Qi Le

Hearing the sound of the ostrich, the squirrels fell silent and their tails all stood up.

Qi Le turned around and saw the female ostrich appearing at the entrance of the cave. He signaled the squirrels to be calm and briefly explained the previous battle with the zombies.

"After the battle, the zombies left District [-], leaving behind a large territory. Alien races established bases in Blue Star, and many alien beasts moved away after that."

"So, there is a large area of ​​unclaimed territory in the eleventh district?" the female ostrich asked.

"Yes." Qi Le nodded, "I thought the news had already spread."

"There are indeed similar rumors." The female ostrich leaned on the metal plate on the side of the hole with one hand, "We were in the tenth district before, but we recently moved to the twelveth district."

In other words, the ostrich couple had just arrived and had no acquaintances. Even if they heard similar rumors, there was no way to confirm them further.

"Are you planning to give up the territory here when you go to District [-] this time?" the female ostrich continued to ask.

"Of course not!" the squirrel said loudly, wagging its tail from side to side, and crackling sparks.There are many ostriches who dare to come up with the idea of ​​occupying territory and immediately start a war.

"We decided to connect this area with the eleventh district." Qi Le and the squirrel discussed in a low voice, revealing part of the plan to the ostrich. "At that time, the mole will also join in, and there will be a few other groups."

If the ostrich really dares to do something, it doesn't matter whether it is a native species or whether it has superior combat effectiveness, the cat father and the squirrel will not budge.

"You misunderstood me, I didn't mean that." The female ostrich shook her head hastily, with soft facial features, her smile was particularly friendly, and she would unconsciously let go of her guard.

"What I want to know is how many unowned lands there are in the eleventh district. If we go together, can we share a piece? Of course, we will pay the crystal nucleus, and you can also put forward other conditions."

"With us?" Dad Cat asked in surprise, "You don't have territory in District [-]?"

"No." Another voice joined in, it was another female ostrich, "After we moved to the [-]th district, we temporarily shared a piece of grassland with the emus. The water shortage in the [-]th district is getting worse and the living resources are very tight. We You have to think about your children."

Most native ostriches live in zones eight and ten.

Young ostriches will live with their parents for three to five years, then go out to find their own territory and form families with other ostriches.

The two couples, both from District [-], belonged to different ethnic groups and had never met.After moving into the [-]th district, they didn't have any contact with each other.It wasn't until he took the child to find a water source and entered the territory of the squirrel that he opened the fight face to face.

Why they moved out of the tenth district, the female ostrich did not elaborate.The cat father suspects that it has something to do with their act of robbing the child.

Judging from the number of small ostriches, these four fought a lot in the tenth district, and the winning rate was extremely high.Moving to District [-] was probably out of necessity, because I didn't want to be surrounded and beaten by parents who lost their children.

If Qi Le and Squirrel hadn't heard what they said, they would probably have stayed in District [-] until they snatched a territory from others.

Now, they have another option.

"Your suggestion is very good. We decided to raise the chicks together. Therefore, we need a larger territory." A female ostrich said, "If you are willing to travel with us, except for the crystal nucleus, we can be responsible for the safety along the way .In case of trouble in the future, we can also help."

Speaking of which, the female ostrich beckoned to the male ostrich not far away, motioning him to show his figure and muscles.

The male ostrich immediately turns into its original form, spreading its feathers and posing in various poses.Blue electric arcs crawled across his body, no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit surreal.

"How is it?" The female ostrich looked at Qi Le, then at the squirrel, and asked, "Is this a good condition?"

The father cat and the squirrel exchanged glances, and instead of answering immediately, they told the female ostrich that they needed to discuss it.

"Okay." The female ostrich nodded to Qi Le and the squirrels without forcing it.

Looking at Qi Ning who was playing with Tai Sui with his paws, the ostrich took out two light red crystal nuclei from his waist pocket and said, "These are all taken from non-toxic fungi, let him grind his teeth and play with them." .”

