The strongest talent

After leaving the cave where Qiqi was hiding, Yuan Qing did not go directly to the Tanggu base. Instead, he first turned back about fifty kilometers to the south, and then turned to the northeast. After this large circle, he avoided interacting with the group to the greatest extent. people meet.

The blizzard in the danger zone has never stopped, and has weakened somewhat compared to a few days ago. Since the catastrophe, the global climate has changed, and such weather is very common in winter. Although it has entered the second half of the first lunar month, the temperature here is still very low. It is around minus 20 degrees most of the time. It is only slightly warmer at noon.

Yuan Qing carried Qiqi on his back and walked through the mountains and fields, moving forward cautiously. After arriving at the predetermined location in the south, he started walking to the northeast.

"Yuan Qing." After walking less than five kilometers, Zhinao's voice rang in his mind: "Nine hundred and thirty meters ahead, there is a dormant mutated beast. The life breath is not strong, only the third level.

Yuan Qing was shocked.

After entering the cold winter, few mutant beasts were active outside. Most of them went into caves or hibernated in their nests. There were also some evil birds that flew to the south in groups. Their living habits were very close to those of ordinary animals before the cataclysm.

In the current blizzard weather, unless it is a cold-resistant species on the extreme northern ice sheet, it is really difficult to see a mutant beast.

"Qiqi, your wish will come true soon." Yuan Qing turned to look at Qiqi, who was wrapped in a quilt behind him, and smiled slightly: "I will catch a big monster for you and grill it for you!"

Qiqi's big black eyes lit up instantly.

Although he has walked fifty kilometers after leaving the cave, Yuan Qing's speed is not very fast, and it is not a straight line. He usually chooses tall dense forest areas and obstacle areas with changing terrain, trying to make use of the terrain and snow-covered roads. The big tree blocks the view and avoids being discovered by those mysterious pursuers.

Ground tracking is easy to handle, but what really needs to be watched out for is their high-altitude exploration. The two shuttle fighters were circling like crazy over this dangerous area. Yuan Qing had seen it from a distance several times. Zhinao even discovered that among them On a shuttle, the sixth-level grandmaster was sitting!

Stopping and going in circles like this, Yuan Qing walked the seemingly short fifty kilometers for three full days, and did not reach his current position until noon on the fourth day; and high in the sky, the two shuttle fighters Finally, it never appeared again. Judging from the situation, it seemed that they had given up tracking and had already reached their base.

For three days, Yuan Qing and Qiqi ate combat rations. Of course Yuan Qing was fine, but although Qiqi didn't say anything about it, every time she ate, it didn't taste very good. She only ate a little bit, barely feeling hungry. . It was obvious that this child did not like to eat this kind of food. Although the high-heat and high-energy paste tasted good, it would not taste good after eating it for several days.

"Brother, what kind of monster are you trying to catch?" Qiqi's face was full of excitement. Just as she said it, she corrected her seriously: "No, my dad told me that those on land are called mutant beasts, and those in the sea are called sea beasts. Some very special ones are called monsters!"

Yuan Qing was slightly startled.

Mutated beasts and sea beasts are all normal names, but "monsters" are not mentioned in the smart watch database or in the textbooks of the Evolver Academy. Usually, monster is just a general term. Who is Qiqi's father? Is he just teasing Qiqi, or has he really come into contact with other species?

"The mutated beast I want to catch is right there." Yuan Qing shook his head, suppressed the thoughts in his mind, pointed to a large piece of withered grass covered with snow in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's hiding under the grass. Come on, I'll kill it first, lest it rush out and scare you."

After saying that, Yuan Qing's mind moved, and the Blood Tiger Sword inserted in the quilt behind his back flew out with a whoosh, drawing a dark red stream of light in the air, and plunged into the ground. In Yuan Qing's senses, the Blood Tiger Sword broke through the surface defense of this third-level mutated beast, like cutting through a piece of paper, and easily penetrated into the body, wreaking havoc along the bones.

Under the decaying grass, the sleeping mutated beast did not even fully wake up, but was cut off by the Blood Tiger Sword. All the vitality in the body was cut off. There was only an inconspicuous small wound on the body surface. In fact, the internal organs, blood vessels, including the head, were all damaged. He was shattered into pieces by the Blood Tiger Sword and died in a few seconds.

"It's actually this thing." Yuan Qing stepped forward and dragged out the body of the third-level mutant beast.

Its body is more than three meters long and less than two meters tall. It is dim yellow with bright fur and three forked tails. It looks like an enlarged version of a fox; in fact, it has its own in the database. The exclusive name is called the three-tailed raccoon wolf. It is a new species produced by the hybridization of mutated beasts, which is relatively rare.

"Qiqi, we are lucky. Its meat tastes very good - I have never eaten it before, I heard from others." Yuan Qing laughed, holding the blood tiger sword, cut off the left front leg of the three-tailed raccoon wolf and peeled it off bones, cut into fist-sized pieces of meat, washed the white snow on the ground, gathered the surrounding withered grass, and lit a bonfire.

