“No polluted water source.”

Seeing Xia Qing's look of "as expected", Yang Jin couldn't help but laugh.

Although half of his face was covered by a protective mask, his eyes and smile were still very eye-catching.

"The leader wolf knew that there was unpolluted spring water on Hill 49, but he only released a group of wild boars and a sheep there. I guessed that there must be a good quality drinking water source within the core territory of the wolf pack. I guessed that this core territory was Hill 55."

Yang Jin paid close attention to the movements at the bottom of the pond and explained to Xia Qing in detail what happened last year. "The wolves discovered my intention and used the action of hunting two wild boars to show their attitude: if humans enter Hill No. 55, they will invade human territory and even kill humans, so I had to give up."

It turns out that the Broken-Waisted Wolf entered the wild boar breeding center and hunted two large wild boars for this reason. This makes sense!

Xia Qing asked, "After the wolves were defeated, you didn't lead the team to investigate again?"

Yang Jin shook his head. "After the northern wolf pack was defeated, they went to your territory and established friendly relations with you. You and I are also allies, so I suspended the exploration mission. Later, Luo Ge's poison began to recur, and I focused all my energy on finding an antidote. I accidentally discovered unpolluted spring water in Lancheng, and your relationship with the wolf pack was getting better and better, so I didn't restart the mission."

"It turns out that my choice was right. During the last beast tide, the northern wolf pack came forward to protect our territory because of you."

Holding a snake net and staring at the stream, Xia Qing proposed a possibility, "I found a broken Yi stone in the pool in the hidden valley of Mount 50. This shows that the Evolved Bears have mastered the method of using Yi stones to purify water. There are also brain evolvers among the Evolved Wolves, and they should have mastered this skill, so there may not be unpolluted spring water here."

Yang Jin looked at Xia Qing with eyes that could speak. "Do you think there are stones here? That's why it has become a territory that wolves, bears, and snakes are fighting over?"

Looking at this expression, does the stingy guy want to cooperate with me and dig into my handsome wolf brother’s Yishi mine?

no, no, no.

If there really is Yi Stone here, the share I would get from cooperating with the miser to mine it would definitely not be as profitable as exchanging my supplies with the wolf pack for Yi Stone.

Xia Qing picked up a green snake swimming upstream and answered seriously, "Maybe. But mining is very risky. This place should have been one of the wolves' permanent residences before the war in July last year. Because if the wolves had all lived on Hill No. 60 before, the Alpha Wolf and the Broken Waist Wolf would definitely not raise wild boars on Hill No. 49."

The straight-line distance from No. 49 to No. 60 is 60 miles, and the winding mountain road makes the distance even longer. The two smart brain-evolved wolves raised wild boars on No. 49 Mountain, which means that their previous residence was not far from No. 49 Mountain.

Hill No. 55 is just right. With the speed of the wolf pack, it would only take a few minutes to run from here to Hill No. 49.

Yang Jin confirmed that Xia Qing's judgment was correct, "Teacher Tan said that this mountain used to be the territory of wolves."

Tan Junjie was previously stationed in the old regiment headquarters in the flat valley on the west side of Mount 49 and had a relatively good understanding of the distribution of evolved forest organisms in the vicinity.

Xia Qing stared at the stream and continued to speculate, "The wolves left the mountain after being defeated and have not yet taken it back, which proves that there must be an existence here that they are afraid of. And with the current strength of the wolves, they are unable to defeat this existence."

Xia Qing took a deep breath. "Based on my understanding of the wolves, they definitely haven't given up on this mountain. There must be a wolf watching nearby right now. So, if you want to prospect for minerals here, you have to defeat the wolves after you have dealt with the existence that the wolves are afraid of. If you don't believe me..."

coming!

Xia Qing, who relied on his magnetic sense to sense the approach of a snake, stopped, turned his head to look at the waterfall, and his eyes widened instantly.

Damn, there is actually a killer snake jumping down from the waterfall!

Before Xia Qing could open her mouth, Yang Jin had already rushed over and grabbed the fiery red snake, then stepped on the stone wall to gain leverage and jumped back, landing steadily beside Xia Qing. This speed...

Xia Qing, who was not a speed evolver, was too lazy to say "envy". She asked directly, "Captain Yang, have you evolved the ability of magnetic perception?"

Yang Jin put the snake into the bag, neither admitting nor denying, "People who have led teams to carry out missions in the Evolution Forest for a long time and survived to this day all have a certain ability to perceive danger, and can make arrangements in advance based on this perception to avoid risks. I'm not sure if this is magnetic perception, because I haven't tested it."

"Even if it is, my perception level should be considered ordinary, and I can't be considered a magnetic perception evolver. For example, I can't sense creatures like the killer snake, which has a high danger level but low combat power."

After explaining his situation in detail, Yang Jin asked Xia Qing, "It was because you suddenly looked up just now that I saw the killer snake. At what distance can you sense the existence of the killer snake?"

He did not ask whether Xia Qing had evolved the ability of magnetic perception, but directly asked about her level of magnetic perception.

The question was asked so clearly, it would be too fake for Xia Qing to deny it again. "I have never come into contact with a live snake before. I only confirmed that I have this ability this morning on Hill 49. The sensing range is only five meters."

"Five meters is already very impressive. No wonder Third Brother insisted on letting you carry out this mission."

The stream formed by the overflow of the pool is three meters away from the waterfall, so a five-meter detection range is sufficient. Yang Jin discussed with Xia Qing, "From now on, you use magnetic sense to detect snakes, and I will catch them? This is a good opportunity to practice your new ability."

"Thank you, Captain Yang." Xia Qing no longer pretended that he caught the snake with his eyes, and began to focus on using his magnetic sense to detect the presence of the snake.

After the two worked together to capture three killer snakes, the sky gradually darkened and it became more difficult to capture killer snakes.

Xia Qing quickly took out the fishing net from her backpack, made two large net bags, and worked with Yang Jin to block the stream and the waterfall. Even if there were more snakes, they would fall into the fishing net and would not be able to enter the small pond.

Seeing Yang Jin giving her a thumbs up, Xia Qing stated the facts calmly, "When I was on a mission with a team before, I was a non-staff logistics staff responsible for doing these miscellaneous tasks."

Yang Jin opened his mouth but swallowed back what he wanted to say. Now that he didn't have to keep an eye on him all the time, it was time to find a place to rest.

The two came to the top of the waterfall, found a tall and clean rock, and set up the tent on the rock. This position can not only see the waterfall, but also monitor the pool and the stream flowing out, and can also be high above to guard against sneak attacks by pythons. It is the best place to rest.

"Get your individual aircraft ready. If there is an emergency, fly toward the territory immediately. I will meet you at the landing point of your choice."

After deploying the retreat plan, Yang Jin asked Xia Qing to go into the tent to rest first while he went to patrol the surroundings.

Xia Qing hadn't eaten or gone to the bathroom all day, so she really needed to go into the tent to rest. Not only that, she also had to contact the sheep boss to tell him that she couldn't go home tonight and coax him to look after the house.

Twenty minutes later, the two took turns and Yang Jin entered the tent to rest.

After a simple dinner, the two decided on the night shift arrangements for tonight.

Yang Jin, who was on the first shift, stood outside the tent, staring at the small pond below, paying attention to the movements around him, and asked, "Just now you said that if you were to explore for minerals here, what would happen if I didn't believe it?"

Xia Qing, who was resting on an inflatable mattress in the tent, answered, "I was thinking at the time that the wolves definitely hadn't given up on Hill 55, and there must be wolves watching nearby. If you don't believe me, I can call the wolves over for you to see." (End of this chapter)
