Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 91 - This Mental State is Somewhat Terrifying
Chapter 91: Chapter 91 This Mental State is Somewhat Terrifying Chapter 91: Chapter 91 This Mental State is Somewhat Terrifying “Your gaze gives me a bad feeling.”
Chen Ying squinted, warily looking at Mr. Lepus.
“┗|`O′|┛Ah~~” Mr. Lepus stretched lazily and lay down.
“It’s nothing much, just that it has a bit of a relationship with the leopard you know.”
Brother Leopard, or Leopard Sister?
Mr. Lepus shook his head and licked the fur by his mouth.
“The younger brother of that female leopard with cubs, related by blood, said to be from the same litter.”
“That guy’s former territory overlapped with his sister’s. Later, his sister hooked up with a tough male leopard, who beat him up and chased him over here.”
So… the brother-in-law beat up the little brother-in-law, while the sister enjoyed the show with her cubs and sipped soda?
“The white guy from the Bai Family above is a scumbag, chasing after every female he sees. The one with the flowery coat below is an iron fool, bites and chases away any female leopard that shows up in his territory. None of my neighbors are normal.”
(Let me hear what bad things you’re saying about me behind my back)
Chen Ying glanced at him, looked down, and didn’t make a sound.
It seems Mr. Lepus isn’t quite normal either.
What normal lynx would adopt a child bride?
Mr. Lepus knew quite well about the fierce beasts in his territory and the neighboring areas.
Apart from leopards and lynxes, there was a black bear in the woods of another path down the mountain.
The black bear was quite timid, generally avoiding fights with other predators and seemed to be enjoying its solitary life.
As they were chatting, the snow leopard dragged a rock sheep back onto the rock it had been standing on earlier, proudly showing off.
Take a bite, glance at Chen Ying, take another bite, and another glance.
The feeling was as if he was treating Chen Ying and the others as a meal accompaniment.
After watching the display for a while, Mr. Lepus had his appetite whetted.
He turned and glanced back, then went hunting with Little Lynx, leaving Jinya with Chen Ying and the others.
Jinya stood earnestly between Chen Ying and the snow leopard, and a few minutes later, Chen Ying heard a growl of hunger.
He couldn’t help it and burst out laughing, while Yin Li clenched his lips and turned his back, his shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter.
Although they seemed indifferent to the snow leopard’s presence, they were on high alert.
It didn’t take long for Mr. Lepus and Little Lynx to return, one of them carrying a mouse rabbit.
Mr. Lepus dropped his catch for his sister, glanced at the snow leopard, and ran off again.
Though both lynxes and snow leopards were predators, their diets didn’t clash, so there wasn’t likely to be a fight when food was plentiful.
Mr. Lepus was quite impressive; he made three trips and caught three super plump mouse rabbits.
Chen Ying politely declined Mr. Lepus’s generous offer and filled up with bread and dried meat together with Yin Li.
The area they were in was the Southern Slope, and they still had three cameras to check on the North Slope.
After eating, Mr. Lepus accompanied them around the rocky area inhabited by the snow leopard, passing through its territory to reach their destination.
The North Slope was three to four degrees cooler than the Southern Slope, but the winds were less severe.
Rushing to handle the remaining cameras, they retreated to the edge of the forest to set up camp for the night.
Mr. Lepus led them to a good spot.
Under a huge rock was an open space with two crevices.
“This crevice is my den, and the smaller one next to it is occasionally used by Jinya.”
Mr. Lepus and Little lynx lay together, licking each other’s fur.
They were nocturnal animals. If it weren’t for the arrival of Chen Ying and his group, Mr. Lepus would generally sleep in the cave with Little lynx during the day, only emerging at night to hunt.
It wasn’t dark yet, and Mr. Lepus was struggling to fight off drowsiness, especially seeing Little lynx so sound asleep, snoring softly. After muttering a few words, he rested his head on Little lynx and fell asleep as well.
