After the fog, I became a birdman
Chapter 90 The Dry Season
In the evening, Qi Jiang and Su Qing went out, and when they opened the door, their faces were covered by the wind and sand outside.
Su Qing fixed her windproof glasses, felt secure enough, then touched her mask, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no gap: "Brother Jiang, let's go."
Qi Jiang hummed, flew down the mountain with Su Qing, and asked by the way: "How many mutated animals did you feed yesterday? Did it go well?"
"It's going well." Su Qing pointed in one direction, "Half-fed the jelly, and marked it according to the color of the rainbow. The further you feed it, the bigger the jelly will be."
"Half? That's a lot." Qi Jiang smiled in surprise, and was about to say something more when his ears moved suddenly, and he stopped to look upstream.
Da da da!
Su Qing also stopped, and just as she was about to ask something, she heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.
His eyesight is better than Qi Jiang's. When he looks up, he can see billowing dust in the distance, covering the sky like a sandstorm. Such a big movement is unlikely to be produced by dozens or hundreds of mutated animals. .
"Strange, what's the matter?" Su Qing was puzzled, "Why does it look like many mutated animals are coming here?"
Qi Jiang couldn't hear the number from the sound of footsteps, only knew that there were a lot, and pulled Su Qing to fly home: "Go home first, and wait and see what happens."
He had a bad premonition in his heart, so he dared not go out.
The billowing smoke and the sound were still far away from them, and it would take some time to reach them. Su Qing and Qi Jiang stood on the edge of the cliff, frowning, listening to the sound of approaching footsteps, feeling a little nervous.
"By the way, I have to go find Jin Jin." Su Qing suddenly remembered what he forgot, feeling a little guilty, "I don't know if this child is hungry today."
It was agreed yesterday to deliver food to Jin Jin in the evening, but I forgot it in the end, and I just remembered it now.
"The mutated animals won't be here for a while, let's go and have a look." Qi Jiang also suddenly realized that Jinjin's place was a bit quiet today, and usually barked in the nest boringly, but today there was no sound at all.
The two flew over together, and first shouted outside, but did not get a response, then entered the cave suspiciously, and was startled by the pale golden giant egg that appeared inside with just one glance.
"This is Jin Jin?" Su Qing opened his mouth wide, "Why did it suddenly turn into an egg?"
He is very familiar with this egg, the pattern is exactly the same as Jin Jin's previous eggshell, but now it is magnified many times.
Qi Jiang walked around the egg and picked apart the unfinished Costin wings at the bottom of the giant egg. He also saw a pattern of covered eagle claws, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It should be the weapon to breed him." Now, judging by this posture, maybe he might transform into a monster in one fell swoop."
Now that the child is away, Su Qing finally dares to say what has been hidden in his heart: "It is strange to say that Jinjin and Shanshan are not short of food and drink at home, and it is not too late for these two children to mutate. They are mutating at birth, but after so long, other battle pets have weapons, but they don't."
Of course, as a parent, Su Qing was afraid that the children would feel burdened, so she would not ask in front of them, but she was also puzzled.
"Shanshan's mutation direction is very similar to yours, and Jin Jin has been by your side since childhood, is the mutation special?" Qi Jiang suddenly had a guess, "My dragon horn was also the green light on your chest back then. Perhaps Shan Shan and Jin Jin also benefited from the birth, but it’s not as obvious as me.”
Regardless of whether he really wants to grow horns in the future, Qi Jiang did benefit at the time, which is a fact that cannot be ignored.
"You mean, the seeds are also imperceptibly improving the things around me?" Su Qing followed his words and continued to speculate. After Qi Jiang nodded, he frowned again, feeling a little uneasy, "Then I have become Tang monk flesh?"
"So you have to find a way to control the seeds." Qi Jiang said uneasy, "Speaking of this, I always thought it was wood spirit power before, but seeing your mutation that night, the green light gave me the feeling It is more active than wood spiritual power, it should be the life force mentioned in the book. Your heart needs the protection of seeds, it is best not to let the energy of the seeds spread."
But Su Qing himself doesn't have wood spirit roots at all, and he doesn't feel the wood spirit power that Qi Jiang said in his body, and he doesn't know how to find such mysterious things as life force.
"We are far away from the crowd now, so there is no need to worry about this." Qi Jiang patted his hand, "Relax first."
This incident sounded the alarm for Su Qing, and there was one more thing he had to do afterwards, which was to find a way to control the energy of the seeds.
"It's really a wise move to move out." Su Qing was very glad that he didn't hesitate back then.
The footsteps outside were getting closer. Su Qing originally wanted to take Jin Jin home, but he couldn't move it. Qi Jiang tried to move it, but was hit by a red light that suddenly appeared on the eggshell.
It was a red light with fire spiritual power, not a golden light with Jin Jin's own gold spiritual power.
Thinking that Jinjin was hatched with Su Qing's feathers before, Qi Jiang is sure that he has benefited, and maybe he will have more fire abilities in the future.
Qi Jiang took out a dragon horn knife and slashed at the entrance of the cave to leave the knife's breath, first helping Jinjinquan to secure the site.
Su Qing remembered that Jin Jin liked his feathers very much in the past, so he took out the fluff he had replaced in the space and wanted to put it under the egg, but Qi Jiang grabbed his hand before squatting down.
"what happened?"
"You never gave me one." Qi Jiang was very dissatisfied with his partiality, "I can't let it go, these are all mine."
"But Jinjin likes it."
"I like it too." Qi Jiang resolutely refused to let it go, "Save it first, we will shed hair every day, and when we have enough, we will make our own nest."
Su Qing's eyes lit up, as if she thought it was a good idea.
Making a nest out of wings is too intimate, instinctively told Su Qing that this is something only a partner would do, so he didn't object, and put the fluff back together with a feeling of anticipation.
In fact, he doesn't have much fluff. Although the two of them shed hair every day, it may take until the year of the monkey to save enough to make a nest.
Thinking about it this way, Su Qing felt a little disappointed, and quietly glanced back at her own wings, her eyes sparkling slightly.
With so many feathers, it doesn't matter how many you pluck, right?
