"Lao Si, Black Wolf King, when did you arrive at the eastern evolutionary forest? Who are these two?"

After Xia Qing rappelled into the No. 15 mountain range of the eastern evolutionary forest of Hui-3, she quickly found their hiding place according to the picture sent to her by the old wolf, and then she found that the old wolf, who had dyed its fur black, was standing with a wolf, a jackal, and a wild dog.

These three beasts all had skin injuries, and the wounds were all treated very sloppily. It was clear at a glance that it was Lao Si's work.

But Xia Qing is not her idol who stands at the top of the pyramid of nitpicking. In her opinion, regardless of whether it is standard or not, it works.

The three injured beasts were all jumping around, which shows that Lao Si did a great job!

That giant jackal had a fierce expression and didn't look like a brain-domain evolutionist. After Xia Qing looked at it for a second, she turned her gaze to the black short-haired, long-tailed, floppy-eared wild dog. Judging by its expression, this should be a brain-domain evolutionist.

The wild dog is a type of beast in the evolutionary forest that has a different origin from other beasts.

The sources of beasts in the evolutionary forest are mainly two types: the first type is beasts that lived in the wild before the disaster years, and the second type is beasts that escaped from zoos—especially large wild animal parks—in the first two years of the disaster.

Wild dogs and wild cats belong to the third type: they originally lived with humans as pets. Due to various reasons during the disaster years, they were separated from humans and went to the evolutionary forest to survive.

Most wild cats and wild dogs that returned to the evolutionary forest were eliminated by fierce survival competition. A few survived, bred offspring in the evolutionary forest, and occupied a piece of mountain forest.

Unlike wild cats that survive alone, wild dogs chose the same survival method as wolf packs—living in groups.

This year is the twelfth year of the disaster, and the wild dogs in the evolutionary forest have bred for eleven or twelve generations, and have completely decoupled from human society. So this wild dog in front of Xia Qing, whether it is its expression or standing posture, is no different from other beasts.

But Xia Qing, who lived from before the disaster years to now, still feels a sense of familiarity when seeing the wild dog, so her expression at this moment is very gentle.

Lao Si didn't answer the question Xia Qing asked casually. It walked up, sniffed Xia Qing, exchanged breath with her, and then turned around, signaling Xia Qing to follow it into the cave.

Xia Qing, wearing a protective mask and sniffing nothing, followed Lao Si, asking as she walked, "The wounded needing treatment are in the cave? Is it East..."

Before Xia Qing could finish her sentence, she quickly reached out and pinched the giant jackal that suddenly rushed over from the side to bite her neck, and at the same time kicked away the black wild dog that was pouncing on her from the other side.

Why didn't these two beasts sneak attack Xia Qing from behind? That is of course because the large backpack Xia Qing was carrying protected her back like a turtle shell, leaving these two beasts with nowhere to bite.

Lao Si, who was leading the way in front, quickly retreated to block the black wolf king who was about to pounce and bite Xia Qing, and turned to let out an angry and majestic roar at the giant jackal and wild dog that attacked Xia Qing.

"Woo!!"

"Awoo—"

"Woof woof!"

Xia Qing pressed the giant jackal that was barking at a high frequency to the ground with one hand, raised her right hand to press the pistol on her waist, and asked coldly, "Lao Si, what does this mean?"

Lao Si didn't expect the giant jackal and the wild dog to suddenly attack Xia Qing. It angrily bumped away the wild dog and bit the giant jackal that was pressed by Xia Qing.

The jackal howled in pain and struggled. Xia Qing retreated a step to avoid the flying beast fur and watched coldly.

The old wolf fought two, and soon beat the giant jackal and the wild dog until they lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, before turning to sniff Xia Qing's hand.

Xia Qing opened her hand to let it see, "Don't worry, just by their speed and strength, they can't hurt me at all."

She spent 50,000 points to learn from Yan Long for more than a month, and fought against the main force of the northern wolf pack for more than twenty days, so how could she be bitten by a jackal.

Giant jackal?

Hehe, the jackal's body size is smaller than the wolf's, so the giant jackal's body size is about the same as a normal evolutionary wolf that hasn't become giant.

The old wolf heard that Xia Qing was angry, raised its head, and let out a long howl.

Its cry just fell, and the earless wolf with pitch-black fur and Ao Yi with thick fur ran into the cave and came to the old wolf.

