After Yao Rong patted his chest and promised to treat everyone to hotpot at the top room in Modu, Yu Guanghui finally abandoned his idea of recording a video to post on social media.

After all, being in an alternate world now makes it impossible to post on social media, right?

Later, the two returned to the wooden cage.

At this time, Ma Ning and others were gathered outside the wooden cage, discussing how to deal with the little girl inside.

It's strange.

Clearly, a large group of people were standing around, and Ma Ning and others weren't intentionally lowering their voices.

Yet the little girl consistently leaned apathetically into one corner, as if devoid of life.

This is quite an abnormal phenomenon.

Don't be fooled by some novels that describe someone as being utterly persecuted and despondent, often featuring phrases like 'eyes devoid of any ripple' to illustrate the character's misery when meeting the protagonist.

In reality, this situation doesn't exist.

The neurons in a person's eyes react in all circumstances; at the very least, one would lift their eyelids to glance and then shift their gaze.

Thus the little girl's response at this moment is extremely abnormal — she might either be a deaf interstellar gamer or there must be other reasons.

Among the crowd, Wei Fan is the most knowledgeable about the Damo Realm, so he was carefully observing the situation inside the cage.

After a few minutes.

He flattened his left hand and struck upwards with his right fist:

"I understand now."

Ma Ning hurriedly asked:

"Clan Leader Wei, have you discovered something?"

Wei Fan pointed to several somewhat hidden talismans at the four corners of the wooden cage. These talismans were similar in color to the wooden cage, requiring a closer look to spot them:

"Professor Ma, Colonel Lin, have you seen these talismans?

This type of talisman is called the Tier One Sealing Talisman, and a set consists of five pieces.

Once activated, the space formed by the five Sealing Talismans becomes reinforced by a peculiar force, making it extremely stable.

As five talismans are needed to simultaneously seal the space, without sufficient capability to restrict the other, most cultivators or demon beasts can smoothly escape before the space is formed.

Therefore, the value of these talismans isn't high and they are generally used to reinforce restrictions.

Once the space is formed, cultivators or demon beasts below the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer find it difficult to escape from it."

He then moved closer, pointing at a blue talisman behind the girl's neck:

"As for this type of talisman... it's called the Tier One Sealing Talisman.

Its effect varies depending on the material used, affecting between the first to ninth layer of Qi Cultivation.

The Sealing Talismans have a single effect - to completely block a person's senses and perception.

The quality of the Sealing Talisman on this little girl is average, approximately effective against those below the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Ma Ning raised his eyebrows, exclaiming:

"Block senses and perception?

.....No wonder, I've been wondering why she doesn't react to us at all. I suspected she might have some sensory disorder.

It seems that some members of the Lin Family found it troublesome and directly used these methods to restrict this little girl."

He then thought of something and asked Wei Fan:

"Patriarch Wei, do these talismans cause harm to humans?"

Wei Fan shook his head, saying:

"There's hardly any physical injury, but mentally... it varies from person to person."

Ma Ning fell silent for a moment.

Emotionally, he leaned toward rescuing the little girl, but rationally he knew that it was necessary to be prudent at this time.

If she were to cause trouble on the helicopter, it might lead to needing enforced ways to calm things down, so maintaining the current situation might be best.

But it's still not fitting to let the little girl remain with blocked senses; after all, there's no guarantee about her mental state's threshold.

If her mental limits break during the flight back to the camp, that would cause a major issue.

Therefore, Ma Ning pondered for a while and said to Wei Fan:

"Patriarch Wei, is there a method to put this little girl to sleep first?"

Wei Fan patted his chest, readily accepted:

"That's simple, leave it to me."

Then he walked to the wooden cage, tore off several talismans, and used a key handed to him by the stout man to unlock the cage.

He then found a good angle.

Raised his hand and delivered a quick karate chop to the back of the little girl's neck.

Snap—

After completion, Wei Fan clapped his hands and noticed Ma Ning and others staring at him with an exceptionally peculiar look.

He puzzledly asked Ma Ning:

"Professor Ma, what's wrong? The little girl is already asleep."

Ma Ning's Adam's apple moved a few times and then, with an awkward laugh, said:

"Very good, very good, thanks to Patriarch Wei."

Only now did they recall that this fellow's style in the battlefield usually involves wielding a big cauldron to smash people.

A few minutes later, the stout man with three others approached from the refugees:

"Clan Leader Wei, gentlemen in charge, the refugees have been briefed."

Seeing no reaction from Wei Fan and others, the stout man tentatively asked:

"Clan Leader Wei, then should we... leave?"

Wei Fan nodded slightly:

"Please do."

The stout man and his companions exchanged looks, understanding the Wei Mansion would no longer welcome them.

So they paid their respects and turned to leave.

After they departed.

Ma Ning said to Yao Rong:

"Captain Yao, we may trouble you and Comrade Guanghui once more.

Please coordinate with Colonel Lin to bring down some compressed biscuits and distribute them to the refugees, and help maintain order.

Nian Dong will stay here and assist.

The comrades from the automobile company also set out, and they should arrive within an hour or so, at which time everyone will follow Colonel Lin's arrangement."

Yao Rong, with a serious expression, spoke in unison with Yu Guanghui:

"Rest assured, organization! We will cooperate well with Colonel Lin's tasks!"

Ma Ning nodded toward him and then said to Wei Fan:

"Clan Leader Wei, time is of the essence, let's head back to the base with this wooden cage for now."

Wei Fan happily agreed:

"No problem."

......

An hour later.

The helicopter landed smoothly on the temporary helipad near the camp.

Wang Qiang, who had already received the instructions, stepped forward quickly to assist in transferring the wooden cage into a more enclosed biological isolation box and swiftly transported it to the Plant Biology Laboratory.

Due to the diverse species in the Damo Realm, the camp invested heavily in the Plant Biology Laboratory.

Currently, concerning scientific capacity and laboratory environment, the Damo Realm's Plant Biology Laboratory is not much inferior to Huaxia's local ones.

Considering there might be huge secrets hidden within the Beast-eared Girl.

This time Lin Li also personally stepped in, donning his long-missed lab coat—don't forget, he is also a biology expert.

The kind who has won the Technology Advancement Award.

Once the wooden cage was delivered to the lab, the plant biology team first carried out X-ray photography and blood sample tests on it.

Needless to say.

Wei Fan's 'manual hypnosis' was quite effective; the little girl still hadn't woken up by this time.

Once a series of procedures were completed, Wei Fan removed the sealing talisman from the girl and placed her in an FJ79-grade biological container.

"A standard human child's skeletal torso, yet possessing animal ears and tail."

Looking at the analyzed results of the images, Lin Li mused while stroking his chin:

"The ears have cartilage, the tail has a tailbone, and they're connected to the body...

This is the first time we've encountered such a situation."

On the side, Wang Qiang added:

"Not only that, we also analyzed her blood.

Mature red blood cells in her blood are without nuclei, indicating she's a mammal.

However, the chemical composition of her blood and its pH level differ from both Earth and Damo Realm humans.

We conducted a coagulation reaction experiment between her blood and human blood samples from the lab, which resulted in red blood cell lysis leading to hemolysis, meaning her blood is different from human blood."

Lin Li couldn't help but ask: "What blood type are our samples?"

"O type, provided by Colonel Lin."

"Oh, that's fine then."

He then looked at Wei Fan:

"Clan Leader Wei, have you ever heard of such half-human half-animal creatures?"
