Chapter 1183: Sampling in the Fierce Tiger's Territory

"Mee~~~"

Seeing Xia Qing give food to the broken-waist wolf, Sheep Boss immediately called out.

"Boss wants food? Sure!" Xia Qing immediately went to the kitchen, cut a slice of radish, and held it to Boss's mouth. "Boss looks so cool riding the bicycle—this biggest green-bellied radish must belong to Boss!"

The household had gained another new appliance, and any need of Sheep Boss, the main power generator, had to be satisfied immediately.

Sheep Boss crunched the radish, then contentedly went back to playing with the bicycle.

Xia Qing rewarded Wolf Lao Er with another, smaller piece of freeze-dried meat. "Wolf Lao Er also answered a question correctly, so he gets a reward."

Seeing there was food, the head wolf lying in the hanging chair turned its gaudy gold eyes toward Xia Qing.

Xia Qing immediately offered a large piece of freeze-dried meat. "Queen my lord has raised Wolf Lao Er and little wolf sister so well—she's truly amazing. Queen my lord is the wolf king standing at the top of Jin Zita, so Queen my lord must get the biggest freeze-dried meat."

"Little wolf sister, this piece is a reward for you. From now on, don't doze off—listen carefully in class and answer questions seriously, and only then can you get big pieces of jerky."

"Scar-face, this one's yours. Not eating? Okay. Does Daigua, this one's for you—if you can answer questions, you can also get bigger jerky."

Xia Qing casually gave that small piece of jerky to the eagerly watching Does Daigua, then took out another piece. "Lao Si? Not eating either? Okay."

Xia Qing stuffed the last piece of jerky into her pocket and gave it to Little Feimao, then replayed Evolution Creatures Lesson Four. "I'm going upstairs for a medicinal bath. You all study hard—there's a test tomorrow, and only students who answer correctly will get big pieces of premium food."

Being an elementary school teacher was both tiring and rewarding. Xia Qing gave Wolf Lao Er, who had returned from patrol, a big piece of jerky, then stretched and went upstairs to fill the tub for her medicinal bath.

After this medicinal bath, the head wolf failed to keep the handsome giant wolf. Having lost her mount, Xia Qing could only call on Huo Zhun and Eryong to form a team, and flew the helicopter with two wolves toward the western evolution forest.

The old wolf, riding the helicopter for the second time, was much calmer than the first time, and so was Xia Qing. The Scar-face little wolf sitting between Xia Qing and the old wolf, though its muscles were taut with unease, also stayed quiet.

This little wolf, who had suffered so much, was steadier and more mature than Wolf Lao Er and little wolf sister.

The most uncalm one on the helicopter was Huo Zhun, because today's mission once again refreshed his understanding of evolution animals.

The well-traveled Eryong piloted the helicopter very calmly. Even if Xia Qing ordered the wolves to carry instruments and dig soil, or to climb trees and pick fruit, Eryong wouldn't find it strange.

"Sister Qing, look at those two silver-gray giant wolves below!" Huo Zhun spotted two silver-gray giant wolves fighting on the snow-covered Shanfeng of Area Forty.

Xia Qing, who was fitting food onto the Blind-Eye Tiger, glanced down through the porthole and saw the handsome giant wolf and its brother locked in fierce combat.

So the handsome giant wolf, after finishing its medicinal bath instead of waiting for her, had come to challenge its brother for the position of Western Wolf King?

She really shouldn't have stopped it—this was a major event in a wolf's life, concerning status, food, and mating rights.

After the helicopter landed at the spot Lao Si had chosen last time, Xia Qing strapped the detection instruments onto the old wolf's back, turned on the camera and walkie-talkie on the device, gave Lao Si a serious set of instructions, and only then sent it off with the gifts and Scar-face little wolf toward the Blind-Eye Tiger's territory.

Xia Qing? Of course she stayed in the cabin to wait. If she went along and accidentally provoked the formidable evolution tiger group, the consequences would be unthinkable.