Qi Jiang didn't know Su Qing's dangerous thoughts at this time, if he knew, he would never mention anything about making a nest.
As time passed, the sky slowly darkened, and billows of dust came under the snowless mountains.
Su Qing looked at these thousands of mutated animals from afar, and took a deep breath: "Are they going to come to the Snowless Mountains or are they going to borrow a way?"
Qi Jiang looked at the lake at the bottom of the cliff that had become bigger due to the earthquake, and shook his head slightly: "It should not be an excuse."
As soon as the words fell, Su Qing uttered a sound wave, and the cry resounded throughout the Snowless Mountain Range, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.
Boo!
Just as Qi Jiang wanted to say that there were too many enemies, he first picked two young birds to deter the herd, but before he could say anything, Su Qing who was next to him gave a warning, which was too much.
The mutated animals on the outskirts of the mountains paused, but soon continued to follow the water vapor towards the main peak. Seeing this, Qi Jiang immediately followed Su Qing to express his opinion without waiting for anyone to show up.
Roar!
There was a thick roar, and the mutated animals paused again. You could see the fear in their eyes, but none of the mutated animals stopped, and they all scrambled to get a seat by the lake.
Soon, the quiet snow-free mountains became as noisy as a vegetable market. Numerous mutated animals fought for a good position by the lake. The few monsters did not need to fight, but each occupied one side. Mark your spot at the water's edge.
The smell of various marks was carried upward by the wind, Su Qing's eyes widened: "Brother Jiang, aren't these mutated animals too much? This is too dirty."
Can I still stay at home?
Qi Jiang's face darkened, and he took out the dragon horn knife: "Go, go down and occupy the territory."
Su Qing quickly glanced around the lake, nodded lightly, and flew down together with Qi Jiang. Before they arrived, the flaming thin arrow shot and killed a monster from two mountains away.
The monster that had just occupied its territory and had not had time to declare its sovereignty fell to the ground with a bang before it could even scream. Su Qing suddenly stood on top of the corpse, and with a gloomy expression, he issued a sound wave to swear his sovereignty.
Boo!
Bang!
Qi Jiang followed, kicked a monster flying, and the dragon horn knife directly decapitated it, and the sound wave also followed.
Roar!
The mutated animal by the lake lowered its head in horror, retreated in a surrendered gesture, and gradually gave way to a large area, giving way to the side under the cliff, which is one-third of the lake.
The remaining space is just enough to squeeze these mutated animals, and the latecomers who are far away from the snow-free mountain range have not yet arrived, so there is not enough room, so the mutated animals did not retreat any more, but roared at Qi Jiang and the two, It seems to say: This is the bottom line.
After they got out of the way, the air around them became much better. Su Qing and Qi Jiang looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't deal with so many mutated animals.
One-on-one, they are not afraid of anyone, the strongest monsters here are all new monsters, they can't even rank in Fengwai Mountain, they can barely be regarded as the fourth step, let alone fight them.
But there are too many mutated animals. If they are really in a hurry and swarm them, maybe their new home will not be needed.
People can run, but families can't, and Jin Jin is still in the critical stage of transformation.
Su Qing was dissatisfied and wanted to drive these mutated animals out of his territory, but reason told him that this was unrealistic.
Qi Jiang also knew that this was the best result, and if he continued to force him, something might happen.
He found the nearest two big stones, moved them to the border respectively, and left a few knife auras on them to warn the mutated animals: It's best not to go too far.
After finishing all this, Qi Jiang looked at Su Qing: "Let's go."
Su Qing drew his bow and shot two arrows towards the border, then turned around and flew home with Qi Jiang, stood on the cliff and shot an arrow towards the mountain where Jin Jin was.
He controlled his strength, so the flaming thin arrow did not pass through the mountain wall, but stayed at the gate of Jin Jin's house, and also left his breath as a warning.
With the aura of the two of them, there shouldn't be any mutated animals that don't have long eyes to disturb Jinjin, but Su Qing still can't rest assured, so he has been guarding at home, looking in the direction of Jinjin's cave from time to time, in case there is anyone who is not afraid of death The monsters go to steal the house.
At this moment, he had calmed down: "Brother Jiang, do you think the upstream lake has dried up?"
"Well." Qi Jiang thought it should be so, stretched out his hand and frowned, "I hope there are no sick animals with incubation period."
"I'm going to see if the mutated animals I marked are still there." Su Qing thought for a while before going out, "By the way, let's see what's going on outside."
He really doesn't understand, it's only a day, can these mutated animals have been discussed?Why did you come to his house suddenly?
Someone still needs to guard the house. Although Qi Jiang wanted to follow Su Qing, he knew the importance, so he could only nod his head and say, "Then be careful."
"Well, you should be careful at home."
As he said that, Su Qing flew out with the light hunting bow. When passing by the lake at the foot of the mountain, his eyes glistened coldly, and he continued to fly out with a cold snort.
He flew around the area, only to realize that the migrating army was divided into two groups, one was the mutated animals going to the Snowless Mountains, the number was very small, and the other was the mutated animals going downstream, the number was extremely large.
The mighty migrating army ran downstream, because there were snowless mountains blocking the way, so these migrating troops did not choose the road over the snowless mountains, but chose another direction with a smoother road, that is, from the snowless mountains Grasslands near the mountains migrate downstream.
There are several small and medium-sized lakes nearby, and the water in them is almost bottomless. Only a few mutated animals are still left behind, and the others have joined the migrating army.
The only thing that hasn't moved now is the mutated animals in the large lake.
After all, the mutated animals are smarter than the previous wild animals. The mutated animals that occupy the lakes below the large scale did not wait for the water to dry up before looking for new water sources, but prepared to strike first.
That is, they are going to occupy very large lakes.
There is only one super-large lake downstream, near the base, maybe there are more farther away, but most of the mutated animals will definitely stay near the base.
There will be a new battlefield.
Su Qing's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the mutated animals that were nearly a hundred times more than those on the snowless mountain range, and then looked at the billowing dust farther away.
There are so many mutated animals close to the snowless mountains, and there will be more upstream.
In the end, he still didn't go upstream, but turned his head and flew back, preparing to deliver the letter.
