“What’s the matter?”

Jiang Tie spat out the residue and wiped the corner of his mouth. He could tell that the White Tiger had something to say and it was most likely related to their visit to the breeding zone.

“The breeding zone has been occupied by the animals from other areas of the zoo. They won’t let us near them.”

The White Tiger got angry at the mention of this. After those animals felt that they had gained some new abilities, they actually violated the rules of the animal circle.

Generally speaking, within the 10 territories, there was no interference between them and they could not violate the territory that was not theirs. This was the rule of the animal circle.

However, coming from the northernmost region of the zoo where the lion, king of all beasts, was, those animals came crossed over to their territory and started acting atrociously. Were they not deliberately causing trouble?

“What abilities do they have?”

Although Jang Tie was not so familiar with the control of spiritual power just yet, he was still able to deal with some ordinary animals after he had trained, 

On the other hand, the use of both physical strength and spiritual power was equivalent to more than doubling his strength.

“When we went there, the animals in charge of guarding the area were ostriches, hippos, and Black Panthers.”

The White Tiger recalled the animals that he had seen today. It was rare for him not to laugh about it. He said solemnly, “Although there were only three animals guarding the place, their strength was very strong. Just the strength of the evolved ostrich alone was more powerful than the combined strength of the peacock and me.

“It shouldn’t be possible, but it’s true. I’ve observed carefully today. The ostrich is good at spitting fire. It has also grown wings and its flying speed’s very fast. It can easily fly over instantly from deep in its territories.”

Jiang Tie cleared the indifference on his face. This time, he was faced with a tough nut.

“What about the hippo and the Black Panther?”

The White Tiger shook his head. Those guys were too smart to expose their abilities.

However, there was one thing that he was very sure of. “They aren’t much worse than the ostrich. Currently, there are only three of them guarding the breeding area. There are also animals watching from behind. It might be that Golden Lion King who ordered them to do so.”

“They came all the way to our territory, and they even sent animals to guard the breeding area. What is it exactly that’s worth their trouble?”

Jiang Tie felt that things were not that simple. If it was just for food, the Lion King and the others could just hunt in the nearby area. There was no need to do anything unnecessary.

In addition, according to his understanding, the area where the Lion King was located had food placed there to begin with. There would not be a lack of prey in the short term.

“I don’t think the breeding area’s that simple. Speaking of which, I’m very puzzled about the evolution of the ostrich. Why are its wings stronger than mine?”

The White Tiger thought that it was very unscientific. The degree of the mutation of every creature was actually related to their bloodline.

He did not think that the bloodline of the ostrich would be much nobler than his own. However, why were his evolved wings so different?!

The White Tiger could not figure it out, but Jiang Tie had a vague idea. An ostrich was born with a deficiency, but it could catch up during the later stages!

In the world of spiritual energy recovery, there were many external forces that could help one breakthrough to a higher realm than one’s own, such as medicinal pills and all kinds of natural treasures.

Since animals had the chance to evolve and mutate, there was no reason for those plants to remain silent. Perhaps one or two lucky plants had evolved into holy medicine and holy fruit?

“Later, we’ll sneak over with Ah Mao. Let’s not get too close. Our presence will be easily detected. Let Ah Mao sneak in to see what’s going on. There should be treasures in the breeding area.”

Jiang Tie thought for a long time and finally came up with such a foolproof plan. First, he would figure out what treasures were in the breeding area. Then, he would wait for an opportunity to make a move.

“Ah? Who’s Ah Mao? Where did Ah Mao come from? Boss, you must’ve remembered wrongly!”

The White Tiger was dumbfounded. He did not remember that there was such an animal called Ah Mao.

The panda pointed behind him. The White Tiger turned around in confusion and almost lost his soul.

When did a furry monkey appear behind him?!

The most important thing was that the furry monkey was standing less than a meter away from him. At such a close distance, he did not sense any other aura!

“After you appeared, Ah Mao was standing behind you. Didn’t you notice?”

Jiang Tie was also surprised earlier. Not long ago, he was just like the White Tiger. It was not until a group of monkeys brought Ah Mao out that he realized there was a monkey swaying behind him.

However, he was still very surprised. The White Tiger was so vigilant, yet he failed to notice Ah Mao’s existence.

Clearly, it was not the problem of Ah Mao’s low profile. It was the new ability that this fellow had discovered after evolving!

The White Tiger saw a little clue and asked in disbelief, “It can’t be its new ability, right?!”

The moment these words were said, Ah Mao nodded.

It was also incomparably happy. Previously, it was still envious of the other siblings who had all gained very powerful abilities, but there was no sign of its own at all.

It never expected that this was its new ability. Its sense of presence was extremely low and it would not be discovered by others!

After getting a reply from Ah Mao, the White Tiger did not know what to say. This ability was a little…heaven-defying. It was similar to invisibility.

Did this not mean that in the future, if Ah Mao wanted to do something under their noses, it would not be discovered!?

The White Tiger was envious. He would rather not have his light wings. The monkey’s new ability was not bad at all!

“Ah Mao, follow them tonight. Remember to investigate what treasures are in the breeding area. It’d be best if you can bring them back quietly, but if not, don’t force it.”

Jiang Tie actually had the same thought as the White Tiger. This ability did not seem to be offensive, but it was very useful!

On such an occasion, this ability would come in handy. It saved a lot of energy by avoiding a fight.

Ah Mao nodded excitedly. It was very happy to be of use to its Boss and the rest.

Just like that, the panda and the White Tiger huddled together and discussed for a long time before they finally reached an agreement.

Then, they would wait for the sky to get dark. As soon as it got dark, they would immediately set off to the feeding area.

Time passed by in anticipation. The sky gradually turned dark.

The panda and the others set off in a tiger-like manner. They were as fast as the wind. They did not stop for a moment and rushed straight to their destination.

Half an hour later, Jiang Tie and the White Tiger stopped among the grass more than a thousand meters away. Their figures were hidden behind the tall grass and trees. In the darkness, only three pairs of eyes could be seen flashing by from time to time. They felt a kind of excitement akin to being a thief.

Jiang Tie looked at the breeding area in the distance. It was brightly lit. In this pitch-black darkness, it seemed a little unusual.

In addition, there was a Black Panther on the top floor of the feeding area. It seemed to be checking for nearby scents.

If an animal came near, the Black Panther’s sharp sense of smell would be able to detect it immediately.

“Security’s quite tight. Even a mosquito would find it hard to fly in.”

This was enough to show that there must be some treasures in the feeding area. Otherwise, it was not worth the lion and the others going through so much trouble.

Jiang Tie observed for a long time and understood the situation outside the breeding zone. In the end, he instructed the air in front of him, “Ah Mao, go there quietly. Little Tiger and I will wait for you here. You take care of yourself.”

Ah Mao suddenly jumped out from behind him and let out a soft hum. Then, under the eyes of the panda and White Tiger, it set off toward the breeding zone that was one kilometer away.

“Ah Mao’s so scary. It’s so quiet. It even makes me suspect that there’s something wrong with my sense of smell.”

The White Tiger stared at Ah Mao. He let out a long sigh as his words were filled with disbelief..