After the old wolf howled a few times in a low voice, it rubbed against Xia Qing with its body, signaling Xia Qing to walk in front, and it would protect Xia Qing's safety from behind.

Xia Qing came to earn points and understand the situation, not to fight. She nodded, turned, and walked forward, safely handing her back to the old wolf.

After the old wolf walked two steps, the black wolf king followed. The two lying on the ground also stood up and wanted to follow, but were pressed to the ground by the earless wolf and Ao Yi again.

Xia Qing glanced back and continued to walk forward.

The further inside, the darker the light. Xia Qing simply turned on the light on her head and carefully checked the situation in the cave. The old wolf following her didn't open its mouth to stop her.

Soon, Xia Qing heard the heavy breathing of beasts coming from the depths of the cave.

Listening to this breathing, Xia Qing judged that the beast inside either had a problem with its respiratory system or was poisoned, leading to mucosal edema or respiratory muscle paralysis.

She quickened her pace forward and saw the giant jackal with a shriveled belly lying on the dry grass behind a large rock. Based on the wound on its back, Xia Qing recognized that this was the No. 2 leader of the eastern jackal pack that she discovered when she flew over this mountain range by helicopter yesterday.

Seeing it, Xia Qing understood that the non-brain-domain evolutionary giant jackal attacking her just now was to protect its injured companion.

What about that wild dog that seemed to be a brain-domain evolutionist? Why did it take the opportunity to sneak attack her?

Why didn't Lao Si let Zhang Shi treat this jackal that was so seriously injured?

Now is not the time to ask about these situations. Xia Qing took out an anesthetic dart from the bag on her waist, knocked down the No. 2 jackal leader that was struggling to climb up and bare its teeth at her, and stepped forward to check its injuries.

"Its back was scratched by a beast's claws. The wound is very deep. If it weren't for the hemostatic medicine you used on it, Lao Si, it wouldn't have lasted until now."

Xia Qing measured the jackal's body temperature and pried open its mouth to look at its throat, asking, "It's poisoned. Its throat is red and swollen, and there are white blisters. Lao Si, which internal and external medicines did you use on it?"

Lao Si immediately took out its mobile phone from the wolf-belly pouch and showed Xia Qing the text it had typed in advance.

"No. 1 antidote, No. 3 hemostatic medicine, okay. Lao Si, I'll test its blood first to confirm what poison it has before giving it medicine."

Xia Qing drew the No. 2 jackal's blood and dripped it onto the rapid poison test paper prepared for her by her idol.

Fifteen seconds later, Xia Qing looked up, "Good news: it's not acid-synthetic poison; bad news: it's an evolutionary toxin that even Big Brother San has never seen before. Lao Si, are you sure you want to save this jackal?"

The old wolf, worth hundreds of millions, nodded calmly.

Xia Qing proposed a treatment plan, "Two plans: First, take it back to the southern wolf pack territory or the No. 7 territory for detailed examination and treatment; Second, try the special antidote I carry. Big Brother San said that this antidote can neutralize 95% of non-acid-synthetic evolutionary toxins, but the price is very high. Which one does Lao Si choose?"

The Blue Star is still evolving, and new toxins may appear at any time, launching new challenges to the immune system of organisms.

The X special antidote is a broad-spectrum toxin binding agent specially configured by Zhang San for Xia Qing to deal with unexpected situations.

Her idol numbered this antidote "X," following the numbering of the high-yi element spinach discovered in the No. 3 territory. The purpose is to let Xia Qing know which antidote to inject when she is weak after being poisoned, without having to use her brain.

Xia Qing didn't remember the specific principle of this antidote. In short, after this antidote enters the blood, it will actively adsorb and complex toxin molecules like a sponge, forming non-toxic large-molecule complexes, which are then metabolized and excreted by the kidneys or liver.

Why can it have such a magical effect?

Because the antidote contains three precious synthetic elements including recovery factors, as well as extracts of three precious medicinal herbs. Xia Qing didn't remember the efficacy of each element and extract, and in what proportion they were matched to maximize the efficacy, but she remembered that this antidote was expensive.

The old wolf, worth hundreds of millions, raised its paw and gestured a "2".

"Okay." Xia Qing took out the antidote skillfully and injected the X special antidote into the No. 2 jackal.
