Chapter 111

The second service area is very large, with glass houses underneath. The animals often play in scattered places, so the keepers cannot keep an eye on every war beast 24 hours a day.

The first person to discover that Lightning and Tayun were missing was the new nurse Xiaoyan. Dr. Bree went to the first service area to talk to the director. At dinner time, it was the nurse who prepared the medicine alone. When all the medicines were ready, she turned around and saw that two of the beasts were missing.

I looked again and searched the entire service area, but it was nowhere to be found.

I quickly checked the surveillance footage and discovered that after lunch, Tayun flew out of the service area to play. Tayun used to go out to play often, but usually came back at mealtime, so no one paid much attention to it.

But today, after it went out for a walk, it came back at one o'clock in the afternoon. When it came back, the whole eagle was very anxious and kept calling "coo, coo" in the tree.

Lightning was taking a nap in the flowers under the tree. Tayun's call attracted him, so he got up and looked at Tayun.

Then Tayun flew outside again.

Seeing this, Lightning stretched himself, went through the bushes, and followed him out.

Once they left, they never came back, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

Wei Li was very anxious: "Brother Xiang has already taken people out to look for them, but this has never happened before. The main thing is that the surveillance footage shows Tayun looking very worrying. He has taken Lightning away again. Director, I'm afraid something has happened to them!"

Mu Ling listened with a serious expression. She said, "I'll come up now. You keep an eye on the other war beasts and see if they show any signs of leaving. If so, follow them."

After hanging up the intercom, Mu Ling drove the car and quickly left the first service area.

At the same time, in the southeast of the jungle.

Gus, who had just finished hunting and was holding a dead chicken in his mouth, stopped halfway back to his habitat.

It raised its nose, then looked around and spat out the dead chicken in its mouth, as if looking for something.

The other male wolf walking behind Gus also spat out the dead chicken in his mouth. He licked his lips and growled at Gus, as if asking a question.

Gus tilted his head, confused.

Although Gus is not a war beast and does not have the talent to smell the breath of strange beasts dozens of kilometers away, he is a jungle overlord of the Wind Chasing Wolf Clan, whose conditions in all aspects are not inferior to those of war beasts. On the contrary, his own abilities are more unique than many war beasts. They are born with a strong sense of smell.

Gus smelled blood, and it was the blood of an animal he was familiar with.

"Roar." The male wolf behind him urged again.

Gus finally picked up the dead chicken again, then quickened his pace and ran back to the habitat.

Fifteen minutes later, together with the male wolf, they put two dead chickens at the entrance of Geya and Gena's cave. Seeing the two female wolves coming out to get the takeaway, Gus ran out again.

It stood on a hillside not far from its habitat and howled to the sky: "Awoo————"

The wolf howled long and distantly, but received no response. Gus shrugged his nose again and then ran quickly in a certain direction.

Gus ran for a long time, sniffing as he went.

Finally, after twenty minutes, the Wind Chaser Wolf stood on top of a mountain wall.

It looked down anxiously, but could only see a bottomless cliff.

A few pieces of gravel at his feet rolled down and soon disappeared without a trace. The wolf king took two steps back awkwardly, away from the cliff, and shouted at the cliff: "Awooo——"

There was no response from the bottom of the cliff. Gus covered his ears and walked to the other side. He walked down the hillside. The grass here was dense, a place he rarely set foot on.

It walked very carefully along the way and continued to sniff as it walked.

Finally, smelling the familiar scent again, Guts immediately ran in a certain direction.

Five minutes later, Gus stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the col.

There was a smell of blood coming from below, and Gus yelled again: "Ouch——"

This time, there was a response: "Roar!"

It was the sound of a leopard.

Gus looked around for a way and found a place to step down, but he slipped and the whole wolf slid down the hillside.

The Wolf King of the Jungle was experienced. He quickly climbed up a piece of exposed dead branch, stood on the slope behind the dead branch with his tail between his legs, and then jumped into the air from the slope to another stone platform. Then, he hopped and jumped all the way down and finally reached the bottom of the valley.

