Qi Le

Seeing that Qi Le was interested in other areas, Dalia simply opened up the conversation, starting from her own territory, and introducing the information she had in detail to the areas she passed along the way.

"My original territory is close to the third district."

"The environment there is very harsh. Most of the population cannot adapt, and only a few kinds of exotic animals can survive. It is said that the mutant yak is the largest and most numerous one."

"Except for yaks, the most numerous people in the area are zombies."

Hearing this, Qi Le's ears immediately perked up, and he became more concentrated.

"The third area is very weird. It seems that there is an invisible barrier that forcibly isolates the population inside from the outside world."

"The zombies and alien beasts in the area cannot come out, and the farthest can only reach the border."

"My ancestors have been living on the border of the third district, dating back as far as before the catastrophe." Dalia lay on the fur, and when talking to Qi Le, his eyes would always move to the little lynx not far away.

"It is said that the situation at that time was not like this. A few years after the catastrophe, the first batch of evolved zombies killed each other, and the number dropped sharply. Suddenly, the third district began to be isolated from the world."

Dalia frowned as she spoke.

"Because the time is too far away, I can't guarantee whether all these rumors are true. But there is one thing, the barrier in the third area must exist. If not, the zombies and strange beasts inside cannot come out."

When Dalia was not a mother, she had seen corpses gather.

Overwhelming, black masses gathered to the border, roaring and waving their arms, but they were still unable to move forward, they could only squeeze together in one place, forming an astonishing number of corpses, and it took half a month to disperse one after another.

Only then did Dalia know that there were actually so many zombies in the third district.

After the zombies dispersed, a large number of bones of strange animals were left on the open short grass, including mutant yaks and mutant marmots living underground.They were chased by the corpses all the way, panicked, stuck at the border and had no way to escape, and finally became the belly of the corpses.

In fact, zombies are also the prey of strange beasts, especially mutant yaks. In a single fight, advanced zombies are not opponents.

However, there were too many zombies, and the tide surged up, and the strange beasts were finally submerged in the tide of corpses, unable to resist at all.

"The tide of corpses is terrible. If there is no barrier to stop and let the corpses come out, the native species and alien beasts near the border will suffer."

Qi Le has personally experienced how terrifying the tide of corpses can be.Even if you haven't been to the third district, just listening to Dalia's story, you can't help but shudder.

Seemingly feeling that this topic was too heavy, Dalia put up his front legs, quickly ended his narration of the third district, and turned to the fourth district.

"There are large grasslands and forests there, and there are many species, especially the unimaginable number of exotic animals." Thinking of what he saw in the area, Dalia couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

If there was a space device at that time, we could catch a few more heads.

"There are also a lot of mutated plants." Dalia continued, "I didn't count them in detail. If I make a rough estimate, there are no less than a hundred kinds of vines and mutated grasses that can pose a threat to me."

"Is it close to the eighth district?" Qi Le asked.

If the distance is not far, you can drive a spaceship to explore, collect samples of different plants, add bricks and tiles to the squirrel plantation, and provide more materials for the raptors to develop medicines.

"It's not that close." Dalia shook his head, "There is still the fifth district in the middle."

"Fifth District?"

"Yes."

Dalia thought for a while, popped out the tip of the claw, sketched on the ground, and listed the approximate arrangement of several regions

"This is the third area, and this is my territory." Dalia tapped his paw and drew an irregular area, "This is the fourth area. There are two big rivers in the area, and the eastern border is close to the ocean. There is a large area near the sea. islands."

According to Dalia's estimate, there are likely to be strange beasts living on the island.

It's just that time is running out, and she is too busy on her way to explore.

"Passing through the fourth area is the fifth area." Dalia patted his paw, "There are only rare plants here, most of which are deserts. Under the desert are buried the buildings left by the original humans before the catastrophe. When the wind passes by, the yellow sand on the surface is swept away, and you can still see it clearly."

Qi Le picked up his front paws, looked at the crude map, and gradually frowned.

The buildings left by the original humans?

"Are there many buildings?"

"I'm not sure." Dalia said, "But according to rumors, similar buildings abound when the yellow sand is dug up, and many of them are used as nests by desert spider wasps and arthropods."

The fifth area looks desolate, with large areas of yellow sand and no oasis, unable to provide everything that species need to survive.

However, native camels often go deep into this area to look for arthropods under the sand, and return with a full load every time.

