What do people who drink too much do? You can never guess. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of the most popular places for children in Colombo is the Colombo Royal Zoo. It is the only zoo in the whole of Coronnia. There are not only a variety of wurms native to Coronia, but also rare ectope creatures.

Sonia had been looking forward to going to the zoo since she was very young, and East didn't have any feelings for the zoo, after all, she had been there countless times in her previous life as a child. But in the face of Sonya's little face full of longing, after drinking too much, he actively agreed to go to the zoo to play. So, the two drunken drunks, not even considering that the zoo was about to close, disappeared in the direction of the zoo under the confused eyes of the large group of drinking friends.

This time, East carried an official map of Colombo with him.

Colombo Royal Zoo is located in the western suburbs of Colombo, covering an area of up to five square kilometers. There are countless rocks and rivers that have been artificially piled up and excavated in the park. To prevent the animals from escaping, a 10-metre-high sturdy fence and a 15-metre-wide moat cut the park from the outside world.

When East and Sonia arrived at the zoo, it was already the beginning of the day. The ticket office at the entrance of the zoo has long been hung with a sign saying that it will be closed. The Tao Golem, who is in charge of charging at the ticket window, will only keep repeating the phrase, "I'm sorry, the park is closed today, and you are welcome to come back tomorrow." ”

The entrance to the zoo was pitch black, and only the red-glowing outline indicator light of the cleaning golem in charge of sanitation was constantly moving.

Esther tried to enter the zoo through the gate, but eight heavy granite golems emerged from the shadows. These golems appeared at the same time, and issued a loud warning sound: "Warning, this zoo is closed for business, no entry is allowed, violators are at their own risk." "Although he drank a lot of wine, Esther was not so confused that he went to learn from Lu Ti to make trouble in the mountain gate and get drunk and beat King Kong. He wisely chose to retreat.

There are a total of seven entrances and exits to the zoo, and the entire park is an irregular oval. There is a ticket office at each entrance. Esther and Sonia walked around the zoo for a long time, and found that every entrance and exit was heavily guarded, and all golem guards were not negligent.

Can you just swim across the river and then climb over the wall to get wet?

Sonia was a little drunk, and suggested that she simply rush in from the front. Anyway, it's just a few slow-moving stone golems. After all, Esther was more experienced than Sonya, and he knew that once he alerted the golems at the gate, the guards in the park would definitely go out to hunt them down. They came by night, not hide-and-seek.

It wouldn't hurt to experiment anyway, and East decided to see if he could sneak into the zoo. Once he was inside, it would be much easier to pull Sonia in from the wall.

Letting Sonia hide in a shadow outside the walls, Esther made his way to the nearest entrance. The Golem Sweeper has finished its work and has ceased to function. Only the stone golems were still dutifully guarding the gates.

Esther complained about the need for so many golems for a zoo guard. Then it quietly transforms into a rat before entering the warning range of the stone golem.

This time the stone golem didn't react. East secretly rejoiced in his heart, his transformation ability was really used a lot! he must exercise more and reach the legendary realm as soon as possible.

Passing in front of the stone golems with ease, Esther even crawled around the feet of one of the stone golems.

Unknown if there were any other safety measures in the park, Esther did not revert back to human form, but remained in the form of a mouse. The park is full of trees, shrubs and grass. This gave Esther great cover. Passing through a meadow for tourists to picnic, East came to the shore of a small man-made lake, and to get to Sonya's location, he had to go to the opposite side of the lake. Easter spread his four legs and ran along the shore of the lake. At this moment, he suddenly heard an extremely slight sound of gears turning behind him.

Esther shuddered suddenly, looked back, and was so frightened that he stumbled and rolled forward.

It was a fully automatic mousetrap. Rats are an alien species in Coronia, there are no ready-made natural predators, and they reproduce very wildly for a while. Alchemists simply used the method of making golems to create a small magical machine specially designed to kill rats. Since the introduction of this machine, the rat population in Coronia has been greatly reduced.

This alchemical machine, known as the rodent annihilator, is now not far behind Easter.

In Bellafa, Easter also has one such mousetrap in his home. It was a very old machine, supposedly bought by Mama Serra's grandmother when she was young, and given to her when she married Sir Red. But even such an old machine once created a terrifying record of annihilating fifty rats in one night. The rats that were caught, when they were taken out of the back of the machine, had already turned into crushed, flattened rats.

The machine behind him knew at a glance that it was a new model of mousetrap, and if it weren't for Easter's superhuman perception, I am afraid that I would not have been able to hear its voice when I was caught.

