After breakfast in the morning.
Lin Tian, as usual, prepared his backpack and went out to patrol the mountains.
As expected, the giant panda mother saw Lin Tian going out and immediately carried her two babies, following him with her little tail wagging.
Lin Tian rubbed his forehead helplessly.
The giant panda mother seemed to love following him out to search the mountains.
Because they could find all sorts of delicious wild fruits and bamboo along the way.
But it was good that they followed him,
so that he could watch the two panda cubs on the road and feel more at ease.
But.
What Lin Tian didn't expect was that.
The alligator that had been resting in the pond saw him go out.
It also followed him with its short, stubby limbs.
"Hey, why are you following me?"
Lin Tian pointed at the alligator's head.
The alligator tilted its head, then opened its mouth and wagged its tail quickly.
It thought Lin Tian was praising it.
Lin Tian:...
Alright.
This alligator was not only acting like a silly dog, but it was also not very smart.
Forget it, let it follow if it wants to.
At least it would save him the worry that it would be secretly tearing up the house when he wasn't home.
So.
One man, one bear, one alligator, walking one after the other on the mountain path.
The audience found this strange procession amusing.
"Hahaha, congratulations, Tian Ge! Your mountain patrol team is even stronger now!"
"Too bad we didn't see Xiao Jinzi (golden monkey), otherwise this team could be a Journey to the West team."
"Hahaha, then Tian Ge would be Tang Sanzang, and the team is full of animals."
"Pfft, if you say so, it really does look like that!"
…
"Ahem, who would know how hard it is for me to be a forest ranger?"
Lin Tian walked on the road, and also took a look at the barrage, complaining a bit.
Fortunately, the giant panda mother and the alligator were both quite well-behaved.
They didn't cause any trouble for his forest patrol work.
The giant panda mother was still running around looking for wild fruits on the road.
While the alligator moved very little, just following behind Lin Tian, occasionally wagging its tail from afar.
All the way forward.
Lin Tian's destination today was a low-lying area deep in the mountains.
This was where the deer herd lived.
It also had a large number of ancient trees planted there.
These trees, the smallest of which were at least fifty to sixty years old.
So they were very likely to be targeted by poachers.
Although there were surveillance cameras installed in this area.
But cameras couldn't monitor the entire area, and wireless cameras also needed to have their batteries replaced and charged regularly.
They still needed to be checked by people.
But you didn't have to go every day, usually every three days.
This place was far from the residential area, it took two to three hours to walk.
So this time, Lin Tian brought plenty of water and food.
And the giant panda mother and the alligator didn't need to worry, they could find food to eat along the way.
After a morning of trekking, Lin Tian finally arrived at the redwood area.
The trees here were tall and the environment was eerie.
Lin Tian carefully inspected it, and found no signs of illegal logging.
He felt a slight relief in his heart.
Then he sat down to rest, he was not tired after walking for a whole morning.
But the giant panda mother and the alligator who had been following behind him were very tired.
Especially the alligator, which was used to lurking and swimming in the water, after walking so far on land.
It was already exhausted, and was now lying in the sun, sticking out its tongue to rest and breathe.
Lin Tian took out water and flatbread from his backpack to eat, while the giant panda mother carried her two cubs and fed them.
At this time, a wild rabbit suddenly ran out from in front of them!
When it saw the alligator and the giant panda mother,
it immediately scared this cute little rabbit,
it jumped and ran.
And the alligator, discovering that food had entered its line of sight, suddenly turned its head to bite.
This bite was not a good idea, with a crack, it bit down on the entrenching tool that Lin Tian had placed next to it.
——With a crack,
A sound that made people's teeth ache.
This entrenching tool was a high-strength alloy shovel that Lin Tian had bought specially, the quality was surprisingly good.
This bite,
didn't catch the rabbit,
It actually injured the alligator's teeth.
"Hahaha, Alligator brother, you are so stupid, the rabbit is so far away."
"Alligator brother's eyesight is not very good."
"This bite, I'm afraid it will knock out a few teeth."
…
Lin Tian noticed this scene, and also felt speechless towards the alligator's eyesight.
He was both xin teng (heart-ache) his entrenching tool,
and worried whether the alligator would bite its wound.
Fortunately, he went to check,
the alligator's teeth weren't injured, only its jaw was numb.
"Tsk, you want to eat rabbit?"
Lin Tian patted the alligator's head, and found that it was indeed hungry.
It had walked for a whole morning, and had hardly eaten anything.
While the giant panda mother had eaten quite a bit of wild fruit and wild bamboo along the way, stopping and starting.
The alligator, however, had not caught any prey.
Alligators are powerful when they burst out, but they can't chase prey for long distances.
They are more patient, they like to lie in wait and ambush.
Lin Tian looked at the wild rabbit that had jumped away, and also licked his lips with a bit of desire.
He hadn't tasted roasted rabbit in a long time.
He discovered that there were many wild rabbit burrows nearby, it could be said that they were rampant.
Thinking of this,
Lin Tian decided, he would catch two wild rabbits for lunch, just to fill the alligator's belly.
But to catch rabbits, you need tools.
However, he didn't have anything useful in his hands right now.
It wouldn't be too difficult to dig a simple trap.
But the chances of catching a wild rabbit were too small.
Lin Tian thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at the alligator.
He suddenly had an idea.
He called the alligator over.
