Qin Ning's struggle

On the tenth day back to school, the chicks who failed the exam were punished, and their study life was back on track.

In the common language class and the starship knowledge class, the three little phoenix birds still dominate.The classroom test firmly occupies the top three, and it has a considerable distance from No.4.

Hunting lessons keep shrinking in time.

Kestrel Instructors announced that this interim course will be canceled shortly.

The reason is that the chicks have mastered the skills, whether they fight alone or cooperate with each other, they can catch enough prey, and the success rate is as high as [-]%.In addition, there is not enough prey in the forest, so if you continue to catch it, it is too late to make up for it.

Based on the above circumstances, it is really necessary to cancel this course.

The chicks expressed dissatisfaction.

The number of fierce and exotic beasts in the dormitory area is limited, and the hunting class is the only way to "earn extra money".So it's cancelled, where can I find supper and snacks?

There was a lot of opposition, and Principal Bai Falcon made a decision. As a compensation, the departure time of the transport ship was shortened from two months to half a month.

Every fifteen days, when the chicks leave school and return home, a large number of exotic animals will be released in the dormitory area as rations for the next short semester.

The difficulty of the actual combat class gradually increased, and the chicks cooperated with each other, and the results were still satisfactory.

Volcanic lava, crustal movement, glacial invasion, starship explosion, all kinds of adult birds feel thorny challenges, and they are placed in front of the chicks one after another.

As a result, not a single chick flinched.

Having experienced the dangers of volcanoes, with curly hair on his head, his face is still full of excitement.It means that the next time you encounter a similar environment, it will definitely take less time.

"What's a volcano, what a glacier!"

Of course, for the sudden escalation of the actual combat environment, the fledglings didn't accept it completely, and they didn't have any temper.

As a feedback, every fighting class has a fledgling challenge instructor.It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, you must let the other party know your attitude!

The three of Qin Ning were still sitting on the bench.

After the fighting test, after several practical lessons, the three of them made rapid progress.Against adult Falcons, the winning rate is over 90.00%.Except for peregrine falcons, kestrels and gray falcons are no match.

The control system is adjusted in time, and the combat effectiveness of the three is re-evaluated based on the results of each class.

Assessed out, challenging the lecturer becomes impossible.

No matter how many games you win, the score is still zero.If there are too many times, you will be warned not to approach the ring.

Xiaofengniao was very sad.

Those who are the same age will not succeed, nor will those who are older. Do you really want to live in single digits until you graduate?

The lecturer of the Falcon family was also helpless.

The news spread outside the school, and the sisters from different nests sent messages. Next time they will be transferred, they must go to the training ground to meet.

Holding the communicator, more than one lecturer burst into tears.

Young birds are afraid of sisters, so is it true that adult male birds are not.

Not counting this, peregrine falcons and kestrels with spouses are beaten by their wives every day.

The euphemistic name is to increase physical strength.

The kestrel and the peregrine falcon became brothers and sisters, and the gray falcon secretly let out a long sigh of relief.It seems that it is not a bad thing to be regarded as not strong in combat.

As the days passed, Qin Ning concentrated on her classes during the day and was busy hunting at night.With the help of the little octopus, the number of fierce beasts in the storage container reached nineteen, and the number of strange beasts exceeded thirty.

"It can't be cooked now, it must be kept intact."

To prevent the little octopus from swinging the knife, Qin Ning covered the poisoned and fainted horned deer with one hand, and put it in the storage container.

Holding Qin Ning's calf, the basketball players opened their eyes wide, puzzled.

With so much fresh food, instead of cooking it right away, do you have to keep it all?

Qin Ning doesn't eat meat, so they have no bones.

After careful calculation, since leaving the crater, I have only eaten two meals of fresh bones, and the rest are stock.Although you don't have to worry about your stomach, you have to change the taste, right?

"Endure it for a few days, these are of great use to me."

Carrying out exchange trade with Pit Green, rescuing Pant, and then sending him to Grayland will consume a lot of energy, and the debt will also achieve a leap, reaching an astronomical figure.

Mental preparation alone is not enough, and practical actions are necessary to successfully complete the entire transaction.

Grabbing a few blue balls, letting the other party wrap around his upper arm, Qin Ning flew up with wings and flew over the treetops, looking for the next target.

The moon was shining brightly, and the stars twinkled in the sky.

The black figure passed one ancient tree after another, and flew close to the stream flowing in the forest.

It falls silently, hides in the dense canopy, activates the cloaking device, and waits for the prey to appear.

