Chen Yang quickly arrived at the newly discovered bamboo forest, where Li Su'er, Xing Tu, and Ou Huang were already waiting for him.
"Alien Yang, this mission cannot fail. If I can't pet a giant panda tomorrow, you might want to consider a ten-day couch trip."
Li Su'er patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said to him.
Chen Yang stood at attention and saluted, saying, "I guarantee to complete the task assigned by the superior."
Xing Tu, who couldn't stand it anymore, said, "I'm telling you, stop being so sarcastic to this old man. If you keep doing that, I'll lose all my teeth. Chen Yang, you should hurry up and go, it'll be inconvenient when it gets dark."
Chen Yang nodded, then led Ou Huang into the bamboo forest. Ou Huang had already memorized the scent of the giant panda, so finding the giant panda again wouldn't be difficult.
However, giant pandas have a stronger sense of taste than Europeans, so they may already be on guard against them.
This bamboo forest was larger than any they had found before. The bamboo grew very tall and dense. When the autumn wind blew, the bamboo leaves fell like rain, creating a mesmerizing scene.
Even though Chen Yang is now focused on catching giant pandas, he couldn't help but be attracted by the sight.
However, the European Emperor doesn't like fallen leaves. It doesn't have that kind of aesthetic sense. In its eyes, these fallen leaves are nothing but a nuisance.
The wind also diluted the scent considerably, but fortunately, this bamboo grove seemed to retain a lot of the panda's scent, and the lucky one could find the traces by sniffing carefully.
But before they could even cause trouble for the panda, a panda came running towards them.
As far as Chen Yang knows, giant pandas and wolves are old enemies.
Wolves are one of the few creatures that can threaten giant pandas. Sometimes, when they are really starving, wolves will even attack young or adult pandas.
However, wolves can only defeat giant pandas because of their numerical advantage. If a wolf is alone, it will either be slapped to death or sat on to death.
This giant panda likely mistook the lucky one for a lone wolf, which is why it attacked him.
The giant panda was incredibly powerful when it ran, but Chen Yang wasn't afraid. He charged straight at it, dodging its pounce and then engaging it in close combat.
Only this kind of close-quarters combat can bring out Chen Yang's full advantage. Even he wouldn't want to be slapped by a giant panda. Although he wouldn't die, he would definitely get injured.
At such close range, the giant panda's strength is completely limited, and it cannot exert its full power. Chen Yang, on the other hand, possesses strength comparable to that of a giant panda, and can easily block its paws and bites.
Giant pandas have one of the strongest bite forces among bears, but Chen Yang always manages to dodge their bites or punch them when they open their mouths.
In the brief close-quarters combat lasting only about a minute, all the pandas who got hit were pandas, while Chen Yang didn't lose a single hair.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the giant panda quickly gave up the fight and fled.
Chen Yang followed behind with Ou Huang. It would be easy for him to stop Ou Huang, but he wanted to see if the giant panda had any cubs.
During the fight, Chen Yang discovered that the giant panda was female, and given its aggressive behavior, Chen Yang suspected that it might be carrying cubs.
Bears are generally solitary, but mother bears will raise their cubs for a period of time. For example, Little Black met Chen Yang and his group just as it was about to leave its mother.
After following the giant panda for a short distance, Chen Yang quickly discovered a cave and heard the tender cries coming from inside.
Sure enough, there were still baby pandas there.
The giant panda in front of them suddenly sped up, then picked up a baby panda that had just crawled out of its den and ran off.
This surprised Chen Yang, because he saw a baby giant panda, no bigger than the palm of his hand, squealing inside the cave.
To be honest, it's one thing for giant pandas, such fierce beasts, to be cute, but the cries of young giant pandas are just like a girl's coquettish whimper, which can make people blush just by hearing them.
This smaller baby panda appears to have been abandoned by its mother.
This is a perfectly normal choice for female giant pandas. If they give birth to twins and the female panda feels she is not capable of raising them, she will choose to raise the stronger one and let the other die.
This situation frequently occurs in panda breeding bases. However, in these bases, abandoned pandas are artificially raised, whereas in the wild, they are not so lucky and generally cannot escape death.
This female panda originally raised both of them, but when faced with danger, she made a decisive choice: she took the stronger one and fled, while using the smaller one to attract the enemy's attention.
This is nature: survival of the fittest, even between mother and child.
"Little guy, I don't know whether to say you're unlucky or lucky," Chen Yang said with a wry smile.
He didn't expect that the mother bear had just given birth. This baby panda was no more than three days old, and its eyes hadn't even opened properly yet. Its fur was sparse and grayish, and it hadn't yet developed the black and white fur that is most characteristic of pandas.
This giant panda is so small, it's quite a headache.
Such small pandas are too easy to kill if they are fed to death. It would be a real tragedy if they died after being brought back.
They don't usually feel bad when a lamb dies, but if a giant panda dies while they're raising it, they feel like they might be cursed by the heavens.
However, given the current situation, we have no choice but to take it back.
Chen Yang took off his clothes, wrapped the baby panda in them, and ran back as fast as he could.
He wants to send the baby panda back as soon as possible and give it some milk. He has no other choice now, so he'll have to make do with goat milk or cow milk.
When he arrived outside the bamboo forest, he saw Li Su'er and Xing Tu and hurriedly went to greet them.
Just then, the baby panda in his arms let out a cry.
Li Su'er looked at Chen Yang with a strange expression. She felt embarrassed by his voice, and the fact that Chen Yang had taken off his clothes to wrap the giant panda, leaving him shirtless, made people's imaginations run wild.
Chen Yang had no idea that Li Su'er was still having wild imaginations. He walked up to the two of them and then said to Li Su'er.
"Su'er, log out and check what kind of milk panda cubs drink. Later, wake up someone who is still at the camp and tell them that I will see if I can find suitable milk when I get back to the camp."
Li Su'er then came to her senses, gently lifted her clothes, and glanced at the panda cub inside. The panda cub responded with a cry.
That sweet, childlike voice instantly melted Li Su'er's heart.
"Okay, I'll log out of the check immediately. Tell Yining to ask her when you get to the camp."
Chen Yang nodded, then immediately ran towards the camp, using his Lightness of Body Technique to help the panda cub in his arms break through the wind and keep it warm.
Upon arriving at the camp, he learned that artificial feeding involved mixing formula with dog milk. However, another good option was black bear milk.
"Little Black, take me to your lover!"
Chen Yang knew that Xiao Hei had been sneaking into the forest with female bear cubs frequently lately, and not just one, so there was definitely some breeding involved. There might even be some cubs currently nursing.
Chen Yang set off with the thickest rope in the camp and Xiao Hei.
Two hours later, Chen Yang returned with a female black bear tied up.
The black bear let out a defiant roar, while its lover, Little Black, followed behind guiltily.
The hungry panda cub finally got to drink the black bear's milk. The female black bear seemed to be showing maternal instincts and did not resist. However, Chen Yang still did not dare to untie her and decided to wait until she had been tamed for a while. In the meantime, she would act as the panda cub's wet nurse.