Putting down the crystal nucleus, the female ostrich jumped down the curve, turned her body lightly in the air, and fell back to the ground steadily.

The little ostrich immediately surrounded it, flapped its little wings, and let out a crisp cry.

The male ostrich asked about the past and thought it would be risky to take the child to the eleventh district.

"The border of District [-], that is, the area near the Dead Lake is very strange. There are often native species and exotic animals disappearing inexplicably. It is rumored that the zombies in District [-] are hiding near there." A male ostrich said, "If you are not careful , I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"There is no trouble here." A female ostrich grabbed the male ostrich's neck with one hand, and lowered the other's gaze. "The emu has expressed dissatisfaction several times. If we continue to stay in District [-], there will still be problems. Death Lake How about it, the poisonous fog there is not a problem at all, even if there are zombies infested, it can also exercise the children's ability to survive."

"Tum is right." Another female ostrich said, "We leave the tenth district, no matter where we go, we will encounter danger. It is better for the children to see it beforehand than to encounter troubles after independence and not know how to solve them .”

"Yam, it's not that simple." The female ostrich's spouse said.

"It's not that complicated." Yam grabbed the beak of the male ostrich and pulled it down forcefully. "Do you want to fight the emu? They don't like to fight alone."

If you live in District [-], let alone a colony of emus, both colonies should be fine.

The key is that they have already left and have no other brothers and sisters around them. Compared with the emus who have lived in the grassland for generations, they are indeed at a disadvantage.

There are too many emus. If you surround the young birds, they will definitely be restrained, and they will be defeated.

"We go to District [-], and there is another advantage," Tom said in a low voice, "Didn't you hear that these squirrels are trading with alien races?"

"So what?" The male ostrich couldn't turn the corner for a while.

"They have potions suitable for cubs!" Tumu hated iron and steel, and slapped the male ostrich on the spot, "Don't you want to make the children strong? If they can survive successfully, we can build our own group !"

Adult ostriches do not live together, but it does not mean that they will never communicate with each other.

On the contrary, they will keep in touch with each other from time to time, forming loose groups with adoptive parents as the mainstay.In times of crisis, members of the group gather together to deal with it together.

"The tenth district has no place for us, and the twelfth district is not suitable either. The eleventh district is the best choice."

"There is a large area of ​​forest." The male ostrich still wanted to argue.

"You can live in the desert and the sea, but what is the forest!"

The female ostrich made up her mind and made a final decision without any arguments.Just waiting for Qi Le and the squirrels to nod, they will take the little ostriches to set off.

The male ostrich's objection is invalid and he can only accept the reality.

If you think about it carefully, there is really nothing wrong with gaining a territory without fighting.

After thinking it over, the male ostrich cheered up and looked around vigilantly, preparing to expel all possible competitors.The size of the territory is still uncertain. If these guys also plan to get a piece of the pie, it will be very bad.

It's better to start in advance, one less competitor is one!

The hostility of the male ostrich was too obvious. The strange animal drinking water sensed that something was wrong, and its body stiffened for two seconds. They all sped up their movements and quickly left the pit before the ostrich got mad.

The weather is too hot, who knows what kind of nerves the ostrich has.They finally agreed to survive most of the dry season. They didn't want to be kicked to death by a convulsive ostrich. It was really not worth it.

In the burrow, Qi Le discussed with the squirrels whether to accept the ostrich.

"If they don't accept it, there's no guarantee they won't go by themselves." Qi Le said while licking his paws, "As long as they keep their promises, their safety is guaranteed."

From the previous battles, it can be seen that the ostrich couple with their children is a kind of magical existence, and their combat power is beyond common sense. If the number is not dominant, even large raptors may not dare to provoke them.

"What if they want to take all the territory?" Chipmunk worried.

"Probably not." The red squirrel shook his head.

"How do you know?" Chipmunk cocked his tail.

"Because ostriches, like emus, seldom break their promises!"

The squirrels talked to each other, and soon became noisy again.

The black squirrel that went out returned with vines, greeted the black spider, grabbed the vines and descended to the pit, saw the ostrich at the bottom of the pit, and tilted its head strangely.

