Chen Xiao did not refuse White Glove's "invitation" and went out with him and got into his white luxury car.
The car quickly left the unfinished street.
"I thought you wouldn't leave with me." White Gloves smiled and looked at Chen Xiao in the car: "After all, I tried to arrest you two days ago."
"You said it yourself, one moment and another." Chen Xiao seemed very calm: "Enemies can become friends, and friends can also become enemies."
White Glove seemed to frown: "Your personality is somewhat different from what is described in the information."
Chen Xiao smiled noncommittally and stopped talking.
…
Much as Chen Xiao guessed, the car quickly drove to a place he was familiar with.
Chishan Wildlife Park in K City!
This Chishan covers a vast area. At night, the mountainous area is peaceful. Among the dense mountain forests, there is the rustle of the wind and the occasional alarming bird call.
At the entrance of the zoo, there is no longer the scene of tourists gathering during the day, and it is deserted.
In fact, Chen Xiao had already vaguely guessed it.
Collar... entrustment... Gonggong... the strange case in the zoo, and finally, he suddenly saw the back of Gonggong in the zoo that day.
A person like Gonggong would not come to the zoo to play alone for no reason.
The gate of the zoo was closed, but when the car drove to the door, the gate opened automatically and silently.
As Chen Xiao sat in the car, he could see two people in black suits standing at the entrance of the zoo, bowing their heads to the passing cars and respectfully stepping aside.
Chen Xiao saw at a glance that in the duty room at the zoo's gate, the duty officer was already lying on the table.
"rest assured."
Probably seeing something, White Gloves said calmly: "We will not kill people easily."
Not killing easily does not mean not killing.
Chen Xiao muttered this in his heart.
The car quickly drove into the zoo.
Because he had been there during the day two days ago, Chen Xiao still clearly remembered the topography of the zoo. The car quickly entered the depths of the venue area and entered the animal range area.
At night, the stocking area is quiet. Only the ditches in the surrounding isolation belt or the monitoring devices around the isolation wall are still functioning.
When entering the stocking area, Chen Xiao saw the tour buses parked on the roadside, those with wire-steel windows, and the jeeps used by the staff.
Everything around is so quiet.
White Gloves still had a leisurely look on his face, holding a ceremonial staff in one hand and wiping his forehead with a white handkerchief in the other.
"There are police in the zoo." Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "I don't want you to cause any conflict with the police."
"No." Bai Glove shook his head and said this very briefly.
But soon, he looked at Chen Xiao: "You don't even need to take action for a while, you just need to watch. Witness with your own eyes that this matter has been 'suspended'."
Along the way through the stocking area, it seemed that every time we passed an isolation zone, there would be white-gloved men opening the door in advance.
And soon, Chen Xiao saw the sign on the roadside:
"Warning! Wild beast range! Danger!"
Chen Xiao frowned.
…
The car stopped in a slightly empty area. There is a small forest and a large lawn on the left side, and a pond on the right side.
"We are lucky, because that guy Gonggong doesn't seem to know how to drive away wild beasts. Therefore, for this commission, he can only use the stupidest method of waiting and waiting for the target to appear. Fortunately, we don't have to do this."
wait? Target
Although Chen Xiao had doubts in his heart, he did not speak, but watched quietly.
"It's time to start." The staff in the white-gloved hand gently tapped the driver's seat in the front row.
The driver of this car was a white man, wearing a driver's uniform, with a seemingly unimpressive appearance, and he immediately got out of the car.
The driver walked a few steps to about twenty or thirty meters in front of the front of the car, and then felt in his pocket.
Soon, he took out something that looked like a whistle, put it near his mouth, and blew gently.
Chen Xiao's expression immediately moved slightly.
The whistle was indeed not an ordinary whistle, but a special whistle that seemed to emit audio that could only be picked up by animal ears.
That kind of audio is difficult for human ears to hear.
