Vol 3 Chapter 211: Tracking in the forest (below)

Xiang Kun lay in the grass under the hillside, holding his knees and wailing from time to time. After more than three hours, there was still no sign that the mutant creature appeared.
Not far from Xiang Kun, there was a "branch" with a special smell, so he was not worried that the mutant creature could not find him.
It seems that either the mutant creature is indeed not low in IQ, or it is particularly counseled and cautious.
However, judging from the previous experience of the three anchor Xue, if they were killed by the mutant creature, then this guy is actually very cruel - it is unlikely that it killed three people just for drinking blood.
Xiang Kun stopped pretending to be miserable, got up and patted the weeds and dirt on his body, and compared the "branch" that looked like an ordinary weed with his middle finger, regardless of whether the mutant creature could pass through it. "Branch" sees the scene, even if you see it, you can understand what it means.
After picking up the compound bow, bow bag, and shoes, Xiang Kun tore off the
branches
and threw them on the ground with his feet.
If the mutant creature made up his mind to avoid him, then Xiang Kun would have left empty-handed this time. It is impossible for him to stay in this uninhabited mountain forest for too long. Given that there are other mutant creatures, there is no difference between drinking blood and sleeping here and looking for death.
Obviously, this mutant creature is different from the giant owl and Guo Tianxiang. Before the latter two encountered Xiang Kun, they were already in a state of desperately thirsting for the blood of other mutant creatures, so Xiang Kun looked for opportunities to counteract. Kill without being in the position of a hunter.
But now this mutant creature, like Xiang Kun, is not in that state, so it can be more geographically and cautious.
Xiang Kun originally thought that the mutant creature might have been mutated from plants, and would follow primitive instincts more without having too high IQ. But looking at it now, it is estimated that its IQ will not be too low, and may even be much better than that of the giant owl.
Xiang Kun was going to search here for another day, and if he still couldn't find the mutant creature or its lair, he would leave.
But what he didn't expect was that before nightfall, he followed a smell to find the leopard that had been affected by Hongguo and wanted to attack him.
The leopard was lying in the grass and was dead, with a small wound on his body, just like that of the wild boar in the Xue anchor video.
Xiang Kun touched the leopard's fur and sighed softly, "This is a state protected animal..."
Obviously, it was also hunted by the mutant creature. Xiang Kun also got confirmation from the "special smell" remaining on the leopard's carcass and its surroundings. This smell is more "grafted" on other plants. "Zhi" is much stronger, obviously the mutant creature's body shot.
Did it drink blood?
That is to say, the red fruit that appeared before to lure this leopard may not actually be aimed at Xiang Kun, but it was that it was time to drink blood and was "hunting" the target of drinking blood?
According to the law, isn't it supposed to go into deep sleep?
After all, drowsiness occurs after drinking blood. This should be a characteristic of their mutant creatures, at least for the three samples of Xiang Kun, Owl and Guo Tianxiang.
After drinking blood, the giant owl swallows a stone in its abdomen to suppress sleepiness, and then flies back to the nest on the cliff.
Although this mutant creature has demonstrated the ability to fly before, Xiang Kun speculates that there should be some restrictions on how it can fly. Unlike birds that fly when they want to fly, the nest may not be too far away. You can try to track it.
Of course, if it uses a cliff or other fault to block the smell very carefully, there is no way.
Following the smell left on the leopard's carcass, Xiang Kun didn't take too long to find the possible "nest" of the mutant creature.
It was a towering tree. Looking up, if it weren't for Xiang Kun's excellent eyesight, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find a "big ball" "hidden" in the branches and leaves of the tree.
The "special smell" on it is very heavy, which is obviously different from the other "branches" of "grafting". It is very likely that the body of the mutant creature will sleep in it.
But Xiang Kun was a little suspicious, because he had just checked the leopard’s body. There was still blood leaking from the wound, and there were blood spots nearby. Compared with the situation of the wild boar in the video of the anchor Xue, this leopard There is too much blood left.
And if the mutant creature had to drink a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms before drinking blood, there is no reason why a leopard weighing about 30 kilograms can't finish drinking the blood.
