Suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard beneath the calm water surface. Ripples appeared on the water surface and the alert wolves immediately stared at the water surface.

"boom!"

"Wow!"

There was an explosion underwater, and the constantly shaking water surface suddenly gushed out a fountain several meters high. The corpses of the aquatic creatures that were killed in the explosion kept floating up. Then, there were sounds of mountain collapse from the bottom of the water. The ground under the wolves' feet began to tremble, and the surface of the pool shook violently. The water in the pool surged and splashed everywhere. The evolved wolves surrounding the pool quickly evacuated and stood in the distance, roaring anxiously.

The leader wolf and the broken-waisted wolf stood on the shore, staring nervously at the increasingly turbid water, not caring at all about their limbs being wet by the boiling and surging water.

"Awooo--" the leader wolf opened its mouth and urged Xia Qing to come up quickly.

Not seeing Xia Qing running out, Broken Waist Wolf turned around and ran to open the tent that was wet by the pool water, picked up the underwater robot, turned on the switch and was about to put the robot into the turbid pool when a black shadow quickly jumped out of the water and jumped onto the shore, took off the protective mask, and breathed in fresh air.

After catching her breath, Xia Qing introduced to her companions who were staring at her with wide eyes, "There is a giant crocodile hidden at the bottom of this pond that is more than seven meters long... as long as this stone... It is a brain evolver, and it attacked me."

The leader wolf bared its fangs toward the water and roared majestically. The wolves immediately gathered at the edge of the pool, ready for battle.

The Broken-Waisted Wolf looked at the big rock and then at Xia Qing.

"My Queen, I have blown up the big crocodile to death." Xia Qing shook off the water on her body, walked to the side of the broken waist wolf, put the underwater robot into the water, and slowly lowered it. The display screen was no longer as clear as before, and the water in the pond was turbid. "After I blew up the crocodile with a grenade, a huge rock on the wall of the pond that I had pried loosened and fell off, and a large amount of rocks collapsed and fell. I dodged the rocks and finally found the waterway to swim up."

Xia Qing was used to being cautious, and she always prepared for the worst-case scenario every time she went on a mission. So, even if she checked and thought there were no large aquatic creatures below and she was only going down to collect herbs and pry rocks, she still brought grenades and daggers.

Unfortunately, the rock wall collapsed too quickly, and she reached her limit and had to go ashore to breathe. She had no time to drag out the hundreds of pounds of meat that fell.

"The crocodile's hiding place had been pressed up by rocks and could not be found. When I swam upstream, I seemed to see a hole appearing by the pond. It seemed like there was a hole..."

When the underwater robot dived to about six meters, Xia Qing pressed the operation button to change the direction of movement, searching for the hole that appeared after the collapse in the turbidity.

The two wolves stared at the monitor for three minutes and finally found a hole more than half a meter high. Before Xia Qing could be happy, he saw a head sticking out of the hole!
"Holy crap! What is this? A giant evolved water rat?!"

After seeing the animal on the display clearly, the Broken Waist Wolf raised its head and let out a long howl. The aquatic creature that was about to get closer to observe the underwater robot heard the howl and swam upwards quickly.

As it moved, Xia Qing immediately denied his previous guess, "It's not a water rat. Its limbs are short, with webbed feet between its toes, and its tail is thicker than a water rat. This should be..."

"Wow!"

Xia Qing turned to look at the animal that had jumped out of the water. It had a short snout, long whiskers, big round eyes, and small round ears. She continued, "...Otter?"

After the otter came ashore, it shook its round body to shake off the water droplets, squatted on the ground and rubbed the thick and soft fur on its short neck with its two short front legs. After the otter came ashore, the wolves only took a few glances and then went about their business.

Xia Qing stared at the otter for a few seconds, then turned and asked, "My Queen, is this your companion?"

Seeing the wolf leader's calm face, Xia Qing knew that she had guessed right, "Her Majesty the Queen likes animals with big eyes, small ears and long beards." Although there is a big difference in weight and body length, this otter and the weasel belong to the same family of Mustelidae, and their facial features and body shape are quite similar.

