Chapter 1319: The Basin of Mountain Region Sixty-Seven

When Xia Qing ran to the vicinity of the helipad, Beard Feng and Er Yong were already in position and had opened the cabin door, but there wasn't a single wolf inside the cabin.

After Xia Qing and Wolf Lao Er approached, the Head Wolf led the Broken-Waist Wolf, Broken-Leg Girl, Big Guy, Little Wolf Girl, Little Four-Eyes, and the Plucked-Fur Weasel father and son out of the forest.

Clearly, these wolves were going to take the helicopter with the Head Wolf to the destination.

Where were the other wolves? Weren't all the wolves that soaked in the medicinal bath last night going? Just as Xia Qing was greeting the wolf pack and looking for Handsome Giant Wolf, Little White Fur, and Little Little White Fur, the Plucked-Fur Baby ran over and climbed onto her protective mask.

Xia Qing felt that right now, her combat power was super strong!

She carefully walked into the cabin and sat down steadily. After waiting for the Head Wolf to lead the wolf pack into the cabin, Xia Qing glanced at the Plucked-Fur Weasel huddled beside Wolf Lao Er and began silently calculating the repair costs after the helicopter got stunk up...

"Queen my lord, Brother Duan." Beard Feng, sitting in the co-pilot seat, greeted the wolf pack leaders and carefully asked, "Sister Qing, is this the Plucked-Fur Baby?"

"Yes." Xia Qing didn't dare nod and answered aloud.

Beard Feng didn't dare speak either. He turned around and obediently stared ahead. The memory of this weasel's toxic gas was far too vivid for him—vivid enough that he couldn't eat for over a week. Little Fifth, who had been directly hit by the toxic gas, suffered damage to his vision and sense of smell and still hadn't fully recovered.

Er Yong, piloting the helicopter, cheerfully greeted them, "Sister Qing, Queen my lord, Brother Duan, Little Wolf Bro..."

"Awoo!" Little Wolf Girl let out a furious roar.

Xia Qing, sitting ramrod straight, reminded him, "This is Little Wolf Girl."

Er Yong...

After Zhang Hongda arrived, the wolf pack roared in unison. Xia Qing explained for quite a while before letting him board the helicopter, which then took off heading for the Northern Evolution Forest.

After the helicopter took off, Xia Qing couldn't be bothered with the Plucked-Fur Baby that had burrowed under the lid of her backpack, because Broken-Leg Girl got airsick—worse than Broken-Leg Wolf—and the thing had vomited outright.

Fortunately, Xia Qing had prepared in advance and caught its vomit in a medium-sized bag.

The thing couldn't even be bothered to curse anyone. It clung tightly to the Head Wolf with its claws seeking protection. After the Head Wolf swatted it twice, it tried to grab Wolf Lao Er, but quick-eyed Xia Qing scooped it up in one motion and held it.

Little Four-Eyes scooted over with its belly on the floor, whimpering woefully to comfort its airsick mother. Xia Qing confirmed that this little fellow had inherited its father's constitution.

Broken-Leg Girl probably won't get another chance to ride in a helicopter in the future.

Half an hour later, the helicopter landed on the peak of Mountain Fifty-Nine. The Head Wolf led the wolf pack jumping out of the helicopter, and Xia Qing jumped down too, placing Broken-Leg Girl on the ground. After half a minute of recovery, the thing started cursing the helicopter nonstop.

The Head Wolf glanced at it and led the team running north.

Seeing that Broken-Leg Girl was fine, Xia Qing handed the helicopter over to Beard Feng and the other two. She flipped over and climbed onto Big Guy's back. "Big Guy, please carry me for a stretch."

Big Guy obediently carried her running north. After running for a stretch, the Plucked-Fur Baby also jumped onto Big Guy's back, then climbed onto Xia Qing's backpack.

Only after the cabin door closed did Zhang Hongda come back to his senses from the shock. He slowly turned his head to look at the calm Captain Hu and Er Yong in front, opened his mouth several times, and didn't know what to say.

Xia Qing rode the wolf to Mountain Sixty and rendezvoused with the eight main force wolves of the Northern Wolf Pack, including Handsome Giant Wolf and Broken-Leg Wolf, who had soaked in the medicinal bath last night.

The Head Wolf, standing on high ground, let out a long howl and led the charge running north.

Xia Qing glanced at Handsome Giant Wolf, which was keeping its distance from her. She didn't continue riding Big Guy, but instead took the Plucked-Fur Baby and climbed onto Er Ge's back, with Wolf Dog Lao Er running alongside Er Ge.

Seeing Little White Fur and Little Little White Fur running as fast as lightning, Xia Qing realized that Little Little White Fur had inherited its mother's speed-evolution ability and was also a high-level speed evolver.

