Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 576 Dad and the monster fight
On the slope to the north of Laoxionggou, more than 20 tufted deer gathered. Two male deer stood on a high place, watching the surroundings vigilantly. The female deer took their fawns to feed and enjoyed the warmth brought by the sun on their backs.

The fawns are already two-thirds as tall as their mother, and their slender leg bones are gradually being wrapped by firm muscles. If they are still alive by next spring, they will be the new force in the tufted deer population.

At this time, a young male tufted deer was not yet an adult, but already had the demeanor of a father. He lowered his head to eat a few bites, then raised his head and looked around vigilantly.

There was a female deer next to it, looking at the male tufted deer with a hint of pride.

Jin Yazai and his friends' target is this young tufted deer. The other young deer are too small and not challenging, while the adult deer are too difficult for them.

The sun was very strong these two days and there was no snow. Jin Yazi walked in the grass and felt the dry grass slightly tickling the soles of his feet. Well, the trees were more suitable for his feet to move.

But it doesn’t matter, the brave Jin Yazai can overcome this little problem!
Jin Yazi unconsciously clenched his paws, just like a human baby would clench his toes when the soles of his feet are tickled.

It imitated the movements that its mother had taught its two brothers, pressing its body against the shadow of the rock. The patterns and colors on its body blended perfectly with the shadows of the trees under the winter sun. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that there was a small beast hiding in the dark, waiting for its chance to strike.

Although the golden cat does not have the ear tufts of a lynx to sense movement, it has the unique ability of a golden cat to sense movement through its whiskers. As it patiently sensed, the young male tufted deer was slowly moving in its direction.

At this time, the two brothers Qiu Da and Qiu Xiao also lurked at the designated position.

Da Qiu was crawling in the dry grass upwind, using the thick hair on the elbows of his forelimbs to cushion his body weight, ready to leap out and ambush the stag at any time.

Xiaoqiu went around the flank to the rear of the deer herd, preparing to cut off their retreat.

There was a big tree next to the rock. Jin Yazi quietly climbed up the tree along the rock wall. His movements were so silent that even the leaves were not disturbed.

After all, Jin Yazi's body shape is more like a golden cat, and an ambush starting from a tree will definitely be more effective than a ground attack.

The young tufted deer's target was the tender leaves of the bushes beneath the big tree where Jin Yacui was.

This winter has been hot and cold, and the growth of grass and trees has been like a twitch. While their leaves are turning yellow and falling off, they are also trying hard to grow new shoots.

Seeing that the distance between the tufted deer and the herd was slightly widened, Jin Yazai moved his tail slightly, jumped directly from the tree, and bit the throat of the young tufted deer.

At the same time, Da Qiu also jumped out from the side, pressed the back of the deer's neck accurately with his front paws, opened his mouth and bit the back of the tufted deer's neck.

Its appearance frightened the female deer that had originally intended to rescue her child and made her take a step back. At this time, Xiaoqiu, who was responsible for scaring away the other deer, also jumped out and pretended to bite another young deer.

The stag gave a warning cry, and after hesitating for a moment, it decisively led the herd of deer away from the slope by the water.

Only one beast could still struggle, and now there are three... the lives of the deer are also lives!

The underage deer, which was bitten by Jin Yazai and Daqiu one after the other, struggled in panic. At this time, Xiaoqiu, who had already driven away the herd of deer, also rushed over and bit the underage deer's hind leg muscles.

Jin Yazai truly combined the precise bite of a golden cat and the suppression skills of a lynx. With the assistance of the elder and younger Qiu brothers, the underage deer quickly lost its ability to move.

Jin Yazai's fangs inflicted a penetrating wound on the juvenile deer's neck, while Daqiu kept biting the back of its neck and cervical vertebrae until the prey died completely.

The whole process lasted less than half a minute, and the three of them had successfully hunted for today's food.

At the top of the hill not far away, a mother deer looked at her child lying motionless on the grass and neighed sadly, but the herd of deer had already left.

The doe followed the herd for a few steps, then stopped and looked back. The urging neighing of the herd mixed with its wailing and finally dissipated in the valley.

Jin Yazi let go, took a step back, and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

It was the first time it hunted such a large prey, and its movements were a bit too rough. Now it could feel some discomfort in its mouth. It kept licking the area around its mouth with its tongue, and occasionally opened its mouth to loosen its teeth.

Da Qiu came over and licked its facial hair with his tongue, a little worried, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"

Jin Yazi shook his head and said, "No, maybe I'm not used to using so much force, my cheeks are a little sore."

Da Qiu stared at it with his big amber eyes for a long time, and finally lowered his head to tear open the deerskin, allowing his sister to eat the tenderest meat.

Xiao Qiu took a look at the two of them, rudely tore open the skin on their legs, and started showing off his food.

