On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 543 Evolution of the Leopard

The people who were working immediately stopped digging and collecting and gathered together. The defenders of this mission team, Xia Qing, Yue Haiying and Hu Ningsheng, held guns and faced outward to protect everyone's safety.

Shi Du and Yu Shou, who were carrying guns, also took them off and held them in their hands.

Yuan Yan reached out and pulled Zhao Ze and Zhu Li to the safest place now.

Being pulled behind Xia Qing, Zhao Ze felt his heartbeat stabilize, his breathing became smoother, and his ears were no longer buzzing. Zhu Li's reaction was similar to Zhao Ze's. In fact, she just wanted to grab the best position behind Xia Qing. This was the instinct to seek self-protection in dangerous moments, which was honed by the ten years of natural disasters.

The reason why she didn't grab it was because she was in the same alliance with these people. They were not in competition but in a cooperative relationship. If she fought for the safest position and made others unhappy, she would be kicked out of the gathering team. Her husband was injured, and most of the winter crops planted in the territory were destroyed in the snow. She couldn't lose this rare opportunity to earn points.

"At ten o'clock, there is a leopard lying behind the bushes fifty meters away. Judging from its size, it is an evolved species." Xia Qing said calmly and decisively, "It has no intention of attacking us. Everyone, please do not make any provocative moves."

"Got it." Yue Haiying and Hu Ningsheng responded calmly.

"I understand." Zhao Ze also responded in a low voice. His voice was shaking, and his body was shaking too.

The clouded leopard is a large predatory beast in the evolutionary forest. According to relevant regulations, when encountering large beasts in the evolutionary forest, humans cannot be the first to initiate provocation.

Xia Qing stared at the leopard crawling behind the bushes, and the leopard's eyes were also fixed on her. Obviously, the leopard judged that the strongest fighter in this team was Xia Qing.

The leopard and the human were in a stalemate, neither attacking nor retreating. Qi Fu and his wife, Shi's mother, Zhao Ze, and Zhu Li, who had never experienced such a scene, dared not breathe, fearing that if they moved, the beast would regard it as a provocation.

Snap, snap, snap——

hum...

There are many animals that can make this kind of sound when walking, but as far as Xia Qing knows, there is only one large animal that can hum.

When the sound got closer, the auditory evolver Hu Ningsheng reported the latest situation, "Two wild boars have entered the valley and are approaching."

Yue Haiying whispered, "The leopard is waiting to hunt the wild boar, and it can only catch one."

Wild boars are very vengeful animals. If one wild boar is captured, another wild boar may howl or run back to bring its entire family to seek revenge. If a leopard successfully hunts and escapes, the wild boars will vent their anger on humans.

A group of wild boars cannot beat a leopard, but the few humans digging kudzu roots here are no match for a group of wild boars.

Xia Qing understood what Yue Haiying meant, "I will kill the other wild boar."

The two wild boars grunted and approached the kudzu area from the other side. The moment the leopard staring at Xia Qing turned away, they attacked.

The leopard's explosive power was amazing. The little wild boar didn't even have time to howl before the leopard bit its neck and dragged it away.

The other half-grown wild boar was frightened and opened its mouth to howl, but Xia Qing fed it a bullet, which blew its head off.

Qi Fu and others' eyes lit up when they saw Xia Qing shoot large prey at close range for the first time.

After a while, three large vultures came and circled over the area.

"The leopard has left." Hu Ningsheng reported the situation.

Xia Qing gave an order, "Shi Du, go collect the wild boars. The team continues to collect, speed up, finish the collection within four hours, and withdraw from the valley." When Shi Du went to collect the wild boars, everyone speeded up their actions, those who were cutting vines continued to cut vines, and those who were digging roots continued to dig roots.

The trembling machete in Zhu Li's hand failed to cut the kudzu vines, and tears fell down her face.

Knowing that the Evolution Forest is terrifying is completely different from seeing the beasts hunting up close.

The moment the leopard looked over, Zhu Li's blood froze. If it weren't for the protection of the Evolver, it wouldn't have been the wild boar that died, but her.

Because she is weaker than the wild boar.

Zhu Li sniffed, cut off the bulge of the kudzu vine, put it in the bag, and looked for the next bulge while crying. She had to speed up. The more bulges she cut, the more worms the team would have. The more the team harvested, the more supplies she would get after the mission.

She is definitely not as good as the power evolvers, but she is definitely not much worse than Zhao Ze, who is also an ordinary person.

Yu Shou asked for help, "Xia Qing, this green lantern kudzu vine is Pueraria lobata, but its roots are pressed down by a big rock. I need you to pry the rock out."

The rhizome of Pueraria lobata is white in color and powdery in texture. Its taste and powder yield are much higher than those of the rough-fibered Pueraria lobata. Therefore, the roots of Pueraria lobata must be dug out and taken home.

Xia Qing replied, "Got it, Brother Cheng, come over and take over my defensive position."

Leader No. 15, Cheng Ping, is a level 3 endurance evolver. Although his left arm is not flexible, his marksmanship is still good.

Yue Haiying, Yu Shou, Hu Ningsheng and Cheng Ping are the four most powerful evolvers with intact legs in Territory No. 15. Because this mission is risky, all four of them came.

After Cheng Ping arrived, Xia Qing rushed to Qi Fu and found that the stone covered with moss, which was pressing down the roots of the kudzu vines, must weigh more than three thousand pounds just from the exposed part.

Although Xia Qing's abilities had not yet fully recovered, after she joined in, the four power evolvers worked together and used a crowbar to lift the boulder.

After opening it, Qi Fu's surprise turned into disappointment, because the root of the kudzu tree had been eaten almost by rats.

This is a common situation when collecting rhizomes in the Evolutionary Forest. Xia Qing and Shi Du are already used to it. Shi Du asked Xia Qing, "Can we dig up this kudzu root and plant it in our territory?"

This is Mountain No. 50. Xia Qing is the manager of Mountain No. 50. It is up to Xia Qing to decide whether someone can be poached or not.

Xia Qing nodded, "Okay, leave some roots and let it continue to grow."

"Understood!" Shi Du took action immediately.

After working for two hours, the team rested for twenty minutes and continued digging.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the team members packed up the harvested supplies and started to return. Except for Xia Qing and Yue Haiying, who had the highest combat power, the five strength evolvers carried the supplies at full load, and the rest of the people also carried 100 to 200 kilograms of supplies.

Today, everyone did not return to Territory No. 5, but entered Territory No. 15, which was closer to the exit of the mountain. Except for Xia Qing and Yue Haiying, everyone else lay down tired, but everyone had a happy face because this collection was very fruitful.

Tan Qi, who was working in the greenhouse, also ran over to help peel the kudzu worm pupae and clean the soil off the kudzu roots.

This collection mission yielded a total of 800 kilograms of yellow lantern kudzu root, 700 kilograms of green lantern kudzu root, 760 yellow lantern kudzu insect pupae, 330 green lantern kudzu insect pupae and a 150-kilogram yellow lantern wild boar.

This is already a huge gain for a collection team whose average combat power and weapons and equipment are not sophisticated enough.
