Chapter 126 A Pregnant Leopard? Something's Wrong!
What is a surprise?

This is fucking a surprise!

In the drone's view, the large gray-white cat lying on its side on the huge rock platform was like a silver-gray lightning bolt, instantly striking Xia Qiyue's nerves!
She suddenly covered her mouth, almost bursting into tears on the spot.

found it!
They really found it!
The most mysterious spirit atop this snow-capped mountain!
Inside the live stream, fans started showering the audience with gifts, and sending bullet comments was no longer enough to express their excitement.

A 13-day vigil!

Thirteen days of anxious waiting!

Finally, a miracle occurred!
The official staff who were watching Chen Nian's live stream immediately reported the incident the moment they saw the iconic rose pattern.

what?
You said an outdoor streamer encountered a live snow leopard in the wild?

This unprecedented gimmick instantly prompted the platform to go all out to attract traffic!
Whether you're at work or on the toilet, anyone scrolling through short videos will almost always see Chen Nian's live stream next.

The cover image perfectly captures the snow leopard.

"What the hell?!"

"Wild snow leopard???"

"Are outdoor live streams this extreme these days? You can even spot snow leopards now??"

Whether or not one is interested in felines, at this moment, no one can resist the deadly allure of this apex predator from the roof of the world.

Curiosity spread like wildfire in an instant.

Driven by this, countless fingers clicked down without hesitation!
Instantly, the number of viewers in Chen Nian's live stream began to skyrocket at an alarming rate!

5, 10, 20.
The platform's technical team was on high alert, typing furiously as they worked to expand capacity and divert traffic, barely managing to stabilize the live stream line from the brink of collapse.

The explosive popularity even attracted the pet livestreamers from next door.

"Holy crap! He actually found the snow leopard?!"

"This must be the first time in the entire live streaming industry that someone has encountered a snow leopard while doing an outdoor live stream!"

"Awesome."

"Is this the skill of the 'Number One Cat Identifier on the Entire Internet'? I'm impressed!"

Once upon a time, Chen Nian's sudden emergence made these peers envious and eager.

But looking at the King of the Snow Mountains on the screen, all resentment and jealousy vanished.

All that remains is pure, awe-inspiring respect!
Live stream of a wild snow leopard!

What defines a big shot? This is what a big shot looks like!
Even if you give them Happy Beans, they still can't do it!

These streamers immediately stopped broadcasting.

They immediately started broadcasting Chen Nian's footage.

They don't care if their fans are diverted; in fact, they watch with even more enthusiasm than their fans!

The appearance of the snow leopard instantly ignited the entire live streaming industry!

It has injected a dazzling sun into the previously lifeless live streaming industry!

Inside the recovery tent at the campsite.

"This medicine is so bitter!"

Lin Sen finished his medicine with a embarrassed expression. Just as he was about to open Chen Nian's live stream, he received a push notification from the platform.

The words 'snow leopard' in the content are extremely eye-catching.

He stood there stunned for a full three seconds before his brain struggled to process this explosive information: "Old Chen? Old Chen... found the snow leopard?!"

Overjoyed instantly overshadowed his sickly appearance.

Lin Sen frantically clicked on the link. Although the video was a bit choppy due to the large number of viewers, the enormous, gray-white creature lying on its side on the rock was clearly visible!

Holy crap! It really is a snow leopard!

Lin Sen was so excited he almost jumped out of his sleeping bag. Ignoring his dizziness and weak legs, he scrambled out of the tent, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Brother Liang! Brother Liang!! Old Chen, Old Chen, he spotted a snow leopard! Alive! Watch the live stream!!!"

"???"

The entire camp fell silent for a moment.

The notebook in Infinite Quantity's hand fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

Everyone else, whether they were experts sorting specimens or logistics staff cleaning equipment, all seemed to have been put on pause, turning their heads in unison with disbelief written all over their faces.

Did Chen Nian really find the snow leopard?!

The next second, the entire camp erupted in chaos.

"Quick! Let me see! My phone has no signal, does anyone have one and can take a look at it!"

Lin Sen: "I have it! I have it! My tablet can see it clearly!"

A group of senior professors, who were at least experts, immediately abandoned all pretense of decorum and swarmed around Lin Sen to watch Chen Nian's live stream.

