Chapter 748: Today's Task: Defeat the Little Crocodile

When novice Xia Qing handed the steering wheel to veteran driver Yan Long, the Beast Generation IV combat vehicle roared and rushed out, arriving at the "parking lot" at the foot of the third peak of Mountain No. 50, near the high-danger zone, in less than fifteen minutes.

When the Beast Generation IV turned off and stopped trembling, Xia Qing's heart, which hadn't caught up, and Tan Qi's happy scream still echoed in her ears.

When Yan Long got out of the car, there was also a sparkle in her eyes. "Yue Haiying is very reliable; you spent these 30,000 points very worthily."

Sister, it's not 30,000, it's 360,000, but I feel like you scraped off 20,000 from my car along the way... After Xia Qing got out of the car and touched the car body that had been scraped several times, she found that only a little paint had fallen off, so her heart fell back into her stomach. She asked the members of the Qinglong Battle Team who were protecting the red Qi-grass planting field in the high-danger zone to watch the car for her.

"Form up!" In the blink of an eye, Yan Long turned into an iron-blooded instructor. "Full speed to the training ground!"

"Yes!" Xia Qing and Tan Qi responded loudly in unison and set off at full speed following Yan Long.

After the three ran far away, the two Qinglong Battle Team members looked at each other and circled Xia Qing's broken car bought for 30,000 with excitement.

Now it was a drill, not a team mission. The instructor said to advance at full speed, so no one had to take care of anyone. Xia Qing and Tan Qi both exerted their fastest speed to run.

After years of life-risking training, Yan Long had already raised her running speed to the highest level that non-speed evolutionaries could reach—level five.

High-evolutionary Xia Qing had also been working hard. Her current running speed was close to level four and a half.

In the past six months, Tan Qi had taken in sufficient nutrition from natural food, and her speed evolution level had risen from level three and a half to level four.

Therefore, Yan Long ran the fastest and led the way in front, with Xia Qing in second place. But thirty minutes later, Tan Qi overtook Xia Qing and reached second place.

This was the advantage of ability evolution.

Tan Qi was a speed evolutionary, and running fast consumed less physical strength for her than Xia Qing. Therefore, after Xia Qing's physical strength dropped, Tan Qi could still maintain her original speed.

Similarly, if carrying the same weight of materials on the road, the physical strength Xia Qing consumed was less than that of a non-strength evolutionary who had improved her load-bearing capacity after professional training, so she could walk further.

After being overtaken by Tan Qi, Xia Qing, whose speed had obviously dropped, was still rushing forward with all her might because Yan Long hadn't shouted to stop.

After running to today's special training location in one breath, Yan Long stopped, panted slightly, shouted to stop through the walkie-talkie, and then turned around, accelerated, and rushed toward Tan Qi not far away.

After kicking the panting Tan Qi away with three moves, Yan Long rushed toward the tail-end Xia Qing, her long legs turning into spears, kicking toward her chest.

Xia Qing quickly dodged sideways and punched Yan Long.

Yan Long retracted her leg to dodge Xia Qing's heavy punch, and her left fist hit Xia Qing's neck with full force. Her movements were fast, but Xia Qing's reaction speed was not slow either.

Xia Qing lowered her body to dodge, stretched her leg, and kicked toward Yan Long's heart.

After more than twenty moves, Yan Long knocked Xia Qing down and praised, "Reaction speed improved, and the moves are also more proficient. Who have you been practicing with during this time?"

Farming hard and fighting hard to improve her combat power was what she did every day. Xia Qing smiled happily. "Most of the time, I practice with Hu Zifeng and his team member Peng Jian. When Tang Zhou was stationed on Mountain No. 49, I often went to find him to practice, and Luo Ge also guided me several times when he came back."

Besides Hu Zifeng and Peng Jian, the other eight people in Hu Zifeng's team were no longer Xia Qing's opponents. Although Hu Zifeng was the first in his team, in terms of fighting, he couldn't rank in the top ten of the Qinglong Battle Team.

Tang Zhou was the fourth-ranked combat power in the Qinglong Battle Team. Xia Qing couldn't pass twenty moves in front of him, and in front of Luo Pei, the third-ranked combat power, she couldn't pass ten moves.

However, in the constant beating, Xia Qing explored fighting techniques suitable for herself. Her speed and jumping ability were not strong, but she had great strength and strong visual capture ability. As long as she was calm enough and successfully predicted the opponent's moves, she could seize the opportunity and effectively attack the opponent.

