Chapter 1739: Bears, Leopards, Wolves, and Lynx

Xia Qing didn't have much concept of how many schemes a wolf could have, but now she did.

Damn it, she thought she was following the Broken-Waist Wolf to pick up leaks today, but only after arriving did she realize that this treacherous wolf came to pick up leaks and actually wanted to take advantage of her!

Could her face and this little bit of light cover a treacherous wolf with so many schemes and its cubs!

Huo Zhun, who followed Xia Qing to hunt, lowered his voice, "Qing-Zhao Jie, Boss Duan-ge, Bear-ge has discovered us, should we go over and say hello?"

Say hello?

Look at the two bears beside the Xiong Wang, as well as the three leopards hiding in the large tree in the distance, and the two giant wolves and one giant lynx behind the giant rock under the large tree. Which one of them looks like they want to say hello to us?!

Xia Qing did want to pick up leaks, but she didn't want to risk her life to do it.

But before she could retreat, the treacherous Broken-Waist Wolf, who had rolled in mud, nudged her with its head and forced her to take a step forward!

Xia Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk a step toward the Xiong Wang hiding behind the large rock, asking in a low voice, "Xiong Wang, Little Bear-Zhao Jie, are you going to war with those leopards, wolves, and lynx? Do you need our help?"

The Xiong Wang didn't show any intention of getting angry, but the two bears beside it had already revealed their fangs, looking like they wanted to tear Xia Qing apart with one claw. The six fierce beasts opposite were also staring at Xia Qing murderously.

Xia Qing bit the bullet and walked a few more steps, standing with the two wolves and one human beside the Xiong Wang, staring at the six fierce beasts opposite with the three bears.

Mountain 89 on the Northern Plateau should be the boundary between the bear pack and the fierce beast pack of the Northern Plateau. The lords of the fierce beasts, all rolled in mud, stood in a silent confrontation, likely to compete for the best hunting point.

They didn't roar to show their strength because they were afraid that the beast roar would startle the "leak" the Broken-Waist Wolf wanted to pick up.

If the two sides were evenly matched before, after Xia Qing joined the team, the alliance composed of six leopards, wolves, and lynx should give up the territory.

Sure enough, three minutes later, the other side retreated. The Xiong Wang walked over on all fours, sat under a large tree, rubbed the mud on its front claws on a rock, and extended its dirty claws toward Xia Qing.

This familiar action made Xia Qing's tense nerves relax a little. She gestured for the two wolves and one human behind her not to move, then stepped forward, first wiped the Xiong Wang's black claws clean with a wet wipe, and then poured a small bag of freeze-dried food onto its claws, "Bear-ge, this is freeze-dried food made from green-light bamboo rat meat raised by me and the Broken-Waist Wolf. Taste it and see how it is. If you like it, you can..."

Before Xia Qing could finish, the Xiong Wang had already poured the freeze-dried food into its mouth and extended its large black claws again.

Xia Qing quickly pulled out another bag of freeze-dried food, tore it open, and poured it on. She didn't feel sorry for pouring it at all, because this trip was brought by the Broken-Waist Wolf, so however much freeze-dried food she sent out, the Broken-Waist Wolf would have to compensate her with that many green-light bamboo rats.

After eating six bags of freeze-dried food to fill the gaps in its teeth, the Xiong Wang handed the seventh bag of freeze-dried food to the giant bear beside it.

Xia Qing also recognized this bear. She greeted it enthusiastically in a low voice, "Little Bear-Zhao Jie, taste it. This freeze-dried food tastes very good; even Xiong Wang said it was good after eating it."

The young giant female bear staring at Xia Qing ate the freeze-dried food as if it were gnawing on Xia Qing, which made Huo Zhun want to jump over, carry Xia Qing, and escape back to the helicopter immediately.

Seeing this bear willing to eat her food, Xia Qing felt much more at ease. After coaxing the Xiong Wang with six eggs and a bag of honey, she gestured for the two wolves and one human behind her to follow.

Seeing Huo Zhun approaching, the Xiong Wang and the two brown bears revealed their fangs at the same time, and their murderous aura soared.

Xia Qing immediately ordered, "Huo Zhun, retreat fifty meters."

