Qi Le

After leaving the fourth district, Arya negotiated with the black cat to bypass the border of the sixth district to avoid the buffalo herd there and find some food by the way.

"I know there is an unowned territory nearby, maybe we can find something to eat there." Arya said, "If there is none, we can temporarily enter the territory of the horses. I have a crystal nucleus, and I can trade exotic beasts with them .”

Daliato's black horse sent a message, not forgetting to tell Arya how to get food along the way.

It may not necessarily be able to fill the stomach, at least it can ensure that she and the cub have enough physical strength so that they will not stop halfway and cannot continue to move forward.

Black Cat didn't object.

If it wasn't for the cubs, the two of them wouldn't have to be so troublesome, and they could pass through the sixth district.With the hidden talent of lynx, coupled with her speed, the native buffalo can't catch up at all.

Even if it is hunting exotic animals, it is easy to catch.

The reality is that the two cubs limit their speed, and she doesn't want to break the rules too much and cause dissatisfaction from other groups.

After some consideration, the black cat accepted Arya's proposal and explored the way ahead first.No sign of the buffalo herd was found, so he flicked his tail and called the lynx to move forward with its cubs.

"Guna."

After advancing for a certain distance, Arya called the black cat to stop, raised her front paw, pointed to a piece of tall grass in front of her left, and said, "There should be a nest of mutant rabbits in that piece of tall grass."

Lynx's sense of smell is very keen, and the difficult living environment forces them to constantly hone their hunting skills to ensure that they can catch enough prey and not starve to death.

Especially female lynx, in addition to supporting themselves, they also need to support their children.

Their hunting skills far surpass those of male lynxes. Footsteps, smells, noises, and a few hairs can all help them locate their prey.

The hot wind of the dry season hits head-on, blowing Arya's hair and bringing the scent of prey.

She managed to capture it even though it was quite weak.

"Front?"

The black cat leaned down and sneaked into the grass with the advantage of its size.

However, in the grasslands during the dry season, her fur is too conspicuous.

Almost instantly, there was a sharp cry from the depths of the grass, and then, more than 20 small animals covered with gray fur and with curved horns shot out like lightning, and fled in all directions.

When encountering a difficult predator, this is the most common way for mutant rabbits to escape.

Relying on the advantage of numbers and running in different directions, hunters can only lock on a few targets, and the rest can escape.

Unfortunately, this time they met lynx and black cat.

Arya gave up hiding, jumped forward, and used her speed to the limit, completely clawing one by one, knocking the prey unconscious on the ground.With the help of their talents, the two little lynxes hid in the shadows, waiting for the prey to rush forward and knocked down one together.

The way of the black cat Guna is more simple and rude.

She didn't even chase after the prey, but after the prey escaped from the hiding place, she raised her front paw and waved it. The surrounding hot wind suddenly gathered, wrapping the fleeing mutant rabbits in it, rolling them into the air one after another, and none of them escaped.

It took less than 5 minutes from the discovery of the prey to the successful roundup.

The lynx mother and son caught a total of five, and the rest were black cat's trophies.

"Get out of here first." Guna changed her shape, searched for tough vines and tall grass, tied up her prey, and carried them all on her back. "Movement may attract other predators, so be careful."

Arya nodded, and also changed her form, following Guna's example, and tied up her prey.Not on the back, but all wrapped around the waist.Then, with both hands, he put the bigger cub on his shoulders, told her to hold on to it, held the smaller cub in his arms, followed Guna, crossed the tall grass at the fastest speed, looked for a hiding place, and enjoyed the meal good meal.

Black Cat was right to be concerned.

Not long after the group left, a small herd of buffalo appeared on the border, and a male buffalo sniffed around and let out a dull roar.

"The lynx has been here." The bull buffalo said, "It has another smell, very similar to the native cats I met in District [-]."

"That native cat came to District Six?" said another male buffalo.

"The smell is similar, but I'm sure it's not the raccoon."

