I walked carefully in the forest for nearly an hour, carefully inspected the ground and surrounding traces, and did not find anything that could be determined to be the “special smell”.

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

Xiang Kun stopped, closed his eyes, and reconstructed the scenes he had just seen in the vicinity, supplemented by information such as sound and smell.

He even began to try to use the special cognitive model of Little Apple to rely solely on smell to build the environment.

Although he has not yet fully grasped the cognitive model of Little Apple, he is not able to use her cognitive model to establish a cognitive model at any time, and is in a situation of instability and instability. But maybe his nerve is too sensitive to that special smell, so sensitive that it can abandon other sensory information effects, so this time using the little apple to build cognition in the brain, the effect is good.

A few minutes later, Xiang Kun eyes 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, and hugged a tree. It struck the horizontal branch in two seconds. And looked better than monkeys.

Xiang Kun searched for a while, then locked a leaf and tore it off, put the fiercely on the nose, took a breath, and then tore the leaf apart from the middle, observed its texture, and licked the torn place.

After a while, Xiang Kun shoved the leaf in half into a pocket of overalls, picked a few more, and jumped straight from the tree.

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

At first glance, these leaves, grasses, and flowers are not at all special, but Xiang Kun is now quite certain that the special smell comes from them-or the surrounding plants.

But it is amazing that the special scent comes from only a part of these plants, such as some branches, such as one or more of the same grass, such as one or more flowers.

It is for this reason that Xiang Kun always thought that the smell should be left behind by the mutant creature, so it was also suspected that the mutant creature might not be too far away, or it might be left as wreckage after eating, after fighting Traces, etc.

Had it not been for Little Apple’s cognitive model and based on that particular scent to reconstruct the surrounding environment in his brain, he wouldn’t have been able to discover it that fast.

After all, the smell is really too light, it does not seem to be emitted directly from those plants, and the plants themselves have a normal smell.

Xiang Kun had previously thought whether there would be mutant plants, but from the three examples of himself, giant owl and Guo Tianxiang, fresh blood is the most important and indispensable for their mutant creatures. “Food”, and plants not at all blood.

However, it now appears that the lack of blood itself does not mean that it cannot “suck blood”, and mutant organisms may not be limited to animals.

But this mutant plant is also very strange, not the entire plant, but only a small part. Can’t it be only that small part of the mutation? And Xiang Kun does not believe that in such a small range, there will be many many mutant plants that appear at the same time.

He thinks that these plants are likely to be “Avatars” that are “extended” by some plants and “parasitic” on other plants, as if he had established “super-sensory connections” and “emotional injection” items.

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

Thinking of the videos of wild boar corpses posted by Anchor Xue on the Internet before, as well as the news after the anchors of the three men were discovered, Xiang Kun guessed:

That mutated plant, “hunting and killing” the way of drinking blood, is likely to use some methods to disguise itself as ordinary plant fruits, and allow wild boars and humans to “miseat” and then produce hallucinations or lose their ability to move.

It wasn’t said in the news that the three anchors Xue may have eaten poisonous wild fruits by mistake and had hallucinations before they finally died of starvation. They also abandoned various equipment, making it difficult for search and rescue personnel to find them.

Recall that the video of anchor Xue finding the dead boar was not only the wild survival expert who was with anchor anchor Xue, but even Xiang Kun, he was also looking for the footprints of other animals or human activities. But if the “killer” is a plant, many situations can be explained.

But from the picture of that video, beside the wild boar’s body, it seems that no obvious and weird plants have been found.

Or that mutated plant can also be “moved”?

Or by other means, such as long and long rhizomes and vines extending to “drink blood”? Withdraw after drinking?

Xiang Kun wondered how the mutant plant might attack, including the wound on the wild boar.

For Xiang Kun now, he is more afraid, still a powerful physical attack.

For example, when he realized that Guo Tianxiang was following him, if he smelled that Guo Tianxiang had a gun on his body, it goes without saying that it must be at all costs …… first run away and then say.

He carefully walked a distance again, and picked almost all the plants that he could perceive and emit a “special odor”, some were easy to carry, and he stuffed them directly into the pockets of overalls, and most of them were directly used The hands were crushed and thrown to the ground.

Xiang Kun inspected the pockets that contained the picked leaves and grass leaves first, and found that there was a wild flower missing. He groped with his hands at the bottom of the pockets and got some thin gray powder.

The powders were very thin and dry. Xiang Kun raised his hands and observed them, and a little breeze blew them away.

This gray powder is no different from the powder morphology of Xiang Kun’s body tissues in vitro, which can also indicate that the parts of the plants did come from a creature that was mutated by X like Xiang Kun.

But other plant parts that also have that “special odor” have not turned gray. Obviously, for the mutant organism, they exist at different structural levels.

Xiang Kun guessed in his heart that the wild flower might be “planted” by the mutant plant, and the other plant parts were “affected” by other methods.

After night, Xiang Kun sat down cross-legged directly on the rock on the middle of a dwarf mountain, took off the compound bow and quiver and put them aside, and took off his shoes and socks on the side, sometimes using night vision mode, sometimes Using infrared imaging mode to observe the surroundings, at the same time, the hearing and olfactory organs are operating to the extreme, collecting various “winds and grasses.”

After sunset, all physical 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 wild beast or a mutant creature, want to be close He, he can be found in advance.

Although judging from the plants and leaves with “special odors” he found, he is likely to have been identified by the mutant plant in advance, but he is not very worried now because after evaluating through various known conditions, he thinks that He should be able to cope with the means of mutant plants “hunting for food”.