Yan Long nodded. "If I compare fighting with Tang Zhou, who can win?"

Xia Qing evaluated truthfully, "Tang Zhou has a better chance of winning."

Yan Long's strength was water warfare, not land warfare.

Tang Zhou, huh, very good.

Yan Long turned around and led Xia Qing and Tan Qi to today's special training venue—the lake in Mountain No. 52.

"Achoo!"

Deep in the southern Evolution Forest of Hui No. 9 base, Tang Zhou suddenly sneezed and felt a chill on the back of his neck. This feeling was very bad. Tang Zhou immediately issued a warning through the walkie-talkie, "Boss, there might be danger here."

Yang Jin immediately ordered, "Everyone on alert, release the tamed birds."

Beside the lake in Mountain No. 52, Xia Qing changed into a diving suit, sucked a special-grade nutrient solution, pulled open the zipper, walked out of the tent, and looked at the evolutionary crocodile that was lying in the grass by the lake with its big mouth open yawning. Her heart felt very bad.

This lake was located in the middle of the Mountain No. 52 area, and the mountain road on the hillside beside the lake was the passage for the wolf pack to travel between Territory No. 3 and Mountain No. 60. So Xia Qing had walked this road several times, and she named it "Crocodile Pool."

Because once, Xia Qing saw a crocodile more than ten meters long gliding in the lake...

Besides the giant crocodile more than ten meters long, there were many crocodiles here, which was one of the areas Xia Qing didn't want to approach.

Of course, with Xia Qing's marksmanship, shooting and killing crocodiles was easy, but the crocodiles here couldn't be shot and killed. Because giant crocodiles, giant pythons, evolutionary wolves, and evolutionary bears could check and balance each other.

If she killed the giant crocodile today, maybe tomorrow the giant python would bring Qi-snakes to occupy this lake.

Even if the giant python didn't come, the lack of the giant crocodile, this top predator, would destroy the ecological balance nearby, which would also trigger a series of bad consequences.

After Tan Qi also changed into a diving suit and came out, she also stared straight at the crocodile.

"Crocodiles, pythons, giant catfish, and giant lizards are the large creatures in this water area that will actively attack humans. You have already fought the giant catfish and giant lizards, so I won't repeat the introduction..."

A while ago, Xia Qing and Tan Qi not only learned swimming, breath-holding, and diving in the reservoir of Territory No. 3, but also fought with the giant catfish and giant lizards with full mouths of teeth that Yan Long carried back, learning water warfare skills. These two types of animals were no longer their opponents in the water.

After Yan Long introduced the habits and attack methods of crocodiles and pythons, she pointed to the crocodile that was staring at them with big earthy-yellow eyes. "Crocodiles that have already been exposed like this are the easiest to deal with. Because you know its position, you can take precautions in advance."

Tan Qi raised her hand. "In the water, the most difficult to deal with are those creatures that swim very fast and suddenly appear and attack from any direction—up, down, left, right, front, or back."

Yan Long nodded. "Very correct."

Tan Qi smiled happily, and her eyes behind the diving suit mask bent.

Xia Qing nodded along. She also remembered these essentials, but she wasn't a child, so she wouldn't raise her hand to speak.

Then, Yan Long began on-site teaching, telling the two students how to use the ripples on the water surface and the movement in the water to judge the number and size of aquatic creatures in the shallow water layer, as well as how to roughly detect water depth without professional equipment.

After the explanation, it was time to go into the water.

Yan Long pointed to the crocodile that was staring at them with two big eyeballs. "Today's training content for you two is to defeat the little crocodile in the water. Watch how I do it first."

After speaking, Yan Long put on the protective mask of the diving suit and slid into the water like a fish, swimming toward the middle.

When the little crocodile in the grass turned its eyes and looked at Yan Long, Xia Qing and Tan Qi held their breath at the same time. Seeing that crocodile turn and swing its tail, swimming toward Yan Long quickly, Tan Qi's eyes widened instantly, while Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Only four meters long, it really counted as a little crocodile.

Where were the giant crocodiles here? Where did Yan Long put them? That crocodile looked stupid, but it swam very fast in the water, and its body was also very flexible. It quickly caught up with Yan Long and opened its big mouth. ===== CHAPTER 749 =====

The little crocodile looks clumsy, but its swimming speed in the water is very fast, and its body is also very agile; it quickly caught up to Xiang Yanlong and opened its large mouth.
