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

Chapter 661 Fishing for the Wild Bunch
Before six in the morning, Xia Qing was woken up by the biological clock of going to bed early and getting up early that she had developed from a year of farming.

After opening his eyes and listening quietly to the sounds of flowing water, birds singing and insects chirping for a few seconds, Xia Qing got up, tidied himself up, and ate breakfast before going out of the tent, allowing Yang Jin to go in and rest.

The Evolution Forest after the rain is full of dangers. You are not allowed to take off your protective mask or expose any part of your skin before entering the tent. Otherwise, you may be invaded by fungal spores and bacteria floating in the air, or be bitten by poisonous insects and die.

Not to mention drinking water and eating, even going to the toilet has to be done in the tent. This is one of the most inconvenient aspects when going out on a mission. So two days before Xia Qing and his team went out on a mission, they only ate compressed rations to reduce the number of times they had to go to the toilet during the mission.

A better way than eating compressed rations is to drink nutrient solution.

But one or two points can buy a piece of compressed rations made of grass as the main raw material, while the price of a bottle of ordinary nutrient solution is 200 to 400 points, and the price of special nutrient solution is as high as 2,000 points. So when going on a mission, Xia Qing would buy two bottles of ordinary nutrient solution just in case, but she would not bear to take it unless she encountered a dangerous situation or the nutrient solution was about to expire.

In order to maximize the use value of these two bottles of nutrient solution, Xia Qing will complete a few more tasks within the shelf life of the nutrient solution after purchasing it to earn more points.

In addition to eating, there is the issue of drinking water. Although the amount of activity in the Evolution Forest is very high and most of the water you drink is excreted from the body in the form of sweat, Xia Qing still reduces the amount of water he drinks to reduce the number of times he goes to the toilet.

After Yang Jin came out, he showed Xia Qing the route map and data on the tracking ring display. "It took the python and the scorpion five hours and sixteen minutes to travel 37345 meters and stop at the northern area 16720 meters away from here."

Then, Yang Jin showed Xia Qing a paper map on which he had marked the python's route and where it would go. The python, which had set out from Hill 55 with the snake killer, had indeed reached the lake north of Hill 60.

The waterways where pythons swim are sometimes in rivers above the ground, and sometimes below the ground. The map shows that they are in forested areas, which makes sense. The green snake evolved from the bamboo leaf green snake. They breathe with lungs, and they have to surface to breathe a few times after a while, so pythons cannot stay in the water for a long time.

Grasping this point, if we want to eliminate snakes in the future, we just need to guard the river channel that the pythons must pass through to return to the northern lakes.

What we have to do today is to continue catching snakes and collecting underwater herbs.

Xia Qing explained the situation to Yang Jin, and then proposed to form a team to collect herbs. "Before the python comes back, let's team up and dig out this herb from the pond. What do you think?"

Yang Jin looked at the picture on Xia Qing's phone and recognized it. "This is one of the herbs needed to detoxify Zhang Hongda. I didn't realize that the leaf that flashed by in the video was this herb. Fortunately, you recognized it. Now that you have found it, of course you must bring it back."

Xia Qing knew that given the relationship between Luo Pei and Yue Haiying, Yang Jin must be one of the people Yue Haiying asked to find herbs, so it was not surprising that he recognized the uses of the herbs in the picture.

He didn't recognize the leaf that flashed by and looked very similar to an ordinary grass leaf. It was not surprising because Yang Jin was not a professional herb collector. If he hadn't followed the two weasels every day and had already deeply engraved the subtle features of the two herbs into his mind, Xia Qing would not have noticed the flashing grass leaf.

However, one should still be humble and objective. "It was my third brother who recognized it. He said that the herb growing on the underwater rock wall should be a different evolution of the same herb. Its efficacy is still uncertain."

If this herb works, Xia Qing can change the number of herbs posted in the sheep shed from two to one after returning. To obtain herbs from the Python Pond at a depth of about ten meters, a feasible plan must be made in advance.

Xia Qing's plan was to cut down trees and tie them into wooden sticks more than ten meters long, then tie a stone, a flashlight and a hook to one end, and then dive them underwater to catch herbs.

This plan was rejected by Yang Jin because according to the observation of the underwater detector, the herbs grew in the cracks of the rocks. The method of collecting herbs proposed by Xia Qing was not flexible enough to ensure the integrity of the herbs, and the efficacy would be destroyed. Moreover, this pool was connected to an underground river, and there might be pythons or other large creatures hidden in it. It was very likely that the stick would be broken by the python before it could hook the herbs.

The final plan was that the two of them would first lead away the pythons or other aggressive animals that might be lurking in the water, and then Yang Jin would go down to collect herbs, while Xia Qing would be responsible for sniping the beasts lurking in the water and protecting Yang Jin. As for how to divide the profits, it would depend on the contribution of the two during the execution of the task.

Yang Jin handed a special pistol to Xia Qing and taught her how to shoot it. Then Yang Jin went to find a suitable place to make a trap to temporarily trap the python.

Since the pythons on Hill 55 were able to drive away the wolves and gather killer snakes from the surrounding mountains, forming a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with them that capitalized on their strengths and avoided their weaknesses, this suggests that a brain-evolved leader may have evolved among the pythons.

Large, intelligent beasts can gather their own kind to form a powerful fighting force. If humans take the initiative to provoke and kill members of this group, it is likely to trigger crazy revenge from the beasts. The fight between the western wolf pack and the humans at Huisan Base a while ago is a bloody lesson.

Therefore, the python group on Mountain 55 needs to be included in the list of "high-level evolved beasts that cannot be actively provoked" and treated with caution.

This time, Xia Qing and Yang Jin formed a team not to kill the pythons, nor to compete with them for territory or prey. They just wanted to dig up a few grasses in the pythons' territory. There was no need to make enemies with them, just lead them away.

While Yang Jin went to find and make traps, Xia Qing used a sniper rifle to hunt an evolved animal that was unknown whether it was a deer, cow or sheep. He dismembered it into pieces, tied it tightly with ropes, and made it into bait for catching pythons.

After Yang Jin used the aggressively evolved vines to make a rope trap that could trap the giant python, the two came to the small pond, threw a bait into the pond, and began to let out the rope.

After waiting for less than two minutes, Xia Qing saw a dark shadow appear in the deep water and quickly grew larger. He subconsciously shouted:
"coming!"

When Yang Jin, who was pulling the rope, quickly pulled the bait out of the water, a python with a bloody mouth broke out of the water and jumped more than six meters high.

It was the first time that Xia Qing had such close contact with a live python. All the hair on his body stood up. He felt excited and nervous.

After watching how Yang Jin used bait to lure the giant python away, Xia Qing put the second bait into the water and stared at the bottom of the water with wide eyes.

When seeing the black shadow emerging, Xia Qing couldn't help but curse: Fuck!

She used a piece of meat to catch two giant pythons!
