Super Zoo

Chapter 236 Incurring Public Wrath

Legend has it that animals like snakes possess a kind of spirituality, instinctively guarding "heaven-sent treasures" such as thousand-year-old ginseng or top-quality Lingzhi mushrooms, around which there are often animals 'protecting' them.

In plain terms, animals discover valuable plants before they've fully matured and stake out the area, waiting to devour them upon full maturation.

In this large patch of wild morel mushrooms, a few particularly large ones stand out. If the guess is correct, it must be these delicious and nutritious morel mushrooms that attracted the nearby snakes!

"Hehe, could it be that these snakes are all males in need of virility, so they're after the morel mushrooms for that extra boost?" Suming speculated, not without malice. After all, like black truffles, the greatest nutritional value of morel mushrooms lies in their potency and kidney supplementation.

Napoleon was remarkably potent, conquering countless enemies on the battlefield as well as countless noblewomen in bed. However, it's said that in his youth, Napoleon was actually not so capable and had just average ability at best. One of his generals, however, was quite formidable and had more than a dozen children. Learning that this general's vigor was due to eating several black truffle stewed chickens daily, Napoleon also adopted this method—consuming a large quantity of black truffles—and, indeed, his ability dramatically improved, and he fathered a son that year.

Whether this legend is true or not, the effectiveness of black truffles in improving male vitality is well-known. At one auction, Dr. He from Macau once bid nearly 3 million yuan for a black truffle king, celebrating his 86th birthday. Dr. He had read countless women in his life, taken three wives, and had many descendants. Yet even in his 80s, he would still purchase the truffle king, indicative of its profound secrets.

The effects of morel mushrooms are not inferior to those of black truffles.

Not only were the snakes tempted, but even Suming couldn't help but drool over these morel mushrooms!

It wasn't that he needed kidney support at such a young age, but rather he was thinking of the vast expanses of empty land behind the zoo!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He had long been considering what to plant on the hills behind the zoo to utilize the empty land and create some economic benefit.

But cultivating ordinary plants was just too low in cost-efficiency; expending a lot of effort for just a few hundred thousand yuan a year didn't mean much.

It would be different with morel mushrooms, though.

But suddenly, the situation unexpectedly changed!

When the giant python entered the wetland, it initially faced no resistance—all the small snakes fled from its path. But as it approached the cluster of morel mushrooms in the center, the little snakes stopped fleeing!

Not only did they not flee, but some of the fiercer ones, like the Red Chain Snakes, even launched an attack on the giant python themselves. A Red Chain Snake and a Black-Striped Snake shot out, snapping viciously onto the body of the giant python.

The giant python's scales were like armor, thick and hard. Even a handgun might not pose a threat at a distance, much less two small snakes. The attacks of the Red Chain Snake and the Black-Striped snake didn't harm the giant python at all, not even breaking a scale.

The giant python, when attacked, casually twisted its body and flung the Red Chain Snake, which was less than a meter long, through the air. Then it opened its mouth wide and bit the Black-Striped Snake, swallowing it whole without even chewing.

The Black-Striped Snake and the Red Chain Snake paid with their lives, yet they couldn't stop the giant python's advance, causing only a negligible 'inconvenience.'

Two small snakes were not enough to stop the giant python; but what if there were more?

As the giant python continued toward the center of the wetland, aiming for the morel mushrooms, not only did the snakes that were in front stop fleeing and attack it, but many other types of snakes that were lurking around also left their own little territories, swimming from all directions towards the giant python!

The thousands of small snakes, scattered throughout, saw the giant python attempting to 'monopolize' the morel mushrooms and became 'common enemies'. In less than half a minute, they all swarmed into the wetland, surrounding the giant python tightly, layer upon layer.

Realizing this, Suming suddenly understood. All these snakes gathered together maintained a delicate balance, all because of the large patch of morel mushrooms. The giant python, relying on its sheer size and strength, wanted to monopolize them, and consequently incurred the wrath of the masses.

"Eh? So, you're saying they would fight a deadly battle without me even lifting a finger?"
