Zhu Li said it was not serious, so Xia Qing didn't ask any more questions and continued to lead the team forward.
“Xia Qing, the tree that burned Lao Kuang should be on the road ahead. You have to be careful.”
When the task team was preparing to enter the evolutionary forest under the fourth peak of Mountain No. 50 from the valley between Mountain No. 49 and Mountain No. 50, Qi Fu in the team reminded Xia Qing who was leading the team.
Hu Ningsheng, who was responsible for the defense on the right side, spoke, "Xia Qing, can I open the way with you?"
Hu Ningsheng comes from Territory No. 15 and is a level five auditory evolver. He was burned by poisonous gas while performing a mission, lost his left ear, and his hearing ability was damaged, so he was forced to retire. However, his limbs are sound and he is now one of the main force members who go out to perform collection tasks in Territory No. 15.
In today's collection team, Xia Qing, who has the highest combat power, drew out his long knife and said, “I'll go over and take a look first. If I need help, I'll call you. Everyone will repair where they are.”
"receive."
"receive."
The team members rested in place. Captain Xia Qing held a long knife and followed the footprints left by everyone yesterday into the evolutionary forest and began to look for the evolutionary tree that could exude corrosive venom.
From the perspective of the team members, Xia Qing was searching visually, but in fact, Xia Qing had used magnetic sense to lock the target.
Xia Qing walked forward more than ten meters and stopped in front of an ordinary deciduous tree over six meters high. Because the leaves of this tree have fallen, Xia Qing cannot determine what kind of evolutionary tree this is based on the shape of the branches. But this tree made Xia Qing feel something was wrong.
There is something wrong with this tree, which is similar to the kind of tree Xia Qing encountered when he was being carried by Huo Zhun and chasing the escapees of Territory No. 9 in the evolutionary forest.
There was only one tree with something wrong within more than 20 meters nearby, and its branch had a small part broken.
After locking the target, the more you look at it, the more strange it becomes. The trees in this evolutionary forest grow densely, but there is a ring with a diameter of more than three meters around this tree. This ring is the growth space that the tree has cleared with its venom.
Very awesome, very powerful.
Xia Qing ordered the team to come and join her through the intercom, bypass the tree, and continue moving forward.
Zhu Li didn't dare to doubt Xia Qing's judgment, but she really couldn't believe that this ordinary-looking tree almost caused her Lao Kuang to lose an arm.
Zhu Li followed Xia Qing and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qing, don't you need to cut down that tree?"
Xia Qing explained, "We haven't checked its danger level yet. If we cut down the tree rashly, venom may erupt from the cross section of the tree stump, causing greater casualties. When we return, I will break off a section of the branch and send it to Territory No. 7. Third brother will tell you after testing."
"I understand." If this tree sprayed highly corrosive venom, it would be really scary. Zhu Li kept Xia Qing's words in mind. These are the knowledge that can save her life at critical moments.
After the team advanced for more than half an hour, they entered a valley sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. Xia Qing quickly discovered today's excavation target: kudzu.
Mountains are very magical.
The low temperature on the mountain is as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius, but the temperature in the wind-sheltered valley below the mountain is minus 4 or 5 degrees Celsius, and the leaves of vines and grasses have not yet fallen off.
Even though it is winter, the safest period for activities in the evolutionary forest, it is still full of dangers. This is also the reason why Qi Fu and the others asked Xia Qing to lead the team. Without Xia Qing to lead the team, with only the combat power and weapons of a few of them, entering such a valley would be courting death.
“Xia Qing, look, the leaves of these kudzu vines are green. We tested them yesterday and the outermost kudzu vines are yellow!” Qi Fu's voice was filled with excitement. Such a large area of kudzu must have yellow kudzu underneath. As long as there are yellow light kudzu roots, you can make kudzu powder, and if you are lucky, you can also find kudzu bugs. One kilogram of yellow light kudzu powder can be sold for 130 points. If you are lucky enough to find yellow light kudzu bugs, each one can be sold for 10 points! If you are lucky enough to find one with the green light, then they will send it.
With these points, lords can purchase better seeds, better farming tools and equipment.
As the team leader, Xia Qing could understand everyone's excitement. She calmly ordered everyone to take out the anti-insect agent traded with Territory No. 7 and spray it all over their bodies. After spraying this potion, humans can be protected from attacks by ordinary and generally evolved insects for three hours.
Then, Xia Qing asked Yue Haiying, Yu Shou, and endurance evolver Cheng Ping from Territory No. 15 to stay behind to protect the other members of the team. Xia Qing, Shi Du, and Hu Ningsheng entered the valley first to kill the poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, and poisonous insects that jumped up to attack them. Only after the rats have been cleared will the team be allowed in.
Xia Qing, Yue Haiying and Hu Ningsheng carried guns to protect the safety of the team, while others tested the quality of kudzu, dug kudzu roots, and looked for kudzu bugs.
Xia Qing is more familiar with how to dig kudzu roots and find kudzu worms than defending. Because this is what she often did when she joined the mission team before she came out to farm.
Shidu also often performs excavation and collection tasks, and also digs kudzu roots. He shared his experience with everyone, "Kudzu bugs are usually found in the bulges on the kudzu vines. The bigger the bulges are, the more bugs there are. Let's look for the yellow vines first, and then follow the instructions. The two sisters-in-law and Brother Zhao looked for kudzu worms, and my mother, Brother Yu, and Brother Qi dug the kudzu roots together. "
Zhao Ze suggested, "I'll dig kudzu with you first, and then I'll replace you when I can't dig anymore."
After agreeing on the division of labor, everyone acted quickly.
Soon the good news came out, Zhu Li exclaimed, "The kudzu beetle has been found and pupated!"
Shi Mu answered happily, "The pupae are cleaner and taste better. It's a pity that it's a yellow light. If it's a green light, it can be sent to Territory No. 7 to add food to the third brother."
Yue Haiying, who was investigating at the front, contacted Xia Qing through the intercom, "Xia Qing, there are fresh traces of wild boar gnawing here, which should have been left the day before yesterday."
Pudzu has a relatively high water and sugar content, and is a very favorite food for wild boars. It is normal for wild boars to be found here.
Xia Qing replied, "Copy that. Brother Yue, let's change our defensive positions."
"Understood." Yue Haiying, who had lost his right hand, exchanged defensive positions with Xia Qing, leaving the most dangerous position to Xia Qing.
Qi Fu announced on the walkie-talkie, "Evolutionary rat feces were found near the kudzu root, fresh."
The fighting strength of the rats is related to their evolution level and quantity. Xia Qing ordered, "Spray the No. 1 agent to repel rats and dig again after ten minutes. Brother Hu, you should always pay attention to the movements of rats."
"Received." Although Hu Ningsheng's hearing ability has been damaged, he is still sharper than ordinary people.
“Xia Qing!” Yuan Yan reported the good news, “I found the green light kudzu vine!”
Green light, the idol can add another dish today. Xia Qing's eyes also gleamed, "Bring all the green light kudzu back, and mark the kudzu for storage. Shidu, you are responsible."
"Received." Shi Du immediately put down his pickaxe and ran towards Yuan Yan's location. Harvesting green kudzu is more valuable than digging yellow kudzu.

The rhythmic sound of stepping on the snow came to Xia Qing's ears. She reported in a low voice, "A large beast is approaching. The entire team must gather and the defenders are ready." (End of Chapter)