Two days ago, Qin Ning passed this creek and found footprints of strange animals, many of which were recently left.After consideration, I decided to lurk in the middle of the night and wait for the rabbit.

Searching around in the woods, if you are not careful, you will scare away the prey.Wait here patiently, maybe there will be more gains.

This decision was made out of necessity.

As he grows taller and stronger, Qin Ning will always unconsciously exude deterrence.The same phenomenon appeared on the two little swans.

Phoenix in his youth often encountered such situations.

The power is too amazing, it is like a walking weapon, and it can feel threatened even a hundred meters away.

Qin Ning tried to control it, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect.If the emotion is aroused and the black totem appears, the deterrence becomes stronger.

When the first signs appeared, Hei Ming and Hong Xiang were frightened to death, and they still have lingering fears.

The more beautiful things are, the more terrifying they are, which has been regarded as the most reasonable saying by Black Goose.

On the last rest day, Qin Ning asked Bai Jue, and the answer he got was simple: "It will be fine when you grow up."

Wanting to continue to ask, the person was hugged into his arms and started a new round of feeding.

Qin was unable to complain about this.

Now, the only way is to overcome the difficulties as much as possible, find ways to restrain the breath, hide the traces, and not scare the prey away.

Easier said than done.

A dozen or so strange beasts approached the water source, and they were 400 meters away. They were inexplicably frightened, spread their hooves, turned around and ran away.

The concealment strategy failed, Qin Ning had to give up the plan, turn off the cloaking device, and catch up with the fastest speed.

During the pursuit, Qin Ning maximized his speed and agility.The wings of light fluttered like a black lightning, passing through the dense branches and leaves, so fast that it was impossible to catch traces.

About 50 meters away from the herd, Chaoshou threw six small octopuses.

The blue ball jumps among the branches, spreads its tentacles, and quickly rushes towards the target.

The few long-horned deer who fell last were hit one after another, their skin was cut open by the sharp blade, paralyzed by the venom, their limbs were weak, foaming at the mouth, and they fell to the ground one after another.Struggling to stand up made the venom work faster.

Quickly put away the booty, Qin Ning continued to chase forward.

On the way, they encountered black geese and snow geese caught at night, and cooperated with each other to take down half of the deer herd.

The long-horned deer that escaped by chance ran all the way until the depths of the dense forest, before daring to stop to catch its breath.It's a pity that there are two fierce beasts waiting for them, their fangs and claws gleaming coldly, they are already very hungry and thirsty.

The black geese and snow geese counted their prey, and Qin Ning only had one, and the rest did not move.

"The breeding season of deer is coming soon, and it is stipulated that they cannot be caught within three months."

Hei Ming mentioned the two female deer and advised Qin Ning to accept them.

"The lecturer sent a forbidden hunting list, and half of the animals are on it. In about five days, this forest will not be allowed to come in casually." Xue Shan added.

"However, the fish in the lake have grown and we can catch them."

Thinking of the smell of grilled fish, the chicks couldn't help swallowing.

Within the seven domains, the primitive organisms collectively grow towards giants, and the growth period is extremely short.

Take the lake fish as an example. They were almost extinct before, but they swam in groups at the bottom of the water in less than two months.Similar to moonlight crabs, it takes more than 20 to [-] years to grow, which is really rare.

Perhaps because of this, it can produce rich nutrition and become an indispensable food for chicks.

It is definitely a great misfortune for moonlight crabs to receive such "treatment" because of their slow growth.

At Black Goose's insistence, Qin Ning accepted the three long-horned deer.To express his gratitude, after the hunting was over, Heiming and others were invited to have a supper.

The fragrant barbecue smell wafts out, attracting more chicks.

Supper turned into a dinner party.

Two hours later, the barbecue was completely eaten, and most of the bones were left by Qin Ning.

The needs of the baby octopus must be taken care of.

Otherwise, it will become a strike of dried octopus, and three meals will inevitably become a problem.

The bonfire was extinguished, and the chicks dispersed one after another.

Qin Ning returned to the wooden house. After washing up, he buried himself in his feathers, rubbed himself comfortably, and soon fell asleep.

In the actual combat class the next day, the chicks in the first dormitory area became more and more brave.

Ignoring the high temperature in the desert, he beat the poisonous scorpion giant ants, destroyed three ant nests, and sliced ​​a piece of sandstone flat.

When looking for water sources, kill five or six adders.The head of the snake alone is the size of a millstone, and the body of the snake is straightened, instantly killing all the giant pythons.

