Chapter 436: Zou's Peculiar Ecology

Xie Wen, who failed to get Inuarashi's consent, did not feel much loss. After all, there are still many ways to obtain the historical text. At most, he could let Sharmi sneak a trip. Xie Wen did not think that Cat Viper and his knights could detect the "Thunder Cloud without Moon" that even Rayleigh and Aokiji would be caught in.

"Then, it should be okay for us to walk around Zou, right?"

Xie Wen was ready to take the cats away. After all, in addition to the historical text, they still had a lot of things to do, such as Robin wanted to understand the history here, Shirahoshi wanted to try to establish a connection with the elephant master, and Huiyuan Meow was also very interested in some unique plants here.

Inuarashi nodded.

"Of course, please feel free to do as you please. Except for the forbidden area of ​​​​Whale Forest, you can go anywhere in Zou."

"Uh..."

Although Xie Wen already knew where the historical text was hidden, Inuarashi's answer was too obvious, right?

Xie Wen's little mouth also complained again at this time: "Aren't you telling us clearly that the historical text is hidden there?"

"That's right," I didn't expect that Inuarashi had no intention of hiding it. "Anyway, even if I don't tell you, you will be warned by the Knights when you approach the Whale Forest, so it's meaningless to hide it. And you didn't choose to deceive me before, so I certainly can't do such an unrighteous thing."

Although he didn't lie, Xie Wen, who was already prepared for the cat to peek, rubbed his nose awkwardly.

How to say... The fur tribe is really simple...

It made Xie Wen a little embarrassed to deceive them.

Of course, that's what he said, but when other methods really don't work, Xie Wen will definitely not hesitate to peek.

After a few more polite words with Inuarashi, Xie Wen and his friends left here, planning to take a good look at Zou first.

"Is that Oda your special source of information?"

After returning to the streets of Zou and dealing with those enthusiastic fur tribes again, Robin finally found an opportunity to ask.

"Well, you can say that."

"Who is that Oda? Why haven't I seen him, meow?"

As the first Felyne who followed Xie Wen, Sanji Meow was very unfamiliar with this name.

And the second puppet who joined also pulled Xie Wen's ear and yelled: "Klee doesn't know either, brother Xie Wen, who is that? Klee also wants to meet meow!"

"In fact, I haven't seen him in person either, I just read his books." Xie Wen continued to tell the truth.

(=ˇˇ=)

The little puppet turned its head and looked at Xie Wen seriously for a long time before muttering in a voice that everyone could hear: "Strange, Xie Wen didn't lie, but why do I always feel that he is lying to Klee?"

"I didn't lie to you," Xie Wen scratched her chin, "It's just that there are some things I don't know how to explain to you, so I omitted them."

"So that's the case, meow?"

Klee pouts and thinks for a moment, then quickly gives up on getting to the bottom of this matter, and starts to purr happily while rubbing her furry little head on Xie Wen's face.

Robin, who brought up this topic, also didn't delve into it. She just wanted to satisfy her curiosity because Xie Wen always mentioned his "special source of information."

After getting the answer from Xie Wen, she turned around and discussed the unique urban planning and ecological environment of Zou with Huiyuan Meow and Huamei Meow.

"It's really strange. Whether it's trees or buildings, they seem to be very tall here, and the positions of other plants are also very strange..."

(°ω°≡°ω°)

While turning his head to observe the surrounding environment, Huiyuan Meow muttered in confusion: "And those crocodiles have very long legs, as if... they evolved to be like this specifically for a certain geographical environment."

"You guessed right, this is the unique 'climate' of Zou!"

Xie Wen suddenly felt his back sink, and then a rabbit head squeezed in between him and Huiyuan Meow from behind and rested on his shoulder.

"What are you doing! You scared me!"

Huiyuan Meow, who was almost squeezed down, raised his paw and hit Carrot's head with a series of cat punches.

"Sorry, sorry," Carrot apologized with a smile, while leaning close to Huiyuan Meow's face and her Kaluqiu, "I actually came to inform you to take shelter from the rain."

"Take shelter from the rain?" Huamei Meow looked up at the sky, "But I don't feel that it is going to rain, and the altitude here is so high, it should be difficult to encounter rain at ordinary times... By the way, if that's the case, where does your fresh water come from?"

Just as Carrot was about to answer, the bell of the city gate rang again, and several furry animal heads stretched out from the nearby buildings. They shouted at the top of their voices: "The fire-breathing rain is coming! Everyone, hurry up to the high ground!"

Xie Wen and the others quickly followed the other fur tribes to climb to a higher position, and at the same time he finally remembered what this "fire-breathing rain" was.

"Strictly speaking, the fire-breathing rain is not rain," Carrot explained at this time: "It is the elephant master's bath twice a day."

As she explained, a huge elephant trunk could be vaguely seen rising in the clouds ahead, followed by a large amount of water spraying out from it, flying over the city of Zou, and then falling down with a bang.

"...This rain is actually seawater. After falling, it will flow out along the waterway through the filtering device in the center of the city and become the domestic water for this country."

Gallot pointed to the tallest building in the middle of the city and the fish and shrimp tumbling in the water and continued: "A lot of fish will fall, so there is no need to worry about food. This is the rain of Zou's grace."

As the streets in the city were flooded by "rainwater", everyone also knew why the trees, buildings, and even crocodiles here were so strange.

"Wow! So fun meow!"

(=`=)

The interested little puppet twisted his body restlessly, stretched his paws to his schoolbag, and asked repeatedly: "Can Klee go to fry fish meow? Can meow? Can meow?"

"Fish frying? Is it a way of fishing other than Zou? Absolutely! I'm also curious about how people outside catch fish!"

The little rabbit, who knew nothing about Klee's bombs, agreed naively.

"Oh——! Go! Buzz bomb meow!"

(==)

The little puppet, who had been impatient for a long time, waved his paws and left afterimages. In the blink of an eye, he threw more than ten buzz bombs.

Xie Wen had no intention of stopping him from beginning to end. After all, under his and Hua Mei's education, the little puppet now knows how to be sensible. She would not use bombs with excessive power in the city.

"Ah... Oops! Klee accidentally threw out the compressed bouncing bomb that Sister Suika helped her make, meow!"

Xie Wen: "!!!"

"Hey hey hey... Klee didn't mean it, meow..."

(=＜=)

Faced with Xie Wen's surprised look, the little puppet decisively tried to get away with it by being cute.

"Everyone lie down! The big explosion is coming, meow!"

While Xie Wen was still staring at Klee, Huamei, the most reliable member of the investigation team, had already loudly warned the surrounding fur tribes.

The other members of the investigation team had already found cover skillfully, and took Carrot and the nearby fur tribes to lie on the ground together

"Boom--!!!"
