Chapter 1327: Brawl

The giant python Black Loach's position was roughly 2,000 meters in a straight line from where the northern wolf pack was hiding, which was also one of the reasons Xia Qing determined that Black Loach's brain domain evolution was not low.

Two months ago, when Xia Qing participated in the battle between wolves, bears, and pythons, she had shot and killed the giant python on the lake surface from a distance of 1,500 meters. Later, when the golden-eyed green python leader of the python lake appeared again, the distance between it and Xia Qing had widened to 2,000 meters, and Xia Qing did not fire again.

That black python judged based on this that 2,000 meters from Xia Qing was safe, so it dared to brazenly appear on that large banyan tree, watching Xia Qing and the wolf pack.

But it did not know that at this distance, even if top sniper Xia Qing installed a suppressor on her sniper rifle, she could still send a bullet accurately from its eye into its head.

However, before taking action, Xia Qing needed to get the approval of the lead wolf, because she had come here today following the wolf pack to catch snakes. After the black python recognized the northern wolf pack and wanted revenge, the most dangerous one was not Xia Qing, but the northern wolf pack.

The northern wolf king staring at the black python slowly closed its mouth.

"Not kill it? Okay."

Xia Qing stood quietly beside the lead wolf, guessing the reason it decided not to kill Black Loach.

It might be because this basin was not the northern wolf pack's territory; they came here to hunt pythons, not to seize territory. It might also be because the lead wolf thought the area below was very dangerous; even if they killed Black Loach, they had no way to get it out to skin it for protective clothing or eat it, so it didn't kill.

But one thing was certain: that black python had not killed any northern wolf pack members, otherwise the lead wolf would not have let it go.

Whatever the reason, since the lead wolf decided not to kill this "neighbor," Xia Qing would not pull the trigger.

She raised her hand to take off the net bag tucked behind her back, fished out a small snake from the net bag, and fed it to the big fellow beside her who had carried her out of the basin.

The big fellow and the second fellow, these two giant wolves, had much better tempers than the handsome giant wolf. Although they used to be unwilling to carry Xia Qing, after Xia Qing was accepted by the northern wolf pack, they had no objections. Such good companions naturally had to be fed.

Seeing Xia Qing start catching snakes to eat, the broken-leg wolf on defense duty had just started moving toward Xia Qing when it was driven back by a low growl from the lead wolf.

Although its eyes were fixed on the black python, the lead wolf still used its hearing to monitor the situation of the entire team.

Xia Qing grabbed the last small snake and stuffed it into the animal skin bag at her waist. The lead wolf, broken-waist wolf, and handsome giant wolf were competing in aura with Black Loach; she could not hold them back like the broken-leg wolf.

"Cough-howl—!! Cough-howl—!!"

The macaque troop hidden among the dense branches and leaves of the northern forest of the basin let out extremely angry roars.

Xia Qing took out her binoculars, found the broken-brow monkey three thousand meters away that was howling and leaping rapidly between trees, and memorized the high-pitched, piercing sound it made.

As she turned her binoculars, Xia Qing suddenly discovered that the southern wolf pack was using vegetation to hide their tracks, moving north.

If the southern wolf pack were returning to their territory, they should head west. Old Four is about to...

Just then, a giant eagle circling above the basin dove downward. Its shadow cast into the basin rapidly grew larger, covering the big head of Black Loach that was staring at the northern wolf pack!

"Screech!!!"

When the giant eagle's two sharp talons reached three meters above Black Loach's head, Black Loach, which had been staring at the wolf pack, nimbly twisted its body and suddenly leaped up, opening its mouth—bigger than its head and full of barbed fangs—and bit the neck and one wing of this long-haired prey.

The giant eagle, with a wingspan of about six and a half meters, which had overestimated itself trying to gouge out the eyes of the giant python, became the python's prey. It struggled in vain as it was dragged by the giant python into the large banyan tree and disappeared into the thick fog.

The raptors flying above the basin immediately rose higher, and their screeching became even more high-pitched.

"Oh! Oh! Ooh!!"

Seeing the giant eagle caught by the giant python, the broken-brow macaque troop that had just lost a baby and was hiding in the dense forest above the basin cheered without restraint.

The raptors began gathering above the macaque troop, but since the macaques were all hidden in the dense forest, they could do nothing about it.

Just then, the old wolf of the southern wolf pack, which had a grudge against this macaque troop, charged at extreme speed toward the broken-brow monkey that was leaping between branches and about to land on the branch ahead.

Although the broken-brow monkey tried its best to dodge, its arm was still scratched by the old wolf. Bright red blood droplets and the troop's screams flew and spread at the same time.

"Squeak! Squeak!!"

The macaque troop attacked by the wolf pack shrieked and began fleeing again.

Thirteen members of the southern wolf pack, including the broken-face little wolf, chased beneath the trees, more than ten raptors circled overhead, and the broken-brow monkey troop fled frantically.

After this brawl between wolves, monkeys, and raptors was blocked by the dense forest, Xia Qing lowered her voice to report the situation. "Queen my lord, Old Four led the southern wolf pack to chase and kill the broken-brow monkey troop. That macaque troop invaded the southern wolf pack's territory this spring."

The broken-waist wolf looked at the handsome giant wolf baring its fangs, then looked at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing added, "Broken-waist is right. That macaque troop also invaded the western wolf pack's territory. I also had Broken-waist deliver a message to the western wolf pack, and Giant Wolf Brother even led a team to help."

The broken-waist wolf grinned, then looked toward the southeast together with the lead wolf and the handsome giant wolf. Xia Qing, sensing something, raised her binoculars.

"Roar—"

"Roar—"

The raptors circling and screeching above the basin finally alarmed the giant bears of Mountain No. 61. Although she had not yet seen the giant bears through her binoculars, from this deep, resonant roar, Xia Qing confirmed two things:

First, these were the voices of the bear king and the irritable mother giant bear.

Second, this was the bear group's territory. Because the two giant bears' roars were righteous and angry, they were declaring to all animals that this was the bear group's territory.

Are raptors with an eight-meter wingspan formidable? Yes. Is a sixteen- or seventeen-meter-long giant python formidable? Yes. But if a raptor dares to land, or a giant python dares to come ashore to show off, they will be caught and smashed flat by the speed-evolved giant bears.

In one-on-one combat, the bear king, in the northern evolution forest, held absolute advantages in size, speed, and strength.

So after the giant bears appeared, the raptors immediately flew higher, and the giant python weaving through the rainforest quickly retreated deep into the hot spring lake. Then the lead wolf turned around and led the team back to its own territory.

Xia Qing, traveling with the team, guessed the reason the lead wolf had waited here: because the giant python appeared too quickly today, and although the little ones had eaten their fill, the main battle wolves had not eaten many snakes.

The lead wolf must have been thinking that if the giant bears didn't appear, after the pythons returned to the hot spring lake, it would lead the team over for a meal. The northern wolf king's courage really was... even bolder than bear gall and leopard胆!

After smoothly returning to Mountain No. 59 and boarding the helicopter, Xia Qing, dressed in dead-leaf color, gave the order: "Er Yong, head to the valley between Mountain No. 60 and Mountain No. 61 to take a look."

"Copy that."

Er Yong didn't ask what Xia Qing was going to do, and directly took off in the helicopter, reaching the airspace above the area Xia Qing had designated.

Hu Zifeng, sitting in the co-pilot seat, reported: "Sister Qing, four bears discovered in the forest in the valley, suspected to be feeding."

Xia Qing looked down, confirmed that the greedy little bear was here, and ordered the helicopter to return to the territory.
