Although dozens of large chestnut **** appeared on the branches after the leaves of the chestnut tree fell, this was the bait for hornets to catch birds. Xia Qing did not intend to collect them, so as not to avoid this group of evolutionary hornets with stronger attack power fighting with her.
It has been confirmed that the chestnut forest has not been destroyed by migratory birds and lightning, and Xia Qing plans to retreat and catch the animal that left a hoof mark on the beast path. As soon as she took two steps back, she heard something moving on the tree. Xia Qing was very familiar with the sound of a squirrel crawling on the tree.
Xia Qing would hear this every morning, and then a little guy appeared on her windowsill to drink water and eat the food Xia Qing placed on the windowsill.
Xia Qing turned her head and saw her cute mouse squatting on a branch not far away, shaking its big tail, rubbing its small claws, and looking at herself eagerly.
At first glance, I just wanted to have **** for free. The goal of free **** is also clear, and I hope to pick chestnuts for it myself.
Xia Qing was amused by it, "Your little look is not enough. If you turn into white hair and grow nine tails, I may be confused by you to do stupid things."
After saying that, Xia Qing no longer paid attention to this person who wanted to eat for nothing and began to track the footprints left by the beast on the beast path. The red squirrel was so angry that he jumped up and down the tree, and even picked a few leaves and threw them at Xia Qing.
The leaves floated and fell on the beast path. Xia Qing didn''t bother to pay attention to it and chased the footprints and walked forward. After tracking five hundred meters, Xia Qing had to stop.
Going further, it does not belong to the Third District of No. 49 Mountain, but the training ground for the Qinglong Team. Xia Qing listened with his ears. There was no sound of large animals moving within 300 meters ahead. This animal with a pair of hoofs was lucky and could survive today.
After giving up tracing his prey, Xia Qing simply walked back along the hillside, searching for edible plants in the valley down the slope.
From south to north, the altitude of Mount No. 49 increased, and the height from the hillside to the valley gradually increased. The position occupied by Xia Qing should be 300 meters to the bottom of the valley, and the **** was extremely steep. Standing on the hillside and looking down, the winding stream at the bottom of the valley is like an evolutionary centipede crawling among plants.
There was just thunderstorm last night and the hillside was slippery. Xia Qing did not plan to enter the valley for a carpet-style search. She only used her excellent visual evolution ability to watch from the hillside.
After walking for more than fifty meters, Xia Qing stopped. On the hillside on this side, there is a tree more than four meters tall. The leaves and leaves of the observable crown part are strip-shaped, arranged in two rows on both sides of the branches, and there are many oval green fruits hanging on the top of the branches.
Chinese torreya tree!
The fruits of the torreya tree need to grow for three years: they will produce **** in the first year, bloom and bear fruit in the second year, and mature in the third year. It is precisely because the same tree has fruits for one year, two years and three years at the same time that the Chinese torreya tree is also called the descendant tree by the locals.
When the fruit ripens in the third year, the skin of the torreya fruit will crack and it can be picked after it cracks. The kernels of Torreya are nuts, with a scent of them. They are not only nutritious but also have a good taste. Because there are fewer edible Chinese torreya fruit trees in Huisan base, the price of Chinese torreya fruit is higher than that of pine nuts!
If the team went out to perform a collection mission, they would be happy for several days.
Xia Qing has found eight Chinese torreya trees in the third area of ??Mountain No. 49, only one of which can be eaten is still yellow lights. Moreover, the largest fruit on the yellow-lantern Chinese torreya tree is only two years of fruit, and it will not be picked next year. There were many fruits on the torreya tree she just discovered in Valley No. 1. If it was edible, Xia Qing felt that she was not happy for two weeks, and she was sorry for the torreya tree more than four meters tall.
Xia Qing first picked up a stone and threw it on the torreya tree and various trees along the way. He found that these trees did not attack, nor did animals jump out or fly up, which means that the danger here is not high. She decided to go down and test the damage content of the tree.
After raising his hand to confirm that the air toxin detector he was wearing showed a green light, and after confirming that there were no large animals within 200 meters around, he quickly sprayed insect-proof medicine on the trunk of a large tree on the top of the **** before bolting the rope to the trunk. Although the climbing rope is very strong, it cannot withstand the bites of rodent evolutionary animals. It is safe to spray insect-proofing agents.
Then she added some insect repellent to herself. It would not work without spraying the insect repellent. The hillside was slippery and steep, and the vegetation was dense. Xia Qing had to focus on her feet and did not want to be distracted to deal with all kinds of evolutionary insects.
After checking the equipment, Xia Qing pulled the rope and started to go down the slope, heading towards the torreya tree more than 20 meters below. Although her feet were slippery and her vegetation was dense, it was not the first time Xia Qing worked under such conditions. With the climbing rope, she quickly went down fifteen meters and reached the position of the Torreya tree in another five meters.
A red squirrel following Xia Qing was jumping up and down on the branches excitedly cheering Xia Qing.
Why is excitement not anger? Because when you are angry, the little guy''s tail is standing upright, and when you are excited, his big tail is fluffy and shakes back and forth.
Seeing it like this, Xia Qing stopped directly.
The fruit is right in front of me. The red squirrel doesn''t pick it, but is **** crazy next to me, of course because it dares not pick it.
The red squirrel should have suffered any pain in that Chinese torreya tree, or the red squirrel has suffered any pain in other animals.
What means do you use to protect yourself in this Torreya tree?
Xia Qing encountered edible Chinese torreya trees while attending a collection mission when she was in a safe area. After the evolution of the Torreya tree, the flesh contains toxins and cannot be eaten again.
The venom of torreya pulp can be absorbed by the surface skin of animals, blocking the nerve conduction of animals and taking effect very quickly. The blocking time varies according to the concentration of venom.
To put it bluntly, it is the evolved Chinese torreya pulp, which has the effect of topical anesthetics and is also one of the sources of post-natural medical topical anesthetics.
It is said that the lower the content of the elemental content of the torreya tree, the higher the concentration of the venom, and the stronger the anesthetic effect. The red squirrel dared not pick it by itself, which means that the venom concentration of this tree is not low and it is very likely that it is an edible plant.
But after walking down two meters, when he saw the torreya tree through the dense shrubs around him, Xia Qing cut off a snake that was coming with a knife and stopped again.
Because she heard at least two eagles and more than thirty crows landing not far from her. After closer inspection, Xia Qing could see a few little squirrels hiding in leaves or bushes. Even in the small holes on the hillside, you can see the small heads of rats or snakes.
All the animals are waiting quietly, what are you waiting for?
Of course, I''m waiting for her.
Damn, before she started to act, a clear predation chain had been formed: when she touched the torreya fruit and rolled down to the bottom of the valley, the snake, rat and the little squirrel would pounce over and take advantage; when the little animals were riot, the eagle and the crow would rush down to compete for the hedgehog, rat and the little squirrel. The two eagles had very sharp beaks and claws, and they stared at them with murderous intent. This shows that they not only eat mice and snakes, but also Xia Qing is their target.
The crow squatting next to the eagle will peck out the minced meat on Xia Qing''s body after the eagle finishes its meal. Then within a few hours, Xia Qing had only one skeleton left.
Maybe there is no skeleton left, because some rodent evolutionary animals can even chew bones.
In other words, in the eyes of these animals, she, human Xia Qing, is a feast for this feast. (End of this chapter)
