Chapter 1892

Discovering that the Snake King was being pointed at by the gun and didn't dare to show its head, the Broken-Waist Wolf, who was killing snakes at the foot of the mountain, let out a howl, led the wolf pack to approach the pool, and exterminated the various poisonous snakes crawling out of the pool water.

The handsome giant wolf, which had just run back, didn't have time to take off Xia Qing's backpack before joining the snake-killing team.

"Woo——"

The Head Wolf standing beside Xia Qing let out a majestic, low howl. Now the acid element concentration in the atmosphere was 29‰, and firing a gun would definitely trigger an acid explosion. The Head Wolf reminded Xia Qing not to open fire.

"I know, Queen, don't worry. You go kill the snakes, swap Little Wolf Brother over, have him hold the gun, and I'll go pry stones to fill the pool."

Xia Qing, as a sniper, certainly understood that she couldn't fire a gun when the acid element was too high, but the Snake King certainly didn't know. As long as someone or a wolf was holding a gun, the Snake King wouldn't dare to show its head.

The Head Wolf shook its head to shake off the water droplets on its head and darted out with a howl.

In the drizzling acid rain, Little Wolf Brother and a main battle wolf, who were killing snakes, soon came to Xia Qing's side.

Little Wolf Brother and his father, the Broken-Waist Wolf, were curious about everything. They had certainly studied such a powerful weapon as a sniper rifle. But limited by their innate conditions, they couldn't use the sniper rifle and only learned from Xia Qing how to pose with it.

Knowing how to pose was enough to scare the Snake King, who had never seen the world.

Xia Qing set the sniper rifle on a stone, "Little Wolf Brother, the gun is handed to you all. Don't worry, there are no bullets in the gun."

Little Wolf Brother imitated Xia Qing's posture, resting his furry head on the gun barrel, lifting a front paw to press the trigger, and aiming the muzzle at the pool, looking just like the real thing.

After confirming that Little Wolf Brother was holding the gun and the giant pythons didn't dare to show their heads, Xia Qing drew her black knife, cut down more than a dozen poisonous snakes around her, rushed to the handsome giant wolf's side, took off her backpack, carried it on her back, climbed up the hillside, and rushed to the three wolves who were digging stones, "Little Wolf Sister, Little Four-Eyes, Big Guy, you all take a break, let me do it."

Four-Eyes Wolf let out an urgent howl at Xia Qing, and Little Wolf Sister lifted her bleeding paw, pointed at the pool, and roared angrily.

Below in the Python Pool, two mottled giant pythons were swimming rapidly, creating waves, and countless small snakes were slapped onto the shore by the waves, fleeing in all directions.

The black loach had already hidden in the murky pool water, nowhere to be found.

"I know, the stone you chose is very good. Let's pry it down together and smash the giant pythons to death!"

Xia Qing took a pry bar out of her backpack, lengthened it, screwed the pickaxe head onto one end of the pry bar, and quickly cleared the rubble in front of this giant stone.

Then, she unscrewed the pickaxe head, inserted one end of the pry bar under the stone, and took out a steel plate to wedge into the other end of the pry bar, "Little Wolf Sister, have Big Guy and Little Four-Eyes work with me to lift this steel plate."

The strength-evolved giant wolf Big Guy wasn't a brain-domain evolver and couldn't understand complex human language; Little Four-Eyes, who was both strength and primary brain-domain evolved, couldn't accurately understand complex human language either, so Xia Qing needed Little Wolf Sister to translate for her.

Amidst Little Wolf Sister's howling and gesturing, Xia Qing and the two strength-evolved wolves worked together to lift the steel plate and pried the giant stone. Little Wolf Sister immediately let out a howl, and the wolf pack below the stone immediately avoided it.

The giant stone, weighing more than 20 tons, rolled down the hillside and smashed into the pool with a "bang," splashing huge water sprays. The golden-eyed giant python and the other giant python, which were making waves in the pool, immediately dodged.

"Awoo..." The giant pythons weren't smashed to death, and Little Wolf Sister roared in disappointment.

"It's okay, let's do it again!"

"Bang!"

Xia Qing and the three wolves soon pried down the second giant stone, then the third, the fourth...

