Qin Ning's struggle

On the second day back to school, in the early morning, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and it rained heavily in an instant.

The rain became a waterfall, and the visibility was reduced, which made the hunting test a lot more difficult.

When they came to the preset venue, the chicks stood in line, and the cylinder robot slid by, distributing monitors and recorders.

"There is a list of prey in the recorder, and it must be completed as required, otherwise it will not be recorded in the score."

"You can act alone, or you can cooperate to round up."

"The hunting proceeds can be taken away by themselves. It can be agreed on by oneself, or it can be distributed by the system. If there is any dispute, it will be resolved at the training ground after the exam, and no hands are allowed in the middle."

"The hunting grounds are divided according to the dormitory area, and no crossing is allowed."

"Violation of any one of the rules is considered a disqualification."

After the Kestrel lecturer finished reading, the chicks immediately dispersed and entered the hunting ground in batches, each looking for prey.

The chicks in the first dormitory area are used to rounding up and are best at cooperation.

Qin Ning and the others were in the front, black geese and hawks were in the middle, and snow geese followed at the end of the team, not letting go of any traces left by the strange beasts.

"It's a deer print."

Heavy rains make hunting difficult.

The river surged, the forest became more muddy, and the originally clear clues became blurred.

After finding a few hoof prints, Qin Ning bent down to examine them carefully, but couldn't immediately tell what kind of deer they belonged to.

"I don't know what kind of deer it is. I can only confirm that there are a lot of them. Do you want to catch up?"

"Whose prey is a deer?"

About a third of the hundreds of chicks raised their hands.

"Horned deer."

"Horned deer."

"Mine is a sword deer."

"Okay, let's go."

In order not to disturb the prey, the crowd dispersed further.

"I'll go there first, and I have news to tell everyone."

After saying that, Qin Ning wiped off the rain on his face, spread out his light wings, and quickly flew into the air.

The two little swans wanted to keep up, but he immediately stopped them.

"In this weather, you are too conspicuous. Heiming will go with me."

There was no lightning or thunder, and the world was gray.

Honghu is born to be a luminous body, flying in mid-air is comparable to two stars, it is strange not to be discovered.

Bai Lan and Bai Xi were slightly disappointed.

From this point of view, in some cases, too bright feathers can also be a problem.

"Look!"

Flying into the air, the field of vision instantly widened.

About 500 meters away from the chicks, there was indeed a group of bent-horned deer.

Brown-black fur with striped brown markings.

There are two pairs of long horns on the top of the head, one pair bends forward in a spiral shape, and the other pair stands upright, with a cold light shining at the top, which is extremely sharp.

The stag is larger, with a white nose and a patch of fiery red hair on the forehead.The female deer is slightly petite, with four brown tusks around the mouth.

The curved-horned deer likes water, and is not affected by the heavy rain at all. It is gnawing on the tender grass with its head down.

"Five stags and more than 130 females. Strange, there are no fawns."

Normally, a herd of this size would not be without cubs.But Qin Ning and Hei Ming circled for a few weeks, searching around the herd of deer, focusing on the grass and bushes, but they never found any trace of the young deer.

"It doesn't look like it's hidden."

Hei Ming flapped his wings and said, "I heard from my father that the original star brought back a batch of strange beasts, and these deer are probably among them."

Yucheng has a rule that when hunting on the original star, it is not allowed to capture cubs.There are no fawns in the herd, that's the only explanation.

Qin Ning stood high on the treetop, looked down, and didn't say much.When he found movement around the herd of deer, he immediately signaled to Heiming.

"Look there."

"what happened?"

On the right side of the deer group, in the dense tall grass, several pairs of blood-red eyes flickered.

"Those are alien beasts?"

"It's a beast."

To be precise, it was a wolf-shaped monster that was poisoned by a small octopus.

"Look at the list!"

Hei Ming became excited, turned on the recorder, and found that there was such a beast, his eyes immediately lit up.

"One, two, three...eight, thirteen, sixteen, nineteen, twenty. A full twenty!"

"According to the test rules, one ferocious beast can be compared to three strange beasts." Turning over the recorder, Qin Ning said, "Catch the two groups below, and everyone can complete half of the task."

"You've made a lot of money!" Hei Ming flew close to Qin Ning, and rolled his eyes with a smile, "With Fenghuang, you will have good luck."

"Where did you hear that?"

"Mom said."

"..."

After discussing, Qin Ning stayed and watched closely, and Hei Ming returned to deliver the letter.

With the fledglings' current abilities, if they want to take down all the prey in one fell swoop, they must plan in detail and work in unison.

Time passed by, and another group of fierce beasts appeared in the grass.It looks like a tiger, with fangs protruding from its lips, like two sharp scorpions.

Qin Ning soon discovered that the target of the latecomers was not the herd of deer, but the wolf-shaped beast that was about to attack!

