Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Luring the Enemy into the Trap

After the Snow Pigeons and I unearthed all possible clues, Xu Ying said to Professor Ye and the others, “During my days on the Snow Mountain, I will ask the small animals about the whereabouts of these illegal harvesters, hoping to find their trail.”

Professor Ye, seeing Xu Ying’s sincerity, repeatedly expressed gratitude, “Little Xu Station Chief, thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome!”

Xu Ying then informed Professor Ye and Qin Yan of the location of the Snow Lotus Valley, as told by the Snow Cleaning Weasels.

“Everyone, I have an idea. Although it’s a bit risky, it might lure these harvesters to reveal themselves.”

Qin Yan and others expressed their willingness to listen carefully.

After hearing Xu Ying’s plan, Qin Yan and Professor Ye exchanged glances, “This method is worth a try. Let me report it to our superiors first!”

In the following days, while Xu Ying asked the Snow Pigeons to help collect Snow Lotus and send it to the management room, she followed leads and discovered that the group headed northwest after coming down the mountain.

There was a clue provided by the Snow Fox that during the Snow Lotus picking, these people complained about the food, saying that after going down the mountain they wanted to have a feast at Brother Hu’s barbecue, missing the couple’s cooking skills.

Xu Ying passed this clue to the police, to find Brother Hu’s Barbecue in the northwest town, and the owners were a married couple.

Meanwhile, Xu Ying had Snow Cleaning Weasels, carrying micro-cameras, enter the Snow Lotus Valley they mentioned to film the interior scenery.

At the center of the valley, on a broad gentle slope, clusters of Snow Lotus quietly bloomed. Their petals were white as snow, layered like intricate jade carvings, with a faint yellow-green hue in the center. The Snow Lotus leaves were thick and wide, lying close to the ground; in the eyes of the illegal harvesters, these were akin to a field of cash.

After editing, Xu Ying posted a video of sending the Snow Cleaning Weasels back to the Snow Mountain, featuring not only the weasels but a large part of the beautiful landscape of the Snow Lotus Valley.

She said in the video, “Sending the little animals caught by the fur farm back to Snow Mountain, they took me to see the beautiful scenery of Snow Lotus Valley, it’s so beautiful, make a wish, and may all your dreams come true, wishing you peace every year!”

“Furthermore, the West Mountain Snow Lotus is a nationally protected plant of the second level. If you’re lucky to encounter it while hiking, just take pictures and check-ins, please don’t touch it~”

In the video, Xu Ying captured the entirety of the surrounding Snow Mountains. If someone were diligent enough to determine the location based on the position of the sun, the time, and the surrounding peaks, they could pinpoint the filming location.

Xu Ying’s followers now exceeded a million, and she was already very popular online. Plus, the cute Snow Cleaning Weasels in the video added to the charm.

In the video, they hopped around in the snow like battery-powered plush toys, with long black whiskers dusted with particles, lively and adorable.

Xu Ying’s video, set in the West Mountain, quickly went viral, garnering three hundred thousand likes in just one day.

Meanwhile, the news about the Snow Lotus Valley being in the core area of the West Mountain spread in several counties and cities in the northwest region of the West Mountain.

Now, all that’s left is to see if those covetous illegal harvesters will take the risk after seeing the video.

Previously, the West Mountain’s management staff was inadequate, but now, with Xu Ying sending 164 small Snow Mountain animals home, the situation at the West Mountain has changed.

Near the Snow Lotus Valley, seven Snow Cleaning Weasels took on the role of intelligence agents.

[Station Chief, we’ve rallied all the allies we could gather to stand guard near the Snow Lotus!]

[Any slight disturbance can’t escape the eyes of the little birds on Snow Mountain~]

At this moment, a Snow Cleaning Weasel dashed over from the snowy ground, then stood upright: [Station Chief, the Snow Mountain Security Team reporting!]

Xu Ying looked behind the Snow Cleaning Weasel and saw the Snow Leopard Family in the snow, accompanied by Snow Wolves, Brown Bears, and Wild Boars.

The Snow Wolves’ fur was as snow-white and dense as a crescent moon, with long, delicate faces, their amber eyes slightly upturned at the corners, exuding a noble, aloof aura, almost excessively handsome, reminding Xu Ying of the Little White Wolf from “Pleasant Goat and Big Gray Wolf.”

The most striking was the Wolf King leading them. It was almost half a person’s height, with lush fur and a massive build, giving off a sense of warmth just by looking at it, yet its cold face seemed unapproachable.

The Snow Leopards’ fur was gray and white, covered with rosette patterns, their beautiful blue eyes were reminiscent of the lakes among the Snow Mountains. Compared to the cheetah, the Snow Leopard’s tail was thicker and fluffier, the same length as their bodies, like an oversized cat toy.

The mighty group of beasts, estimated to be thirty to forty strong, exuded an intimidating presence, so much that Xu Ying couldn’t help swallowing, my goodness, this isn’t a security team, it’s practically a battalion of wild special forces.

Among the batch of furry creatures rescued from the fur farm were three Snow Leopards and four Snow Wolves, so it’s not surprising to find the Snow Leopard and Snow Wolf families here.

What puzzled Xu Ying was why the Brown Bears and Wild Boars were tagging along?

She quietly asked the Snow Cleaning Weasel, “How did you manage to invite these new reinforcements?”

[Well, you humans have a term for it, just stirring the pot.]

[We told the Brown Bears that there were humans planning to steal Snow Lotus from the valley, claiming that the mountain’s Brown Bears and Leopards were nothing, too scared to even make a sound in front of these brave ones.]

[We told the Wild Boars that someone mocked their tusks as the ugliest in the world, as hideous as buckteeth, which made the Wild Boars angrily inquire about the whereabouts of these arrogant people, intruding on their territory and even mocking them. I just said these people would appear in Snow Lotus Valley to pick Snow Lotus.]

[These two types of animals are simple-minded muscle-bound big fellows. We said a few words, and they got angry~]

The Snow Cleaning Weasels nonchalantly narrated their pot-stirring process.

Xu Ying’s pupils dilated; the more she observed these white creatures, the more deviously clever they appeared!

She could distinctly feel the personality difference between the Snow Cleaning Weasels and the Little Ear Foxes. The fox cubs were soft, adorable, clever, and clingy;

The Snow Cleaning Weasels were little devils with pure exteriors but malicious hearts, just like the black tip on their white tails, with white being merely their disguise.

At that moment, a few majestic calls echoed in the sky. Xu Ying looked up and saw the birds of prey, Golden Eagles.

“Wow, you guys really have extensive connections.”

“How did you manage to stir the Golden Eagles into action?”

However, just moments ago, the Snow Cleaning Weasels, who were still proud of their successful pot-stirring scheme, were now huddled fearfully behind Xu Ying, frantically scuffling their little paws in the snow, trying to blend into the pristine snowy landscape.

[No, they’re here to get us!!]

[Quick, quick, Station Chief, please shield us!]