After confirming that it was indeed a snow leopard, the entire camp fell into an eerie silence for a full half minute.

Then, it's time for a celebration!
No one expected that Chen Nian would actually find the snow leopard! The snow mountain ghost that countless people have spent months or even years without ever seeing was found by Chen Nian in just over ten days!

How could this not fill one with ecstasy?!

"Thank God... no, thank the Cat God!"

The infinitesimal grinned, laughing like a child weighing over 100 pounds, completely unaware that its lips were cracked and bleeding.

The appearance of snow leopards.

This means that his documentary project now has truly impactful, core content to back it up.

It's a sure thing that it will become a huge hit!
He gazed toward the snow line, his eyes burning with intensity, as if they could pierce through space and see the young figure lying on the cold hillside, intently controlling the drone.

"Chen Nian, oh Chen Nian," the infinitesimal murmured to itself, its voice filled with emotion and relief.

"You're such a lucky star!"

However, the excitement on Chen Nian's face, who was regarded as a 'lucky star' by her team members, quickly subsided like a receding tide.

Instead, there was an increasingly heavy sense of solemnity.

"Something's wrong."

"Huh?" Xia Qiyue, who was still immersed in the snow leopard's magnificent figure, was startled awake and looked at him blankly: "What's wrong?"

Chen Nian did not answer immediately.

Instead, it carefully controlled the drone, hovering it at a safe distance of about 100 meters diagonally above the snow leopard.

His eyes were fixed on the footage transmitted from the drone.

He said slowly, "Something's wrong with this snow leopard!"

"Logically speaking, the rotor noise of a drone is not small. Even if this snow leopard is sleeping soundly, it should still have some reaction."

"I don't need to elaborate on how wary wild animals are, do I?"

"Moreover, snow leopards are felines!"

"We should be more vigilant!"

A bad feeling rose in Chen Nian's heart.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiyue and the millions of viewers in front of the screen were instantly on edge, and they looked closely.

Indeed, the snow leopard lay there quietly, as if the buzzing sound above its head was just an insignificant whistling wind, and it didn't even bother to twitch its ears.

Xia Qiyue looked at Chen Nian again.

"Should we fly closer and take a look?"

Chen Nian was planning to do just that.

He pursed his lips tightly and maneuvered the drone to close the distance with the snow leopard once again.

200 meters. 150 meters. 100 meters..
The snow leopard, which had been lying on the ground, finally reacted when the drone flew within 50 meters of it.

Its long, fluffy tail tip curled up slightly.

Then he propped his head up and glanced at the drone above him before immediately lying back down.

Seeing this, Xia Qiyue couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't it reacting at all?"

"Could it be that you've seen drones before? Are you used to it?"

Many people in the live stream shared the same guess.

But Chen Nian slowly shook her head.

"Not like."

"It definitely saw the drone just now and reacted similarly, clearly resisting its approach. However, it didn't make any further moves or get up to leave, which gave me the feeling that..."

Recalling the snow leopard's series of actions just now, Chen Nian subconsciously said, "It's like it didn't want to move, but rather it couldn't!"

"It seems that it no longer has the strength to deal with the 'threat' of drones."

The snow leopard may be exhausted or injured!
This speculation hit Chen Nian like a hammer blow.

He didn't bother to explain or discuss the snow leopard's potential stress response, and directly controlled the drone to fly within 20 meters of the snow leopard.

However, even at such a dangerous distance.

The snow leopard still didn't show much reaction!

The drone's camera clearly captured the snow leopard's condition.

This time, the snow leopard didn't even glance at the drone. It simply lay there quietly on its side, its chest heaving violently and rapidly. Each breath seemed extremely difficult, and wisps of white vapor could even be faintly seen from its mouth and nose.

Chen Nian's gaze was fixed intently on the snow leopard's belly—

There was a noticeably abnormal and unnatural bulge there!
That silhouette was definitely not that of someone who had eaten a large meal, but rather...
A thought flashed through Chen Nian's mind like lightning, causing his pupils to suddenly shrink to the size of pinpoints!

"She's pregnant?!"

(A ship full of cats pressing down on the Milky Way!)