The buffaloes were rarely curious and followed the smell. Unfortunately, after walking more than 200 meters, the smell suddenly disappeared.After searching for a while, there was still no progress, but the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the front was the territory of other native species. I didn't want unnecessary conflicts, so I had to give up the search.

The native species living in the sixth district are relatively irritable, and it is normal for them to fight if they disagree.Like the dark horse Isaac, it is really rare to get along well with most species.

Arya and the black cat hid in the tree hole, enjoying the mutant rabbit while planning the next trip.

Qi Le, who was far away in District [-], had no idea that he would welcome his first fellow, and was happily leading the turtles through the market, introducing him to the shops opened by the natives.

Before the fire ants said that someone was visiting, Qi Le thought about many possibilities, but he didn't expect that it would be Ethan.

For the convenience of action, Ethan turned into a humanoid form, and brought a few mutated grasses with a strong smell to hide his unique aura.

In this way, even if they pass each other in a crowded market, few native species will notice that the young people walking beside them are not terrestrial species at all, and they will not be curious. less trouble.

Thinking of seeing Ethan at the entrance of the market, Father Cat couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Unlike the explosive muscles of whales, Ethan's physique tends to be slender, his movements are unhurried, and his temperament is unexpectedly gentle.

Perhaps it is due to nature, when not hunting, Ethan's every move is not aggressive, and when he has a smile on his face, it will give people a sense of spring breeze.

His facial features can only be regarded as correct. Looking at it separately, it is ordinary and there is nothing outstanding.Combined together, it will make people feel comfortable and always want to look at it more.

If I use one word to describe it, it is "good-looking".

Seeing Qi Le, Ethan first bent down, the height was not suitable.After thinking about it, he simply sat on the ground.Although there is still a big difference in altitude, at least it won't make Qi Le look up so much that he almost does somersaults.

"I've wanted to see it for a long time."

Like the killer whale, Ethan's clothes are simple in style, mainly for the convenience of movement.The lower body is a pair of dark trousers, covering the two long legs, and the upper body is a racerback vest, revealing broad shoulders and strong arms.

Over the vest is a shirt in a transparent color.

Qi Le stared at it for a while, then couldn't help tilting his head, and touched his nose with his paw.

The temperament of a scholar, but such a dress does not feel unsuitable at all.

What can I say?

Color is justice?

The cat dad looks at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and this is probably the only explanation.

Ethan came to visit, and as a friend, Qi Le naturally wanted to show him around the market as a landlord.

Ethan is very generous. Every time he walks into a store and encounters a product he likes, he will buy it on the spot.When paying the crystal core, he didn't blink, and he showed the characteristics of "ocean and soil trench" in a serious manner.

When the seller discovered the difference in the crystal nuclei and realized that the person he just did business with was probably a marine native species, the two of them had already walked away and entered the next shop.

Soon, Qi Le took Ethan into the raptor's shop.

The barn owl has a long-term business with sea snakes, has made numerous trips to sea, and is no stranger to sea turtles.It can be seen that Ethan appeared in front of him, but he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

No wonder the barn owl reacted this way.

No one could have imagined that the turtles in the eighth district would land in the dry season, and even cross two districts to come to the market in the eleventh district.

However, since the two parties know each other, they must give some preferential treatment when doing business.

Ethan didn't care about the crystal nucleus, and threw a lot of it outward.

For him, these piles in the sea are also sand, which is of no use.To trade exotic animal meat and potions, it's like picking it up for nothing.

But the barn owl was very persistent, not to mention the preferential price, and even gave the other party a newly caught mutant antelope.

"The mutant gazelles are very timid. They always follow other herds and migrate between the districts all year round. They will show up in the eleventh district, which proves that a large group of mutant wildebeest is nearby."

The barn owl grabbed a small prey with three rows of curved horns on its head, and said, "When the mutant wildebeest passes by, there will be more animals to choose from. I suggest you stay for a few more days and catch more before returning territory."

"I will consider."

Ethan put away the beast, and walked out of the shop with Qi Le.

The cat dad flicked his tail, thinking that asking Ethan to stay for a few more days was indeed a good idea.

