Chapter 1902

"The Xiong Wang's brain-domain evolution level is confirmed to be high-level." Zhang Song stared at the Xiong Wang holding a mini-sized biodegradable honey jar with a grass rope on the screen and commented.

"First, after the Xiong Wang was injured, it didn't attack any creature that approached it violently like an ordinary fierce beast, but judged that Xia Qing was not a threat to it and could even help it solve problems, indicating that its danger identification ability had reached a high level."

"Second, the Xiong Wang knows that Xia Qing's hands are more useful than bear claws, knows that Xia Qing and saki monkeys can crawl into caves it can't get into, and after confirming that Xia Qing couldn't get in, it pulled her out and continued to widen the cave entrance. This belongs to the reverse thinking of tool cognition, and this kind of abstract logical chain requires at least a high-level brain domain to establish."

"Third, after Xia Qing treated its wound and fed it, it allowed Xia Qing to stuff the giant salamander back into the cave. This is not an instinctive food exchange, but a social behavior with expectation management. In summary, the Xiong Wang's intelligence level has at least reached the level of a ten-to-twelve-year-old human child—it can understand cause and effect, can perform simple interest trade-offs, and may even have the ability to delay gratification, belonging to a high-level brain-domain evolution level among animals."

"Third Brother, I think we should include this high-level brain-domain evolved Xiong Wang in the Blue Star Territory Alliance and let it learn human language and knowledge. After systematic learning, it can also become a qualified alliance leader and establish a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with humans." After Zhang Song finished speaking, he showed an excited expression.

Thinking of the scene where the tiger and the Xiong Wang joined the Blue Star Alliance and he held meetings with tigers, wolves, bears, and monkeys, Zhang Song was so excited that he wanted to roar.

After the helicopter tied with giant eagle claws patrolled the Northern evolutionary forest, it stopped steadily on the apron of the first peak of Mountain No. 49.

After Xia Qing returned to her territory, she first went home and took out Does Ergua from her backpack, let it go to the bathroom to wash up, and Xia Qing entered the underground food storage room and brought up the green-light black-skinned peanuts, cotton, peas, soybeans, dwarf oil sunflowers, and sunflower seeds kept for seeds.

After Does Ergua finished washing, Xia Qing put small pants, a small vest, and a small hat on it, and sent it to Shed No. 1 in the North Buffer Forest.

On the day the first Qi-rain ended, Territory No. 3 repaired the sheds damaged by the gale, covered them with insect-proof nets and rainproof tarps, and cleared the Qi-grass in the territory. The reason why so much work could be completed was because Xia Qing hired enough manpower.

In addition to the six people in Hu Zi's team, Xia Qing also hired retired soldiers from Territory No. 15, the corpse-carrying team from Territory No. 17, and the professional clearing team from Territory No. 12. The first three were the Qi-grass clearing personnel that Xia Qing hired after every Qi-rain, and the fourth was the one Tang Huai pestered Xia Qing to hire.

On the second morning after the disaster, Xia Qing and Boss Sheep fertilized, plowed, and irrigated all 10 empty sheds on the flat cultivated land of Territory No. 3.

At noon on the second day, Xia Qing led the team to bring back the green-light H-12 rice seedlings cultivated in the hidden valley to the territory, and two mu of rice were planted in Territory No. 3.

This morning, Xia Qing went to the bear pack territory, two members of Hu Zi's team cleared the open planting area in Territory No. 3, and Dai Gua and the Blue-Faced Little Monkey cleared the weeds on the terrace ridges in Shed No. 1. Boss Sheep wandered around in Shed No. 1 with the little yellow cow and the Melon-Skin Piglet, eating the weeds on the field ridges.

Does Ergua returned, naturally joining the weeding group in Shed No. 1. After they cleared the grass, Xia Qing could transplant the vegetable seedlings cultivated in the artificial climate culture room to the shed.

Does Ergua stared at the Blue-Faced Little Monkey, which had changed its coat color, and the Melon-Skin Piglet, which had grown a lot, for a few seconds, then ran to the snow-white Dai Gua, who was wearing new clothes, with a small hoe and started working.

