Forest Ranger: Starting with a Giant Panda Mom Clinging to Me - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Even Panda Mom Has Learned Bad Habits

“Croc, wanna eat some rabbit? Let’s catch one together.”

Roar roar …!

The Chinese Alligator, hearing there was rabbit to eat, eagerly nodded.

Lin Tian smiled and pointed to the burrow where the wild rabbit had just darted into. “You go wait at that burrow entrance. When the rabbit comes out, you grab it.”

The Chinese Alligator had quick reflexes and strong burst power. As long as it was prepared, it could snap up the rabbit the moment it bolted from the burrow.

“Roar roar!”

The alligator immediately understood Lin Tian’s plan, excitedly wagging its tail in agreement.

So, after Lin Tian picked the burrow entrance, the alligator eagerly scurried over to wait.

> “Is Brother Tian preparing to catch a wild rabbit?”

> “Whoa, is he making Croc Bro guard the rabbit burrow?”

“> Rabbit: Blocking my front door, have you no manners?”

> “Can they actually catch one like this?”

…

“Don’t know, let’s try our luck. If we don’t catch one, no big deal.”

Lin Tian glanced at the live stream comments and casually responded.

His plan was simple: block off the nearby burrow entrances and smoke the rabbits out. He found a piece of dry wood nearby, soaked it with water to prevent it from catching fire, and ensured it would produce thick smoke when lit.

Then, he left two burrow entrances open, waiting for the rabbits to emerge.

If none came out, it’d just be a break.

Lin Tian lit the smoky fire and tossed it into the burrow. As the smoke spread inside, faint wisps of smoke drifted out from three nearby entrances, indicating they were connected.

By blocking two of the entrances and leaving the one where the alligator was stationed open, it should work.

“Ying ying!”

Panda Mom, having finished feeding her two cubs, noticed the scene. Carrying her cubs in her mouth, she waddled over, seemingly intrigued and wanting to join the fun.

Lin Tian thought about it—having Panda Mom join could help. Though her reaction speed wasn’t great, she could guard another entrance.

So, he had her place her cubs in the backpack and stationed her at another nearby burrow entrance. Meanwhile, Lin Tian grabbed a stick and stood guard at the third entrance, ready to act.

> “Can they really catch a rabbit like this?”

> “Doubtful, rabbits are super fast.”

> “Look at the alligator staring at the burrow—its drool is practically dripping!”

> “Hahaha, looks like Croc Bro is just as much of a foodie as Panda Mom!”

…

Time ticked by.

A few minutes later, Lin Tian figured the rabbits inside couldn’t hold out much longer. Sure enough, after a dozen seconds—A gray rabbit suddenly shot out from the alligator’s burrow entrance!

The Chinese Alligator was ready.

The instant the rabbit appeared, it jerked its head up, opened its massive jaws, and chomped down!

Crunch!

The rabbit, mid-escape, was caught by the waist and became the alligator’s meal!

> “Whoa! Croc Bro is awesome!”

> “They actually caught one!”

> “Croc Bro, 666!”

…

The viewers saw this and got hyped.

On the other side, Panda Mom, seeing the rabbit escape from the alligator’s burrow, was a bit annoyed. She squatted in front of her burrow entrance, irritably smacking the ground.

But at that exact moment—by pure chance, another rabbit bolted out of her burrow entrance and crashed right into her paw, getting knocked out cold with one swipe.

> “???”

> “Pfft, that rabbit is just too unlucky!”

> “It got hit like that?!”

> “This rabbit definitely didn’t check the almanac before leaving home today.”

> “Poor rabbit family, wiped out by Croc Bro and Panda Mom. They’re so cute, too.”

> “Truly, died of cuteness.”

> “Rabbit: Your bunny here can’t see tomorrow’s sun anymore.”

…

“Ying ying!”

Panda Mom, stunned at first by accidentally smacking a rabbit, quickly got excited. She grabbed the rabbit, holding it in her mouth, and happily trotted over to Lin Tian.

“…”

Lin Tian, squatting at his burrow entrance, saw the alligator chomping on one rabbit and Panda Mom holding another. He was speechless.

How were these guys so lucky? His burrow entrance? Not even a single rabbit hair.

“Ying ying~!”

Panda Mom glanced at the silent burrow entrance, then at Lin Tian. Suddenly, she stood upright, patted Lin Tian’s shoulder with her front paws, and shook her round head with a look of pity.

Lin Tian: “…”

His face twitched. He really wanted to pinch Panda Mom’s chubby cheeks. Where did she learn these expressions? Now she’s even mocking him!

No way. From now on, when he was scrolling Douyin, he wouldn’t let her watch. She’d learned bad habits!

> “Pfft, hahaha!”

> “Oh no, I can’t—Panda Mom is just too adorable!”

> “That expression is perfect!”

> “It’s all Brother Tian’s fault for letting Panda Mom learn from watching Douyin videos.”

> “I can’t, this is the sassiest panda I’ve ever seen!”
