Chapter 656: Tracking the Snake
After walking along the cracks in the mountain from west to east and from top to bottom, Xia Qing did not find any more snakes.

She entered the hidden valley from the southeast mountain stream entrance and patrolled the valley with Li Kai. After confirming that it was safe, she walked to the tent and asked in a low voice, "Is Da Zi okay?"

When Xia Qing came in, Da Zi was sleeping in the tent, and now he is still sleeping, which is very abnormal.

Li Kai whispered, "He couldn't stand the pain this morning, so he took two painkillers and fell asleep."

Xia Qing took out the supplies and potions she had brought from her backpack and handed them to Li Kai. "Does he do this often?"

Li Kai shook his head. "This is the first time I've seen him in so much pain. It's even worse than during the rainy season."

The snake suddenly appeared this morning, and Da Zi, who was poisoned by the snake, was in great pain. Is there any connection between them?
Xia Qing told Li Kai not to leave the valley, and then left the valley with the three snakes that Li Kai had caught in the hidden valley, and continued to search other areas.

It was not until two hours later that Xia Qing discovered the sixth fiery red snake on Hill No. 50 in a small stream flowing down from the top of the mountain.

There are many reddish shrubs and weeds in this mountain area. If Xia Qing did not have the evolved ability of magnetic perception, he would probably have mistaken the small snake drifting in the water for a grass stalk that fell into the water.

Disguise, perfect!
Xia Qing immediately took out her cell phone, recorded a few seconds of video and sent it to her idol, asking what to do with the little snake.

Zhang San gave the order: Follow it and see where it goes, and be careful to hide. The other five snakes were handed over to the Qinglong guards and sent back to Territory No. 7.

Xia Qing's magnetic sensing distance for this red snake is five meters, so he can keep tracking it at a distance without losing it. However, "Third brother, what if the snake is attacked or preyed on?"

Zhang San replied, "Then catch the predator. If it is not accidentally eaten, then a predator that can eat the snake without being poisoned has extremely high research value."

"Understood." Xia Qing put down her phone, kicked away the two evolved rats that pounced on her legs and bit her, and contacted the Qinglong team members who were watching the other two snake-killing members to come and get the snakes.

Xia Qing found the snake-killing stream on the southeast side of the third peak of the 50th Mountain. It was not affected by the poison gas bombs, and the vegetation was dense, there were many wild animals, and it was full of dangers. Even if Xia Qing, a well-equipped four-element evolver, acted alone here, he had to be extremely cautious.

When he discovered that after the stream flowed into the valley, it did not flow south towards the human territory, but instead flowed north towards the deeper and denser evolutionary forest, Xia Qing was prepared for an emergency that he could not handle. He immediately took out the individual flying device from his backpack, stepped on it and prepared to fly away.

A dead snake in a stream? Shoot it to death.

Relying on his keen hearing, vision and magnetic sense, Xia Qing avoided dangers one after another, chasing the snake in the stream, winding through the fourth peak of Mountain No. 50 and entering Mountain No. 53.

The water flow here was relatively gentle, so Xia Qing stopped and took a sip of premium nutrient solution.

The special nutrient solution made from the spinach she grew had long been used up, and the nutrient solution she was taking now was bought on credit from Yang Jin.

Although the nutrient solution bought on credit was of better quality and slightly cheaper than the one bought from outside, Xia Qing felt that the taste of this nutrient solution was far worse than that she squeezed herself when she thought about the spinach seeds that Yang Jin had exchanged with her.

When the stream became wide and fast, the snake still floated forward along the stream like a straw. Xia Qing decided to apply to catch the snake and retreat.

Although she was a four-element evolver, she had no experience in operating alone in the depths of the evolutionary forest, so she backed down.

"You continue to follow." Commander Zhang San gave an order, "Follow the direction of the stream, you will be able to meet up with Yang Jin in an hour. You must obey Yang Jin's orders. He knows when to retreat."

"Got it." Xia Qing hung up the phone, chopped off a half-meter-long chameleon that pounced on her, added some insect repellent to her body, and continued to move forward.

Although she was wearing a special protective suit and insects could not hurt her at all, it was very dangerous to be surrounded by a large number of insects. Because it would not only block her vision and interfere with her hearing, but also attract the attention of birds of prey in the sky. "Brother San, I can complete this task alone. Let Xia Qing fly the single-soldier aircraft back to the territory and perform other tasks?" Yang Jin, who was on the other side of the mountain, suggested to the disaster relief commander Zhang San.

Zhang San rejected the suggestion directly. "Xia Qing is the main executor of the observation mission. You are responsible for assisting her and protecting her safety. In case of an emergency, retreat immediately."

Xia Qing, who possesses magnetic perception, advanced vision and hearing abilities, and has gained the trust of the wolf pack, is the best executor chosen by the commander.

"Got it." Yang Jin took the order and continued forward.

More than an hour later, Xia Qing and Yang Jin met at the confluence of two streams, feeling much more at ease.

Seeing Xia Qing, who was covered in dirt, walking towards him, Yang Jin immediately asked, "Were you attacked? Are you injured?"

"I'm not injured. I just ran into two evolved man-eating crocodiles and got covered in mud. You keep an eye on the snake-killing crocodiles while I clean them up." Xia Qing quickly washed off the mud on his protective suit with clean stream water and chased after them to cover their retreat.

With Yang Jin leading the way, Xia Qing walked much more easily. After the outer surface of her protective suit had dried a little, she took out the remaining half bottle of insect repellent and sprayed it on herself.

After she finished spraying the front of her body, Yang Jin turned sideways and said, "Go to the front, I'll spray your back."

"Thank you. I'll spray it all." Xia Qing handed the medicine to Yang Jin and walked in front, staring at the three snakes, two green and one red, in the water.

After Yang Jin finished spraying Xia Qing with the medicine, he put the empty bottle directly into the side pocket of his backpack. "I'll lead the way. Third Brother said that you are the main executor of this mission. My mission is to protect your safety."

Since it was the Third Brother's order, Xia Qing didn't hesitate to follow Yang Jin to catch her breath. Although she had taken the special nutrient solution, her nerves had been tense for the past few hours, and she was a little tired mentally.

Half an hour later, the three little snakes moved in unison upstream, heading toward the valley to the west. Xia Qing asked, "Captain Yang, is this Hill No. 55?"

Yang Jin nodded, "It seems they are almost reaching their destination."

After walking a distance, Xia Qing felt that the seemingly harmless tree in front of her was actually a very powerful evolution-killing plant, and its attack method was unknown. When she was about to remind Yang Jin, Yang Jin stopped and said, "There is danger ahead. Let's go to the other side of the stream and follow me."

"Okay." After Yang Jin jumped to the other side of the stream, Xia Qing followed him. She suspected that Yang Jin was also a magnetic evolutionist, so he could sense the existence of the evolutionary plants.

However, she didn't ask anything, and after taking a break, she suggested, "Captain Yang, I'll lead the way."

She didn't discuss it with Yang Jin, but directly asked him to retreat. No matter how many people formed a team, as long as they were the main players, they had to take turns to lead the way according to the rules.

Xia Qing is now the main force, not an ordinary evolver who is responsible for carrying bags and other things and needs to be protected.

"Okay." Yang Jin moved sideways, letting Xia Qing fight his way forward.

The three little snakes were swimming upstream much slower than they were swimming downstream, so the two people were not moving very fast either.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, three small snakes swam into a small pool of about 60 to 70 square meters, which was formed by the impact of a tall waterfall.

As soon as Xia Qing got close to the pond, he felt something was wrong. There were at least twenty snakes nearby!
