Chapter 349: Chapter 346: Did the Chubby Snow Leopard Take the Initiative to Cling On?

The three of them looked at the Snow Leopard on the rock.

It was only when they approached this mountaintop that they noticed the Snow Leopard had two little cubs following behind.

Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun immediately began recording video.

Snow Leopards are incredibly rare, especially wild ones.

Even footage of Snow Leopards captured by infrared cameras can go viral.

Let alone the fact they are filming on-site now.

Next, Liu Jianjun and the others went to set up cameras.

"It spotted us!"

"Make sure not to disturb them."

Liu Jianjun noticed the Snow Leopard watching them intently and quickly said.

Zhang Wen nodded.

Jiang Feng didn’t say anything, he just kept recording the video, while narrating:

"We’ve discovered traces of the Snow Leopard, a live one, one big and two cubs."

"Snow Leopards are quite adorable animals, with a style reminiscent of huskies, always a bit silly."

"However, they’re quite skilled hunters; some North Mountain Goats or Rock Sheep perched on cliffs can get pounced on by Snow Leopards."

"These creatures are the true monarchs of the highland snowy regions."

Jiang Feng filmed the Snow Leopard on the rock with his phone.

He was using a Huawei phone, which captures clear images even from a distance.

At this moment, Jiang Feng saw the female Leopard suddenly stand up, stretch comfortably with a yawn, then started running towards him.

Jiang Feng kept his phone held up.

In the recorded video, the Snow Leopard was running towards him.

"It seems to be coming towards me."

"It’s running quite slowly, doesn’t seem like it’s hunting."

Jiang Feng’s voice echoed from the captured video.

At this point, Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun, who were afar, noticed the scene as well.

They forgot about setting up the cameras and just held their cameras, filming the scene from another angle.

Jiang Feng knew, this was the Feline Affinity at play.

He possessed a Feline Affinity skill.

A Mangalitsa had run to his home before, precisely because of this.

Whenever he visited zoos, tigers and leopards would show affection towards him; upon his arrival, they’d approach.

His pet cat at home was the same.

Including Cat Boss’s two sons-in-law, the male calico and the cow cat, although stray cats, they never feared Jiang Feng.

Now, after seeing Jiang Feng, the Snow Leopard sensed the affinity in Jiang Feng’s aura and wanted to come check him out.

Jiang Feng could only sigh:

This damned charisma that can’t be contained.

The mother Leopard trotted over, with two little Leopards scampering behind.

The cubs were even more adorable, cuddly and cute, making anyone feel refreshed upon seeing them.

Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun were so astonished they couldn’t speak.

Then, they watched as the Snow Leopard ran in front of Jiang Feng, looking naively at him.

Jiang Feng held his phone, capturing the big face of the Snow Leopard.

The Snow Leopard let out a call:

"Meow~"

The sound of the Snow Leopard had none of the authority of a tiger’s roar, due to their different vocal structures; it sounded like a cat, but hoarser.

"Meow~"

The Snow Leopard cried again.

The two cubs hid behind the mother Leopard’s tail, poking their little heads out curiously at Jiang Feng.

Standing at a distance, Zhang Wen was astonished by the sight.

Holy moly!

What kind of joke is this?

A wild Snow Leopard actively approaching humans?

Is this truly the essence of nature’s child?

During the time he’s been with Jiang Feng, Zhang Wen felt his worldview being completely refreshed.

Yet everything was truly happening.

No explanation could be found.

Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch the Snow Leopard’s head.

In truth, Jiang Feng was somewhat concerned; he worried the Snow Leopard might perceive humans as friendly and could easily be exploited by criminals.

Jiang Feng always thought extensively.

But his concerns had merit.

Nonetheless, these were just needless worries; the Snow Leopard simply trusted him.

Seeing Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun, it would still act vigilant and menacing.

As Zhang Wen approached, the Snow Leopard immediately turned and ran.

The disdain on its face was unmistakable.

Seeing this, Zhang Wen had to stop in place.

The Snow Leopard family in front of him was just too adorable.

Jiang Feng stroked the Snow Leopard’s big face, soft, fluffy and furry.

The Snow Leopard tilted its head upwards, looking completely relaxed.

At the same time, the two little Snow Leopards were playfully nibbling at Jiang Feng’s pant cuffs.

They weren’t afraid of Jiang Feng either.

Jiang Feng held his phone, recording the Snow Leopard family’s activities, documenting everything from a first-person perspective.

With his vet skills, he evaluated:

"The cubs are chubby, indicating good health."

"Judging by the mother Leopard’s demeanor, she’s doing well too."

