Forest Ranger: Help! A golden eagle cub is relying on me

[Ibex: A mammal of the genus Capra in the family Bovidae, it inhabits bare rock and rocky areas on the mountainside at an altitude of 3500-6000 meters. It is a typical alpine animal. Its adaptability and the harsh environment in which it lives form a miracle of survival.]

[Congratulations to the host, you have received a special reward: Disease Removal Card*1. ]

[Disease Removal Card: Can be used on a single designated target, instantly removing most non-fatal diseases and injuries from the target (ineffective against fatal injuries and aging). This magical effect is completely different from real medical treatment.]

Chen Chuan's eyebrows raised slightly. This sudden reward actually relieved some of his potential worries. The unexpected gain did not contradict the original intention of his trip.

Chen Chuan's fingertips unconsciously stroked the cold metal surface of the trekking pole, and the information on the [Disease Removal Card] flashed through his mind, like a spark in a snowy night, forming a strange break with the primitive and bloody scene before him.

He suppressed his scrutiny of the system's reward and refocused his gaze on the two fighting monsters. This concentration was completely different from his wandering thoughts just now.

"This is the ibex, the true king of the mountains."

Chen Chuan's voice came clearly into the live broadcast room through the microphone. His calm tone formed a sharp contrast with the sound of collision echoing in the valley.

He continued, his every word expressing his knowledge of these creatures: "Don't underestimate them because they are just sheep. When an adult male ibex strikes with all its might, its force can reach an astonishing four tons."

These words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves in the live broadcast room. The plain narration formed a strong contrast with the horrifying content.

"Four... four tons? Brother Chuan, are you kidding? How can a sheep have such great strength? It is completely different from the pet sheep living downstairs in my house that can only bleat!"

"Oh my god, what does four tons mean? It's the weight of a small car, right? If they get hit, not even a bone will be left. It's a terrifying contrast to their status as herbivores!"

"No wonder their horns are so ridiculously long. It turns out they are used to deal such great damage. This is completely different from my previous belief that they are just decorations!"

The exclamations and questions in the barrage were flying like snowflakes. The shock coming from the other side of the screen formed a sharp contrast with Chen Chuan's calmness as he observed closely at this moment.

The two ibexes collided violently again. Their heavy horns made a teeth-grinding "bang" sound, shaking the surrounding air slightly. This pure release of power had nothing to do with any skills.

They separated a little and breathed heavily. The white mist from their nostrils quickly condensed and dissipated in the cold air. The intense consumption formed a conflict with their unwillingness to give in.

Chen Chuan's eyes wandered between the two male ibexes, and then swept across a snow slope blocked by rocks not far behind them. His meticulous observation was completely different from the mentality of ordinary spectators watching the fun.

On the edge of the snow slope, several smaller female ibexes with lighter fur were watching the fight vigilantly. Occasionally they made a low call or two. The anxious atmosphere was different from the fury in the center of the battlefield.

"It seems that they are fighting for the mating rights of those ewes."

Chen Chuan came to the conclusion with a certain understanding in his tone. This judgment was inseparable from his rich experience in the field.

His words livened up the atmosphere in the live broadcast room again, but this time there was a different meaning in the exclamation, which was different from the pure fear before.

"Oh my god! So he is a warrior charging for love! This is more real than all the love movies I have ever seen, and it is in stark contrast to those fake romances!"

"To truly sacrifice oneself for love and fight with one's life is a different kind of commitment than the usual verbal promise of 'I will love you for ten thousand years'!"

"No wonder they work so hard, it turns out it's their hormones that are burning. This primitive driving force forms a strong contrast with the restraint of civilized society!"

"It was my first time to witness this kind of scene live. It felt more exciting than the animal world. This immersive experience is completely different from watching it through a screen!"

In the valley, the two majestic ibex were like chariots completely ignited by primitive instincts. Every collision of their horns erupted with a dull roar like thunder, and this sound formed a thrilling symphony with the silence of the empty valley.