Qi Jiang watched him pass by and followed him curiously: "Susu, why are you back again...there are still migrating animals over there? So many?"
He finally found the migrating army in the other direction, and frowned: "What's going on? Something happened upstream?"
Su Qing explained all the discoveries just now: "The water in the small lake is about to dry up. They have to occupy the super-large lake first. The base is in danger."
Unable to go out during the day, these mutated animals run very fast in order to reach their destination at night.
They had already set off for a while, and the Snowless Mountain Range was only [-] kilometers away from the base. The vanguard of the wind system and speed might be arriving soon.
Qi Jiang didn't waste too much time, and after asking clearly, he flew home and waited for Su Qing's news.
As Su Qing thought, the target of these mutated animals was indeed the downstream base.
This also tells Su Qing that mutated animals are bullying and afraid of toughness, and they dare not bully you only if their fists are big enough.
Su Qing arrived at Fengcheng Base before the vanguard, brushed the ground and broke through the defense line of the flying patrol team, and shouted without looking back: "I am Su Qing, I have something important to ask Mr. Han!"
His voice was heard in the inner city, Mr. Han, who was still reading the account book, opened the window: "Consultant Su, this way!"
Su Qing didn't fly down, but spoke very fast and authentically: "Mr. Han, the small and medium-sized lakes in the upstream are almost dry, and more than [-]% of the mutated animals are moving downstream. They will occupy the super-large lakes twenty kilometers away. Be alert!"
"What?" Master Han's face changed drastically, "Why so suddenly?"
"They have their own ideas. The coast of the canyon and the base have come and gone many times. They already know where the base is. Now that the water level is dropping faster and faster, they are not wild animals without intelligence, and they will not sit still." Su Qing looked serious, " The vanguard is coming soon, so organize your defenses quickly, there are still many mutated animals entering the Snowless Mountains one after another, I will go home to defend first!"
After a pause, Su Qing turned around again: "By the way, the plague is spreading upstream, and some of the mutated animals may be in the incubation period. They are also very afraid of the plague, so we can use this to make a fuss."
After he finished speaking, he flew away in a hurry, and when he was halfway through the flight, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell Mr. Han about the silver jelly, but he didn't want to go back, so he didn't go back and talk about it.
The vanguard was a group of birds and beasts and some mutated horses. Su Qing brushed past them and exchanged glances with Qi Jiang at the passing house. Knowing that the house was safe, he continued to fly upstream.
There were more and more migrating animals on the road, and when Su Qing came to the place where he fed the jelly last night, he found that it was already empty.
All the mutated animals that could be moved here have been moved away, and many of the mutated animals it marked have disappeared.
Fortunately, he finally found a few weak mutant animals by the water, with the marks he left on their backs last night, and they were all red, indicating that the jelly these animals ate were the smallest pieces.
Although they are weak, the sickness in their bodies is much weaker, and they may recover after taking a few more medicines.
Perhaps because they really realized that the bit of jelly that Su Qing threw down was useful, several mutated animals screamed pleadingly when they saw him, but Su Qing had already run out of jelly, so he didn't stay here for too long.
Along the way, he saw that many mutated animals in the upper reaches were starting to move. In addition to the two migratory armies he had seen before going to the Snowless Mountains and the lower reaches, the smallest migratory team was heading to Fengwai Mountain one after another.
Su Qing could feel that these mutated animals were monsters.
In other words, Mount Fengwai will be even more dangerous in the future.
He was not in the mood to explore Fengwai Mountain, but was looking for the animals he marked in the migration team.
There were too many animals inside and the smoke and dust billowed, and it was difficult for Su Qing to distinguish which animals had marks on them. He followed the smallest migratory team to Fengwai Mountain, and from Fengwai Mountain followed the migratory army to the Snowless Mountains. None of the marked animals had more than two hands.
And these animals are the batch that ate the fastest jelly, and the others are gone.
Su Qing searched again, but couldn't find any animals marked with other colors, so he had to fly home first.
When passing by the lake at the bottom of the cliff, he took a few more glances at the mutated animals below. He could see that there were a little more animals by the lake now, and some of the animals who arrived first had even started to find places to make nests in the mountains.
The Snowless Mountains were left in a mess by them, and there were mutated animals in almost every place. Fortunately, there were no mutated animals on the main peak, and above the mountainside, Su Qing was finally able to find a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.
Back home, Qi Jiang was not at home, Su Qing subconsciously looked worriedly at the Jinjin Cave, just in time to see Qi Jiang flying back from there.
"Brother Jiang, is there a problem with Jin Jin?" Su Qing walked forward quickly, with a worried expression.
"No, I left a knife on the top of the mountain just in case, so that if there is any problem, we won't be able to get there in time." Qi Jiang was also afraid of encountering a mutant animal who didn't know the heights and depths of the sky, and if something went wrong, it would be too late.
Hearing this, Su Qing was also relieved, and told Qi Jiang what he had just gone out.
"Most of them are gone?" Qi Jiang frowned, "Did he recover? Or did he recover from a serious illness and left with the army?"
"Maybe it's the latter." Su Qing wasn't sure, and looked in the direction of Fengcheng Basin with some anxiety, "Now we can't go out for too long, what should we do about the jelly?"
"There are a lot of things at home now, and it's inconvenient to go out. Let the base try it yourself. We can provide jelly." Qi Jiang didn't bother to take his time.
"They also have mutants of the water system, and there are quite a few mutants of fish." Su Qing was afraid of being robbed, and was worried about Jin Jin, so he didn't want to go out at this time. The mountain is sick, let's go to the sea again."
"The bottom of the sea is deep, and ordinary people can't stand that kind of pressure, and they can't stand that kind of silent environment." Qi Jiang shook his head, not very optimistic about the mutants at the base, "We are mutated in a direction suitable for the ocean. I guess the jelly thing We have to do it."
"Let them try it themselves first. We can't do everything. There are a lot of mutated animals in the house, so there is no time." Su Qing sighed.
"Then I'll go to the bottom of the sea tomorrow to get some more jelly up, save some for our own research, and give the rest to the base." Qi Jiang naturally obeyed him.
