Chapter 21

The steaming potion was poured onto the tiger's body.

Mu Ling held a water scoop in one hand and rubbed the tiger's body with the other hand, making sure to wet all its dry and dull fur.

Qilin seemed to understand what Mu Ling meant at this moment. It looked at the basin, raised its front legs, and finally stepped into it.

"My ancestor, you finally cooperated!" Mu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qilin's fur was too thick. Even if it was poured so slowly, the fur would not be wet, and the potion would probably be all poured out.

After the tiger entered the bathtub, the water level in the basin rose a lot. Mu Ling asked Qilin to sit down, and then took the water scoop and continued to water it.

After the body was completely wet, Mu Ling took out a pink bath ball, squeezed some medicinal shower gel on it, rubbed it, and first rubbed out dense bubbles, and then applied the bubbles to the tiger's body.

Bubbles can bring out a lot of dirt, Mu Ling washed very carefully, and soon, Qilin's body was covered with a large mountain of bubbles, and even on the top of its head, Mu Ling deliberately placed a large ball of bubbles.

But even if it was submerged in endless bubbles, Qilin did not move, it still sat obediently, and when Mu Ling asked it to raise its hands, it would raise its hands and let Mu Ling rub its paws.

"Oh my god, it's so cute! It's so sensible!"

"It turns out that the Ripping Tiger likes to take bubble baths, write it down quickly!"

"Does it like bubble baths? I feel like it just likes Director Mu."

"Then write another one, the Ripping Tiger likes Director Mu..."

"..."

But no matter what, the usually fierce and ferocious beast suddenly became so docile and soft, which really melted the hearts of the tourists!

And just when Qilin was still enjoying the bubble bath and was about to fall asleep from scrubbing his body, deep in the jungle, a graceful and strong black panther was standing on a rugged sharp rock, looking around with a pair of green animal eyes.

Its cold eyes shuttled back and forth between the shadows of the trees. Suddenly, it looked in one direction. The next second, it leaped up, stepped on the ground with its thick paws, and ran in that direction.

The dead branches on the ground made crackling sounds, until the black panther's figure completely disappeared into the jungle. In the quiet mountains, more naughty little animals dared to quietly pop out from behind the trees...

-

Because they had to go into the mountains in the afternoon, Mu Ling didn't take a long time to bathe. It took about fifteen minutes to finish the bath, and then she just dried herself.

Mu Ling wrapped Qilin with an oversized towel. Just as she was about to wipe it, the big tiger moved its body and suddenly shook its fur wildly!

Mu Ling was caught off guard, and the water droplets and loose fur splashed all over her face!

"Ouch, ah... Qilin, it's done Qilin..." Mu Ling swallowed a lot of Qilin's hair and reached out to hold it down. Qilin was very comfortable after taking a bath and showed a rare happy look. It grinned, spit out a small section of scarlet tongue, and rubbed its wet face on Mu Ling's clothes.

"You know where to wipe it." Mu Ling said unhappily, and wrapped its face with a towel and rubbed it madly!

When it was almost done, she took out the large hair dryer that she had prepared long ago and blew Qilin's hair.

Hair dryers for animals are all silent to avoid animal stress. Qilin blew the comfortable warm air, curled up his body, sat down on the ground, leaned his head forward, and buried his head directly in Mu Ling's arms. Mu Ling held the hair dryer in one hand and fiddled with its fur with the other. After a while