It doesn't like to use its brain, so it just knows that its sister is fine. It should eat a few more bites now. It needs to grow up quickly and at least be as strong as its brother. Otherwise, it will be difficult for it to get enough to eat when it lives independently next year.

Generally speaking, male lynx cubs from the same litter do not separate immediately when they become independent. Usually, after leaving their mother, the brothers live in alliance for a while. When their hunting skills become more proficient and there are more prey in summer, they will separate to find their own territory.

After making sure that Jin Yazi was fine and letting it eat a few bites of the tender meat, Da Qiu began to wolf it down.

An underage tufted deer weighs only about 20 kilograms including skin and bones. The three little ones finished just enough, leaving them feeling a little reluctant to finish.

The remaining indigestible fur and bones are simply left where they are, and nature's scavengers will come to take care of them.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the three of them went to play by the water for a while. Jin Yazi suddenly looked up at the top of the mountain.

"Brother, what do you think the mountains are like? Is it the same as where we are now? Mom said that I have an aunt who used to live in the mountains. It's very cold there, but lynx likes it very much."

Jin Yazi squatted down obediently, tilting his head slightly, "But Dad said it's very cold there, and it's not suitable for us golden cats to live. But I'm not a golden cat, I want to go and take a look!"

You see, this is the trouble with mixed-bloods. You won’t know whether it’s possible until you go there.

In fact, the golden cat's activity range has expanded a lot in recent years. To put it another way, the previous life-forbidden zone is not so dangerous now, so golden cats can also be seen at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.

The highest point of Jiamugou Snow Mountain is over 5,000 meters, but the area where local snow leopards move around is usually only around 4,000 to 4,500 meters. Theoretically, Jin Yacub could take a stroll there without feeling too much discomfort.

It would not work if they just went up rashly like that, they would definitely get beaten.

We have to talk to Aunt Leopard about this first, and let Aunt Leopard talk to Mom, and then Mom will accompany them upstairs.

Jin Yazai is a very sensible and well-behaved child, and will never run away from home!

The next morning, the cold mountain wind mixed with winter frost caused the temperature to drop sharply. The three little ones lay under the cracks of the rocks, shivering in the cold wind.

Xiaoqiu and her brother sandwiched Jin Yazai in the middle, and Maomao had a little bit of worry on his face.

You agreed to follow the rules and not run around, so leaving half a rabbit behind is considered a greeting?
Jin Yazi snorted twice, "I'm not running around. Didn't you hear what Grandpa the Two-legged Beast said? Something happened to the Two-legged Beasts who were collecting something on the mountain. We're going to help!"

As the three little ones huddled together in a ball on the cold morning, their so-called two-legged grandfather was frowning at the half-rabbit at the door of his room.

"Jin Yazi dropped this here? What does it mean? It's not coming back today?"

Jin Ya stretched out her paw, trying to hook the rabbit over and eat it, but Chen Ying grabbed her paw.

"Don't be impatient. This little thing never wastes food. It just throws it here without any reason. What on earth does it want to say?"

Sister Leopard stretched lazily on the platform. "Why think so much? Why don't you just go and ask them?"

It moved its body a few times, and suddenly looked around, "Where's Xiao Jin? Did it follow the cubs quietly?"

If we were to ask who dotes on Jin Yazi the most, it would definitely be Xiao Jin. As long as he is not at the emergency station, he will definitely stay by his daughter's side to protect him.

Just as Sister Leopard was about to leave to look for Jin Yazi, Brother Leopard suddenly spoke up, "Today I saw the cubs playing around downstairs. At that time, you, the Two-legged Beast, were talking to someone, saying that someone had an accident on the mountain. I saw that the cubs seemed very curious. Could they have gone to watch the fun?"

After all, he has spent a long time with humans. Although Brother Leopard doesn't talk much, his observation skills are definitely not weak.

But even it couldn't figure out what the meaning of throwing a half-rabbit in front of the two-legged beast's door was.

The brain structure of today's young animals may be different from that of these middle-aged and elderly animals.

Chen Ying thought about what she had said to Yin Li on the phone today. There was indeed a case of someone in danger on the mountain, but it was not from their area. It was a technician from the neighboring area who was taking a new technician to the mountain to familiarize themselves with the roads and environment. As a result, the newcomer accidentally slipped into the ravine and injured his leg. There happened to be two mountain patrol teams working nearby, and they went over to help after receiving the notice.

Yin Li told Chen Ying about this because he wanted him to be more careful when he went out. However, those three little guys didn't listen to him and actually dared to rush directly up the mountain?
Seeing that Sister Bao, Brother Bao and Jin Ya had all set off, Chen Ying was not too worried.

Just like Sister Bao said, in this kind of weather, if Xiao Jin is not at the station looking after Jin Ya, he must be outside looking after his daughter. With him around, the danger should not be great.

Seeing other animals running up the mountain, Bai Bingyang tried to follow them stealthily, but was grabbed by Chen Ying by the neck.