Seeing the snake's body turned into light and shadow, Hei Yuan and Hong Yuan were full of pity, and expressed classic emotion: "It's a pity that I can't eat it."

With black lines all over his head, Qin Ning dug up the roots of the tree and took out the knots that store fresh water.

After supplementing with fresh water, the chicks continued to move forward, crippling all the way.

When encountering a sandstorm, it blew a few times excitedly, flapped its wings and rushed forward, and Radu couldn't hold it back.

In less than two hours, everyone passed the upgraded version of Desert Survival with ease.

The last chick found the communicator and successfully left the virtual space, 10 to [-] minutes before the stipulated time.

Seeing the results given by the system, Peregrine Falcon remained silent for a long time.

If this continues, the two-year course will come to an end in eight months.

After the actual combat class, Bai Jue contacted Qin Ning and told the latter that he would leave the city for a few days.

"I can't pick you up on rest days, but I can go to Bai Yan if I have something to do."

"it is good."

"After returning to the city, I have a gift for you."

"Gift?"

"Temporarily confidential." Bai Jue blinked and smiled.

"..."

After finishing the communication, Qin Ning sat cross-legged on the bed, patted his cheeks, stabilized his heartbeat, and planned to continue reading the literature.

As soon as he turned on the recorder, the black bracelet on his wrist suddenly trembled.

After confirming the coordinates and opening the trading interface, Meng Qi appeared on the screen.

"My friend, I have something to confirm with you."

"what's up?"

"You persuaded Violet Green to help, and help Pante escape from the black domain?"

"Yes." Qin Ning didn't deny it, and said sternly, "Pante is my friend, and I won't let my friend die in vain."

There was some uncertainty in Meng Qi's expression.

"I believe you, but the other party is a snake clan, I am really worried."

"worry about what?"

"Unicorns were once the prey of the Serpents."

If Pant escapes successfully, he must arrive at the purple domain first.

In the middle of the process, will Piqing suddenly become hungry, become aggressive, and eat on the spot?

Meng Qi's worries are not unreasonable.

The food chain is brutal.

Feathers are at the top, snakes are in the middle, and mammoths and unicorns are at the bottom.

For the latter two, Pit Green is equally dangerous.

"I thought about this, so I told Pante to prepare the most advanced storage device."

After Qin Ning's brief explanation, Meng Qi's worries were finally reduced a bit.And made up his mind to help Pant search for the storage device to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the middle.

"I want to thank you." Qin Ning said suddenly.

"Thank me?"

"Those two cloaking devices. After using them a few times, I want to take them apart and have a look."

"Take it apart if you want, it's not worth anything. If you need it, I can trade you a few more."

Meng Qi smiled honestly, and even pointed out Qin Ning's dismantling skills, not worried about technology leaks at all.

Gray Domain can make the best cloaking device, all thanks to a special material.

The technology of the blue domain and the black domain is far superior to that of the gray domain. It is because of this reason that no similar equipment can be made today.

"wait for me a while."

Qin Ning jumped out of bed, quickly left the wooden house, and went to the forest to collect ripe berries as trade goods.

"This fruit is very sweet."

After receiving the berries, Meng Qi was very happy.

Encountered insect infestation, the planet is in the recovery period, and the land is mostly used to plant saplings and grains, and there are not many such wild fruits.

After the two completed the transaction and said goodbye to each other, the white light was put away.

Qin Ning lay on the bed, holding up several Rubik's Cube-sized devices.

After looking at it for a while, I couldn't hold it back. According to Professor Meng Qi's method, I disassembled one piece.

Like the Qingyu race, the things made by the mammoth have a very ethnic style.

Simple, rough, without too many fine details.

After going through the scattered parts and reassembling it twice, Qin Ning found it hard to believe that such a simple thing would be the best cloaking device in the Seven Domains.

"Could it be related to the material?"

That's probably the only way to explain it.

What kind of material is it and which part is stored in it, Qin Ning has no intention of exploring.

In the final analysis, he was just out of curiosity and didn't want to really imitate it.Moreover, if it can be easily detected, the secrets of the materials in the gray domain will not be preserved to this day.

After another three days, finally came the day of Pante's departure.

The gorgeous Serpentine starship, fitted with state-of-the-art cloaking devices, has been repainted and rendered inconspicuous.

Link was taken out of the detention center, still tied up, and sent to the bridge all the way.

"I will contact you when I arrive in the Black Territory."