Su Qing twirled her fingertips: "Go and talk to Mr. Han, I'm afraid I'll suffer again, so I won't go, just remember to bring Shanshan back when you come back."
"Row."
The matter was over, Su Qing saw that the mountain was still so noisy, and sighed inwardly.
It was getting late, and they couldn't go out, and they had enough sleep during the day, so Su Qing simply went to the kitchen to toss and eat.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the wind outside suddenly calmed down, and the mutated animals at the foot of the mountain roared in unison, with a hint of fear in their voices.
"What's going on?" Qi Jiang didn't understand. Seeing that Su Qing was tasting the taste, he wiped his hands. Afraid that he would have to change again when he came back later, he simply put on a fully enclosed raincoat, "I'll go out and have a look."
"It's a sandstorm coming." Su Qing's voice was tense, he felt the sandstorm approaching in the distance, "Hurry up and get the dragon horn knife back, and Jinjin's cave is also sealed, be careful."
"Sandstorm?" Qi Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried out to deal with this matter.
Below the mountain, all the mutated animals are hurrying to build their own shelters, and some are rushing to various mountain depressions to escape the sandstorm.
Huhuhu~
The wind and sand were rolling in the distance, Qi Jiang heard the sound of the sandstorm approaching, quickly blocked Jin Jin's cave with a few big rocks, and then flew home with his dragon horn knife.
The door of the house was quickly closed by him, and Qi Jiang began to check the doors and windows of the house. Halfway through the inspection, before the sandstorm arrived, the wind and sand started again outside.
The wind roared, and small pieces of stone were blown up by the wind and hit the doors and windows. Su Qing was glad that they had already replaced the windows with spirit crystals, which would not shatter like glass.
bang bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The wind was blowing from all directions, and all kinds of debris hit the doors, windows and corridors.
The front yard is fine, they paved the yard with stone slabs, and brought back all the things. The debris was blown from other places. Their home was high enough, and the sound stopped after 2 minutes.
The condition of the fence in the backyard was much worse than that in the front yard. The stones on the entire eastern slope hit the fence like bullets, leaving a patch of potholes.
Su Qing put a few pieces of new wood into the stove, went to the window and looked outside to see that the sky was covering the sun, and the yellow sand on the edge could not be seen at all.
Qi Jiang walked in while taking off his raincoat: "The doors and windows are closed tightly, and I have reinforced the vents."
"The sandstorm is coming soon." Su Qing pointed out, knowing that Qi Jiang couldn't see it, so he described it to him, "Several sandstorms, one after another, leaving only a small gap between each other."
"A ray of hope?" Qi Jiang's eyes flashed.
"It should be, grandpa said, Tiandao always likes to do this, just like my illness, there is always a chance of life." Su Qing shook his head with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the sandstorm had arrived, covering the entire snow-free mountain range in an instant. A stone slab in the front yard was lifted and smashed against the wall, making a loud bang.
Su Qing's eyelids twitched, and he took a few steps back. Qi Jiang stretched out his hand and pulled Su Qing behind him, saying in a steady voice, "Don't be afraid."
bang bang bang bang!
The terrifying wind lifted the stone slabs they had embedded in the ground and slammed them into the corridor. The anti-theft door was smashed and a piece protruded immediately, and other stone slabs followed, and several pieces of the anti-theft door protruded. The stone slabs from all angles are clearly printed, just like a painting.
The triangles made at the corners of the slate, the squares made at the front of the slate, and the protrusions at any angle.
The flat anti-theft door looked like paper, but it was broken immediately, and Su Qing was terrified to see it.
The wind blew in along the broken opening, and the small ornaments in the living room shook loudly. They were just dropped by the earthquake two days ago, and they will suffer again today.
"The door is broken." Qi Jiang cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly took boards and tools to block the door.
Su Qing also quickly ran to close the doors of other rooms, lest the things inside would be dirty if the wind blows in from the living room.
They opened doors in all directions from southeast to northwest for ventilation, and built many windows for lighting.
The windows are not made of glass, but it doesn’t matter now. In order to unify the style, they no longer used the windows they picked up, but made windows with stone, wood and earth crystals. Although the materials sound unreliable, they are actually Later, the products of the new world were much stronger than the anti-theft doors.
There were also quite a few stone slabs hit on the windows, but none of them broke as quickly as the anti-theft door. The comparison between the two was so tragic that Su Qing even suspected that the anti-theft door was made of paper.
The front door was hit by the door panel, the situation is the worst, the situation was worse before the sandstorm came, but now there is no big problem in the backyard,
Neither Qi Jiang nor Su Qing thought that the anti-theft door would be so fragile, and they hadn't made new wooden doors before, so they could only block the door with wooden planks.
Ding Ding Ding!
Piece by piece of solid wood was nailed to the door frame, and the outer stone panels were lifted up and hit on the anti-theft door again. The anti-theft door became thinner and thinner visible to the naked eye, and it was completed into a broken iron plate in just two rounds. It blew in along several openings, but Qi Jiang blocked them first.
Suddenly, the outside had already been beaten into a piece of broken iron plate. The anti-theft door brush was blown away, and the gap suddenly became larger. The strong wind mixed with sand and soil was blown in from the knee-high gap below, and the furniture in the living room was knocked over. , all kinds of cups, kettles and other things fell to the ground.
The difficulty of blocking the door instantly became the difficulty of hell. Qi Jiang cursed in his heart that the door was unreliable, but his movements were not slow. He took several wooden boards at once to block the gap tightly, and turned around and sat in the sand. Hold it with your back, and hand the hammer to Su Qing: "Susu, quickly nail the board!"
It was only when Su Qing started to nail how hard the board was, even the wall was so hard, he gritted his teeth and hammered with all his strength several times, but he couldn't drive the nail in. In the end, he could only take out the barebow and shoot with control. It took a few arrows before the nail was hammered in.
Half an hour later, the main entrance was finally blocked. The upper half of the boards looked very neat, while the lower half looked a little messy, but there was no gap left, and the living room finally returned to calm.
There was a small pile of sand in the living room, the air was very turbid, and all the furniture fell on the ground, making a mess like a garbage dump.
Even so, the two of them didn't have time to clean up, and went to block other gates non-stop.
