After understanding the language of animals, I quit the entertainment circle and started working for

Chapter 286 The Green Peacock with its Tail Feathers Plucking
As if they had planned it in advance, the animals behind the golden monkey made way for it as soon as it finished speaking.

Lin Xiao was surprised that she was convinced so easily.

Her eyes lit up with surprise, and she chased after him without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengshen and Gu Ming, who were standing behind, exchanged a glance and subconsciously took a step forward.

However, they had only taken two steps when the little guy in front of them quickly raised his hand to stop them.

Lu Chengshen frowned, instinctively wanting to continue walking forward.

The golden monkey sensed the man's presence, its eyes trembled slightly, and a hint of fear silently flashed across its face.

But thinking of the animals hiding behind her, she remained silent for a moment, then without hesitation, she once again blocked the middle of the road.

The small golden monkey stretched out its arms and stubbornly raised its eyes to meet their gaze.

It was as if they wouldn't let them pass even if it meant their own death.

"She can go by herself; there's no need for you to go any further."

Lu Chengshen paused slightly, looked at the little guy crying loudly in front of him, and then looked at the people in the distance with some concern.

Lin Xiao smiled instead.

Although the little creatures in the mountains are mischievous, they are still much simpler than the humans outside.

In addition, these are just some small creatures living in low latitudes, who usually eat fruits, vegetables and seeds, and are not harmful at all.

Lin Xiao waved his hand and spoke with a smile.

"Lu Bu, you guys wait for me outside. Don't worry... they won't hurt me."

Lu Chengshen clearly didn't agree, but looking at the resolute expression on the golden monkey's face, he could only nod in the end.

Seeing that the man was not going to continue, the golden monkey quietly withdrew its hostility.

As Lin Xiao was led by the small animals toward the true heart of Gongbei Mountain, the golden monkey suddenly leaned against a nearby tree.

He slightly raised his half-closed eyes, glancing at them every now and then, clearly intending to sit there and keep a close watch on them.

Lu Chengshen was almost amused by the little guy's insistence.

However, considering how diligently the little guy was maintaining the peace of this land, he could only sigh silently.

He sat down quietly to the side, waiting for the person who went into the woods to send him a message.

The two people and the monkey maintained a very safe distance, appearing quite peaceful and not interfering with each other.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao was surrounded by the little ones and walked inside, a long way.

Almost the instant the golden monkey disappeared from sight, the little panda cub unceremoniously climbed up Lin Xiao's leg and into her arms.

Lin Xiao rubbed the little guy's head before turning to look at the green peacocks huddled together shivering not far away.

The green peacock is the only native peacock species in China.

There are no more than 600 of them remaining worldwide.

Almost all of the green peafowl that once lived in the southwestern part of the snowy region have now become extinct, with only two remaining habitats in Yunnan Province.

But nowadays...

It is also in a stage where the overall number has been declining year after year.

Lin Xiao sighed and took the initiative to step forward and gently comfort a certain peacock that was hiding in the corner, trembling.

“Ga-woo…”

Why have humans come again?

Lin Xiao raised her hand and gently stroked the peacock's feathers, her voice extremely soothing and gentle.

"I'm here to help you catch the villains who hurt you, so... can you tell me what happened?"

As for whether the other little ones experienced these things, Lin Xiao wasn't sure. But she knew very well that the green peacock colony not only experienced them, but more than one of them had been captured.

Because... among the discovered animal carcasses were several green peacocks whose tail feathers had been completely removed...

It's obvious that it was for the beautiful feathers of the green peacock.

After they leave, these items can be made into ornaments and sold at a high price.

This reminded her of the kingfisher, which humans used to make ornaments long ago.

The kingfisher's feathers are a vibrant green, looking bright and beautiful.

Therefore, in ancient palaces, there were artisans who specialized in making ornaments from kingfisher feathers, and a series of decorations were even developed from them.

It's called Diancui!

To ensure the kingfisher feathers are in optimal condition during the creation of the kingfisher brocade technique, artisans often pluck feathers directly from live birds…

Just like those green peacocks that were carelessly thrown on the ground before.

Lin Xiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, completely concealing the complex emotions in her heart.

Her hand gently stroked his feathers, her movements slow and soothing.

Before long, the green peacock, which had been trembling in the corner, raised its little head.

He turned to look at Lin Xiao, then at the various small animals beside him, before finally nodding and slowly beginning to recount what had happened that day.

"Actually, I don't know where those people came from either."

At that time, he and his relatives and friends had gathered together and were searching for food in the grass.

Now that the autumn air is crisp and clear, it's the perfect time for fruit to ripen.

They can easily find the food they want in the grass.

But no one expected that danger would come to them so quietly.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

They were startled, but I looked up.

Suddenly, several people appeared out of nowhere, wielding long-handled tools and pointing them at them...

Before they could react, there was another loud bang.

The next second, the person standing next to him let out a sharp scream and collapsed.

For a moment his mind went blank, and almost instinctively he flapped his wings and ran away to hide.

What followed was an extremely chaotic period.

The loud bangs, mixed with the shrill cries of birds and beasts, were a horrific sight.

It wasn't until quite a while later that the group put away their tools, walked to the front, stuffed the captured peacocks into a sack, and swaggered away.

As the footsteps of the two people faded into the distance, a new kind of silence settled over the messy grass.

Only after those people had been gone for a long time, and after there had been no movement in the woods for a long time, did they tremble as they poked their heads out from the bushes where they were hiding.

But the group of people came again the next day.

However, this time the sack contained the carcass of the green peacock that they had taken away yesterday.

The green peacock, lying on the ground, had a bald tail, leaving only a bloodstained and mangled body.

Even now, he can still clearly recall how he felt when he saw that huge pile of green peacock corpses.
However, this time, instead of taking the green peacocks, those people took several golden monkeys with them...

Listening to the green peacock's story, Lin Xiao subconsciously frowned.

Judging from his description, it seems that the group of people had extremely strict discipline.
For no apparent reason, Lin Xiao thought of the organization that Mingke and the others belonged to.

Will it be...