"They should have drunk water, why don't they leave?"

The black squirrel walked towards the burrow with confusion, and when it saw Qi Le and his son who had returned, it immediately jumped up and rubbed it, took out the jerky from its cheeks, and handed it to Qi Ning, who was just as old as the tiger.

"Why are they arguing?" When the black squirrel came back, the red squirrel and the chipmunk were arguing lively.

"Because of the group of ostriches outside." Qi Le curled up his tail, yawned lazily, and briefly explained the whole story.

Knowing the whole process, the black squirrel not only did not speak out to persuade, but put up its tail and happily joined the quarrel.

Qi Le: "..."

He really doesn't understand the world of squirrels.

After half an hour, the squirrel showed no sign of stopping.The cat dad got a headache from the quarrel, and meowing a few times didn't work, so he could only cover his ears with his paws, and wait until they got over the quarrel.

The kitten and Tai Sui shared the jerky, and Tai Sui took out the sea animal meat that had been hidden for a long time. It was tender and delicious, exactly the same as when it was just taken out of the storage room of the base.

The cat father was lying on the ground, with four paws hidden under his body, watching his son and Tai Sui divide the flesh.

Without paying attention, a piece of sea animal meat was stuffed into his mouth.

Looking at the kitten with pricked ears and the black bean-eyed Tai Sui, the cat father chewed twice, swallowed the meat, opened the space button, and took out two metal pipes.

"Thank you dad!"

"Meow!"

The kitten and Tai Sui rushed forward together, each hugging a metal pipe.

Qi Le looked at his son, and then at Tai Sui. If he heard correctly, did Tai Sui really "meow"?

Outside the burrow, the black spider looked down, making sure it wasn't caused by a strange beast that came to drink water, so it quickly dismissed the alarm and continued to catch up on sleep under the banana leaves.

The ostrich was full of surprise.

Adult ostriches have heard about the habits of squirrels and are already prepared.But it was really immersive, and it still hurts my brain from being quarreled.However, if you want to ask the other party, it is not easy to interrupt, so you can only cover your ears and try to stay calm.

The little ostrich thought it was very interesting. Seeing the sparks occasionally flashing out of the hole, he flapped his little wings excitedly, but no matter how he flapped his wings, there was no arc like his parents.

Another half an hour passed, except for the ostriches, all the outside visitors had left, and the squirrels still did not stop arguing.

"Meow!"

Qi Le shouted decisively, roaring at the loudest volume, and finally called a timeout to the squirrels.

"The conditions proposed by the ostriches are good. It is beneficial for us to have them go with us." The father cat lay on the ground, posing in a classic farmer's suit. "If you are really worried, you can negotiate the conditions in advance. If they don't accept it, we will set off alone. "

The squirrels looked at each other and felt that this made sense.

"can."

The black and red squirrels nodded first, followed by the gray and chipmunk.

The conditions proposed by Qi Le and Song Shu were not excessive, and the ostrich almost accepted them all.It is just a condition that when encountering a local raptor, the former needs to come forward to explain it, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

"As long as this problem is solved, we will agree to all the conditions you said, and we will keep our promise!"

Neither couple had been to District [-], but knew that it had a large population of native raptors and was fairly unruly.

Qi Le and Squirrel were familiar with each other, and had fought side by side, moving into the area together would not cause any major problems.Ostriches are not the case. If the raptors are dissatisfied, I am not afraid. What about the little ostrich?

The raptor did not include ostrich in the recipe, which does not mean that it will not teach a lesson.

Facing the threat of territory being invaded, they would definitely fight without saying a word.

With Qi Le and Squirrel mediating in the middle, at least this trouble can be avoided.This is also an important reason why the female ostrich tried her best to persuade the male ostrich to go with the cat father.

After the matter was settled, the male ostrich spread his wings. He didn't see what he was doing, but just shook his feathers, and large pieces of transparent crystal nuclei fell on the ground, like a light rain.