At the same time, terrifying sandstorms also came to Fengcheng Base.
Su Qing fixed her windproof glasses, felt secure enough, then touched her mask, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no gap: "Brother Jiang, let's go."
Qi Jiang hummed, flew down the mountain with Su Qing, and asked by the way: "How many mutated animals did you feed yesterday? Did it go well?"
"It's going well." Su Qing pointed in one direction, "Half-fed the jelly, and marked it according to the color of the rainbow. The further you feed it, the bigger the jelly will be."
"Half? That's a lot." Qi Jiang smiled in surprise, and was about to say something more when his ears moved suddenly, and he stopped to look upstream.
Da da da!
Su Qing also stopped, and just as she was about to ask something, she heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.
His eyesight is better than Qi Jiang's. When he looks up, he can see billowing dust in the distance, covering the sky like a sandstorm. Such a big movement is unlikely to be produced by dozens or hundreds of mutated animals. .
"Strange, what's the matter?" Su Qing was puzzled, "Why does it look like many mutated animals are coming here?"
Qi Jiang couldn't hear the number from the sound of footsteps, only knew that there were a lot, and pulled Su Qing to fly home: "Go home first, and wait and see what happens."
He had a bad premonition in his heart, so he dared not go out.
The billowing smoke and the sound were still far away from them, and it would take some time to reach them. Su Qing and Qi Jiang stood on the edge of the cliff, frowning, listening to the sound of approaching footsteps, feeling a little nervous.
"By the way, I have to go find Jin Jin." Su Qing suddenly remembered what he forgot, feeling a little guilty, "I don't know if this child is hungry today."
It was agreed yesterday to deliver food to Jin Jin in the evening, but I forgot it in the end, and I just remembered it now.
"The mutated animals won't be here for a while, let's go and have a look." Qi Jiang also suddenly realized that Jinjin's place was a bit quiet today, and usually barked in the nest boringly, but today there was no sound at all.
The two flew over together, and first shouted outside, but did not get a response, then entered the cave suspiciously, and was startled by the pale golden giant egg that appeared inside with just one glance.
"This is Jin Jin?" Su Qing opened his mouth wide, "Why did it suddenly turn into an egg?"
He is very familiar with this egg, the pattern is exactly the same as Jin Jin's previous eggshell, but now it is magnified many times.
Qi Jiang walked around the egg and picked apart the unfinished Costin wings at the bottom of the giant egg. He also saw a pattern of covered eagle claws, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It should be the weapon to breed him." Now, judging by this posture, maybe he might transform into a monster in one fell swoop."
Now that the child is away, Su Qing finally dares to say what has been hidden in his heart: "It is strange to say that Jinjin and Shanshan are not short of food and drink at home, and it is not too late for these two children to mutate. They are mutating at birth, but after so long, other battle pets have weapons, but they don't."
Of course, as a parent, Su Qing was afraid that the children would feel burdened, so she would not ask in front of them, but she was also puzzled.
"Shanshan's mutation direction is very similar to yours, and Jin Jin has been by your side since childhood, is the mutation special?" Qi Jiang suddenly had a guess, "My dragon horn was also the green light on your chest back then. Perhaps Shan Shan and Jin Jin also benefited from the birth, but it’s not as obvious as me.”
Regardless of whether he really wants to grow horns in the future, Qi Jiang did benefit at the time, which is a fact that cannot be ignored.
"You mean, the seeds are also imperceptibly improving the things around me?" Su Qing followed his words and continued to speculate. After Qi Jiang nodded, he frowned again, feeling a little uneasy, "Then I have become Tang monk flesh?"
"So you have to find a way to control the seeds." Qi Jiang said uneasy, "Speaking of this, I always thought it was wood spirit power before, but seeing your mutation that night, the green light gave me the feeling It is more active than wood spiritual power, it should be the life force mentioned in the book. Your heart needs the protection of seeds, it is best not to let the energy of the seeds spread."
But Su Qing himself doesn't have wood spirit roots at all, and he doesn't feel the wood spirit power that Qi Jiang said in his body, and he doesn't know how to find such mysterious things as life force.
"We are far away from the crowd now, so there is no need to worry about this." Qi Jiang patted his hand, "Relax first."
This incident sounded the alarm for Su Qing, and there was one more thing he had to do afterwards, which was to find a way to control the energy of the seeds.
"It's really a wise move to move out." Su Qing was very glad that he didn't hesitate back then.
The footsteps outside were getting closer. Su Qing originally wanted to take Jin Jin home, but he couldn't move it. Qi Jiang tried to move it, but was hit by a red light that suddenly appeared on the eggshell.
It was a red light with fire spiritual power, not a golden light with Jin Jin's own gold spiritual power.
Thinking that Jinjin was hatched with Su Qing's feathers before, Qi Jiang is sure that he has benefited, and maybe he will have more fire abilities in the future.
Qi Jiang took out a dragon horn knife and slashed at the entrance of the cave to leave the knife's breath, first helping Jinjinquan to secure the site.
Su Qing remembered that Jin Jin liked his feathers very much in the past, so he took out the fluff he had replaced in the space and wanted to put it under the egg, but Qi Jiang grabbed his hand before squatting down.
"what happened?"
"You never gave me one." Qi Jiang was very dissatisfied with his partiality, "I can't let it go, these are all mine."
"But Jinjin likes it."
"I like it too." Qi Jiang resolutely refused to let it go, "Save it first, we will shed hair every day, and when we have enough, we will make our own nest."
Su Qing's eyes lit up, as if she thought it was a good idea.
Making a nest out of wings is too intimate, instinctively told Su Qing that this is something only a partner would do, so he didn't object, and put the fluff back together with a feeling of anticipation.
In fact, he doesn't have much fluff. Although the two of them shed hair every day, it may take until the year of the monkey to save enough to make a nest.
Thinking about it this way, Su Qing felt a little disappointed, and quietly glanced back at her own wings, her eyes sparkling slightly.
With so many feathers, it doesn't matter how many you pluck, right?
Qi Jiang didn't know Su Qing's dangerous thoughts at this time, if he knew, he would never mention anything about making a nest.