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?

Qin Ning frowned and quickly raised the height.

Seeing the ferocious beasts about to move, the herd of deer running away in panic, the whole plan was going to fail, so in desperation, he uttered a long cry.

Only by catching it by hand can there be achievements.

In the event of a scuffle, the herd of beasts would disperse and be killed or wounded, and at most they would serve as a few dinners, without even thinking about points.

"Hey——"

The sound of the phoenix singing was heard far away, and the chicks were immediately alerted that the situation had changed!

Bai Lan and Bai Xi flew up first, followed by black geese and hawks with hard feathers.The rest of the chicks picked up speed and walked through the forest, spreading a large net to prevent the prey from escaping from them.

"Hey——"

There was another long cry, and the mysterious light rose in an instant.

More than a hundred light arrows shot down from mid-air, without hurting the prey, only knocked down two dry forest trees, and cleared the tall grass for hiding by the way.

The deer with curved horns were close together, with their antlers facing outwards, and their front hooves stamped hard on the ground, trembling all over.

The beast lost its concealment and was shocked by Feng Ming, it didn't move at all, neither launched an attack nor turned around to run away.

The two swans arrived first. Needless to say, they worked together with Qin Ning to block all escape routes for their prey.

The arrows of light are like rain, and the phoenix cries unceasingly.

The alien beasts leaned closer, their legs trembling.The beast lay on the ground, unable to lift its head under the pressure.

If they can communicate, the two groups of ferocious beasts will definitely blow their hair and roar angrily: Kill as much as you want, what's the matter if you stop them and don't let them go? !

Swish arrows and explode close to the fur, which is more terrifying than being stabbed directly!

Are there any beasts!

After the black geese buzzard arrived, Qin Ning and the others put away their light arrows and swooped down from mid-air.

The beast shook its head, finally stood up, and roared loudly.

To be so aggrieved is to be a carnivore!

The roar shook the mountains and forests, and then... nothing more.

Feng Niao blocks the way out, Black Goose and Buzzard Eagle swarm up, Xue Goose helps to make up for the leak.Fifty ferocious beasts and more than 130 strange beasts were thrown into a pot on the spot, and they all fell down, and none escaped.

The hunting grounds in each dormitory area are separated from each other by barriers.

Qin Ning and the others gained something, which was immediately recorded by the monitor and entered into the system.

Outside the hunting ground, the lecturers stood in front of the virtual light screen and were all surprised to see the results of the chicks.

It's less than half an hour since the exam started!

"The first dormitory area?"

"They caught fifty beasts?"

"How did you do it?"

"Looking at the situation, it should be a cooperative roundup."

"That's amazing enough." A kestrel turned to look at the peregrine, "If it were you, would you be able to do it at your age?"

"I'm afraid not."

Too curious, the kestrel and the peregrine falcon successively applied to enter the hunting ground in the name of protecting the chicks.With the permission of the system, he immediately got up and flew away.

Gray Falcon was half a step behind, and could only leave the light screen alone, baring its teeth at the sky.

Grey Falcon doesn't show his power, if he is easy to bully, just wait for him!

As the test time passed, the rain gradually became lighter.

In the hunting ground in the first dormitory area, every time a herd of animals is found, the chicks will flock to it.Tie up the strange beast and throw it into the storage container.

"Not to kill?"

"As long as it is captured by hand, the system will count it as a score."

Qin Ning mentioned the two beasts, turned on the recorder, and the score really increased.

"There are so many, I can't finish it in one meal. It's a pity to kill them, it's better to take them back and raise them."

The strange beasts near the dormitory area are about to become extinct, and the number of ferocious beasts is also precarious.Relying solely on schools to replenish resources may not be able to satisfy everyone's appetite.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

With such good conditions, why not take advantage of them?

"that's right."

"Why didn't I think of that."

"If you raise it for a period of time, the meat will taste better."

"Just do it!"

The fledglings reached an agreement that in the next hunting action, they must be caught alive, and hunting should be minimized.Encounter a herd of beasts and immediately surround them, a few are not too few, dozens are not too many, all of them will be taken down, not a single one will be spared.

There are still 10 minutes before the end of the exam, and the task is overfulfilled.

"Go out or continue?"

"continue!"

"There are so many ferocious beasts, it's a pity not to catch them."

With the tips of their wings raised, the chicks were in high spirits and headed for the depths of the dense forest.

"There are a few fierce beasts ahead, everyone pay attention!"

"no problem!"

With the efforts of Qin Ning and others, the serious hunting test turned into a trip to reserve food.

Three phoenixes search for targets, and the buzzard is responsible for attracting attention.Black geese and snow geese circled behind their prey without making a sound, flapped their wings faintly, tied them up firmly, and lightly touched their fists, the work was completed.

Witnessing the audience, Kestrel and Peregrine were speechless for a long time.