Shaking off the mud on his head and body, the Wolf King looked ahead again and saw the familiar black panther and the falcon curled up in the black panther's arms.

The falcon's wings seemed to be injured, and were sticking out a little awkwardly. The black panther licked the falcon's fur from time to time, then turned around and looked behind itself.

Only then did Gus notice that there was another animal behind the black panther.

It was a Pin Ya tiger, half blocked by a big rock and covered in blood.

Gus looked at the Pinya tiger, tilted his head, and then looked at the black panther and the falcon.

The black panther continued to lick the falcon with its head down. After a while, the falcon tried to take off again, but just as it flew up a little, it fell straight down again.

The frustrated falcon fell into a thick pile of fallen leaves. It flapped its wings and stood on its two legs, turning from an eagle into a free-range chicken.

The falcon dragged its wings in a panic and returned to the black panther. The black panther had no choice but to continue licking the wings of the falcon that had failed in its attempt to fly.

"Hu, hu..." The Pin Yahu at the back made panting sounds from time to time. It looked like it was not very conscious and was probably dying soon.

Gus lay there for a while, then found a relatively low slope and jumped up with a strong kick.

The slope was too slippery, and he climbed halfway up before falling back down. Gus stood up and wandered around the edge of the mountain, looking for another place to climb up.

But after searching for a long time and trying seven or eight times, I still couldn't get in.

Obviously, if it was possible to get up there, the black panther, as a feline, would have done it long ago. If cats can't get up there, dogs certainly can't get up there either.

Gus finally got tired and lay down in the clearing, his chin resting on his two front paws, looking up at the top of the col.

Okay, now there are four animals trapped instead of three…

After looking for a while, Gus stood up again, walked to the black panther, and helped the black panther lick the falcon's wings.

The only hope for the whole village is this bird.

-

The sky gradually darkened. Mu Ling returned to the service area, checked the surveillance footage again, and then took Qilin and Qingjian away.

Qilin and Qingjiao are both war beasts that have lived in the mountains for a long time. They are very familiar with the jungle environment, and they have known Lightning and Tayun the longest.

Mu Ling first took Qilin Qingjiang to meet up with Brother Xiang and the others.

After searching the area for a while without finding the person, the people there were planning to take out patrol cars and split into seven groups to look for him.

The patrol car had now arrived and they were preparing to split up into teams when the director came over.

Finally, the teams were divided, with Wei Li taking Nina and Qilin as the team.

Xiang Bie brought Mu Ling with him, along with a clearing team.

The rest of the people were divided into eight groups of three.

The forest at night is dark, gloomy and desolate.

Qingjian was not in the car, but was running in front, sniffing around. Their car followed behind it, but because the visibility on the mountain road was too low at night, other cars could not drive fast, so Qingjian had to wait for them after taking two steps.

Mu Ling was a little anxious and looked at Xiang Bie and said, "Brother Xiang, weren't you driving very fast last time, on the day Meihua gave birth?"

Xiang Bie looked at her, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure you want to open it like you did that night?"

Mu Ling nodded repeatedly: "Sure, sure."

The next second, the man's black eyes slowly turned blue.

Mu Ling: “…”

The ice-blue eyes were cold and chilling. At this moment, the police officer in front suddenly looked over here and sniffed.

It sniffed for a while, and soon tilted its head, suspecting that it had smelled the wrong thing.

So it turned around and continued running forward.

Mu Ling felt awkward. She almost forgot that Brother Xiang had blue eyes.

Staring into those blue eyes, Mu Ling asked cautiously, "Did your nerves hurt just now?"

Xiang Bie was stunned.

Xiang Bie turned his head, stepped on the accelerator, accelerated the car, and said, "Not bad."

Mu Ling stopped talking.

The car was really going very fast this time. Because it was so fast, Mu Ling had to hold the handle. She was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid of hitting a tree?"

Xiang Bie said: "Night vision."

Mu Ling understood now that after her eyes turned blue, she had the ability of night vision, so even at night, she could see the environment in the jungle clearly.