Putting aside the matter of rounding up the mutant wildebeest, he was planning to go to the base recently to trade more potions and aircraft.

If Ethan is willing to go with him, he can take a walk to the airport in person and witness with his own eyes how the aliens in the base act differently under the jurisdiction of Xial.

When he returns to sea and spreads the news, the marine native species will have a more intuitive impression.

At least let everyone understand that the alien races in the base are very different from those who went to the blue star to hunt.These alien races can communicate, do business, and even unite to fight against incoming enemies.

In Qi Le's view, if Blue Star wants to develop, it cannot avoid dealing with the outside world, and the base is an indispensable part.

Try to get in touch with each other, so as to avoid staring at each other, and tense eyes when they meet.Only in this way can we have further cooperation.

So, communication is very important.

After walking out of the shop, Qi Le organized his words and told Ethan his plan.

The turtle pondered for a moment and said, "You are right. If possible, I would like to go to the base to have a look. But I can't stay on land for too long, and I have to go back in a week at most."

Qi Le calculated the time and said with a smile: "That's enough. We'll set off tomorrow, hand over the goods at the base, and return on the same day."

"That's not a problem."

Sea turtles have always been curious about the bases established by alien races.This curiosity reaches its peak when they team up to fight off the invading pirates.

When conditions permit, he naturally does not want to miss the opportunity to satisfy his curiosity.

After finalizing the itinerary, Qi Le relaxed, and said while walking: "Some time ago, I invited several aliens to the market. They bought a lot of alien plants, some of which were marine algae."

"Marine algae?" Ethan paused for a moment, and said in surprise, "If I remember correctly, the algae you collected before are highly poisonous. They are said to be used to prepare potions."

"That's right." Qi Le walked around a row of buildings, flicked his tail, and walked into a busy street, "There are many species of alien races, and their habits are also diverse. Many alien races like to eat poisonous plants."

"Like ostriches like to eat poisonous fungi?"

"It's not that different, but there are some differences." Qi Le thought for a while and said, "I know a foreigner who has a poison sac under her tongue, and needs to eat poisonous plants regularly to replenish the toxins inside. It's her racial genius, like we get our energy from food."

"So that's the case." Ethan nodded.

"Many alien races are interested in the blue star alien plant, and poisonous algae are among them. This is a good thing for us, isn't it?" Qi Le blinked.

"Good thing?"

"The alien race I mentioned is from Star Six. She introduced me to more than a dozen merchants and pirates. They all plan to buy a large amount of poisonous plants and ship them back to the galaxy for sale. If the transaction goes well and both parties are satisfied, more than [-]% of them will Turn it into a long-term deal."

The two walked in the market, and the smell of barbecue filled the air.

Seeing the hedgehog barbecue stall in the distance, Qi Le unconsciously quickened his pace.

"The dolphin told me last time that these kinds of mutated algae grew vigorously and flooded some sea areas, causing the population there a headache. I thought, why not harvest them regularly and sell them to foreign races, which can not only solve the trouble, but also exchange for Medicines and other commodities also kill two birds with one stone."

The turtle didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.

"In the sea area where I live, there are not many mutated algae. However, I heard from real dolphins that they passed a sea area when they were chasing salmon. There was a lot of algae near the estuary, and even affected the lives of some species. This time I When I go back, I will ask them to see if they intend to do this kind of business."

While talking, the two had arrived at the hedgehog's barbecue stand.

Seeing Qi Le, the hedgehog immediately waved his paw, signaling his companion to take his place, turned around and fetched the metal box, opened the lid, and took out the roasted meat sprinkled with the juice of rose thorns.

The moment the box was opened, the fragrance in the air rose to another level.

Even Ethan couldn't help sniffing.

"With this kind of juice, the taste will indeed become quite good." The hedgehog took out a handful of cut thorns, and said to Qi Le, "Last time I heard you said that this thorn was taken from a mutant rose. If possible, we Want to know, is it possible to buy in bulk?"

"Ask Finli about this." Qi Le divided the barbecue into three parts as usual, put away one part and prepared it for Kitten and Tai Sui; own mouth.