, the short fur showed signs of drying up. After the fur was blown dry and the medicine was reapplied, everything was done. Mu Ling looked at the time, it was half past one. It was exactly the same time she had expected to end. "Okay, stand up." Mu Ling put down the towel, patted Qilin's head, forced the lazy pig to stand up, and then pointed in the direction of the crowd and said, "Look over there." The tourists who were originally sitting on the stone platform saw Qilin looking over, and they quickly stood up, waving at Qilin frantically, shouting Qilin's name. Qilin glanced at the crowd, then turned back to look at Mu Ling, seemingly puzzled. Mu Ling smiled and said, "Just let you feel the cheers of the audience before we go off. Okay, let's go back." Mu Ling bowed to the tourists, and then left along the way they came, taking Qilin with him. It was not until Qilin's figure completely disappeared that the tourists asked each other with regret, "Is there no Qilin after this?" "I came here just for Qilin..." "We're going up the mountain soon. There must be other animals in the mountain." "But I heard that the animal visibility is very low. Some people said that they took the shuttle bus for a whole day and didn't even see a rabbit." Wei Li heard the tourists starting to get dissatisfied and quickly explained: "Don't worry too much. It's impossible not to see even rabbits. Our director has been going up the mountain to take pictures every day in the past few days. Many animals recognize her. If she calls, the animals will come out." The tourists thought it was very strange: "They will come out when she calls? Is it so magical? Is it true?" Wei Li thought for a while: "On the contrary, That’s what she said...” The tourists: “...” Actually, Wei Li also felt that the director might be bragging a bit. When the director went up the mountain on the first day, the animals obviously didn’t come out. He witnessed it with his own eyes. But in the past few days, the director went into the mountain to take pictures. She came back and said that she had established good relations with some small animals outside. She said that many small animals now like her because she brings food for them every time she goes into the mountain. Now even the long-tailed foxes have started to send her mice! Wei Li didn’t believe it at first. How could wild animals accept strangers so easily? He fed them every day but never saw any animals get close to him. But thinking that the director could even catch a unicorn, out of blind worship of the director, Wei Li brainwashed himself. Seeing that the tourists were still not in high spirits, Wei Li hurriedly said, "The shuttle is in front, let's go this way." Six shuttles were arranged for the trip up the mountain today. Xiang Di drove one, Wei Li drove one, and the other four were driven by four bus drivers. The four bus drivers were delivered together with the bus. The bus was rented for a whole day, which meant that the drivers had to stay in the zoo all day on standby. They were idle anyway, so Mu Ling saw that the drivers were all experienced drivers with multi-purpose vehicle driving licenses, so she simply hired someone to help them drive the shuttle.

An amphibious car driver is a driver who can drive any car on any road. He is an all-round driver. Mu Ling paid him the normal price for hiring drivers, 300 interstellar coins per person. The drivers were happy with it. They just made extra money at public expense. It was not difficult to drive a shuttle bus anyway. Director Mu said that the car behind just had to follow the car in front.

When Mu Ling changed her clothes and came over, she saw that the tourists had already boarded the bus. There were 25 seats in one bus and 150 seats in six buses, which was more than enough for 100 people. Everyone was not crowded.

Professor Zhou saw her coming out and said, "Director Mu, we are all here."

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

Mu Ling got on Xiang Bie's car and signaled Xiang Bie to leave.

The order of the six cars going up the mountain was that Xiang Bie drove the first car and Wei Li drove the last car. The two of them just sandwiched the four cars of the bus driver in the middle, so that they could take care of the front and back.

When the six cars completely entered the main mountain road, Mu Ling took out a professional microphone, which was also connected to the five shuttle buses behind, which meant that the tourists in the cars behind could also hear what Mu Ling said in the front.

"Hi, everyone." Mu Ling smiled and said an opening remark: "I am the coordinator of our parade and the director of the Piccolo Zoo. My name is Mu Ling. If you have any questions during the tour, you can ask me. Friends in the cars behind you can also ask. I can hear you all."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone asked: "Director Mu, can we see other retired war beasts later?"

Mu Ling said: "The retired war beasts are Living in the inner circle, but our inner circle is not open yet, so it’s not very good. If there are war beasts wandering out, we can see them...”

Mu Ling said it very vaguely. In fact, she felt that it should be 100% impossible to see them. After all, those war beasts would turn around and run away when they smelled the human scent 800 meters away. It would be strange if they could see them. However, it was a rare opportunity for tourists to come here, so she couldn’t be so humble and directly say that they couldn’t see them. She was just vague, and the main point was that it was as good as saying nothing.

The tourists still wanted to ask, so Mu Ling quickly changed the subject and introduced other things: "You may not know that our Piccolo Zoo is actually the largest jungle wildlife zoo in the entire galaxy. We have nearly a thousand species of animals here..."

At its peak, there were nearly a thousand species, but now they are gone. Now the total number of species of all animals is probably less than a hundred...

"The first stop we are heading to is the activity area of ​​our golden rabbits. Golden rabbits belong to the family Leporidae and the order Mammalia. There are a total of 19 species of golden rabbits, including long-eared golden rabbits, winter-season golden rabbits, 98 golden rabbits, black-and-white allogeneic golden rabbits, etc. The golden rabbits in our zoo are long-eared golden rabbits. The characteristics of this kind of golden rabbits are..."

