Chapter 458 Discovering the Hidden Valley

Xia Qing tested and found that the rabbit caught by the broken waist wolf was a red light, but she still neatly packed it into a sealed bag and stuffed it into her backpack to carry with her.

The red light rabbit can be used to exchange supplies with Zhong Tao.

Half an hour later, the team successfully arrived outside the crevice where the red squirrel was injured. Xia Qing asked, "My Queen, Broken Waist, Second Brother, can you smell the breath of bears, wolves or other large beasts and birds of prey here?"

The head wolf did not come forward, the Broken Waist Wolf sniffed and thought about it, and the sick wolf also sniffed and did not react.

It seems that there is no danger worthy of the wolf pack's vigilance, but something has aroused the interest of the Broken Waist Wolf.

Xia Qing looked up at the cracked boulder that was more than 30 meters high and almost vertical, "Let's go up and look for where we can enter the peanut growing area."

When it comes to climbing mountains, the evolved wolves with sharp claws are much better than humans without sharp claws.

After Xia Qing climbed up more than 30 meters with a climbing rope, he found that the boulder was more than 30 meters high, the top was tilted, and the width of the crack was about the same as the bottom, so he had to continue climbing.

After climbing up more than 100 meters, Xia Qing finally reached the top of the crack. This is already the slope of the third peak. The crack is east-west and at least four or five hundred meters long. The widest part is more than one meter, and the narrowest part is less than ten centimeters. The difference in width is because some parts of the rock cracked and fell into the bottomless crack.

This kind of rock crack appeared a lot after the great crustal movement in the early years of the natural disaster, and some mountain cracks are still moving slowly.

Most of the crack section grows moss plants, and looking down, it is bottomless.

In Xia Qing's view, this is just an ordinary mountain crack, which will not arouse any desire to explore for the team collecting edible plants.

Xia Qing looked down with the sun and found some weeds with tenacious vitality growing at the bottom of the crack, and her heart began to feel cold.

Peanuts are sun-loving plants. Although they are not very demanding on light, insufficient light exposure will affect their growth and development. Logically, green peanuts should not grow in such places, unless they are a species that does not require much light after evolution.

Could it be that green peanuts do not grow here, and red squirrels just take a shortcut through this rock crack when collecting peanuts?

Xia Qing shook his head, no.

This kind of rock crack is a habitat for shade-loving animals such as snakes and bats. Red squirrels are very timid. If peanuts do not grow in the rock crack, they will definitely not go in. Xia Qing picked up a fist-sized gravel and threw it down. In less than 4 seconds and less than 5 seconds, Xia Qing heard the echo of the stone falling to the ground, indicating that the depth of this rock crack reached 100 meters.

And...

Xia Qing changed his position and threw a few stones. After listening carefully, he concluded, "This is not a crack, but a very spacious space, otherwise there would not be such an echo. Let's go, let's continue to search along the crack. We will definitely find a place to enter the crack. It's too dangerous to go down from this position."

Seeing that Xia Qing wanted to enter the crack but didn't dare, the leader stretched and sped out. The broken waist wolf chose a different direction from the leader and also went to explore. The sick wolf rubbed Xia Qing's legs with his body in protective clothing and lay on the rocks to bask in the sun.

The two brain-evolved wolves went to explore the way, and Xia Qing was not idle either. He walked forward along the crack, throwing stones every few steps to confirm the depth of the crack, and listened carefully to the movement inside.

It seems that there is no sound of large animals flying or walking in the cave.

The leader wolf came back soon and motioned Xia Qing to follow it.

Xia Qing wanted to ask, "Don't we have to wait for the broken-waisted wolf to explore the other side?" But she felt it was a bit redundant, so she followed the leader with the sick wolf. After walking for twenty minutes, they actually came to the entrance of the bear cave which was very hidden halfway up the mountain.

Xia Qing was silent, "My Queen, the broken-waisted wolf, do you mean... that crack in the stone is connected to the bear cave?"

The broken-waisted wolf grinned, revealing its cute little fangs.

The leader wolf took the lead and walked in. Xia Qing took out the headlamp and put it on his head, illuminating the inside of the bear cave.

This bear cave was slanting downward, and it looked only about ten meters deep. The scene inside the cave was in full view, and there was no other entrance or passage at all.

The broken-waisted wolf and the leader wolf stopped together in front of a stone more than one person high on the side of the cave. The broken-waisted wolf followed and sniffed, and also looked back at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing stepped forward and observed carefully for a while, and his eyes lit up. After she cleaned up the gravel on the ground, she rolled up her sleeves and got ready, full of confidence, "Let me do this kind of physical work!"

This stone weighs at least three tons, and it is impossible to lift it, but Xia Qing, a level six strength evolver, can still push it.

After moving the stone away and seeing the half-person-high cave entrance behind, Xia Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "This stone was placed by the evolved bear? Smart!"

The head wolf glanced at Xia Qing with its golden eyes.

Xia Qing almost reacted instinctively, her mouth was faster than her brain, and she immediately praised, "It's amazing that the queen can find this place from the cracks on the top of the mountain. The queen is the king of wolves, countless times smarter than the evolved bear!"

The head wolf entered the cave first, and the broken waist wolf looked at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing understood, and followed the head wolf into it, followed by the sick wolf, and finally the broken waist wolf. When she first entered, Xia Qing still had to lower her head, but after walking more than ten meters inside, she couldn't even reach the top of the cave with her hand.

After walking out of the cave for more than 20 meters, Xia Qing was stunned by the scene in front of her. She suspected that she had just passed through a time tunnel, and in a few steps she went from the Blue Star Evolution Forest to the Dream Planet.

This is a valley that is more than 20 meters wide and has no end in sight, running east-west. The beam of light fell from the narrow sky at the top of the valley and shone on the lush plants in the valley.

That's right.

Unlike the evolutionary forest outside that was destroyed by the cold wind, it is still lush here. Xia Qing glanced at the wolves who were also shocked, and then looked at the air toxin detector on his arm. After confirming that the air was non-toxic, he took off the protective mask directly.

The moist and warm air hit her face. It was winter outside, but it was warm like spring here.

Is this... normal?

In the ten years since the natural disaster, it was the first time that Xia Qing found such a dreamy scenery. She liked it at first sight.

"Brother Handsome Wolf."

The broken waist wolf who was looking around looked back at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing's eyes sparkled, "Brother Handsome Wolf, you are so smart, you must have a way to make the two bears living here never come back, right? This place is already ours, right?"

No!

"You guys take a rest here first. I'll go spray the deodorant and block the cave entrance. Don't let the people from Territory No. 9 find this place." Xia Qing turned back to the bear cave, sprayed the deodorant inside and outside the bear cave, then went into the cave, put the boulder leading to this secret valley in the bear cave back in place, and then returned to the valley. She saw the sick wolf holding a big rabbit in its mouth, running towards her with its tail swaying.

Rabbit! Alive!

Xia Qing was surprised, "Second brother, you are awesome!"

Xia Qing immediately took the rabbit that kicked hard and checked the blood on its neck that was bitten by the sick wolf.

Yellow light! Female! It's a perfect match with the rabbit at home! Xia Qing cheered, and immediately took out the anesthetic and special hemostatic medicine, anesthetized the rabbit after stopping bleeding, and stuffed it into the bag.

Next is the main purpose of today, to find the green light peanuts that grow here.
