Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 503 - 459 White Snake: I Know Shadow Clone Technique
Chapter 503: Chapter 459 White Snake: I Know Shadow Clone Technique
The return journey felt much faster. By the time they reached the surface, Dao Meihua and the teammates had already treated Dai Wang’s external injuries.
"We didn’t dare touch his leg; it’s still in the simple bandaged and fixed state you did before."
The fracture in the ankle has already been set. It’s currently wrapped in bandages and splints, but will need plaster for proper fixation later.
"Contact the outside immediately to have them come and take Dai Wang away."
"I just tried, but the satellite phone doesn’t work here. We’ll need to go up a bit further and try again. You guys figure out how to get him to the campsite first; I’ll go find a spot to make the call."
Once outside, it was easier. They made a simple stretcher to carry Dai Wang back first.
By around five in the afternoon, the rescuers found them with the guidance of the Big White Monkey and Dao Meihua.
"I have some medicine in my backpack. I first gave him some to prevent a cold, and also some to promote blood circulation and reduce bruising. Additionally, there might be fractures and cracks in the ankle and leg bones, which I’ve already dealt with. Be careful when carrying him out and send him to the hospital as soon as possible for further treatment." ƒгeewebnovёl_com
After Dai Wang was sent off, the rest stayed behind to continue the investigation.
Additionally, upon hearing about the underground cave and river, local geological researchers were restless and would likely organize a survey soon.
Chen Ying drew a map of the coordinates and route, sending it to the base so that geological researchers could access the relevant information from there.
Due to the incident on their side, other exploration teams were also warned of the danger, making everyone more cautious, even when walking.
However, after learning that White Bear and the Big White Monkey were with Chen Ying’s team, a member of another team suggested they join forces for the investigation.
After all, in the same time frame, their team hadn’t discovered anything, while Chen Ying’s team had help from the White Bear and the Big White Monkey.
Anyone would be envious.
Chen Ying and the others returned to the first night’s camp, waiting for the next instructions.
When they descended, there were five people and one monkey; upon returning, it was four people, one bear, and one monkey.
The total number hadn’t changed, but the nature was vastly different.
White Bear was a foodie, happy as long as there was food, and didn’t care about anything else.
But the Big White Monkey enjoyed learning, having picked up skills like starting a fire and boiling water from Chen Ying and Dao Meihua, and even learned how to cook noodles.
Of course, it’s not a master chef, but it knew to put noodles into boiling water, stir occasionally, and avoid burning the pot.
It also knew to add a "red can" because it tasted good, which it liked very much.
The red can referred to canned tomatoes, an essential for supplementing vitamins in the wild.
After cleaning, the small tin can could double as a drinking cup.
When the professor arrived with another team, the Big White Monkey was serving noodles under Dao Meihua and another female teammate’s guidance.
"Wow, you guys are... enslaving the Beastman Clan!"
A girl looked incredibly envious, as though she had just eaten several lemons. She shoved past Ying Bo, trying to snatch the noodles offered by the Big White Monkey.
The Big White Monkey got a little scared, holding its bowl as it hid behind Dao Meihua, nearly spilling the noodles’ broth.
The professor grasped her, "Why are you snatching, scaring the Big White Monkey, and I’ll peel your skin."
He then sat down boldly, smiling at the Big White Monkey like an orange peel, "This bowl of noodles is for me; I’m just right hungry."
Chen Ying stifled a laugh, pulling the Big White Monkey’s arm, "This is our leader, do you understand? It’s like your Monkey King, except food should be given to him first."
The Big White Monkey didn’t understand what a leader was, but it knew the Monkey King. Wasn’t that just what it used to be when it was younger?
However, this Monkey King seemed a bit too weak?
The Big White Monkey approached the professor, lifted his arm, and gave it a glance, shaking its head vigorously at Chen Ying.
"Squeak squeak, ooo ooo ooo!" Its lips flapped as it shook its head, clearly expressing disbelief.
The team members burst into laughter.
The professor couldn’t help but laugh too.
White Bear, initially sitting farther away, saw that after the White Monkey was given fruits and corn, it also shook its head and walked over to snatch the fruit from the Big White Monkey.
The Big White Monkey glanced at it, handing over the bigger pieces while it ate the smaller ones.
"Are these two buddies really close? It’s rare to see a bear and monkey together without fighting over food."
White Bear was famously gentle. The Big White Monkey, a Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey, also had a gentle temperament.
But usually, two such different animals don’t have such a good relationship unless raised together artificially.
After eating, under the professor and leaders’ lead, everyone sat down for a meeting.
Regarding Dai Wang’s situation, the professor heard that he had been sent to the best hospital in the city. His life wasn’t in danger; it’s just that with both legs broken, he probably wouldn’t participate in the next part of the expedition.
But the good news was that he could use the biological samples and relevant data from the White Bear and Big White Monkey to complete his thesis.
Perfectly, he could write his paper while recovering in the hospital, and apply for his graduation defense when he returned to school.
The next phase of work was for the professor and his team to investigate further along the route taken by Chen Ying and Dao Meihua, including surveying the biological environment along both sides of the below-stream.
With Dai Wang’s experience as a lesson, they didn’t plan to split up; otherwise, it would be hard to find even help if anyone got into trouble.
Actually, it was also because they had an advantage, with the Big White Monkey and White Bear leading the way, their progress was several times faster than the other team.
Without the Big White Monkey and White Bear, they’d probably still be wandering around outside.
"Our plan is to find three to five albino animals to collect samples for biological testing. Your team has already completed samples from two, so we’ll focus on small animals next."
Insects and small rodents are the focal points, and they tend to appear near rivers. Thus, after some deliberation, the professor and his team decided to follow the stream for further discoveries.
Though White Bear was gentle, it didn’t much enjoy acting alongside humans, especially not in large groups. Once it had eaten, it left, quickly disappearing into the forest, its body shaking with waves of flesh.
The Big White Monkey, on the other hand, loved mimicking human actions. Originally timid, its courage has grown following Chen Ying and the team. Almost unknowingly, it had grown bolder and even wanted to pick lice from the professor’s head.
After the meeting, people mingled in twos and threes, chatting leisurely, while a few young folks planned to go nearby for a break.
Just as Chen Ying and Ying Bo exchanged a couple of words, they heard someone scream.
The Big White Monkey was the fastest, racing towards the two girls, making threatening sounds at the tree in front of them.
Chen Ying followed, and under the flashlight, a white snake lifted its head on the dark brown bark.
"Little Bai? Where did you go? Haven’t seen you for days!"
Chen Ying stepped forward, grabbing the white snake.
However, Dao Meihua, squinting for a bit, suddenly spoke, "Brother Ying, that doesn’t seem like Little Bai!"
(The dumb AI drew a picture, but where did the tail go, I don’t know either)
