Chapter 488: This is Probably the Realm

Ning Fei merely intended to play around with the Sumatran rhinoceros for a while.

The rhinoceros charged at Ning Fei once more, but he dodged it with ease again.

"The aggressiveness of a rhinoceros is truly terrifying."

"I can feel the wind whistling past."

"It could easily send a car flying."

Ning Fei said with a calm expression as he vaulted over the rhinoceros's back.

The netizens no longer knew what to say.

Good heavens, he's talking about how terrifying it is while playing leapfrog over its back.

Why do I feel like such a massive rhino is just Temple Master Ning's toy?

Temple Master Ning's thought process is indeed quite unique sometimes.

The rhinoceros attempted to ram him a few times, but upon realizing it couldn't hit Ning Fei, it grew somewhat annoyed and bellowed continuously.

Its demeanor seemed to say, 'Two-legged beast, you've gone too far!'

'If you have the guts, fight me head-on!'

'What kind of man just dodges?!'

Ning Fei sensed the rhino's frustration and attempted to communicate with it using Thought Transmission:

"Big guy, I mean you no harm."

"I'm just passing through."

"With a size like yours, what could I possibly do to you anyway?"

"Here, have some fruit."

Ning Fei took out the wild fruits he had picked along the way and slowly walked toward the rhinoceros.

Temple Master Ning, don't do anything rash!

What the hell, what is he trying to do?

This is too funny. Does he think a few fruits can bribe a rhino?

I feel like anything is possible when it comes to Temple Master Ning.

Ning Fei offered the fruit.

The rhinoceros looked at Ning Fei, then at the fruit, and gradually calmed down.

The fruit Ning Fei had picked was one of the most delicious varieties in this Tropical Rainforest, and very hard to find. The rhinoceros's eyes went wide, completely fixated on it.

"It's really good, try it."

Ning Fei said with a smile.

Half-doubting, the rhinoceros slowly stretched out its head and ate all the fruit from Ning Fei's hand.

The emotions between animals and humans were rarely complicated.

Ning Fei possessed a special aura that made the rhinoceros feel very comfortable.

Thus, when Ning Fei fed it fruit, it was willing to accept.

He actually bribed it just like that?

Good heavens, the top predator of Sumatra Island, bought off with a few pieces of fruit! I wouldn't believe it if someone told me!

This is probably what they call charisma!

Ning Fei gently stroked the rhino's neck.

He knew exactly where these big guys were most sensitive.

After a moment, feeling the time was right, Ning Fei called Little Dog over.

Little Dog immediately trotted over to his side.

Then, under everyone's shocked gazes, Ning Fei scooped up Little Dog and hopped right onto the rhino's back.

Not far away, the Mentawai person witnessing this scene was completely dumbfounded.

To the Mentawai tribe, the rhinoceros was the absolute number one existence that could not be provoked.

This man had gone to the river to drink water today and accidentally angered a rhinoceros, nearly scaring his soul out of his body.

Yet now, a stranger who had appeared out of nowhere was leisurely riding on the rhino's back.

Was this some kind of joke?

In the live stream, the netizens were both amused and exasperated at the sight.

The reason was simple.

It was one thing for Ning Fei to ride on the rhino's back.

But Little Dog was mimicking Ning Fei's posture—its butt sitting on the rhino's back, hind legs spread, and front paws raised—making the scene look exceptionally comical.

Little Dog could never have dreamed that one day it would be riding a rhinoceros!

The pinnacle of a dog's life!

When you follow Temple Master Ning, what's a little rhino riding?

My God, this Huaxia man is actually riding a rhino just like that!

Ning Fei pacified the rhinoceros, and surprisingly, it was quite obedient.

To the rhino, the weight of a human was negligible. Its thick armor alone weighed over half a ton, and it easily supported all of it.

"Rhinoceroses are intelligent, spiritual animals."

"Despite their large size, they like to eat tender grass and fruit; they are true herbivores."

"Unless it's a special circumstance, their temperament is generally quite docile."

Ning Fei said to the viewers in the live stream while riding the rhino.

Little Dog was incredibly smug. It wanted to wag its tail but found the position inconvenient, so it just stuck out its tongue, panting excitedly.

Rhinos like to eat tender grass? So they're basically just like old cows!

Tender grass is delicious, alright.

The netizens always focused on the weirdest details, immediately throwing out a few teasing remarks.

Riding a rhino made traveling forward much more convenient.

The surrounding scenery was beautiful.

Many peculiar flowers bloomed throughout the Tropical Rainforest of Sumatra Island.

The Rafflesia was just one type; there were many other tall clusters of flowers that broadened one's horizons.

Ning Fei also continued to explain at a leisurely pace.

"Look over there, those are wild durians!"

"Durian is the king of fruits, and it originates from Indonesia. Its flesh is rich in many kinds of vitamins, which are very good for the human body."

"Although it has a pungent smell, the flesh is sweet and has a creamy texture, making it very popular."

"However, I don't really like eating it."

Ning Fei added, pointing at a few large durians up ahead.

Mentioning durian split the netizens into two camps.

One camp thought durian was incredibly delicious, just too expensive.

The other camp thought the fruit was so foul-smelling that they couldn't understand how anyone could like it.

This reminds me of when I was little. My brother hid from me in the bathroom to secretly eat durian. When I opened the door, I thought he was secretly eating crap. It's still a childhood trauma to this day.

Hahaha, I can picture it now.

What if your brother was actually eating crap?

Durian IS crap!

I dare to eat durian, but do you dare to eat crap?

The netizens were exceptionally cheerful, continuing to chat endlessly about durians.

Ning Fei, however, looked at the wild durians and walked straight past them.

He belonged to the camp that disliked durian; it was one of the few fruits he wasn't fond of eating.

After walking a bit further, Ning Fei discovered some more good stuff.

"Durians are fairly common in Huaxia, but this type of fruit is much rarer."

"It ranks number one among the top ten fruits in Indonesia."

"It's this: the snake fruit."

Hearing Ning Fei's words, the netizens all turned their attention to the stream.

Within a cluster of bushes grew many fruits resembling pine nuts. They were wrapped in a layer of brown skin with a pattern that looked very much like snake scales.

Wow, wild snake fruit!

I know snake fruit! It's one of the most famous fruits in Southeast Asia. I had it once when I went to Sanya, and it was extremely expensive!

This fruit has very high environmental requirements and only grows in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia.

Is it good? Where can I buy some?

I must be ignorant, I've never even heard of it.

"Snake fruit tastes quite good—it's sour, sweet, and a bit astringent."

"I can't believe I ran into these."

"Good luck."

The snake fruit grew relatively high up, so Ning Fei had the rhinoceros stop, then stood on its back to pick the fruit.

After gathering a few, Ning Fei peeled off the shell of a snake fruit, revealing the white, tender flesh inside, and took a bite.

The texture was very good.

Seeing this, the rhino grunted twice.

Ning Fei laughed, peeled several more snake fruits, and fed them all to the rhino.

This type of fruit was also considered one of the rhino's favorites, so the massive beast appeared extremely happy.

The atmosphere in the live stream was wonderful.

It was a picture of man and nature living in harmony.

The netizens also felt exceptionally relaxed.

Everyone could only sigh in admiration:

Running all the way to Sumatra Island just to feed a rhinoceros... This is probably the Realm!
