Chapter 282 Red Panda

Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen turned their heads at the same time. Before they could speak, Gu Ming rushed out like an arrow ready to be released.

Immediately afterwards, a delicate chirping sound came from the slightly swaying grass.

"Ah-ah-"

The grass, which was about waist-high, swayed rapidly for a moment, and then Gu Ming's figure reappeared in their sight.

Gu Ming's expressionless face showed a slight raise of his eyebrows, almost revealing a hint of a smile.

Before they could ask, Gu Ming slightly raised his right hand, revealing the little guy he was holding in his palm.

The little guy was covered in reddish-brown fur, with only a few white furs on his round little face, around his ears, eye sockets, and nose.

Its thick, long tail swayed back and forth as it dragged along its body.

It was clear the little guy was really struggling, but unfortunately...

Lin Xiao finally managed to find the animal's trail, and a faint smile finally appeared on her tense expression.

Thankfully, the animals here haven't gone extinct...

Thankfully, the little ones just hid.

Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen walked over and went to check. Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile.

"This is a red panda from Gongbei Mountain."

Red panda?
The name lingered on his lips, but Gu Ming couldn't help but ask it out.

"Is he related to the national treasure?"

Lin Xiao had just taken the little one into her arms and was gently comforting him when she heard this sentence.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"The two do look similar, are real animals, and have developed in some ways, but the country has conducted genetic testing on them, and it has been proven that the red panda and the giant panda are not related."

"Humph!"

Hearing their words, the little panda being held in their arms let out a cold snort in anger.

It even bared its teeth and roared angrily at Gu Ming.

It was as if, if he could get down on the ground now, he would rush up without hesitation and bite down.

Lin Xiao helplessly pulled the little guy into her arms and gently comforted him.

"We mean you no harm, we just have some questions we'd like to ask you."

"Humph!"

The little guy quickly turned his head away, pretending to ignore everyone.

The next second, he suddenly froze, his wide eyes wide as he turned around.

How could this person have spoken to her earlier?!
Seeing that he had finally come to his senses, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile and greet him.

"hello?"

The little guy's gaze lingered between the three of them with great restraint, finally settling on Lin Xiao's face.

His eyes were very wary, and the little guy looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Speaking of red pandas, they are round and small, and they waddle when they walk, making them look adorable.

In a true comparison, the red panda has more characteristics of both cats and bears than the giant panda.

Looking at the brat's bluffing appearance, Gu Ming curled his lips in disgust.

They put on quite a convincing act, but...

He bent down and picked up all the bamboo leaves that the little guy had bitten in his mouth, and handed them to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile when she saw the bamboo, and immediately took it and handed it to the little panda.

The red panda looked left and right, hesitated for a while, but couldn't resist. It raised its little paw, took the food, and put it in its mouth quite naturally.

He nestled in Lin Xiao's arms and found a comfortable spot, lying sprawled out, unceremoniously exposing his dark belly.

Between his two hind legs, his thick tail swayed back and forth, looking incredibly comfortable. Seeing him in such an enjoyable posture, Lu Chengshen curled his lips in slight disgust.

"This guy's had his fun, now he should answer our questions, right?"

As he spoke, he instinctively raised his hand to rub the little one's belly, but before he could even touch it...

The little panda, who had been enjoying itself, suddenly seemed to spot a terrifying predator and in the blink of an eye, it climbed from Lin Xiao's arms onto the back of her neck.

A moment later, a small, round head, full of vigilance, quietly peeked out from beside Lin Xiao's head.

Her small eyes, filled with vigilance, were fixed on the man in front of her.

Having spent so much time together, Lu Chengshen had almost forgotten his own situation.

He looked at his palm hanging in mid-air and could only let out a regretful sigh.

The little guy's reddish-brown fur stood on end, looking soft and very cuddly.

Unfortunately……

Thinking of how quickly the little guy dodged him just now, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Suddenly, he even missed the days when the little Pallas's cat was around.

At the very least, the little guy wouldn't mind being touched and hugged.

Lin Xiao reluctantly pulled the little panda off her neck, her voice filled with helplessness.

Why are you running? He's not going to eat you.

"But he's really scary..."

The little guy lay motionless in Lin Xiao's hands, his tone extremely sincere.

After thinking for a moment, he even added a sentence...

"It's even more terrifying than them eating my mink."

Hearing this comment, Lin Xiao twitched her lips speechlessly.

I thought to myself, "Of course!"
After all... even your natural enemies like snow leopards don't dare to provoke him, so isn't it normal for you to be afraid?
Lin Xiao patted the little guy's head before asking the question they were about to ask.

"Where are the small animals in the mountains? We came up from the foot of the mountain hoping to find one to ask about the situation, but we haven't encountered a single one."

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this, the red panda immediately perked up.

He nimbly jumped out of Lin Xiao's arms and stood upright on his two hind legs.

"I saw so many animals had run up to the mountainside."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's expression immediately turned serious.

"Do you know why they moved?"

"I heard from them that a group of people came down from the foot of the mountain. They were carrying guns and nets and such, and they found a lot of small animals."

"Later, there was no other way but for the creatures at the bottom of the mountain to slowly move up to the middle of the mountain."

"However, later, the mountainside was also attacked by that group of people, but they couldn't adapt to the temperature on the mountain, so they could only sneak around and hide in some small corners."

The little guy stood with his hands on his hips and his legs straight, and with that confident and talkative manner, he really looked like a little adult.

Lin Xiao chuckled and reached out to flick the little guy's head.

"And what about you? How did you end up here?"

Almost instantly, the little panda was knocked off balance by her gentle poke and fell to the ground.

The little guy sullenly looked up, glared at Lin Xiao with great disdain, but said something quite smug.

"Me? I'm here to keep an eye on you humans."

"You are especially forbidden from going up the mountain, so as not to disturb our lives."

The red panda spoke with righteous indignation, but at that moment, he was holding bamboo in his hand and biting bamboo in his mouth, which inexplicably made his words seem less credible...