After the northern wolf pack snatched back Mountain No. 55 last year, the Head Wolf and the Broken-Waist Wolf funded Xia Qing to fill two-thirds of this 60-meter-deep pool, leaving only 20 meters deep.

They didn't continue to fill the pool, firstly because Xia Qing and the two wolf pack leaders felt that firmly blocking the underground dark river channel was enough, and secondly, if they continued to fill it, the pool water would submerge several caves under Mountain No. 55, one of which even grew precious and scarce medicinal herbs—Acid Wu Grass.

Unexpectedly, the Snake King, having finished hibernation, led the snake pack to sneak back to the Python Pool under Mountain No. 55 along the dark river during the acid rain period, reopened the underground waterway, and drilled out, wanting to take back this mountain area.

Based on the sound of the falling stones, Xia Qing confirmed that they hadn't opened the waterway at the bottom of the 60-meter-deep pool, but one on the pool wall.

In this situation, Xia Qing couldn't quickly confirm where the hole was on the pool wall. Since that was the case, she would fill this pool level!

Acid Wu Grass? Compared to life and safety, that thing was fundamentally unimportant!

During the acid rain period, she couldn't use guns or explosives, so Xia Qing took the evolved wolves to pry stones one by one and smash them down. Even the stone on the top of the second peak, which was regarded as a throne by the Head Wolf, was pried down by Xia Qing and smashed into the Python Pool.

It should have been that the stones Xia Qing pried down blocked the underwater channel, and the three giant pythons coiled with acid snakes, along with dozens of large and medium-sized pythons and countless small snakes, fled along the outlet of the Python Pool.

If you look closely, you will find a small number of snow-white Yi snakes in the snake pack, but Xia Qing was busy prying stones at this moment and didn't have time to look at the species of the snakes that fled.

The Head Wolf and the handsome giant wolf led two main battle wolf packs to hunt down the giant pythons, and Little Wolf Brother chased after them with Xia Qing's sniper rifle. The Broken-Waist Wolf led the team to kill snakes, and Xia Qing continued to take the three wolves to pry stones to fill the pool.

It wasn't until the Python Pool was filled into a puddle with stones exposed that Xia Qing lay on the hillside, panting heavily.

The fine acid rain fell on her protective mask, forming fine lines of water. Beyond the water lines was the low-hanging sky. The wind had stopped, the rain clouds were getting thicker, and she didn't know how long this acid rain would last.

The Head Wolf, carrying the sniper rifle, returned to the core territory, came to Xia Qing's side, touched her protective mask with its wet head, and raised its head to howl.

There was no joy of victory in the Head Wolf's cry, only the sadness and anger of the death of its companions.

Xia Qing had already discovered six wolf corpses and three otter corpses. In the dense acid grass, she didn't know how many corpses of northern wolf pack members were lying there.

Amidst the intermittent wolf howls, the Broken-Leg Wolf ran over and pawed at Xia Qing, wanting her to stand up. The handsome giant wolf roared and drove the Broken-Leg Wolf away, then lowered its head to sniff Xia Qing's lower abdomen.

The handsome giant wolf's sense of smell was very keen; it must have smelled the blood on her.

Xia Qing propped up her upper body with trembling arms, leaned against a stone, and responded with a hoarse voice, "Brother Giant Wolf, I'm fine."

The handsome giant wolf licked Xia Qing's protective mask and raised its head to let out a long, sad howl.

Xia Qing raised her trembling hand, touched the handsome giant wolf's neck, confirmed that the Yi stone necklace was still there, and let out a slight sigh of relief.

The Broken-Waist Wolf ran up the hillside, rubbed against Xia Qing's protective mask, and turned around.

"Okay." Xia Qing struggled to climb up and followed the Broken-Waist Wolf downward. The battle was over, it was time to rescue the wounded.

Seeing Xia Qing walking staggeringly, the handsome giant wolf walked over and stopped beside her.

"Many thanks, Brother Handsome Wolf."

Xia Qing, the fourth combat force of the wolf pack, climbed onto the back of the handsome giant wolf, the third combat force, and followed the Broken-Waist Wolf, the second combat force, into a cave halfway up the mountain.