Elephant meat already tastes good, very chewy, and with the aroma of seasoning, it is so delicious that people can swallow their tongues.

Following Qi Le's example, Ethan cut the barbecue into slices, ate one piece in his mouth, and swallowed it with a thump before chewing twice, his movements were obviously faster.

"Finley, the male lynx?"

"Correct."

After Qi Le finished eating the barbecue, he carefully licked his paws clean.

"This mutated rose was discovered by Finley, and there was only one transplanted in front of him. But according to him, there is a large area at the edge of the forest. If you want to find it, you can definitely find it."

After the hedgehog had a brief exchange of opinions, Qi Le reminded: "It needs to be explained in advance, this mutant plant is very aggressive, and you must be very careful when picking it."

"How strong is the attack?" A hedgehog asked curiously.

"According to Finlay's standards, at least three paw prints."

The hedgehogs stared wide-eyed.

They need heterogeneous plants as seasonings, and if they don’t have time to pick them by themselves, they will buy them from shops and have done business a few times, so they naturally know the “grading” standard of male lynx.

Three paw prints?

This kind of attack power has reached the fatal level.

"If the demand is large, you can order through the store, which can save a lot of trouble, and the price can be discounted." Qi Le suggested.

It is an indisputable fact that hedgehogs are not good at dealing with mutant plants.

Take the mutated vines bred by squirrels as an example. The little squirrels can grab the vines and play on swings, and if they don't accept it, they will use their big teeth to chew until they are honest.Hedgehogs don't have this ability.The thorns on their bodies can deal with alien beasts and easily capture prey, but they have little effect on alien plants.

The attack power of the heterogeneous plants is not strong, so it is no problem to pick them by yourself.When encountering three levels of paw prints, rushing forward is purely asking for trouble.Still according to what Qi Le said, it is more time-saving and labor-saving to buy through shops.

After making up their minds, the hedgehogs discussed a few words with each other, and immediately two of them left the stall, carrying crystal nuclei and fresh exotic meat, to the shop opened by the male lynx.

After leaving the barbecue stall, Qi Le took Ethan to the kitten's shop.

The little lynx has a goal to fight for, and has already regained its energy. It is squatting on the counter, waving its little paws, dealing with a group of noisy meerkats.

This group of meerkats are looking at a batch of seafood and are trying to bargain.

They may not really care about a few crystal nuclei, for the fun of the whole process.

Since the native species rarely communicate with each other, naturally few people know about the nature of the meerkat.At first glance, I thought they were really dissatisfied with the price, and they took the initiative to make concessions for the sake of long-term trading.

Unexpectedly, the store took the initiative to lower the price, but the meerkat didn't look happy at all, but shouted that the other party shouldn't give in so quickly.

Faced with this situation, everyone felt that Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out, and couldn't understand what the meerkat was trying to do.

Bargaining, shops make price.

The result is still not satisfactory.

The most puzzling thing is that it is not dissatisfaction with the price that is too small, but that it should not be so quick.

Enough support?

After more times, everyone began to understand the meerkat's temper.

Those who were impatient to talk to them directly waved their paws, indicating that it was okay to buy things, but there was no way to quarrel.For those who have common hobbies, such as squirrels, every meeting is a lively scene, and the noise can last for an hour or two.

Every time the meerkat walks into the squirrel's shop, the native species will tell each other and take a detour.

Nearby shops may even be temporarily closed.

It really hurts my brain from being quarreled by this group of hairballs, and I can't rub it up and kick it like a ball. I can only hide it if I can't provoke it, close the store door, take this opportunity to go out to hunt, and open after their quarrel is over.

Unfortunately, the item that the meerkat needs this time is not available in the squirrel's store.Knowing that Kitten's shop had stock, they turned around and headed straight over.

Not surprisingly, the scene that Qi Le saw appeared.

"father!"

The kitten jumped out from behind the counter, jumped over the noisy meerkat in the air, and landed in front of Qi Le.