Xia Qing encouraged the employees, handed a basket to Boss Sheep, and let it catch insects to feed the fish before taking the seeds and samples to Territory No. 7.

After seeing her idol, Xia Qing put the seeds she brought by her side and asked for a request with a grin, "Third Brother, can I use the screening equipment in your territory to pick out the high-quality optimized seeds from these seeds?"

She needed to screen out high-quality seeds, plant them in the hidden valley or the Gao Yi-element soil of the North Buffer Forest, and cultivate better seeds.

Technician No. 001 Xiao Feimao of Territory No. 3 was missing, so Xia Qing could only send the seeds to Territory No. 7 for paid screening.

Zhang San, sitting in the soft chair, raised his eyelids and glanced at the six bags of seeds Xia Qing brought, asking weakly, "Still haven't found your mouse?"

Xia Qing shook her head, "Probably won't be able to find it back."

Xiao Feimao, who couldn't be found even after the broken-waisted wolf searched the entire Northern wolf pack territory, might have left this mountain forest, or might have died under the claws of competitors or hunters.

According to Zhang Song's analysis, the two male mammals, Xiao Feimao and the hair-pulling cub, were likely to have left this mountain forest. His basis was some diffusion principle—mammals usually leave their birthplace to find new territories and mates in the distance, while females tend to stay in the group they were born in or nearby.

Zhang San asked, "No regrets?"

Xia Qing shook her head again. She had no regrets, just felt heartache.

No regrets, because although Xiao Feimao's brain-domain evolution level was not high, it was also a brain-domain evolver and her companion. It should have freedom, not be locked in a cage and become a tool for screening seeds.

Heartache, because the points Xiao Feimao owed Xia Qing were likely to become bad debts and could never be recovered...

Zhang San watched the new human opposite him quietly for a few seconds, then rang the bell, let Zhang Tao send someone to take the seeds for screening, and then took out a banana, two dragon fruits, and a box of cut pineapple cubes from the refrigerator and put them on the table, before picking up the giant salamander body fluid sample Xia Qing brought back and entering the laboratory.

The bananas and pineapples Tang Zhengbo brought from the safe zone the day before yesterday were both green-light and tasted good. After Xia Qing finished these uncommon fruits, she put the two dragon fruit skins and the banana peel into her pocket and brought them back for her companions to eat.

Zhang San was very fast and came out of the laboratory twenty-five minutes later.

He glanced at the clean tabletop, took out two more bananas from the refrigerator and handed them to the new human opposite, and said with a gentle expression, "It's also a green-light Yi-evolved giant salamander."

Xia Qing responded. She had already confirmed this point with her magnetic perception evolutionary ability when she was at Mountain No. 62, "Third Brother, can the Qi-source symbiotic slime bacteria in the giant salamander's body surface mucus make the Xiong Wang's nails grow back quickly?"

Zhang San didn't take the banana that Xia Qing peeled for him with her red paws, turned around and took out the last box of pineapple cubes from the refrigerator, ate a piece with a toothpick, and then opened his mouth, "What do you think counts as quick?"

Xia Qing asked cautiously, "Two months?"

May to July is the mating season for brown bears. If the Xiong Wang still couldn't recover its combat power by then, it would likely lose its position as Xiong Wang, mating rights, and even its partner and the little bear cub born last winter.

Because the new Xiong Wang might kill the cubs of the previous Xiong Wang, unless the new Xiong Wang was the offspring of the current Xiong Wang.

Besides the little bear cub that its partner just gave birth to, the current Xiong Wang only had two offspring—the gluttonous little bear who was two years and a few months old and the non-brain-domain evolved little bear sister.

Evolved brown bears only have reproductive ability at 4-6 years old, and can only reach the stage of full physiological maturity at 10-12 years old. So the gluttonous little bear and little bear sister now belong to sub-adult bears and are not the opponents of adult giant bears at all.

How did Xia Qing know how many cubs the irritable female giant bear gave birth to this year? Dai Gua told her; how did she know the Xiong Wang only had two offspring before? The broken-waisted wolf told her.