As time passed, the sky slowly darkened, and billows of dust came under the snowless mountains.
Su Qing looked at these thousands of mutated animals from afar, and took a deep breath: "Are they going to come to the Snowless Mountains or are they going to borrow a way?"
Qi Jiang looked at the lake at the bottom of the cliff that had become bigger due to the earthquake, and shook his head slightly: "It should not be an excuse."
As soon as the words fell, Su Qing uttered a sound wave, and the cry resounded throughout the Snowless Mountain Range, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.
Boo!
Just as Qi Jiang wanted to say that there were too many enemies, he first picked two young birds to deter the herd, but before he could say anything, Su Qing who was next to him gave a warning, which was too much.
The mutated animals on the outskirts of the mountains paused, but soon continued to follow the water vapor towards the main peak. Seeing this, Qi Jiang immediately followed Su Qing to express his opinion without waiting for anyone to show up.
Roar!
There was a thick roar, and the mutated animals paused again. You could see the fear in their eyes, but none of the mutated animals stopped, and they all scrambled to get a seat by the lake.
Soon, the quiet snow-free mountains became as noisy as a vegetable market. Numerous mutated animals fought for a good position by the lake. The few monsters did not need to fight, but each occupied one side. Mark your spot at the water's edge.
The smell of various marks was carried upward by the wind, Su Qing's eyes widened: "Brother Jiang, aren't these mutated animals too much? This is too dirty."
Can I still stay at home?
Qi Jiang's face darkened, and he took out the dragon horn knife: "Go, go down and occupy the territory."
Su Qing quickly glanced around the lake, nodded lightly, and flew down together with Qi Jiang. Before they arrived, the flaming thin arrow shot and killed a monster from two mountains away.
The monster that had just occupied its territory and had not had time to declare its sovereignty fell to the ground with a bang before it could even scream. Su Qing suddenly stood on top of the corpse, and with a gloomy expression, he issued a sound wave to swear his sovereignty.
Boo!
Bang!
Qi Jiang followed, kicked a monster flying, and the dragon horn knife directly decapitated it, and the sound wave also followed.
Roar!
The mutated animal by the lake lowered its head in horror, retreated in a surrendered gesture, and gradually gave way to a large area, giving way to the side under the cliff, which is one-third of the lake.
The remaining space is just enough to squeeze these mutated animals, and the latecomers who are far away from the snow-free mountain range have not yet arrived, so there is not enough room, so the mutated animals did not retreat any more, but roared at Qi Jiang and the two, It seems to say: This is the bottom line.
After they got out of the way, the air around them became much better. Su Qing and Qi Jiang looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't deal with so many mutated animals.
One-on-one, they are not afraid of anyone, the strongest monsters here are all new monsters, they can't even rank in Fengwai Mountain, they can barely be regarded as the fourth step, let alone fight them.
But there are too many mutated animals. If they are really in a hurry and swarm them, maybe their new home will not be needed.
People can run, but families can't, and Jin Jin is still in the critical stage of transformation.
Su Qing was dissatisfied and wanted to drive these mutated animals out of his territory, but reason told him that this was unrealistic.
Qi Jiang also knew that this was the best result, and if he continued to force him, something might happen.
He found the nearest two big stones, moved them to the border respectively, and left a few knife auras on them to warn the mutated animals: It's best not to go too far.
After finishing all this, Qi Jiang looked at Su Qing: "Let's go."
Su Qing drew his bow and shot two arrows towards the border, then turned around and flew home with Qi Jiang, stood on the cliff and shot an arrow towards the mountain where Jin Jin was.
He controlled his strength, so the flaming thin arrow did not pass through the mountain wall, but stayed at the gate of Jin Jin's house, and also left his breath as a warning.
With the aura of the two of them, there shouldn't be any mutated animals that don't have long eyes to disturb Jinjin, but Su Qing still can't rest assured, so he has been guarding at home, looking in the direction of Jinjin's cave from time to time, in case there is anyone who is not afraid of death The monsters go to steal the house.
At this moment, he had calmed down: "Brother Jiang, do you think the upstream lake has dried up?"
"Well." Qi Jiang thought it should be so, stretched out his hand and frowned, "I hope there are no sick animals with incubation period."
"I'm going to see if the mutated animals I marked are still there." Su Qing thought for a while before going out, "By the way, let's see what's going on outside."
He really doesn't understand, it's only a day, can these mutated animals have been discussed?Why did you come to his house suddenly?
Someone still needs to guard the house. Although Qi Jiang wanted to follow Su Qing, he knew the importance, so he could only nod his head and say, "Then be careful."
"Well, you should be careful at home."
As he said that, Su Qing flew out with the light hunting bow. When passing by the lake at the foot of the mountain, his eyes glistened coldly, and he continued to fly out with a cold snort.
He flew around the area, only to realize that the migrating army was divided into two groups, one was the mutated animals going to the Snowless Mountains, the number was very small, and the other was the mutated animals going downstream, the number was extremely large.
The mighty migrating army ran downstream, because there were snowless mountains blocking the way, so these migrating troops did not choose the road over the snowless mountains, but chose another direction with a smoother road, that is, from the snowless mountains Grasslands near the mountains migrate downstream.
There are several small and medium-sized lakes nearby, and the water in them is almost bottomless. Only a few mutated animals are still left behind, and the others have joined the migrating army.
The only thing that hasn't moved now is the mutated animals in the large lake.
After all, the mutated animals are smarter than the previous wild animals. The mutated animals that occupy the lakes below the large scale did not wait for the water to dry up before looking for new water sources, but prepared to strike first.
That is, they are going to occupy very large lakes.
There is only one super-large lake downstream, near the base, maybe there are more farther away, but most of the mutated animals will definitely stay near the base.
There will be a new battlefield.
Su Qing's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the mutated animals that were nearly a hundred times more than those on the snowless mountain range, and then looked at the billowing dust farther away.
There are so many mutated animals close to the snowless mountains, and there will be more upstream.
In the end, he still didn't go upstream, but turned his head and flew back, preparing to deliver the letter.
Qi Jiang watched him pass by and followed him curiously: "Susu, why are you back again...there are still migrating animals over there? So many?"
