Chapter 212

After nightfall, instead of blindly searching around, Xiang Kun cleared a piece of mud, broke his roots and branches, and marked the "branch" area of the mutant creature that he had explored in the past three days.

Xiang Kun put himself into the perspective of the mutant creature, and then based on his known and various abilities, he speculated on his possible behavior pattern and activity track.

There is no doubt that the "branches" throughout the forest can help the mutant to guard and hunt.

So, in principle, the most widely distributed area is the area where hunting is most common, and the other is near the nest.

But for hunting, with the appetite shown by the mutant creature and the amount of blood required, it should generally hunt large and medium-sized animals or a large number of small animals. The distribution area is not so small and will not be concentrated in a certain place. Moreover, with its hunting method, the wild animals should be lured and devoured by plants such as red fruits, and then solved easily. There is no difficulty, and it does not need too much "branch" assistance.

So the place where the branches are concentrated is more likely to be near the nest.

Xiang Kun thought of the place where the red fruit appeared before and attracted the leopard. The surrounding "branches" were more dense than other areas.

Although he didn't find anything special in that area before, it doesn't mean that his conjecture is not tenable.

So Xiang Kun wiped off the drawing on the ground, took his bow and arrow and shoes, and returned to the area where the red fruit appeared.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult for ordinary people to distinguish direction in such a large mountain forest without the help of equipment. However, after Xiang Kun entered the mountain, several beads which established "super sensory connection" helped him establish distance sensing. In addition, with his super strong memory and thinking ability, it was easy to find out the road he had walked, where he had been and where he was.

Constantly switching between night vision mode and infrared imaging mode, Xiang Kun searched the area where the red fruit appeared for three hours, but still found nothing.

Maybe there are more branches here. It's just an accident. Isn't the mutation arranged deliberately?

Xiang Kun climbed a relatively high tree, jumped straight to the top of the tree, and then looked around, continued to replace the mutant in his heart, thinking about its possible behavior pattern.

Then Xiang Kun thought of the shape of the "blue dot" flying out of the cliff, and his experience in exploring the habitat of the giant owl, so he cast his eyes upward.

Xiang Kun came 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, he was in the area where red fruits appeared, which was the only way to go.

Standing on the side of the mountain, which is not too high, Xiang Kun used his sense of smell to distinguish and explore carefully. As expected, he smelled a trace of the smell he was looking for.

Then he put his shoes on top of the cliff and began to climb down with his bow and quiver on his back.

There are not many exposed rocks on this cliff, most of which are covered with green plants and large areas of various types of vines.

Xiang Kun, relying on his sense of smell, found some "branches" in one of the vines, and there were a large number of snakes.

It's a cliff cave covered with vines and other green plants!

In this position, Xiang Kun could vaguely smell the various kinds of smells from the cave, including various kinds of plants, animals, and the special smell of the mutant creatures.

Xiang Kun is now 80% sure that the cave on the cliff should be one of the nests of the mutant.

In his mind, there were many plans, including lurking on the edge, waiting for the mutant to enter the cave, and even waiting for it to drink blood before he took a hand, blocking it in the hole and trying to capture it alive. Or just hide it on the side and give it an arrow when it comes back.

But he soon ruled them out, because he knew that at this moment, the mutant had a good chance of knowing that he had found the cave.

This is also the function of so many branches here.

So Xiang Kun thought about it for a few seconds and then decided to explore the cave first.

However, thinking of the trap before, Xiang Kun still crawled back, took the bow and arrow, and shot two arrows at the vine of the cave entrance.

There was no more corrosive liquid this time, and the two arrows stuck firmly on the thickest vine.

Xiang Kun didn't take it lightly. If it was the nest of mutant creatures, there might be other traps or defense mechanisms.

He pulled at the vines, picked at the rock points, and moved cautiously and slowly towards the cave.

The snake in the cave also noticed Xiang Kun, and one of them vomited a message to him to warn him.

Xiang Kun could see that it was a poisonous snake, but he was not very worried. He did not take any action. He directly used "spiritual shock" to the snake who demonstrated and warned him. Later, not only the snake, but all the snakes near the cave mouth all fled at once.

Xiang kunlue was a little strange. At this time, most of the snakes in the mountain had already hibernated. After entering the mountain this time, he didn't even encounter a snake. He didn't expect to meet a nest directly here. Did this change their habits? Or does this snake hibernate late?In addition to the snake nest, there is a large beehive nearby. Xiang Kun still uses the same method to drive away the bee colony. After getting back two arrows, he pushes aside the vines and other green plants and successfully enters the cave.