At this time, Qiqi had been put down by Yuan Qing and was gathered around the campfire. Her little face was flushed red by the heat wave, and her face was filled with anticipation.

"That is to say, the snowstorm is relatively light now. If the wind is strong, it will not be easy to eat barbecue." Yuan Qing holds the hilt of the sword and barbecues. The high temperature generated by the flame is transmitted from the sword body, and is easily blocked by the psychic shield on the surface of the palm. Basically can't feel it.

After grilling the front side for a while, Yuan Qing turned his wrist to grill the back side. After a while, the surface of the meat showed a light brown color, and drops of golden fat seeped out from the depths of the meat, flowing along the texture of the meat, and some were transferred. Entering the bonfire below, light green smoke instantly appeared, and the air was filled with an extremely rich smell of meat.

"Yuan Qing, there is something I must remind you." In his mind, Zhinao's voice suddenly sounded: "Try not to do things like this with children in the future. I know you are very kind, but you have to know that once you encounter If you are in mortal danger, you cannot bring Qiqi into the laboratory with you. As the sole successor of Wuyuanxing civilization, you must learn to always put your own life safety first."

Yuan Qing said nothing.

Everyone knows that life is precious, but some things must be done. There is something more precious than life, called affection. When they were chased by the Hongdu Group, the reason why they are still alive today is that the team members blocked each other's bullets and blocked the pursuers... Their friendship will always be remembered, and the Hongdu Group's great hatred will never be forgotten!

"Qiqi, it's time to eat." Yuan Qing put away his thoughts and waved the barbecue a few times in the wind and snow. The heat on the surface quickly converged, and the temperature of the barbecue dropped. You can eat it quickly without worrying about burning your hands.

Although I had prepared a few packets of flavoring agents in the laboratory when I left Qingyuan Base, it was a pity that they had all been used up in the days before. Moreover, even if there is any leftover, it cannot be taken out under Qiqi's nose. This child is too smart and might be able to guess something. If word spreads, it will be really big trouble.

The three-tailed raccoon wolf was quite big. Yuan Qing only cut off part of its left front leg, and the roasted meat was enough for two people to eat. Qiqi just took a small piece, held it in her hand and ate it in small bites. Her face showed obvious satisfaction, her eyes were extremely bright, she didn't speak while eating, and she looked very well-behaved when eating.

"Well, it tastes good." Yuan Qing took a bite. The barbecue was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It was fragrant but not greasy, and had a great taste. No condiments are used, but it is still very tasty, and the tendons inside are very chewy, far from being comparable to combat rations.

Qiqi ate less and Yuan Qing ate more, but they both finished almost at the same time. Qiqi picked up the snow from the ground, washed her two little hands clean, looked at the body of the three-tailed raccoon wolf next to her, and pouted: "What a pity, big brother, you don't have space storage, otherwise If so, we can take the meat with us and no longer have to eat such unpalatable rations."

Yuan Qing was washing his hands with snow. His movements couldn't help but froze slightly, and his heart beat a few times faster.

Space storage is a high-tech product that has only appeared in recent years. It is very expensive. It can even be said that it has a price but no market. It is not available on the Qingyuan black market. The Jinsha Gang is in the material business, and I have not heard that they sell it. Things that cannot be obtained through ordinary channels.

Qiqi's father actually has a space memory, his status is definitely very high, and he is not short of money. No wonder Qiqi has such a good tutor, is smart, and very knowledgeable... Her family background is by no means simple.

"No, that's not right!" Yuan Qing's heart suddenly shook as he looked at Qiqi with a face full of regret in front of him.

The sneak attack team killed everyone in the trading valley, but did not take away the supplies there. It searched the dangerous area and mobilized all the troops. I have never been guilty of this force before. Their real target is-Qiqi. They are chasing Qiqi, and they even dispatched a sixth-level grandmaster for this. The forces chasing her will never stop easily!

"Qiqi, we can't stay here anymore." Yuan Qing moved quickly, wrapped Qiqi in a quilt again, carried it tightly behind his back, and continued to rush towards the Tanggu base in the northeast amid the snow.

About two hours after the two left, a medium-sized shuttle fighter flew by high in the sky. In the cabin, the observer stared closely at the real-time monitoring scene on the display screen, and his eyes suddenly narrowed: "An abnormality was found. There are mutated beast corpses on the ground below, someone is camping nearby, and there are traces of a campfire!"

"Huh?!" In the cabin, a fifth-level spiritual warrior immediately raised his smart watch and quickly sent a message: "Report, here is a team, Nighthawk 2. Coordinates X3352, Y2019, traces of bonfire found, please instruct."

About a few seconds later, the low voice of the sixth-level grandmaster came from the smart watch: "With your coordinates as the center, we must search every corner, and we must not let go of any clues. My mission Failure is not allowed, and I now suspect that the big burden on the young man who escaped is very likely to be the target of our mission—Qiqi!"

"Yes!" The fifth-level spiritual warrior cut off the communication, thought for a while, and pointed to the south: "Fly a hundred kilometers south, then return to this coordinate, and then search eastward!"