Mu Ling introduced the long-eared golden rabbits in full according to the information in the materials, and then pointed to the right and said, "In fact, in this area, we can see traces of the long-eared golden rabbits' life... Hey, wait, everyone, look to the front left, there are two long-eared golden rabbits there!" After

Mu Ling said this, the tourists immediately looked to the front left with curiosity, and sure enough, they saw two or three light yellow long-eared rabbits among a few tufts of grass, moving their three-lobed mouths to eat grass.

"It's quite cute."

Someone turned on the light computer to take a picture.

Some people also asked: "Are these the only ones?"

Mu Ling said: "Of course there are more. The initial number of golden retriever rabbits in our park is twelve, but rabbits breed very quickly. Generally, a litter of rabbits can be born in about thirty days, and there are 4-10 rabbits in a litter. Therefore, the number of golden retriever rabbits is already very considerable. According to rough statistics, there are more than sixty. There will be a relatively flat hillside a little ahead, and there will be This is where the golden rabbits are usually most active. "

Wei Li told Mu Ling before that the total number of animals in the zoo was 102, but this data has long been outdated. The number of large animals should not have changed much, but some small animals are really fertile. The little monkeys, rabbits, piglets, kittens and cats that Mu Ling saw in the mountains these days alone add up to more than 102, not to mention other animals.

The car continued to drive up the mountain, and after another 20 minutes, Mu Ling whispered to Xiang Bie: "Slow down here, I'll get off the car."

Xiang Bie tilted his head and looked at her.

Mu Ling said: "I'll take the group of golden rabbits to that lawn, otherwise the tourists won't be able to see anything."

Xiang Bie frowned slightly.

Mu Ling knew what he was thinking and said helplessly: "I'm really familiar with the small animals outside. I'm not bragging. They will definitely come out if I call them! I brought a bag of carrot cubes!"

She patted her waist bag, which was full of sugar-coated bullets! She came prepared!

Xiang Bie was silent for a moment, then slowed down the car: "Be careful."

Mu Ling responded and jumped down easily.

At the same time, deep in the lush forest, a black giant crocodile living near the stream suddenly opened its cold and moist eyes. Its cool eyes slowly looked in a certain direction upstream of the stream. After a while, it moved its limbs and began to swim upwards.

-After

the six ferries had been going for nearly ten minutes, they finally arrived at the flat hillside that Mu Ling mentioned.

As soon as the car stopped, everyone was shocked. Even Xiang Bie, who was driving the car, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the scene on the hillside.

Wei Li, who was driving the last car, blurted out: "Fuck, the director really didn't lie to me!"

On the other side of the forest, in the middle of the lush lawn, Mu Ling was sitting on a big rock, sprinkling carrot cubes, and around her, dozens of rabbits with long ears and light golden fur were surrounding her. From a distance, the scene was like a fairy tale. For

a moment, many tourists were amazed, and then they opened their laptops to take pictures!

Seeing everyone coming, Mu Ling waved to everyone, then turned on the microphone and said, "If you want to take pictures, you can get off the bus, but don't get too close, otherwise the little rabbits will be scared away. There is a red bucket under the first row of seats on the shuttle bus. There is a bag of carrot cubes in the bucket. You can feed them if you want, but don't get too close."

The tourists immediately got off the bus. Some fed the rabbits, some took pictures, and the whole forest became lively with laughter.

After staying in the golden rabbit area for about 20 minutes, Mu Ling asked everyone to get on the bus.

"The monkey forest is in the front. The little monkeys like to eat bananas. There are also some bananas in the red bucket. Don't eat them secretly. They are reserved for feeding the little monkeys."

"Hahahaha." The tourists laughed immediately.

The car continued to move forward. After a while, Mu Ling asked Xiang Bie to slow down again. Then she put a banana in her pocket and got out of the car again.

Crossing a ramp from here, you can take a shortcut to the monkey forest. Mu Ling also has to clear the monkey forest first, otherwise the tourists will definitely not be able to see the monkeys.

Director Mu leads the team, there is no skill, it all depends on personal connections!

And just as Mu Ling was walking towards the monkey forest...

on the other side, next to the waterfall deep in the jungle, two hyenas with yellow and purple fur were lowering their heads and drinking the stream water happily.

The splashing water droplets hit them. After they drank enough water, they shook their fur. When they turned around, they saw that one of them had a big hole on his face, and a small tumor-like eye grew in the big hole. The other one had a big and round nose, and there were honeycomb-like pits all over the nose, as if it was the nest of some insect.

