Roving Hero looked meaningfully at Sifolmo. He had only intended to relax on this group tour, but he hadn't expected to get entangled in trouble.
Could this sudden appearance be related to Sifolmo?
"Sukabalie!"
"This damned thing actually came to cause trouble. It's a pity it got away."
Ausnor swaggered back, shaking his arms, and then took out a large loudspeaker. "Tourists in the viewing area, a dangerous wanted criminal entered the nature reserve just now."
"I have driven this wanted criminal out of the viewing area. I will be closing the entrance to the viewing area for the next few days. Please try not to go out to avoid unnecessary damage."
"We have dispatched personnel to apprehend this wanted criminal, and there will be results within a few days. Mia Animal Kingdom will compensate for any losses incurred by everyone during this period."
After speaking, Ausnor bowed apologetically to the tourists present and then left, running his hands through his hair.
He needed to implement containment measures for the viewing area. If that lunatic were to re-enter and cause havoc, leading to a large number of tourist casualties, Mia Animal Kingdom's reputation would likely plummet.
Ausnor felt fortunate that Wen Wen had proactively volunteered to deal with the lunatic, as otherwise, Ausnor would have been completely helpless.
However, while the lunatic's strength wasn't overwhelming, his ability to hide and escape was top-notch. Could Wen Wen find him?
Roving Hero withdrew his gaze from Sifolmo. Ausnor's reaction indicated that this incident was an issue with Mia Animal Kingdom and not related to Sifolmo.
However, this did not entirely resolve Roving Hero's doubts. He would focus his attention on Sifolmo during the rest of his journey.
Meanwhile, Sifolmo went to find Ausnor.
The previous commentator was clearly connected to divine blood. He intended to question Ausnor about the matter. He held orders from Ye Haimo, and he believed Ausnor would grant this request.
...
In a field of blue-purple, Wen Wen walked with a stick, using it to poke at the surrounding plants.
As he ventured deeper into the nature reserve, the terrain and geography became unrecognizable from other places on Earth. Most of the plants here had blue-purple leaves.
Black fruits the size of watermelons grew on the roadside trees. These peculiar fruits were everywhere, and he could even see strawberries shaped like droppings.
A golden ape, munching on a fruit and scratching itself, watched Wen Wen with curiosity.
Wen Wen found the monkey's posture a bit arrogant, so he pulled it over, checked its gender, shaved off a layer of fur, and then let it go.
Along the way, Wen Wen had done his fair share of questionable deeds. He could extract something from any strange creature he encountered.
While pursuing the 'Carnival Beast,' Wen Wen inevitably harmed some of the local animals. Therefore, Ausnor granted Wen Wen certain privileges that other tourists did not possess.
Of course, Wen Wen did not intend to use this authority for indiscriminate slaughter, but it was acceptable to bully some strange creatures when he saw them.
For instance, in the small bag carried by Tao Qingqing, there was a Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth, a blue feather with its own electrical current, and a small piece of rock-like carapace.
These items might be useful or useless, but Wen Wen's principle was never to leave empty-handed. Just taking a few wild boars wouldn't satisfy him.
After a tour, Wen Wen realized that the creatures here were more like monstrous beasts than mere monsters.
Although they possessed strength comparable to superhumans, their intelligence was not much higher than that of ordinary wild beasts. Thus, Emperor Weitu truly kept only small animals for amusement.
However, there were two exceptions within this nature reserve.
These two places were small monster villages. These monsters, like the ones outside, possessed normal intelligence. Under Emperor Weitu's protection, they lived peacefully in the real world.
And the clue Ausnor gave Wen Wen was within these two villages.
The reason Xiao Jiang had entered this nature reserve in the first place was that there was something Xiao Jiang wanted in these two villages. He had been lingering around these villages, inciting conflict between them.
However, for some reason, Xiao Jiang, who always acted recklessly, had never attempted to forcibly enter these two villages, only frequently loitering around, seeking opportunities to enter.
The two villages were named 'Mouse Canyon' and 'Rat Slayer Manor.'
Mouse Canyon, as the name suggested, was a canyon with many jerboas.
Jerboas are the smallest type of rodent, also known as the "sweet-mouthed rat."
These small mice should have been at the bottom of the food chain. Even in large numbers, they wouldn't warrant Wen Wen's attention.
However, the jerboas here were different. They had migrated from the North American region over forty years ago.
At that time, a mad scientist in the North American region had created a mutated substance, intending to use it to rule the world. This mad scientist had indeed caused a catastrophe.
In that incident, the mutated substance that leaked underground completely contaminated the jerboa population living underground.
These jerboas grew in size and began to possess human-like intelligence. Most importantly, they were fond of learning hand-to-hand combat skills, and every member of their族群 was a master of martial arts.
However, the North American region regarded the mutated substance as an enemy, so these jerboas could not survive there and migrated to the White Bear region.
The strongest among the jerboa villages mastered 127 types of combat techniques, possessed a disaster-level cultivation, and was at the upper echelon of that level, calling himself the Jerboa Overlord.
As for Rat Slayer Manor, it was not originally called that but was named 'Kitty Manor.'
It was a place inhabited by a group of cat people, the same species as the cat people in the Huafu Hunter Association's Jiwei Lou.
Initially, this tribe lived well here, but after the jerboa tribe moved in, they became displeased.
In the beginning, the two tribes got along very harmoniously and even held 'cat and mouse games' from time to time to deepen their relationship.
But as time went on, conflicts increased, and there were frequent skirmishes. Moreover, since cats and mice were natural enemies, in just a few years, they became irreconcilably opposed, and Kitty Manor was renamed Rat Slayer Manor.
Although the two villages were mutually hostile, they had never escalated to armed conflict, only engaging in verbal disputes.
But in recent days, the relationship between the two villages seemed to be heading towards mortal enmity.
First, a small cat person died under mysterious circumstances while playing in Mouse Canyon and was returned by the jerboas.
Then, a patrol team of jerboas was attacked by a cat person who covered their face.
