Chapter 88 An unexpected incident

Just when Xu An was feeling uncomfortable, Song Ke interrupted him: "It's OK, much better than what I bake, but not as good as what Sister Qu Tong bakes."

Song Ke used clean chopsticks to remove half of the meat from the fish tail, and handed the fish bone and the remaining half to Qu Tong.

Qu Tong shook his head and refused.

Song Ke handed it back to Xu An, and joked, "Sister Tongtong, you eat so little, no wonder you are so slim."

Qu Tong was speechless.

Xu An naturally sat on the ground next to the two of them and started eating fish.

After eating and drinking, everyone continued to move forward, full of energy.

But I was not so lucky this time. After searching for a day and a half, I still couldn't find the herbs I needed.

No wonder only three plants of this herb called star grass are required. Everyone doubts whether there is such a herb on this planet.

"Let's rest for a night and search for half a day tomorrow. If we still can't find it, we can only give up this task. It will be futile to keep searching. Does anyone have any objection?" Liu Hang put forward his idea and solicited everyone's opinions.

"I have no objection. We are all fine." The mercenary captain was the first to speak out.

The others usually trust Liu Hang and agree.

Everyone set up camp in an open area. Qu Tong once again took out the nutrient solution and energy fruits and distributed them to everyone, then he got up and walked into the woods.

"Sister Qu Tong, where are you going?" Liu Hang called out to Qu Tong.

Qu Tong did not hide it: "I'll go to the back to find the source of this fragrance."

They smelled it when they arrived. There was a faint floral scent in the air. If Qu Tong guessed correctly, there were osmanthus trees in this forest.

"Then I'll go with you." Liu Hang also smelled it and suggested.

"I'll go too." Xu An looked at Liu Hang warily, fearing that he might still have evil intentions.

Liu Hang: “…”

"No need, I can go by myself. I'll just walk around nearby, not far." Qu Tong directly rejected both of them.

"No, that won't work. How can a weak woman like you go out alone? Why don't you let Song Ke go with you?" Liu Hang no longer insisted on following.

Song Ke: I was offended.

But even though he was speechless, Song Ke still agreed: "Then I'll go with Sister Qu Tong, and the men should step aside."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Qu Tong didn't refuse, and Xu An sat back.

Qu Tong released his mental power to perceive and quickly determined the direction.

"Wow! This osmanthus tree is so big. Although it is a mutant, the fragrance remains the same." Song Ke stood under the osmanthus tree and looked up.

There is a circle of shade under the osmanthus tree so there are no other plants. The ground is covered with fallen osmanthus flowers. Occasionally, small flowers will fall when you stand under the tree. The fragrance in the air is rich but not pungent.

Because Song Ke was away, Qu Tong couldn't use his supernatural powers, so he could only pick a few osmanthus flowers and prepare to go back and use his supernatural powers to plant them in the yard.

Song Ke also folded some.

Suddenly, Qu Tong paused while picking flowers: "Not good!"

Song Ke was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Qu Tong didn't have time to explain, and said simply: "Go back first, something happened."

As he spoke, he headed back. Although Song Ke was confused, he followed Qu Tong closely and hurried back.

By the time they returned to their base, the atmosphere was already tense.

"How could it be?" Song Kewei opened her mouth in disbelief.

It was not yet completely dark, but the ferocious eyes of a dozen mutant wolves were already glowing with a faint green light, and the saliva in their mouths was thick and disgusting.

The wolf that had undergone the interstellar mutation was more than twice as big as the wolf Qu Tong had seen in his previous life. Each strand of its hair was black and hard like a needle, and its claws were sharp like hooks.

In the interstellar world, mutated animals are collectively referred to as star beasts, because the wolves in history textbooks do not have two heads, and some have even completely deviated from their original prototypes.

It is a high-level star beast, to be more precise, a level seven star beast with S-level strength.

F-SSS correspond to levels 1-9 respectively, and those above level 7 are collectively called high-level star beasts, which are not something that these students can easily deal with.

For example, Liu Hang, although his physical level is S, his strength is only level 5, and he needs continuous training to reach level 7.

At the same level, humans are obviously weaker than the huge star beasts.

In their team, only the mercenary captain has the mental strength and power to deal with the high-level mutant wolves.

But it is obvious that there is more than one high-level mutant wolf in the wolf pack. Judging from the appearance of the three slightly larger ones in front, they are all high-level mutant wolves.

Song Ke also summoned a mecha and worked with Liu Hang to deal with a high-level mutant wolf.

The mercenary captain dealt with a high-level mutant wolf alone, while several A-level mercenaries in the team held one back together.

The rest was managed by the remaining people.

The battle was extremely dangerous, but they had no choice but to go ahead.

Xu An quietly retreated to Qu Tong's front and solemnly instructed him, "Take out the protective weapons I prepared for you. Try to hide behind us and don't expose yourself alone."

"Okay." Qu Tong responded, and obediently took out the protective soft armor from the space and put it on his body, and loaded the pistol.

Qu Tong's mental power spread out, paying attention to the entire battle situation.

They had sent out a distress signal as soon as possible, but the nearby troops might not be able to arrive in time.

Soon, Qu Tong's side was at a disadvantage and two of their men were injured.

The sharp fangs of a mutant wolf were about to bite one of the men's arms. It was likely that the entire arm would be taken away by this bite.

“Bang!”

Gunshots rang out, and the mutant wolf was injured in one eye and moved away from its position. The mercenary member also saved his arm and crawled back, not forgetting to say thank you to Qu Tong.

"Go!" Qu Tong pushed the man out and rolled to the side.

The mutant wolf missed its target and turned its gaze towards Qu Tong. With blood flowing from one of its eyes, it looked even more ferocious.

Qu Tong half-knelt up and fired two more shots.

The first shot was a feint, the second shot was the real one, hitting the good eye.

The mutant wolf lost its vision and rushed around frantically. Two people came up to kill it.

Using the same method, Qu Tong and other teammates cooperated to solve two more problems, freeing up people to help elsewhere.

Those who previously thought that Qu Tong’s weak constitution would not be of any use have completely changed their minds about Qu Tong.

However, Qu Tong's pistol had run out of bullets.

Qu Tong threw the empty gun back into the space button and moved to a safe place.

Just at this moment, one of Liu Hang's team members was slapped away by the mutant wolf. When he fell to the ground, the sound of crisp bones breaking could be heard.

The mutant wolf pounced on him, and the man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but his right leg was already disabled and he couldn't move.

Qu Tong frowned, waved his hand, and used a green whip to snatch the person from the mutant wolf's mouth.

"Thank...thank you!" Xie Ci lay on the ground in a mess, enduring the pain in his legs and thanking Qu Tong with difficulty.

"Thank you!" He Zhou, Xu An and another person teamed up to deal with the mutant wolf and surrounded them.

The intermediate mutant wolves, which were originally more difficult to deal with, were the first to be eliminated.

However, the situation with the high-level mutant wolves is not optimistic.

The mercenary captain's mecha was severely damaged and its movements became sluggish.