"Received." Huo Zhun responded while retreating, staying away from the bear pack.

The Broken-Waist Wolf paused for a second before stepping forward, standing beside Xia Qing, and sniffing the Xiong Wang. The Little Wolf Sister, who was clearly in a tense state, also stepped forward to sniff.

The relationship between the wolf pack and the bear pack was neither good nor bad. After the two sides greeted each other, the bear pack occupied the position of the leopard, wolf, and lynx, while the human and two wolves occupied the position the bear pack had just vacated, carefully observing the basin in the distance.

In this plateau with jagged rocks and sparse vegetation, the spring colors in the basin that couldn't be seen at a glance looked exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

Xia Qing stared at the leopard, wolf, and lynx alliance that had retreated to 500 meters away for a while, let the Little Wolf Sister keep an eye on those six fierce beasts, and took out her binoculars to look for large herbivores in the basin.

Although she couldn't see them with binoculars, Xia Qing captured the sound of animal fighting with her keen hearing. This movement should be twenty or thirty large animals with hard horns and hooves competing.

Xia Qing quickly formulated a plan to pick up leaks, "Everyone, find a place to hide, try to restrain your murderous aura as much as possible, and avoid fierce birds in the sky and fierce beasts on the ground."

The giant fierce birds on the towering stone pillars and the giant bears active on the ground were the main reasons why humans didn't come to this area to hunt. Xia Qing only wanted to pick up leaks and didn't want to go to war with fierce birds and fierce beasts.

"Understood." Huo Zhun slowly retreated and hid. The attention of the fierce beasts had already been attracted by the fighting sounds in the distance, so they didn't care about the small humans leaving.

After Huo Zhun left, Xia Qing asked in a low voice, "Broken-Waist one, what kind of animal is fighting? Deer or sheep?"

The Broken-Waist Wolf, staring ahead, directly lifted its muddy paw and wrote four standard Chinese characters on the rock in front of it: Evolved Ma Lu.

Ma Lu? Xia Qing quickly flipped through the information on her phone and understood why this group of fierce beasts was surrounding this place.

Although evolved red deer are herbivores, they have huge bodies and fierce combat power. During the breeding season, the sex hormones in male red deer are 8-10 times higher than usual. There are only two things in their brains: mating, and killing everything that hinders mating, including but not limited to their competitors, wolves, bears, leopards, and even passing wild rabbits; their own shadows would become targets for red deer attacks!

No wonder this group of hunters rolled in mud and hid so far away, because if they got close and were captured by the evolved red deer, they would also become targets for indiscriminate attacks by the evolved red deer.

However, the information recorded that red deer groups usually consist of one male deer and two or three female deer and their next generation, and the competition for mates among male red deer is also one-on-one. The movement in front of them clearly didn't conform to the habits of red deer recorded in the information.

Xia Qing didn't doubt the judgment of the scholar wolf. Blue Star had evolved, so the habits of evolved red deer were definitely different from ordinary red deer.

While the red deer were clashing with their antlers and hooves, Huo Zhun returned behind Xia Qing.

Xia Qing lowered her voice and ordered through the walkie-talkie, "Everyone, get ready. After I rush down, your positions will move forward in turn, transferring the prey to a safe location. Huo Zhun, do not cross the position where I am now."

"Received."

"Received."

Before the human team members could finish replying, Xia Qing's eyes lit up, because she saw the prey for today walking out of the dense forest one after another and walking toward this side.

One, two, three... a full twenty-six male evolved red deer with large tree-like antlers on their heads, with an estimated weight of over 400 pounds each. Although these defeated red deer were covered in wounds, some with broken antlers and some walking with a limp, they hadn't lost their combat power and didn't break their formation when moving forward.

This leak wasn't so easy to pick up, but Xia Qing had to pick it up, and she had to pick up at least two. Otherwise, the team rewards and fuel money she had already paid out wouldn't be recovered!

The Xiong Wang, who had occupied the best attack position, waited quietly for the red deer group to walk close, then swished and drilled out.

The two brown bears followed closely, then the two wolves and one human, and then the leopard, wolf, and lynx alliance from the distance also rushed toward the evolved red deer group from another direction.