"They live here without any problems."

The Snow Leopard stayed beside Jiang Feng for a long time.

The whole family wasn’t leaving.

Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun set up the infrared cameras, but didn’t go near.

The infrared cameras were placed in rock crevices, embedded to prevent rain and snow damage.

After setting them up, the two waited for Jiang Feng.

The patrol still needed to continue.

Jiang Feng signaled them to go first, while he trailed behind.

So, Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun continued to patrol according to the planned route.

Jiang Feng walked along, the Snow Leopard following beside him.

Just like accompanying a companion.

After walking a certain distance, the Snow Leopard stopped.

Jiang Feng knew they had reached the spot.

Even though they only spent a little over two hours together, this unique experience left a deep impression on Jiang Feng.

"Meow~ Meow~"

The mother Snow Leopard raised her neck and called twice.

Jiang Feng waved his hand at her.

Then, they parted ways.

Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun waited for Jiang Feng to come over, and upon seeing him approach, they said:

"Master Jiang, how exactly did you do it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng chuckled and replied:

"I don’t know, I’ve been like this since I was young. On the grasslands, when I call some cats and dogs, they all come to me."

"Even some Wild Rabbits and pheasants aren’t afraid of me."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Zhang Wen and Liu Jianjun could only silently marvel.

The subsequent patrol process was very calm.

They walked around this area for three days in total.

Saw wild Snow Leopards, wild Sika Deer, and Reindeer, as well as Snow Chickens, Viscacha, Mangalitsa, and such.

After descending the mountain, when there was signal, Jiang Feng edited the Snow Leopard video and posted it online.

Having not live-streamed for a while, the video update naturally drew a swarm of old fans.

Upon seeing the Snow Leopard family actively come over in the video, the viewers were dumbfounded.

Jiang Feng captioned it "Three days of patrolling, indeed saw Snow Leopards, they’re in great condition."

Once the video was released, its popularity soared, quickly topping trending searches.

Snow Leopard, a national first-class protected animal, and a very rare one at that.

In Kung Fu Panda’s first movie, the Snow Leopard appeared as a villain, second only to the panda in importance.

Nowadays, pandas are more common, with many videos online.

But Snow Leopards are truly a rare sight.

This time, Jiang Feng personally filmed them, whether fans or not, anyone seeing the Snow Leopard video would watch it through.

Especially seeing the Snow Leopards approach Jiang Feng, it seemed astonishing.

"Is Master Jiang up the mountains petting Snow Leopards?"

"Are we sure this isn’t special effects? Wild Snow Leopards actively coming over for pets?"

"The meowing is so cute, it must be fake!"

"Whenever the Master isn’t streaming, he’s up to something big!"

The comment section instantly became chaotic.

But many still felt it was unbelievable.

Soon, the Ximeng Grassland and Forest Bureau also released related videos, even making it into news.

"Recently, Ximeng League foresters and the head of a civilian wildlife protection center, Mr. Jiang, discovered traces of Snow Leopards in a certain high plateau mountain range, including one mother and two cubs."

"The Snow Leopard’s mental state is good, indicating current ecological diversity is being restored."

In the related video, Jiang Feng is seen petting the Snow Leopard, with the two cubs nibbling at his pants, while he filmed with his phone.

This was filmed by Zhang Wen and the others.

Once the news was out, it solidified the story.

From another perspective, viewers finally saw how delighted Jiang Feng truly was.

Everyone began discussing again.

Why did the Snow Leopards actively seek Jiang Feng for pets?

It’s just too enviable.

That evening, Jiang Feng returned to the courtyard and started a live stream.

A large group of fans stormed into his live room to confirm the events.

"I didn’t expect it, the Snow Leopards suddenly ran up to me."

"As I saw it before me, I reached out and touched it."

"Who’d have thought it wouldn’t leave."

"This plump leopard, with a silver gradient, I really like it."

"I just pinched its face."

"The tactile feedback is amazing, very soft."

Jiang Feng held Cat Boss in his arms, vividly describing the scene at that time.

[Damn, it’s too envy-inducing!]

[Master, you’re kinda asking to be hit like this!]

[I’m dying of envy, I also want to touch a Snow Leopard’s face!]

[Comparing people is infuriating, others are touching Snow Leopards, I don’t even have a cat.]

The Snow Leopard is chubby, but its body is very agile, most remarkable is its fluffy, long tail.

Overall, it gives off a springy sensation.

Among feline animals, it counts as possessing a rather unique aura.

Whether seeing it or touching it, is an extraordinary enjoyment.