"You'd better close the window." Bai Glove smiled softly: "It's not that I'm worried about danger, but... the scene will be bloody in a while, and I don't like the smell of blood very much."
Although Chen Xiao didn't understand, he did as he was told.
soon…
In the woods on the left, there was a sudden commotion.
The low shrubs and grass were gently parted, and a brown beast figure slowly came out step by step. The brown shadow was very huge, its feet crushed the short grass on the ground, and it carefully stretched out half of its body. The gorgeous brown hair on its head showed its appearance!
This is a lion! A young and strong lion!
The lion seemed a little irritable. The sound of the beast's whistle probably disturbed it. It immediately saw the white-gloved driver standing there. The lion seemed a little confused, but even more alertly stared at the human in the distance - the human who had broken into its territory.
Although this is a zoo, the life in the free range allows the lions to maintain a part of their wild nature to the greatest extent.
The lion approached cautiously, then moved in a clever circle.
Chen Xiao watched the program of "National Geographic Magazine" and saw the lion's hostility, and also heard the lion letting out threatening roars.
Seeing that the lion has bent its front body to the ground, its hind limbs are full of elastic power, as if it is ready to jump at any time...
But the driver in white gloves stood there with a calm look on his face.
And just when Chen Xiao watched the lion approaching step by step and was about to pounce, suddenly, the driver waved in the direction of the lion, and a low whimper came out of his mouth...
The sound seemed to imitate the roar of some kind of wild beast, and it also seemed to be the sound of crying, which sounded extremely weird.
Then, the voice in the driver's mouth jumped out one by one with strange pronunciation notes. The voice had some strange vibrato and nasal resonance, and there were some very difficult transpositions.
It was as if he was chanting some kind of spell.
What's even weirder is that after hearing these sounds, the lion suddenly relaxed its tense body, raised its head, and stared at the driver for a while, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then lowered its head. He nodded and walked over slowly step by step.
When the lion was only one step away from the driver, it stopped. Then, it made a move that surprised Chen Xiao.
It actually stretched out its head, rubbed the driver's body affectionately from one side of its head - just like a big pet dog!
"My driver is not an animal trainer." White Glove smiled slightly.
Watching the driver kneel down gently, he held the lion's neck with one hand and gently stroked the lion's mane back and forth.
Chen Xiao suddenly felt something in his heart: "What kind of power is this?"
"An ancient superpower has a history many times older than the combined history of service agencies and clubs!" White Gloves smiled slightly: "Remember, in this world, superpowers actually existed a long, long time ago. . Far earlier and longer than we imagined. As for my driver, his superpowers had a special name in ancient European legends. This name was passed down from the ancient Celtic language. of… "
After a pause, Bai Glove smiled and said a word that many people are familiar with.
Anyone who has read fantasy novels or played some online games will know this term. This was not the first time Chen Xiao heard this word, but... he never thought that this kind of thing actually existed in reality! Moreover, it is also classified as a superpower!
White Gloves says:
Druid!
…
A druid who manipulates nature
"Druid is actually just a pronunciation in the ancient Celtic language. This kind of power can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the control of plants, and the other is animals. This driver of mine happens to belong to the latter . Well, if I use a more formal term, I would prefer to call this ability a 'natural creature manipulation' ability."
Later, the lion became extremely docile and even stuck out its tongue and licked the driver's leg twice before lying on the ground.
At this time, the driver took out a metal bottle from his arms - it was a sealed bottle. After he slowly unscrewed the lid, the lion on the ground immediately turned over and jumped up, fluffing its brown fur and showing a hint of alertness!
There was a certain liquid sealed in the bottle. The driver carefully sprinkled the liquid on the surrounding ground. The liquid flowed out, showing a golden color and exuding a strange smell, as if it was some kind of strong stimulating potion.
This smell seemed to make the lion very nervous. His original docile look was gone. He looked around nervously and let out low whimpering sounds.
"What is that?" Chen Xiao frowned while sitting in the car.