Xia Qing no longer paid attention to the otter that would not attack her, and continued to operate the underwater robot to explore the situation at the bottom of the pool.

The good news is that after the stone wall of the pool collapsed, the funnel-shaped pool bottom and the underground river channel were completely blocked. Now the pool is only fifteen meters deep, which has achieved the purpose of filling the pool to prevent giant pythons. Xia Qingqiang does not have to come here to be Xia Jingwei for half a month after the rain.

The bad news was that the crocodile with its belly blown apart was completely crushed by the rock along with her black knife and crowbar. Xia Qing lost a handy weapon, a familiar tool and a piece of meat weighing several hundred pounds.

It was a great joy to come out on a mission and encounter an enemy attack, only losing weapons and tools, and no one was hurt. After Xia Qing asked the two parties to check the situation at the bottom of the pool, he collected the underwater robot and said, "Broken waist, give me the reward, I want to go back."

The Broken-Waisted Wolf didn't move, looking as if he was thinking about something.

What? She finished the work in just a short while, and now you want to deny your debt?
Xia Qing, who was almost crushed to death in the pond, laughed with gritted teeth, "Broken waist, come here, I want to talk to you!"

The broken-waisted wolf followed Xia Qing into the tent. The leader stretched his body and jumped onto a rock to bask in the sun.

Half an hour later, when Xia Qing changed into protective clothing and got out of the tent, she found that the wolves had dispersed and all the dead fish on the water had disappeared, leaving only a dozen well-fed otters. Their short limbs drooped, and they floated on the water with their bellies facing up, as if they were asleep.

When Xia Qing started packing up the tent, the otters all raised their heads and looked at her. Xia Qing immediately stopped her partner who was about to leave, "Broken waist, come and help me pack up the tent."

Packing up the tent was a small matter; the main purpose was to prevent the group of cute furry otters in the water from climbing up and attacking her.

Otters have three pairs of horizontal incisors in their mouths. The canine teeth are conical, and the outer edges of the carnassial teeth are as sharp as blades, giving them strong biting ability.

In addition to its strong biting ability, otters, which belong to the same family as mustelids like honey badgers and weasels, also have the characteristics of most animals in the mustelid family: a strong sense of revenge.

In the sixth year of the natural disaster, when an eight-member team of Hui San was on a hunting mission, two members of the team were dragged into the water by a group of otters and bitten to death. The video brought back by the surviving team members was extremely horrifying and bloody.

This was the first time Xia Qing encountered an otter in the Evolution Forest. She was unsure of the habits of this animal, so she had to use a wolf as a shield.

Of course, the Broken Waist Wolf had no objection and happily used its big paws to help Xia Qing pack up the tent. When packing up the supplies and leaving, Xia Qing said goodbye to the Broken Waist Wolf, "I'm leaving now. I'll come back after the rainy season."

This damn treacherous wolf asked Xia Qing to fill the pond until it was only six meters deep, which means to fill it near the hole where the otter drilled out, otherwise, it would not pay the Yi Stone.

The Broken Waist Wolf's reason was also valid: it asked Xia Qing to fill the pool to a depth that the bottom could be clearly seen with the wolf's eyes, that is, the same depth as the Python Pool. If it was filled to this extent, there would be no need to worry about giant pythons sneaking over and hiding at the bottom of the water.

Thinking from his perspective, Xia Qing admitted that Broken Waist Wolf was right. In order to get the Yi Stone, she could only wait until it rained before coming back to continue prying stones to fill the pond.

Although some mistakes happened today, not much time was wasted. When Xia Qing returned to the territory, it was almost noon and she was just in time to make lunch for the eldest and the fourth.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered Hill No. 49, she received a call for help from Guo Chongjun, the security chief of the Ninth Center. "Director, we encountered an ambush outside the Northern Third District. The car was blown up. One person died and three were injured. We have now protected two magnetic evolutionists and retreated to the ruins of a house three kilometers north of the Northern Third District. Request for support!" (End of this chapter)
