Moss and vines climbed the rugged rocks on three sides of the valley. Several light blades passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the trees in the highlands of the Evolution Forest, lit up the water vapor of the waterfall and the three snakes in the pool.
After entering the pool, two green and one red and three slender snakes no longer pretend to be grass poles, and flexibly swim and linger in the pool water.
There is strangeness and evil nature everywhere here.
Yang Jin quickly investigated around, confirmed that there was no high risk, and then walked towards Xia Qing and formed a defensive formation with her. "What are you finding?"
Although no powerful beasts or aggressive evolutionary plants were found, Yang Jin was still very vigilant. Because he is not the only one here, but also Xia Qing, who has never penetrated into the evolution forest.
Xia Qing pointed his hand at the bottomless small pond, "There are at least a dozen snakes underneath."
Yang Jin''s visual evolution level is not as high as Xia Qing. After Xia Qing pointed out the position, he discovered the entangled red and green snake hidden in the gap between the stone wall two or three meters under the water.
Snake killing has always been considered a rare and high-risk species. This is also why after discovering the snake killing, Zhang San will start the disaster prevention procedure, and Yang Jin and Luo Pei also rushed over from the safe area immediately.
But what I saw today has subverted Yang Jin''s perception. Humans'' understanding of organisms in evolutionary forests is still too simple.
Yang Jin took off his backpack and said, "I''ll check the situation under the water first, you are responsible for guarding."
"Okay, be careful." Xia Qing has used magnetic sensing to detect. Although there are several aggressive evolutionary plants around, the danger level is not high. As long as you don''t touch it, the danger will not be triggered.
But there must be something extraordinary around this pool, or to quote Li Si''s famous saying, "The result of the combined effect of multiple factors" can lead the snake killing twenty or thirty miles away.
Since there is nothing special about the plants on the water surface, the key factors among these "multiple factors" may be hidden in the deep pool that Xia Qing''s reconnaissance ability cannot reach.
It’s time to use instruments and equipment.
Yang Jin took out a small underwater detector the size of a fist, put it down against the edge of the pond, and began to investigate the situation under the water.
“Buzz—Buzz—”
Xia Qing, who was performing a guard mission, felt the phone in her pocket vibrating and directly ordered, "Silly hat, answer the call."
Yang Jin, who was standing next to her, directing the underwater detector, heard the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
After the phone was connected, before Xia Qing could ask, Zhang San spoke, "Xia Qing, the python in the lake in the northern part of Mountain No. 60 began to release a breath containing strong chemical signals to the outside, which should be marking the territory and attracting spouses. Where did the snake you followed swim?"
As soon as he heard Zhang San''s words, Xia Qing knew something was wrong and immediately said to Yang Jin beside him, "There are pythons in the pond, hurry up..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw that the surveillance screen of the detection instrument Yang Jin was holding had already been black.
Yang Jin pressed the remote control a few more times, "Tell my third brother that there are large creatures in this small pool, and swallowed the small detector I put down."
After Xia Qing reported the location and situation here, Zhang San analyzed, "There may be a python underwater. You should first mark the location of the pool, and then install a surveillance camera nearby. Yang Jin, can you two beat the things in the water?"
Yang Jin replied confidently, "I may not be able to beat it if I jumped into the water, but they dared to emerge from the water and were definitely not my opponents."
The combination of top speed evolver and top sniper is really reassuring. Zhang San ordered, "Very good. If it does not attack, you should stay by the pool and capture all the snakes that swim past, until there is no snake to retreat. If it attacks, it can take it back together, and retreat immediately if it cannot defeat it."
"Received." Xia Qing asked with concern after receiving the order, "Third brother, there was no fight on the other side of No. 60 Mountain, right?"
The little boys of the wolf pack are probably not yet full moon.
Zhang San sent domesticated birds from Territory No. 8, of course he knew the situation on Mount No. 60. "The leader of the wolves and bears were watching the movements of the pythons in the lake, and he has not started fighting yet."
Xia Qing hung up the phone and discussed with Yang Jin first, "Captain Yang, please stare first, will I make a net bag to catch snakes?"
After Yang Jin nodded, Xia Qing took out the steel wire and used a thin fishing net from her backpack. She quickly made a small net bag. Then she looked around and chose a suitable small tree, which was useless even for a knife. She walked over and held the trunk with her hand and folded it. The small tree thicker than her arm broke with a "click".
Xia Qing used a knife to cut off the bark and branches, and made the trunk into a wooden stick for catching snake nets, and held it in his hand and tried it.
Very good, very handy.
After the production, I found that Yang Jin was looking at her. Xia Qing explained, "I came out on a single-soldier aircraft this time and didn''t carry a retractable steel pipe. This kind of material is too heavy. The ability to kill snakes is not strong, and this kind of snake-catching net should be enough for this wooden stick."
Yang Jin is not questioning the quality of the snake net, but marveling at Xia Qing''s strength and proficiency in the production tools. "Enough, if it is broken, you can make another one, which is low."
Speaking of cost, Xia Qing thought of the underwater detector that had just been swallowed, "The detector you put in the water just now is not cheap, right?"
Yang Jin smiled, "It''s not cheap, but it''s the spoils seized from Su Feng. This detector is very strong, just wait until the underwater creature is caught and taken out."
Xia Qing caught a fiery red snake that swam against the current to the small pool, but it was not as optimistic as Yang Jin. "If the python in the water defeated the northern wolf pack in July last year, it might not be able to get it back."
On July 18 last year, the wolves, snakes and bears started fighting on Mount 55. Then, in the early morning of July 19, the head wolf, with the injured broken waist and broken legs, ventured into Xia Qing''s territory for help.
After Yang Jin put the snake killer in his net pocket into the bag, Xia Qing asked, "Captain Yang, I forgot to ask later, what you found out at that time is the situation you found, wolves, snakes, and bears, who is with whom?"
Yang Jin replied, "According to the video found, the time in Mount No. 55, wolves and snakes, wolves and bears, bears and snakes were fighting, and it was impossible to tell who was allied with whom."
Then on the night of October 21, the revenge battle of Mount Sixty on the night of October 21, the Broken Waist took Xia Qing to treat the head wolf. According to her observation, the snake and the bear should be in the same group.
The battle between animals must be related to food and territory, and a bold speculation gradually took shape in Xia Qing''s mind.
While investigating the killing of snakes, she asked, "In mid-May last year, after the head wolf entered the wild boar breeding center for the first time, you chased it, and it seemed that you also ran to Mount 55. You didn''t chase it again, right?"
Yang Jin understood what Xia Qing thought of and nodded, "Yes. Not only that time, half a month later, when I brought all my equipment and led the team north to explore the evolution forest, I had just entered Mountain No. 55. Later, the broken waist wolf who went to your territory to treat injuries broke into the wild boar breeding center and hunted the wild boar again."
In early June last year, Xia Qing, who was hunting porcupines in the evolutionary forest, happened to meet the broken waist wolf who had hunted two wild boars and retreated.
At that time, Xia Qing knew that he was no match for the broken waist wolf, so he took the initiative to give way and let it go. But she didn''t know that Yang Jin went to Mount No. 55 again at that time, "Why did you lead the team to Mount No. 55 that time, do you want to find any supplies?" (End of this chapter)
