Vol 3 Chapter 212: patient

After nightfall, Xiang Kun didn’t have a blind destination and started searching everywhere. Instead, he cleared a piece of mud and broke the branches. According to the areas that had been explored in the past three days and judged by smell to have the
branches
of the mutant creatures, he proceeded mark.
Xiang Kun substituted himself into the perspective of the mutant creature, and then guessed its possible behavior patterns and activity trajectories based on its known abilities.
There is no doubt that the "branches" scattered all over the forest can help the mutant creature alert and hunt.
So logically speaking, the most distributed area is the area where hunting is the most common, and the other is near the nest.
But for hunting, with the appetite shown by the mutant creature, the amount of blood required should generally be hunted for medium and large animals or a large number of small animals. The distribution area will not be so small and will not be concentrated in one place. . Moreover, with its hunting method, the beasts should be lured and swallowed with red fruits and other plants, and then easily solved, there is no difficulty, and there is no need for too much "branch" assistance.
Therefore, the place where the
branches
are concentrated is more likely to be near its nest.
Xiang Kun thought of the place where the red fruit appeared before and attracted leopards, and the surrounding "branches" were denser than other areas.
Although he hadn't found anything special in that area before, it didn't mean that his guess was not valid.
So Xiang Kun erased the picture drawn on the ground, put on his bow and arrow and shoes, and returned to the area where the red fruit appeared.
For ordinary people, it is very difficult to distinguish the direction in such a large mountain forest without the help of equipment, but the few scattered after entering the mountain that Xiang Kunyou have established a "super-sensing connection" help him establish distance sensing, plus With super strong memory and thinking skills, it is easy to find the way you have traveled, where you have been, and where you are.
Constantly switching between night vision mode and infrared imaging mode, Xiang Kun carefully searched the area where the red fruits appeared for three hours, but still found nothing.
Maybe there are more "branches" here, it's just an occasional situation, that mutant creature was not deliberately arranged?
Xiang Kun climbed up a taller tree, jumped straight to the top of the tree, and then looked around, continuing to substitute the mutant creature in his heart, thinking about its possible behavior patterns.
Then Xiang Kun thought of the shape of the "blue dot" when it flew out of the cliff, and thought of his experience when he was exploring the habitat of the giant owl, so he cast his gaze diagonally upward.
Xiang Kun got down from the tree and began to climb the mountain, but instead of climbing directly to the top of the mountain where he was, he went to the other side. To go there, the area where red fruits appeared was the only way he was. .
Standing on the not-high cliff on the side of the mountain, Xiang Kun relied on his sense of smell to distinguish and explore carefully, and he smelled a scent he was looking for.
Then he put his shoes on top of the cliff, carrying his bow and quiver on his back, and began to climb down.
There are not many exposed rocks on this cliff wall, most of which are covered by green plants and large tracts of various types of vines.
Relying on his sense of smell, Xiang Kun discovered that there were some "branches" in one of the vines, and there were still a lot of snakes entrenched there.
It was a cliff cave covered by vines and other green plants!
At this position, Xiang Kun could faintly smell the various scents from the cave. These scents contained various plants and animals, as well as the special smell of the mutant creature.
Xiang Kun is now 80% sure that the cave on the cliff should be one of the nests or nests of the mutant creature.
Various plans flashed through his mind quickly, including lurking on the side, waiting for the mutant creature to enter the hole, and even waiting for it to drink blood before taking action, blocking it in the hole, trying to capture it alive. Or just hide it by the side, and when it comes back, give it a shot.
But these ideas were quickly ruled out by him, because he knew that at this moment, the mutant creature had a high probability of knowing that he had found this cave.
This is also the function of so many "branches" here.
So after Xiang Kun thought for a few seconds, he decided to explore the cave first.
But thinking of the trap before, Xiang Kun climbed back vigilantly, took a bow and set an arrow, and shot two arrows at the vine at the entrance of the hole.
No corrosive liquid appeared again this time, and the two arrows were firmly inserted on the thickest vine.
Xiang Kun didn't take it lightly. If it is really a nest of mutant creatures, there might be other traps or defense mechanisms.
He tugged at the vine and the rock, carefully and slowly moving towards the cave.
And the poisonous snake entrenched in the hole also noticed Xiang Kun, and one of them vomited a letter to warn him.
Xiang Kun could see that it was a poisonous snake, but he was not very worried. He did not take action and directly used "mental deterrence" on the snake that warned him. Then not only the snake, but all the snakes near the entrance of the cave were scattered all at once. And escape.
Xiang Kunlue was a little strange. At this time, most of the snakes in the mountain had already hibernated. After he entered the mountain this time, he didn't even encounter a single snake. He didn't expect to encounter a nest directly here. This is because of their habits. All changed? Or is this snake hibernating late?
