Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 39: The Cunning Bear with Two Faces, Only the Pig Brother Gets Hurt
It was the first time Chen Ying and the others saw the face of that fight-loving giant panda.
Ordinary giant panda: "Cute acts are our specialty!"
Kung fu giant panda: "Give me an AK, and I can flip the world!!"
"Brother Ying, why does this giant panda look like he's part of the Black Help Society?"
Little Deng stated his horizon was forcefully broadened again.
Not only Little Deng found it peculiar, even Chen Ying and Yin Li, who often dealt with giant pandas, were seeing this boss-level giant panda for the first time.
Chen Ying licked his gums and suppressed a laugh, "No wonder Mendun'er said this giant panda doesn't understand romance; he even turns down female bears that throw themselves at him. Seems like there are straight males among humans, and iron-clad straights in Panda World."
The four of them chuckled quietly, not daring to make too much noise as they crowded around and watched the scene on the tiny phone screen.
Leopard Sister elegantly rolled her eyes and led her two cubs to practice pouncing nearby.
She just couldn't understand what these bipedal beasts found so amusing, watching a fight with sleazy smiles on their faces.
Though known for their cuteness, giant pandas are still bears after all.
The difference in combat ability between them and black bears is basically just weight and size.
This Social panda was not at all smaller in size compared to Street Rat Black Bear; it was really hard to predict who would win or lose in a real fight.
Both Bear-men stood up, made fierce faces, and then charged towards each other furiously.
Old Wild Boar, leading its offspring, stepped back, clearly not wanting to get involved in the bears' struggle for supremacy.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
Just as the two bears were about to clash, they simultaneously turned around and pounced toward the dumbfounded group of wild boars.
Old Wild Boar hastily met the enemy, its confusion visible in its eyes.
Behind it, three juvenile wild boars reacted quicker than Old Wild Boar. Two of them charged towards Black Bear, while another headed for Social panda.
Yet, another twist occurred.
One of the juvenile wild boars ran a few steps, performed a slide tackle followed by a roll, and swiftly bypassed Social panda, then bolted away without once looking back.
If Old Wild Boar could speak, it would undoubtedly curse for two straight hours.
Its capable son had fled, leaving behind three sows and four or five little cubs; it had no choice but to face the threat.
"Sucker!" Yin Li exclaimed, "These wild boars are doomed."
Sure enough, after realizing its sibling had escaped, one of the other juvenile wild boars also abandoned Black Bear and its brother and ran away in a different direction from the previous one.
The morale of the pigs plummeted.
The mother pigs, leading their piglets, also panicked and scurried off.
These wild boars had been long harassed by Social panda; how could they be unclear about its combat capability?
Had it not been for Old Wild Boar's reluctance to leave, they would have moved their family elsewhere long ago.
Half an hour later, Old Wild Boar was taken down jointly by Black Bear and Social panda, and the other juvenile wild boar had long been dead—if he'd been quick, he'd probably have reincarnated by now.
Neither of the bears ate wild boar meat. After winning together, they grinned at each other and simultaneously turned and left.
Chen Ying looked up at Yin Li and Master Zhao, biting his cheek and chuckling.
"Leopard Sister, let's go, time for a snack."
Since they were already dead, better to benefit Leopard Sister than some other wild creature.
She was about to return to the mountains and wanted to stock up on nutrition to better raise her two cubs.
Old Boar and his company didn't need it, so they managed to drag the teenage wild boar away from the battleground.
A few people, right beside the mountain stream, quickly slit open the body of the wild boar, removed some of the tender meat, and left the rest for Leopard Sister and her two little cubs to enjoy.
They couldn't directly hunt wild boars, but this kind of gain, which evidently was the result of spontaneous behavior among wild animals, could still be taken advantage of.
Moreover, the meat of these wild boars wasn't all that tasty, it was okay to eat occasionally, but consuming it frequently was unwanted.
Leopard Sister pulled out the intestines, and after being picky, ate most of them, leaving the scraps for the two kids to gnaw and lick the blood off.
Once they had eaten to their satisfaction and cleaned up the trash, the group of people crossed Wild Boar Valley and continued on their way through the mountain gully.
Not far ahead, a black-and-white Dumplings appeared.
By maneuvering the drone silently close, they saw a Social Panda enjoying himself by a rock.
Nearby, the bamboo poles and bamboo shoot shells had piled up into a small mountain.

Not daring to disturb this big fellow, the group of people took a detour, passing through the bamboo forest and moving forward.
"Did that Street Rat Black Bear go up the mountain from the east?"
Little Deng asked.
"If we don't find it on this side of the gully, will we encounter it again if we go up the mountain from the east?"
Now that he thought about having to face the Black Bear head-on, Little Deng felt a bit panicky.
Yin Li patted Little Deng's shoulder.
"No worries, we'll see how it goes when the time comes. If we need to climb over the mountain, you might have to go back early. You haven't walked that route before, and you're not skilled in climbing. It requires a couple more years of experience."
Master Zhao grinned and looked at Little Deng, "When I was learning, I started hunting in the mountains as a kid. It took more than a decade with my master before he let me learn to climb mountains. You're still quite green, kid."
Both being newly recruited rangers, Master Zhao was a converted hunter, while Little Deng was purely a newcomer.
Little Deng wasn't pleased to be looked down upon, but he also felt a sense of relief internally.
He indeed lacked the experience to take on such a heavy task.
An hour and a half later, they found the gully Mendun'er had mentioned.
Oh no, there was water in the ditch, and it was quite a lot.
However, this also confirmed that Sesame had probably fallen into the water upstream and got washed down here, having only the opportunity to climb up here.
Leopard Sister cautiously went into the ditch to explore but didn't smell the scent of Mendun'er's kind.
Taking advantage of the daylight, Yin Li and Master Zhao began to prepare for camping overnight, while Chen Ying controlled the drone to scout further up the gully.
The system's product was stable.
The wind in the gully was strong, but it had little effect on the drone. Despite the insufficient light at the shadowy bottom of the gully, the drone even had automatic lighting, and the screen still displayed a clear view.
After flying about three to four kilometers, Chen Ying retracted the drone, planning to check another direction during the day tomorrow.
This was the first time the two little leopards had spent the night outdoors since their mother had been hurt. As soon as it got dark, they became so scared they shoved themselves, head and bottom, beneath Leopard Sister's belly.
The little leopards were now fifty or sixty days old, unable to completely hide under their mother's belly like when they were smaller.
As the two cubs pushed like this, Leopard Sister was almost propped up by them, letting out an annoyed howl, she unceremoniously bit Big Baby's ear and dragged him out.
After entering the deeper mountains, Chen had instructed Yin Li not to carry the little cubs unless absolutely necessary.
They needed to adapt to life away from humans.
With Leopard Sister raising them alone, inevitably there would be times she left them behind to hunt, and the little leopards had to adapt to not having their mother around. They also had to learn quickly how to conceal themselves and how to avoid being preyed upon by other predators.
In the middle of the night, Chen Ying suddenly woke up.
Yin Li, who was on night watch, shook his head at him and gestured for him to look in the direction of ten o'clock.
