As soon as he entered the living room, Lin Xuan's gaze swept across the floor and he saw the young falcon standing there.

Its pair of dark, shiny eyes remained fixed on Lin Xuan when it noticed he had returned.

"Little guy, how did you get out of the blanket?"

Seeing the young falcon on the floor, Lin Xuan quickly put down the bag in his hand and hurried over.

"Gehe, gehe."

The young falcon made a sound upon seeing Lin Xuan approach.

Lin Xuan reached the young falcon, picked it up from the floor, and placed it back inside the blanket.

"Little guy, your body hasn't recovered yet, you can't move around randomly, understand?"

He covered the young falcon with the blanket and then looked at Xiao Qing beside him. Lin Xuan reached out and gently petted Xiao Qing's head, saying, "Xiao Qing, thank you for taking care of the young falcon at home. You've worked hard."

"Ssss~"

"I bought some insects, do you want some?"

"Food?"

Upon hearing "food," Xiao Qing's eyes lit up.

It had been climbing up and down to get food for the young falcon earlier, and now, hearing about food, Xiao Qing suddenly felt hungry.

However, Lin Xuan wasn't sure if Xiao Qing actually liked mealworms.

He took a small paper cup, went to the living room, opened the lid, and used a small pair of tweezers to pick out a few mealworms, placing them in the cup.

He brought the cup back to the living room and poured a few mealworms onto the countertop.

He wanted to see if Xiao Qing liked this kind of insect.

Xiao Qing crawled in front of the mealworms, looked at them, then opened its mouth and ate one.

While not as delicious as meat, mealworms were plentiful and could satisfy Xiao Qing's hunger.

The young falcon in the blanket, seeing Xiao Qing eating, let out a "gehe" sound, looking as if it wanted to eat too.

(No way, the young falcon just ate so much dried meat, and now it's hungry again?)

(Is it just craving food because it saw Xiao Qing eating?)

(Haha, after Xiao Qing, is the streamer's menagerie gaining another little foodie?)

(Little guy, you want to eat too?)

Hearing the young falcon's calls, Lin Xuan took a mealworm and dangled it in front of it.

Watching the food in Lin Xuan's hand, the young falcon slowly opened its mouth.

Lin Xuan placed the mealworm on the medical pad; he didn't feed it directly into the young falcon's mouth.

After all, it was recovering well now, and it couldn't be spoon-fed forever, right?

One day, it would return to the wild.

The young falcon looked at the mealworm on the medical pad, then directly used its beak to pick it up and eat it.

After feeding them, he fed the panda cub again.

Before leaving home, Lin Xuan had promised Xiao Qing that he would prepare fresh food for it upon his return if it helped take care of the young falcon.

So, he took the young falcon, Xiao Qing, and the panda cub, and they left home together, heading towards the forest.

When they were still more than a hundred meters away from Panda Mother, a bear roar echoed from the distance.

Hearing the sound, Lin Xuan's expression changed. This was clearly Panda Mother's roar.

Could something have happened?

(That bear roar just now sounded like it came from Panda Mother's direction, right?)

(Yes, it was from Panda Mother's direction. Did something happen?)

(Oh no, Panda Mother and the cubs, I hope nothing happens to them!)

Lin Xuan was also very anxious.

Panda Mother wouldn't roar for no reason. She must have encountered some threat, which caused her to cry out.

In the jungle, Lin Xuan ran with the panda cub, Xiao Qing, and the young falcon.

When they were about ten meters away from Panda Mother, Lin Xuan saw that several wolves had appeared around her!

These five wolves were of medium build, well-proportioned, with slender limbs, and walked on their toes, which aided in fast running. Their heads were pointed, their faces long, their noses prominent, and their ears pointed and erect.

Their canine and carnassial teeth were well-developed. The upper molars had distinct cusps, and the lower molars had a small inner cusp and a posterior cusp. The diameter of the molar crown was greater than the height of the outer incisors.

One of the wolves was slightly larger than the other four, giving it a majestic appearance.

(Damn, it's wolves, and five of them!)

(Oh my god, Panda Mother is facing a wolf pack, what should we do!)

(Yeah, Panda Mother has to protect her cubs. If it were just one wolf, it might be manageable, but this is five!)

(Streamer, what should we do?)

(Don't ask the streamer, the streamer can't do anything when faced with this kind of situation.)

(Yeah, those are wolves, ferocious beasts. They only become more vicious when they're hungry!)

(Even if the streamer goes to help Panda Mother, it might just end up with one outcome.)

(Why don't you just slowly leave, streamer, before the wolf pack notices you?)

Although they really liked Panda Mother and the Panda Cubs, in this situation, they were more worried about the streamer's life.

To lose their life while trying to save the panda family would be too...

Besides, the streamer is alone. Even if they tried to help the panda family, their strength would likely be very weak.

It might be a wasted effort, and they could lose their life in the process.

Seeing the five wolves not attacking Panda Mother yet, Lin Xuan's worry didn't lessen. Just because they weren't attacking now didn't mean they wouldn't attack later.

He slowly backed away, placing the young falcon on a tree trunk. He also hung the Panda Cub's incubator on it.

Then, holding Xiao Qing in his hands, he said, "Xiao Qing, I'm going to help Panda Mother. The young falcon and the Panda Cubs are temporarily in your care. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Hiss hiss~"

Xiao Qing's body coiled around Lin Xuan's arm, clearly disagreeing with him going.

Even though it was a snake, it knew danger. Those were five ferocious wolves. Even if Lin Xuan went, he wouldn't be able to help much.

He would be risking his own life.

So, it completely disagreed.

It wrapped its body around Lin Xuan's arm, not wanting him to leave.

"Be good, listen to me. I promised to take care of the panda family. Now that they're in danger, how can I just stand by and watch?"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I also promised you I'd find you fresh food."

(Wuwu, streamer, don't make any promises like that.)

(Yeah, that's how they film it in TV shows. As soon as someone makes a promise, they die.)

(Streamer, why don't you just not go? It's not worth the risk.)

(Yeah, streamer, listen to us, don't go.)
