Chapter 300 Falling into the trap
Xu Ying was thrilled: "Moreover, red deer have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell; they can even detect the scent of humans a kilometer away. They're practically the perfect guide and bodyguard!"

Upon hearing this praise, the sika deer proudly raised its head, its antlers gleaming with a bronze-like luster in the sunlight.

It walked ahead with graceful steps, its hooves making a crisp sound on the snow, but it walked slowly, as if showing off its beautiful gait and antlers.

Chen Su couldn't help but wonder, so he lowered his voice and asked Xu Ying, "Station Chief Xu, its name is Ma Lu, which has both 'horse' and 'deer' in its name. Shouldn't it run really fast? Why is it running so slowly?"

Xu Ying covered her mouth, laughing as she secretly explained, "Male red deer have a particularly strong desire to perform."

"They are called red deer because they are as big as a small horse and as agile as a deer. The ancients just called them red deer on a whim."

"They sing love songs late at night, emitting deep bass sounds that echo throughout the valley. They also roll around in the mud to fill their bodies with their 'masculine hormones.' In short, they have a strong desire to perform."

I don't understand, and I'm utterly shocked that someone would actually roll around in the mud where they peed on themselves!

The animal world is truly perplexing. Do they think they exude masculinity by acting this way?

Chen Su's lips twitched slightly after listening to Xu Ying's explanation, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he immediately moved away from the deer.

Xu Ying noticed Chen Su's actions and smiled, "The animal guests on our show this morning have all undergone health checks and been bathed, so don't be afraid~"

However, their good fortune didn't last long. After walking for less than five minutes, the deer suddenly stopped and began rubbing its antlers against the ground, making a restless sound.

Chen Su frowned: "Is it uncomfortable somewhere?"

My antlers and head are so itchy!
The red deer whinnied in pain, "[Usually, a little crow would perch on my head and scratch my itch, but it hasn't been around for the past few days.]"
Xu Ying tiptoed closer: "Can I take a look?"

She carefully stroked the red deer's antlers. As a seasoned veterinarian, she knew very well that during the growth period, the surface of the antlers would be covered with a fine hair tissue full of blood vessels and nerves, which is the precious velvet velvet.

At this time, the deer's antlers are extremely sensitive, and it needs to rub against trees frequently to relieve the itching.

But the sensation at her fingertips eased her brow—the antlers of this red deer were completely hardened, smooth and cool to the touch, clearly past their growth period. Xu Ying thoughtfully withdrew her hand: "Your antlers are hardened; they shouldn't be this itchy."

Remembering what Ma Lu had mentioned about the little crows scratching his back, Xu Ying recalled that this was a parasitic relationship. The crows would land on the deer's heads and peck at the parasites on the deer's heads. During the deer's molting season, the crows would also pluck the deer's fur from their heads to collect interest, which they would then use to build their nests.

The elk endured the itching, obediently raising its head, its moist nostrils trembling slightly from restraint.

Xu Ying gently parted the downy hairs at the base of the deer antlers and keenly discovered tiny black insects attached to several red and swollen patches of skin.

"It's a tick."

She immediately pressed the intercom, "Director team, there's an emergency. Could you please send over some veterinary deworming medication and tweezers?"

Chen Su stood beside the deer, his broad hand gently pressing against its neck.

The medical kit was delivered quickly. Xu Ying deftly put on medical gloves and gently but precisely used tweezers to grasp the insect.

"It might hurt a little, just bear with it." She said as she pulled the tick out at a steady 45-degree angle, then sprayed disinfectant.

The sika deer merely twitched its ears slightly, its amber eyes following her movement with curiosity. When the last parasite was removed, the sika deer suddenly shook its head, delighted to find that the itching that had tormented it for days was gone.

It nuzzled Xu Ying's shoulder affectionately with its nose, [You're much better than the little crow!]
Xu Ying patted its antlers: "Don't say that to the little crow, or it won't help you clean up the bugs anymore!"

For the rest of the journey, the proud deer was completely transformed. It no longer strolled leisurely, but would occasionally turn back to make sure the two were keeping up, and patiently wait when it encountered a fork in the road.

Xu Ying almost slipped on the dark ice, and the deer even nimbly used its antlers to block it.

Xu Ying saw the light and excitedly asked, "Mr. Ma Lu, is that the exit ahead?"

Using its exceptional map memory, the deer recalled: "Station Master Xu, ahead is a trampoline-like area. After that, there's another forked maze. Keep going forward a bit more, and you'll reach the end!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying immediately perked up.

"Which way does this branching maze lead to the exit?"

The deer quickly replied: [To the right!]
But just then, Ma Lu sniffed the air and said, "[Station Chief Xu, two unfamiliar scents are coming this way!]"
Xu Ying and Chen Su exchanged a glance, Xu Ying looking worried: "Could it be that two more members of the hunter team are chasing after us again?"

However, at that moment, Xu Ying heard Ye Jie's exclamation and immediately realized that her teammate was in danger!
"Come on, let's go over and take a look!"

Xu Ying and Chen Su quickly ran forward and saw Ye Jie and Yao Yingzhe from the same team being chased and had their name tags torn off by Jia Yao and Su Zhining from the Hunter Team.

Yao Yingzhe caught a glimpse of Xu Ying and Chen Su peeking out from behind the ice wall, and quickly shook his head at them, signaling them to hide back inside.

Those piercing eyes seemed to be frantically implying: "Watch what Uncle does next!"

Xu Ying nodded, made a leftward gesture, and then made an X with her hand.

Yao Yingzhe nodded almost imperceptibly, then suddenly ripped a storage bag from his waist and shoved it into Ye Jie's hand: "Run! To the left!"

Ye Jie instantly understood, grabbed the bag, and dashed towards the left fork in the road. Su Zhining, as expected, fell for the trap, chasing after her in her ten-centimeter snow boots: "Stop!"

Just as Jia Yao was about to give chase, Yao Yingzhe suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and knelt down in the snow: "My old leg pain!"

He clung tightly to Jia Yao's leg, pleading, "Young man, please check me, is it broken?"

"Teacher Yao, please don't do this!" Jia Yao bent over helplessly, afraid of bumping into the old woman, and could only offer a token support. "Are you really in pain or... Oh! Please don't make things difficult for me!"

At this point, Jia Yao could only squat down and slowly use his fingernails to pick at the name tag on Yao Yingzhe's back, while struggling to move Yao Yingzhe's body with both hands.

Only by eliminating Yao Yingzhe can we escape the fate of being framed by this veteran.

While Jia Yao's attention was focused on Yao Yingzhe, Xu Ying and Chen Su flashed into the right passage of the last section of the maze like two shadows.

When Jia Yao finally ripped off Yao Yingzhe's name tag, the veteran actor dramatically clutched his chest and collapsed, exclaiming, "This was a win-win situation!"

From afar came Su Zhining's scream: "Jiayao! There are snowballs in the bag! We've fallen for their trap!"