According to them, what is buried under the yellow sand is not a few scattered buildings, but a city.A large number of arthropods live in the city, there are also mutated snakes and lizards, and even mutated amphibians, which can be described as full of vitality.

"The camels said that there is an underground river in the center of the desert." Dalia said, "It's just that no other species has seen it so far."

The reason is simple. Except for native camels, no species can go without water for a month while traveling at an alarming speed.

Alien races have discovered it, but before the base was established in Siyaer, the alliance only regarded Blue Star as a hunting ground, and did not care about other issues at all except for the area where species gathered.

Qi Le nodded, his mind began to spin rapidly.

In his view, the fifth district is likely to be the battlefield of native humans.

Large-scale use of thermal weapons, destroying ecosystems.With the occurrence of the catastrophe, a large number of native humans turned into zombies, and the environment cannot be managed, so it can only continue to be barren.

Only in this way can it be explained why there is a city buried under the sand.

When the lynx girl was talking to the cat dad, the crystal nuclei eaten by the little lynx started to play a role. She was so energetic that she couldn't sit down and played paw paw games with the kitten.

Ash found it interesting and was invited to join in.

The three furballs surround each other, stretching out their front paws in turn.

When it was Madoka's turn, she stretched out her furry paws, and the tufts at the tips of her ears stood up straight.The kitten concentrated its attention, raised its paws, and quickly fell down.

The kitten has the true biography of the cat's father, and the Shadowless Claw makes it superb, and has always had the upper hand in the game.This time it failed to hit the shot, the paw pad fell on the soft animal skin and sank instantly without making any sound.

"Meow~ho?"

The kitten tilted its head, and realized that it was in the wrong place, and turned its ears in confusion.

The little lynx was surprised, looking at his paws, they were still in their original positions!

"Yuan!" Realizing what happened, Ash excitedly said, "Try again!"

"Ah?" The little lynx raised its head with doubts on its face.

"Put the paws here." Ash patted the exotic animal skin, where the kitten's paws fell before.

Although Ah Yuan was a little strange, he followed his elder brother's words and moved his paw over.

"I want to hide it." Ash continued, "Qining, try to take another shot."

"hide?"

"Shoot again?"

The little lynx and the kitten looked at each other with question marks on their heads and big round eyes, very puzzled.

"Yes." Ash taught the little lynx, "You have to try to hide your paws so that no one else can see them."

The little lynx nodded, following what his brother said, repeating in his mind: hide, he wants to hide.

"Meow~ roar!"

The kitten raised its paw and quickly fell down.The result was the same as last time, and it was still empty.

The little lynx's paw was clearly on the left, but he patted it to the right!

"Yuan, this is talent!" Ash hugged his younger brother excitedly, "You finally have talent!"

Dalia had already noticed the change here, got up and walked over, seeing the little lynx using his talent, couldn't restrain his excitement, hugged the little lynx into his arms, and licked his ears.

"Mom, Ah Yuan's talent seems to be a bit different." Ash said.

As long as there is shade, the lynx can hide and play a great role in avoiding danger and hunting.

Ah Yuan's talent is more like confusion, which is different from Dalia and Ash.

"There are indeed some differences." Dalia let the little lynx try it a few more times to confirm that Ash's feeling is very accurate.

"His talent is also a hidden one. Maybe it's a variant?" Dalia wasn't sure.

Thinking about it carefully, both her and Ash's talents were self-stimulated and acquired shortly after they came out, but Ah Yuan relied on the crystal nucleus. To further consolidate and strengthen it, a lot of potions are needed.

It is not surprising that there is a difference.

Adding Yuan's father added more variables.

Thinking of this, Dalia frowned.

It was a strange male lynx, extremely weak, but able to survive independently.He always dealt with mutated plants, God knows what strange things he ate, which affected Ah Yuan's genes.

The more Dalia thought about it, the uglier his face became, and he made up his mind that the next time we meet, he will definitely punish that guy again!

The little lynx started to get sleepy after using it several times in a row just after its talent was aroused, its little head bit by bit, and it yawned lazily.

"Mom, I'm sleepy..." Leaning in the arms of the female lynx, the little lynx rested its chin on its front legs, its eyelids getting heavier and heavier.I wanted to hold on, but I couldn't hold on no matter what, and I started snoring after a while.

