"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.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