Jinya had already burrowed into the cave and was soundly asleep, not even opening her eyes when her paws were touched.
Chen Ying and Yin Li finished writing their journal and sat down to cook some warm food while chatting as well.
Both kept their voices low, afraid of waking Mr. Lepus and his company.
Flower Leopard and Snow Leopard’s territories overlapped, indicating that they could likely engage in conflicts while hunting.
But there was no solving that, as human intervention was out of the question.
However, this situation needed reporting to the Forestry Bureau, and colleagues from other reserves needed to observe and track, to see if this was an isolated incident.
As for what Mr. Lepus mentioned, that Flower Leopard and Leopard Sister were biological siblings, he planned to wait for Leopard Sister to return from her travels before having a discussion.

No, he couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of Brother Armflower being beaten up by his brother-in-law while his sister watched the commotion.
With nothing else to do, they picked some photos to save on their phones to post for their fans when they had network access.
They had been out for three nights, and with two more nights in the wild before returning, the trip would total six days and five nights in the most optimal scenario.
They dared not raise their hopes too high; high winds on the tall mountains were prone to cause mishaps.
“I’ll sleep first, wake me at two, and I’ll wake you at five in the morning. Let’s see if we can capture some of Snow Leopard’s morning activity on video.”
The mountain winds were strong, and it was uncertain if the drone could withstand them, but a device from this system should be reliable, shouldn’t it?
Domestic drones were claimed to be wind-resistant up to level six winds, which, discounted, should hold up against level four or five. But he had no idea what wind level the high-altitude mountain region could muster, so how could he be sure it would be fine?
He quietly called out to the system, which remained silent as if it had gone offline without his knowledge.
No choice then, they could only try and see if it worked; use it if it does, and quickly retract it if not.
Before two o’clock struck, Chen Ying awoke, wiped his face to freshen up, then sent Yin Li off to sleep.
Mr. Lepus and his company had gone out at some point, and when they returned dragging a Rock Sheep, Chen Ying realized the trio’s hunting skills were not to be underestimated.
The three lynxes didn’t invite Chen to join in their feast.
After eating their fill, Jinya came over and lay down beside Chen, resting her head on his leg, nudging his hand for a rub.
Mr. Lepus couldn’t bear to watch his silly sister, intently grooming Little lynx’s fur.
In this peaceful and tranquil moment, suddenly, a fierce growl erupted from above.
Mr. Lepus stood up to listen carefully but didn’t move.
“Those two guys are fighting again. It’s okay, they won’t try to kill each other. They probably set their sights on the same prey.”
Luckily, lynxes’ main diet consisted of rabbits and rodents, and only occasionally hunted a small deer or Small roe deer.
The Rock Sheep today was only taken down because the trio worked together. Normally, Mr. Lepus wouldn’t instigate a conflict with the two leopards.
While the two leopards were now fighting, he wouldn’t be so foolish as to spectate; an accidental misdirected venting of rage could cost an unwitting audience their life without them even realizing what happened.
If Mr. Lepus didn’t dare to go, neither did Chen Ying.
He couldn’t even beat Mr. Lepus, let alone the two Brother Leopards. Did he look like a professional courier of death?
The sound of the fight didn’t last long, probably amounting to just a standoff with roars at each other.
With all this free time for quarreling, it would be better to choose a hunting target in the calm morning hours instead.
At five, Yin Li turned off his alarm and woke up. He stepped out of the tent to see Chen Ying lying on a rock, looking up.
“What are you looking at?” He leaned in for a glance and cursed, “Does this big guy have some problem? Does it have to watch us to enjoy its food?”
True enough, that Snow Leopard was again leisurely tearing into a small sheep on the rock.
With a casual air of nonchalance, one bite at a time, it made Chen Ying and Yin Li feel as if the Snow Leopard was tearing into their flesh!
Was this Snow Leopard’s mental state truly normal?
