Chapter 681 Leopard and Honey Badger

After leaving the territory, the ten-man team formed a column and headed north. As the captain, Xia Qing walked at the front, Liangzi held the line at the back, and Yue Haiying was in the middle to take charge of both sides.

Tan Qi, who was officially on a mission for the first time, was walking in front of the Yue Hai Camp. Her face was tight, and she was paying attention to the movements around her. She always reminded herself that even a centipede or a grasshopper should not be taken lightly, because they could kill people. of evolvers.

Yue Haiying could see Tan Qi's nervousness. If she walked to the bamboo forest in this state, even if there were no dangers or fights on the way, most of her physical strength would be consumed.

However, he didn't train Tan Qi like a new recruit. Tan Junjie and Yanlong have already taught this little girl everything they need to teach. Next, she will find her shortcomings through actual combat and improve little by little.

The ten-year-old child, before the natural disaster, was a primary school student who needed to be picked up and dropped off by his parents when going to school. During natural disasters, survival skills are a compulsory course that children start learning as soon as they are sensible. The earlier they master survival skills, the greater their chances of surviving in the event of a sudden disaster.

The ten people set out at seven in the morning and walked north along the valley between Mountain No. 49 and Mountain No. 50. The first half of the trip, that is, the section from the territory to the third peak of No. 50 Mountain, includes the driveway opened when the fire extinguishing isolation zone was built last year. Although the road is already covered with grass and small trees, the risk factor is not high.

Xia Qing used the sharp machete Huo Lei had just given her to clear the way, cutting the grass, vines, thorns, and small trees into two halves to make way for humans.

The reason why the passage needs to be opened is because the team will return along this road carrying bamboo shoots in the afternoon. If the road is not cleared now, the small animals hiding in the passage on the return trip will increase the difficulty of defense for the team's defenders, make the load-bearers more nervous, and slow down the team's progress.

If you can't return to the territory before dark, you will be in trouble.

After passing the third peak of No. 50 Mountain, the road became bumpy and rugged, and the task of opening the road became more difficult. Shidu asked for instructions, "Sister Qing, can I go on a journey for a while?"

After entering the territory, Shidu ate better than before, his physical fitness improved, and his power evolution increased from level 4 to level 5 and a half. He is the evolver with the power evolution level second only to Xia Qing in the team, and is capable of taking on more tasks. .

"Okay." Xia Qing handed the machete to Shi Du and warned, "Go along the animal path and avoid the big trees."

"Understood." Shi Du happily took the machete and opened the way ahead.

"At nine o'clock, about thirty meters away, there are large animals." After passing the third peak, there were more animals in the evolutionary forest. Liangzi, who was adjourning the formation, informed Xia Qing of the danger, "It could be a leopard or a wolf."

Wolves and leopards are both large predatory beasts in the evolutionary forest, but the lords of the northern region had completely opposite feelings when they heard about these two animals:

Leopard - danger; wolf - Xia Qing's friend and patron saint.

Of course everyone hopes it is the latter.

Xia Qing also heard the movement. She was too familiar with wolves. Just by hearing the movement and looking at the hiding area, she knew it was not a wolf. "It's probably a leopard. The team will move forward as normal. Liangzi will continue to pay attention to the leopard's movements and report at any time."

"receive."

Ryoko responded, and Tokiwatari continued to clear the way and push forward.

Tan Qi clenched her pistol and kept an eye on the movement on the left. Leopards are born kings of speed, and after evolution they are even unbeatable. As a speed evolver, Tan Qi is particularly concerned about this animal. She wants to see with her own eyes this animal that is faster than Yang Jin, the top speed evolver. .

Nervous? nervous. Are you afraid? Not afraid, because the captain was calm and ordered the team to move on, indicating that the leopard posed no threat.

Liangzi continued to report the leopard's movements, "The leopard is following us forward, and the distance is still about thirty meters. A medium-sized animal appears in the evolutionary forest on the right. From the sound, it should be a badger."

Xia Qing immediately ordered, "Everyone should pay attention. If the badger rushes over, move away immediately."

Badgers are omnivorous small and medium-sized animals, belonging to the mustelidae family like weasels, and their ability to attack with poisonous gas cannot be underestimated.

The reason why Xia Qing asked the members to stay away is that these animals are very vindictive, especially the honey badger known as "Brother Flathead".

The most appropriate way to describe the honey badger is "to take life and death lightly, and do whatever it takes if you don't accept it." Xia Qing has a deep understanding of this.

This animal has white hair on its head and back, and the rest of its body is black. It has a pair of small black eyes, and it looks a bit cute at first glance.

At that time, the trailblazer in Xia Qing's collection team discovered the honey badger and wanted to kill it and take it back.

Unexpectedly, the little guy's skin was so thick and slippery that he ran away. After escaping, it secretly followed the team for a day. The team members just took it for fun and didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, when they returned in the evening, a honey badger jumped out and bit the foot of the team member who kicked it.

Although the honey badger was killed by the team's defenders, the team member whose foot was bitten was also amputated due to infection with evolutionary bacteria and lost half of his leg.

From then on, Xia Qing met Badger Zi in the Evolutionary Forest and refused to provoke him if he could. Even though her marksmanship is now better and she can hit with one shot, she rarely hits the flat-headed brother among badgers.

Because of this thing, they actually move in groups. If you kill one, you will be remembered by a group of vengeful men.

Every time he encounters an animal that should not appear in the evolutionary forest here, Xia Qing will thank the humans who created the "zoo" in his heart.

Thanks to them for gathering animals from all over Blue Star into a small zoo, which greatly enriched the animal species in the evolutionary forest after the natural disaster!

"sand--"

"defense!"

When the subtle sound of beating leaves through the forest sounded on the left side, Xia Qing issued an order and aimed with a sniper rifle.

The task team immediately changed from a column to a triangle formation. Xia Qing, Liangzi and Yue Haiying occupied the triangle, facing outwards in preparation for counterattack. The little Tan Qi and Shi Mu, who had the weakest defense, were in the middle.

"hiss--"

Tan Qi couldn't help but gasped when she saw the golden leopard. Just like what the school teacher said, leopards are too stealthy. If it hadn't been for the captain's order, Tan Qi wouldn't have noticed that it was so close.

Xia Qing's gun was pointed at the leopard, which he had met once before, waiting for it to make a choice. If it attacks, Xia Qing will shoot. At this distance, she is sure to kill it with one shot; if it retreats, the human team will continue to move forward.

The golden leopard and Xia Qing, who were crawling behind the bushes, looked at each other for ten seconds before slowly retreating.

Liangzi issued a report, "The leopard has retreated to forty meters away, and the badger is less than ten meters away from us, at the two o'clock direction."

Xia Qing put down his sniper rifle and said, "Keep moving forward, Shi Du will return to the team, and I will lead the way."

"receive."

Xia Qing took the machete and started to move to the left. They have passed Mountain No. 49 and entered the area of ​​Mountain No. 52. They will reach the bamboo forest by heading east for about one thousand meters.

Turn left early to avoid the badger. Because Xia Qing saw the honey badger's cool, snow-white crew cut hair and dissatisfied little eyes through the gaps between the grass and trees. (End of chapter)