"We lost a few precious biological beasts." White Gloves then explained lightly: "One of them is a very precious guy. This biological beast was secretly taken away from the club by the two brothers you met. . It's a pity that they didn't domesticate it well and lost the biochemical beast. So, they are looking for it, and we are also looking for it. Fortunately, we have druids in our organization. And the liquid in this bottle is the bodily fluid of that biochemical beast. and urine samples. When I came to K City, I saw the news. What happened here confirmed that the biochemical beast escaped and hid here... In the city, there is nothing more suitable for this than the wildlife park. Is it a place for biological beasts to live? There is enough space here, and there is enough..." He said this and looked at the lion: "Enough food!"
White Gloves looked slightly excited, and he smiled and said: "This kind of biological beast is a very cunning and intelligent creature, very cunning! It is not easy to find it, you can only find a way to lure it out. Fortunately, , in nature, most beasts have the habit of using their own urine and smell to divide their territories. Therefore, using another bottle of urine samples from other similar biochemical beasts sprinkled here may make it think that there are Others of its kind invade its territory and can force it out.”
"What kind of biological beast is it?" Chen Xiao asked, suddenly thinking of the owlbear he met.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you... The owlbear you met was also lost from our organization! That Monica is also one of the traitors." White Gloves smiled leisurely: "We met some time ago When there was some trouble, a group of people in the organization suddenly defected, causing some chaos. A group of precious biochemical beasts were stolen, some of which were unique samples cultivated with many years of hard work! If it weren't for this chaos, I would have I won’t come to K city specifically.”
Chen Xiao wanted to ask something else, but White Glove's eyes suddenly lit up because the driver Druid in front suddenly made a strange gesture toward the car.
"Here we come!" White Glove threw away the handkerchief and cane, looked at Chen Xiao, and said with a hint of meaning in his tone: "I know you will carry the detector with you, now... you might as well put it on!"
Chen Xiao took out the detector—the glasses given by Phoenix—without hesitation and put them on.
Soon, the detector's detection radar showed some fluctuations.
"on the right?"
Chen Xiao frowned.
On the edge of the pond on the right, the water suddenly shook, and slowly, a black shadow emerged from the pond.
The black shadow looked like a stone or a large piece of mud.
After emerging from the water, it wriggled its way to the shore bit by bit, dragging across the green grass, leaving a black mud mark.
Soon, the group of things that looked like rocks and soil squirmed for a while, and stood up in Chen Xiao's sight! !
It seemed like the "watermelon bug" that Chen Xiao had seen in the summer when he was a child. When the body was curled up, the shell seemed to be made of earth and stone, but once it was stretched out, it turned into a monster!
When the person stands up, visual inspection shows that this thing is about two meters tall, with a hard shell, an inverted triangular head, and two big eyes, just like some kind of insect.
The whole body is covered with countless large and small black spots.
What surprised Chen Xiao even more was... the appearance of this monster was simply...
It’s like it’s pieced together!
At this moment, it is supporting a pair of lower limbs. The left foot is covered with black fur. Judging from the shape, it looks like the hind limbs of a wolf. The other right leg is covered with plum blossom-like patterns, as if from the body of a sika deer. It’s the same as the transplanted one!
And its back is covered with a hard layer of horny skin... just like a crocodile!
And its upper limbs...
Its upper limbs don't look like they were transplanted from any animal. But it seems to be "original".
But it is this pair of upper limbs that is even more horrifying!
The slender upper limbs don't look strong, but they are covered with a hard shell, and at the end, there are two long bone spurs that look like blades! About a meter in length!
just like…
"Praying mantis?" Chen Xiao couldn't help calling out in a low voice.
That's right!
This monster is like a praying mantis nearly two meters tall! He held up two large knives that looked like mantises!
"It's not a praying mantis." White Glove smiled slightly: "To be precise, 35% of its genes come from the insect praying mantis. As for the other parts, they are taken from six different organisms, of which... It’s also a treasure trove of some human genes.”