The kitten tilted its head, remembering how he was eating the crystal nucleus, and obediently walked to Qi Le's side, and ran down by him, never being mischievous again.

Tai Sui on his back opened his black bean eyes, his tentacles stretched forward, and tapped behind the kitten's ears.

Without looking back, the kitten raised its paw and patted it, then opened the space button, took out a piece of sea prawn meat, tore off half and handed it to Tai Sui, and divided the rest into two pieces, handed one piece to Ash, and ate the other piece himself.

Dalia licked the little lynx's ears, looked at Qi Le, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"You don't have to be so polite." Qi Le shook his head quickly.

The crystal nucleus and potion are not free, Dalia paid for it.

"It's not being polite." Dalia motioned Ash to lean beside him, and said in a deep voice, "You don't know how important this is to me."

Dalia took a deep breath and continued: "Pink crystal nuclei are very precious. If they are replaced by other species, even if they are available, they may not be willing to trade them to me. There are also advanced potions. Without you, I would not be able to get them at all." It can be bought, and it will inevitably cost sky-high prices.

Dalia sincerely thanked her without any falsehood.

The only thing Qi Le can do is to accept this thank you.At the same time, I made up my mind that in the future, if I have the opportunity, I must help this single mother more.

Although Blue Star's girl and hot mom are very strong, apart from providing medicine, he may not be able to help much.But there is no absolute, it all depends on whether there is a heart.

After the kitten finished eating the shrimp meat, it licked its paws clean. When it saw the little lynx lying in Dalia's arms, it rubbed Qi Le's chin coquettishly.

Qi Le started to lick the kitten's fur, licking and licking, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the kitten's other talents except for disguising itself as a raccoon.

"Native tigers have a unique talent." Dalia said, "As far as I know, they can change their disguise when they are young, and they can easily control flames when they are adults."

flame?

Qi Le blinked.

"Isn't that the same as a squirrel?"

"Of course it's different!" Dalia was shocked, and couldn't believe that he would make such a common-sense mistake after raising the tiger cub to such a large age.

"The cub beside you is old enough and should be able to use his talent. You can let him have a try."

Qi Le was curious, and Qi Ning became eager to try.

"Dad, do you want to watch?"

"it is good."

"It won't work in a hole," Dalia reminded.

The original tiger's fire was terrible, it burned down the cave, where would she live with her child?

The father and son walked out of the cave and found a slightly open grassland.

The kitten took a deep breath, raised its front paw and waved it twice, a small ball of flames emerged in the air, the center was a piece of blue, and the temperature was astonishingly high.

The kitten waved its paw again, and the flame turned into a fireball, which was as big as two palms.

The flames danced, as if they were alive.

The kitten looked around, seeming to be looking for a suitable target.Tai Sui hung on the kitten's back, tapped the kitten's head with its tentacles, and pointed to the rock not far away.

The kitten swung its paw immediately and smashed the fireball over.

The flames spread rapidly, enveloping the rock, and burning blazingly.

In the scorching heat, the hard stones shattered and melted, turning into a pile of ashes before Qi Le's eyes.

Surprisingly, except for a piece of tall grass near the rock, the rest of the trees and plants were not damaged in any way, and even sparks were not splashed.

The flames attracted mutated moths, and after a while, a burnt smell wafted through the air.

A few native hedgehogs crawled out of the forest, dragging the hard thigh bones of exotic animals behind them.Come up close and throw the bone into the ashes.

The bones are roasted crispy with the residual heat of the ashes.

The native hedgehog took off the large leaves it carried on its back, wrapped the bones, and began to gnaw happily.

Seeing this scene, Father Cat couldn't help shaking his beard.

what is this?

Self-service BBQ?

The kitten was very dissatisfied and growled loudly at the native hedgehog.

The hedgehog froze for a moment, not feeling scared, and rustled across the grass, and put the two bones in front of the kitten.

"This is the leg bone of a rhinoceros. It is delicious. It can increase physical strength."

The kitten was stunned, and the cat father couldn't help laughing.

Hedgehog looked at the pair of father and son, a little strange combination of raccoon raccoon and tiger cub.But for them, this is not a question that must be figured out, and there is no conflict with what to do next.

The leading hedgehog straightened up, clasped its front paws together, and said, "If possible, can I ask you to burn another stone?"

