The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

[Heavenly Father - Earthly Mother: Even Zhulong has appeared! Zhulong is a mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, specifically the Zhongshan section...]

[mx's deskmate (school has started, please don't kick him out): The science popularizer has reappeared]

[Coolheart: This battle isn't even on the same level. The size difference is too huge. It's like an elephant stepping on ants! (Trying not to laugh)]

[Jiang Qing: Wait, what? How did they even get Zhulong? Just how powerful is the director?]

[Inexperienced: Probably because of connections.]

[Little Silly Qilin: I feel like they're about to strike again.]

[M (Don't kick me when school starts): I'm going to add nitroglycerin to the cat food cans. If Puss in Boots shakes the can even once, it will explode and turn Puss in Boots into an afro!]

[The lazybones: Reply to M (Don't kick me when school starts) 6.]

[Bai Hechou baijie: Reply to M (Don't kick me when school starts) Huh? ? ? ]

…………

The film crew's residence in Caiyun Village.

The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze was blowing, and Puss in Boots was strolling leisurely down the street with a water cup in his hand, looking completely relaxed.

Xiaohang squatted down beside him, and after a moment he couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to get such a big-name actor like Zhulong here?"

Puss in Boots paused, then stood still, his back view unfathomable. He slowly turned around, his eyelids lowered, his face as calm as the wind: "That's a long story."

"It was a bright and cheerful morning..."

-

"Director, why did you have to call me to go fishing?"

Bai Jie, carrying a bucket of water, lagged half a body length behind Puss in Boots, his little face showing a resentful expression, with tree shadows and light spots flickering across his face.

He should have stayed home on the weekend as a complete shut-in, lying in bed playing on his phone, but he was forcibly dragged out to go fishing.

"Haha, don't be afraid!" Butterflies fluttered by, and a blue and white figure nimbly darted through the woods, having a great time.

It appeared and disappeared through the gaps in the grass, but it always remained around the two beasts that were moving forward.

When Bai Jie goes out, he will naturally have a brother-obsessed companion, and this time it is Tian Lu, unsurprisingly.

"It's not good for you to stay at home all the time, you should come out and go out more often," Puss in Boots said casually.

"Are you fishing for me? You always fail to win, so you called me here to change your fate?" Bai Jie looked somewhat suspicious.

"Uh, how is that possible? I've caught plenty of fish that weigh forty or fifty pounds. There's another reason why I called you over this time."

For a seasoned angler, being called a "fishing air force" is a great humiliation!

If this gets into the circle, you'll be ridiculed and made fun of, and you'll be put on the pillar of shame. They'll use your big catch to show off wildly until you catch a big fish yourself, then you can finally hold your head high!

"It's about the new actor. I had someone do a divination, and they said that when I was fishing, there would be auspicious signs that could cause a great upheaval. So I decided to bring you here."

Puss in Boots turns around.

Bai Jie looked incredulous: "Who can predict my fate? Unless heaven and earth allow it."

"Ah Zi, the new actor in the crew is the one I met through fortune-telling."

"Isn't that even more unreliable?" Bai Jie was speechless.

After Linghu Zilai's message, his reputation as an astrologist and fortune teller quickly spread.

After becoming a psychologist, the crew gained another special talent, and his nonsensical language became quite famous.

"Anyway, it won't hurt to give it a try. Besides, you can be used as a wishing machine anyway. I hope I can catch an unprecedented, ultimate giant fish, or even a dragon."

As Puss in Boots spoke, a look of piety appeared on his face, and he began to make a wish quietly.

Bai Jie was even more speechless; he felt that this wish was unlikely to come true.

He's tried making random wishes with a hole in his head before, but his parents completely ignored him!

Well, it's not entirely unreasonable. After he was unwilling to accept his fate and prayed 35 times in one day, Di Ting called to relay a message from the Great Emperor: "Child, stop making a fuss."

Bai Jie immediately became obedient. His parents wanted him to be respectful, so he had to be respectful. Otherwise, his parents would be the ones making him look good. He had seen the dark cloud that was drifting across the sky.

With the surging waters, the three beasts soon arrived at their destination, a river.

The sound of babbling water lingered in my ears, and three incense sticks were neatly inserted on an incense burner, emitting wisps of smoke.

Puss in Boots knelt reverently on the prayer mat, and bowed with his paws together in front of the two bewildered Pixiu brothers behind the incense burner!

"Catch a big fish! Catch a big fish! Catch a big fish! Catch a big fish!"

Both brothers broke out in a cold sweat at the same time. Bai Jie's eyes were fixed on him, while Tian Lu hesitated awkwardly and said, "There's really no need for this."

The two brothers were so embarrassed that they dug their toes into the ground because they hadn't been worshipped since elementary school!

"Let's give it a try, what if it really works?" With that, Puss in Boots grabbed his little stool and ran to the riverbank to cast his line.

My daughter has already prepared everything in advance. After she comes back, she can start fishing after praying for good fortune and completing the ceremony!

I can't bear to look at the divine song; it's just too embarrassing.

however……

Boom!

The water surged skyward, the ground shook violently, and a large flock of birds in the nearby mountains and forests instantly took flight.