"These are the crystal nuclei of the red paste fungus, you can have as many as you want."

The red paste fungus has a tenacious viability. Except for the fifth district, they can be seen even on the seashore.For ostriches that feed on red plaster fungus, there are indeed as many crystal nuclei as necessary.

Hearing what the ostrich said and seeing the crystal nuclei piled up into a hill, Father Cat was dumbfounded.

This is the so-called trench?

With the crystal nucleus buried in the ground, coupled with the business with other races, I thought I was already well off.Unexpectedly, he was critically attacked by an ostrich in a blink of an eye, causing [-] points of damage.

Probably feeling that the blow was not enough, another male ostrich stepped forward and repeated similar steps.

The crystal nuclei fell one after another, and the cat father dropped his ears, holding his paws, and suddenly didn't want to speak.

Show off your wealth, show off your wealth!

"Father?" The kitten came up to Qi Le, and found that he was a bit listless, and rubbed his forehead against his chin, trying to cheer him up.

"Hey, I'm fine." Qi Le licked the kitten's ears.

He is a man with a son, how could he be hit so easily.

What's more, the ostrich's wealth is a good thing for him and the squirrel.

Such a trench naturally disdains to grab their three melons and two dates.More importantly, they have chicks with them, so they should be interested in the medicine of the alien race.

If things go well, wouldn't it be a good thing to develop a long-term customer in addition to the Raptor?

After figuring it out, the cat father and the squirrel whispered a few times, suggesting that the ostrich kept its promise, and they could sell alien animal meat and elementary potions, which were most suitable for the cubs.If the effect is good, it can be supplied for a long time.

In order to make the effect more intuitive, referring to the previous behavior of the male ostrich, Qi Le specially called a few little squirrels and asked them to pose with Qi Ning.

posing?

The kitten and the little squirrel are standing side by side, both a little silly.

"That's it." Father Cat raised his paw to demonstrate, posing several classic poses.

The kitten and the little squirrel studied hard, and half a minute later, a healthy hairball was born.

"How is it?" Father Cat shook his beard.

"very good!"

The female ostrich made a decision on the spot, and wanted all the medicine and exotic meat!

Ostriches don't eat meat?

Anyone who knows something about this group will sneer.

They like to eat poisonous mushrooms, which does not mean they are vegetarians all year round.When encountering delicious exotic animal meat, I have to open meat from time to time.The exotic animal meat sold by the cat father can strengthen the body and greatly increase the probability of survival of the baby ostrich. The ostrich couple would only refuse it if they were stupid.

The two sides agreed on all the details, and the time was approaching evening.

The squirrels who went out came back one after another, and the black spiders entered the bottom of the pit along the spider silk, and set up camp by the pool.

Since helping the squirrels to transport goods, they have never left and have been living here.Occasionally go out to hunt, in exchange for food from squirrels if there is no harvest.In addition, most of the time was spent under the banana leaf, waiting for the strange beast to come to the door.When bored, he will also help to "take care" of the vines.

The ostrich couple obtained the squirrel's permission and prepared to rest in the trap, waiting to set off together tomorrow to find a new territory in District [-].

After eating fresh exotic animal meat, Qi Le took out the medicine prepared by Alpha and distributed it to squirrels and chipmunks.Repeat the dosage to make sure they don't take too much and cause irreparable results.

"Don't worry, it won't." Heisong patted Qi Le's shoulder, took out a bright red fruit from his cheek, and handed it to Qi Le.

Father Cat looked at the fruit, then at the squirrel, and a huge question mark appeared on his head.

"I saw that the foreign race gave you fruit, and thought you liked this." Heisong's attitude was very serious, not like joking at all, "This kind is very sweet, and those native deer like it the most."

"I have this too." Hei Liu picked up his cheeks.

"And me." Chipmunk also joined in the fun.

"I..." The little squirrel dug out together, and was very frustrated when he found that what he took out was either a crystal nucleus or a strange animal meat.

One after another, the fruits piled up into hills in the blink of an eye.In terms of shape and color, it looks like a ripe cherry, but it is slightly larger.