The kitten looked down at the bone, twitched its nose, faced the expectant gaze of the hedgehog, finally swung its paw again, and burned another rock into ashes.

The hedgehogs cheered and thanked the kitten repeatedly.

Soon, more thorn balls poured out of the forest, and the embers around the fire began to roast bones.Some even brought a whole alien beast and disassembled it on the spot, and most of the meat was given to the cat father and kittens.

The craftsmanship of hedgehog barbecue is very good, and they know how to use seasoning.The kittens eat a few pieces in a row, and don't mind setting two more fires. While training their talents, it is convenient for hedgehogs to group barbecue.

The staple food of native hedgehogs is bones, and they cannot do without three meals a day.In contrast, exotic animal meat can only be regarded as a snack, dispensable.

With their teeth, unusual beasts can chew like candy.

Not so with the rhinoceros.

If you want to eat the bones of this strange beast, you have to wait for the lightning to strike and burn the "sky fire" to crisp the outer layer.If you speak recklessly, you can lose all your fangs.

It is by no means so easy to find flames in the rainy season.

The hedgehogs wandered in the forest, chasing the lightning to find the flames, but they failed to find anything for several days.When the kitten showed its talent, it didn't care too much, and rushed forward dragging its bones.

The bones of rhinoceros are really important to them, if they can't eat them, the whole group will become weak.Especially newborn cubs, without the necessary nutrition and energy, will die soon.

While the hedgehogs were grilling, Qi Le coughed and said, "Son, can you control the burning range of the flame?"

"Yes." The kitten nodded, "I'm still young, and my ability is not too strong. When I grow up, I can change the temperature of the flame at will, control the flame to wrap around any object, and never cause accidental injury."

With a better understanding of the kitten's talent, Qi Le finally understood why Dalia looked at him in shock, thinking that he had no basic common sense.

When the father and son were talking, the sky began to rain lightly, and in a blink of an eye, the rain became pouring.

The hedgehogs put away the roasted bones, thanked the kitten again, and prepared to return to the woods.

"Wait." The cat father stopped the hedgehog, and handed out some common medicines, "These medicines are for you, which can help the cubs strengthen their physique. I live in the eleventh district. If you feel good, you can come to the eleventh district." Find me."

The hedgehogs took the medicine, left all the barbecue, nodded to the cat father, and walked into the forest one after another.

Qi Le ran back to the cave with the kitten, licked the kitten's fur, and said to Dalia who was lying not far away: "It's getting late, I want to go back to the territory as soon as possible."

Dalia nodded.

"I'm very interested in the third district." Qi Le continued, "If possible, I hope to visit you again."

"Okay." Dalia readily agreed, "I will settle in the eighth district, and you can come over at any time. If I'm not here, you can ask Ash. He also knows a lot about zombies."

Qi Le opened the space button, and took out two pieces of exotic animal meat, three sea prawns, and a whole metal plate.

"This is an alien beast, the taste is very good."

"Sea shrimp can be given to cubs."

"The metal plate can be used to block the opening of the hole." The cat father demonstrated by himself, explaining how to place the metal plate, "When I lived in the territory of the squirrel, it was like this to block the cold wind and rain."

"Thank you."

Dalia accepted the food and the metal plate, and gave Qi Le a piece of soft elephant skin in return.

After receiving the return gift, the cat father took the kitten to say goodbye to the lynx mother and child, boarded the aircraft, and quickly disappeared in the torrential rain.

The cave returned to silence, only the snoring of the little lynx sounded regularly, accompanied by the sound of rain outside the cave, making people fall asleep.

Dalia didn't feel sleepy at all.

The problem that had been worrying for a long time was suddenly solved, and she felt unreal.Looking at the little lynx lying in her arms, she even had an urge to wake her son up and let him use his talents to make sure that she was not dreaming.

Ash yawned and said, "Mom, are all lihua like this?"

"As far as I know, no." Dalia looked at the eldest son, "I haven't seen other raccoons, but I have seen a black cat, she is very different from Qi Le."

More than just different.

Apart from the appearance, in terms of personality, it looks like two kinds of creatures.

"Black cat?" Ash tilted his head, "I don't know."

"Of course you don't know." Dalia smiled. "When I was your age, that black cat passed by my mother's territory. She has a withdrawn personality and doesn't like contact with other species. But she is very strong, My mother warned me that when encountering such a small native species that walks alone, I am not sure, and it is best not to provoke it lightly."

