Chapter 260 Biting the Wrong Person The moment the video call connected, a low and threatening roar came from the other end of the screen.

A large female lynx was seen pacing anxiously inside its specially designed enclosure.

Its claws, which were like fur-lined snow boots, were now like sharp daggers, fiercely scratching at the heavy wooden railing.

The wooden fence was already covered with deep marks, and sawdust flew everywhere.

Don't be fooled by the lynx's furry appearance; its teeth can bite through a person's arm bones, and a single claw can sever a person's tendons!

[You murderers!]

[They killed my child...and now they're locking me up here!]

The lynx's howl struck Xia Zhining's heart like a heavy hammer.

This lynx cub...was beaten to death?

At this moment, a staff member explained, "Expert Xia, this is the lynx that has injured people multiple times!"

"But strangely, it only attacks people carrying photographic equipment."

"It's not eating or drinking here, and its condition is getting worse and worse."

Suddenly, a steady and powerful voice came from off-camera: "How's the situation?"

The staff immediately stepped aside to clear the view: "Commander Shang, Expert Xia is online now."

A middle-aged man with straight shoulders and a resolute demeanor walked into the frame.

His gaze was sharp, and he nodded slightly to Xia Zhining:

"Hello, Dr. Xia, I am Shang Wu, one of the heads of the Northwest Wildlife Rescue Base."

Shangwu gestured to the staff to bring over the injured reporter, Lu Li.

Lu Li's left hand was in a thick cast, wrapped up like a white rice dumpling.

As soon as the lynx saw him, it began frantically scratching at the door of its enclosure, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Although Lu Li, a military reporter, was also a soldier who had experienced various exercises and actual combat, he was not afraid of this scene.

But he was still completely confused and somewhat aggrieved: "Expert Xia, why did this lynx target me?"

"They were practically chasing me, killing me like I had a blood feud with them!"

[Let me out! I want to tear this cruel human being to pieces!]

[Avenge my child who died tragically!]

Xia Zhining had her staff bring the phone camera closer to the lynx and asked gently, "Lynx, are you saying that this reporter, Lu, beat your child to death?"

The previously agitated lynx suddenly stopped moving, its ears perked up warily: [This little glowing box… can the person inside understand me?!]

At this moment, Xia Zhining had already walked from the director's office to the snow leopard enclosure.

Silverblade, the snow leopard mother she had once helped give birth, slowly walked over and let out a low purring sound while looking at her phone screen: [Fellow villager, trust her.]

[She understands us. She even delivered my baby during my difficult labor. If you have any grievances, just tell her.]

Although snow leopards and lynxes belong to different genera, they are both cats.

They are distributed in the vast northwestern deserts and mountains, and can be said to be "fellow villagers" living under the same sky.

They can communicate across species to some extent through scent, sound, and certain basic body language.

Sure enough, the snow leopard's appearance calmed the lynx down a bit. It panted heavily and recounted in broken sentences:

[That day, I returned from hunting to feed my chicks and saw a human flying in the sky on a large, black bird that made a buzzing sound.]

[He was also holding a shiny square box in his hand.]
