Vol 3 Chapter 9: A little excited

I walked cautiously in the forest for nearly an hour, carefully inspecting the traces on the ground and surroundings, and found nothing that could be determined to be the "special smell".
But since he could smell the smell clearly, it was impossible to leave no trace.
Xiang Kun paused, closed his eyes, and reconstructed the scenery he had just seen nearby, supplemented by information such as sound and smell.
He even tried to use the special cognitive model of Little Apple, relying solely on smell to build the environment.
Although he has not yet fully grasped the cognitive model of Little Apple, it is not possible to use her cognitive model to build a cognitive model at any time. But maybe his nerves are too sensitive to that special smell, so sensitive that it can abandon the influence of other sensory information, so this time using a small apple in the brain to build cognition, the effect is good.
A few minutes later, Xiang Kun opened his eyes, took a few steps back, put the compound bow in his hand back on his body, put the arrow back into the quiver, then hugged a tree, and planted it on the horizontal branch within two seconds. , Looks more neat than a monkey.
Xiang Kun searched for a while, then locked a leaf and pulled it off, closed the nose and took a hard breath, then tore the leaf from the middle, observing its texture, and licked the torn place.
After a while, Xiang Kun stuffed the torn leaves into a pocket of overalls, took a few more pieces, and jumped directly from the tree.
Following the smell, Xiang Kun walked for a while, picked some leaves, wildflowers, and some weeds. Before picking, he would take out his phone and take a photo.
At first glance, these leaves, grasses, and flowers are nothing special, but Xiang Kun is now quite sure that the special smell comes from them - or the various plants around.
But it is amazing that the special smell comes from only a part of these plants, such as a part of the branches, such as one or several in the same grass, such as one or several in several flowers.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Kun had always felt that the smell should have been left by the mutant creature when he passed by, so he suspected that the mutant creature was probably not too far away, or left behind such as wreckage after eating, after fighting. The traces and so on.
If it hadn't been for Little Apple's cognitive model to reconstruct the surrounding environment in his brain based on that special smell, he would probably not be able to discover this so quickly.
After all, the smell is too weak, it doesn't seem to come from those plants directly, and the plants themselves also emit a normal smell.
Xiang Kun had previously thought about whether there would be mutated plants, but judging from the three examples of himself, the giant owl, and Guo Tianxiang, fresh blood is the most important and indispensable thing for their mutated creatures. "Food", and plants have no blood.
However, it now appears that there is no blood itself, which does not mean that it cannot "suck blood". The mutant creatures may not be limited to animals.
But this mutant plant is also very strange. It is not the whole plant, but only a small part. Can't it be that only a small part of it has mutated? And Xiang Kun didn't believe that in such a small area, there would be so many mutant plants that appeared at the same time.
He felt that these plants were probably the "clone" of a certain plant "parasitic" on other plants, as if he had established "super-sense connection" and "emotional injection" objects.
As for their role, it may be perception or something else.
Thinking of the video of the wild boar corpse that Anchor Xue had seen before, and the news after the bodies of the three people including Anchor Xue were found, Xiang Kun guessed:
That mutated plant, "hunting and killing" the way of drinking blood, is probably through some method, disguised as ordinary plant fruit, allowing wild boars and humans to "ingest" by mistake, and then produce hallucinations or lose the ability to act.
It’s not just said in the news that anchor Xue and the three people may have eaten poisonous wild fruits by accident. They had hallucinations, and they eventually died of freezing and starvation. They also abandoned various equipment, making it difficult for search and rescue personnel to find them.
Recalling the video of anchor Xue that found the dead boar, it was not only the field survival expert who was with anchor Xue, even Xiang Kun was looking for the footprints of other animals or human activities. But if the "murderer" is defined as a plant, then many situations can be explained.
However, from the scene of the video, beside the dead boar, it seems that no obvious, weird plants were found.
Or that mutated plant can also "move"?
