Spoilers ahead
In the Mountain Pine area, Logger Vick, voiced by Tan Xiao, visits a unique amusement park called Wild Life after hearing about it from an old friend. The park features specialized bracelets that allow guests to transform into animals of their choice, including a “super-transforming” version. To win a grand prize of one million dollars, contestants must compete in a series of elimination rounds and a final challenge. Believing this money will solve all his problems, Vick begins enjoying the attractions.
Meanwhile, the bear brothers Bramble, voiced by Zhang Wei, and Briar, voiced by Zhang Bingjun, secretly enter the park and form an alliance with a mysterious man named Leon, voiced by Pei Liu. As Vick explores his options, he receives a sample package of animal forms he can assume, ranging from a lion and a chameleon to a bear.
Although his team struggles during the first round, they manage to secure a spot in the finals in a tense, down-to-the-wire finish. Through these events, it is revealed that the park was a joint venture between Tom and Leon. Leon, who invented the technology to honor his deceased daughter Lily, eventually sought to shut the park down because the super-transforming technology was unsafe and caused animals to enter a savage state.
The climax occurs when Tom is transformed into a chimera and engages in a fierce battle with Leon over the safety of the park. In the chaos, Vick destroys the artificial intelligence controlling the system. This triggers a massive explosion that kills Tom, though Vick, the bear brothers, and Leon manage to escape safely. In the aftermath, while speaking to a news anchor, Vick claims that a primitive state is the true key to happiness—a statement he uses primarily to deceive the remaining staff of Wild Life.
