Chapter 682: Aggressive Killing of Evolved Bamboo

After Xia Qing led the team to continue moving forward for 300 meters, Liangzi issued another announcement on the intercom, "An evolved raptor with a wingspan of about four meters is circling in a small area in the sky."

The evolved raptor began to circle in a small area in the air, indicating that it had found prey and was preparing to attack.

A raptor with a wingspan of four meters would not have any difficulty in catching Tan Qi.

Xia Qing ordered, "Brother Yue, defend against the raptor, Tan Qi, follow Brother Yue closely, and the team continues to move forward."

"Received."

Tan Qi tried to respond to the captain's order calmly like everyone else, quickly shortening the distance between him and Uncle Yue, and Shi Du also shortened the distance between him and his mother.

The raptor, which circled twice in the air, folded its wings and dived down. Its target was the honey badger in a flat area without big trees 300 meters west of the human team.

The honey badger was not a speed evolver, and it was too late when it found that it was being stared at.

After being caught by the raptor, the honey badger screamed, twisted its body and bit the legs of the stinky bird that caught it.

At the moment when this raptor, who was not sure whether it was an eagle or a vulture, grabbed the honey pot and flapped its wings to take off, the leopard hidden in the dense forest suddenly jumped over and pinned it down, biting its neck hard.

The raptor screamed, let go of the honey badger, and tried to drive away the leopard that was pinning it down with its claws and wings.

The honey badger, who had escaped death, did not run away. He angrily circled around the fighting raptor and leopard, and bit the thigh of the bird that had just grabbed him.

After confirming that the raptor could not escape, the leopard dragged it into the dense forest. Of course, the honey badger that was biting the bird's leg was also dragged in.

Soon, scavenging birds began to gather in the sky.

When Xia Qing found that the raptor did not take off again after landing, he knew that it had become the prey of the leopard. This area was temporarily safe, and he ordered the team to continue moving forward.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the human collection team finally reached the target bamboo forest.

Half of this large bamboo forest belongs to Mountain 49, and half belongs to Mountain 52. The team's mission area today is the bamboo forest belonging to the No. 52 mountain.

Thanks to the people in the safe zone of the snake-killing order for giving up the northern evolutionary forest, the lords here have the opportunity to come out and dig bamboo shoots.

After entering the bamboo forest, the birds in the air no longer pose a threat to humans. The danger here mainly comes from snakes, rats and aggressive plants.

Xia Qing ordered the team to rest in the cleared area for fifteen minutes, with Yue Haiying and Liangzi as the defense, and she began to patrol the target bamboo forest to eliminate dangers.

The main targets of the elimination are snake-killing and other types of venomous snakes and evolved bamboo rats. After a circle, Xia Qing caught more than 30 venomous snakes, but did not find any traces of snake-killing snakes or evolved bamboo rats.

The reduction of bamboo rats should be because the Qinglong team scared away the bamboo rats here when they caught the edible bamboo rats in the bamboo forest and kept them in captivity.

When turning to the northeast of the bamboo forest, Xia Qing used magnetic sense to capture an aggressive bamboo-killing evolution.

Last year, she followed Hu Zifeng's team to this bamboo forest twice to dig bamboo shoots. At that time, there were no aggressive and evolutionary plants here.

The evolutionary forest is indeed changing all the time.

Xia Qing put away her gun, held the machete in both hands and moved forward slowly, and paid attention to the air toxin detector on her arm with the corner of her eyes.

She quickly locked the target and stopped two meters in front of the target plant. This bamboo is tender in color, and it should be a tender bamboo that has just sprung up this year, but its height has exceeded 10 meters.

The air toxin detector shows a green light, indicating that the air here does not contain toxins.

There is no damage on the nearby bamboo poles, indicating that the offensive means of this bamboo is not to launch bamboo leaf darts.

There is no dirt or insects stuck on the bamboo poles and bamboo leaves, indicating that it has not evolved sticky substances and formed a symbiotic relationship with some small animals that eat insects.

The soil here is soft, as if the land has just been turned over, there are not many grasses, and there is no rustling sound of insects around. Judging from this, the means of this bamboo may be to use the roots in the soil to launch attacks.

Xia Qing threw a small stone at the tree trunk. Its magnetic field did not change violently. There were only a few small snakes on the tree, which she could handle by herself.

So, she pressed the intercom button and issued an announcement, "An aggressive bamboo with evolutionary characteristics was found in the northeast of the bamboo forest. It will be cleared in one minute. The team will put up iron umbrellas to prevent attacks from bamboo leaves and roots."

"Received." Deputy Captain Yue Haiying immediately ordered the team members to take precautions.

When the one-minute time was up, Captain Xia Qing rushed straight to the aggressive bamboo with a machete and used 60% of his strength to chop it.

"Bang!"

At the moment when the machete collided with the bamboo pole, Xia Qing found that it was a hardness-evolved bamboo. But even though it was hardened, it could not stop the sharp hatchet of the sixth-level strength evolver from chopping it.

Xia Qing drew his knife to avoid the thin roots piercing the soil, and used 100% of his strength to make another fierce cut.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

The bamboo, which had evolved in hardness and was slashed off above the soil by Xia Qing, had a large number of fibrous roots piercing out of the soil, but no new buds emerged from the cut end.

This attack method was too childish. Xia Qing put away the machete and took out the pickaxe, stretched the telescopic steel handle, dug out the main root of the bamboo, shook off the soil, and threw it on the bamboo pole.

The fibrous roots on the main root exploded, like a snake with steel thorns. Although there was no sign of withering, its magnetic field gradually weakened and disappeared.

After sampling the bamboo roots, soil and bamboo leaves, Xia Qing pressed the intercom to report the situation and continued to patrol.

When she met up with the team members, the rest time was over.

The bamboo forest within the 52nd mountain area is divided into three areas, and the ten-man team is divided into groups to search for edible bamboo shoots.

Xia Qing, Qi Fu, Yuan Yan and Tan Qi are in one group, Liang Zi, Shi Mu and Shi Du are in one group, and Yue Haiying, Yu Shou and Huo Lei are in one group.

In the past year, Shi Du and Yuan Yan have obtained enough natural food in the territory, and their evolutionary abilities have been improved. Shi Du has been upgraded from a level 4 power evolver to a level 5.5, and Yuan Yan has been upgraded from a level 2 to a level 3.5.

Shi Mu may be old, and her power evolution level is still two and a half levels, and has not been upgraded.

Qi Fu has not been upgraded either, and is still level 3. This may be because his evolutionary ability is stimulated by infection with super evolution bacteria, and cannot be improved by eating a large amount of nutritious natural food.

In order not to attract attention, the lords whose abilities have been improved did not publicize it to the outside world. They still farmed honestly and followed Xia Qing to improve their combat power and make money.

"There is one who has not shown his head here!" Although Qi Fu has the lowest level of power evolution in the team, he is very good at finding bamboo shoots. He could find the tender bamboo shoots buried underground by looking at the soil and stepping on the ground.

"The content of the poisonous element is 7‰, yellow light." After measuring the quality of the bamboo shoots, Qi Fu said happily, "This bamboo shoot weighs at least 30 kilograms. Wife, come and dig this."

"Puff."

Yuan Yan walked over quickly and heard a noise above her head before she could move. She looked up and saw a snake that Xia Qing had chopped into two pieces with a long knife falling down. She was frightened, "Aqi snake?"