Xiang Kun even speculated from the blood volume of the leopard's corpse that maybe the mutant creature didn't drink blood, but simply killed the leopard.
Then he was able to find this place in less than twenty minutes, following the smell, maybe it was not good luck, but the mutant creature deliberately lured it?
It can think that when Xiang Kun sees it hunting its prey, it will think it might find a place to sleep, so it follows the smell to find the "big ball" on the tree?
If it can really set a trap through this logic, then Xiang Kun will have to adjust its IQ a bit.
But judging from the smell, the mutant creature's body should be in the "big ball" that looks like a nest on the tree and woven with branches and vines. Is it waiting for Xiang Kun to climb up and make a sudden blow? Or is there any trap in this big tree itself?
Knowing that this was most likely a trap deliberately lured by the mutant creature, Xiang Kun would not carelessly. Instead of climbing up the trunk directly, he carried a bow to find a nearby tree and climbed up.
Climbing to the waist of the tree, Xiang Kun turned on the infrared imaging vision mode, wanting to see if the "blue dot" is in the "big ball", but the outer branches and vines are wrapped in layers and may be covered There are too many layers, and the heat source is isolated.
Xiang Kun found a posture on the tree, clamped the branch with his legs, fixed his body, then took off the compound bow, took out two arrows, one bit in his mouth, one in his hand, and slowly placed on the bow Go up, then push the bow, draw the bow, and aim.
The arrow left the string, came in a flash, and plunged into the green "big ball".
Xiang Kun, with a keen sense of hearing, could even hear a crisp "puff", and the whole arrow sank directly into three-quarters.
Then, Xiangkun’s accident happened. After being shot by an arrow, the branches and vines around the "big ball" "blowed up" a piece of green liquid, and then in Xiangkun’s infrared imaging vision mode, a large area of ​​red appeared out of thin air. As if a sun was born suddenly.
White smoke came up, and the liquid in the vines wrapped in layers seemed to be mixed with another liquid. The temperature quickly reached the boiling point, spraying and bursting, like a balloon filled with water. It's just like exploding on a tree, but the "water" inside is all extremely corrosive liquid.
Seeing the rapid corrosion and smoking of the place where the tree was touched by the liquid, Xiang Kun couldn't help but cursed in secret.
Is the mutant creature so overcast?
If Xiang Kun was a little careless and climbed up the tree by himself, and then took some tool to open the layers of branches and vines, and then the liquid exploded, and the corrosive liquid that covered his head and face poured down, he would probably directly If you fell from the tree, even if you didn't fall to death, you might be seriously injured if you got caught in the shower.
This is so cruel!
It's so treacherous!
But this guy's ability is really quite powerful in this forest full of plants! Obviously those "branches" are not just used to detect or lure other creatures to eat.
If other creatures can't distinguish which are the "branches" of the mutant creatures "grafting" through the "special smell" like Xiang Kun, then it will be easier to get the trick, and it is completely impossible to prevent.
And how did this highly corrosive liquid come out? Is there such a plant? Or is it "squeezed out" by itself?
Xiang Kun in the animal kingdom remembers seeing "bomb beetles" with similar abilities before, but plants have never seen them.
While surprised, Xiang Kun already began to search around by smell, hearing and vision, because after the "big ball" burst open, there was no shadow of the mutant creature, it was not inside.
Before I wanted to come, the strong smell that made him mistakenly think it was the body of the mutant creature, it should be some body tissues it left in, and it is possible that those body tissues are also directly related to this strong corrosive liquid.
Since it has set up such a trap, when the trap is triggered, it should come over and prepare to "fall down the pit", "harvest the spoils", and "deadly die".
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Xiang Kun used the infrared imaging vision mode to see a "blue dot" on a tree in the distance.
However, as soon as the "blue dot" appeared in Xiangkun's line of sight, it quickly disappeared-this guy obviously found that Xiang Kun had not been hit, and ran away immediately!
Damn it!
Xiang Kun cursed secretly, regretting that he just didn't get off the tree the first time, lying on the ground pretending to be injured.
Although that might not completely fool the mutant creature, it should be able to fool it closer, at least giving him a chance to shoot with a bow and arrow.
