Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Chapter 202 - 202: What Kind of Tiger, This is a Huannan Golden Layer

The re

Chen Ying tried hard to convey his good intentions and did not rush to approach.

The tiger watched him for quite a while, then lowered its head to pick up the rabbit and started tearing into it voraciously.

Despite not being short of food, it would not pass up a meal that came to its doorstep.

Chen Ying waited until it had almost finished eating before slowly attempting to get closer.

The tiger ignored him, lying down on its side to leisurely gnaw the bones, occasionally glancing his way.

Five meters, three meters, two meters, one meter.

Chen Ying stopped when he was an arm's length away from the tiger and extended his hand, tentatively allowing it to sniff his scent.

The tiger showed no reaction, flicking its tail casually.

Chen Ying moved a bit closer, his fingers now able to touch the tiger's forehead.

Its fur was a bit rough, not as smooth as Jinya's or Leopard Sister's, nor as thick and soft as Great Bai's and Jiaojiao's.

Tentatively, he stroked the tiger's head; the tiger squinted its eyes and rubbed its head subconsciously against his palm.

Chen Ying's eyes brightened, and he moved closer, sitting down beside it.

The tiger stretched out its paw onto his knee and gave him a not-too-light, not-too-heavy swipe with its tail.

Chen Ying took out a specially made steel comb, let the tiger sniff it, and then began to groom it.

The fur he combed out was directly packed into sample bags, and he filled five or six before stopping.

Then he began to give the tiger a sort of massage, and after a complete round of cat kneading, the tiger turned into a jelly-like pancake.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Ying spotted the tiger's little bell.

Its identity confirmed, Brother Hu was undoubtedly there.

Professor Bai watched from a distance, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Why wasn't such a talent working with him on tiger research?

Such a waste for him to be a veterinarian!

If this had been his student, he would have been the one stroking the tiger now.

After giving Brother Hu a thorough massage, Chen Ying suddenly had the impulsive idea to bow his head into its chest.

Brother Hu stared with wide eyes, seemingly not understanding what the two-legged beast was doing – it wasn't a tigress, it had no milk to offer him!

Feeling something was off, Brother Hu pushed Chen Ying away, got up to enter the cave, but suddenly turned its gaze where Professor Bai was hidden.

The same two-legged beast's scent reeked in the air; should it go scare them a bit?

Chen Ying also noticed Professor Bai's figure and grabbed Brother Hu's neck in one swift motion.

"Brother Hu, please show some respect, that's a colleague of my teacher, you can't pounce."

Brother Hu opened his mouth wide, letting out a low roar.

The breath was so strong, Chen Ying almost couldn't handle it and nearly yue out on the spot.

Upon seeing Chen Ying release him obediently, Brother Hu satisfyingly shook his fur and slowly sauntered back into his cave.

When Chen Ying saw it had gone back in without reemerging, he went back to find the professor and together, they descended the hill.

They picked up the pace downhill and reached the camping site by the creek before dark.

"It's confirmed, that tiger resides in the cave halfway up the mountain. Here is the fur I groomed from it, six samples in total, you guys decide how to divide them."

Then, Chen Ying sent a message to his friend from the M Alliance, telling him to contact the relevant person in charge for the samples.

Initially, Chen Ying was supposed to return to the emergency rescue station to stay overnight, but he was worried about their first night in the forest, not being familiar with the environment and possible dangers, so he reluctantly stayed.

The tents were delivered by Old Gao.

In the middle of the night, Jinya snuck over with Little Jin, almost causing the person on watch to scream.
