Qi Le

Ethan and his party arrived in District [-] and encountered a lynx hunting at the border.

Dalia's territory is close to the sea, and it is considered a neighbor to the turtle.Arya had also met Ethan before, and they were no strangers to each other.

After saying hello, knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, and after the sisters discussed, Arya stayed where she was and continued to wait for the prey to appear.Dalia led the way and drove towards the market with more than one hundred "ocean tour groups".

Before leaving, Dalia took out a communicator, first sent a message to Qi Le, and then said to Arya: "I will take them to the market, and I will come back to you after seeing Qi Le."

Arya nodded, walked under an arbor, and quickly disappeared under the shade of the tree.

Ollie and Oja followed their mother, imitating Arya's every move.Ash also stayed and concentrated on learning hunting skills.

Ah Yuan was not there.

The market is becoming more and more prosperous, and the little lynx is helping in the kitten's shop. He is so busy every day that he has almost no free time except for eating and sleeping.

In addition, he has a special talent, even if he walks up to the prey, the other party may not notice it, and Dalia turns a blind eye to the occasional lazy behavior of his youngest son.

Halfway through the journey, everyone encountered native ants on patrol.

Dalia stepped forward to explain the situation, and then pointed to Ethan who was walking behind.

"I've already informed Qi Le, it's best to talk to Squirrel and the others again."

The soldier ants nodded, separated into two, and returned the same way by the aircraft.The rest continued to patrol the mission, not interested in these ocean visitors at all.

Things might be different if black and fire ants are present.

What Dalia encountered was army ants.

These gangsters are used to nomadic life, and travel between districts all year round. In certain years, they will also stay at the beach for a long time to catch sea crabs and sea mussels living on the beach.

For them, deep-sea populations may be rare, but the native whales and dolphins in front of them can be seen every year, which is not unusual at all.

As for why they landed on land, and there are so many of them, there are several conclusions. The most likely one is to come to buy goods and satisfy their curiosity about the market by the way.

However, the goods sent by the ant colony before have been sold out, the next batch has not yet arrived, and the warehouse has already bottomed out.Even if Ethan and the others brought a crystal nucleus mountain, the army ants still couldn't make money.Rather than wasting time in vain, it is far better to seize the time and patrol a few more laps.If you're lucky, you can take the opportunity to make some extra money when you meet a strange beast that is left behind.

After the army ants left, Dalia continued to lead the way.

Ethan had been to the fair and was giving an introduction to the fin whales.No, before walking too far, a silver-white metal wall suddenly came into view.

Ethan looked surprised.

The last time he was here, there were no such buildings around the market.

"This is Qi Le's idea." Dalia said, "When the beast tide hit, some buildings in the market were destroyed. During the reconstruction, many new corridors were built, and along the way, the house was expanded, and this road was built. Wall."

"Is the whole market within the walls?" Ethan asked.

"Yes." Dalia nodded, raised her front paw, and pointed to an arch on the right, "Where is the passage to and from the market."

The fence is tens of meters high, and the building materials are not only ores, but also metal plates synthesized by sea lions.

The arch is carved out of a full sheet metal and topped by a long bridge with control panels inlaid on it.

On weekdays, the gate of the market is open all day long and never closed.

In case of an emergency, the crystal nucleus is embedded in the control panel, and an energy barrier will immediately be formed to seal the arch.No matter whether it is a beast, a zombie or a native species, as long as the barrier does not disappear, it is impossible to enter the market from the ground.

This defensive measure is similar to the gate of the base.

However, compared to the various facilities of the base, the market can only be regarded as the initial stage, and there is still a long way to go to further improve it.

Building the wall was proposed by Qi Le, and the appearance of the arch was entirely due to the squirrels.

When did these balls trade all the equipment, and when did they learn the relevant knowledge, Qi Le didn't know anything.The only thing he knew was that Ashlia helped a lot during the construction of the energy barrier.

Whenever he asked about the details, all the squirrels involved in the transaction would hug their tails and make an expression of "it's impossible to say".

Think about how every time the girl sees a squirrel, her eyes will shine and she can't control her hands. Dad cat silently looks away and chooses to shut up wisely. Silence is golden.

After a long silence, seeing that the squirrel was still hugging its tail and its cheeks became more puffy, the cat dad stretched out his front paws and patted the squirrel on the shoulder.

