Chapter 271 The Counter-Espionage Scheme Just as everyone was deep in thought, Boss Crow flapped his wings and flew over quickly, his tone urgent:

[Xiaxia, something terrible has happened! There's a traitor inside our 'Snow Mountain Eye'! A bird is providing cover for the enemy!]

"What?!"

Xia Zhining's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the compressed biscuit into the snow.

Even among small animals... there can be traitors?

"Quick! Tell me in detail what happened!" she hurriedly pressed.

The Boss Crow flapped its wings angrily: [A spy falcon has infiltrated our 'Snow Mountain Eye'!]

[It deliberately led the patrol team in the wrong direction several times, causing them to miss their target!]

[He pretended to give the wrong directions by accident, but I, the boss, could tell something was wrong at a glance!]

It puffed out its chest, proudly displaying its reconnaissance findings:

[I examined it closely; there's a strange indentation on the falcon's leg!]

Xia Zhining suddenly understood. This description immediately reminded her of the photo the falconer showed her when he asked her for advice at the wildlife rescue center.

Those domesticated birds of prey all have similar leg band marks on their legs!

[Furthermore, the falcon's talons showed signs of being trimmed; wild birds wouldn't be so particular.]

[Most suspiciously,] Boss Crow lowered his voice, [and when everyone was complaining about not being able to find anyone, he blurted out, 'Is the signal being jammed?']

[These birds, native to the snow-capped mountains, don't even know what a 'signal' is.]

Xia Zhining was stunned!

Boss Ya truly deserves to be called a strategist!

Indeed, birds in the snow-capped mountains rarely come into contact with humans, and many human terms need to be explained.

The fact that this peregrine falcon could utter the word "signal" suggests that the people he interacts with frequently use terms like "signal."

This peregrine falcon likely belonged to a member of the spy team.

Furthermore, this member is also a skilled falconer.

No wonder Xia Zhining set up a "sky eye intelligence network" on the snow mountain, yet she still couldn't find any clues about the last member.

It turns out that a spy falcon guided the spy to avoid their tracking route and hide!

Xia Zhining couldn't help but reach out and pat the crow's little head: "My goodness, your observation skills are amazing! You're practically the ace agent of our animal kingdom!"

The crow boss nudged Xia Zhining's hand with its head in disdain: [I'm going to become the richest crow in the bird world!]

[When a person possesses the most brilliant mind~]

Then it became serious: [Xiaxia, what should we do now?]

[Should we capture this spy peregrine falcon immediately?]

Xia Zhining thought quickly: The owner of this peregrine falcon is definitely skilled at training birds, but he certainly can't communicate with animals as smoothly as she does.

Otherwise, this spy gang would have been lawless long ago.

He probably only received a "danger signal" from the falcon in some way, which is why he hid like a startled rabbit, but he had no idea of ​​the specific level of danger.

"Boss Ya, this is how we have to do it..."

She lowered her voice and gave instructions to the strategist on her shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Boss Crow's small eyes lit up. He covered his beak with his wing and cackled loudly: [Girl, your trick is truly... brilliant! Insidious enough, I like it!]

To maintain the operation of the "Snow Mountain Sky Eye" intelligence network, Xia Zhining set up bird supply points at several key locations to provide food specifically for the birds that provide intelligence.

At this moment, this bustling "temporary canteen" became the perfect stage for carrying out a counter-espionage plan.

A flock of plump little northern longtail tits huddled together by the feeding trough, their fluffy bodies packed tightly together, looking just like a plate of glutinous rice balls rolling around.

As they pecked at the precious grass seeds, they chattered away, seemingly having a casual conversation:

[I was so scared today! I almost got lost in that abandoned fox den next to our house!]
