly added another line.
"Next to his territory, there's also a white leopard. Your brother-in-law is timid, often overpowered in fights. Go help him stand up for himself and let the others know, the foolish brother still has backup."
Leopard Sister scoffed, realizing that Drunkard's intention wasn't on the foolish brother but on that white leopard.
Leopard Sister was also curious to know which one was stronger, the foolish little brother or the white leopard. With a roar, she encouraged Brother Leopard to help take a look.
Anyway, he still had to stay here for quite a long while, Brother Leopard was practically growing long hair from idleness.
Hearing his wife's words, Brother Leopard finally stood up. He gulped down the rabbit in a few bites, licked Leopard Sister's cheek, and deftly jumped into the forest, disappearing without a trace.
Big Baby and Little Baby wanted to follow but were scared off by their mother's cold snort, hesitating to even step forward.
In the end, they obediently returned to their mother's platform underneath and playfully nuzzled each other.
After thanking the girl who helped gather information, Chen Ying thought for a moment and then dialed Suo Wang's phone.
Sure enough, Suo Wang was on the mountain. When he received Chen Ying's call, he thought Chen Ying had come to the mountain too, anxious as could be.
"Suo Wang, I heard you ran into a snow leopard on the mountain? Did it hurt anyone?"
"No, no one was hurt, but it keeps blocking Dr. Gao's tent and calling out occasionally. We are trying to drive it away; if that doesn't work, we'll have to use sedatives."
Chen Ying paused for a moment, then suggested putting the phone in a waterproof bag, switching on the speakerphone at maximum volume, and bringing it close to the snow leopard to see if he could communicate with it.
Suo Wang's eyes widened as he glanced at his phone, a look of utter disbelief on his face.
Has this world finally decided to embrace fantasy?
The veterinarian from Gula Gully, noticing Suo Wang's bewildered expression, curiously asked him what was going on.
"It's Dr. Chen from Jiamu Gully's veterinarian clinic; he said he wants to try communicating with the snow leopard by putting the phone near it…"
As Suo Wang spoke, he covered the mouthpiece, "Is Dr. Chen a bit…" he twisted his lips weirdly, leaving the sentence hanging.
However, the veterinary from Gula Gully had worked with Chen Ying for a few days and had also heard the miraculous stories about him circulating around.
"It might work; let's give it a try. If your phone breaks, I'll buy you a new one."
"It's not about the phone, will the snow leopard even answer the call?"
Though confused, he proceeded at the insistence of the Gula Gully veterinarian, following Chen Ying's instructions.
Of course, he wasn't the only one shocked, at least the forest patrol officers and other officers on site looked at Suo Wang and the Gula Gully veterinarian as if they were touching divine gold.