In addition to the snake’s nest, there is a big beehive next to it. Xiang Kun still used the same method to drive the swarm away. After retrieving the two arrows, he pushed aside the vines and other green plants, and successfully squeezed into it. Cave.
Although the mutant creature looked about the size of a washbasin, the cave was not small, and Xiang Kun couldn't even touch the ceiling after he entered it with his hand.
After checking the "special smell" part of the vines covered by the hole, Xiang Kun probably understood the defensive strategy of the mutant creature. It should make the part of the "branch" attract snakes, bees and other animals. , And then let them guard this area spontaneously and become the free guard of this cave.
After entering, Xiang Kun's vision quickly switched between night vision mode and infrared imaging mode, carefully observing the situation in the cave.
The hole is not deep, you can see it at a glance.
The cave is also full of vines and plants, and six large birds are entangled and bound.
In Xiang Kun's infrared imaging mode, the birds wrapped in these vines are still emitting heat, and they are still alive, but they seem to be in a slumbering coma.
Xiang Kun took an arrow, stabbed and pierced it around, carefully checking whether there are other defense mechanisms in the cave, and was ready to fly out of the cave at any time, and use those vines to cling to the cliff. .
However, judging from the vines and other plant parts with "special smell" around the entrance of the cave, the mutant creature should use those "branches" to make some defensive arrangements after drinking blood and before falling asleep, just like before. Like the trap, it should be very troublesome and cannot last for too long.
Under normal circumstances, apart from the snakes and bees that "guard" outside the cave, there seems to be no other defensive measures.
Even if you want to come, this kind of place, the ordinary beast can't come. What's more, there are venomous snakes and bee colonies, no beasts are so obsessed with them. Even if a beast comes in, I am afraid it will come to deliver food to it.
Xiang Kun walked in slowly and inspected the six confined and unconscious birds. It seemed that the mutant creature was used as the next food for blood?
As for how to get it, Xiang Kun speculated that it was the mutant creature that controlled the "branch" to grow some fruit outside the cliff, enticing passing birds to eat it, and then getting it in after eating.
However, judging from the dead wild boar photographed by anchor Xue before, the mutant creature does not always return its prey to the cave to drink blood.
Could it be done this time to hide from itself?
But why it hasn't drank blood yet, because it feels that it fell asleep after drinking blood, and hiding in this cave may not be safe?
If it thinks so, it is not wrong. No, Xiang Kun has found the location of the cave...
Xiang Kun realized that the mutant creature had probably reached the blood-drinking period and needed to drink blood.
Judging from the state of those birds, it should not have been captured for more than a day, and it might have endured the whole day.
According to Xiang Kun's own experience of resisting blood-drinking hunger, the time after nightfall is the most difficult. It either can't help but hunts other animals outside to drink blood, or will soon return to the cave.
But Xiang Kun is now in this cave, the mutant creature already knows with a high probability, how will it choose?
Xiang Kun walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, searched carefully, and quickly found a small blue dot-the mutant creature, relying on infrared imaging mode.
Is this waiting for me to leave?
Probably not. Since it discovered that I was in this cave, it should already know that no matter if I do not leave, this cave can no longer be used as a sleeping sanctuary after drinking blood.
What is it doing now?
Xiang Kun continued to substitute the perspective of the mutant creature, speculating on its "psychology".
Yes, it is now affected by hunger, and it is night again. It should be very manic. The nest is occupied by humanoid mutant creatures. Isn't it angry?
Looking for a prey outside to hunt and drink blood, there is no safe place to sleep, and there is no resistance to fear of being found by that humanoid mutant.
So, it is actually hesitating whether to attack me?
Xiang Kun felt that this time his trip to the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, he probably didn't have to return empty-handed. He knows very well what kind of feelings the hunger caused by drinking blood will bring after nightfall. This feeling will become stronger and stronger with the passage of time and external stimuli. hard to control.
Regardless of whether this mutant creature was originally a plant or an animal, no matter how high its IQ has become through mutation and evolution, it is not human after all. It is Xiang Kun, who has always been calm and has many means. In that case, it is like a dry firewood. It burns when it touches sparks, let alone it?
Xiang Kun arched his back and quickly went down the mountain along the vines and various plants on the edge of the cliff. In the process, many new wounds were scratched, but he didn't care.
Shuttle through the forest, slowly walking in the direction where he saw the blue dot, Xiang Kun didn't care much, still maintaining extremely high vigilance.
After walking for some distance, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the night sky with no stars and moon through the gap between the branches and leaves, frowning slightly.
The humidity in the air has increased dramatically, and it seems that it is about to rain?
