Engaging in close-range gunfights with hyenas is extremely thrilling, because they are actually larger than most people imagine, and the closer you are, the more pressure their size exerts.

With a "bang," a bullet shattered the ear of a snarling hyena...

Seizing the moment when the hyena recoiled in pain, Joe Ga rushed forward and smashed the butt of his gun onto the hyena's nose, forcing it to howl and retreat.

This feeling of driving away a beast at close range is incredibly exhilarating, even more so than shooting at a stray lion from dozens of meters away.

But Joe Ga's thrill didn't last long. While he and Nis were back-to-back, fighting off the hyenas high on something bad they'd eaten, Karman precisely located a female hyena noticeably larger than the others...

The old fellow didn't waste any words; he used his M500 large revolver to take down two hyenas attempting to protect the queen, then shot and wounded the queen. He then rushed up to it, grabbed the Hyena Queen by the neck, flipped it onto the ground, and thrust his hunting knife into its abdomen, gutting it in an instant...

The Hyena Queen dragged its messy entrails across the ground for a few meters, letting out a piercing wail.

And that sound acted like a tranquilizer, instantly calming the frenzied hyenas.

Ayu seemed displeased with Karman's method. She walked over to the Hyena Queen, pressed down on its neck with one hand, and then twisted its mouth forcefully with the other...

From ten meters away, Joe Ga could hear the sound of bones cracking, while the hyenas in front of him recoiled as if their spines had been broken, retreating with their bodies hunched and tails tucked.

Joe Ga originally thought it would take some effort to deal with them, but to his surprise, the pack of about forty hyenas scattered instantly after the queen's death, their earlier boldness to attack the convoy feeling like an illusion.

Watching as the blood-stained Karman roamed the grassland, inspecting the corpses of the dead hyenas, Joe Ga didn't want to disturb the old fellow who had already entered work mode. He pointed to the giraffe still circling the convoy and said to Ayu, "I think I recognize that guy, can you calm it down?"

Ayu smiled, put away the hunting knife in her hand, and said, "Its name is Shalu. This guy has been visiting the resort every month for the past few years to see Namo and get some good food..."

Saying this, Ayu borrowed a medical kit from the field medic bird, and while walking towards Shalu, she said, "It's injured, don't come close until I handle it."

With that, Ayu strode towards the giraffe, humming a strange tune as she walked...

Then, everyone was amazed to see that the extremely agitated Shalu gradually calmed down, even making cow-like "mooing" sounds...

When Ayu reached Shalu and raised her right hand, Shalu actually slowly placed its head against Ayu's palm.

Dorian sidled up to Joe Ga and whispered, "Boss, I think Ayu is the real wizard. She can tame those wild beasts without any tools..."

Joe Ga shook his head and said, "Don't compare Ayu to a wizard. Wizards are nothing but a bunch of frauds who peddle concoctions and pretend to be mystical...

I always thought that since the incidents in Congo happened so long ago, those rogue wizard types should have been nearly wiped out. I didn't expect there would still be some coming to cause trouble for me."

Dorian watched as Ayu affectionately hugged the giraffe's head and led it to the side, allowing the convoy's people to disembark...

He smacked his lips and shook his head, reaching into his bag to retrieve the Buzz-cut he encountered on the road, only to get bitten as soon as he reached in, letting out a yelp...

"FUCK..."

Joe Ga watched as Dorian hopped around, vigorously shaking the black-and-white ball of fur in his hand. He shook his head disdainfully, then headed towards the convoy...

Seeing Sayyid, Chris, and Eric getting off with the protection of several armed guards, Joe Ga frowned as he approached the three men, and said disdainfully, "Wasn't a helicopter supposed to pick you up? Why didn't you go back with it?"

Sayyid, with a stern face, said, "Hu Lang, the guide told me that when predatory animals go mad like this, the herbivores on the grassland will be forced to migrate to avoid danger.

This place belongs to us now, and those animals are valuable assets. We absolutely cannot watch them slip away."

Chris spread his hands and said, "I've been through too many dangerous situations lately. I'd love to leave, but there's no seat on the helicopter."

Saying that, Chris disdainfully looked at Eric and said, "This guy is like he's on a high, and you'd think he was the boss of this grassland."

Seeing Eric wanting to speak up, Joe Ga decisively raised his hand to signal him to remain silent and then said, "Someone gave some of the carnivores something like stimulants.

This drug makes these predators irrational, meaning they are no longer hunting just to fill their bellies.

So the grassland has become very dangerous, and I suggest you go back. The resort side is definitely safe."

Eric, excitedly wanting to speak again, was once more signaled to silence by Joe Ga, and the short, chubby, bearded man shouted angrily, "Hey, Hu Lang, you can't drive us away. An exciting event like this might not come along for decades.