It's nothing to be touched twice by a girl, and it's nothing to hug him a few times, but he was pinched and buried in his stomach when he was "unfamiliar".Although a lot of chessboard faces have been sent out... Father Cat sighed and patted the squirrel again, in short, just get used to it.

When Ethan and his party walked to the entrance of the market, Qi Le had already closed the shop, so he hurried over.

Walking along the newly built road, there are metal houses on both sides.Different from the previous iron gray, some of the newly built houses are close to silver white, and some are pure gold. Under the sunlight, all of them are shining.

Probably because they felt that the architectural style was too monotonous, the squirrels searched around and traded with the native species in the [-]th and [-]th districts, in exchange for a large number of gemstones and emeralds, which were inlaid around the roof and window frames.

Seeing "Gem House" and "Emerald House" for the first time, Qi Le was silent for half a minute.

On second thought, to the Blue Star population, these are just beautiful stones, not of much value at all.Crystal nuclei can be used for lighting. Isn't it a matter of course to find some "stones" to set up a house?

Each house is connected by a metal corridor, with mutated plants transplanted on both sides of the corridor, and merchants who have obtained permission to place goods on it.At the moment, there is a flow of people, and it is very lively.

On the ground, some native species are being sold along the street.

None of them rented shops, and the goods were not suitable for street stalls, so they simply carried the goods on their backs and showed them to everyone as they walked forward.

Among them, five or six meerkats are particularly eye-catching.

They carried huge bags with the mouth open, and inside were different kinds of mutated snakes.

In order to prevent cannibalism, the mouth of each mutated snake was tied up. If it couldn't be tied up, it had to be killed and put into another pocket.

They went to Crow's shop first, and asked about the purchase price, but they thought it was not a good deal.When I was about to go to the next store, I encountered several wasps walking towards me and asked if the mutated snake in the bag was for sale.

Knowing that the wasp really wanted to buy it, the meerkat was overjoyed, but he still couldn't change his quarrelsome temper. After some haggling, he sold the mutated snake to the other party.

In order to thank the wasps for arguing with them, they also presented more than a dozen snake eggs.

After this deal was concluded, the meerkat gained experience and simply left the shop and peddled its prey along the street.

In terms of price, you may not be able to earn much more.However, bargaining with different species greatly satisfies their love for quarreling.As the goods continued to be sold, the meerkat made a decision to come to the market next time and continue to do so.

The price is not bad, and there are quarrels, which is completely killing two birds with one stone.

When Ethan and his party walked by, the meerkat was selling mutant snakes to some armadillos.

The giant snake with a length of more than six meters was as soft as a noodle under their claws. It was allowed to be rounded and flattened, thrown back and forth, and even tied in a knot.

"How about it, the three crystal nuclei are absolutely worth it!"

Crouch saw land snakes for the first time, so he leaned forward curiously.

The meerkat was talking non-stop, talking vigorously, when suddenly a shadow fell over his head.

The meerkat holding the mutated snake raised its head, raised its head, raised its head again, almost leaned over, and finally saw the big man standing behind it clearly.

Being startled by Crouch, the meerkat would naturally not be too polite.Baring his fangs at Crouch, he raised the mutated snake on its claws: "Buy it or not? Three crystal nuclei!"

Translate it, get out of the way if you don’t buy it, don’t block the light!

Hearing what the meerkat said, Crouch didn't say a word, he took out three crystal nuclei and was about to stuff them into the other party.

"Wait!" Ethan hurriedly stopped, took out the mutated fish skin that he carried with him, wrapped the crystal nucleus carefully, and handed it to the meerkat.

"This is the crystal nucleus of mutated krill. If you don't take some protective measures, their claws will be frostbitten."

Realizing his negligence, Crouch pinched the back of his neck in embarrassment and apologized to the meerkat.

"It doesn't matter." The meerkat waved its paws and said, "I know you didn't do it on purpose. But, you are sure to pay for three crystal nuclei, don't you think the price is too expensive?"

Crouch froze on the spot.

Is this how business is done?

Dalia sighed and patted Ethan with his paw, telling him to take Crouch away quickly.

"I can't strike up a conversation. Once I strike up a conversation, it will be endless."

Ethan had been to the market once and knew the "prestige" of the meerkat, so he held Crouch and walked forward quickly.

When the backs of the two disappeared, the meerkat shook his head regretfully.Turning around and seeing the armadillo still in place, he grabbed two more mutated snakes and continued to sell them to each other.