The speed of the mousetrap was much faster than that of the rat block, and under the drive of a high-power magical energy center, the machine, which was more than ten meters away from Esther just now, arrived in front of him almost the next moment. Then, the machine circled around Esther and left quietly.

"Whew~" Esther lay on his back on the ground and let out a long breath. If he hadn't changed back into his human form just now, he would have been killed by the infrasound waves emitted by the rat trap.

"Damn, this is the zoo, I believe you say it's the Death Star!" Esther walked back and forth from the ghost gate, full of resentment about the zoo's security system. He finally recovered from the nausea and headache caused by infrasound, and vowed in his heart that he would give the zoo management an unforgettable memory.

After such a toss, East's wine basically woke up. He also regretted coming to the zoo in such a big night. But there was Sonia waiting for him outside the park. If he hadn't hurried, the girl who had finished drinking might have come in through the main entrance.

Now that he has changed back into human form, Esther is no longer any other animal. On the one hand, it was to save the number of times Transfiguration could be used, and on the other hand, he was scared by things like automatic mousetraps.

Skirting the small lake, Esther came to the bottom of the wall. The ten-meter-high wall is already difficult for most people to climb over. But that couldn't stop Eastwood. He took out the universal cedar and turned it into a flying tiger claw with a long lanyard. After a little observation, he felt that there were no few levels on the wall, so he easily climbed the wall with the flying tiger's claws.

The wall is wide, and Esther can lie on it without worrying about falling. He probed his head and looked out, pulled out a red magic lamp, and drew a circle outward.

A sturdy figure soon appeared by the river. "You're so slow, throw the rope over quickly!"

Esther threw one end of the long rope across the river and grabbed the other in his hands. Sonia tied it securely around her waist. Then, Sonia stepped back, ran and rose into the air by the river. With the help of Sonya's leaping force, Esther pulled Sonia to the zoo wall.

Sonia was visibly excited. She snapped the tiger's claws against the wall and slid down the rope to the ground. Esther then fell to the ground, grabbed the rope, and reverted the universal cedar back into its original form and put it back in the weapon bracelet.

Sonya's eyes sparkled, and she lowered her voice and said to Easter, "I've never been to the zoo, and I've heard that there are many rare animals here. I'm going to take a good look at everything tonight. As he spoke, he pulled out an old yellowed poster from his pocket. She unfolded the poster, pointed to it, and said, "I'm going to see this tree monkey and this dwarf monkey." I've heard that this is the closest creature to us humans. ”

Isn't this the promotional poster that someone brought back from a trip to Colombo in Bellafa ten years ago! Easter was shocked by Sonya's inventory. She even kept it!

As for tree monkeys, dwarf monkeys, stupid monkeys and the like, he didn't care at all. Some apes are just that. It's a big deal to feed them some bananas.

"Do you know where these animals are? The zoo is huge. ”

"Of course, of course. Sonia nodded several times. "I was prepared. She pulled another yellowed poster out of her pocket.

"Zoo Guide!" Esther couldn't have been more speechless. This is a guide to visiting the zoo ten years ago, and there is a zoo tour map on the back. "Are you going to find the monkey house in the middle of the night with this ten-year-old map?" Esther lowered his voice, trying not to show the suspicion in his tone.

Sonia nodded affirmatively, "Come with me." That's right. ”

The zoo seems to be tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Fooling the stone golem at the door, the two of them didn't meet anyone along the way, except for some cleaning golems that had ceased to function, and a mysterious mousetrap. This makes Esther very strange. In this kind of place, even if it is to protect rare animals, the number of people on the night shift in this kind of place will definitely not be reduced to this point.

"Is this the Monkey House?" Esther looked at Sonia with a blank expression. The place marked on the map as a monkey house is actually a body of water. "I knew it was going to happen. Esther muttered helplessly in his heart. If it's daytime, the zoo's guidance golems at each intersection can help show the way, but it's almost 10 p.m. The Golems have all gone dormant.

"That's what the map says!" Sonia looked at Esther with innocent eyes, holding it up in front of him, "I don't blame you for that! ”

"It's not fake. Esther carefully looked at the map in front of him with the help of the magic light source of the street lamp next to him. He searched for some of the most prominent landmarks on the map, comparing them with what he saw along the way.

"Let's take a look here and here, maybe there's something to discover. He pointed to two locations on the map.

"Animal hospital, zoo restaurant. Sonia bewildered as she read the name of the place Esther had pointed out.

"That's right, hospitals and restaurants, as long as there are night shift staff, there will be people in these two places. ”

"Are you going to ......?"

"Of course, I grabbed someone to lead the way. Now, let's change up the outfit a bit and add some deterrent. Esther said, pulling out the black cloak from the Cultist's armband.
