Chapter 209

After walking carefully in the forest for nearly an hour, he carefully inspected the traces on the ground and around, and found nothing that could be identified as the "special smell".

But since he could smell it clearly, there could be no trace.

Xiang Kun stops and closes his eyes. His brain reconstructs the scene he just saw nearby, supplemented by sound, smell and other information.

He even began to try to use the special cognitive mode of small apple, relying solely on the smell to build the environment.

Although he has not yet fully mastered the cognitive model of little apple, he can not use her cognitive model to establish a cognitive model at any time. He is in a situation where the time is right and the time is not working. But maybe his nerves are so sensitive to that particular smell that they can discard other sensory information. So this time, using a small apple in his brain to construct cognition has a good effect.

A few minutes later, Xiang Kun opened his eyes and took a few steps backward. He put his composite bow back on his body and put the arrow back into the quiver. Then he held a tree and jumped to the horizontal branch in two seconds. He looked more sharp than the monkey.

Xiang Kun searched for a while, then locked a leaf, pulled it down, put it on the nose, closed it and sucked hard, then tore the leaf from the middle, observed its texture, and licked the place where it was torn.

A moment later, Xiang Kun put the torn leaves in two into a pocket of overalls, picked several more pieces, and jumped directly from the tree.

Following the smell, Xiang Kun walked for a while and picked some leaves, wild flowers and weeds. Before picking, he would take out his mobile phone to take a picture.

At first glance, these leaves, grass and flowers are nothing special, but Xiang Kun is now quite sure that the special smell comes from them - or the plants around them.

But it's amazing that the special smell comes from only one part of these plants, such as some branches, such as one or several roots in the same bush, such as one or several flowers in several flowers.

That's why Xiang Kun had always thought that the smell should have been left by the mutant when it passed by, so he also suspected that the mutant might not have been far away, or there might have been debris after eating or traces after fighting.

If it had not been for the cognitive model of little apple to reconstruct the surrounding environment in his brain based on the special smell, he would not have been able to find out that quickly.

After all, the smell was so light that it didn't seem to come from those plants directly. Moreover, the plants themselves had normal smell.

Xiang Kun had thought about whether there would be any mutated plants before, but judging from his own, giant owl and Guo Tianxiang, fresh blood is the most important and indispensable "food" for these mutant creatures, while plants have no blood.

But now it seems that the absence of blood does not mean that it can not "suck blood", and that mutant organisms may not be limited to animals.

But this mutant plant is also very strange, not the whole plant, only a small part. It can't be just a small part of the mutation, can it? And Xiang Kun didn't believe that there would be so many mutant plants in such a small area.

He thinks that these plants are likely to be the "branches" of one plant "extending" and "parasitizing" on other plants, just as he has established "super sensory connection" and "emotional infusion".

As for their role, it may be perception, or something else.

Thinking of the videos of wild boar corpses that have been seen before and released by anchor Xue on the Internet, as well as the news after the bodies of three people including Xue were found, Xiang Kun guessed:

the mutated plant, the way of "hunting" and drinking blood, is likely to be disguised as ordinary plant fruit, which makes wild boar and human "eat by mistake", and then hallucinate or lose action Ability.

It is not said in the news that the three people of anchor Xue may have eaten poisonous wild fruits by mistake and had hallucinations before they finally died of freezing and starvation. They also abandoned all kinds of equipment, making it difficult for search and rescue personnel to find them.

Looking back on the video of anchor Xue discovering the carcass of wild boar, it is not only the field survival expert with anchor Xue, but also Xiang Kun, who was looking for the footprints of other animals or human activities before. But if the "killer" is defined as a plant, then many situations can be explained.

However, no obvious and strange plants were found in the video, beside the dead boar.

Or can the mutated plant be "mobile"?

Or by what other means, such as long and long rhizomes and branches extending to "drink blood"? When you've had enough to drink, do you want to withdraw?

Xiang Kun guessed the possible attack ways of the mutant plant, including the wound on the wild boar, how it was caused?

For the present Xiang Kun, what he is more afraid of is still the powerful physical attack.

For example, when he realized that Guo Tianxiang was following him, if he smelled that Guo Tianxiang was carrying a gun with him, it was needless to say that he must have done anything Run away first.

After a careful walk for a distance, he picked up almost all the plants that he could sense and emit "special smell". Some of them were easy to carry, and he put them directly into the pocket of overalls, while most of them were crushed by hand and then thrown to the ground.Xiang Kun checked the bag that contained the leaves and grass leaves first. He found that there was a wild flower missing. He groped at the bottom of the bag and found some fine gray powder.

The powder was very fine and dry. Xiang Kun raised his hand and observed it. A little breeze blew it away.

This kind of gray powder is not different from that of Xiangkun's body tissue in vitro, which also shows that the parts of the plants really came from a creature which was mutated by X just like Xiang Kun.

But the other parts of the plant that also have the "special smell" have not turned grey. It is obvious that they exist at different structural levels for the mutant organism.

Xiang Kun guessed that the wild flower might be directly planted by the mutant plant, while the other plant parts were "influenced" by it in other ways.

After nightfall, Xiang Kun sat down on a big stone on the hillside of a low mountain, took down the composite bow and quiver, took off his shoes and socks and put them on the side. Sometimes he used night vision mode, sometimes used infrared imaging mode to observe the surroundings. At the same time, his auditory and olfactory organs also worked to the extreme, collecting all kinds of "wind blowing and grass moving".

After sunset, all the physical functions and sensory abilities are stronger than those in the daytime. In addition, the environment is relatively quiet at night, so it is easier for all kinds of movements to spread. Therefore, Xiang Kun believes that no matter ordinary beasts or mutant creatures want to get close to him, he can discover them in advance.

