Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 538: Xiao Lin, is there something wrong with your brain?

It is clear from its size and fur color that this is a strong adult Eurasian lynx.

Mike has seen many lynxes, but this is the first one that can show so much eye drama.

"When did it come?" Mike tilted his head, looking at the wild big cat in fascination.

"I don't know. I hadn't seen it before. When you were getting ready to run, I looked up and saw it." Chen Ying took a small step back, quickly took out his cell phone, took a picture using the microphone as a reference, and then took seven or eight pictures in succession.

Alerted by his actions, Mike also pulled out his phone and took a few photos and a video.

Mike even imitated the photo poses of internet celebrities and took a photo of himself petting a cat.

Chen Ying didn't want to take pictures, but Mike forced her to do so, saying that if she missed this time there would be no next time.

What he actually wanted to say was that he could not only pet cats at will, but also sleep in the same bed with big cats! Fearing that it would be too discouraging for Mike, Chen Ying resisted the urge to show off and took two random photos.

As a result, before he finished filming, he saw Mike's frightened expression and told him to run away.

I subconsciously dodged and saw a furry creature appear where I was standing.

"Run!" Mike ran back a few steps and found that Chen Ying didn't move at all.

Not only did he not move, he even squatted down and scratched the lynx's chin.

Mike felt like his jaw was about to drop, his throat gurgled a few times, and he couldn't utter a complete syllable.

"You came to see me? What's the matter?"

The lynx made two low "gurgling" sounds and then pushed Chen Ying's hand away.

"I've heard of your name." This was a shocking statement. "My brothers in the north told me. They said you could help me find a wife, right?"

Chen Ying was silent. "Don't tell me you still can't find a wife?"

He is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Who told you that I can't find a wife?" The lynx roared angrily, but in reality it was just a short "aww", which was powerful but not loud enough.

"Am I a wimp who can't find a wife? I just have high standards."

Chen Ying could tell from the lynx's short cries that it was angry and humiliated.

To be honest, this lynx is in its prime, both in appearance and age. Chen Ying was just teasing that it couldn't find a wife, but now it seems as if he had hit the nail on the head?

After asking some questions, Chen Ying finally understood why this lynx was still single and still needed humans' help to find a partner.

A face lover, no, a face cat!
He thought that Mundun'er was already attractive enough for looks, but compared to this brother, Mundun'er was just a little sister!
Don’t buy those with ugly fur color, ugly body shape, poor hunting ability, or those that are not pleasing to the eye.

Chen Ying was amused. You deserve to be alone. You are so demanding. Even if a lover is specially made for you, he may not be to your liking.

The big lynx glanced at the man who was eager to come over and touch it, then raised its paw and patted Chen Ying's calf.

"Come on, stay away from that two-legged beast. It's too much of an eyesore."

Chen Ying looked at Mike with a strange look, then looked at the lynx. He felt like complaining but didn't know how to start.

Mike is not actually ugly, although he is a bit hairy, but European men seem to have this problem. But Mike is very good at taking care of himself, if nothing else, the word "handsome" is definitely not inappropriate for him.

Chen Ying always felt that this lynx's aesthetic taste might be a little beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Maybe the lynx's expression was too obscene, even Mike noticed something. He squinted at it, then looked at Chen Ying, and tilted his head slightly.

Chen Ying shook his head gently at him, then followed the lynx to the other side, half squatted, and stared into the lynx's eyes.

Mike's mood at this moment is simply indescribable.

There have been legends about Chen Ying in the circle in recent years, but most people treat it as a joke, and some people say that it is a character that Chen Ying created for himself, just to force himself into their circle.

The person who said this is very capable, and he may be suffering from a sour grapes mentality.

Mike looked down on those who talked behind others' backs. After all, someone's academic ability could be seen from their papers and experiments, unless he could bribe other people or his tutors to help him put on a show.

If he were a local, he might be able to use some connections to help him, but for a foreigner, he has to let the entire research institute help him put on a show. Which country's prince do you think he is?

It's OK if he has real kung fu, even if he creates a persona for himself. Didn't you see someone from a certain marine research institute who said he was a descendant of Poseidon? In this society, you can't get ahead without being crazy.

