After entering the night, Xiang Kun did not start searching around blindly. Instead, he cleared a piece of mud and folded the roots. According to the area explored in the past three days and judging by the sense of smell, the mutant creature “branched”. mark.

Xiang Kun substitutes himself into the perspective of the mutant creature, and then guesses its possible behavior pattern and activity trajectory based on its known capabilities.

There is no doubt that the “branches” scattered throughout the forest can alert and hunt the mutant creature.

So, in theory, the most widely distributed area is the area where hunting is most frequently performed, and the area near the nest.

But when hunting, the appetite shown by that mutant creature, the required blood volume, should generally be hunting large and medium animals, or a large number of small animals, the distribution area will not be so small, and will not be concentrated in a certain place . And with its hunting methods, wild beasts should be seduced and eaten by red fruits and other plants, and then easily resolved, without any difficulty, and without too much “branch” assistance.

Therefore, the place where the “branch” is concentrated is more likely to be near the nest.

Xiang Kun remembered the place where the red fruit appeared before, which attracted the leopard, and the surrounding “branches” had a higher density than other areas.

Although he didn’t find anything special in that area before, it doesn’t mean that his guess is not valid.

So Xiang Kun erased the drawing on the ground, brought bows and shoes, and returned to the area where the red fruit appeared.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult to distinguish directions in such a large mountain forest without the help of equipment, but Xiang Kun has a few beads scattered after entering the mountain to establish a “super-sensory connection” to help him establish distance sensing, plus With super strong memory and thinking ability, it is easy to find the way you have traveled, where you have been, and where you are.

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

Maybe there are many “branches” here, but it is only accidental, and the mutants are not arranged intentionally?

Xiang Kun climbed up a tall tree, straightened the top of the tree, then looked at all around, and continued to substitute the mutant creature in his heart, thinking about its possible behavior pattern.

Then Xiang Kun thought about the form when the “blue dot” flew out of the cliff, and thought about his experience when he first explored the habitat of giant owls, so he cast his gaze upward obliquely.

Xiang Kun got down from the tree and started to climb the mountain, but he did not climb directly to the top of the mountain where he was, but went to the other side. To go there, the area where the red fruit appeared was the only way he must pass. .

Standing on a cliff that is not high on the side of the mountain, Xiang Kun relies on his sense of smell to distinguish and explore carefully, and it really smells a scent of what he wants to find.

Then he placed his shoes above the cliff, carrying his bow and quiver and started to climb down.

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

Xiang Kun relied on his sense of smell to find some “branches” in one of the vines, and there were still a large number of snakes entangled there.

It is a cliff face cave covered with vines and other green plants!

In this position, Xiang Kun can faintly smell the various odors from the cave. These odors include various plants, animals, and special odors unique to the mutant creature.

Xiang Kun is now 80% sure that the cave on this cliff should be the nest or one of the mutant creatures.

His brain flashed through a variety of schemes, including lurking on the side, waiting for the mutant creature to enter the hole, and even waiting for it to drink blood before blocking it in the hole, trying to find a way to capture it. Or hide directly on the side, and when it comes back, draw a cold child to give an arrow.

But soon these ideas were ruled out by him, because he knew that at this moment, the mutant creature had a high probability that he had found the cave.

This is also the role of so many “branches” here.

So after considering Xiang Xiang for a few seconds, he decided to explore the cave first.

However, thinking of the previous trap, Xiang Kun climbed back vigilantly, took a bow and an arrow, and fired two arrows at the vine at the hole.

Corrosive liquid appeared again at not at all this time, and the two arrows were firmly inserted into the thickest vine.

Xiang Kun not at all take it lightly, if there is really a lair of mutant creatures, there may be other traps or defense mechanisms.

He yanked the vine, digging at the rock spot, moving slowly and carefully towards the cave.

And the poisonous snake at the mouth of the cave also noticed Xiang Kun, and one warned him with a letter.

Xiang Kun could see that it was a poisonous snake, but he was not very worried. He didn’t take any action, and used the “mental deterrence” directly on the snake that warned him. Then not only the snake, but all the snakes near the hole were suddenly Flee.

Xiang Kun is slightly strange. At this time, most of the snakes in the mountain have hibernated. After entering the mountain at this time, he didn’t even encounter a snake. Didn’t expect to directly encounter a nest here, this is to put them Have their habits changed? Or did this snake hibernate late?