He finally found the migrating army in the other direction, and frowned: "What's going on? Something happened upstream?"
Su Qing explained all the discoveries just now: "The water in the small lake is about to dry up. They have to occupy the super-large lake first. The base is in danger."
Unable to go out during the day, these mutated animals run very fast in order to reach their destination at night.
They had already set off for a while, and the Snowless Mountain Range was only [-] kilometers away from the base. The vanguard of the wind system and speed might be arriving soon.
Qi Jiang didn't waste too much time, and after asking clearly, he flew home and waited for Su Qing's news.
As Su Qing thought, the target of these mutated animals was indeed the downstream base.
This also tells Su Qing that mutated animals are bullying and afraid of toughness, and they dare not bully you only if their fists are big enough.
Su Qing arrived at Fengcheng Base before the vanguard, brushed the ground and broke through the defense line of the flying patrol team, and shouted without looking back: "I am Su Qing, I have something important to ask Mr. Han!"
His voice was heard in the inner city, Mr. Han, who was still reading the account book, opened the window: "Consultant Su, this way!"
Su Qing didn't fly down, but spoke very fast and authentically: "Mr. Han, the small and medium-sized lakes in the upstream are almost dry, and more than [-]% of the mutated animals are moving downstream. They will occupy the super-large lakes twenty kilometers away. Be alert!"
"What?" Master Han's face changed drastically, "Why so suddenly?"
"They have their own ideas. The coast of the canyon and the base have come and gone many times. They already know where the base is. Now that the water level is dropping faster and faster, they are not wild animals without intelligence, and they will not sit still." Su Qing looked serious, " The vanguard is coming soon, so organize your defenses quickly, there are still many mutated animals entering the Snowless Mountains one after another, I will go home to defend first!"
After a pause, Su Qing turned around again: "By the way, the plague is spreading upstream, and some of the mutated animals may be in the incubation period. They are also very afraid of the plague, so we can use this to make a fuss."
After he finished speaking, he flew away in a hurry, and when he was halfway through the flight, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell Mr. Han about the silver jelly, but he didn't want to go back, so he didn't go back and talk about it.
The vanguard was a group of birds and beasts and some mutated horses. Su Qing brushed past them and exchanged glances with Qi Jiang at the passing house. Knowing that the house was safe, he continued to fly upstream.
There were more and more migrating animals on the road, and when Su Qing came to the place where he fed the jelly last night, he found that it was already empty.
All the mutated animals that could be moved here have been moved away, and many of the mutated animals it marked have disappeared.
Fortunately, he finally found a few weak mutant animals by the water, with the marks he left on their backs last night, and they were all red, indicating that the jelly these animals ate were the smallest pieces.
Although they are weak, the sickness in their bodies is much weaker, and they may recover after taking a few more medicines.
Perhaps because they really realized that the bit of jelly that Su Qing threw down was useful, several mutated animals screamed pleadingly when they saw him, but Su Qing had already run out of jelly, so he didn't stay here for too long.
Along the way, he saw that many mutated animals in the upper reaches were starting to move. In addition to the two migratory armies he had seen before going to the Snowless Mountains and the lower reaches, the smallest migratory team was heading to Fengwai Mountain one after another.
Su Qing could feel that these mutated animals were monsters.
In other words, Mount Fengwai will be even more dangerous in the future.
He was not in the mood to explore Fengwai Mountain, but was looking for the animals he marked in the migration team.
There were too many animals inside and the smoke and dust billowed, and it was difficult for Su Qing to distinguish which animals had marks on them. He followed the smallest migratory team to Fengwai Mountain, and from Fengwai Mountain followed the migratory army to the Snowless Mountains. None of the marked animals had more than two hands.
And these animals are the batch that ate the fastest jelly, and the others are gone.
Su Qing searched again, but couldn't find any animals marked with other colors, so he had to fly home first.
When passing by the lake at the bottom of the cliff, he took a few more glances at the mutated animals below. He could see that there were a little more animals by the lake now, and some of the animals who arrived first had even started to find places to make nests in the mountains.
The Snowless Mountains were left in a mess by them, and there were mutated animals in almost every place. Fortunately, there were no mutated animals on the main peak, and above the mountainside, Su Qing was finally able to find a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.
Back home, Qi Jiang was not at home, Su Qing subconsciously looked worriedly at the Jinjin Cave, just in time to see Qi Jiang flying back from there.
"Brother Jiang, is there a problem with Jin Jin?" Su Qing walked forward quickly, with a worried expression.
"No, I left a knife on the top of the mountain just in case, so that if there is any problem, we won't be able to get there in time." Qi Jiang was also afraid of encountering a mutant animal who didn't know the heights and depths of the sky, and if something went wrong, it would be too late.
Hearing this, Su Qing was also relieved, and told Qi Jiang what he had just gone out.
"Most of them are gone?" Qi Jiang frowned, "Did he recover? Or did he recover from a serious illness and left with the army?"
"Maybe it's the latter." Su Qing wasn't sure, and looked in the direction of Fengcheng Basin with some anxiety, "Now we can't go out for too long, what should we do about the jelly?"
"There are a lot of things at home now, and it's inconvenient to go out. Let the base try it yourself. We can provide jelly." Qi Jiang didn't bother to take his time.
"They also have mutants of the water system, and there are quite a few mutants of fish." Su Qing was afraid of being robbed, and was worried about Jin Jin, so he didn't want to go out at this time. The mountain is sick, let's go to the sea again."
"The bottom of the sea is deep, and ordinary people can't stand that kind of pressure, and they can't stand that kind of silent environment." Qi Jiang shook his head, not very optimistic about the mutants at the base, "We are mutated in a direction suitable for the ocean. I guess the jelly thing We have to do it."
"Let them try it themselves first. We can't do everything. There are a lot of mutated animals in the house, so there is no time." Su Qing sighed.
"Then I'll go to the bottom of the sea tomorrow to get some more jelly up, save some for our own research, and give the rest to the base." Qi Jiang naturally obeyed him.
Su Qing twirled her fingertips: "Go and talk to Mr. Han, I'm afraid I'll suffer again, so I won't go, just remember to bring Shanshan back when you come back."