The Plucked-Fur Weasel and the Plucked-Fur Baby weren't speed evolvers and couldn't keep up with the full-speed advance of the evolved wolves. The Plucked-Fur Baby followed Xia Qing, and the Plucked-Fur Weasel lay on Broken-Leg Wolf's back.

The Head Wolf led the wolf pack away from Mountain Sixty, continuing to run north through the Evolution Forest on the west side of the python's territory. This place should belong to the raptor species' border territory, so the wolf pack's advance through the dense forest slowed down.

Xia Qing jumped down from Er Ge's back and ran along with the wolf pack. The Plucked-Fur Baby also jumped down from Xia Qing's back and ran off to join its father. Little Flying Hair, which had been in Xia Qing's pocket, poked out, perched on Xia Qing's shoulder for a while, then swiftly ran to a nearby tree, plucked a fruit, and burrowed back into Xia Qing's pocket.

After finishing her sixteenth medicinal bath, Xia Qing clearly felt that her muscles and bones had become tougher, and her running speed had increased somewhat, allowing her to keep up with the wolf pack's current marching speed.

After advancing through the dense forest for an hour, the wolf pack stopped to rest and hunt for food.

Panting Xia Qing sat on a rock and gestured to Wolf Lao Er not to mind her, telling it to hurry off and hunt to replenish its stamina. She bit the straw and drank an X nutrient solution, then took out her phone and connected to the communications satellite. Checking the map, she discovered that she had actually followed the wolf pack from south to north across Mountain Sixty-Eight of the raptor's territory and was about to enter the Mountain Seventy region.

This place was the absolute depths of the Evolution Forest. Fifteen kilometers to the west was the raptor's core territory, and to the east was Mountain Sixty-Seven. After crossing two peaks to the west, one would reach the basin area full of poisonous insects, poisonous trees, and poisonous grass.

Even though it was now winter, the temperature in the Mountain Sixty-Seven basin area remained above 25°C. Clouds and mist steamed up, poisonous insects were active, and danger lurked everywhere. Even wearing a special protective suit, Xia Qing didn't want to enter. The main force of the Northern Wolf Pack, with their pups, had left their territory and traveled all the way north—what exactly were they going to do?

Regardless of the weather outside, visibility inside the towering forest that blocked out the sky was very low. Xia Qing, wearing low-light night-vision goggles, looked at Little Wolf Bro, Little Wolf Girl, Little Four-Eyes, and the other two half-grown giant wolves resting on the rocks, and felt a bit more at ease.

These five half-grown wolves were the strongest five of the twelve pups born to the Northern Wolf Pack this spring that had survived until now. The Head Wolf bringing them along proved that the danger level of this operation wasn't high.

After the wolf pack finished eating, the Head Wolf stood up and let out an almost inaudible low howl, then glanced at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing didn't understand what the Head Wolf meant. Wolf Lao Er nudged her with a little force and brought her to the main force position on the Head Wolf's left rear. Then, Wolf Lao Er retreated behind the five half-grown wolves.

Xia Qing glanced at the wolf pack members' positions and understood there was danger ahead and that she needed to contribute her share. This was raptor territory, so the danger would definitely come from the sky. Xia Qing gripped her sniper rifle, activated her abilities to the fullest, and watched for movement on the left side.

After advancing for fifteen minutes, as the forest gradually brightened, Xia Qing also heard the sound of rushing water and understood why the wolf pack had to be on high alert—they were about to be exposed to the raptors' view while crossing a shallow water area over thirty meters wide.

After the Head Wolf stopped, the wolf pack halted. All members—including Xia Qing—stood quietly, waiting for the Head Wolf to issue the advance command again.

Two minutes later, Xia Qing heard the raptors' screeching cries. She looked up and saw a giant raptor with a wingspan exceeding eight meters flying overhead, and she couldn't help but curse silently.

This was the largest raptor she had seen with her own eyes in the eleven years since the Catastrophe!

After Blue Star went into frenzied evolution, the deep Evolution Forest had lush vegetation and abundant food, allowing giant animals to survive and grow strong. If this raptor in the sky went berserk, it could kick down a small helicopter!

After the raptor flew away, the Head Wolf looked back at Xia Qing. Only after Xia Qing nodded did it continue charging forward, while Xia Qing stood in place using her sniper rifle to provide cover for the wolf pack.

After the wolf pack crossed the shallow water area at top speed and entered the Evolution Forest on the other side, Xia Qing crossed the shallow water area at top speed to rendezvous with the wolf pack.

After confirming no raptors were attacking, the Head Wolf continued leading the team forward.

After roughly an hour of traversing up and down mountains through the dense forest, the wolf pack finally stopped. Without needing to take out her phone to check her location, Xia Qing knew where she was: the border between Mountain Seventy and Mountain Sixty-Seven.

Because below lay a basin shrouded in water mist, stretching as far as the eye could see!