"If you want to buy it, do it as soon as possible. If you start slowly, you may be bought by someone else."

The killer whale and the dolphin walked behind Ethan, passed a row of barbecue stalls, and were immediately attracted by the smell.

Both the two tigers and the three tigers have eaten the barbecue brought by the kitten, and they remember the taste.

The two brothers looked at each other, and their eyes lit up at the same time.Squeezing to the front of the booth, seeing the grills spread out in a row and the legs of alien animals on top, I couldn't help sniffling.

The legs of the beast were roasted until they were golden brown, and as they were constantly turned, the rich fat dripped and splashed into the fire, making crackling noises.

Hedgehogs and porcupines held up brushes made of animal bristles and spread various seasonings on the barbecue.When the meat is half or half cooked, it will be brushed with a layer of sweet rose juice, making the fragrance more attractive.

The legs of the alien beast were baked, and were quickly divided up, even the bones were bought.

In addition to hedgehogs, giraffes occasionally gnaw on some bones. The leg bones of exotic animals on these barbecue stalls are quite suitable for their appetite.

After finishing a deal, the hedgehogs had no time to rest at all, so they took out two animal legs, a whole rib, and put their brains on the grill.Taking advantage of the gap, he took out more than 20 mutated birds from the space button, all of which had been plucked and cleaned, strung on the branches, and began to apply seasoning.

Two tigers and three tigers bought four beasts and six skewers of roasted birds. Their mouths were full of oil, but they didn't even feel full.

When Qi Le found them, they were attacking the second batch of barbecue.Attracted by the aroma, most of the team couldn't hold back, and stopped one after another to take out the crystal nuclei, wanting to taste the roasted wildebeest meat.

The barbecue stall of hedgehog and porcupine is almost contracted by this group of marine visitors.

Watching them eat one animal leg after another, and digest nearly a hundred roasted mutant birds, but they didn't show any intention of stopping, the hedgehog and porcupine were full of awe.

They thought that the buffalo was enough to eat, but they didn't expect that the real food was here!

When Father Cat came closer, he saw Aisha, who was holding wildebeest legs in one hand and roasting mutant bird skewers in the other, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching twice.

This is true of the land bosses, and the same is true of the ocean bosses. Could it be that as long as it is a blue star population, it cannot get rid of the foodie attribute?

Seeing Qi Le, Dalia quickly bid farewell and left to join Arya to continue teaching the cubs to hunt.

After greeting the leader of the killer whale, Dad Cat turned his head and looked around, but found no sign of the turtle. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is Ethan? I heard there is a fin whale accompanying him?"

"Probably in front." Aisha finished eating the beast leg, and pointed to the direction where Ethan and Crouch left.

Just now I heard from the hedgehog that the bone marrow is also delicious, so the female leader plans to try it.

Without the help of hedgehogs and porcupines, the hard leg bones were bitten out a gap on the spot when they bit their teeth.Then break it hard, and it will become two pieces directly.

"Front?"

There were people all around, and Aisha spoke in general terms, Qi Le couldn't help being a little confused.

"That pointed house with green and red stones on the roof," said a real dolphin. "I just saw that they went to that house."

Looking in the direction pointed by the dolphin, the cat father locked on to the newly opened pharmacy store of the Raptor, and was about to walk there. Thinking of the group of people in front of the barbecue stall, he immediately sent a message to the kitten.

"Son, Sanhu and the others are here."

There was a cheer from the opposite side of the screen, accompanied by the doubtful voice of the little lynx.

The kitten briefly explained to his companions, then leaned in front of the screen, asked where the killer whales and dolphins were, handed over the shop to the little lynx, and drove towards this side with Tai Sui behind his back.

The ground is too crowded, and the kitten is familiar with the road conditions and walks directly through the air corridor.

Looking down from a high position, he saw Qi Le standing in front of the barbecue stall from a distance, and immediately raised his voice: "Father!"

Before the words fell, the kitten had already leaped down from mid-air.

Qi Le was taken aback. Even though he knew the kitten would be fine, he instinctively changed his shape, stretched out his arms to catch his son, and hugged him into his arms.

The little killer whale looked over and saw the kitten with its front paws on Qi Le's shoulders, and couldn't help but smile.

"Qining!"

"you are?"

"I am Three Tigers!"

