Super Zoo

Dong didn't yell through the megaphone at first, and things were okay, but as soon as he did, his voice carried a long way. People are curious by nature, and hearing there was "danger," instead of dispersing, they flocked over even more quickly.

In the eyes of most people, the frilled fish are cute, adorable, harmless, valuable, or even tasty... Few actually know how fierce the frilled fish can be, so seeing an extraordinarily large one, the crowd didn't have the slightest sense of danger. Instead, they boldly moved closer, wanting to observe this big fellow up close.

Even Mr. Dong, after his initial surprise, took out an old-fashioned mobile phone to snap a photo.

"Back off, back off! Do you all have a death wish?"

Suming shouted. He could manage if one or two people came closer – he would just control the frilled fish with his spiritual power to prevent it from attacking. But with so many people crowding in at once, if the frilled fish were startled and behaved abnormally, his spiritual power might not be able to control it in time.

He had seen the power of the frilled fish before; those kids who were about to touch the frilled fish's head could have their heads bitten clean off in one bite!

Just a while ago, Mr. Dong in his uniform was shouting through a megaphone and it didn't work, let alone Suming shouting with his voice. The people around him acted as if they hadn't heard, each one of them eager to touch the fish.

"Ho!"

A roar suddenly erupted from the crowd, like a clap of thunder from nowhere, and the burly man with a sad-looking stubble who had been following Suming charged into the crowd. With arms like steel bars, he swung them to the sides, parting the crowd at once, and then grabbed two kids who were about to touch the frilled fish's head and tossed them back into the crowd.

"Waah waah waah..." The crowd was dense, and although the kids weren't hurt, they were frightened and burst into tears as soon as they hit the ground.

The children's parents immediately became upset and stepped forward to argue, but they didn't dare to confront the burly man. Standing there like an iron giant, he looked intimidating, and the parents, being wise, pointed at Suming and clamored for an explanation.

"Want an explanation, my ass! Dammit, I saved your kids' lives, and now you dare demand an explanation from me!"

Before they could respond, Suming shouted and, with all his might, kicked a newly planted young poplar tree beside him.

The young poplar was as thick as a child's arm, and after Suming's kick, the tree shook a few times but didn't break. Instead, the kick sent Suming stumbling back a step.

"You try!" Suming said, his face reddening, and he motioned to the burly man with his mouth.

The burly man stepped forward and kicked just as casually, lifting his foot without any obvious effort, and the tree snapped in two with a creak.

"Everyone watch this!" Suming held the tree trunk in front of the frilled fish, which, as if being provoked, opened its mouth wide and bit down hard on one end of the trunk. It then began to roll on the spot like a crocodile.

Squeak, squeak, creak... Amid a grating sound that made one's teeth ache, the tree trunk was twisted into a corkscrew.

Seeing this, the argumentative parents fell silent, thinking back to how their children had dared to try touching the frilled fish and breaking out into a cold sweat.

"See? This thing bites!" Suming rolled his eyes in annoyance, then added, "When the aquarium is built, everyone who wants to see can come back."

Only then did the crowd franticly back away several meters, as if they were terrified the frilled fish would suddenly lash out at them.

"All right, all right, scatter now. Go do whatever you were doing," Mr. Dong waved everyone off and dispersed the crowd.

Suming let the axolotl crawl back into the cart and said to Mr. Dong, "Dong, I stumbled upon this in the back hill. I've already reported it to the zoo director. When building the aquarium, don't forget to reserve a den for it."

"Don't worry, no problem. Just in time, the aquarium originally only had three finless porpoises and it looked deserted. Now with this axolotl, it finally resembles something. This big axolotl might even qualify for a Guinness World Record."

After finishing about the axolotl, Dong curiously looked at the robust man following Suming and wondered, "Is this your friend? Quite strong-looking!"

"He's a distant relative from my hometown, come to seek refuge with me," Suming chuckled.

The successive appearances of the golden monkey and the axolotl attracted the zoo's attention to such an extent that many people didn't take much notice of the 'hometown relative' that had arrived with Suming.

This stout 'hometown relative' was, of course, the wild man. Chapter Stay:

Last night, Suming had the wild man bathe in the Fengshui Pavilion, then shaved his hair and beard, and bought some large-sized sportswear in the morning.

Compared to the typical image of a wild man, this one originally lacked a bit of a wild beast's appearance and looked more human. After Suming's grooming, he completely resembled a countryman new to the city, robust and honest, yet very simple.

After shaving his hair and beard, Suming also discovered that, in fact, the wild man was quite handsome. Aside from slightly high cheekbones, his looks could score around sixty to seventy points, and his eyes were bright and piercing, thanks to years of living in the wilderness.

"Why do you look so familiar?" Suming always felt there was something recognizably familiar about the wild man's facial features. Could he be an old buddy or best friend from his past life?

Aside from the wild man, the small lake at Whisperwind Pavilion was also undergoing some secret changes.

At one end of Shuijun Lake, a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals started a new project, aiming to connect the small lake next to the Fengshui Pavilion with Shuijun Lake;

If one observed carefully, there were noticeably more hornets and bees around the trees surrounding Shuijun Lake. The wolf dog brothers and cat siblings had also been assigned by Suming to take shifts guarding around the Fengshui Pavilion.

After returning from the construction site, the wild man stripped off his clothes, wearing only large boxer shorts, and dove into the small lake, drinking the lake water in huge gulps.

Suming didn't mind him and busied himself in the kitchen, cooking while saying to the axolotl sprawled at his side, "You'll stay here for now. Don't try biting the sacred beast, or I'll stew you! Here, this is what stewed fish looks like..."

Suming fished out a large chunk of succulent fish tail from the pot of boiling fish soup and threw it to the giant axolotl, threatening it as he did so.

The giant axolotl seemed not to mind the heat, swallowing the two pounds plus fish tail in one bite, smacking its lips with relish. It wasn't foolish; the stew was delicious, and it certainly wouldn't bite the sacred beast that Suming hid in the small lake.

Besides, the water from the sacred beast was highly beneficial for the growth of the giant axolotl. Unless it was starving, it wouldn't easily attack the sacred beast.

The fish in the pot was fished out from Shuijun Lake. Suming tasted it himself and found it quite good. Its taste was on par with the fish from Huating Reservoir, and as for the flavor, that all depended on the skills of the cook.

Lately, the fish in Shuijun Lake had been thriving rapidly; in a few months, they could be sold on the market.

Suming called the wild man in for the fish meal and picked up the phone. After contemplating for a moment, he dialed Wang Jian She's number.
