Chapter 1778: Eliminate One of Their Birds

"No. 1 sniper position, a large beast has been spotted on the mountain peak 400 meters away at your seven o'clock, southwest of your current location. Maintain concealment."

"Received." The sentry at sniper position No. 1—sniper observer Lu Bin—responded.

Xia Qing, inside the tent, heard Lu Bin's voice, opened her eyes, waited a few seconds, and after confirming the situation was normal, closed her eyes again.

It would be her turn to defend in three hours, so Xia Qing had to seize the time to rest and save her physical strength for the battle after dawn.

The brown-black giant wolf, hidden in the shadows of the craggy rocks, quietly stared at the strange animal on the nearby mountain peak for a few seconds before its green wolf eyes looked back at the dense forest below.

The handsome giant wolf, lying in a depression in the mountain body of the dense forest, stared at the wolf on the mountain peak for a few seconds before closing its ice-blue eyes and resting. The giant wolf on the mountain peak also slowly lay down and closed its eyes.

Through the low-light night vision goggles, after confirming that the beast on the mountain peak had no intention to attack, observer Lu Bin, who was guarding outside the tent, breathed a sigh of relief.

When the sky began to brighten, Xia Qing was woken up by her alarm clock. She quickly tidied up her sleeping bag, took care of her personal needs, crawled out of the tent, walked out of the mountain fissure, and let Lu Bin go in to rest.

Lu Bin reported the situation, "Sister Qing, the intruder squad advanced ten miles during the night and is currently in the No. 94 mountain region, 8 kilometers away from us in a straight line. Three hours ago, a giant wolf stayed on the mountain peak in the seven o'clock direction for about 20 minutes; it should have discovered us. Two hours ago, the strongest beast here—a giant evolutionary snow leopard—also appeared in that position. It was more focused on the dense forest ahead. We sent a reconnaissance bird over to check and discovered a silver-gray giant wolf in the dense forest."

The handsome giant wolf, who doesn't study new knowledge by watching videos seriously, was discovered by the reconnaissance bird. Xia Qing must send this video to Queen Mother and have her order the handsome giant wolf to study seriously.

Xia Qing, with an expressionless face, complained in her heart and nodded, "Alright, you go in and rest. I'll find someone to swap shifts with and go down to take a look."

While Lu Bin crawled into the tent to catch up on sleep, Xia Qing obtained Wei Wei Xianyi's consent, swapped shifts with someone, and went down to the dense forest below to find the handsome giant wolf.

Without needing to ask, Xia Qing knew where the handsome giant wolf was. Because she already understood the wolf's habits very well, as well as the handsome giant wolf's personality, she knew what kind of place this guy liked to sleep in.

Xia Qing quickly found the handsome giant wolf and asked in a low voice, "Brother Giant Wolf, was the giant wolf that appeared on that mountain peak three hours ago Big Guy, Second Guy, or Black Three?"

The handsome giant wolf kept a cold, icy face and gave Xia Qing no feedback. Xia Qing, however, understood, "Not a member of our northern wolf pack? Then who is it? Do you know it?"

The handsome giant wolf still had no expression. Xia Qing continued to ask, "You know it? Alright. Is this that wolf's territory..."

After Xia Qing left the dense forest, the handsome giant wolf stood up, shook the fur on its body, ran rapidly across the plateau, and quickly stood in front of a brown-black giant wolf.

After the two wolves stared at each other murderously for a dozen seconds, the fur on the brown-black giant wolf's neck gradually flattened. It walked up to the handsome giant wolf, sniffed, and raised its two front paws.

After the two giant wolves played around for a while, the handsome giant wolf returned to the dense forest near Xia Qing's sniper point, and the brown-black giant wolf ran toward the highest peak of Mountain No. 90 and let out a long howl.

Evolutionary wolves in the surrounding mountain regions raised their heads and let out howls in response.

The squad advancing within Mountain No. 94 stopped immediately and listened quietly. An intruder introduced in a low voice through an intercom, "The frequency and tone of this wolf howl are members of the wolf pack responding to the lord's call, reporting their respective locations and safety status."

The captain of the intruder squad nodded and took out a map, "According to intelligence, there is a pack of evolutionary wolves with not-low combat power and two giant snow leopards ahead. We'd best bypass this area. Squad 4, follow me this way; Squad 5, go this way. Monkey Nine and Myna, follow Squad 5. Be careful not to approach this position on Mountain No. 87; two platoons of Hui-3 base troops are stationed here. After Squad 5 reaches this position, stand by. After I draw away the Hui-3 troops, you act. Move out!"

"Squeak!" The evolutionary macaque disagreed, raising its paw to press on the map to indicate it wanted to take the left route. The right side was close to the raptor territory; for a macaque, raptors were more threatening than the beasts on the ground.

Morning updrafts are the favorite hunting time for many raptors.

The captain of Squad 5 immediately spoke up, "Brother Peng, let Monkey Nine go with you guys."

Not big in size but full of tricks, I'll kill you sooner or later! Captain Zuo Peng cursed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face at all, "Squad 5 and Myna and Monkey Nine go left, I'll lead the squad right."

Monkey Nine didn't raise any further objections. It didn't care which humans it formed a squad with, as long as it stayed away from the raptor activity area.

"Captain, the intruders have released a barn owl and a myna. Judging by the flight direction of the two tamed birds, the intruders have split into two squads."

"Received, continue surveillance, be careful to avoid them." Wei Wei Xianyi ordered, "Everyone stay hidden, don't be discovered by the tamed birds in the air."

"Received." After Xia Qing replied, she contacted Little Wolf Sister via mobile phone, reminding her to stay hidden.

For the convenience of contact, Little Wolf Sister brought her mother's mobile phone on this mission. Little Wolf Sister is a wolf who doesn't like to write or type. After receiving the message, she directly replied to Xia Qing with a cool system-default emoji, indicating she had received it.

An hour later, after confirming that the intruders were heading in two directions and had no intention of reuniting, Wei Wei Xianyi decided to split his forces into two paths, but was stopped by Xia Qing, "Wait a moment, Team Leader Wei. I'll have the raven Bai Yan capture the intruders' barn owl first to see if they change their plans."

The intruders dared to split into two paths because they brought two tamed birds, which could execute aerial surveillance missions.

Since that was the case, capture one first!

"Alright." If their own tamed bird—no, bird companion—could capture the intruders' tamed bird, it would be equivalent to destroying one of the two eyes the intruders had hanging in the air, and the battle situation would be favorable to their side.

Seeing Xia Qing beckon, a pitch-black raven flew over and landed on her wrist. Lu Bin wasn't too surprised. Because the first platoon leader in their squad, Xu Yuan, also raised a tamed magpie.

Xia Qing fed Moli a few live mealworms, took out her phone to let it observe the target bird, and then pointed in the direction where the bird was, "Gua Gua, the barn owl has been released by the intruders to execute aerial surveillance. Look, it's this kind of bird. You and Bai Yan find a large raptor to go capture it. You must be careful, those humans have guns. Gua Gua, can you do it?"

"Caw—" Gua Gua called out, took off from Xia Qing's arm, circled the evolutionary forest, and flew toward the raptor territory with the raven Bai Yan.

Lu Bin couldn't hold it in, "Sister Qing, can it succeed?"

One bird telling another bird to find a third bird, and having the third bird go to a specific airspace to capture a specific target—the fourth bird. This mission was too complex for tamed birds.

Of course it can; this is the latest training result of Gua Gua and Bai Yan. Xia Qing trusted her two companions very much, but she didn't speak too definitively, "I don't know, let's try and see." ===== CHAPTER 1779 =====
