Chapter 1126: Wolf-Bear Melee

The giant python surfaced, signaling that a new round of the invasion defense battle was about to begin.

However…

Xia Qing stared at that golden-vertical-pupil giant python, silently guessing what it meant by retreating 500 meters, thinking the 2000-meter distance was very safe and that her weapons couldn't reach it?

If that were really the case, then this python's brain-domain evolution level was quite high, and according to the relevant regulations, it should be listed in the "Evolution Forest Fierce Beasts That Must Not Be Proactively Provoked" roster.

Just then, another giant python appeared beside the golden-pupil giant python; compared to the golden-pupil giant python that surfaced over four meters high, this one looked utterly speech-inducing.

Damn it—either come out completely or stay cowardly completely; what's the deal with only showing half your head above the water? Half-assing it, making it easier to run? Where's your dominance, left behind in the Number Fifty-Five Mountain python pool?

"Woo—" the battle was about to begin; the head wolf growled softly, calling Xia Qing back to formation.

Xia Qing patted Daigua, signaling it to cross the river and join the bear team; she herself quickly rejoined the wolf team, standing on the head wolf's left and right sides respectively with the handsome giant wolf. The broken-waist wolf leapt down from high ground, landing steadily in front of Xia Qing, and raised a paw to press down on her sniper rifle.

Xia Qing gestured her question: "Broken-waist, you mean don't let me use the gun against the white snakes crawling into the valley?"

The broken-waist wolf bared its fangs—now snowy white little tips again—and then raised a big paw to point at the nine giant pythons that had risen one after another on the lake surface.

This was the wolf pack's territory defense battle, and even more a feast of revelry; the snakes in the valley were to be caught by the wolf pack, and Xia Qing's task was to keep an eye on the nine giant pythons in the distance.

"Understood, I'll watch the distant giant pythons and not let them charge over to join the battle." After confirming the message with the broken-waist wolf, Xia Qing made a request: "Third Brother needs two live white snakes for research; can Broken-waist catch two live ones?"

The broken-waist wolf bared its fangs, indicating it could.

"Awoo—woo—"

"Roar————"

Snow-Bai Yi snakes poked their heads out of the lake; as they crawled onto the shore, the Wolf King and Xiong Wang let out howls, the wolf pack and bear pack following suit, the beast roars shaking heaven and earth.

Xin Yu in Territory Number Eight heard such a commotion coming from the eastern valley, worried something had happened to Xia Qing's side, and was about to order Guagua to go check. Guagua had already gone ahead of her, flying over the valley with the jade-belt sea eagle.

Although the video lagged and shook, seeing the valley situation transmitted back by the tamed bird, Xin Yu's heart clenched at once.

Thirteen evolution bears and twenty-eight evolution wolves stood on opposite sides of the river, all roaring at the lake at the same time—the scene was too stunning.

Zhang San, sitting before his notebook, saw that human standing among the wolf pack holding a gun, and found himself unable to accurately express his current emotions in words.

"Roar!" The Xiong Wang suddenly raised its head and roared; the bear pack raised their heads and roared together, and the wolf pack also raised their heads and roared along.

"Guagua, Xiao Yu, retreat, quick!" Xia Qing screamed along with them; the two of them didn't know the attraction this kind of white snake currently crawling ashore held for the bear pack and wolf pack, nor the aggressiveness of the Yi snakes; their flying altitude was too low, and the fierce beasts in the valley considered them to be coming to steal food.

Zhang San was simultaneously using the walkie-talkie to contact Xin Yu: "Xin Yu, quickly order the tamed birds to retreat!"

At the same time, Xin Yu also issued a retreat order to the two tamed birds; before she could finish shouting, the Xiong Wang suddenly stood up and hurled a basketball-sized stone viciously at the jade-belt sea eagle with its right forepaw.

The jade-belt sea eagle was clearly startled by the shockwave of bear roars and wolf howls and the flying stone, and flapped its wings to flee toward the high sky. The raven Molly Guagua shrieked and flapped its wings to chase after it.

