Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Chapter 219 - 219: Competing in Beast Vein, He Has Never Lost (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

He didn't care whether he wanted to; what mattered was whether the leader was willing.

This Clouded Leopard had also come from Dian Province, and it was expected that returning it would be acceptable.

Chen Ying was most annoyed by these matters, but Meihua understood and reassured him by patting her chest, promising to handle it so Chen Ying wouldn't need to worry.

Senior Bai got the answer she wanted and left.

She still had to check on the bird banding work, busy as a spinning top.

Meihua didn't linger either, asking Chen Ying to prepare, as they would be entering the rainforest to patrol with M Alliance and the volunteer team as early as that afternoon, or at the latest by tomorrow.

"The whole trip is expected to last seven to ten days. The area we're responsible for is the largest, and this time the focus is to survey the populations of Flower Leopards and Clouded Leopards. If we're lucky, we might even see an Indochinese Tiger that has crossed over."

Meihua handed over the supplies needed for the trip to Chen Ying, along with a satellite phone and a hand-drawn map.

"Our intelligent platform here isn't as well-developed as on the Mainland, so having a hand-drawn map is essential, especially in case we get disconnected under unexpected circumstances."

The rainforest environment was complex; being a newcomer and unable to communicate with the locals, a satellite phone would be direct help in case of any accidental separation.

Chen Ying accepted Meihua's kindness and brushed up on some local field re

Chen Ying volunteered to stay outside; embracing the chance to chat with wildlife friends, why not enjoy it?

Also choosing to stay outside were one M league member and the team leader; they decided to bunk up with Chen Ying.

"We'll try to finish the patrol and sampling in this area by noon tomorrow. Also, you three will handle the replacement of infrared cameras; it's best to stick together, don't wander alone."

This area was relatively safe, but since people rarely entered daily, and the infrared cameras were checked only every three to four months or half a year for memory and batteries, who knows what cute little thing might appear during that period.

After finishing today's work summary, the team leader invited Chen Ying to accompany him to search for traces of felines.

"There were records of tigers in this area, but it's been nearly thirty years since the last sighting, and we haven't found any lingering signs of them here."

The team leader, well-experienced, pointed out to Chen Ying the marks on the trees indicating which animal they belonged to.

They walked around the vicinity for about an hour, finding two scats from feline animals.

Thanks to Leopard Sister's family, Chen Ying could immediately tell both were from a flower leopard, and the scats were fresh; it seemed their poop maker was roaming nearby.

Just as they were about to return to the camp, Chen Ying suddenly sensed something amiss, lunged forward, pushing the team leader aside while he rolled to the ground.

When he looked up, he came face to face with a ferocious glance.