Before this, Mike's psychological activities were like this.

But now, he felt that maybe the character of "Druid" was not really something Chen Ying came up with himself. The lynx was howling as if it was talking to Chen Ying, and was particularly wary of him!
"You said you had your eyes on a lynx, but it was hiding from you?"

Chen Ying was extremely curious. How could such a picky person like her still be able to catch up with her? Whoever it was, he would definitely give her ten kilograms of meat as a token of consolation.

The guy described for a long time, and Chen Ying became more and more confused. Finally, he decided to wait until evening and follow this guy to see his beloved cat.

Now that they have found this Eurasian lynx, Chen Ying and the others have no intention of going any further up, because this guy said that the area above is its territory, and the area below is the territories of the other two lynxes, one of which is the one it has its eyes on.

Chen Ying vaguely felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what it was.

When Mike heard that the lynx wanted to follow them, his face turned into a rotten orange with laughter.

This big man was very smart. He was full of doubts but didn't ask a single question. He believed what Chen Ying said.

They didn't go up, but they had to explore to both sides. After all, their main target was the Iberian lynx, and with the help of the Eurasian lynx, tracking the other beast would become much easier.

Two people and a lynx were walking on the mountain road. The surrounding scenery was pleasant, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it.

The route taken by this lynx is simply not for humans to walk on, but along the way, they did collect several biological samples of Iberian lynx.

"Well, there's a rabbit in front, do you want to eat it?"

"Thank you, but no, you go and eat." Chen Ying held onto a tree trunk beside him and took a breath. The terrain here was good, so he and Mike could stop and have lunch.

It was lunch time, but it was almost 2pm. This is usually the time for big cats to take a nap, but this Eurasian lynx was still very energetic and took them hiking. It was really unique.

Back in Jiamugou, at this time, the energetic Jinya would find a place to take a nap, not to mention the other cats, who could only listen to the snoring.

An hour later, the well-fed Eurasian lynx came back and urged Chen Ying and the others to hurry up. "Hurry up, it's a short distance and it will take a long time to walk. Don't delay me from watching my girlfriend tonight."

This lynx is really a bit crazy. If someone recognizes you, then you are their partner? Didn’t you ask me to introduce you to someone before?
The Eurasian lynx sneered and glared at Chen Ying. "What if it doesn't agree? Then you will have to help me find it, right?"

Chen Ying was too lazy to say anything more to it. Instead of wasting energy on complaining, it would be better to save it and climb a few more steps up the mountain.

After going around and roughly determining the lynx's activity preferences, Chen Ying and Mike decided to go back today. These data need to be integrated and submitted, and there are still things to be done about releasing them. After the release, there will be a special team here to monitor the activities of the Iberian lynx.

When they returned to the camp, Daniel and Judy had already gone back, and both looked unhappy.

"We found this in the mountains." An iron hunting snare was discarded next to the camp. "In addition to this, we also found two mountain goat skeletons in a ravine. One of them had a snare on its hind leg, and the other was obviously a cub. It is estimated that after the mother died, the cub refused to leave, or it was not able to live on its own, so it died there with its mother."

Mike and Chen Ying squatted down and took a look at the hunting trap with very ugly expressions.

"These damn dogs must have heard that there is a lynx here, so they set a trap here."

"Not necessarily." Chen Ying disagreed with him. "Looking at the pattern of this trap, it should be intended to trap animals like bison or mountain goats."

In fact, it has been better in recent years. European countries have also imposed heavy penalties on poachers, and if they are caught, they will definitely not escape. But the biggest problem is that the European network is not as complete as that in China, and there are still many private territories. If they are not caught in the act, they cannot be convicted.

"Forget it, how did you guys harvest?"

Judy suppressed her anger and changed the subject.

"Hey, you don't know what we've been into." Mike also understood what Judy meant and deliberately made an exaggerated expression.

"What did you encounter? A wild boar or a wild bull?"

"Neither, you will never guess!" Mike took out his cell phone and showed it to his companions, "Look, isn't this guy handsome?"

"Oh my God, it's really a Eurasian lynx!" Judy opened her mouth wide, looked at Mike, and then turned her gaze to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying put his hands in his pockets and shrugged with a smile on his face.