Although the mutant seems to be about the size of a washbasin, the cave is not small. After Xiang Kun goes in, he can't even touch the top of the cave.

After checking the "special smell" parts of the vines covered by the cave entrance, Xiang Kun probably understood the defense strategy of the mutant creature. It should make that part of the "branches" have the characteristics of attracting snakes, bees and other animals, and then let them spontaneously guard the area and become the free guard of the cave.

After entering, Xiang Kun's vision quickly switches between night vision mode and infrared imaging mode, carefully observing the situation in the cave.

The hole is not deep. You can see the end at a glance.

The cave is also covered with a variety of vines, and entangled, bound by six large birds.

In Xiang Kun's infrared imaging mode, the birds wrapped in vines still emit heat and can be seen alive, but they seem to be in a deep sleep coma.

Xiang Kun took an arrow, poked and pricked around, carefully checking whether there were other defense mechanisms in the cave, and he was ready to fly out of the cave at any time and climb on the cliff with those vines.

However, from the vines and other plant parts with "special smell" around the hole, the mutant should use those "branches" for defensive arrangement only after drinking blood and before sleeping. Just like the trap before, it should be very troublesome and can not last for too long.

Under normal circumstances, there seems to be no other defense measures except the snakes and bees "guarding" outside the cave.

I think so. This kind of place, originally ordinary wild animals can't come. What's more, there are poisonous snakes and bee colonies. No wild animal can be so upset. Even if there is a wild animal coming in, I'm afraid it's also coming to deliver food.

Xiang Kun walks in slowly and checks the six birds that are in a coma. It seems that the mutant is used as the next food to drink blood?

As for how to get it, Xiang Kun speculated that it was the mutant that controlled the "branch" to produce fruit outside the cliff, luring passing birds to eat, and then they got it in after eating.

However, from the dead boar shot by anchor Xue before, the mutant doesn't bring its prey back to the cave to drink blood every time.

Is it doing this to hide itself?

But why hasn't he drunk blood yet? It's because he thinks it's not safe to hide in this cave after drinking blood?

If so, he didn't think wrong. No, Xiang Kun found the location of the cave

Xiang Kun realized that the mutant creature might have reached the blood drinking stage and needed to drink blood.

Judging from the state of those birds, they should not have been captured for more than a day. They may have endured the whole day.

According to Xiang Kun's own experience in resisting the hunger of drinking blood, the time after nightfall is the most difficult. He can't bear to hunt and kill other animals to drink blood, or he will return to the cave soon.

But Xiang Kun is now in this cave. The great probability of the mutant has already known. How will it choose?

Xiang Kun went to the cave entrance, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, searched carefully, and quickly found a small blue dot by means of infrared imaging mode - that is, the mutant creature.

Is this waiting for me to leave?

It should not be. Since it found me in this cave, it should have known that no matter whether I can't leave, the cave can no longer be used as a shelter for sleeping after drinking blood.

What is it doing now?

Xiang Kun continued to put in the perspective of the mutant creature and speculated on its "psychology".

Yes, it's affected by hunger now. It's night. It should be very manic. The nest is occupied by mutant creatures. Is it angry?

Looking for a prey outside to kill and drink blood, there is no safe place to sleep, and afraid to be found by the human mutant, there is no resistance.

So, it's actually hesitating to attack me?

Xiang Kun felt that his trip to the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains would not be empty handed. He is very clear about what kind of feeling the hunger caused by drinking blood will bring after nightfall. This feeling will become stronger and harder to control with the passage of time and external stimulation.

No matter whether the mutant is originally a plant or an animal, no matter how high the IQ has become through mutation and evolution, it is not human after all. Xiang Kun, who has always been calm and has many means, is like dry firewood in that case. If it is touched with a little spark, it will burn, not to mention it?

Xiang Kun bowed his back and quickly went down the mountain along the vines and various plants on the edge of the cliff. In the process, he scraped many new wounds, but he didn't care.

Shuttling through the forest, he walked slowly towards the direction where he saw the blue dot. Xiang Kun did not have any carelessness, but still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

After walking for a distance, he suddenly stopped and looked up through the gap between the branches and leaves, looking at the night sky without stars and moons, and frowned slightly.The humidity in the air has increased greatly. It seems that it is going to rain?