The river water, turning into a light drizzle, fell gently, outlining a faint rainbow in the sky!

A massive, dark shadow blocked out much of the sunlight. Tianlu stared blankly up at the sky, while Baijie swallowed hard and slowly turned around...

Its enormous body dominated the river, causing the surging waters to stop flowing. Its jet-black scales emitted a deep, eerie luster, and a dragon's head lowered its gaze downwards.

Puss in Boots, with its tiny body, looked like an ant standing in front of him, but the fishing line hanging from its paws went all the way up into the mouth of that giant elephant!

"And so, I hit it off with Candle Dragon at first sight and invited him to join the crew." Puss in Boots held a water glass in one hand, tilted his head back with his eyes closed, and his fur moved seamlessly.

Xiaohang was amused and annoyed: "What are you bragging about? Tell me, how much did it cost?"

Puss in Boots sighed, "Why does nobody believe me when I tell the truth?"

The two beasts chatted as they walked and soon arrived in front of a house.

As the door opened, sunlight streamed into the room, illuminating a figure.

His hair was jet black with orange-yellow stripes, and his burly body turned his head at the sound, revealing a pair of pupils as large as a corpse.

"Hooray, the director is finally here! We've been waiting for you guys for ages!"

"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting." Puss in Boots responded politely, and together with Xiaohang, they went behind the table and sat down facing the beast that Nachi Makoto had just come to his senses.

This time, as always, it was an interview.

With such a heavyweight mythical beast as Zhulong joining the film crew, his storyline obviously can't just end so abruptly!

But this person's price tag is too high, and the cost of filming is also frighteningly high.

Puss in Boots felt the budget was tight; it wasn't worthwhile to keep inviting this big shot to produce big-budget movies, given the short-form animation style of "Beasts and the Beasts."

So the director had a brilliant idea and decided to have Zhulong swallow the three brothers, and then have new characters emerge from his belly to perform the plot!

And that's how this interview came about!

"The Hou is an ancient mythical beast that feeds on dragon brains and once terrified the dragon race."

"Later, he died and turned into a zombie, becoming the world's first zombie beast."

After reading the other person's resume, Puss in Boots took out two photos and placed them on the table.

One of them looks exactly like the beast in front of us, while the other is 8% similar in appearance, but its golden-red color is exceptionally domineering, and its eyes are bright and spirited!

"These are the two photos you sent, one of him now, and one of him before he died?" Puss in Boots asked.

“That’s right!” The divine beast’s face turned serious, and it nodded very earnestly.

Xiaohang slapped himself on the face, speechless: "You turned into a zombie in ancient times, right? Where would you get photos from back then?"

"No, this is something I had someone make based on my old design."

"Uh...okay, I guess." Xiaohang didn't know what to say.

"Alright then, you've passed." Puss in Boots put away the photo, both amused and exasperated.

The interview was really just a formality; the "mythical beast" (a nickname for a child) still had quite a presence. I only asked about it out of curiosity.

However, since it's made with modern technology, the extent to which it's made with high-quality materials is questionable.

However, it takes real effort to make it look this cool. Puss in Boots plans to use this design in the story's previous introduction of Hou.

"Thanks, director! But I have a little brother who also wants to join."

"Okay, I'll call him over so I can meet him."

"Uh, but the director is yelling right here."

"Meow?"

The two paused in their act of getting up, then sat back down in bewilderment, with Puss in Boots looking at the person opposite them in surprise.

"Where are you? Have you gone invisible?"

“Here it is.” Under two curious gazes, Hou placed a paw from under the table on the table. The moment the paw left, Puss in Boots’ pupils widened in shock!

A huge black beetle was perched on the table, its head raised, its antennae trembling slightly in the air. She almost couldn't resist slapping it with her claw!

"Meow...! This...this is your little brother?"

"I am the most loyal insect by the boss's side, and I have followed the boss for 200 years!" The big black insect spoke, its jet-black and glossy body raising and waving its antennae!

Puss in Boots fell into a deep silence, goosebumps rising all over his body!

Just when the situation was getting awkward, the door suddenly burst open!

"Director, ah—! A bug!?"

The sudden scream pierced everyone's eardrums. They all turned around and saw the Treasure-Spitting Rat at the door, one paw gripping the doorknob and the other holding a basket full of jewels, its face filled with terror!

When she saw the insect heading straight at her, she was so frightened that she took a half-step back!

"Hey, don't be afraid, I..."

"Ahhhh——!"

Another scream rang out, and a bright red pearl flew through the air, smashing Wang Duozu into the wall with a bang!

Puss in Boots and the other two creatures were startled and quickly looked over. The precious gem on the wall had fallen and rolled to the corner.

An insect was almost flattened and stuck to the wall, its antennae twitching slightly. It took several seconds before it slowly slid off!

"Even if I look a little scary... it doesn't mean I have to come up here and..."

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The third scream!

Wang Duozhu's heart tightened and he looked up. A rain of colorful pearls, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, shot towards him. A deadly sense of crisis suddenly burst forth from every trembling cell in his body!

"Boss, save me!!"

A heart-wrenching scream pierced the roof and soared into the sky, reaching every animal in the entire crew's camp on the ship!