Xia Qing connected Xin Yu's call: "I'm safe here; don't let Guagua and Xiao Yu fly at low altitude, or the bear pack and wolf pack will think they're coming to snatch prey."

"Copy that." Listening to the crackling static and beast roars on the phone, Xin Yu pressed her anxiety deep down and reported the situation: "Xiao Yu was startled; it won't be able to return to the observation area for a short time."

Xia Qing replied: "No problem, their safety is the most important. If you can't successfully calm them down, have them return to the territory immediately. If you need to go out looking for them, contact Hu Zifeng and dispatch the Number Forty-Nine Mountain helicopter."

"Got it, you stay safe."

After hanging up the phone and replying to Zhang San, Xin Yu stopped watching the blacked-out screen. Guagua and Xiao Yu had already flown out of the hillside micro base station's coverage area; now she could only wait for them to fly out of the magnetic-field chaos zone, after which the communicator on Xiao Yu could link up with the satellite, and only then could Xin Yu make contact with them.

"Awoo!!!"

"Roar!!!"

The Wolf King and Xiong Wang let out short, commanding roars; the wolves and bears in the valley surged forward and began preying on the dozens of Yi snakes—each entwined with one or two Qiang snakes—that had crawled onto the shore. Xia Qing remained standing in place, aiming her sniper rifle at the eight-and-a-half giant pythons rising on the lake surface 2000 meters away.

The lords of Number Sixty Mountain and Number Sixty-One Mountain had very rich experience fighting snake packs; they always dealt with the more agile Qiang snakes first, then bit the Yi snakes.

The Qiang snakes and Yi snakes blasted ashore as bait were no match at all for the evolution wolves and evolution bears.

The broken-waist wolf used its agile, sharp claws to pin a Qiang snake's neck, then used its other paw to stomp the Qiang snake's heart to pieces, then picked up the Yi snake in its mouth, shook off the Qiang snake, and bounded toward Xia Qing's position.

"Thanks, Handsome Wolf Bro, you're amazing!" Xia Qing set down the sniper rifle, immediately pulled the Yi snake coiled around the broken-waist wolf's head and neck off, and stuffed it into a bag.

After the broken-waist wolf caught another Yi snake and handed it to Xia Qing, it began the hunt.

Xia Qing stowed the two Yi snakes, raised the sniper rifle, and discovered that the giant pythons standing in the center of the lake had decreased—four fewer, only four and a half left!

Where had those four giant pythons gone—dived to the lake bottom, or were they approaching the southern shore?

Xia Qing quickly moved to the second sniper point on the southern side of the hillside, monitoring the distant four-and-a-half pythons while overlooking the lake surface, guarding against giant pythons shooting out to ambush the evolution wolves and evolution bears.

Under the influence of the Yi snakes' scent, the land fierce beasts grew more and more agitated, and the hunting speed grew faster and faster; after the Yi snakes that came ashore were hunted clean, a bear and a wolf pounced on a Yi snake in the river channel leading into the lake at the same time.

The wolf-bear melee was about to erupt.

When a single wolf fought a single bear, the wolf was at a disadvantage, but the wolves stimulated by the gas didn't know fear at all and were soon bloodied. The handsome giant wolf leapt into the water, used its head to knock its companion back onto the shore, then picked up the Yi snake in the water in its mouth and flung it into the wolf pack's territory.

The enraged bear no longer cared about the Yi snake; it charged at the handsome giant wolf, intent on tearing it apart!

"Roar!" The Xiong Wang roared angrily; another giant bear rushed over to try to pull back its companion charging toward the opposite bank. But it was still too late—this enraged brown bear charged into the wolf pack's territory and was surrounded by equally enraged wolves.

"Awoo—" the head wolf howled commandingly, leaping into the river channel to block a companion about to charge into the bear pack's territory; the broken-waist wolf roared commandingly from high ground.

The head wolf joined the battle, the Xiong Wang entered the fray, but both of their targets were to block companions charging toward the opposite bank; the situation had not yet completely spun out of control. At this critical moment, the snake pack's second invasion echelon appeared.