And most importantly, he thinks that the “IQ” of the mutant plant should not be high if it has it.

After the giant owl was mutated, although IQ can be greatly improved, it is still far worse than humans, let alone a plant that does not even have a brain.

Xiang Kun even began to wonder, if he “subdued” that mutant plant, how would he take it back? Or “solve” it directly here?

But how do plants solve it? Does it have no blood? “Juicing” directly? Or is it because of the mutation that it is no longer a physiological form of a plant and has certain animal characteristics?

For example, it no longer needs to absorb nutrients from the soil by the rhizome, so it can “run” everywhere?

For example, it may no longer be photosynthetic, or even start to avoid light and darken?

What will be the direction of plant mutation and evolution?

What will it look like now?

A big tree that can creep around?

Or a bunch of weird branches?

What kind of capabilities will it have?

And if Xiang Kun “absorbs” this mutant plant, what ability can it gain?

Will it be possible to “graft” parts of various plants?

Xiang Kun became more and more expectant, more and more excited, and even can’t wait to see the mutant plant. As for the possible danger, he was already ready to welcome it.

Xiang Kun feels that he has come this way and destroyed the “branches” of that mutated plant that many. Whether or not those “branches” have the ability to detect and perceive, it should not be undetected.

It is as if he has established a “super-sensory connection” item. Although he can only locate and determine the direction, but cannot sense the actual situation nearby, if the connection is suddenly broken, he will definitely guess the item when he cannot sense it. It happened and so on, and the degree of induction of coins and A4 paper like fatty girls was reduced, and it was also realized.

Even if plants are not so smart, this perception won’t go unnoticed.

In addition, Xiang Kun deliberately left a few “branches” around him without processing, in order to allow the mutant plant to be more securely locked in his position.

He believes that the mutant creature, whether he or she does not realize that Xiang Kun is the same species, will come to investigate it himself.

Xiang Kun is not quite sure whether the infrared thermal imaging visual mode obtained from Guo Tianxiang can see the abnormality of the mutated plant. After all, he used this mode before to see those “branches” and “special odors”. What is the difference between other plant parts.

So the focus of Xiang Kun’s perception at night has always been on the smell and sound.

If there is a plant that can move, it will definitely make a sound during the movement, causing certain movements, and the sound and movement will definitely be very special.

Not to mention the scent, since the various “branches” left by it can be similarly smelled by the “special odor” of mutant creatures, its body will definitely have a strong taste.

But what made Xiang Kun didn’t expect is that in the end, he immediately discovered that the abnormality was still vision, and it was the vision mode of infrared imaging.

At three o’clock in the morning, Xiang Kun sitting on a boulder. In the infrared imaging visual mode, a red dot was found in the red dots scattered in the forest in the distance. It was quickly moving towards his direction. mobile.

Finally came here!

Xiang Kun’s heart was a little excited, even more anticipating and excited than the first blind date.

That mutant plant really seems to have changed a lot. From its shape and speed of movement, it is more like an animal than a plant.

Xiang Kun didn’t move at all, just stared at the blue dot moving slowly, waiting slowly for it to approach.

However, as the distance approached, Xiang Kun, who had superb vision and night vision and infrared imaging modes, felt that something was wrong after switching the visual mode several times.

Because of the speedy “blue dot”, he can already roughly judge its size, which should only be equivalent to the size of a normal washbasin, and it moves in a strange shape, sometimes like climbing on the ground, sometimes It’s like jumping and throwing yourself out.

What a weird thing is this?

Xiang Kun’s eyebrows tightened more and more as his left hand slowly approached the compound bow next to him.

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

Xiang Kun frowned, what is this thing doing? It is impossible to launch an attack there, it has no mortar …

When he was wondering, Xiang Kun suddenly found that the “blue dot” began to move quickly to the left of Xiang Kun’s location. After moving for a while, he stopped, moved to the right, returned to the original position, and stopped. And continue to the right.

Xiang Kun was confused. What is this thing doing?

After moving to the right for a while, the “blue dots” started to turn around. They moved quickly around, and they seemed to leave?

Xiang Kun froze for a while and didn’t have time to think about it. He picked up the compound bow with his left hand, and took two arrows from the bow bag with his right hand, one bite in his mouth and one in his hand, flying directly from the mountainside with bare feet Running down-in the mountains, he runs barefoot faster than he wears shoes, and he is more able to cope with complex terrain. Of course, even with his current physique, the flesh and blood would be blurred before he ran far, and he could only wait for it to heal.

Xiang Kun rushed down the mountainside, and he basically jumped directly for a large distance. Because of his rich “rushing mountain” experience and deliberately stepping on and observing when he came in the afternoon, he had already planned the fastest downhill route, so Downhill is extremely fast.

But the speed of the “blue dot” was also very fast, passing quickly in the forest.

After rushing down the mountain, without the advantages of high points, Xiang Kun’s infrared imaging mode also has a limited penetration distance, and can no longer look directly at the target and can only rely on odor tracking.

He had already smelled the “special odor” of the mutant creature, and the scent had the same origin as the scent he smelled from those “branches” during the day!

Although he ran at full strength, when approaching the position where the “blue dot” stopped before, Xiang Kun still started to slow down and switched the visual mode to observe.

Xiang Kun previously thought that if the mutant creature was a plant before, its IQ should not be higher, but after all, it was only his guess that some caution was still needed, otherwise if it was planted in a trap set by a “plant” It is a major event to lose face and to lose a small life.