Tai Sui was hanging on the kitten's back, probably woken up by the meerkat, its tentacles curled up, Heidou's eyes were half-closed, and he yawned again and again, looking listless.

Qi Le glanced at the meerkat, motioned for the kitten to walk out of the shop with him, and asked him to say hello to Ethan.Then he opened the space button, took out the leftover barbecue, and handed it to the kitten with bright eyes.

"Take it and eat it with Yuan Ash."

"Thank you dad!"

The kitten took the meat of the alien animal, rubbed Qi Le's cheek, said goodbye to Ethan, and turned back to the shop.

Looking at the kitten's back, Ethan smiled and said, "Compared to the last time I saw him, he has grown up a lot."

"Yes." Qi Le sighed, "Do native tigers grow so fast?"

"Probably." Ethan was not very sure, "I have seen adult native tigers and sub-adult tiger cubs, and learned about their habits. I really don't know much about their growth speed."

"Is there a native tiger in the eighth district?" Qi Le asked.

"It was there before, but I haven't seen it in the past 50 years." Ethan thought for a while, and said, "It probably moved away, or it may be far away from the coast and live on the other side of the forest."

The eighth district has a vast area. Like the eleventh district, it is covered with dense forests and has a very rich population.

If a native tiger lives in the eighth district and occupies a piece of land in the forest, it can live well without going to the seaside to find prey.

Qi Le has been making a lot of noise recently, and has gradually established contact with the native species in the eighth district. The transportation team of the black spider travels between several districts, and the business is booming.

There are really native tigers living in the eighth district, and they should have heard the news long ago.Even if it is out of curiosity, it shouldn't be unresponsive.

The current situation is that he has passed by the eighth district several times, and has long-term business contacts with many native species in the area. Let alone seeing it with his own eyes, he has not even heard a word about the native tiger.

The only possibility is that, as Ethan said, the native tigers in District [-] have moved away.

Thinking of this, Qi Le couldn't help but sigh.

Native cats are rare, and native tigers are also elusive. As a rare raccoon cat, he actually picked up a rare tiger cub. It can only be said that God likes to joke, and there are miracles everywhere.

third district border

Led by a few high-level zombies, a large number of corpses gathered, hitting the barrier again and again, and the energy fluctuation became more and more obvious.

Roaring and impacting sounds continued one after another, and manic emotions filled the crowd of corpses, which was extremely frightening.

boom!

A topless, high-level zombie wearing only trousers clenched its fists and hit the barrier one after another. His eyes were red and his expression was ferocious and excited.

Beside him, a large number of ordinary zombies waved their sharp claws, rushing forward like crazy.

Some zombies bounced off the barrier and flew out backwards.

After landing, it was trampled by corpses and instantly turned into a mass of black minced meat.

boom!

There was another loud noise, and the barrier began to appear unstable.

The group of corpses became more and more manic, ferocious and bloodthirsty.

Seeing this scene, the original species who was observing from a distance shuddered, and a sense of crisis surged in an instant.There was no time to think about it, and he completely followed his nature, and immediately turned around and ran to the fourth district.

The horde of corpses continued to attack, trying to break through the barrier.

The roar resounded through the wilderness, and the earth trembled.

The group of lions living on the border of the second district felt vigilant when they heard the roar in the wind, and nervously looked in the direction of the roar.

The white-robed zombie stood on the shoulder of the one-eyed zombie. Seeing that the barrier became more and more unstable, the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense.

When the barrier was about to be breached, the white-robed zombies burst out suddenly, but instead of attacking the barrier, they rushed towards the zombies attacking the barrier.Locking on a leading advanced zombie, strangling the opponent's neck with one arm, piercing through the chest with sharp claws, firmly holding a black heart.

Zombies in military uniforms and skeletons followed closely behind him, standing on his left and right, blocking the crowd of crazy corpses.

After the three of them, higher-ranking zombies stepped forward one after another, confronting the same kind that attacked the barrier.

They couldn't explain the reason, but there was always a voice echoing in their minds: the barrier cannot be destroyed, the corpses cannot be rushed out, absolutely not!
