Moss and vines covered the rugged rocks on three sides of the valley. Several light blades passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the trees high in the evolutionary forest, lighting up the water vapor of the waterfall and the three snakes in the pool.
After entering the pool, three slender snakes, two green and one red, no longer pretend to be grass stalks, but swim flexibly and lingering in the pool.
There is something weird and evil everywhere here.
Yang Jin quickly surveyed the surroundings and after confirming that there were no high risks, he walked towards Xia Qing and formed a defensive formation with her, "What did you find?"
Although no powerful beasts or aggressive killing plants were found, Yang Jin still showed great vigilance. Because he is not the only one here, there is also Xia Qing who has never gone deep into the evolutionary forest.
Xia Qing pointed to the bottomless pool and said, "There are snakes down there, at least a dozen."
Yang Jin's visual evolution level was not as high as Xia Qing's. After Xia Qing pointed out the location, he discovered the entangled small red and green snakes hidden in the cracks of the stone wall two or three meters underwater.
Killer snakes have always been considered a rare and highly dangerous species. This is why after discovering the killing snake, Zhang San would initiate disaster relief procedures, and Yang Jin and Luo Pei also rushed over from the safe zone immediately.
But what he saw today has overturned Yang Jin's understanding. Humanity's understanding of the evolution of forest creatures is still too basic.
Yang Jin took off his backpack and said, "I'll check out the underwater situation first, and you'll be responsible for guarding it."
"Okay, be careful." Xia Qing has already used magnetic sense to detect. Although there are several aggressive zombie plants around, the danger level is not high. As long as you don't touch them, the danger will not be triggered.
But there must be something unusual around the pool, or to quote Li Si's famous saying, it is "the result of a combination of factors" that can attract snakes from twenty or thirty miles away.
Since there is nothing special about the plants above the water, the key factor among these "multiple factors" may be hidden in the deep pool that Xia Qing's investigative abilities cannot reach.
It's time to use the equipment.
Yang Jin took out a small underwater detector the size of a fist, placed it against the edge of the pool, and began to explore the underwater situation.
"Buzz-buzz-"
Xia Qing, who was on guard duty, felt the cell phone vibrating in his pocket and directly ordered, "You idiot, answer the phone."
Yang Jin, who was standing next to her and commanding the underwater detector, raised the corners of his mouth slightly after hearing this.
After the call was connected, before Xia Qing could ask, Zhang San spoke, "Xia Qing, the pythons in the lake in the north of No. 60 Mountain have begun to release a breath containing strong chemical signals. They should be marking their territory and attracting mates. . Where did the snake you were following swim to?"
As soon as he heard Zhang San's words, Xia Qing knew something was wrong, and immediately said to Yang Jin beside him, "There is a python in the pond, hurry up..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw that the monitoring screen of the detection instrument held by Yang Jin had gone black.
Yang Jin pressed the remote control a few more times, "Tell third brother that there is a large creature in this small pool that swallowed the small detector I put down."
After Xia Qing reported the location and situation here, Zhang San analyzed, "There may be pythons under the water. You mark the location of the pool first, and then install surveillance cameras nearby. Yang Jin, can you two fight against the things in the water? ?”
Yang Jin answered confidently, "You may not be able to defeat them if they jump into the water, but if they dare to come out of the water, they are definitely no match for Xia Qing and I."
The combination of top speed evolver and top sniper is indeed reassuring. Zhang San ordered, "Very good. If it doesn't attack, you stay at the edge of the pool and capture all the snakes that swim past. Then retreat until no more snakes pass by. If it attacks, take it with you if you can beat it." Come back and retreat immediately if you can't defeat them.”
"Received." Xia Qing asked with concern after receiving the order, "Third brother, there is no fighting over at No. 60 Mountain, right?"
The cubs of the wolf pack are probably not even full moon yet.
Zhang San sent the tame birds from Territory No. 8, and of course he knew the situation at Mountain No. 60. "The leaders of the wolf pack and the bear pack are watching the pythons in the lake, and there is no fight yet."
Xia Qing hung up the phone and discussed with Yang Jin first, "Captain Yang, please keep an eye on me first while I make a net bag for catching snakes?"
After Yang Jin nodded, Xia Qing took out the steel wire and fine fishing net from her backpack, and quickly made a small net bag. Then she looked around and selected a suitable small tree. Without even using a knife, she walked over and held it with her hand. When the trunk of the tree was broken, the small tree, which was thicker than an arm, broke with a "click".
Xia Qing sharply cut off the bark and branches with a knife, made the tree trunk into a wooden stick for catching snake nets, held it in his hand and tried it.
Very good, very handy.
After finishing the production, she noticed that Yang Jin was looking at her. Xia Qing explained, "I came out on a single-soldier aircraft this time. I didn't bring retractable steel pipes. This kind of material is too heavy. The snake-killing attack ability is not strong. This kind of wood A stick snake net should be enough."
Yang Jin was not questioning the quality of the snake net, but marveling at Xia Qing's strength and proficiency in making tools. "It's enough. If it breaks, you can make another one. This cost is low."
Speaking of cost, Xia Qing thought of the underwater detector that was swallowed just now. "The detector you just put into the water is not cheap, is it?"
Yang Jin smiled, "It's not cheap, but it's a trophy captured from Sufeng. This kind of detector is very strong. You can just take it out after catching the underwater creatures."
Xia Qing picked up a fiery red snake that swam against the current towards the small pool, but was not as optimistic as Yang Jin, "If the python in the water is the one that defeated the wolves in the north last July, I might not be able to get it back." ”
On July 18th last year, wolves, snakes and bears went to war on Mount No. 55. Then in the early morning of July 19th, the alpha wolf ventured into Xia Qing with an injured wolf with a broken waist and a broken leg. The territory asked for help.
After Yang Jin put the snakes in the net bag into the bag, Xia Qing asked, "Captain Yang, I forgot to ask later, what you detected at that time, wolves, snakes, bears, who was with whom?"
Yang Jin replied, "According to the video captured, at Mount 55, wolves and snakes, wolves and bears, and bears and snakes were all fighting. It was hard to tell who had formed an alliance with whom."
Later, during the revenge battle at No. 60 Mountain on the night of October 21, Broken Yap Wolf picked up Xia Qing and went over to treat the first wolf's injuries. According to her observations, snakes and bears should be in the same group.
The fights between animals must be related to food and territory. A bold speculation gradually took shape in Xia Qing's mind.
While she was investigating and killing the snake, she asked, "In mid-May last year, after the first wolf entered the wild boar breeding center to kill the wild boar, you chased it, and it seemed that it also reached Hill 55. You didn't chase it again, right? "
Yang Jin understood what Xia Qing was thinking and nodded, "Yes. Not just that time, half a month later, when I brought all the equipment and led the team north to explore the evolutionary forest, I had just entered Mountain No. 55, and later went to your territory. The injured wolf broke into the wild boar breeding center and hunted wild boars again. "
In early June last year, Xia Qing, who was hunting porcupines in the evolutionary forest, happened to encounter a wolf that had retreated after killing two wild boars.
At that time, Xia Qing knew that he was no match for the Broken Waist Wolf, so he took the initiative to give way and let it go. But she didn't know that Yang Jin went to Mountain No. 55 again at that time, "What supplies were you looking for when you led the team to Mountain No. 55?" (End of Chapter)
