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

This is one of the exits of the weasel's home. It was the place where the plucked weasel ran to Territory No. 3 in early February this year, bringing Xia Qing and the second child to pick up the little white-haired boy who was having a difficult birth.

"Is the plucker, Little White Hair, here?"

"Is the plucker, Little White Hair, here?"

"..."

Xia Qing muttered like Tang Monk for more than two minutes before a rustling sound came from the cave. A white round head with a black beard popped out and looked at Xia Qing with a pair of black eyes.

"Little White Hair, long time no see. It's great to have you at home." Xia Qing's face was filled with smiles as she gave Little White Hair a few pieces of freeze-dried food. "This is an improved version of freeze-dried food. It tastes better than before and has a better freshness-locking effect. Try it and see if you like it."

The little white-haired boy's beard trembled, and he came out to eat a few freeze-dried grains that Xia Qing brought over, then looked up at her, as if asking Xia Qing what was the matter.

Xia Qing was really busy. She took out a herb drawing and showed it to Little White Hair. "Have you seen this kind of herb before? Can you pick it?"

The little white-haired boy sniffed the printed paper, found out it was not food, and looked at Xia Qing again.

Don’t recognize the blueprint? Easy!
Xia Qing took out his phone and opened the video of the herbal medicine. After playing it several times, he gestured and explained, "I want this herb. You can exchange it for this freeze-dried herb."

The little white-haired animal seemed to understand, turned around and went back into the hole. After a while, he took out a dirty piece of freeze-dried food and placed it in front of Xia Qing.

Needless to say, this freeze-dried food was given to them by Xia Qing before, and they put it back in the cave and stored it. What does it mean that the little white hair took it out? Does it mean that it doesn't need freeze-dried food, so there is no need to exchange it?
After staring at the little brain-evolved weasel for a while, Xia Qing began to take out other supplies for exchange, "Do you want some barbecued meat?"

“What about the bamboo shoots?”

"Dried pumpkin?"

"What about the barbecue?"

"..."

"Gold chain, do you like it? Look at the shiny gold chain that the Queen and Broken Waist love the most."

"Do you want a small mirror?"

"..."

After confirming that the supplies she brought could not attract Little White Hair, Xia Qing sighed. This was a wolf with no needs and could not be listed as a trading target.

"Okay, little white hair, I'm leaving. If you need anything, come find me in Territory No. 3. Territory No. 3 is over there." Xia Qing gestured for a while and was about to leave with his backpack when he heard a voice coming from not far away.

Turning around, Xia Qing saw the plucked weasel coming back with its prey, followed by two light brown weasel cubs also holding prey. The plucked weasel was holding a big rat, and the two cubs were holding small rats.

Seeing the two little guys' fur standing up in fear, Xia Qing was afraid that they would release poison gas, so he quickly stepped back to show that he had no intention of attacking, and greeted them softly, "Plucker, are you teaching the cubs to hunt? Your cubs are very strong, they can catch prey at only three months old."

Hearing Xia Qing's voice, the two little weasels, whose fur had stood on end, relaxed a little. They had lived in the sheep shed in Territory No. 3 for a month and were very familiar with Xia Qing's voice.

The plucked weasel came over tremblingly with the big rat in its mouth. It first sniffed the little white-haired dog, then sniffed the dried meat, freeze-dried meat and bamboo shoots on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, it actually brought the rat to Xia Qing, and then ate the food Xia Qing placed at the entrance of the cave.

Xia Qing... I'm not exchanging food for your prey...

After watching the plucked weasel finish eating, Xia Qing also picked up the mouse and stuffed it into the packaging bag. This was what she exchanged for barbecue and freeze-dried meat, so she couldn't waste it. She took it back to feed the snake!

"Thank you for the prey, Plucker. You are a very particular wolf. Thank you for helping me guard the valley. If you have any questions, you can find me in Territory No. 3."

A small bag of freeze-dried food, a small bag of dried bamboo shoots and a small piece of barbecued meat were only exchanged for a dead rat. The transaction seemed to have failed at first glance, but Xia Qing still did not give up.

She nailed the picture of the herb she brought to the big tree in front of the weasel's house, and then said to the empty hole, "Plucker, Little White Hair, if you see this herb when you go out hunting, remember to dig it back for me. I really need it."

This is the herb that her idol sent her yesterday, asking her to ask the wolf pack to find it as soon as possible. The price of each plant is 2 points. I don't know when I can find it. Xia Qing decided to contact the Broken Waist Wolf who has a very good taste in life when she arrived at the nd Mountain.

After going down the mountain and joining Xin Yu, the two walked to Hill No. 52. In order to improve his combat effectiveness, Xin Yu did not bring his trained bird today.

The Evolution Forest is very dangerous after the heavy rain. Unless a team has received a mission that must be carried out during this period, most teams will not enter the mountain now.

But to the bamboo shoot digging team composed of Xin Yu, who has the ability to sense changes in animal magnetic fields, and Xia Qing, who has the ability to sense changes in plant magnetic fields, the ground here is just a little wetter than usual, and the grass and trees are a little more lush.

The danger is within your perception.

The path opened up by the alliance members' team to dig bamboo shoots two months ago has been swallowed up by the growing shrubs, vines and weeds, and the road leading to the bamboo forest needs to be reopened.

The two of them took turns using the black knife to clear the way, one in front and one behind. Two hours later, when they were only 50 meters away from the bamboo forest, Xin Yu, who was clearing the way, stopped and warned in a low voice, "There are two evolved animals in the bamboo forest ahead. One is behind the large diamond-shaped rock beside the bamboo forest. They have discovered us and released strong malice. Judging from the magnetic field, they are high-level evolvers."

Xia Qing stared at the stone for a while and found the other party. "It's a red fox. They should be here with their cubs to catch bamboo rats. The reason they released malicious intent to us must be that they thought we were here to catch little foxes."

Foxes are not very big, and they don't move in groups like wolves do. They usually run away when they see humans. The fact that these two foxes didn't run away means that their cubs are here, and they can't escape quickly, so they can only fight.

Xin Yu asked, "The red fox is also on the list of animals that cannot be provoked, right? What should we do now? Retreat?"

Although foxes are not strictly large aggressive beasts, they are also included in the list of animals that are prohibited from provoking by the country. There is a reason why each non-large aggressive beast is included in the list.

The red fox was included because in the fourth year of the natural disaster, a small base in Baicheng with more than 500 people hunted foxes in large numbers for animal fur, which resulted in two red foxes with evolved brains, together with an evolved tiger, launching a beast tide during a blizzard, causing more than half of the people in the base to be killed or injured.

"Let's retreat first. After they leave, we'll go in and look for bamboo shoots." Xia Qing held a black knife in his hand and retreated more than a hundred meters with Xin Yu back to back.

After the two retreated more than a hundred meters, Xin Yu could no longer use his magnetic sense to capture the magnetic field of the evolved red fox. The two climbed onto a large rock and rested there for more than ten minutes. Xin Yu asked, "Shall we go over and take a look?"

In fact, Xia Qing had already used her hearing to find out that the foxes in the bamboo forest had not retreated, but she did not tell Xin Yu that she had the ability to hear, so she moved forward again with her.

After walking a distance and finding that the foxes were still there, Xin Yu wondered, "Could they regard this place as their core territory?"

Xia Qing shook her head. “Although there are bamboo rats and snakes here, it’s too close to Hill 49. Logically, foxes won’t raise their cubs here.”

"What should we do now?" (End of this chapter)