It would be a lie to say that he is not moved, but Qi Le still has to declare that he likes to eat meat and has no preference for vegetarianism.

"Don't worry, we understand." Red Oak comforted Qi Le, "Although I don't quite understand why you like to eat fruit, but don't worry, as long as we are here, you will definitely not be unable to eat it!"

When the red squirrel spoke, the squirrel in the hole nodded vigorously, as if to say: The squirrel is loyal and will definitely do what it says!

Qi Le: "..."

rest assured?

Big misunderstanding!

Thinking of the source of the misunderstanding, Dad Cat suddenly itched his paws.

Then think about all the "evil actions" of someone rubbing their stomachs, biting their ears, scratching their tails, burying their stomachs, and feeding cayenne leaves. The paws and teeth of the cat dad are itchy.

"Qi Le?" Seeing that the cat father had been silent for a long time, and his whole body was in a state of fraying, the squirrels finally became unsure.

Is it really a misunderstanding?

"It's 100% a misunderstanding!" Dad Cat almost raised his paw to swear.

"Then why does the foreign race feed you fruit?" the chipmunk asked in surprise.

"I don't know either." Qi Le squatted on the ground, his claws popped out of the paw pads, then put away, popped up again, and put away again, "Mo Lan said that this is the habit of the population. In addition to the fruit, he also gave me a kind of leaf , that taste is even more terrifying..."

Listening to Qi Le's description of the smell of Jalan leaves, the squirrels were horrified, and all the hairs on their tails exploded.

Do aliens have this habit?

Next time you go to the alien base, shouldn't you be more careful?

"Aren't you curious about what this behavior means?" Qi Le asked.

"Need it?" The squirrels tilted their heads at the same time.

"Don't you need it?"

The squirrels looked at each other, and finally the black squirrel said, "Since it is not poisonous and can strengthen your physique, it proves that he has no malice towards you. Besides, he is male, right?"

Qi Le nodded.

"That can't be for giving birth to cubs." Heisong held his paws, as if he had come here.Suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, are you male?"

"Of course I am!" Dad Cat frowned.

They have seen both the original form and the humanoid form, how could they be unsure!

and many more!

If there are hyenas in this world, and squirrels have seen them... no, I can't think about it anymore, if I think about it, it will be restricted!

Father Cat shook his head quickly.

"Don't be angry, I'm just kidding." Seeing Qi Le's fur all over, the squirrel wagged its tail, indicating that he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

Qi Le: "..." Is the atmosphere so active?

The red oak pushed the black squirrel away, and said, "The words of the black squirrel reminded me that according to this year's situation, you will still be in heat in the rainy season next year. Instead of eating crystal nuclei, it is better to find a spouse as soon as possible."

"Looking for a spouse?" Qi Le turned his head stiffly, not understanding why the topic suddenly changed here.

"If you want to have cubs, find a female. If you can't find one, then find a male."

"Looking for a male?" Father Cat couldn't react for a while.

"If you don't have cubs, it's really not bad." Red Oak raised his tail and said seriously, "I heard from Mole that females and males of native cats don't live together for a long time. After giving birth to cubs, the male They all leave and only occasionally bring back some food. The rest of the time the females take care of the young. If the male stays too long, he will be chased away by the female."

"That's why there are so few native cats?" Chipmunk asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's hard to raise the cubs alone." The red squirrel nodded.

Qi Le's eyes widened, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Thinking back carefully, the first time I saw Qi Ning, the kitten only mentioned "mother" and never mentioned "father".If the tiger father was by his side, he probably wouldn't find a lihua.

"In your situation, you can't always eat crystal nuclei. If you can't find a female, you should naturally find a male. If you can't find a male, you can only find it from other groups."

"Other species?" Father Cat was shocked again.

"Yes, anyway, the original species can change, so don't worry about mating." Chipmunk answered, his tone seemed a little...envious?

Qi Le petrified on the spot, cracking and cracking.

Is he OUT yet?