In addition to the snake nest, there is a small honeycomb next to it. Xiang Kun still drove the bee swarm in the same way. After getting back the two arrows, he pushed away the vines and other green plants and successfully squeezed in there. Cave.

Although the mutant creature looks like the size of a basin, this cave is not small. After Xiang Kun entered, he could not even touch the top of the cave.

Checked the “special smell” part of the vines covered by the hole, Xiang Kun probably understood the defense strategy of the mutant creature. It should be that part of the “branch” that attracts snakes, bees and other animals. , And then let them spontaneously guard the area and become free guards in this cave.

After entering, Xiang Kun’s vision quickly switched between night vision mode and infrared imaging mode, and carefully observed the situation inside the cave.

The hole is not deep and you can see your head at a glance.

The cave is also full of various vine plants, and it is entwined and tied with six small birds.

In Xiang Kun’s infrared imaging mode, these vine-covered birds are still emitting heat, and they can be seen alive, but they seem to be in a deep coma.

Xiang Kun, holding an arrow, walked around and zaza, carefully checked whether there were other defense mechanisms in the cave, and he was ready to fly out of the cave at any time and prepare to climb on the cliff by those vines .

However, from the perspective of vines and other plants with “special odors” around the cave entrance, the mutants should use those “branches” to make some defensive arrangements after drinking blood and before sleeping. Like the pitfalls, it should be very troublesome and cannot last for long.

Under normal circumstances, except for the snakes and bees that “guard” outside the cave, it does not seem to be at all other defense measures.

I want to come too, this kind of place, originally wild beast can’t come. even more how there are poisonous snakes and bee swarms, nothing wild beast can think of it that way. Even if there is a wild beast coming in, I’m afraid to come and serve it.

Xiang Kun walked in slowly, inspected the six unconscious birds, and saw that the mutant creature was used as the next food, ready to drink blood?

As for how to get it, Xiang Kun speculated that it should be the fruit that the mutant organism controlled the “branch” to grow outside the cliff, enticing passing birds to eat it, and brought it in after eating.

However, judging by the dead wild boar that Anchor Xue previously photographed, the mutant creature does not return its prey to the cave to drink blood every time.

Could it be doing this to hide itself?

But why is it not drinking blood, because it feels like sleeping after drinking blood, hiding in this cave may not be safe?

If you think so, it’s not mistaken. No, Xiang Kun has found the location of this cave …

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

Judging from the condition of those birds, it should not have been captured for more than a day, it may have endured all day.

According to Xiang Kun’s own experience of resisting blood hunger, the time after night is the most difficult. It either can’t help hunting other animals and drinking blood outside, or it will soon return to the cave.

But Xiang Kun is now in this cave, and the probability of that mutant creature is already known, how will it choose?

Xiang Kun walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the mountain forest in the distance, searched carefully, and quickly found a small blue spot by infrared imaging mode—the mutant creature.

Is this waiting for me to leave?

Probably not. Since I found myself in this cave, it should already know that whether I leave or not, this cave can no longer be used as a shelter for sleeping after drinking blood.

So what is it doing now?

Xiang Kun continued to substitute the perspective of the mutant creature, speculating on its “psychology”.

Yes, it’s affected by hunger now, it’s night again, it should be very manic, the nest is occupied by the humanoid mutant, isn’t it?

Just find a prey outside to hunt and drink blood. There is no safe place to sleep, and I am afraid that the humanoid mutant creature will find it. There is no resistance.

So, it is actually hesitating to attack me now?

Xiang Kun feels that it is estimated that he did not have to return empty-handed during his trip to the Qinling Mountains. He is very clear what kind of feeling the hunger caused by drinking blood will bring after the night, and this feeling will become stronger and harder to control with time and the external stimulus.

No matter whether this mutant organism is originally a plant or an animal, no matter how high the IQ becomes through mutation and evolution, it is not human after all. That is, Xiang Kun, who has always been calm and has many means, is like a dry firewood in that case, and it burns with a touch of fire star, let alone it?

Xiang Kun backed his bow, 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 scraped, but he didn’t care.

Walking through the forest, walking slowly towards the direction where he saw the blue dots, Xiang Kun didn’t care the least, and remained extremely vigilant.

After walking for some distance, he suddenly stopped and looked up through the gap between the branches and leaves to see the starry night sky, brows slightly wrinkle.

The humidity in the air has increased sharply, as if it is going to rain?