Mu Ling was curious again: "Night vision is considered a benefit, but are there any side effects? Besides nerve pain? Are there any effects on other parts of the body?"

Having said that, Mu Ling looked closely at Brother Xiang's arm.

Xiang Bie turned the steering wheel, followed closely behind the one in front, and said, "If it lasts too long, blood vessels will swell occasionally, like veins popping out."

Mu Ling's expression changed and she immediately looked at him.

After a moment of silence, she said, "When we find Lightning Stepping Cloud, I'll give you a physical examination and prescribe some medicine for you."

Xiang Bie said nothing.

Mu Ling said with rare insistence: "You must eat."

Xiang Bie turned and looked at her.

Mu Ling explained further: "Burst blood vessels are no joke."

Xiang Bie was quiet for a while, and then said in a gentle voice: "Okay."

The car drove forward for an unknown amount of time before Mu Ling leaned over and called out, "Stop!"

The galloping gray wolf suddenly stopped and turned to look at the patrol car with its lights on behind it.

The patrol car stopped next to the patrol boat, and Mu Ling got out and fed it water and canned food.

Qingjiao took two bites and then stopped eating. It licked its lips, looked forward with its scarlet eyes, and then ran away again.

Mu Ling returned to the car, and Xiang Bie continued driving and chasing forward.

-

Du Ying felt a little exhausted.

After falling into the pile of fallen leaves again, it decided not to move and just lay there for a while.

Gus then moved forward and tried to grab the falcon's neck.

The falcon flapped its intact wing and let out a loud scream.

Gus's ear was hit and he retreated with his back hunched.

It has gotten used to holding chickens in its mouth these days, always by the neck.

Du Ying walked back to the Black Panther by himself, but the Black Panther stood up at this time and went over to sniff the Pin Yahu.

After licking Pin Yahu's unconscious face, the black panther nudged Pin Yahu with its nose, then jumped back onto the stone, aimed in a direction, and leaped.

The sharp black panther's body was as swift as a sword. It pounced towards the hillside beside it. The explosive power of its front and hind legs reached its peak after a long period of conserving its energy.

Its sharp front claws dug into a piece of mud!

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Mixed with mountain mud, it slid all the way down and finally sat down on the ground.

Gus: “…”

Stepping on the cloud: "..."

Black Panther stood up and shook his head, pretending nothing had happened.

Gus saw that he had no other options now, so he jumped onto the big rock, looked up at the sky, and howled with all his might: "Ooo ...

“Ooo ...

-

A vague wolf howl came from the front left. Qingjiao paused and looked in that direction with his animal eyes.

Its nose sniffed the air for a while, and then it ran towards that direction.

-

"Gus's voice." Xiang Bie suddenly said in the patrol car.

Mu Ling didn't hear anything. She blinked and asked, "Did Blue Eyes hear this too?"

Category: "..."

"No..." Xiang Bie said helplessly: "Military personnel have requirements for hearing."

Mu Ling said “oh” twice and didn’t ask any more questions.

The car moved forward, and soon they arrived at a muddy slope.

It will be difficult to go further ahead.

Mu Ling asked Qingjian to get in the car, and then Xiang Bie switched the car to hovering mode and floated inside.

As he floated, Mu Ling looked down through the telescope. After a long while, she still couldn't see the scenery clearly when she heard Brother Xiang say, "I see it."

Mu Ling immediately turned around to look for it: "Where, where!"

The stern man's eyes flashed, and the ice-blue color of his round pupils suddenly became deeper. He pointed in a direction: "There."

Mu Ling looked in that direction, then suddenly raised her head and looked into Brother Xiang's eyes.

The deep pupils flashed, and now the eyes have returned to their previous color.

"Did you see it?" Xiang Bie asked.

Mu Ling hurriedly looked down again and said, "I can't see clearly. If you can see, just go down."

The items began to land.

While landing, Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang's profile from time to time.

