Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 313 Goddess, what he is looking for is the goddess spokesperson

The five vehicles formed a semicircle with two tents set up in the middle.

Team one is on the left and team two is on the right.

Two people were left in each tent to make a fire and cook, while the others went out to look for clues.

Yin Li discussed with the captain of the opposite search and rescue team and divided the search area into two teams, communicating through walkie-talkies.

Yin Li was worried that Chen Ying had no experience in searching in the wilderness, so he asked him not to go out and stay in the tent to help cook. He planned to take people up the mountain to search.

Chen Ying grabbed him and said that she wanted to go out with him. Yin Li originally wanted to persuade him to conserve his energy and rest more, but after seeing Chen Ying's gaze, he reallocated the team.

"What did you find?"

"Xiao Jin said there are powerful beasts up here."

The mountain looked only three to five hundred meters high, with jagged rocks and exposed rocks. I looked around carefully with a telescope, but didn't see any wild animals on the mountain.

But Chen Ying believed that Xiao Jin would not talk nonsense.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain and take a look."

Yin Li still believes in Chen Ying unconditionally as always.

"Ali, come and see what this is?"

Chen Ying was in a bad mood. If she was not mistaken, it should be a human coat.

Yin Li put on gloves, picked up the clothes, unfolded them and looked at them.

"A man's jacket."

The two looked at each other, walked up the mountain road, and found a leather shoe in a pile of rocks about 150 meters away.

The leather shoes were torn and there were blood stains.

"Dajie, go find the captain of the search and rescue team on the other side and ask him to come up the mountain. We have made some discoveries here."

"Captain, have you found any clues?"

"No, it's other discoveries."

Half an hour later, the captain of the search and rescue team came up with two team members and saw Yin Li and Chen Ying measuring something with a tape measure.

"Stationmaster Yin, what did you find?"

"Captain Nan, come here. You are more experienced. Can you tell when these marks were left?"

Captain Nan was shocked when he saw the torn clothes and shoes, as well as remains that were suspected to be human bones.

"This is the size of an adult male. It looks like the marks were left there half a month ago."

Half a month ago, there were two consecutive heavy snowfalls here. Although it was not a snowstorm, even animals had to hide and starve until the wind and snow passed. It was even more impossible for humans to survive in such a climate.

Chen Ying continued to move forward with Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin said that the beast was on the top of the mountain.

Yin Li asked Captain Nan and his team members to deal with the relics and remains, and wait for the forest police to arrive.

"Let's go up and take a look. We're not sure whether he died here or up there."

Some team members wanted to follow, but were rejected by Yin Li.

"Teacher Chen said this was done by wild animals. There must be some ferocious animals up there. You guys stay here and be careful. We are used to dealing with wild animals, so nothing will happen."

After reaching a height of more than 200 meters, Chen Ying felt a little tired.

Xiao Jin obviously couldn't go on either, he just lay there whimpering and didn't want to move.

While Chen Ying was resting, Yin Li looked around and hooked a backpack out from the crevice of the rock.

The backpack was so rotten that only a piece of leather and half a strap were left.

"Stationmaster Yin, the forest police are here. Have you found anything?"

"Yes, half a bag. It might be the deceased's."

Yin Li stood up, answered Captain Nan's words, and turned around to move closer to Chen Ying.

At this moment, Chen Ying suddenly rushed over and knocked Yin Li to the ground.

At the same time, a gray and white colorful beast jumped down from above them.

Five meters away, the huge snow leopard slowly approached them in a threatening manner.

But three meters away, the snow leopard stopped, opened its mouth and yawned, then walked to the other side.

Then he lay down on the rock, his eyes fixed on Xiao Jin who was ready to attack below.

I guess this snow leopard has never seen a small animal baring its teeth at it. It feels very novel and stares at Xiao Jin without blinking.

"Hello, this two-legged beast is you..."

"I'm not interested in that stuff. There's a lot of bones and little meat, and I have to peel off several layers of skin."

Snow leopards sound younger.

"It was a big one passing by here. I couldn't beat it. It ate and left."

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment and returned to Yin Li.

"It could be a bear. Didn't they say they spotted a big brown bear? Snow leopards are top predators. In the wilderness, the only predators more powerful than them are brown bears and larger wolf packs."

But they looked around and the possibility of a wolf was slim.

It had been too long, and the corpses had long been eaten by animals and vultures that were short of food. It was impossible for them to restore the scene.

The snow leopard let them go because it sensed the scent of Chen Ying, and it discovered that the little fellow with the strange fur color below actually had the same scent as its own...

Could it be that the child was born from the same species and other animals?

It retracted and stretched its claws twice, and finally couldn't help but jump down and come close to Xiao Jin.

Because the other party had no ill intentions, Xiao Jin was extremely alert but did not take any extreme actions.

After waiting for a while, four forest police came up, but after seeing the snow leopard, the four men stood there in a daze, not knowing whether they should come up.

Chen Ying asked Yin Li not to move, and he went over to try to communicate with the snow leopard to make way.

The snow leopard opened its mouth and wanted to take Xiao Jin away.

How is this possible! Xiao Jin ran down the mountain.

The snow leopard wanted to chase it, but Chen Ying grabbed its tail without a second thought.