After the two hyenas finished drinking the water, they walked downstream along the stream. Soon, they found two young brown deer grazing. With pure greed flashing in their eyes, the hyenas immediately lowered their bodies and were about to rush up to kill the brown deer and then have a good meal... But at this moment, at the bottom of the clear stream, a black crocodile with cold saw teeth and hard skin suddenly emerged and bit one of the hyenas' legs.

The hyenas reacted very quickly. Canines are very good at hearing. The sound of the crocodile swimming had already reached their ears, and they were on guard.

The crocodile missed the bite, but the two hyenas had already retreated several steps away, baring their teeth at the crocodile from a distance.

The crocodile looked at them coldly with its sinister eyes. It wanted to crawl over, but it had already missed the best hunting opportunity. Climbing over would not help. Besides, its speed was too slow for the hyenas. Sure enough, before it could get through, the two hyenas had already taken two steps back and then circled around the crocodile provocatively.

At this time, the two little brown deer in the distance also noticed the movement here. They turned around and ran away. The two hyenas immediately gave up mocking the crocodile and quickly moved one after the other to block one of the brown deer.

The little brown deer was blocked from going, and ran towards the water in panic. It wanted to cross the stream, but in a flash, a hyena was behind it, biting its hind legs tightly. The little brown deer screamed miserably, and it threw itself into the stream, which was immediately dyed red with blood. The

brown deer's cry was extremely loud, and the black panther galloping in the jungle stopped immediately. Its huge body panted slightly, and its green eyes looked around dangerously. Soon, it determined the direction of the sound, turned around, and ran away!

"What sound?" Mu Ling, who had just rushed to the monkey forest, looked at the direction deep in the forest in a trance, and frowned.

The little monkey curled up in her arms was still peeling a banana. Mu Ling picked up the little monkey, put it on a stone, and then walked straight into the woods.

Is that the sound of an animal? The screams of an animal? Are there animals fighting? That won't do! Animals are bought with money!

Mu Ling was worried and walked faster and faster.

The little monkey looked at the banana in his hand, then looked at Mu Ling who had already walked away, and seemed a little confused...

At this time, the monkey mother jumped down from the tree, and the little monkey chirped twice and jumped into the mother's arms.

The monkey mother held her baby in one hand and reached up with the other hand to grab a branch. She jumped nimbly and nimbly to another big tree. In this way, she jumped from one tree to another and soon caught up with Mu Ling.

Mu Ling did not stop, and the monkey mother followed her. Soon, other monkeys nearby also started to follow her, as if they thought this was a fun game.

Finally, Mu Ling passed through the monkey forest, and behind the monkey forest was a stream. Mu Ling looked around and chose to go downstream.

But at this time, the monkey mother started calling to Mu Ling, and she chirped while jumping upstream.

Mu Ling frowned: "You want me to go upstream?"

Mu Ling thought about it, nodded heavily: "Good sister, I'll listen to you!"

Then, Mu Ling really went upstream.

After Mu Ling walked out of the monkey forest, the monkeys stopped following her. The little monkey finally peeled the banana and was sitting on the tree trunk, eating it innocently. The monkey mother looked at Mu Ling's back, snorted, and sniffed the bloody smell brought by the wind in the air... The bloody

smell came from upstream.

-

On the other side, upstream of the stream.

The little brown deer was bitten into the stream and rolled around wildly. The black crocodile immediately rushed towards the hyena. The hyena was afraid of the crocodile and chose to retreat temporarily and wander on the shore.

But the brown deer's leg was injured and it couldn't stand up in the water for a long time. Seeing the crocodile approaching, it became more and more frightened. The more it struggled, the faster it lost its strength.

The crocodile did not take the opportunity to snatch the injured prey. It just stopped there, its eyes still looking at the two hyenas.

The situation was temporarily deadlocked.

Until...

behind a bush in the jungle far away, a late-coming black leopard was crouching quietly...

The two hyenas, who were extremely sensitive to danger, seemed to sense that another enemy had appeared. They suddenly became anxious and restless. They roared at the crocodile, but the crocodile remained indifferent...

Finally, one of the hyenas couldn't hold it anymore. It took two steps forward, ignored the crocodile's warning eyes, bit the brown deer's hind legs, and quickly dragged it to the shore!

The brown deer cried out again, and the hyena's sharp teeth made it feel so painful!

The crocodile pounced forward suddenly, but because the brown deer's body blocked its attack direction, it pounced in vain.