Pan Te stood in front of Meng Qi with a resolute expression.

"If there are crew members alive, I will bring them home. If... I will also send the bones back."

Pressing Pan Te's shoulder hard, Meng Qi gave the greatest support as a friend.

The elephant shrew drove the aircraft and sent more than 20 robots to the bridge.

Pant insisted on going alone, and he did not want his friends to take risks for him.

Meng Qi discussed with the elephant shrew, reprogrammed the housekeeping robot, and went to the black domain instead of them.

"Be careful with everything."

"I will."

Before entering the hatch, Pant extended his sincerest thanks to the mammoth and the elephant shrew.

Moved, the mammoth and elephant shrew raised their noses and sprayed Pant with cold water.

The star field culture is surprised, this situation is inevitable.

"Take care of yourself!"

Shaking his head and flicking the water droplets, Pant saluted again, turned around and boarded the starship.

The hatch closed and the engine roared.

The mammoth and the elephant shrew stayed where they were, watching the starship pass through the atmosphere, praying silently, hoping that the plan would be successful and Pant would return safely.

When the starship leaves the gray domain, it needs to pass through the orange domain, blue domain and red domain along the way before reaching the border of the black domain.

After being caught, Link's storage device and trading device were all confiscated, and he almost starved to death.Nearly passed out on the bridge during the space jump.

"I want to eat."

Leaning against the transparent wall of light, Link dropped his tentacles, seemingly dying.

"You promised, I will lead the way for you, and you won't kill me."

Seeing Pante frown, Link struggled to sit up and added, "You're looking for the crew, right?"

"so?"

"If they are alive, I can take you to the prison of army ants. If they are dead, I can help you find the bones."

"Why didn't you say that before?"

"Because I'm not sure if your words are true or not. If you lie to me, what difference does it make?"

Link slightly raised his tentacles, trying to appear as sincere as possible.

"Give me something to eat, and I will take you to find them."

"If you lie, I will make you pay."

Panter opened the storage container and threw Link's things into the cage.

Finding that the trader was not among them, Link's eyes flickered, but he didn't ask any questions on the spot.

The starship moves fast.

After passing through the three star fields, he did not encounter too much trouble.Only encountered a small piece of meteorite belt on the way, spent more than half of the energy mine to escape.

Link stayed on the bridge obediently, and seized all the time to eat.

Pant leaned back on the command chair and remained motionless for a long time.Regardless of the appearance, it is almost the same as a robot.

After eleven space jumps, the starship finally reached the edge of the black field.

At this time, quite a while had passed since Pant left the gray domain.

"The main planet of the ant tribe is in the ninth city, and the army ants live scatteredly on six planets. The ant colony I work with has an ant nest built on the second planet."

Link was very conscious, and quickly explained the situation without waiting for Pante to ask questions.

At first, he made up his mind to sell Pante to the ant tribe immediately after reaching the black domain.It's just that he didn't expect Pan Te to search for his transaction device, but he didn't know where it was hidden.

Without a space-time trader, any resurgence and restoration of status are all lies.

Therefore, he needs patience.

Wait until you take back your own things, and then settle accounts with this unicorn!

The starship turned on the cloaking device and quietly approached the planet Link pointed to.After passing through several space stations, they were all lifeless, without any signs of life.

During Link's arrest, a war broke out between the army ants and the spear ants for the five energy stars.The ant colony came out in full force, evenly matched, and both sides suffered losses.

Black ants and fire ants join forces to make a profit.

When the warring parties came to their senses, most of the ant nests were destroyed, and the queen was almost killed.

In a rage, the army ants and the spear ants retaliated in a melee.

The momentum was so great that it scared away all the neighbors nearby, and no one dared to approach the Ninth City District.

It was really lucky for Pant to choose to sneak into the black domain at this time.

In several consecutive battles, the ant colony suffered astonishing casualties.Not only to guard the ant nest, but also to protect the safety of the planet, there is a serious shortage of manpower.

The queen ant ordered to shrink the defense.

The space stations seen along the way, except for a few were captured, most of them were voluntarily abandoned.

No space station means less trouble, and the infiltration plan goes smoothly.

The starship flew to the Marching Ant Lord, hiding outside the atmosphere, looking for a chance to land.

"Millions of years ago, the vegetation on this planet died, the oceans dried up, and the land was completely covered by deserts. There was no water source on the surface, and the army ants could survive thanks to underground rivers."

Link was finally released from the prison, but his forelimbs were still bound and he couldn't move freely.

