(What was the streamer doing? Did he want to get closer to the Giant Panda?)

"Everyone, if I'm not mistaken, this is a female Giant Panda. The reason she's so agitated is most likely because she's about to give birth."

The moment Lin Xuan said that, it instantly caused an uproar in the livestream room!

(Oh my God, that's a female panda? And she's about to have cubs?)

(No wonder the Giant Panda is so restless. In the wild, if she can't give birth smoothly, she could be in danger too.)

(Yeah, the wild isn't like a zoo. At least in a zoo, there won't be any danger, but who can say for sure in the wild?)

As Lin Xuan moved forward, he explained the situation to the viewers. However, as he got closer, he slowed his steps, doing his best not to alarm Panda Mother.

Giant Pandas might look adorable, but they were still bears!

If you were in the wild and let their appearance fool you into suddenly approaching them, you might not even know how you died.

Even in zoos, keepers had to be extremely careful around Giant Pandas.

It wasn't as if there had never been news of Giant Pandas attacking zookeepers.

When he was still five hundred meters away from the Giant Panda, Lin Xuan stopped.

The Giant Panda had clearly stopped moving and looked in Lin Xuan's direction. She had obviously noticed him.

"Woo, woo~~~"

As the viewers watched in confusion, the Giant Panda let out a series of squeaks.

To the viewers in the livestream room, those squeaks might have been a warning for Lin Xuan not to come any closer.

(Panda Mother noticed the streamer. She's probably warning him not to get any closer, right?)

(Don't be fooled by how cute Giant Pandas are. Their attack power is terrifying—they're bears, after all.)

(If she suddenly attacks the streamer, that'd be way too dangerous!)

(Yeah, yeah. Streamer, don't get any closer. Let's back off and watch from afar so Panda Mother can give birth peacefully.)

Everyone was deeply worried. They certainly hoped to see the Giant Panda safely give birth to her cubs, but human life came first.

They couldn't possibly lose a life just to watch a Giant Panda give birth in the wild, could they?

No matter what, human life was the most important thing!

Yet from the Giant Panda's squeaks, Lin Xuan heard a different meaning.

This Giant Panda was actually asking him for help!

"Save me! Save my child!!"

Lin Xuan understood that this was the effect of the Beast Language Skill, allowing him to gain a basic understanding through animals' cries.

Sensing that Panda Mother held no hostility toward him, Lin Xuan relaxed considerably.

But he believed that no matter what, he still had to proceed carefully.

He set down the backpack on his back and took out protective gear from inside.

A helmet with a reinforced face shield, a thick neck guard, gloves, arm guards, and more.

Lin Xuan was naturally very familiar with this protective gear.

Although he had the Beast Language Skill and the Animal Affinity Skill, Lin Xuan still decided to approach in protective gear, just to be safe.

After putting on the gear, Lin Xuan slung his backpack over his shoulders again and slowly walked toward Panda Mother.

(No way, what is the streamer doing?)

(Streamer, let's not get any closer. Just let the Giant Panda give birth in peace!)

(Yeah, streamer, really don't go any closer. It'd be bad if you got hurt.)

(Why does the streamer have to approach? Is he unwilling to let Panda Mother give birth peacefully just for views?)

(Yeah, this kind of behavior from the streamer is disgusting!)

The viewers who had originally been worried about the streamer's safety saw that he was ignoring their advice. They immediately started hammering at their keyboards and sending nasty comments.

(What are you all making such a fuss for? The streamer must have his reasons for approaching the Giant Panda.)

(This is a national treasure, and the streamer is on camera. Even if he hurt the Giant Panda, where could he run?)

(Exactly. Everyone should be rational. I'm sure the streamer will explain it to us in a moment!)

After being reminded by other viewers, the few people who had sent those nasty comments felt a little embarrassed.

That was right. This was a national treasure, and the stream was live. If the streamer really harmed Panda Mother, he wouldn't be able to get away with it. He'd be wearing silver handcuffs by then.

They had watched the streamer a few times before, after all. He really did seem to like small animals.

Following the camera, Lin Xuan came before Panda Mother. He slowly crouched beside her without directly touching her body.

Instead, he carefully placed his hand in front of the Giant Panda's nose.

Lin Xuan's action made the viewers in the livestream room break out in cold sweat.

(Has the streamer gone crazy? He put his hand in front of a Giant Panda's nose. Isn't he afraid she'll suddenly bite him?)

(With a bear's bite force, one bite and the streamer's hand would probably be gone!)

At that moment, a viewer named Ink Plum Like Painting posted a comment in the livestream room: (You don't understand. The streamer is doing this to gain the Giant Panda's trust and let her get used to his scent.)

(But reaching out his hand like that was far too rash. It's much too risky.)

After Ink Plum Like Painting explained it, the other viewers in the livestream room understood.

But their worries did not lessen.

Then, in the next instant, a scene that left them utterly stunned appeared.

The Giant Panda laboriously raised her head, gently sniffed Lin Xuan's hand, then even stuck out her tongue and licked it.

???

Seeing this, Ink Plum Like Painting commented: (It seems our streamer has successfully gained the Giant Panda's trust. Otherwise, a Giant Panda about to give birth wouldn't behave like this.)

(Still, streamer or not, if any of you encounter a Giant Panda in the wild, don't imitate him. It's far too dangerous!)

Ink Plum Like Painting explained again, while also reminding the viewers not to imitate him.

After licking Lin Xuan's hand, the Giant Panda let out a soft whimper and actually exposed her entire belly to him.

At this point, even without Ink Plum Like Painting's explanation, the viewers understood. This Giant Panda had absolutely no aggression toward the streamer and, judging by her behavior, trusted him completely.

It felt as if their entire worldview had been shattered.

Didn't they say wild Giant Pandas were highly aggressive?

At that moment, Lin Xuan spoke as well.

His voice was soft and gentle. "Bear with it for a moment. Let me check your condition."

Lin Xuan reached out and gently felt the Giant Panda's belly. Very quickly, his expression changed.

"Everyone, the reason I approached this Giant Panda was because I noticed through the drone that she was likely having a difficult birth."

"Now that I've examined her, I've found that it's the most dangerous kind of difficult birth: a transverse lie."