It seems that the eyes not only enhance night vision, but also enhance his ability to see far away. At the same time, the darker the color, the better the vision will be. So how good can it be?

Mu Ling was just thinking about something when she heard a familiar leopard sound coming from the bottom of the valley: "Roar! Roar——"

"It's lightning!" Mu Ling was extremely excited!

At the same time, besides the leopard's sound...

"Squeak, squeak——" is the sound of stepping on the clouds.

"Awoo, awoo--" It was Guts' voice.

Shit, Gus is actually here too.

Mu Ling immediately looked at Qing Jiao in the back seat, and saw that Qing Jiao was just standing by the window, looking outside solemnly, and was not particularly excited by hearing Gus's voice.

As expected of an S-class war beast, it is really steady.

The car landed smoothly at the bottom of the valley. After the car stopped, Mu Ling was finally able to see the situation below clearly under the illumination of the headlights.

This is a very high valley with steep slopes on all sides. In the muddy ground, Gus is rushing towards this side excitedly.

At the same time, a free-range chicken flapped its wings on the ground.

The black leopard tucked its ears behind its back and made mournful sounds, as if blaming Mu Ling for coming just now!

Mu Ling opened the car door first and then opened the back door to let Qing out.

The three animals at the bottom of the valley were almost going crazy when they saw their long-lost relatives.

Gus rushed to clear out the mess, and his tail was almost spinning like a top!

Ta Yun and Dian Dian were circling around Mu Ling, especially Ta Yun. It flapped its wings hard to show Mu Ling its injuries.

Mu Ling touched Lightning, then picked up Tayun, touched its wings and said, "Who scratched you? Okay, okay, don't move. Let's go back and take an X-ray to see if the bones are injured."

After Mu Ling calmed the falcons, she wanted to take them away directly. The car was crowded, but there was still room for them.

Mu Ling was about to get in the car when Lightning turned around and ran back.

"lightning?"

Mu Ling didn't understand what was going on, so she chased after him. Then, the next second, her expression changed: "Brother Xiang!"

Mu Ling shouted, "Come here quickly!"

Xiang Bie walked over quickly, and then he also saw the Pinya tiger behind the stone. Xiang Bie frowned: "Bean bag?"

Doubao, a B-grade Asian tiger, is one of the few war beasts that does not dislike crowds. Many netizens have photographed Doubao in the mountains.

Xiang Bie looked at Doubao, then at the surrounding environment: "It must have rolled down from above."

Mu Ling handed the free-range chicken to Brother Xiang and then went back to get the medicine box and listened to Pin Yahu's heartbeat with a stethoscope.

After listening for a while, Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Although the heartbeat is weak, it is still there. I just don't know if his internal organs were damaged after falling from such a high place."

Xiang Bie said: "It's not suitable to move it like this. I'll call an ambulance."

Xiang Bie went to the side to talk on the intercom, and half an hour later, a patrol car and an ambulance also drove down the mountain.

When the door of the patrol car in front opened, the first person to come out was not a human, but a majestic Ripping Tiger.

As soon as Qilin got off the car, he ran straight to Mu Ling.

Lightning was also very happy to see Qilin and went up to it to smell it.

Qilin also smelled Lightning and then licked Lightning's hair.

Finally, with the cooperation of many people, Pin Yahu was finally carried to the ambulance.

As several cars left the valley one after another and flew into the sky, a small, low-lying beast with black limbs and body, but white hair on its forehead and back, suddenly poked its head out from the bushes above the valley with its nose raised.

The stubborn little beast spat out the dead chicken in its mouth, then looked at the hovercraft in the sky, turned around, and chased in the direction of the hovercraft.

-

In the second service area, Dr. Bray had already made preparations in advance. The ambulance was parked directly in front of the veterinary station. Dr. Bray immediately directed people to move Pin Yahu, who did not look well, onto the operating table.

Nurse Xiaoyan hurriedly took out all the surgical instruments from the back. After Mu Ling got out of the car, she rolled up her sleeves and went to help.

They first scanned the internal condition of Pin Yahu and after making sure that its internal organs were not damaged, they began to examine its bones.

