Chapter 421: Python Ring

The capture of Jiang Xiong's squad members does have a little something to do with her, but the dogs really have nothing to do with it at all.

Xia Qing explained, "Jiang Xiong's squad thought there were evolved wolves in my territory. When they sent two people to invade my territory, they were caught by the dangerous inspection team guarding this area. As for the specific reasons the others were captured, I only heard it has something to do with using prohibited drugs."

Lord Huo Lei understood and asked about the python's size. "I participated in designing and making the protective gear for Jiang Xiong's squad's evolved dogs based on the military dog's protective suit. How big is the python you got this time? How many sets do you want to make?"

Xia Qing replied, "This python is fifteen meters long, with the thickest part over a meter in diameter. Except for the head and lower jaw, the skin on its body has no damage and can all be used. I want to make full sets of protective gear for six evolved dogs and one evolved sheep, plus make myself a snakeskin outfit. Do you think there's enough?"

Xia Qing already had enough protective gear, so she planned to use this python skin that could withstand ordinary gun bullets to make a bulletproof leather outfit.

"Enough." Lord Huo Lei laid out his terms. "I'll still use the best materials to make yours. Give me the leftover snake skin and the snake's spine bone to cover the processing and material fees."

"Deal." The snake bones weren't of much use to Xia Qing, but in Lord Huo Lei's hands they could definitely be processed into various tools, weapons, or accessories. "If you forge something usable for strength evolvers from the snake bones, save one for me too."

Lord Huo Lei got angry. "I'm not charging you for materials or processing fees, and you're already getting a huge bargain, yet you still want me to process weapons for you for free? Not a chance! Skin the snake and hand it over to Watching Huo Zhun. Have him soak it and send it to me right away."

Lord Huo Lei's tone was harsh, but after hanging up the phone he still sent Xia Qing a form that detailed the measurements needed for each part of the evolved dogs' bodies.

In the end, under the intimidation of the head wolf and the broken-waist wolf, the measurements of the black wolf and the broken-leg wolf siblings were successfully taken.

The first "evolved dog" was the head wolf. Xia Qing was a reputable middleman — since she took the commission, she would of course follow the client's requirements and custom-make a quality product.

Because it already fully trusted Xia Qing, she could do anything to it.

After measuring the wolves' sizes, the wolf pack caught a wild boar and started eating.

The sick wolf immediately walked up to Xia Qing and obediently let her measure the tape all over its body. Even when Xia Qing wrapped the tape around its neck, the sick wolf remained obedient.

After examining it carefully, Xia Qing took out the measuring tape from her backpack and beckoned her companion. "Wolf Lao Er, come here. I'll measure you — for making the python skin protective gear."

The head wolf stood up, stretched, then walked over to Xia Qing.

She was now considered a colleague of Kuang Qingwei, with only one difference: her customers weren't only humans, but also evolved wolves — and there were wealthy evolved wolves with Yishi mines at home, so the profits were quite impressive.

After measuring the sick wolf, Xia Qing believed the two brain-domain evolved wolves in front of her already understood what she was doing, and began calling the head wolf. "Your Majesty, may I take your measurements? Only with the right measurements can I make protective gear that fits."

"Your Majesty's fur is really thick and dense — it must be especially warm in winter, no need to wear clothes at all, so envious." Xia Qing measured while petting the wolf, then moved on to the broken-waist wolf.

When sending the data to Lord Huo Lei, Xia Qing specifically noted that the protective suit for the first evolved dog should be made from the best skin on the python.

By now the sun had come out, the mountain mist was beginning to dissipate, and the white frost on the ground was slowly melting. The temperature would soon rise above zero, so the python skin and python meat needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Xia Qing grabbed the python's tail, intending to drag it up the slope and bring it back to her territory for processing.

Holy— it's this heavy?

Xia Qing used both hands with force to drag the python from Wolf Valley up the slope, then called Beard Feng. "Captain Hu, can I now leave Mountain 49 Area 3 and return to Territory Three?"

Beard Feng gave an affirmative answer. "You can. The scout birds and surveillance personnel in Territory Two have been cleared out. Only two people remain monitoring in the northern wasteland grass wall of Territory Two, so don't make too much noise."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work."

After thanking him, Xia Qing coiled the giant python into a ring, tied it securely with rope, and attached two iron rings as handles. This kind of iron ring handle was an essential tool for strength evolvers to carry large heavy objects, and Xia Qing was quite skilled at using it.

After tying it up, Xia Qing jumped into the giant python ring, gripped the iron rings on both sides, pressed her tongue tip against her upper palate, and exerted force simultaneously with both hands, both arms, waist, and legs, steadily lifting the giant python weighing over a ton and walking outward.

The python was really too thick. After Xia Qing lifted the python ring up, she could only observe the path ahead through the gap propped open by a thirty-centimeter-long iron rod in the center of the python ring.

It was also because she had walked this road countless times — if it were an unfamiliar route, she definitely couldn't walk this steadily.

"Holy sh*t!"

Er Yong, who was guarding the northern isolation belt with a gun, had received the captain's walkie-talkie notification, but seeing a giant python with two thin legs "walking" out of the evolved forest still shocked him into cursing.

It wasn't just him — the other three members of Beard Feng's squad guarding the northern isolation belt were also stunned. They already knew the wolf pack had brought a python into Wolf Valley, but they hadn't expected it to be a giant python!

Even for them as main squad members of the Blue Dragon squad, this was the first time they had seen such a huge python with their own eyes.

This python probably weighed over a ton — the four of them together couldn't lift it. Xia Qing truly lived up to being a high-level strength evolver!

Xia Qing, with her limited field of vision, couldn't see her own security squad. She carried the python as steadily and quickly as possible through the northern isolation belt, stopped outside the north gate, and pressed the python coil to poke her head out.

The north gate's camera recognized Xia Qing and activated the gate.

Xia Qing immediately lifted the python ring and returned to Territory Three through the gate.

Fortunately, she had considered that the north gate was a key passage for transporting supplies and made the gate large enough. Otherwise, bringing such a huge python into the territory today would have required quite a bit of effort.

If it weren't for people in Territory Two monitoring the movements of Territory Three, Xia Qing would have preferred to just grab the python's head and drag it back. Its skin was hard enough anyway, so dragging it wouldn't wear it out.

Territory Two's actions had already seriously affected her life.

Xia Qing returned home, put the snake under the eaves where the sun couldn't reach, covered it with insect-proof netting. Then she found Sheep Boss, who was watching fish in the breeding greenhouse, measured it, filled in the form, and sent it to Lord Huo Lei.

Outside the safe zone, in the inner courtyard of the Huo Family Blade Shop. Lord Huo Lei, who was drinking compressed ration porridge, fell silent after seeing the evolved dog body data form Xia Qing had sent over.

Xia Qing's "evolved dogs" — even the smallest one was taller than the fiercest evolved dog in Jiang Xiong's squad... Were these evolved dogs or evolved wolves?

Lord Huo Lei downed the bad-tasting porridge in one gulp, picked up his phone, and tapped with his thick index finger to send his son a message.

In Territory Seven, Watching Huo Zhun, who was eating, picked up his phone and took a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

His dad actually told him to consider retiring directly and going to work with Xia Qing.

To do what? Farm?