Or is it through some other means, such as long and long rhizomes and vines extending over to "drink blood"? Withdraw after drinking?
Xiang Kun guessed how the mutant plant might attack, including the wound on the wild boar, how it was caused?
For Xiang Kun now, what he is more afraid of is still a powerful physical attack method.
For example, when he realized that Guo Tianxiang was following him, if he smelled that Guo Tianxiang was carrying a firearm, then it goes without saying, it must be at all costs...run away first.
He walked a distance carefully, and picked almost all the plants he could perceive that gave off a "special smell". Some of them were easy to carry. He stuffed them directly into the pockets of overalls, while most of them were used directly. The hands were crushed and then thrown on the ground.
Xiang Kun checked the first pocket that contained the leaves and grass that were picked, and found that there was a wild flower missing. He fumbled on the bottom of the pocket and got some fine gray powder on it.
The powder was very fine and dry. Xiang Kun raised his hand and observed it. A slight breeze blew them away.
This gray powder is no different from the powder form of Xiang Kun's body tissue in vitro. This also shows that those plant parts are indeed from a creature that has been mutated by X like Xiang Kun.
But the other plant parts that also had that "special smell" did not turn gray. Obviously, they existed in different structural levels for the mutant creature.
Xiang Kun guessed in his heart that the wild flower might be directly "planted" by the mutant plant, and the other plant parts were "affected" by it using other methods.
After nightfall, Xiang Kun directly sat cross-legged on a boulder on the side of a low mountain. He took off the composite bow and quiver and put them aside. He also took off his shoes and socks and put them on the side, sometimes using night vision mode, sometimes Using infrared imaging mode to observe the surroundings, at the same time, the auditory and olfactory organs are operating to the extreme, collecting all kinds of "turbulence".
After sunset, all body functions and sensory abilities are stronger than during the day. In addition, the environment is relatively quiet at night, and various movements are easier to spread. Therefore, Xiang Kun believes that whether it is an ordinary beast or a mutant creature, he wants to get close to him. , He can find out in advance.
Although judging from the branches and leaves of plants with "special smell" he found, he may have been detected in advance by the mutant plant, but he is not very worried now, because he has passed various known assessments and believes that He should be able to cope with the "hunting" of mutant plants.
And most importantly, he felt that the "IQ" of this mutant plant should not be high-if it had one.
After the giant owl mutated, although I could feel a great improvement in IQ, it was still far behind humans, not to mention a plant without a brain.
Xiang Kun even began to wonder, if he "subdued" the mutant plant, how would he bring it back? Or just "solve" it here?
But how do plants solve it? It has no blood? "Juicing" directly? Or because of mutation, it is no longer the physiological form of plants, but has certain animal characteristics?
For example, it no longer needs to rely on rhizomes to absorb nutrients from the soil, so it can "run" everywhere?
For example, it may no longer photosynthesize, or even begin to avoid light and darken?
What will the variation and evolutionary direction of plants look like?
What will its current form look like?
A big tree that can creep around?
Or a bunch of weird branches?
What kind of abilities will it have?
And if Xiang Kun "absorbed" this mutant plant, what ability could he gain?
Will it be possible to "graft" some parts of various plants?
The more Xiang Kun thought about it, the more he looked forward to it, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He even couldn't wait to see the mutant plant. As for the possible danger, he was already prepared to meet it.
Xiang Kun felt that he had come along this way and had removed so many "branches" of the mutant plant. Whether those "branches" had the ability to detect and perceive, it shouldn't have been unaware.
It is as if he has established "super-sensing connection" objects, although he can only locate and determine the direction, but cannot perceive the actual situation nearby, but if the contact is suddenly broken, he will definitely guess the object when he can't sense it. What happened, and the coins and A4 papers like the little fat girl have reduced sensitivity, and you can also realize it.
Even if no one is that smart in plants, this perception will not be unconscious.