Although judging from the branches and leaves with "special smell" found by him, he may have been known by the mutant plant in advance, but he is not very worried at present, because after evaluating various known conditions, he thinks that the "hunting" means of the mutant plant should be able to cope with.

And most importantly, he thinks the mutant plant's "IQ" should not be high - if it has one.

After the mutation, the giant owl can feel that its IQ has been greatly improved, but it is still far from human beings, not to mention plants that have no brain.

Xiang Kun even began to wonder, if he "subdued" the mutant plant, how to take it back? Or just "solve" it here?

But what about plants? It doesn't have blood? Direct "juicing"? Or because of the variation, it is no longer the physiological form of plants, but has certain animal characteristics?

For example, it no longer needs roots to absorb nutrients from the soil, so it can "run" everywhere?

For example, it may no longer photosynthesize, or even begin to fade away from light?

What is the direction of plant variation and evolution?

What will it look like now?

A big tree that can wriggle around?

Or a bunch of weird branches?

What kind of capabilities does it have?

And if we "absorb" the mutant plant from Kun, what kind of ability can we obtain?

Will it be possible to "graft" some parts of various plants?

The more he thought about it, the more he looked forward to it, the more excited he was. He even couldn't wait to see the mutant plant. As for the possible danger, he was already ready to meet it.

Xiang Kun felt that he had lost so many "branches" of the mutant plant along the way. No matter whether those "branches" have the ability to explore and perceive, they should not be undetected.

It's just like the objects that he established "super sensory connection". Although he can only locate and determine the direction, but can't perceive the actual situation nearby, if he suddenly loses contact, he will surely guess what happened to the object when he can't feel it. However, little fat girl's coins and A4 paper are less sensitive, which can also be realized.

Even if plants aren't as smart as people, this perception won't go unnoticed.

The "Kun" is more able to keep a few branches around him.

He believed that the mutated creature, whether or not he realized that Xiang Kun was of the same kind, would personally explore it.

Xiang Kun is not sure whether Guo Tianxiang's infrared thermal imaging visual mode can see the abnormalities of the mutant plants. After all, before using this mode, he did not see the difference between the "branches" with "special smell" and other parts of plants.

So the focus of Xiang Kun's perception at night is always on the smell and sound.

How much sound will be produced by the moving plants, if it is moving or not, it must be.

As for the smell, not to mention, since all the "branches" left by it can be smelled by Xiangkun, the "special smell" of the mutant organism, its noumenon must also have a strong flavor.

But what he didn't expect was that the first thing that made him discover the abnormality was still vision, and it was the visual mode of infrared imaging.

At more than 3:00 a.m., Xiang Kun, sitting on the boulder in the visual mode of infrared imaging, found a blue dot among the red dots scattered everywhere in the distant forest, and was moving rapidly towards his direction.Finally, it's a special place to come!

Xiang Kun's heart is a little excited, even more than the first blind date to look forward to and excited.

It seems that the mutant plant has really changed a lot. In terms of its shape and speed of movement, it has become more like an animal than a plant.

Xiang Kun didn't make any movement, just looked at the movement of the blue dot, waiting for it to approach slowly.

However, with the narrowing of the distance, Xiang Kun, who has super vision, night vision and infrared imaging mode, feels something is wrong after switching the visual mode several times.

Because of the rapid "blue dot", he can roughly judge its size, which should only be equivalent to the size of a normal basin. Moreover, it moves in a strange shape. Sometimes it looks like climbing on the ground, and sometimes it seems to jump and throw itself out.

What kind of a wonder is this?

The more he looked at Kun, the tighter his brow was, and his left hand began to slowly reach the compound bow beside him.

Near the foot of the mountain, the "blue dot" stopped moving in infrared imaging mode.

Frown to Kun, what is this thing doing? It's impossible to launch an attack there. It doesn't have mortars

When he was in doubt, Xiang Kun suddenly found that the "blue dot" began to move rapidly to the left of Xiangkun's position. After moving for a while, he stopped, then moved to the right, returned to the original position, stopped, and continued to move to the right.

Xiang Kun is confused. What is this thing doing?

After moving to the right for a while, the "blue dot" began to turn its direction, and the traffic moved rapidly, as if to leave?

Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment. Before he had time to think about it, he picked up the composite bow with his left hand and pulled out two arrows from the bow bag with his right hand. One of them was biting in his mouth and the other was holding it. He ran barefoot from the mountainside faster than wearing shoes in the forest, and he was more able to cope with various complex terrain. Of course, even with his current physique, if he did not run far, his feet would be bloody and fleshy, so he could only endure the pain and wait for it to heal itself.

Xiang Kun rushed down from the mountainside. For a long distance, he basically used jumping directly. Because of his rich experience in "rushing to the mountain" and visiting and observing when he came in the afternoon, he planned the fastest way down the mountain, so he went down the mountain very fast.

But the "blue dot" was also very fast, moving through the forest at full speed.

After rushing down the mountain, without the advantage of high point, Xiangkun's infrared imaging mode has limited penetration distance, so it 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, which came from the same source as he had smelled from the branches during the day!

Although he ran with all his strength, when he got to the stop position before the "blue dot", Xiang Kun still began to slow down and switched the visual mode for observation.

Xiang Kun thought that if the mutant creature had been a plant before, its IQ should not be higher. But after all, it was only his guess, and some caution was still needed. Otherwise, if he fell into a trap set by a "plant", it would be a small matter to lose face and a small life would be a major event.
