Chapter 14 Feed the red fox, reward: mosquito barrier! Chen Chuan could imagine that the former forest ranger accidentally encountered this red fox near the cabin and established friendship with it. He took out a bowl not far away and fed some food here for three meals a day. Gradually, the rangers got used to the red foxes, and the red foxes got used to the rangers. But suddenly one day, the ranger left the forest, but the red fox didn't realize it. Every day when I come here, I can only see the cabin with the closed door, and I can't see the familiar figure from the past. Finally, one day the cabin was opened, but the red fox did not see the man, did not smell the familiar scent, and there was no extra food in the bowl. It hesitated until the next night before it dared to approach the cabin. Chen Chuan lowered his voice. "Don't be afraid. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Chen Chuan stretched out his hand, and this time his movements were very slow. After all, he was taking away someone else's food, so he had to try to appear warmer. "Woo~" But as expected, the red fox grabbed the bowl in its arms, stared at Chen Chuan with its green eyes, and let out a low growl from its throat. Seeing the red fox in such a state, Chen Chuan was helpless. "No, Miss Fox, you came here so late at night, you must be hungry. I want to make you something to eat and wash the bowl for you, just give me the bowl." "I am a 7-foot-tall man, a human being who walks on two feet. Do I have to fight with you for a bowl?" Red Fox:!!! What does this human mean? He barked at me so many times. Is he preparing to attack me? "Ugh." Chen Chuan sighed and stood up. "In that case, don't force me to bring Erha here." He turned around and took a step towards the cabin. The red fox's ears perked up, not knowing what this human was trying to do. Chen Chuan counted down in his mind. "3...2...1!" He turned his head sharply. "Wang Wang!" Hearing this, Daimao in the bird's nest stood up slightly and cast a puzzled look over here. Strange, when did a dog appear in this forest? Erha poked his head out from behind the wooden house, his clear eyes revealing stupidity. Strange, could it be that the owner has more than one dog? The red fox stepped back in fear and cast a fearful look at Chen Chuan.
Strange, when did humans become dogs? Seeing that the red fox no longer protected its porcelain bowl, Chen Chuan acted quickly, with quick eyes and hands, as fast as lightning and as agile as a rabbit. He ducked down and snatched the bowl from his hand. He turned and ran away, aiming for the back of the cabin. "Wow~" Seeing this, how could the red fox bear it? The desire for the bowl immediately took over the timid high ground and ran towards Chen Chuan. When it ran to the back of the cabin, it saw the hateful human figure and wanted to pounce on him immediately. "Wang." But a mild dog bark immediately stopped its impulse. The red fox turned its head slightly and just happened to see the dog head of Erha. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. The red fox wanted to take back its bowl, but due to the shepherd dog's power, it was as if it was under a spell and couldn't move. It looked up at Chen Chuan for a while and saw him bullying its bowl. It turned around and looked at Erha and saw that he was still staring at it casually. The red fox regretted that he should not have come tonight. Now, both the fox and the cat were empty-handed. Chen Chuan was washing the dishes while watching the scene below him. In a way, he was now a man relying on the power of a dog. I can't cure you, but can't Erha cure you? After washing the bowl, Chen Chuan shook off the water and wiped it dry. Then he opened the cupboard, put some rice into the bowl, and then poured the remaining stir-fried meat and vegetables into it. It is worth mentioning that the temperature in Altay is not high at night, which is the case all year round. Food will not spoil if left at night. Of course, there is the risk of ice in winter. Chen Chuan bent down and placed the bowl in front of the red fox. While the fox was being controlled by Erha's momentum, he stretched out his claws and smoothed the red fox's body. After a long time, the red fox was comforted by humans, and its body slowly relaxed and it was no longer nervous. "Eat it. Erha won't do anything to you." At this time, the Husky was also very cooperative. Even though the food was placed in front of it, it didn't show any intention of opening its mouth to taste it. Instead, it simply closed its eyes and fell asleep in front of the red fox. In this way, the red fox felt more at ease. It raised its head, glanced at Chen Chuan, carefully picked up the bowl, and moved it to a nearby place. It seems that the fox can't even eat when staying next to the Husky. The red fox also realized that the human Chen Chuan had no ill intentions and would feed itself food just like the previous ranger. It called out to Chen Chuan with gratitude, lowered its head and started eating. Red foxes, like domestic dogs, are omnivores. Although they prefer meat, they will not refuse oily dishes.
Chen Chuan watched it eat and a smile appeared on his face. Just now, when I was soothing the red fox with my hands, the system responded as soon as I touched the red fox. [Congratulations to the host for lighting up the rare animal illustration: red fox. ] [Reward: Mosquito Barrier (gives out a special scent that only mosquitoes can sense, making them afraid to get close to you, a must-have in summer) Red Fox Affinity +5. ] As for this reward, Chen Chuan could only say that it really hit his heart. With such a special scent, you no longer have to worry about mosquito bites, a major obstacle of living in the mountains and forests. Moreover, this seemed to be a passive skill that did not need to be triggered actively, but would always be effective. It could be said that he no longer had to fear poisonous mosquitoes in the future. This system is good. It would be better to give out more rewards like this in the future. With the blessing of affinity, Chen Chuan walked up to the red fox, stretched out his hand, stroked its hair, and peeled off the leaves and weeds on its body. The red fox also enjoyed this process. It ate its meal and was no longer on guard against Chen Chuan as before. "Eh?" Suddenly, Chen Chuan carefully observed that the red fox's belly seemed a little big. In other words, there is a noticeable bulge. Is this a female red fox? And she's pregnant? This thought flashed through my mind, and the next moment, the system popped up. [A pregnant wild red fox has been detected. Mission: Take care of the mother red fox until she gives birth to cubs.] Chen Chuan was stunned. How do I describe this task? He touched the red fox's head, and the red fox called out affectionately. "Wow~" This should be the longest and most difficult task. Although there was some relevant knowledge in the ranger badge, it was the first time for Chen Chuan to take care of animals giving birth. (End of this chapter)