Moreover, Xiang Kun deliberately left a few "branches" around him and did not deal with it, just to make the mutant plant more confidently lock to his position.
He believed that whether or not the mutant creature realized that Xiang Kun was of the same kind, he would personally check it out.
Xiang Kun is not sure whether he can see the abnormalities of the mutant plants from Guo Tianxiang’s infrared thermal imaging vision mode. After all, he used this mode before, but he did not see the
branches
and
special smells
. What is the difference between other plant parts.
Therefore, the focus of Xiang Kun's perception at night has always been on smell and sound.
If there is a plant that can move, it will definitely make a sound during its movement, causing a certain amount of movement, and the sound and movement will definitely be very special.
As for the smell, let alone, since all the "branches" it leaves can be smelled by Xiang Kun the "special smell" of the mutant creature, its body will definitely have a strong smell.
But what Xiang Kun didn't expect was that what made him discover the anomaly in the end was still vision, and it was the vision mode of infrared imaging.
At about three in the morning, Xiang Kun sitting on the boulder, under the vision mode of infrared imaging, among the red dots scattered in the forest in the distance, he found a blue dot, which was swiftly pointing towards him. Move in direction.
Finally here comes!
Xiang Kun was a little excited in his heart, even more expectant and excited than the first blind date.
That mutant plant really seems to have changed a lot. Judging from its shape and moving speed, it is more like an animal than a plant.
Xiang Kun didn't make any movements, but watched the blue dot move with piercing eyes, slowly waiting for it to approach.
However, as the distance narrowed, Xiang Kun, who has super vision, night vision, and infrared imaging mode, felt that something was wrong after switching the vision mode several times.
Because of the "blue dot" that came quickly, he could roughly judge its size, it should be only the size of a normal washbasin, and its moving shape is a bit strange, sometimes like crawling on the ground, sometimes It was like jumping and "throwing" myself out.
What kind of weird thing is this?
The more Xiang Kun watched, his brow furrowed tighter, and his left hand began to slowly reach the compound bow next to him.
When approaching the foot of the mountain, in the infrared imaging mode, the "blue dot" stopped moving.
Xiang Kun frowned, what is this thing doing? It’s impossible to attack there, it doesn’t have a mortar...
When he was in doubt, Xiang Kun suddenly discovered that the "blue dot" began to move quickly to the left of Xiang Kun's location. After moving for a while, it stopped again, moved to the right again, returned to its original position, and stopped. , And then continue to move to the right.
Xiang Kun looked confused, what is this thing doing?
After moving to the right for a while, the "blue dot" began to reverse direction, moving quickly to and fro, seeming to be leaving?
Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, before he had time to think, he picked up the compound bow in his left hand, and drew two arrows from the bow bag in his right hand. And down—in the mountains and forests, he runs faster with bare feet than in shoes, and he can handle all kinds of complicated terrain better. Of course, even with his current physique, his feet would be and after he didn't run too far, and he could only wait for it to heal itself.
Xiang Kun rushed down from the mountainside, and basically used jumping for a long distance. Because of his rich experience in "flooding the mountain" and special stepping and observation when he came over in the afternoon, he had planned the fastest descending route, so The downhill speed is extremely fast.
But the "blue dot" was also very fast, moving quickly through the forest.
After rushing down the mountain ~EbookFREE.me~ without the advantage of the high point, Xiangkun's infrared imaging mode has a limited penetration distance, and can no longer directly focus on the target and can only rely on odor tracking.
He had already smelled the "special smell" of the mutant creature, which had the same source as the smell he smelled from those "branches" during the day!
Even though he ran at his full strength, but when he reached the position where he stopped before the "blue dot", Xiang Kun still started to slow down, switching visual mode to observe.
Xiang Kun previously thought that if the mutant creature was a plant before, its IQ should not be much higher, but after all, it is just his guess, and some caution is still needed, otherwise if it falls into a trap set by a
plant
, That losing face is a small matter, but losing a small life is a major matter.
