"Boss, the tiger enclosure should be just ahead. That tiger is quite large, so I think we'll need to increase the dose of tranquilizer," said the Bearded Man as he took out a tranquilizer dart while walking along the path to the tiger enclosure with the Long-Faced Man.
"Also, we'll probably need another vehicle. This tiger is too big for a regular car."
The Long-Faced Man nodded at the Bearded Man's suggestion.
"Don't worry about that now. We'll figure it out after we get it out. The zoo should have special vehicles for transporting animals. We'll look for one later."
As the two were talking, one of their subordinates suddenly spoke up:
"Boss, something feels off..."
"What's strange about it?"
"Isn't this zoo too quiet? We haven't heard any sounds from other animals along the way."
"What's strange about that? Even animals need to sleep at night."
"Yeah, you're being paranoid. We've been through deep mountains before, what's a small zoo compared to that?"
After being shut down by everyone, the subordinate fell silent.
As they talked, the tiger cage gradually came into view.
Under the bright moonlight, an enormous beast was lying in the center of the enclosure.
Seeing this massive creature, the previously cautious group immediately became excited.
"Boss, it's that Northeastern Tiger King!"
"It's even bigger than what we saw in the online videos. We're going to make a fortune this time."
"Yeah, how did they manage to raise such a huge tiger? The zookeeper here must be really something."
"It's almost as big as an elephant. Those Middle Eastern tycoons would go crazy if they saw this."
"Looks like our initial price estimate was too conservative. This tiger is worth at least 200 million."
"200 million!"
Upon hearing this figure, the seven poachers felt like a mountain of gold had appeared before them.
And this mountain of gold seemed to already be in their possession.
"Let's do it, Boss!"
Seeing the enormous sum beckoning to them, the subordinates could barely contain their excitement.
The Bearded Man silently raised his tranquilizer gun.
However, just as he was about to pull the trigger, a whooshing sound came rapidly from the side.
Before he could react, a fist-sized river stone struck him directly on the forehead.
"Ah!"
With a scream of pain, blood began pouring from the Bearded Man's head.
"Who! Who the hell threw that stone at me!"
While howling in pain, he didn't forget to curse loudly.
The other poachers were bewildered by what had happened.
Just as they were wondering where the stone had come from in the middle of the night, more stones came flying one after another.
In an instant, all seven poachers were hit, each stone precisely striking their heads. Though not fatal, the intense pain made them cry out continuously.
By this point, they finally realized they had been discovered, and immediately raised their weapons, preparing for battle.
Just then, a voice came from the darkness nearby.
"You're surrounded. Put down your weapons and don't resist pointlessly."
Hearing this voice, the poachers' expressions changed instantly.
The voice sounded exactly like the police officer who had been pursuing them before.
But these experienced poachers quickly realized something was off after their momentary panic.
The Long-Faced Man suddenly pulled out a flashlight from his waist and shone it in the direction of the voice.
The next second, a colorful macaw appeared there.
Seeing the macaw, the Long-Faced Man immediately realized they had been tricked.
"Damn it, they're fooling us. They're not the police!"
"Brothers, kill them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several poachers fired steel crossbow bolts toward the macaw.
The macaw hurriedly flapped its wings and flew up into the sky.
At that moment, two huge dark shadows suddenly sprang out from a nearby corner.
Two poachers were dragged into the darkness before they could react.
After two screams, there was silence.
The entire process, from the shadows appearing to their companions being dragged away, took only a few seconds - too fast for the poachers to respond.
By the time the Long-Faced Man reacted and shone his flashlight over, the two shadows and their dragged companions were long gone.
This made the already tense poachers even more nervous.
One of the more timid ones began trembling all over.
"B-boss, what were those two shadows just now? They couldn't be ghosts, could they?"
But before he could finish speaking, a gun was pressed against his forehead.
"Shut up! I'm not afraid of the police, let alone ghosts. Besides, this is a zoo, not a cemetery. There are no ghosts here. It must be the animals playing tricks."
"Get out all your flashlights and light up the surroundings!"
Following the Long-Faced Man's order, the remaining men quickly took out their light sources and placed them around themselves.
Instantly, the area within ten meters was completely illuminated.
To avoid being ambushed, they slowly backed up against the tiger cage.
Seeing this, Yang Lin, who was hidden in the darkness, couldn't help but smirk.
"These guys aren't stupid."
"But do you think this will stop me from dealing with you?"
"Li Shuangying, prepare to release the fishing net."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, a huge shadow dove down from the clouds.
When it was about thirty meters from the ground, it suddenly released its claws.
A huge fishing net descended from the sky.
Before the poachers could react, the net covered them completely.
"Damn! We've been ambushed!"
"Where did this net come from? Quick, untangle it!"
"Boss, we've fallen into their trap!"
In an instant, the five poachers were in chaos.
However, after the initial panic, they quickly took out their knives and began cutting through the net.
Seeing they were about to break free, Yang Lin couldn't let them have such an opportunity.
"Goudan, Gousheng, go!"
"Uncle Qiang, proceed as we discussed!"
At Yang Lin's command, the brothers Goudan and Gousheng immediately charged forward with their canine team members.
Meanwhile, the gibbon Li Qiang quickly jumped toward the tiger enclosure, soon reaching the main gate.
After some manipulation, the locked gate of the tiger enclosure opened with a click.
The next second, an enormous striped beast slowly stepped out of the iron cage with heavy footsteps.
The poachers, who had just been tackled by the canine team, were terrified at this sight, their courage completely shattered.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