They entangled and collided, and even tiny sparks flew out when the hard cuticle rubbed against each other. The momentary brightness and the surrounding cold rocks were a confrontation between fire and ice.

Cheese's sapphire eyes were now fixed on the center of the battlefield, and his small body was trembling slightly with excitement. His eagerness to try formed a sharp contrast with his delicate body.

In its innocent world, this might just be an exceptionally intense large-scale game. That innocence and the cruelty of the mountain goats fighting for their lives are two different dimensions.

"Meow!"

A weak but somewhat urgent cry was heard, and Cheese's snow-white little figure suddenly jumped forward, trying to rush towards the two huge monsters. This reckless courage was consistent with its ignorance of danger.

Chen Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and almost at the moment when Cheese moved, his hand that had been tightly holding the trekking pole stretched out like lightning and accurately grabbed the kitten's soft neck. This speed was completely different from his usual calmness.

"Woo!"

Da Huang also took action at the same time. He stretched his huge body in front of Cheese and gave a low warning in his throat. The tension in his voice, like he was protecting his calf, was completely different from his usual indulgence towards Cheese.

Cheese was held in the air, its four little paws still flapping around and it made dissatisfied "meow" sounds from its mouth. The grievance on its face was completely different from its "bravery" just now.

Chen Chuan gently placed the cheese on his broad shoulders and rubbed its furry little head with his chin, comforting this ignorant little guy. This gentle action was two extremes compared to the murderous aura that permeated the valley.

He knew clearly that for the real top predators in this snowy mountain, such as snow leopards, the two bloody ibexes in front of him might just be the main course on the menu. The calmness at the top of the food chain and the desperate fight of the ibexes at this moment were completely different survival logics.

It is probably difficult for snow leopards to understand why this prey, which can usually be killed with a precise throat lock, can burst out with such amazing energy. The hunter's perspective and the hunted's desperate situation are two different perceptions.

The comments in the live broadcast room became lively again because of this sudden scene.

"Oh my god, does Cheese want to stop the fight or join it? His small body forms a strong contrast with those two giant beasts!"

"Brother Chuan reacted quickly! Da Huang was also very brave! They cooperated perfectly to stop the leader of a suicide squad. This tacit understanding is completely different from their daily playfulness."

“Hahaha, it’s true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Cheese is so brave, it’s much bigger than him, which forms a sharp contrast with us viewers who are trembling with fear even through the screen.” “Snow Leopard: What’s there to be afraid of sheep? It’s just food. Cheese: That’s right, it looks like a lot of fun! This cognitive bias and cruel reality are two different worlds.”

At this moment, the two mountain goats on the battlefield gathered all their strength again. They took a few steps back, and their heavy hooves dug deep grooves between the snow and gravel. The posture of gathering strength and the violence of the impending explosion formed a terrifying omen.

"Boom——!!!"

A crash louder and heavier than any before suddenly exploded, like a battering ram hitting the indestructible city gate.

The sound penetrated the drone's microphone. Even through the screen, the audience in the live broadcast room seemed to feel the force that shook the mountains. Their eardrums buzzed and their hearts skipped a beat. The pure transmission of power and the virtual medium created a real shock.

Snow foam and gravel were scattered by the huge impact force. The violent scene formed an extreme conflict with the silence on the top of the mountain.

After that extreme impact, there was a short, suffocating silence, which formed a sharp break from the previous continuous roar.

The huge body of one of the mountain goats shook, and the will that supported it in a desperate fight seemed to be completely drained away at this moment, and it was completely different from the ferocious and fearless appearance it had just shown.

Its eyes, which originally flashed with ferocity, were now covered with a layer of dimness, and the fighting spirit that was still burning in the opponent's eyes caused its vitality to decline.

"Boom."

There was another slight muffled sound, and the ibex's sturdy limbs could no longer support its heavy body. It fell to its knees on the ground, stirring up a cloud of snow. This powerless collapse was completely different from its previous upright posture.