The two wolves, who had just taken a medicinal bath the night before, entered the Blind-Eye Tiger's core territory in only five minutes. If these two hadn't caught two rabbits along the way, they wouldn't have needed even five minutes.

Huo Zhun, staying by Xia Qing's side, couldn't help asking, "Sister Qing, is this normal speed for normal evolution wolves? They've both speed-evolved, right?"

Xia Qing nodded.

Last time, Xia Qing and Wolf Lao Er had followed Lao Si from this spot to the Blind-Eye Tiger's core territory, and it had taken over half an hour. So Lao Si and Scar-face little wolf were definitely speed evolvers.

In other words, Lao Si was a three-type evolver—brain domain, strength, and speed. Xia Qing couldn't imagine how powerful it had been in its prime.

"Holy—!!!"

Seeing the evolution tiger suddenly appear on the monitor screen, Huo Zhun got a fright. "Looking at a tiger from this angle is absolutely incredible!"

Evolution tigers were much larger than evolution wolves, so the evolution tiger in the footage from the camera on Lao Si's back looked especially huge.

Even through the screen, the scene was shocking and oppressive.

Eryong, in charge of left-side defense, also glanced back and sighed, "This must be the angle of a rabbit looking at a tiger, a mouse looking at a cat, right? No wonder small animals get scared out of their wits."

The Blind-Eye Tiger stared at the old wolf for a full dozen seconds before picking up a rabbit in its mouth and, along with the package Xia Qing had prepared, walking away.

The rabbit had of course been given to the Blind-Eye Tiger by the old wolf—so the rabbit the old wolf had caught was meant as a gift for the Blind-Eye Tiger.

The old wolf followed the Blind-Eye Tiger forward with Scar-face little wolf. Xia Qing still had an impression of the Blind-Eye Tiger's core territory, and she quickly judged the old wolf's position based on the mountain terrain in the relayed footage.

Once it reached the growth area of the Viola philippica, Xia Qing immediately remotely activated the instrument, rapidly collecting data on the growing site—altitude, temperature, wind speed, surrounding terrain…

When the camera swiveled to the left and showed the murderous Blind-Eye Tiger, Xia Qing's heart involuntarily clenched again. This guy didn't eat eggs, jerky, or rabbits—what was it staring at the old wolf for?

Was it going to damage the equipment?

Please don't—if it really broke, she'd have to compensate her idol with points…

A few seconds later, the Blind-Eye Tiger padded over to the old wolf on its tiger paws and inspected what it had brought.

On Xia Qing's laptop screen, a large pink nose appeared, its broad nostrils quivering slightly.

"Roar—"

After the Blind-Eye Tiger used its sense of smell to investigate the instrument, huge fangs appeared in the camera's view, and a deep tiger's roar sounded.

That sound…

Xia Qing decisively pressed the walkie-talkie button. "Blind-Eye, long time no see—it's me, the human Xia Qing."

"Roar—"

The Blind-Eye Tiger let out another low roar, much louder than before, but not enough to alarm its neighbors. Xia Qing felt slightly relieved and explained softly, "I had Lao Si bring you eggs and freeze-dried meat to trade for a few Viola philippica. Is that okay?"

The Blind-Eye Tiger didn't make another sound and disappeared from the screen a few seconds later. Xia Qing confirmed it was Lao Si moving, and after confirming all the data her idol wanted had been measured, she pressed the button. "Lao Si, dig up some soil and bring back four Viola philippica. Blind-Eye, sorry to disturb you."

Lao Si, who often dug for worms in Territory Three, scraped up four plants in a few swipes of his paws, stuffed them into the package, and carried them out of the Blind-Eye Tiger's territory. He raced back with the little wolf and appeared in front of Xia Qing.

Xia Qing immediately removed the instruments from its back, gave it a flurry of praise, and handed it two eggs—just then, she saw in the colorful evolution forest eighty meters away a patch of yellow-and-black mottled stripes.

The Blind-Eye Tiger had followed them!