There were many broken bones, and it was probably because of the excessive pain that Pin Yahu fell into a coma. These bones had to be connected one by one. Mu Ling gave Pin Yahu an anesthetic to ensure that it would not be awakened by the pain in the middle of the process. Then she and Dr. Brey connected Pin Yahu's bones together. After the bones of the front paws were connected, Mu Ling asked nurse Xiaoyan to give Pin Yahu an injection and infusion.

The entire treatment process only takes about half an hour.

After the bones were set and bandaged, Pin Yahu was no different from a mummy.

More people were called over to help move the mummy... and Pin Yahu to the glass room next door, which served as a temporary ward.

"You said Tayun was also injured?" Dr. Bree turned around and asked Mu Ling while washing his hands with disinfectant.

Mu Ling said: "Yes."

As she said that, she went outside, picked up the free-range chicken that was being looked after by Brother Xiang and wanted to go out and roam, and carried it to the veterinary station.

"The wound doesn't look deep?" Dr. Bray said after examining Tayun's wound.

Mu Ling said: "Yes, I think it's just a superficial wound, but its wings can't move. I'm afraid the bones are broken. Let's pat it first."

After filming with the instrument, the bones were found to be fine.

"That's strange." Mu Ling muttered, "Looking at Tayun's behavior before, I thought it was seriously injured."

Dr. Bray continued to assess Tayun's wound. Then his expression suddenly froze and he narrowed his eyes: "No, it is indeed very serious."

Mu Ling immediately looked at him: "Yeah."

"Poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Mu Ling was surprised: "Was he bitten by a snake? But there are no poisonous snakes in our park!"

Mu Ling said this and suddenly started to speculate on conspiracy theories: "Could it be another strange beast?"

Dr. Bray was more experienced than she was. He had handled at least eight hundred war beasts, if not a thousand. He was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Were you followed when you came back?"

Mu Ling was puzzled: "Who is following us?"

Dr. Bray sighed and said leisurely, "I remember there's another retired S-rank war beast in the park that hasn't appeared yet. It's a Black Claw Badger."

Mu Ling: “…”

Before Mu Ling took over the Piccolo Zoo, there were a total of nine retired S-level war beasts in the park.

They are Qilin, Lightning, Qingjiao, Moonlight, Stepping on the Clouds, Actor, Snowflake and King Kong.

The last one that has never appeared is the one that is vindictive and aggressive. If you throw mud at it, it will dig up your ancestral graves. He is the number one badger in the federation, the black-clawed badger - the butcher.

Yes, as you can tell from the name, this guy is really not a vegetarian.

Mu Ling asked, "Are black-clawed badgers poisonous? I remember them being non-venomous."

Dr. Bray said, "The black-clawed badger evolved from the native honey badger. They are not poisonous themselves, but why do we emphasize their black claws? It's because trained black-clawed badger can store a small amount of toxin in their claws if they wish. However, after this toxin is eliminated by their own detoxification ability, its effect is equivalent to an injection of anesthetic. But this is enough, and it can also make their combat effectiveness even higher."

Dr. Bray then looked at Tayun's wings and said, "Tayun obviously had a head-on confrontation with the Black Claw Badger and got scratched."

The badger is immune to all poisons, and its thick fur is like armor. It also has the talent of an S-level war beast. If Ta Yun cannot kill it with one move, it will definitely make Ta Yun pay for its recklessness.

But in other words, how could Tayun possibly deliver a fatal blow to the war beast!

Of course, the badger didn't deal a fatal blow to Tayun, otherwise Tayun wouldn't just have numb wings now.

Mu Ling looked at Ta Yun, then looked worriedly at the park outside. She sighed, "Although I don't know what happened, I have a feeling that the badger will come sooner or later. What should I do? I feel like the underworld is going to come to my house..."

Dr. Bree comforted Mu Ling, "Don't be afraid, this black-she-hui is your biological child."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling was about to cry: "Don't talk nonsense, our family is a military family!"