Seeing that the brown deer had been dragged ashore and blood covered the stones by the stream, the crocodile swung its limbs anxiously, but it was of no avail. But at this moment...

from the deep shadows of the trees, the swift and sharp black panther suddenly rushed out. There was not a single stray hair on its body, and its black was so pure and oppressive. It was like the most experienced and patient hunter. If it did not attack, it would not attack, but once it attacked, it would hit the vital point!

The hyena sensed danger and was about to dodge, but it was too late. The black panther's sharp fangs had already bitten the hyena's neck that was dragging the brown deer. It held the hyena's body tightly with its two front paws. The hyena roared in fear. The black panther suddenly swung it, grabbed the hyena's neck, and threw it to the ground again!

Seeing this, another hyena hurried to help. It planned to attack the black panther from behind, but...

"Bang!"

A small gunshot came from the other side of the stream.

The second hyena was hit in the body. In less than half a second, its body quickly lost strength. Finally, it fell to the ground, paralyzed and motionless.

The black panther was still biting the hyena in its mouth. Its eyes were green and a little red. Its ferocious eyes stared coldly at the other side of the stream, which was the direction of the gunshot...

The black crocodile had already dived to the bottom of the stream. It tried its best to pretend to be a stone, revealing half of its eyes, and staring at the other side of the stream.

Just when the leopard and the crocodile were getting extremely alert, Mu Ling put down the tranquilizer pistol in her hand, and walked over quickly with a sullen face. When

she reached the edge of the stream, the black panther had already let go of the hyena's neck in its mouth. Its mouth was full of blood. It licked its teeth, took a few steps back grimly, and stared at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling looked at the black panther, then at the two hyenas and a brown deer on the ground, and finally glanced at the poorly hidden crocodile at the bottom of the stream.

Pursing her lips, Mu Ling spoke: "You, Swift Fire Leopard, Lightning."

She pointed at the black panther, then turned her finger and pointed at the crocodile: "You, Iron Crocodile, Guard."

"An S-class retired land war beast, and a B-class retired aquatic war beast."

After memorizing animal data for several days, Mu Ling still remembered this basic information.

Looking at the two hyenas again, after seeing the changes on their faces, Mu Ling gritted her teeth, suddenly stepped forward, and kicked the hyena that was bitten to death.

Her action was so sudden and fierce that the black panther was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stepped back a few steps again, standing behind a big tree. The Iron Crocodile also sank to the bottom of the stream again.

Mu Ling kicked the hyena and went to look at the brown deer on the ground. It was still alive, but it was bitten by the exotic beast. She didn't know if the wound would be infected. After all, they hadn't been vaccinated for a long time.

Mu Ling felt overwhelmed. It was not easy to get a tour group, but she had to deal with this!

Furious, Mu Ling kicked the hyena again, then took out the walkie-talkie and said to the other side: "Brother Xiang, can you hear me?"

On the other side, Xiang Bie, who was driving, picked up the car walkie-talkie: "Hmm?"

Mu Ling suppressed his anger: "Stop the car immediately, let the tourists in your car sit in the car behind, and then let Brother Wei turn around and take everyone down the mountain immediately. Today's tour is temporarily over. If the tourists have any opinions, I will apologize to them when I go back. And you, take the medical kit now and come to me. I'm at the edge of the mountain behind the monkey forest, here..."

Mu Ling looked at the two hyenas again, his face was so black that ink could drip out: "Aliens appeared!"

There was a pause on the other end of the walkie-talkie, and then Xiang Bie's voice came immediately: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Mu Ling rubbed his brows: "The trial operation is bound to fail! By the way, Lightning and the guards are also here. They should have smelled the scent of the alien beast and followed it here. When I came, Lightning had just bitten a alien beast to death, and I couldn't see whether the guards had moved their mouths. Should I knock them both down and take them back for a physical examination? What if they are also infected?"

Xiang Bie frowned: "You are not wearing protective clothing and staying with Lightning and the guards?"

Mu Ling said: "I have a tranquilizer gun, they are not as fast as me . "

After saying that, Mu Ling took another look at the hyena she had knocked down, and her anger rose again: "Let me be honest with you, I want to shoot anyone I see now, I'm going crazy!"

Xiang Bie: "..."

Xiang Bie could tell that Mu Ling was overwhelmed. The failure of the trial business seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to her, causing her first reaction to the aliens and war beasts not to be afraid, but to be angry...

Xiang Bie had to comfort her: "Calm down, they won't hurt you, just let them go, I'll be there right away, be careful."
