Chapter 656: Tracking the Snake
Xia Qing walked along the cracks of the mountain from west to east and from top to bottom, but she did not find any more snakes.
She entered the hidden valley from the southeast mountain stream entrance, and patrolled the valley with Li Kai. After confirming that it was safe, she walked to the tent and asked in a low voice, "Is Da Zi okay?"
When Xia Qing came in, Da Zi was sleeping in the tent. Now he is still sleeping, which is very abnormal.
Li Kai whispered, "He couldn't stand the pain this morning, so he took two painkillers and fell asleep."
Xia Qing took the supplies and medicine she brought from her backpack and handed them to Li Kai, "Does he often do this?"
Li Kai shook his head, "This is the first time I see him in such pain. It's worse than during the rainy season."
The snake suddenly appeared this morning, and Da Zi, who was poisoned by the snake, was also in great pain. Is there any connection between them?
Xia Qing told Li Kai not to leave the valley, and then took the three snakes that Li Kai caught in the hidden valley out of the valley and continued to search other areas.
It was not until two hours later that Xia Qing found the sixth fiery red snake from the creek flowing down from the top of the mountain.
There are many reddish shrubs and weeds in this mountain area. If Xia Qing did not have the ability to evolve magnetic perception, he might have mistaken the small snake drifting in the water for a straw that fell into the water.
Disguise, perfect!
Xia Qing immediately took out his mobile phone and recorded a few seconds of video and sent it to his idol, asking what to do with the snake.
Zhang San directly ordered: Follow it, see where it goes, and pay attention to concealment. The other five snakes were handed over to the Qinglong guards and sent back to the No. 7 territory.
Xia Qing's magnetic perception distance for this red snake is five meters, and he will not lose it even if he tracks it at a distance. However, "Brother San, what if the snake is attacked or preyed on?"
Zhang San replied, "Then catch the predator. If it is not accidentally eaten, then the predator that can prey on the snake and not be poisoned to death has extremely high research value."
"Understood." Xia Qing put down her phone, kicked away the two evolutionary rats that pounced on her legs, and contacted the Qinglong team members who were watching the other two snakes to come and take the snake.
The stream where Xia Qing found the snake was located on the southeast side of the third peak of the 50th Mountain. It was not affected by the poison gas bombs. The vegetation was dense, there were many wild animals, and there were many dangers. Even Xia Qing, a well-equipped four-series evolutionist, had to be extremely cautious when acting alone here.
When Xia Qing found that the stream flowed into the valley, it did not flow southward to the direction of human territory, but flowed northward to the deeper and denser evolutionary forest. He was ready to encounter an emergency that he could not deal with. He immediately took out the single-soldier aircraft in his backpack and stepped on it to fly away.
Snake in the stream? Killed.
Relying on her keen hearing, vision and magnetic sense, Xia Qing avoided dangers one after another, chasing the snake in the stream through the fourth peak of the fifty-third mountain and into the fifty-third mountain.
The water flow here is relatively gentle, and Xia Qing stopped to suck a bottle of special nutrient solution.
The special nutrient solution made from the spinach she planted had long been used up, and the nutrient solution she was taking now was bought on credit from Yang Jin.
Although the nutrient solution bought on credit was of better quality than the one bought from outside and the price was slightly cheaper, as long as Xia Qing thought that Yang Jin's spinach seeds were exchanged with her, she felt that the taste of this nutrient solution was far worse than what she squeezed herself.
When the stream became wide and turbulent, the snake still floated forward along the stream like a straw, and Xia Qing decided to apply to catch the snake and retreat.
Although she was a four-element evolver, she had no experience in moving alone in the depths of the evolutionary forest, so she was scared.
"You continue to follow up." Commander Zhang San issued an order, "According to the direction of the stream, you will be able to meet Yang Jin in an hour. You obey Yang Jin's orders, he knows when to retreat."
"Received." Xia Qing hung up the phone, cut off a half-meter-long chameleon that pounced on her, added some insect repellent to her body, and continued to move forward.
Although she was wearing a special protective suit and insects could not hurt her at all, it was also very dangerous to be surrounded by a large number of insects. Because this would not only block her vision and interfere with her hearing, but also attract the attention of birds of prey in the air.
"Brother San, I can complete this task alone. Let Xia Qing drive the single-soldier aircraft back to the territory and perform other tasks?" Yang Jin on the other side of the mountain made a suggestion to the disaster relief commander Zhang San.
Zhang San directly rejected it, "Xia Qing is the main executor of the observation mission. You are responsible for assisting her and protecting her safety. In case of emergency, retreat immediately."
Xia Qing, who has magnetic perception, advanced vision, advanced hearing ability, and has gained the trust of the wolf pack, is the best executor selected by the commander.
"Got it." Yang Jin took the order and continued forward.
More than an hour later, Xia Qing met Yang Jin at the intersection of two streams, feeling more at ease.
Seeing Xia Qing, who was covered in dirt, walking towards him, Yang Jin immediately asked, "Were you attacked? Are you injured?"
"No, I just ran into two evolved man-eating crocodiles and got covered in mud. You keep an eye on the snakes first, I'll clean them." Xia Qing quickly washed off the mud on her protective suit with clean stream water, and chased after them to cover the rear.
With Yang Jin leading the way, Xia Qing walked much more easily. After the outer surface of her protective suit dried a little, she took out the remaining half bottle of insect repellent and sprayed it on her body.
After she finished spraying the front of her body, Yang Jin turned sideways, "You go to the front, I'll spray your back for you."
"Thank you, spray it all." Xia Qing handed the medicine to Yang Jin, walked in front and stared at the three snakes in the water, two green and one red.
After Yang Jin sprayed Xia Qing with the medicine, he put the empty bottle directly into the side pocket of his backpack, "I will lead the way in front. Third Brother said that you are the main executor of this mission. My mission is to protect your safety."
Since Third Brother ordered, Xia Qing was not polite and followed Yang Jin to take a breath. Although she took the special nutrient solution, her nerves have been tense for several hours, and she is a little tired mentally.
Half an hour later, the three little snakes actually moved upstream in unison and headed towards the valley in the west. Xia Qing asked, "Captain Yang, is this Hill No. 55?"
Yang Jin nodded, "It seems that they are almost at their destination."
After walking forward for a while, Xia Qing felt that the seemingly harmless tree in front was actually a very powerful evolution-killing plant, and its attack method was unknown. When she was about to remind Yang Jin, Yang Jin had stopped, "There is danger ahead, let's go to the other side of the stream, follow me."
"Okay." After Yang Jin jumped to the other side of the stream, Xia Qing also jumped over. She suspected that Yang Jin was also a magnetic evolutionist, so he could detect the existence of the killing evolutionist plants.
However, she didn't ask anything, and after taking a break, she suggested, "Captain Yang, I will lead the way."
She didn't discuss with Yang Jin, but directly asked him to retreat. No matter how many people form a team, as long as they are the main players, they must take turns to lead the way according to the rules.
Xia Qing is now the main force, not a general evolutionist who is responsible for carrying bags and carrying things and needs to be protected by others.
"Okay." Yang Jin turned sideways and let Xia Qing cut through the thorns in front.
The speed of the three small snakes swimming upstream is much slower than that of swimming downstream, so the two people's speed is not fast.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the three small snakes swam into a small pool of about 60 to 70 square meters formed by the impact of a tall waterfall.
As soon as Xia Qing approached the pool, he felt something was wrong. There are at least 20 killing snakes nearby!
