Super Zoo

The bald man followed Zhou Jin in fish cultivation and gained some understanding of aquatic creatures; such a big-headed crocodile turtle, if it really came ashore, three of himself wouldn't be enough for it to eat. Despite its four short legs, if it really started running, he couldn't be sure he could outrun it!

Gazing at the crocodile turtle's cold little eyes, the bald man even had the illusion that this guy might be lying in ambush for him?!

Fortunately, the crocodile turtle didn't seem too interested in the bald man. After staring at him for a few times, it turned and swam toward the depths of Shuijun Lake. It wasn't long before it had swum far away and disappeared below the water surface in the distance.

"Huff, huff, huff..." The bald man was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses, the wound on the back of his hand burning with pain.

He was lucky; it seemed the crocodile turtle hadn't bitten down accurately, otherwise, with its huge size, it could have easily bitten off his entire hand.

After waiting a while longer and seeing that the crocodile turtle didn't return, the bald man gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and once again approached the lakeside. He picked up the fish attractor, preparing to place it into the water.

Just a few seconds after he put it down, he heard light rustling footsteps from the woods behind him!

In the quiet of the night, that sound was like thunder in the bald man's ears. Already paranoid and anxious, the sound made his heart skip a beat, and he abruptly turned around to look back!

He saw a yellow dog staggering out of the pitch-black woods!

"Where did this stray dog come from?" the bald man wondered, startled.

Fortunately, the dog wasn't big, about the size of a country watchdog, not much taller than a small stool — not a threat at all. After coming out of the woods, the yellow dog indifferently glanced at the bald man, neither barking nor paying him any attention, and casually went to the lakeside to drink water.

"Scared me to death!"

The bald man rolled his eyes and sat down by the lake, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Doodle-doodle-doodle..." The sound of the fish attractor rang out again. This device was somewhat useful for fish, but not for other creatures. As the bald man squatted there drawing fish, the little yellow dog drank water a few meters away, coexisting peacefully without interfering with each other.

Before long, rustling footsteps sounded from the woods behind him once again. This time, two dogs emerged, a Chihuahua and a Pekingese, but both were filthy dirty, appearing to be strays as well.

The bald man found it odd and muttered, "What the hell, why are there so many strays in the woods?"

The Chihuahua and the Pekingese were a bit more 'enthusiastic' than the yellow dog, trotting over to the bald man's feet and looking up at him.

"Scram, get out of here!" the bald man snarled as he shook his fist menacingly. Such tiny creatures didn't need an electric baton; one punch was enough to kill them.

The two little dogs, displeased, ran off and settled at a distance, crouching down with their heads over the river's surface, tongues lapping up the water eagerly.

And so, by the lakeside, there was now one man and three dogs.

But the event was far from over; strictly speaking, it had just begun!

Minutes passed, and the bald man finally succeeded in attracting a silver carp weighing about three to four pounds, but in the process, a Golden Retriever, a Samoyed, and a Dachshund came out of the woods in a group to drink water by the river.

An idiot could tell something was off with so many dogs appearing all of a sudden. The bald man then remembered a piece of news he had seen recently; a zoo had rescued dozens of pet dogs and established a rescue area.

It seemed very likely that these dogs were the ones that had been rescued.

With this realization, the bald man was no longer as afraid. The most terrifying thing in the world is the unexplained, but these were just pet dogs. No matter how many, they wouldn't harm people, so there was nothing to fear.

He didn't have time to think too much, and continued to lure the fish, because stealing just one fish wouldn't be enough to fulfill his task.

Next, various dogs kept sauntering out of the woods; at one point, three Huskies dashed out and nearly scared Baldy to death. At first glance, he thought they were wolves.

Before long, there were twenty or thirty dogs drinking water by the lake. They were all very quiet, not a single dog barking, acting as if they completely ignored Baldy.

The sound of dozens of dogs lapping up water echos lapping sounds by the lakeside, which was particularly eerie in the quiet of the night.

Baldy was getting more and more anxious, his scalp tingling. This seemed inexplicable; besides, he felt that there was something off about these dogs' expressions, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

If he really had to say, Baldy always felt these dogs lacked the cuteness typically found in pets, giving an impression of coldness and forbidding, like beasts; furthermore, the fact that dozens of dogs were drinking water on their own accord, without playing or fighting among each other, and not a single one barking, was just too odd!

Even stranger, once these dogs finished drinking water, they didn't leave but instead crouched by the lake, silently staring at him.

Too creepy!

His heart was pounding faster and faster, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and under the gaze of dozens of different dogs, he finally managed another ten or so minutes, catching seven or eight fish and clumsily stuffing them into a sack, just as he was about to stand up and leave.

As he made his move, all the squatting dogs suddenly stood up in sync with his motion!

"Damn it!" Baldy twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a face as pitiful as if he were about to cry, "Dear dog brothers and sisters, you're not cats, you don't eat fish. I've done no wrong by catching some fish, let's not intrude on each other's territory, okay? Well, I'll be leaving now..."

After speaking, he took out an electric baton, waved it threateningly a couple of times, and with heart thumping and trepidation, slowly backed away towards the woods.

Just then, a cold breeze blew by, as if dispersing the clouds in the sky and revealing a large, round moon!

Aoou! A high-pitched wolf howl resonated through the woods!

Simultaneously, all of the dogs started to howl at the sky in unison! The sound of numerous footsteps, shadows upon shadows, dozens of dogs emerged from all directions, surrounding Baldy in the middle.

The leader of the pack, a little fellow, wasn't very tall, even smaller than the two large wolfhounds next to it. However, bathed in the moonlight, Baldy could clearly discern that this was an undeniable wolf!

"Goddamn!" Baldy bellowed, falling over with a thud, the fish spilling from the sack to flop around on the ground.

Gazing at the dogs closing in from all sides, baring their teeth, Baldy completely lost hope. Now he was done for, the electric baton was no match for so many dogs and wolves! Not to mention others, even those two large wolfhounds could take his life!

Hang on, wait a minute, those two wolfhounds look familiar... Holy sh*t, aren't those Hei and Erhei?

"Baldy bro, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Just then, a figure emerged from the woods, smiling and greeting Baldy cheerfully.