The harsher the conditions, the more tenacious life can be born.

Dalia's territory is close to the border of the third area, and there are not many exotic animals to hunt.In difficult years, it is very difficult for lynx to survive, and they have to form a group to cooperate in hunting and protecting their cubs.

A smaller black cat was able to survive the danger, either because of a miracle or luck, or because it has extremely strong strength and can resist all threats.

Ash listened intently, pictured the appearance of the black cat in his mind, compared with Qi Le who had just left, the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning.

It's really like what my mother said, it's two kinds of creatures!

"He seems to be very interested in zombies." The lynx boy said.

"It's not like, but it is." Dalia tightened his paws and pulled the little lynx into his arms. "I don't know the reason, but we owe him favors. As long as he wants to know, I will tell him. If I don't If you know, you can bring news to the tribe and ask them for help. Also, tell them about the medicine."

"Send news to the clansmen?" Ash snorted, obviously a little dissatisfied, "They won't help Yuan, why tell them about the medicine!"

"Ash." Dalia's voice became low. "Ah Yuan's situation, they couldn't help if they wanted to. Besides, they took care of you and A Yuan when I was out hunting."

The lynx boy lowered his head, and there was a cry in his voice: "But they look down on A Yuan, saying that A Yuan can't live independently, and that he will die soon."

Every time he heard these words, Ash couldn't suppress his anger, roared and rushed forward, using his claws to shut up the other party.Even if he can't beat him, he will not allow others to despise his brother.

Knowing that Yuan's situation is difficult to change, he even made up his mind to wait for Yuan to grow up and take him to find a territory and live together.

Now that Ah Yuan has a talent, he is happy from the bottom of his heart, Ah Yuan is definitely not as useless as others say!

Hearing that his mother wanted to contact the tribe, he instinctively resisted.

He knew there were good and bad among the Clan, and most cared about the cubs.But he just couldn't think about it, couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"Ash, come here."

Dalia patted her side and motioned for her son to come over.

The lynx boy sniffed, lay down next to his brother, and leaned against his mother's arms.

Dalia didn't speak, but lowered her head and licked Ash's ear.The lynx boy purred, forgetting all his troubles, retracted his paws, and fell asleep with his brother.

Looking at the two sleeping brothers, Dalia sighed softly, rubbed the top of his son's head, and listened to the sound of rain outside the cave, falling into deep thought for a long time.

After Qi Le returned to the territory, he happened to meet Morpho who came to change the potion.

Because there were too many goods traded, time was delayed, and Morpho had to go back at night.

"It's better to stay for one day." Dad Cat suggested.

"Stay?" The morpho butterflies looked at each other, a little uncertain.

"Many houses are still vacant." Qi Le pointed to the buildings on the ground, and said to Morpho, "You can borrow them, and if you think it's suitable, you can rent another one."

"Rent?" At first hearing the unfamiliar words, all the Morpho butterflies froze for a moment.

"I plan to open a market here. No matter which species, promise not to pose a threat to others, and not cause trouble for no reason, you can bring goods to the market for trading." Qi Le said, "Rent a building, and you can open a shop .”

"Open a shop?" Morpho felt that his brain was not enough.

Didn't you say it was about borrowing?

How could it be involved in the store?

"For example, you can collect the exotic plants in the ninth district and sell them here. As far as I know, the birds of prey are very interested in mutant plants, and those alien races are also willing to spend a lot of money."

Seeing Morpho fluttering its wings, it was obvious that he was interested. Dad Cat continued to work hard, and continued: "There are shops in the market, and several clansmen can stay here to get the latest news and buy new medicines."

"There are plenty of potions. Apart from using them yourself, you can also bring them back to the Ninth District for sale."

"Presumably you all know how much Squirrel and Black Spider have made through the transactions between the eighth district and the eleventh district."

Listening to the scene described by Cat Dad, Morpho Butterfly's eyes lit up.

Hearing the roughly estimated profit of the cat dad again, he flapped his wings faster, and the firefly powder fluttered, and he made a decision on the spot: This business is done, they rented the house!

The cat dad picked up his paws, and after finalizing the contract, the squirrel took Morpho to choose a house.

Evolved from Erdao businessman to Charterer, he can already anticipate the great "Qianjing", he can't help shaking his beard and smiling his eyes.
