I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 170 Thanks to Old Wang
Aside from the man in the baseball cap and the skinny guy, the third man didn't speak. He looked very composed, like a veteran.

The three lifted the covering and crawled into the hole one by one.

Xu Ying's palms were sweating as she dialed the police, but she didn't know if there was magnetic interference here, as her phone had no signal.

She decided to first photograph the crime scenes of these tomb raiders, and then send the evidence to the police once she found a place with a signal.

Xu Ying carefully circled around to the other side of the cave entrance, intending to photograph the details of the SUV, but unexpectedly discovered several items scattered on the sand beside the vehicle—

A broken pottery jar, a few rusted copper coins, and a piece of jade about half the size of a palm gleamed with a warm, bluish light in the sunlight.

Xu Ying approached the jade on the ground and zoomed in on the details with her phone. The jade was exquisitely carved into the shape of a reclining deer looking back, with tiny rubies inlaid in the deer's eyes.

This piece of jade didn't look like an ordinary object. Xu Ying put on gloves and carefully picked up the jade and put it into a transparent bag.

At that moment, Shanfeng suddenly nudged her back with his head, urging her to leave.

As Xu Ying retreated towards where she had parked her car, she heard shouts coming from inside the cave: "There are people outside!"

Oops!

Xu Ying didn't expect that the other party would come out again after entering the tomb. They must have found her footprints!
Xu Ying, disregarding the need to hide, jumped onto the motorcycle and started the engine.

The mountain peak seemed to understand the urgency of the situation and began to run, at a speed far exceeding that of a normal camel.

The mountain peak sped ahead of Xu Ying's motorcycle, as if leading the way for her.

Angry curses and the roar of engines came from behind; the thieves had caught up!

Xu Ying twisted the throttle to the floor, and the motorcycle crawled along the soft sand.

In the rearview mirror, the SUV was approaching, kicking up clouds of dust.

Just at the critical moment, the mountain suddenly turned and rushed towards a seemingly unremarkable sand slope.

Xu Ying hesitated for a moment, then decided to trust the camel's intuition and followed its turn.

As she approached the sand dune, she was surprised to find that it was actually the entrance to a hidden canyon, only wide enough for one car to pass through.

The terrain inside the canyon was complex. Xu Ying followed the mountain peaks, turning left and right. The pursuers behind him were obviously unfamiliar with the route, and the sound of their engines gradually faded into the distance.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Ying finally shook off her pursuers and stopped to rest in the shade under a rock wall.

Xu Ying trembled all over, both from nervousness and from the weight of the jade in her pocket.

She took out the jade and examined it closely. The deer was lifelike, and the ruby ​​eyes seemed to be watching her as if they were alive.

"Is this an antique from hundreds of years ago?"

Xu Ying recalled the exhibition of artifacts from an ancient desert kingdom that she had seen during her previous life when she was conducting wildlife rescue operations in the desert.

Such exquisite jade carvings are likely royal items and are priceless.

These tomb raiders couldn't have intentionally left such exquisite jade artifacts lying around the SUV. They probably turned back from the tomb entrance because they found the jade and came back to retrieve it, which is how they discovered their footprints.

Xu Ying looked around.

This area was likely formed by ancient river erosion, but later, due to drought and the disappearance of surface rivers, these underground canyons were buried under sandstorms.

"Shanfeng, thank you so much for your help this time, otherwise things would have been very troublesome!"

The Bactrian camel's eyes were filled with worry: [This canyon has only one exit; I wonder if the other side is lying in wait at the canyon entrance.]
[If they find this place, we'll be in danger!]
"Don't be afraid, let me see if I can find reinforcements in the canyon."

Xu Ying turned off the car lights and turned on the flashlight, trying to find any traces of biological activity in the underground canyon.

She used her points to redeem a one-hour experience card for speaking all animal languages, so she could discover small animals in the canyon that she had never encountered before.

“Gugua——”

Xu Ying's ears, which had become more sensitive due to her advancement in animal language, heard a sound similar to the croaking of a frog.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw an amphibian that looked like a mud frog, its cheeks bulging as it made a warning sound.

This frog has rough, dry skin covered with ugly wart-like protrusions, and prominent venom glands behind its eyes. Its body is plump, and its short hind limbs make it look particularly clumsy.

This is one of the five poisonous creatures: the toad!
[Alarm! Alarm! A two-legged creature has broken in! Quickly notify everyone to drive this intruder out!]
The toad leaped between the canyon walls and the ground, evading the light from Xu Ying's flashlight.

Two-legged creatures?
Xu Ying couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Was he being referred to as a human?

Soon, a rustling sound echoed in the canyon, like the sound of many creatures wriggling and crawling on the ground, which sent chills down one's spine.

The Bactrian camel sniffed nervously and said to Xu Ying, "[Station Chief Xu, quickly climb onto me. These little desert creatures shouldn't dare to hurt me.]"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying climbed onto the camel's back, and within the range of her powerful flashlight, a dense layer of dark shadows began to creep over.

Xu Ying looked closely and saw that the dark scorpions, geckos, snakes, and toads were crawling towards her in the shadows on the ground and rock walls like a tide, threatening or assuming intimidating fighting postures in her direction.

[Intruders, get out of our territory with this big guy! You're not welcome here.]
[If we don't get out soon, we'll have to use our secret weapon!]
Xu Ying's heart was trembling. She tightened the zipper of her windbreaker, afraid that some of these guys might slip and fall from above.

The scene right now is, without exaggeration, a complete mess of all kinds of evil!
"Don't panic, everyone. We just encountered some thieves who were digging holes to steal things, so we fled here to hide for a while."

Xu Ying looked around at the poisonous creatures everywhere and suddenly felt a tightness in her throat.

"I am Xu Ying, the director of Desert Rescue Station 032. I am good friends with Old Wang, the king cobra. I wonder if any of you know him?"

Xu Ying searched for the snakes and then quickly pulled up a video he had taken of Old King Cobra.

King Cobra Lao Wang, who was eager to find a partner, disappeared without a trace after finding one during a mouse-catching operation, without even mentioning inviting me to a wedding banquet or anything like that.

However, before Lao Wang left, Xu Ying knew that Lao Wang had a wide network of connections, so she asked him to help her shoot a video. The video content could prove to other snakes that she was Lao Wang's good friend, which was similar to helping her get a pass.

In the video on Xu Ying's phone, Lao Wang spread its wings and arrogantly coiled itself around Xu Ying's wrist, hissing at the camera.

[Dear friends and family of the snake clan, this Station Master Xu is a veterinarian who specializes in treating animals.]
[If you need any help, please look for her; she will help any small animal!]
[Thanks to her, I, a lifelong bachelor, have finally found love!]
