Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 110 I got to pet a big cat!
At the entrance to the camp, the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Sen braced himself on his knees, his chest heaving violently, each breath a wheezing sound like a bellows, his face flushed red from the intense running and altitude sickness.

He recounted his harrowing experience breathlessly.

When they heard that the corrupted Asian golden cat not only showed up on its own initiative but also paid special attention to Chen Nian, and that Chen Nian had no choice but to stay behind alone to face the golden cat and ask Lin Sen to rush back for backup, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"It shouldn't be!"

The old professor in the team, who was an expert in animal behavior, frowned deeply.

"Wild animals, especially cautious felines, avoid humans like the plague! Why would they actively track someone, and specifically target Professor Chen? This...this completely defies the common sense of animal behavior!"

“Teacher Chen said…” Lin Sen finally caught his breath, clutching his aching chest, and explained with difficulty, “It might be due to individual differences. Some wild cats have never seen humans before, and their natural stress response to humans is zero.”

The strenuous exercise he had just undergone felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his chest.

"All right!"

Infinite Quantity interrupted with a frown, his voice carrying an undeniable sense of urgency.

"Now is not the time to discuss academic matters; the most urgent matter is Chen Nian's safety!"

He instinctively picked up the walkie-talkie, his knuckles turning white, but remembering the enormous risks that Chen Nian and Lin Sen had repeatedly emphasized, he reluctantly put it down.

Can't take any chances!

His sharp gaze swept over Lin Qidong: "Old Lin, grab your gear! Pick a few men and come with me right now!"

"Understood!" Lin Qidong turned and rushed into the tent without the slightest hesitation.

Then, Infinite Quantity selected two more middle-aged male team members from among the remaining people to go and rescue Chen Nian.

"I also need to go!"

Xia Qiyue stepped forward, her gaze firm yet anxious: "We are a team!"

Gu Ying was also with them.

"Take me with you; I have a lot of experience dealing with this kind of situation."

The two spoke with absolute certainty.

The infinitesimal looked at them and nodded decisively.

"Okay, let's do it together."

As Xia Qiyue said, they are a team.

As for the others, forget about them.

Too many people going is also not good; it will only make things more chaotic!

Soon, Lin Qidong returned with the equipment: "Brother Liang, let's go!"

"I'll lead the way!"

Lin Sen suppressed the discomfort in his chest and went to the front of the line: "Brother Nian stayed behind to cover my retreat, I have to go and bring him back."

The infinitesimal remained silent.

He reached out and pressed hard on his slightly trembling shoulder, everything was understood without words.

Before leaving, he turned to the remaining crew and instructed them: "Filming is suspended! Everyone stay in the core area of ​​the camp and do not wander off! Wait for us to return!"

Then, at a command, the rescue team, led by Lin Sen, plunged into the increasingly dim forest.

The leaves brushed against my clothes, making a soft rustling sound.

"."

Xia Qiyue pressed her lips together and rushed to the front without saying a word. Her eyes, which were always smiling, were now filled with anxiety and self-blame.

"Chen Nian, you absolutely can't get hurt!"

Xia Qiyue prayed silently.

No one else spoke.

After all, the incident happened too suddenly. No one expected that the Asian golden cat, which Chen Nian described as 'shy and timid,' would actively follow humans and even keep Chen Nian there, not letting her leave.

This series of actions is too abnormal!
As he ran, a vision of Chen Nian's extensive knowledge of felines flashed before his eyes.

He knew that Chen Nian was not the kind of person who would act recklessly or try to be a hero.

Perhaps, that big cat really wasn't hostile!
Otherwise, Chen Nian wouldn't have chosen to let Lin Sen come back first. It would obviously be safer for the two of them to face it together. In addition, Lin Sen's retelling of Chen Nian's words just now gradually calmed down Wuqi Xiaoliang's worried heart.

He keenly sensed the excessive tension and anxiety permeating the ranks.

Chen Nian's current unknown situation is on everyone's mind.

But this kind of emotion is deadly in times of crisis!

"Listen up, everyone!" Infinite Quantity thought for a moment and deliberately raised its voice.

"Once we get closer, no one is allowed to act on their own!"

"Chen Nian specifically instructed that we should make a sound to warn others before getting close. What does this mean? It means that he is confident and the situation is still under his control!"

After saying that, Infinite Quantity looked at the girl who was rushing to the front and wished she could sprout wings and fly to Chen Nian's side immediately, and deliberately reminded her.