"Row."
The matter was over, Su Qing saw that the mountain was still so noisy, and sighed inwardly.
It was getting late, and they couldn't go out, and they had enough sleep during the day, so Su Qing simply went to the kitchen to toss and eat.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the wind outside suddenly calmed down, and the mutated animals at the foot of the mountain roared in unison, with a hint of fear in their voices.
"What's going on?" Qi Jiang didn't understand. Seeing that Su Qing was tasting the taste, he wiped his hands. Afraid that he would have to change again when he came back later, he simply put on a fully enclosed raincoat, "I'll go out and have a look."
"It's a sandstorm coming." Su Qing's voice was tense, he felt the sandstorm approaching in the distance, "Hurry up and get the dragon horn knife back, and Jinjin's cave is also sealed, be careful."
"Sandstorm?" Qi Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried out to deal with this matter.
Below the mountain, all the mutated animals are hurrying to build their own shelters, and some are rushing to various mountain depressions to escape the sandstorm.
Huhuhu~
The wind and sand were rolling in the distance, Qi Jiang heard the sound of the sandstorm approaching, quickly blocked Jin Jin's cave with a few big rocks, and then flew home with his dragon horn knife.
The door of the house was quickly closed by him, and Qi Jiang began to check the doors and windows of the house. Halfway through the inspection, before the sandstorm arrived, the wind and sand started again outside.
The wind roared, and small pieces of stone were blown up by the wind and hit the doors and windows. Su Qing was glad that they had already replaced the windows with spirit crystals, which would not shatter like glass.
bang bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The wind was blowing from all directions, and all kinds of debris hit the doors, windows and corridors.
The front yard is fine, they paved the yard with stone slabs, and brought back all the things. The debris was blown from other places. Their home was high enough, and the sound stopped after 2 minutes.
The condition of the fence in the backyard was much worse than that in the front yard. The stones on the entire eastern slope hit the fence like bullets, leaving a patch of potholes.
Su Qing put a few pieces of new wood into the stove, went to the window and looked outside to see that the sky was covering the sun, and the yellow sand on the edge could not be seen at all.
Qi Jiang walked in while taking off his raincoat: "The doors and windows are closed tightly, and I have reinforced the vents."
"The sandstorm is coming soon." Su Qing pointed out, knowing that Qi Jiang couldn't see it, so he described it to him, "Several sandstorms, one after another, leaving only a small gap between each other."
"A ray of hope?" Qi Jiang's eyes flashed.
"It should be, grandpa said, Tiandao always likes to do this, just like my illness, there is always a chance of life." Su Qing shook his head with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the sandstorm had arrived, covering the entire snow-free mountain range in an instant. A stone slab in the front yard was lifted and smashed against the wall, making a loud bang.
Su Qing's eyelids twitched, and he took a few steps back. Qi Jiang stretched out his hand and pulled Su Qing behind him, saying in a steady voice, "Don't be afraid."
bang bang bang bang!
The terrifying wind lifted the stone slabs they had embedded in the ground and slammed them into the corridor. The anti-theft door was smashed and a piece protruded immediately, and other stone slabs followed, and several pieces of the anti-theft door protruded. The stone slabs from all angles are clearly printed, just like a painting.
The triangles made at the corners of the slate, the squares made at the front of the slate, and the protrusions at any angle.
The flat anti-theft door looked like paper, but it was broken immediately, and Su Qing was terrified to see it.
The wind blew in along the broken opening, and the small ornaments in the living room shook loudly. They were just dropped by the earthquake two days ago, and they will suffer again today.
"The door is broken." Qi Jiang cursed in a low voice, and hurriedly took boards and tools to block the door.
Su Qing also quickly ran to close the doors of other rooms, lest the things inside would be dirty if the wind blows in from the living room.
They opened doors in all directions from southeast to northwest for ventilation, and built many windows for lighting.
The windows are not made of glass, but it doesn’t matter now. In order to unify the style, they no longer used the windows they picked up, but made windows with stone, wood and earth crystals. Although the materials sound unreliable, they are actually Later, the products of the new world were much stronger than the anti-theft doors.
There were also quite a few stone slabs hit on the windows, but none of them broke as quickly as the anti-theft door. The comparison between the two was so tragic that Su Qing even suspected that the anti-theft door was made of paper.
The front door was hit by the door panel, the situation is the worst, the situation was worse before the sandstorm came, but now there is no big problem in the backyard,
Neither Qi Jiang nor Su Qing thought that the anti-theft door would be so fragile, and they hadn't made new wooden doors before, so they could only block the door with wooden planks.
Ding Ding Ding!
Piece by piece of solid wood was nailed to the door frame, and the outer stone panels were lifted up and hit on the anti-theft door again. The anti-theft door became thinner and thinner visible to the naked eye, and it was completed into a broken iron plate in just two rounds. It blew in along several openings, but Qi Jiang blocked them first.
Suddenly, the outside had already been beaten into a piece of broken iron plate. The anti-theft door brush was blown away, and the gap suddenly became larger. The strong wind mixed with sand and soil was blown in from the knee-high gap below, and the furniture in the living room was knocked over. , all kinds of cups, kettles and other things fell to the ground.
The difficulty of blocking the door instantly became the difficulty of hell. Qi Jiang cursed in his heart that the door was unreliable, but his movements were not slow. He took several wooden boards at once to block the gap tightly, and turned around and sat in the sand. Hold it with your back, and hand the hammer to Su Qing: "Susu, quickly nail the board!"
It was only when Su Qing started to nail how hard the board was, even the wall was so hard, he gritted his teeth and hammered with all his strength several times, but he couldn't drive the nail in. In the end, he could only take out the barebow and shoot with control. It took a few arrows before the nail was hammered in.
Half an hour later, the main entrance was finally blocked. The upper half of the boards looked very neat, while the lower half looked a little messy, but there was no gap left, and the living room finally returned to calm.
There was a small pile of sand in the living room, the air was very turbid, and all the furniture fell on the ground, making a mess like a garbage dump.
Even so, the two of them didn't have time to clean up, and went to block other gates non-stop.
At the same time, terrifying sandstorms also came to Fengcheng Base.