The winner, the male ibex with no blood on his forehead and a still strong breath, did not immediately pursue.

It just stood there, raising its scimitar-like horns high, and let out a roar that pierced the clouds and split the rocks at the empty valley. The sound was full of primitive declarations and endless pride, and the faint echo in the valley was an echo of dominance and submission.

It slowly turned around and cast its gaze toward the snow-covered mountains in the distance. Its posture was full of the arrogance and contempt of a king, which was completely different from the image of it fighting savagely just now.

The drone's camera captured this scene perfectly, and the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded again.

"Fuck! Is this the posture of a winner? Too domineering, completely different from the special effects in those movies!"

"The true king of the mountain speaks with strength. This is a pure competition from the intrigues of human society!"

"Is it looking at its own country? At this moment, it feels like the entire snowy mountain belongs to it. This aura forms a wonderful sublimation with its identity as an animal."

Just as everyone in the live broadcast room was amazed, the ibex that was kneeling on the ground suddenly became limp and collapsed completely on the snow, motionless, forming a contrast between life and death with the victor's high-spirited posture.

Its huge body began to slide slowly down the steep snow slope. The silent fall was completely different from the impact that had just shaken the valley.

The accumulated snow was pressed into a deep groove beneath it. The fragile snow surface was unable to stop the heavy body from falling, and it and the hardness of the rock were two obstacles.

It rolled over, its limbs spread out weakly, and the giant horns that were once full of power had now lost all their deterrent power, completely different from the weapons it had just used to fight for its life.

In a blink of an eye, the figure of the ibex disappeared around the corner of the valley, leaving behind only a shocking trail of snow, forming an abrupt scar against the surrounding pure white snow.

Cheese twisted restlessly on Chen Chuan's shoulder, making a slight "woohoo" sound in his throat. That anxiety was completely different from the excitement he had just felt when watching the fun.

Dahuang also relaxed a little from his alert state, but his eyes were still fixed on the direction where the ibex disappeared. That vigilance was different from his usual laziness.

Chen Chuan's brows were tightly locked, the brutal fight between the two mountain goats was still vivid in his mind. The situation of the loser was obviously not optimistic at the moment, and this speculation was consistent with his rich experience in the wild.

Without any hesitation, he clenched the trekking pole in his hand and said to the audience behind the drone camera in a deep voice: "I'll go down and take a look."

This brief decision, with an unquestionable firmness, had a different weight from his usual casual tone.

Upon hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room expressed their concerns.

"Brother Chuan, be careful! The situation down there is unclear. It is completely different from the open environment on the top of the mountain!"

"Will the sheep die from the fall? Falling from such a high place is no different from falling from a building."

"Is the anchor going to rescue? This is a change from his previous role as just an observer."

Chen Chuan did not respond to the barrage. He had already begun to move carefully down along the traces left by the ibex. The steep snow slope and his steady steps formed a display of his skills.

The skid mark deeply embedded in the snow slope was like a hideous wound on the earth, silently telling of the fall just now. It was in a completely different state from the undisturbed snow surface around it.

Chen Chuan's trekking pole accurately penetrated into the thick snow every time, looking for a solid support point. This caution formed a delicate balance with his eagerness to find out the situation.

The snow under his feet was extremely unstable, and any carelessness could cause a small-scale landslide. This potential danger and his steady body were a contest of strength and skill.

Da Huang was not far in front of him, using all four limbs and sticking his body to the snow slope. He moved with the agility unique to wild beasts, which was different from the climbing method of humans who use tools.

Cheese was still lying steadily on Chen Chuan's shoulder, his little paws tightly grasping his collar, his sapphire eyes reflecting the valley below which was getting closer and closer. The nervousness was completely different from his usual playful jumping around.

The mountain wind blew up from the valley floor, bringing with it a stronger chill that made people’s cheeks ache. This biting coldness clashed with their bodies, which were slightly heated by exercise. (End of this chapter)