Xiang Kun didn't chase the mutant creature again. Based on the distance between them and the comparison of their speed last time, he knew that he was chasing for nothing.
From this direction, it won't be too far, and this product can "fly" away by taking advantage of the terrain. Because the speed couldn't keep up, Xiang Kun couldn't pull the distance to within the range before it "flyed" and dried it down with a bow and arrow.
Moreover, after watching the scene just now, Xiang Kun once again raised the IQ assessment of the mutant creature by one level, and he needed to be more cautious in dealing with it. Its direct combat effectiveness may not be very strong, but this mountain forest can be said to be meticulous. The layout of the "home court". Xiang Kun couldn't ignore the strong corrosive liquid just now.
After getting down from the tree, Xiang Kun immediately found that a large number of insects of different sizes had died around. Most of these insects did not directly contact those strong corrosive liquids. It can be seen that these liquids are not only corrosive, but also very toxic. No wonder they are so big. Smell.
Xiang Kun subconsciously reduced the frequency of breathing. The toxicity of these liquids after volatilization should not be enough for him, so there is no influence or feeling, but caution is the best.
Xiang Kun carefully dipped his little finger with some liquid that had not yet fully reacted, and felt the tingling on his skin. Obviously, his flesh and blood couldn't hold this corrosive liquid. He was really exposed to so much water. If it arrives, it will definitely be very uncomfortable and have a great impact. Especially the eyes, nose and other important organs, if they are caught off guard, the combat effectiveness will be severely affected in a short time.
However, judging from the performance of the mutant creature, it shouldn't be easy to get so many corrosive liquids at once, otherwise, why didn't it use it when it was chased before?
The big tree was very miserable. Seeing the extent of its corrosion, it might be GG soon.
Xiang Kun carefully inspected the corrosive liquid on the tree and the condition of the liquid spilled on the ground, and soon discovered that a small part of the liquid was turning into a gray powder.
Those liquids are mixed with other corrosive liquids. If Xiang Kun is not careful enough, it is difficult to find.
From this point, it can be seen that in the liquid that just burst out, a part of the composition came from the body tissue of the mutant creature.
Xiang Kun picked up his arrow from the ground, but the body of the arrow was not corroded by the liquid. Although it fell from a height, it was cushioned by the branches and leaves in the middle, and the ground was soft and there was no damage.
Xiang Kun raised his head, observing the original location of the "big ball", speculating in his mind that the mutant creature should have been preparing for it in advance, and then went to kill the leopard, causing the illusion of drinking blood, and then returned. Here, after finishing the layout, it should be "fly" directly from the tree, and quickly leave and hide through other trees, waiting to recruit Xiang Kun.
However, judging from its subsequent "appearance", the surrounding "branches" should not be able to directly pass image information to it, and it cannot be able to tell it the actual situation.
As the sky darkened, Xiang Kun went to check the place where he had just discovered the "blue dot", followed the smell for a while, and found that it was going up again.
Xiang Kun didn't continue to follow the past, thinking and knowing its operation, there must be no clues to follow, and the past was just a waste of energy.
He has made a decision, and the main goal for the next day is to find the "lest" of the mutant creature.
If you can't find it, leave immediately and return to your city before the blood drinking period.
Xiang Kun knew that ~EbookFREE.me~ could catch the mutant creature, the key point was its blood-drinking period.
If it had to drink blood within the next 24 hours and then fell asleep, then Xiang Kun's opportunity would come. Otherwise, if it deliberately wants to hide, in this mountain forest, Xiang Kun is really not sure that he can catch it.
As for its blood-drinking period, Xiang Kun was active in this area during this time. Except for today’s leopard, no animal that was recently killed and blood-drinking by the mutant creature was found—he wants to determine if it was mutated. The corpse of a creature drinking blood, you only need to smell the "special smell" to know.
From the various "branches" all over this area, you can know that this is the territory of the mutant creature. Its hunting area and sleeping nest should also be in this area. If it is not a last resort, it should not Abandon the territory and leave.
Maybe it was because it was eager to drink blood. After escaping yesterday, it took so much effort today to set up such a trap to deal with Xiang Kun.
