"Mouse Trap Glue..."

"We don't have Mouse Trap Glue here, but if you want it, Grandma is happy to help." The gold-edged porcupine exhaled a puff of cloud smoke and said to Master Fox.

Ansheng had just asked Lin Ying and confirmed that the chemical glue used to capture Spirit Beasts is a special product. It must be removed with a specific adhesive remover; ordinary alcohol and turpentine are ineffective against it.

The chemical glue quickly oxidizes upon contact with air, forming a film on the surface while keeping the interior sticky.

Apart from its strong adhesion, the chemical glue also has the characteristic of expanding and reproducing when it contacts moisture.

According to Lin Ying's understanding, the original chemical formula of the glue was discovered in the secretions of spirit beasts from the ocean, which, after processing, transformed into glue.

Chemical glue can be artificially synthesized, but the solvent that can remove the glue is a secret formula.

If you get stuck with chemical glue, apart from spending a lot of time and manpower to clean, the only solution is to ask for help from the authorities who have the formula.

Ah Bai... obviously wouldn't want to sleep in a shared bed.

But waking up with a bald dog is also a very difficult thing to explain to Qiu Lingling.

However, if there was Mouse Trap Glue, everything could be reasonably explained.

It's just that Ah Bai, and the other dogs, might need to endure a bit of grievance.

...

Ansheng sat in the gold-edged porcupine's house eating and drinking, while Ah Bai and the related dogs were secretly transported by Hao Village people in large flight groups to a rendezvous point, then smuggled to the parking lot of Sea Linglong.

"Woo woo——"

Ah Bai saw the Fox brother again, letting out a series of whimpering sounds, showing a human-like sorrow and anger.

The chemical glue doesn't cause harm, but when glue splattered all over Ah Bai, it stuck to its fur and skin, making its whole body hurt when it moved. And as it struggled, the film of glue would break, causing the still-liquid glue to spread further.

The result is that the whole dog was stuck, and Ah Bai now couldn't even move.

"I will definitely help you get revenge, but let's keep a little distance before that..."

Ansheng took two unobtrusive steps backward after seeing Ah Bai, hiding behind Lin Ying's legs, revealing just the small head of a fox and maintaining a polite smile.

Helping you get revenge is definitely no problem, and later, I'll ask the gold-edged porcupine to help smear glue all over the trench of the stowaways...

But asking for comfort is no good, you're coated in chemical glue; what if it infects to me, Ansheng?

Ansheng is famously known for living off his good looks, so what would happen to the Master Fox with his flowing, fluffy fur gone, turning into a solid rat?

"Aw woo..."

Ah Bai seemed to feel the Fox brother's disdain and immediately became more aggrieved.

With arrangements from the gold-edged porcupine, the younger guys at Sea Linglong were all dressed in chemical protective suits, wearing gloves, using small knives to cut open the glue film on Ah Bai, scraping away the still-liquid glue with a scraper into a barrel.

One characteristic of glue is that it expands upon contact with water.

Less than two liters of glue sprayed on Ah Bai matured over time and sea water, keeping the younger laborers busy for two hours. They scraped nearly thirteen pounds of diluted glue from Ah Bai.

Ah Bai's fur, as if chewed by a dog, was originally graceful white fur, now stood upright looking like hair gel due to the glue. From a distance, one might even mistake it for a relative of the gold-edged porcupine.

"Your relative?"

Seeing the newly styled, walkable Ah Bai, Ansheng looked over at the gold-edged porcupine and quipped.

"Managing it like this with the dog is already our limit, go back, shave off all the fur then brush it over with running water and a steel wire ball to restore to normal."

The gold-edged porcupine crossed his legs with a cheerful face looking at the pitiful dog, through a translating speaker explained the situation to everyone present.

After hearing about shaving fur, the big white dog Ah Bai was taken aback and subconsciously clamped down on its legs.

After the gold-edged porcupine finished speaking, his gaze turned to Lin Ying and said: "By the way, director Lin, there's something."

"Hmm?" Lin Ying frowned, looking at the gold-edged porcupine.

"Our acts of righteousness... no reward." The gold-edged porcupine shifted slightly, speaking with a joking tone: "People blowing sea wind for half a month, after all the waiting, the credit was intercepted by us."

"Those people were only responsible for delivering goods, Director Lin should know the meaning of delivery mule, right?"

While helping Ah Bai smooth out his fur, some information came from the shipyard.

Among the six, two boatmen knew nothing, thinking it was just the usual tax-free business.

The other four were delivery mules, paid to help employers move the goods from point A to point B within a set time.

The mules knew about Spirit Beasts, so after discovering Ah Bai, they immediately utilized the cargo in the cabin, wanting to sell Ah Bai to the employer for an additional bonus.

"What's their goal? Is it worth it?" Lin Ying looked at the gold-edged porcupine who was in possession of this intelligence and asked.

After hearing about the delivery mules, Lin Ying knew the matter was rather serious and organized, suggesting that there is more than one group of mules involved.

"Normally, it's not worth it. Spirit Beasts aren't exclusive to Xia Country; the world is big, plenty can be found in the Samba Rainforest. However... according to the mule's confession, that Spirit Beast is a snake."

"A pure white, gold-eyed small snake." The gold-edged porcupine revealed a strange smile looking at Lin Ying and said:

"People often say Xia Dong Region is superstitious, but considering Director Lin's previous overseas experiences, you should know?"

From a biological perspective, snakes are reptiles.

From a mystical standpoint, snakes symbolize wisdom and rebirth, as well as temptation and evil, with meanings associated with healing and medicine. Most famous is that all medical school emblems feature snakes and staffs.

The thing commonly known as the snake staff, though initially appearing somewhat ominous.

But its underlying meaning is that of a medical god.

The symbol of that medical god is a snake.

If Xia Country people say Xia Dong people are superstitious, Xia Dong people might not be able to argue. After all, there are indeed some regions in Xia Country that don't engage in any feudal superstitions.

But if those foreigners say Xia Dong people are superstitious, Xia Dong people might jump up and curse aggressively.

Yes, yes, we are superstitious. But who's president swears an oath on a bible?

Who's house can't have the numbers 6 and 13?

Who? Do you know? You don't know? Come over here, let me show you Xia Dong Region's most famous temple, the world's number one temple: Martyr Temple.

The gods of Xia Dong Region can all be traced back to historical figures.

"White Snake..."

Hearing the gold-edged porcupine mention the Spirit Beast's species, Lin Ying's face showed a look of realization.

If it's a snake, it might indeed attract some bandits hoping for a lucky chance.

After all... it's a snake!

A symbol of wisdom, rebirth, healing, medicine, and luck.

If its existence is exposed, it may indeed attract some extremely superstitious folks.

"Are there others behind it? Eek..." Ansheng's face showed clear disdain.

Ansheng felt there's potential to gain Wish Power points here.

Yet for the first time, he displayed concise disdain for an opportunity that could earn him Wish Power points.

Why is it so hard for me, the little fox, to earn some Wish Power!

Before it was scaling mountains and crossing seas, now being treated as a glue experiment; don't push it too far, you hear!
