The video also featured photos and a confession video from three poachers who had narrowly escaped the Wòjiāo mountain range.
In the photos and video, the three individuals attempted to maintain a calm demeanor, but their words and expressions conveyed extreme terror.
Not only the official Douyin account but also major news media, television channels, and the national news network reported on the incident.
The general content of the reports stated: A poaching gang of over thirty people discovered a gold mine in Bai Ye's ranch and brazenly used explosives for blasting. During the gold extraction, a few poachers carelessly started a forest fire while smoking, and the majority of the poachers perished in the fire while waiting for the police to arrive at the scene.
The release of the official news immediately caused a sensation across the nation.
"Holy crap! They were really poachers! How much nerve did they have to dare to steal from Brother Ye's home!"
"Hahaha… That's hilarious. Over thirty poachers didn't die by Brother Ye's livestock, but burned to death by themselves! But it's good too, a fiery cremation to end it all!"
"Why do something as a poacher when you can cross professions to steal gold mines? Look how miserably they died!"
"This tells us, don't smoke in the forest!!!"
...
Of course, under high-level operations, the news only reported the criminal act of poaching. The various ferocious beasts in the Wòjiāo mountain range, as well as the terrifying battle between Bai Ye and Lydia, were not mentioned at all, as if they had never happened.
As for the discussions about the terrifying murmuring sounds from Bai Ye's livestream and the 'dark figures' emerging from the volcano, there were naturally many people discussing them.
However, related videos, text, and other works were subject to platform-wide traffic restrictions, controlled by the authorities behind the scenes, making it impossible for the topics to spread. Over time, they would become rumors.
Perhaps, if the secret of the ferocious beasts and the related Tétys Continent could be revealed one day, the livestream effect would be quite good, and the reputation gained…
Bai Ye put away his phone, took a sip of red wine, and slowly shook his head.
To prevent the public from falling into panic, the Great Xia national authorities would not allow these secrets to be disclosed in the short term.
Although this was a very fast and effective way to gain reputation and improve his magical abilities, and Bai Ye currently had the strength to reveal all of this without fear of any repercussions!
However, Bai Ye did not intend to do so, nor did he want to trouble Elder Song and the others. From beginning to end, the Great Xia national authorities had treated him excessively well. This was also why he was willing to manage the Wòjiāo mountain range as a large ranch.
Suddenly, a smile appeared in Bai Ye's calm eyes.
It was inconvenient to act within Great Xia, but it was different elsewhere…
He also wondered how the overseas synchronized livestream project on Douyin was progressing.
Bai Ye planned to contact Manager Lü from Douyin in a couple of days to inquire about the situation. There were so many people overseas, and they were almost all new viewers. Even a small magic trick would likely astound them.
This was also a good opportunity to gain a large amount of reputation!
After finishing the red wine in his glass, Bai Ye stood up and used his basic spatial power to clean up all the garbage.
He walked to the balcony and with a casual wave, tossed all the garbage from the balcony into the large garbage can in the yard.
"Woof woof woof!!! (Hello boss!)"
"Woof woof— (Boss is so mighty!!)"
...
Seeing Bai Ye walk out, Gou Dan, Quan Yi, and the others, who were gnawing on bones and eating meat, immediately revealed their sycophantic nature, wagging their tails and barking excitedly.
Bai Ye glanced over the entire yard and said, "Clean up the yard later."
Then he turned and walked into the house.
"Woof woof!! (Understood, boss!)"
"Woof woof woof!!! (Don't worry, boss!)"
...
The night was deep.
Back in his room, Bai Ye lay on the bed, checking his system data.