"This continent is near the pole, where army ants drop their bones. Your crew is probably here."

In fact, the site is a garbage dump for army ants.

Even if there is no awareness of environmental protection, in order to protect precious water sources, the places that should be paid attention to cannot be ignored.

All leftover bones and useless starships were discarded in separate areas.After accumulating to a certain amount, it will be transported to the garbage star by the starship.

The whole process can take as little as ten years or as many as hundreds of years, depending on the number of ant colony members.

Link can conclude that Panter's crew is dead.In order not to irritate the other party, choose your words carefully, let alone dare to speak directly.

"Then go here."

"Wait." Link stopped, "The starship will be spotted by worker ants immediately. Is there a small shuttle cabin?"

In order to retrieve the transaction device, Link spared no effort.

The starship was handed over to the robot to drive, and the two boarded the shuttle cabin, and with the help of the cloaking device, they entered the atmosphere without incident.

Since the target was small enough, the ground tower did not pay much attention.

Again Panter's luck.

In recent times, broken wreckage and meteorites have been falling every day.

The army ants are busy taking care of the young ants, and they will be nervous for a while at first, so they immediately send someone to check.Up to now, it's no surprise.Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to break into the ant nest, just catch and eat them.

The shuttle capsule lands accurately to the pole.

The hatch opened, and instead of a glacier, there were bones piled under your feet.

Link got off the boat first, and Pant walked behind him.

After confirming that there were no army ants nearby, Pant took out the detector and began to search for the bones of the crew members based on the input data.

He had harbored a faint hope that the crew would still be alive.

However, as the detectors sounded one after another, the bones were found one after another, and the last hope was shattered.

For five full days, Pant did not eat or drink, and found one hundred and three bones.Half of them have been incompletely put together, and there are still jagged marks on the broken leg bones.

Link was always on the sidelines, neither offered to help, nor sneaked to deliver a letter to the army ants.

After finding the last crew member, Pan Te opened the transaction device with red eyes, and contacted Meng Qi who was waiting anxiously.

"I've found it." The voice was hoarse, as if it had been ground by sandpaper.

"Are you OK?"

"fine."

After rubbing his face vigorously, Pant said, "Proceed according to the original plan."

All the bones were collected and put into special wooden boxes.

White light flashed, the wooden box disappeared, and several huge alloy boxes appeared in front of the two of them.

"what is this?"

Link suddenly had a bad premonition.

"What do you say?"

Pante sneered, pressed the control panel, and the alloy box opened automatically.

The palm-sized flying device was activated, hung a terrifying self-destruct weapon, and flew across the desert, looking for every nest of army ants.

Aircraft are equipped with cloaking devices.

Only the gray domain race can be so generous.

When the first loud noise came, Link immediately understood that from the very beginning, Pant didn't want to let him go.

He was even thinking that this unicorn had no intention of leaving the Black Territory alive at all!

If there is such a big commotion, the army ants will definitely find out.

It doesn't matter if he courts death, he will also be regarded as an accomplice!

"You broke your promise!"

"Break the promise?" Pante sneered, "Where did you draw the conclusion?"

"I……"

Link was speechless.

It's true that Pante didn't do anything, but he couldn't survive if he attracted the army ants!

"This is back to you."

Pant opened the storage box and threw the trader to Link.

"I kept my promise and didn't kill you with my own hands. Whether you can survive depends on your own luck."

There were explosions one after another.

The ant nest issued an alarm, and the soldier ants were dispatched immediately.

Amidst the loud noise, dazzling beams of light diffused out, forming a terrifying giant net, covering the entire planet.

The light beam is like a steel knife.

Any ship trying to get in or out would be torn to shreds immediately.

Panter drops Link and activates more weapons.

Mengqi, who has completed the transaction, is positioning the coordinates of Viper Green to convey the signal for the start of the plan.

Link knew nothing about all this.Concentrate on collecting bones and supplementing system energy.

Before the army ants arrive, it is necessary to ensure that the transaction device can be turned on.

Only in this way can we ensure our own safety.

With the temper of the army ant, even if he caught Pan Te, the other party would not listen to his explanation.

Halfway through the collection, the system suddenly prompted that a host initiated a transaction with him.Link didn't want to pay attention, but the screen kept flickering.After closing it twice, the opponent persevered and positioned again.

Later, it even affected the speed of collecting bioenergy.

Link had to click on the trading interface.

After a burst of white light, Piqing spit out snake letters and appeared in front of him.