"Three tigers?" The kitten tilted its head and opened its mouth wide. "Don't tell me, you won't be able to change shape until the next rainy season?"

"That's true." Sanhu explained, "Mom said that I have taken medicine, and my physical talent is stronger than other cubs, so the time will be brought forward."

"Really?" The kitten looked down at himself. He also took medicine and crystal nuclei. Why can't he be the same as the three tigers?On second thought, there was nothing wrong with being late.If it grows too fast, it won't be able to act like a baby with Dad.

"It's not because of this, I can't log in either." Sanhu laughed.He casually pulled a few little dolphins, "The same goes for them."

The friends reunited and talked warmly with each other.

Qi Le put the kitten on the ground, and let him lead the way for the killer whales and dolphins.If you want to trade in the market, try to help the other party choose a suitable shop.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely do it!"

The kitten puffed out its chest and pricked up its ears, its blond hair glistened better than the finest satin.

Qi Le pinched the kitten's ears, and when he saw the turbulent crowd, he resolutely changed back to Lihua, walked through the gap between the crowd, and went to look for Ethan and the fin whale.

In the universe, there was a fierce exchange of fire between the base fleet and the interceptors.

Perhaps it was because the battlefield was too close to the star affiliated to the Albus, and they didn't want to have an accident midway. The joint fleet of the first clan and the third clan concentrated all their firepower from the very beginning, and slammed the flagship where Xial and Alecto were located, intending to fight quickly quick decision.

Unlike the last interception, Shiar did not leave the flagship, but stayed in the command cabin, commanding the fleet to fight back.

The warships at the base have been remodeled to use blue star crystal cores as energy sources. They are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but their firepower is not weak at all, and they even seem to overwhelm their opponents.

Witnessing the battle, Alecto's eyes flashed with surprise, and then excited and eager.

"Xiaer," the governor turned his head and looked at the captain with a smile, "Can we have a discussion..."

"No." Before Governor Alecto could finish speaking, the captain had already blocked the words.

"You know what I'm trying to say?" The governor gasped.

"Isn't it a base warship?" Shiar raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Governor Alecto did not deny, "I hope to buy warships of the same type."

"No."

"As far as I know, this is made by Garbage Star, right?" Governor Alecto folded his arms, "If I place an order, they won't make it for me just like money can't make it through."

"That's true." Shiar leaned back in the chair, "But I won't sell you the crystal nucleus."

"Can't we discuss it?"

"Impossible." Shiar was decisive, leaving no room for words.

"I can buy it from the local population!" Alektu said.

"The Parliament and the Senate have approved my application. Since five days ago, Blue Star has been my territory. I have the right to restrict the trade of crystal nuclei outside the planet."

"Aren't you worried about causing opposition?" Alecto frowned.

"I only restrict the trade of crystal nuclei, and the trade of other commodities is not included. Moreover, it's not that there is no foreign trade at all, but there is a certain limit on the quantity." Xial looked directly at Alecto, "If I and the planet The population shows a strong relationship, who do you think they will trust?"

If Star Friday buys warships, it will definitely not be a minority, at least it will be a fleet.

The news cannot be concealed, and other constellations will follow.

With more warships, the number of crystal nuclei required will inevitably skyrocket.At that time, poaching will revive again, which will inevitably be a disaster for the blue star population.

He established a base on Blue Star and formed an alliance with the species on the planet, so he was obliged to maintain the safety of the planet.

It is better to cut off at the source than to trouble yourself in the future.

If one day in the future, without destroying the ecology, a sufficient amount of crystal nuclei can be produced on the planet, and the number of external transactions can be increased appropriately.But at this stage, the trading of crystal nuclei must be limited.

No one can come, including his uncle, Governor Alecto.

Knowing that Shiar would not give in, Governor Alecto did not get angry, but laughed.

"it is good!"

The Governor-General patted Shiar on the shoulder vigorously.

"My nephew, that's how it should be!"

A few light years away from the battlefield, an inconspicuous smuggling ship is sailing in space.

The spaceship was not a smuggler, but Gu Xuan and Satie who had returned from the poisonous gas planet.

According to the coordinates set by Pontuk and Nathan, the spacecraft will arrive at the destination Blue Star in half a month.

In the command cabin, Gu Xuan was sitting on a metal chair, looking at the eternally silent universe through the screen, pressing his chest with one hand, feeling the heat that was different from the past, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were blood red.