"You, Xia Qiyue, are probably the most knowledgeable about felines as he is."

"When has he ever messed up with a feline?" The girl had a noticeable abrasion on her right calf.

I brushed against it when I was rushing over the pile of rocks.

But she seemed oblivious, got up and continued to follow the group, her eyes filled with worry for Chen Nian.

"At times like this, the most important thing we should do is trust him, understand?"

"Believe unconditionally!"

These words were like a gentle breeze, dispelling some of the gloom that had been hanging over everyone's hearts.

"Hmm," Xia Qiyue paused slightly in her running.

She recalled the amazing qualities of Chen Nian.

Even if faced with a completely unfamiliar wild cat, Chen Nian would definitely be fine with her skills!
He always manages to create miracles!
Lin Qidong and Lin Sen nodded in agreement.

If anyone in the team could encounter a wild cat and escape unscathed, it would definitely be Chen Nian!

The trust in Chen Nian eased the tension in everyone's expressions slightly.

The infinitesimal breathed a sigh of relief.

He gestured to Lin Sen: "Are we almost there?"

"Almost there!"

The group continued to traverse the dark woods, and led by Lin Sen, they arrived at a dense thicket in less than five minutes.

"stop!"

Lin Sen's chest heaved violently: "The place where we parted ways is just ahead."

"it is good."

Infinitely small quantity nodded and looked at Lin Qidong.

Lin Qidong understood, immediately took a simple wooden bird whistle from around his neck, brought it to his lips, and took a deep breath—

Xilulu——!
The long, melodious whistle, carrying the scent of the mountains and forests, echoed clearly through the silent woods, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, penetrating through layers of branches and leaves.

At the same time, the other team members held their breath.

He took out his repelling equipment, keeping his eyes fixed on the bushes in front of him, ready to be alert for any Asian golden cat that might suddenly appear.

One second...two seconds...three seconds
The anticipated attack by a wild beast did not occur.

Instead, a familiar electrical sound came from the walkie-talkie on Infinite Small's waist!

sizzle-

The only person who could use the walkie-talkie at this time was obviously Chen Nian, who responded after hearing the whistle!
Chen Nian is alright!

Upon realizing this, almost simultaneously, everyone present breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Lin Sen was so excited that he tried to grab the walkie-talkie to speak, but a hand covered in mud held him down.

It's Xia Qiyue.

"Don't rush!" She lowered her voice, her eyes regaining their usual calm and intelligence. "Chen Nian only activated the walkie-talkie and didn't speak. This means the situation is under his control, but it's not completely out of danger, or he doesn't want to make a sound and alert the golden cat. If we speak rashly now, it might make things worse. I suggest we observe the situation quietly first."

Xia Qiyue made reasonable inferences based on the current situation and her understanding of Chen Nian.

“July is right!” Infinite Quantity immediately agreed: “Let’s go, let’s sneak over and take a look, but we have to be very quiet!”

Everyone nodded silently, reaching a consensus.

Lin Qidong and Gesang led the way, carefully parting the layers of dense shrubs in front of them.

After walking only a dozen or so steps, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

then
When they saw the scene on the open ground not far away, everyone's steps froze in mid-air.

In a patch of dappled light filtered through the tall tree canopy, a few golden Tyndall beams, like spotlights on a stage, pierced through the gaps in the leaves and gently enveloped the center of the clearing.

Under the beam of light.

The person they rushed to rescue—Chen Nian—was kneeling safely on the soft mossy ground.

They were left with only a very calm and composed back view.

The culprit that made them so wary was a blackened Asian golden cat with shoulders nearly half a meter tall and bulging muscles.
It actually lay down on its back in front of Chen Nian without any regard for its image!

Its fluffy, powerful long tail was swishing contentedly!

What's even more outrageous is that, not only did Chen Nian get so close to the wild big cat, she actually touched it!
From the perspective of the people in the bushes.

You can clearly see Chen Nian's slender hand stroking the thick, smooth black fur on the Asian golden cat's chest with perfect naturalness, stroke after stroke!
Her movements were so practiced, it was as if she were giving her own cat a massage!
The golden cat, which was clearly wild, did not resist at all; instead, it let out a series of faint, low growls from its throat!
It doesn't sound like intimidation, but rather enjoyment?!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

"I am not wrong, right?"