Oops, catching Erniu has become a habit!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and let go. The snow leopard turned its head sharply, bared its teeth at him threateningly, and swung its tail wildly in discomfort.

It probably understood that Chen Ying wanted it to move aside so that the two-legged creatures below could come up.

The snow leopard jumped onto a rock ten meters away in two or three steps and lay down, with its chin resting on its two paws and its tail swaying leisurely from side to side, watching them work.

The four forest police officers had seen snow leopards before, but never at such a close distance.

My hands and feet become uncoordinated when I work.

Chen Ying simply walked over and sat down next to the snow leopard.

"Want something to eat?"

Chen Ying took out a small bag of dried meat from his arms.

This is backup food to replenish your energy.

The snow leopard came over to smell it, and took a bite of three or four of them out of curiosity.

This kind of air-dried beef tastes better when torn by hand. Just chew it like this. Not many people can chew it.

But it was the first time for the snow leopard to eat such meat. Hey, it smells good. I want another one!
Four forest police officers cleaned the surrounding area and bagged all the suspected remains and took them back for analysis.

When he looked up and saw Chen Ying and Xue Bao sharing beef like good brothers, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

There wasn’t much stuff here, so we quickly packed up and prepared to go down the mountain.

Chen Ying asked them to go first and he would follow behind.

Unexpectedly, the snow leopard followed him down the mountain naturally.

I kept asking for dried meat along the way.

The forest police and rescue team members were curious and scared.

I could only stand far away and watch Chen Ying petting the snow leopard.

Who doesn’t dream of petting a big cat? But the big cat must be willing to let you pet it.

Even the zoo keepers, if they are not always taking care of the big cats, cannot get close to them easily.

Xiao Jin was so angry that he was shivering!
This shameless cat actually followed me and came close to me as soon as it came down. What’s the matter? You can’t find a female leopard, so you come to covet a male cat?

"Ouch!" Xiao Jin couldn't bear it anymore and swung his claws.

The snow leopard dodged quickly and was not scratched.

Xiao Jin was so angry that he crawled into Chen Ying's sleeping bag and refused to come out.

Damn it, if you can’t mess with me, I can just hide away!

Chen Ying held back her laughter and pushed the snow leopard.

Its presence made the team members afraid to enter the tent. They all hid in the next tent and peeked through the crack in the door.

The forest police also brought their own tents, which were smaller and big enough for the four of them to live in.

It was set up between a team's tents and vehicles.

When sorting out the remains and evidence, a young police officer asked the senior police officer who was leading the team, why was the snow leopard allowed to come down the mountain and get close to humans even though it had eaten a human?

"First, it is not certain whether the deceased was killed by this snow leopard. Second, this snow leopard did not intrude into human territory to hurt people, but humans intruded into its territory. Another thing is, you don't think that Mr. Chen, who is a veterinarian and animal protection, would think of this. Being able to get close to the snow leopard means that he believes that the beast that committed the crime was not this snow leopard."

In fact, the experienced police officer had deduced from the torn backpack that the deceased might have encountered a brown bear.

We can only know the exact situation after sending these back for forensic examination.

"Master, there is also a certificate and a medical diagnosis in this bag."

The police officer who was sorting out the remains carefully took out a rubber notebook and two folded papers from the compartment of the backpack.

The backpack was stuck in the crevice, with rocks covering it, and the backpack had a waterproof layer in the interlayer, so the document was preserved intact.

It will be easy if you find the ID of the deceased. You can check the identity of the deceased directly through the police communication background.

However, the results of the inquiry left all four police officers silent.

Yin Li came to bring them dinner and saw that the four of them were in a bad mood.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about the snow leopard? It's okay, Brother Ying can control it."

"No, Stationmaster Yin, we have found the identity of the deceased. He... is an orphan and suffers from a terminal illness."

Yin Li pursed his lips and said nothing.

Now we can understand that the deceased must have realized that he didn't have much time left and deliberately entered the no-man's land.

"Master, I checked and found that this person is a student of folklore."

An idea suddenly flashed through Yin Li’s mind.

"Police comrades, do you think that those two children who ran away from home were influenced by him? Should we check whether this person has been to the herdsmen's village?"

This is also an idea. The leading forest police immediately contacted the police station and asked his colleagues to assist in the investigation.

Back in the tent, Yin Li informed Chen Ying of the situation.

"I think if he really went to the herdsman village, did the two children go to the snowy mountains to find the gods, or go into the wilderness to find him?"

"Let's analyze it."

Chen Ying scratched his head. "The two kids were actually quite well prepared. Of course, they were well prepared under the conditions they had access to. But if they didn't actually want to go to the highest snow mountain, but wanted to find this lonely traveler..."

Chen Ying took out his tablet and clicked on the saved map photo.

"Enter from here and follow the foot of the mountain. The supplies they brought should be enough for us to get here."

"Also, I heard from the elders in Uncle Zhaxi's pastoral area that the incarnation of the Snow Mountain Goddess in the world is the snow leopard. Could it be that this man is here to look for the snow leopard?"

"Is he looking for a snow leopard?"

The two men said in unison, and simultaneously turned their eyes to the leopard who was still trying to tear the beef jerky.