"Let me see, let me see. Perfect, this lynx is really the most beautiful lynx I have ever seen!"

Daniel also came over, and his eyes became red after seeing Mike and Chen Ying taking photos with the lynx.

"Don't worry guys, you'll get a chance to see it too. Trust me, it won't be long before you see it."

Daniel and Judy looked at each other, then at Chen Ying, "Don't tell us that this lynx is nearby?"

"Hahaha, you really can't hide anything from me." Mike patted Chen Ying's shoulder, "Chen, how about asking our lynx friend to come out and show them?"

Chen Ying spread his hands, "Maybe not now, let's wait a little longer, maybe it will come over when it gets dark. After all, I promised it that I would go see its beloved cat."

Daniel frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mike.

"Well, let's get some food first, and then we'll go together in the evening."

Time passed quickly, night fell, and the moon was high in the sky.

The light on the hillside was not particularly good, but the surrounding outlines could be seen under the moonlight.

The four of them ambushed on the high ground of the watering hole one step ahead.

All four of them were engaged in field research and were very experienced. In addition, they had no murderous intent towards animals, so if they kept quiet, they would not be easily discovered.

The place where Chen Ying was lying was not facing the water source. He put on a mask and covered his head with a straw hat woven with leaves and vines. Only through the night vision telescope could one see that there was a person hiding here.

About half an hour later, a figure emerged from the bushes.

The four of them were startled as the target appeared.

This is an Iberian lynx with typical characteristics, but its fur color is much lighter than that of Madil, almost gray-brown, or a relatively light brown, and the markings on its body are not very obvious.

When it reached the water, it did not rush to drink. Instead, it looked around vigilantly for several minutes before quickly licking the water near the edge.

Chen Ying looked up with a sense of something, and sure enough, there was a night hunter on the stone wall next to him.

The lynx drinking water seemed to have noticed the arrival of the Eurasian lynx and turned around to spray air at it.

However, what this lynx expressed surprised Chen Ying.

He almost couldn't help but spit out a sound, and his eyes looked at the Eurasian lynx diagonally above him with a hint of complexity.

"Ah, ah, ah." After the Iberian lynx called out briefly a few times, it quickly dived into the bushes and disappeared.

After it left, the Eurasian lynx jumped down from the cliff, lowered its head and took a few big gulps of water at the place where the previous lynx had drunk water.

Chen Ying stood up and gestured to Mike and the others to go back. Mike quickly stood up and walked back.

But Daniel and Judy wanted to stay and observe what the Eurasian lynx would do next.

Seeing that the two of them were not leaving, Chen Ying didn't bother to say anything more. He said hello to the Eurasian lynx and prepared to leave.

After drinking the water, the lynx ran over to rub against Chen Ying and asked if his girlfriend was beautiful.

Chen Ying tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it and slapped it hard on the head.

"What's wrong with you? This is an Iberian lynx, not the same subspecies as you, and your body shapes are too different. Besides, that lynx is a male, the same gender as you. Can you have cubs if you marry it?"

Mike wanted to get closer to Chen Ying to ask something, but when he got closer, he heard Chen Ying whisper a few words. He didn't understand Chinese very well, but he understood the word "male".

It was because he understood, and he also knew that he came here tonight to see the lynx’s beloved cat, so... Oh my God, this lynx actually fell in love with someone of the same sex?
In fact, this kind of behavior is not uncommon in nature, especially in some marine animals. But it is rare in land animals, and male animals instinctively want to pass on their bloodline genes, so...was this lynx driven out of the population because of its poor brain?
This Eurasian lynx, which was labeled as "not very smart", did not have this kind of self-awareness. It spoke to Chen Ying very naturally, "Impossible, it is definitely not a male. There are no such weak males. I can kill two with one claw! If it is a male, I am a female!"

Help, could he get an animal psychologist to fix this stupid lynx's brain?

Before Chen Ying could say anything, the lynx chased him and asked, "So do you have a way to make it accept me? I'm strong and it's pretty, our cub will definitely be the best!"

The Eurasian lynx was anxiously digging at Chen Ying's shoes, and it almost wished that Chen Ying would pack up the beautiful lynx and put it in front of it immediately.