It is obviously a fluffy dumpling, why is it so yellow and violent?

Waking up from the petrified state, he suddenly realized that his son was by his side, and hastily raised his paw, trying to cover the kitten's ears.When I lowered my head, I realized that the kitten had already huddled into a small ball, snoring from sleep.

Tai Sui was stretched into a thick sheet, half of which was placed under Qining's body, and half of which covered his body, which could not only ensure comfort but also isolate noise.

Fortunately, we were leaving for District [-] tomorrow, so the embarrassing topic for Father Cat didn't last long.The squirrels bid farewell and left one after another. Qi Le lay beside Qining, hugged the kitten into his arms, yawned, and soon fell asleep.

Tai Sui opened his eyes, his body elongated again, wrapping Qi Le and Qi Ning together.Looking at the snoring hair ball, Tai Sui was very satisfied, and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Qi Le moved his ears, feeling like he was back in the past, lying on the soft bed, covered with a soft quilt, sleeping very comfortably.

Under the pit, the adult ostriches gathered the young ostriches together, and when the young birds all fell asleep, the two parents kept vigil separately.In an unfamiliar land, it is natural to be cautious.

Black spiders occupied most of the bottom of the pit, and some even climbed onto the broken walls, drawing and weaving webs on the raised metal plates, which could not only guard against sneak attackers at night, but also allow them to sleep more comfortably.

Click, click, click.

A black spider crawled across the web and tapped its mouthparts at a rapid rate: Although the ostrich did not show any hostility, it was safer to weave a web.

click!

The black spider on the opposite side nodded its forefoot in agreement.

Ever since, the ostrich couple who were watching the night just took a nap, and when they opened their eyes, they found that there was an extra "white wall" in front of them.

"what happened?"

The two hurriedly woke up another pair of adult ostriches, and found a huge spider web stretched in front of them, separating the broken wall where the squirrel and Qi Le were resting.More than a dozen black spiders were lying on the broken wall, watching their every move.

Click, click!

The black spiders tapped their mouthparts at the same time. The biggest one pointed at the broken wall, then at the ostrich, and then hooked a length of spider silk attached to the web. Don't go over it lightly.

At the same time, another black spider pulled the spider silk and pulled down two vines, and there was a net bag under the vines, which was enough to hold all the small ostriches.

click!

If you don't agree, you can go up at any time.

Knowing what the black spider meant, the Ostrich couple thought it was acceptable and did not forcefully break through the spider web.

However, in order not to be underestimated by the other party, the male ostrich still flapped his wings, scorched the edge of the spider web with lightning, then raised his claws, and tore off the scorched black silk in twos and threes.

In such a tense atmosphere, it is obvious that a fight may break out at any time.The two sides did not play the cards according to the rules of the cards, and after a toss, they were relieved and slept quite peacefully.

The next day, Qi Le led Qi Ning out of the burrow, the Tai Sui was still in flakes, hanging on the kitten's back.Qi Le tried it himself, and it really doesn't weigh much.

He and the kitten's space button is full, and the weight will increase.It's not too hard to hold, but you can really feel the difference.

Tai Sui is completely different.

This made the cat dad start to wonder, where does this space exist? Is it really in the body instead of a different dimension?

The black spider has retracted its web.

The ostriches unexpectedly had a good night's sleep and woke up refreshed.

The squirrels discussed and decided that half of the chipmunks and the gray squirrels with strong fighting power stayed to guard the territory, and the rest went to District [-] with Qi Le.

Most of the black spiders stayed in the team, and only ten joined the team.

What surprised Qi Le was that they got along well with the ostriches.

What happened when he didn't know?

In the base, two soldiers jumped off the conveyor belt and sent the zombies caught during patrol into the laboratory.

Bad luck, failed to catch alive, and the body was half shattered by the laser cannon.Fortunately, the remaining half is still intact, so it won't be a waste of time.

A medical officer walked up to Elfa and handed out the recorder in his hand.

Seeing the above data, Alpha's color instantly turned dark blue.