"Don't go. You don't know how to do anything. Don't let Sister Leopard and the others rescue you. Look at the fat on your body. You have been losing weight for so many days, but why don't you see any less? Did you go out and eat something secretly?"

Bai Bingyang made a whining sound, covered his mouth with his paws, and lay on the ground. His small eyes looked at Chen Ying furtively, and the words "the more you try to cover up, the more obvious it becomes" were literally engraved on his forehead.

Looking at Bai Bingyang's expression, it was clear that he had stolen the food, but could his impressive hunting skills satisfy his stomach? The leopard sisters in the station would definitely not feed Bai Bingyang, so how could other animals dare to feed Bai Bingyang without being discovered by the leopard sisters?
Chen Ying was amazed. Since he couldn't get any results by interrogating Bai Bingyang, he decisively installed a camera on Bai Bingyang's cage. Taking advantage of the fact that Bai Bingyang didn't know what a recorder was, he directly placed a small recorder on Bai Bingyang's collar, trying to see if he could pick up some sound when Bai Bingyang went out to steal food.

The next morning, Chen Ying was changing the treatment plan for the mother lynx when she received a call from the neighboring management bureau, saying that their equipment maintenance personnel found two little lynxes and a cub suspected to be a golden cat in a small house at the base station on the hillside of the snow-capped mountain. Because the three of them were wearing the signs of the Jiamugou Management Station, the other party did not go over to disturb the three little ones, but only took a video to inquire about the situation.

Chen Ying was so scared when she heard the news that her hands were shaking. Weren't the three little ones planning to go to the mountain to play? Why did they run to the next mountain? And with Jin Yazi's identity, if someone with bad intentions stole it, it would be fine. But she was afraid that they would kill it and take the sample away. She wouldn't be able to cry at that time.

Originally, Sanxiao was only wearing a satellite collar, but Jin Yazai felt that the collar was very uncomfortable and always liked to bite it. It couldn't bite it off by itself, so it asked Xiaoqiu and Daqiu to help it. In one month, it bit off three collars. There was no choice but to replace it with a thin leather rope with a sign of the Jiamugou Management Station, which had the number and contact number written on it.

Dao Meihua also contacted someone to order a batch of micro positioning chips. The products were still on the way when the three little ones did this.

The man hadn't finished his call when he heard other people talking nearby.

"Doctor Chen, the team members just said they spotted two leopards and a lynx approaching. Is that Sister Leopard and the others?"

Everyone knows quite a lot about the animals in Jiamugou, but it is still quite difficult for them to distinguish them with the naked eye. This combination is rare, so the captain was able to guess the identities of the three big cats.

"Yes, Captain Yang, you don't have to worry about them. Sister Leopard and the others are here to look for the little ones. Just let them leave on their own."

Captain Yang simply switched to the video call mode, allowing Chen Ying to see Sister Leopard and the others’ actions with her own eyes.

Sister Leopard did not approach the base station rashly. She walked back and forth at a distance. After confirming that the humans on the other side would not interfere with their actions, she jumped into the yard of the base station and found the three little ones in a miserable state under the firewood rack in the corner.

Raising a cub is not easy, Leopard sister sighsε=(ο｀*)))Alas

"Come on, let's leave here first."

The three little ones looked at each other, followed Sister Leopard dejectedly, used things in the yard as stepping stones, and jumped out of the wall with difficulty.

Jin Ya was guarding under the wall and saw her daughter sticking her little head out and howling in anger.

Brother Leopard walked over slowly, flicked his tail, and stopped Jin Ya.

"Don't worry, ask where Xiao Jin has gone."

Maybe because they are both males, Brother Leopard and Xiao Jin have a deep friendship. They didn't find any trace of Xiao Jin on the way here. Sister Leopard and Jin Ya didn't think much about it, but Brother Leopard began to speculate whether Xiao Jin was in danger. Otherwise, with his love for Jin Ya's cubs, he would never have let the three little ones run so far.

After hearing Uncle Leopard's words, Jin Yazai, who was lying on the wall, could no longer hold back her tears of fear.

"Mom, mom, Dad encountered a big monster. In order to protect us, he fought with the monster!"

Monster? Is there any other beast in Jiamugou that Jin Yazi hasn't seen?

Sister Leopard came to the wall and let the three cubs jump onto it. After the cubs landed safely, Sister Leopard asked them with a serious face where Dad Xiao Jin encountered the monster.

Da Qiu stood in front of Jin Yazi and bravely met Sister Bao's gaze.
"Auntie, I, I can find that place!"

After saying that, Da Qiu took the lead and ran towards the shade of the mountain. After running for a while, he stopped to carefully sniff the weeds on the roadside.

Jin Ya lowered her head and sniffed in confusion. Hiss, there was a smell of urine from a cub, and it was blowing in the wind for 800 miles!
