Chapter 51: Provocation
The tiger weasel standing in the front was so angry that he swung his fist to hit the little sand cat in the face.

The mongoose's arms are too short, and its eyesight is generally poor. The little sand cat is agile and good at dodging, and the mongoose punches only the air, becoming frustrated.

The little sand cat stuck out its tongue at them: [Lululu, you're such a wimp! You can't hit me!]
This action annoyed the meerkats, and they began to urinate angrily on the little sand cat.

Their secretions are extremely foul-smelling, which can at best stop predators and at worst suffocate them.

[Hey hey hey, let’s create a civilized desert and stop urinating and defecating anywhere!]
The little sand cat took several steps back. Seeing this, the weasels became more aggressive and wanted to beat up the little sand cat.

The black serval began to protect its own shortcomings. It walked over with elegant steps and breathed at the group of weasels. They were timid for a moment, and then became more aggressive. "Hiss—"

Tiger weasels are members of the Mustelidae family. These ferocious little guys look quite difficult to deal with, and there are about ten of them in this group. However, judging from their body size, they are still growing, and there are a few short little tiger weasels that look like underage hunters who have just started their internship.

After thinking about it, Xu Ying chose to light up the skill of proficient in weasel language.

The hissing sounds of the weasel fell into her ears and became words that she could understand.

[Humph, Black Cat Sheriff, you're still protecting your own apprentice!]
[You guys have eaten all the rats around here, and we have no prey to practice hunting with!]
[Brothers, do it!]
The younger the meerkats were, the braver they were. They rushed to the black serval, but were kicked by the black serval's long legs and lost their balance. They fell on their butts and sat on the sand.

The fallen little meerkat sat on the ground and twisted his body to get up: [Woo woo, you bullied me, I'm going to tell my mom!]
The other weasels were furious and surrounded the black serval.

[Just wait, when my parents, uncles, and aunts come, I’m going to bite your tail off!]
[How dare you bully our youngest? You'll never be able to stay in this territory again!]
Wow, this group of weasels is much more ferocious than the little gerbils we just met.

If the little gerbils are desert thugs, then these weasels are as fierce as gang members.

"You really misunderstood. The little sand cat didn't eat all the gerbils. How could a kitten that just grew up eat so many mice?"

The largest tiger weasel said unhappily, "Then it must have hidden the little mouse as food and didn't let us know."
[Who are you? You can actually understand what we are saying, and you are even leaning towards the little sand cat.]
Xu Ying gave a friendly smile. "I'm an animal rescuer from the 032 Rescue Station. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. Don't bully other animals."

"Are you an animal rescuer? Now that we have no prey to practice hunting and hold hunting competitions, shouldn't you be helping us? Why are you shielding the little sand cat? Just because we're not local!?"
The weasels were very dissatisfied and unreasonable, like a group of spoiled children.

With such a bad attitude, Xu Ying really wanted to smack these little kids on the head one by one.

However, when she heard them say that they had no prey to practice hunting, she immediately thought of the rat infestation in the village and her eyes rolled.

Faced with the harm caused to human life by the large-scale invasion of a certain species in nature, scientists have developed a wealth of solutions.

One of these is called biological control.

Biological control involves introducing natural enemies of harmful species to re-establish ecological balance.

Sugarcane borers, the larvae of moths, eat sugarcane. In Brazil, wasps are introduced as biological control agents. The wasps lay their eggs inside moth eggs, killing the moth embryos and controlling the infestation of sugarcane borers on sugarcane.

The village is now plagued by rats, but due to a lack of manpower, it's difficult to control them. The alien tiger weasels that have arrived near the rescue station are swarming in large numbers, their hunting prowess is too strong, disrupting the ecological balance. According to the laws of nature, they will eventually starve to death due to lack of food.

As an animal rescuer, Xu Ying doesn't want to see such a situation.

Now, don’t these two situations complement each other?
So Xu Ying smiled and asked, "Oh? Are you guys having some kind of hunting competition?"

These little hunters were very competitive, and Xu Ying's words successfully diverted their attention. The tiger weasels rushed to complain:

[Yeah! I'm in second place now, only two mice away from first place, but the mice are gone. I'm so pissed!]
[Huh, why am I last? I just slept in and got up late. You guys are so fast!]
[Of course, the reason I'm only third is because you two stole my target!]
"Okay, stop arguing, stop arguing."

Xu Ying discovered that there was one downside to being able to understand animal language: when the little animals were chattering and quarreling, she received too much information and her head hurt.

I hope I won’t go to places like chicken farms and pig farms in the future, because the information I receive there will probably explode.

"I do know a place with lots of rats."

Xu Ying's words quieted the noisy weasels.

[Quick, quick, tell us where it is?]
Xu Ying kept it a secret and shook his head: "But I see your small bodies..."

She feigned skepticism in her tone, "Forget it. You probably can't win. The rats there have terrible tempers. They're a hundred times more aggressive than the little gerbils here."

"What if you get beaten and start crying?"

Provoking a child really works.

The meerkats immediately shouted: "Now! Immediately! Tell us where!"
"Aren't you an animal rescuer? Shouldn't you be helping us? Come on, come on. ]
The little tiger-meat hunters jumped up and down in a panic.

[If you don't tell us, we'll overturn your aid station!]
[We're going to dance on your rooftop and bedside and chew your quilt!]
When Xu Ying heard the threats from the weasels, the corners of his mouth twitched. Could the parents of these naughty kids also have such fierce personalities?

"How can I take you there with confidence if you're like this?"

Xu Ying sighed deeply. "There are a lot of people in that place. I'll take you there to apply with the headquarters."

"If you don't obey my orders, headquarters won't trust me to take you little animals with us."

The noisy meerkats fell silent and looked at each other.

"Besides, if you don't obey the rules there, you'll be taken away by headquarters and forced to work in the zoo. You won't be able to be as free as you were in the desert."

After the weasels whispered to each other for a while, the largest weasel came out and spoke on behalf of the other weasels: "We've discussed it and we'll obey your command. Please take us there quickly."
The trick worked, and Xu Ying raised an eyebrow in triumph. However, at this moment, a fierce roar came from a distance: [Who dares to bully my child?]