This year's hatchlings, especially the group below, cannot be described with common sense.

In the following time, the chicks continued their efforts and hunted down twelve fierce beasts and 86 strange beasts.

More than half of the herd of beasts put into this hunting ground had been killed.If "overtime", it is also possible to catch all of them.

After the exam was over, the monitor sounded, and the kestrel and peregrine flew back to the forest.

When the barrier was lifted, the chicks were notified, and they were a little reluctant to leave, turning around every step of the way.

"I just spotted two horned deer, just behind that bush."

"What's that? Did you see that oak tree? There's a beast on it!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If you can get it back, three meals won't be a problem!"

"Pity."

"Yes."

"If there is another half hour..."

"Not at all, 15 minutes, no, 10 minutes!"

Thinking of the "lost" prey, Li Yang's heart ached.

When they walked out of the hunting ground, the chicks in the first dormitory area were very listless.The other chicks didn't know what was going on and felt strange.

"The task was not completed, and the exam failed?"

"With the Phoenix here, how is it possible?"

"What's that for?"

"You and I ask, who do I ask?"

The fledglings were full of puzzlement, and stepped forward to ask questions, lest they touch other people's pain points.I had no choice but to put away my curiosity and suppress my doubts.

After standing in line, the Kestrel lecturer connected to the control system, and the virtual light screen extended to both sides, giving the test results on the spot.

"Wow!"

As expected, the hunting test is purely a rewarding project, and all of them completed the task.

Seeing the scores, the fledglings were amazed at first, and then became more puzzled.

Sweeping the top 150, overcompleting the task, but everyone's face is full of depression, and there is no smile on the spot. What is going on?

During the lunch break, seeing Qin Ning and others setting up a fire, grilling fresh animal meat, and discussing the "breeding" plan of the beast with great interest, the chicks suddenly realized.

Thinking of the wasted time and the missed prey, I can't help but beat my chest and feel regretful.

Don't turn your head, regret it!

Driven by emotions, in the afternoon practical class, the chicks played super long, and they simply solved their opponents neatly and broke out of the virtual space.

Behind them, there were insect corpses everywhere, a mess, and two hills were flattened.

The lecturers looked at each other, for the first time, without making any comments.

That night, the chicks had enough to eat and drink, and went back to their houses to rest.

Qin Ning spread out the feathers and lay down for a long time, but he never felt sleepy.

Simply sit up and open the literature to read.

Halfway through the reading, the black bracelet on his wrist trembled slightly.The white light diffused, and the trading interface suddenly opened.

"Pante?"

Qin Ning was very happy to see his old friend.

"The operation was successful?"

"Yes. We got Link."

"Great!" Qin Ning put away the documents and asked concerned, "Are you and Meng Qi all right?"

"we are doing well."

Sensing Qin Ning's friendliness, Pan Te couldn't help smiling.

"That praying mantis was unlucky. When it encountered a trade between the Orange Domain and the Blue Domain, the two starships were destroyed on the spot. It tried to pretend to be dead and escape, but was stopped by us. It is currently locked in the Gray Domain."

"What are your plans for the future?"

What will happen to Link, you don't need to think about it, Qin Ning doesn't want to mention it.Instead, ask Panter if interstellar trade will continue.

"Too long-term plan, not yet. This contact, I hope to ask for your help to do another conversion trade."

"And Pit Green?"

"Yes." Pante put away his smile, took out the list he had made, and said, "I want to buy another batch of weapons."

"What do you want these for?"

After quickly scanning the list, Qin Ning looked at Pante puzzled.

Not to mention the type, the quantity is twice as much as the last transaction!

"I'm going to the Black Domain."

"What?" Qin Ning suspected that he heard it wrong, "Are you going to the Black Region?"

"Yes."

"That's too dangerous."

"I know."

Pante lowered his expression, opened the button-shaped recorder, and a transport ship appeared in the light.

"This is a merchant ship that was plundered by the Zerg."

Several youths wearing Qingyu costumes with bright smiles stood on the bow deck of the ship, they were strangely lively.

"They are my people, they were all captured by army ants."

Qin Ning opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

After the light disappeared, Pante clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice: "There are more crew members, and no images are left behind. I'm very scared. Sooner or later, I will forget their appearance..."

"Pant, I'm sorry."

Pante shook his head with a smile, and said hoarsely: "I want to take them home, no matter how dangerous it is. So, I must go to the black domain, please help me!"

"What's your plan?"

"I made a deal with Link." Calming down, Pant said, "He took me to March Ant Lord to find out the whereabouts of the crew, so I won't kill him."

"If you are discovered, it will be very difficult for you to escape." Qin Ning revealed a worried expression.

"I know." Pant was already prepared for this.

"Mengqi's people are willing to help and provide me with a cloaking device. The trader will protect the host, and I will definitely survive!"

Pan Te's eyes were firm, and he had already made up his mind, and he would not change it easily.

Qin Ning didn't try to persuade, quickly copied the list of weapons, opened the trading system, located the coordinates, and contacted Viper actively.

"Did you catch that bug?"

Piqing was having dinner, swallowed a large piece of barbecue meat whole, and his neck quickly swelled up.Hearing the news from Qin Ning, the snake letter stuck out and licked his lips, obviously very happy.

No matter how many times she met him, Qin Ning still couldn't adapt to his way of eating.

"Yes."

After briefly explaining Pante's plan, Qin Ning put forward an order request.

"He needs a lot of weapons, ideally simple to detonate, no launcher required."

"I have all of these." After swallowing another piece of roast meat, Viper Qing said in a deep voice, "However, I doubt that he can really escape safely."

A unicorn goes to the black field alone, and it is difficult to get out of it unscathed.

"Would you like to help him if given the chance?"

"Of course." Piqing didn't hesitate, "He's a nice guy, always has the best seasonings."

"I have a way, maybe I can save him."

"Oh?" Piqing became interested, "Tell me about it."

"This matter is not easy to handle. It needs a detailed plan." Qin Ning said, "Pante is still waiting, why not trade weapons first, and I will explain in detail later."

"it is good."

Piqing moved very quickly. According to the list given by Qin Ning, it was prepared in the shortest possible time, and it was packed and sent to the trader.

"This is fresh beast meat, just hunted today." In the hunting test, Qin Ning gained a lot.The whole ferocious beast was given, without any distress.

Pi Qing is very satisfied with the type and freshness of the food.

Regardless of other considerations, it is indeed a pleasure to do business with the Yu Clan.

After the goods were counted, Qin Ning did not rush to contact Pant, but leaned closer to the screen and said, "To rescue Pant from the black area, we need to carry out a conversion trade."

"How to do it?"

"You and me, plus Link. And more self-destruct weapons."

As Qin Ning narrated, Du Qing kept spitting out snake letters.

At the end of the hearing, the pupils turned into two thin lines, and the corners of the mouth opened, revealing a pleasant but terrifying smile.

On the other side, Pant waited for the appointed time and immediately started the trading system.

"The goods are all here."

Without further ado, Qin Ning opened the alloy box and showed the results of the transaction.

"Piqing said that these don't need a launcher, and can be detonated by a heat source. It should be noted that the detonation interval is very short, so be sure to pay attention to safety."

"I will remember." Pan Te nodded, and took out more than ten wooden boxes, filled with seasonings and gems, plus two cloaking devices, "Meng Qi asked me to give this to you."

"give me?"

"Thank you for your continued help."

It is strange to say that the level of starship manufacturing in the gray domain is not high, but the cloaking device developed is the top of the seven domains.Even Blue Domain has no better alternatives.

Putting away the goods, Qin Ning said seriously, "There is one thing I hope you can agree to."

"If it can be done, I will definitely agree."

"After arriving in the Black Territory, temporarily keep Link alive. Before you leave, you must not let him die."

"Why?" Pante looked up in astonishment.

"This is about your life, please trust me."

Pan Te looked at Qin Ning seriously, making sure that the other party was not joking, and finally said, "I believe in you."

"Then, next, let's talk about my plan..."

In the lower right corner of the transaction interface, the debt amount scrolls rapidly, changing every second.Qin Ning didn't care, and explained all the details in detail to ensure that nothing was missed.

"You have to prepare the storage device, try it in advance, and then contact me."

"it is good!"

Panter clenched his fists hard, and his voice was powerful.

If the plan is successful, not to mention escaping the danger himself, it will help the crew to avenge and let the group of Zerg die without a place to bury them.

At the end of the discussion, Qin Ning specifically told Pante to delay the departure time, preferably until next month.

"I'm a junior host, and the number of transactions I can take the initiative to open is limited."

In order to avoid changes midway, arrangements must be made in advance.

"I understand." Pante said gratefully, "If I can come back, I must visit you in Lanyu!"

"Aren't you afraid of the Yu clan?"

"I'm afraid. But I have to go." Pante's mood improved, and he joked, "Even if I go to your table, it won't hinder our friendship."

Qin Ning didn't know what expression to make.

The humor of the cosmic era, the jokes are really a bit scary.

The white light disappeared, and the room returned to tranquility.

Qin Ning lay on the bed, thinking that he would not be able to fall asleep.I never expected that I would fall asleep as soon as I touched the pillow, and I would sleep until dawn.

The light rain pattered and fell all night.

In the early morning, the sky cleared.

Qin Ning walked out of the wooden house and stretched his waist vigorously.

Today's fighting test, whether you can get rid of the fate of swallowing zero eggs, the key lies in this one action, we must redouble our efforts!
