What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Walked carefully in the forest for nearly an hour, carefully inspecting the ground and surrounding traces, but did not find anything that could be determined to be the "special smell".

But since he could clearly smell that scent, there couldn't be any traces.

Xiang Kun stopped, closed his eyes, and reconstructed the scene he had just seen nearby, supplemented by sounds, smells and other information in his mind.

He even started to try to use Little Apple's special cognitive mode, relying solely on smell to construct the environment.

Although he still hasn't fully grasped Little Apple's cognitive model, he may not be able to use her cognitive model to build a cognitive model at any time. But maybe his nerves are too sensitive to that special smell, so sensitive that he can discard the influence of other sensory information, so this time he used the way of small apples to construct cognition in the brain, and the effect was good.

A few minutes later, Xiang Kun opened his eyes, took a few steps back, put the compound bow in his hand back on his back, put the arrow back into the quiver, then hugged a tree, and jumped onto a branch in two seconds , looks sharper than a monkey.

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

After a while, Xiang Kun stuffed the torn leaf into a pocket of his overalls, picked a few more leaves, and jumped off 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 phone to take a photo.

At first glance, these leaves, grass, and flowers were nothing special, but now Xiang Kun was quite sure that the special smell came from them - or the various plants around them.

But what is amazing is that the special smell only comes from a part of these plants, such as a part of the branches, such as one or several roots in the same clump of grass, such as one or several flowers among several flowers.

It was precisely because of this that Xiang Kun had always felt that the smell should be left by the mutated creature when it passed by, so he also suspected that the mutated creature might not be too far away, or left behind such as the wreckage after eating, after fighting, etc. traces etc.

If he hadn't used Little Apple's cognitive model to reconstruct the surrounding environment in his brain based on that special smell, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover this so quickly.

After all, the smell is too weak, it doesn't seem to come directly from those plants, and those plants themselves also have a normal smell.

Xiang Kun had also thought about whether there would be mutated plants before, but judging from the three examples of himself, the giant owl and Guo Tianxiang, fresh blood is the most important and indispensable for mutated creatures like them. "food," and plants don't have blood.

But now it seems that the lack of blood itself does not mean that it cannot "suck blood". Mutant creatures may not be limited to animals.

But this mutated plant is also very strange, not the whole plant, but only a small part. It can't be that only a small part of it is mutated, right? And Xiang Kun didn't believe that there would be so many mutated plants appearing at the same time in such a small area.

He feels that these plants are likely to be "clones" that "extend" a certain plant and "parasitize" on other plants, just like the items that he has established a "supersensory connection" and "emotional injection".

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

Thinking of the video of the wild boar corpse that Anchor Xue posted on the Internet that he had seen before, and the news about the discovery of the bodies of three people including Anchor Xue, Xiang Kun guessed:

The mutated plant, the way of "hunting" and drinking blood, is likely to be disguised as an ordinary plant fruit through some methods, so that wild boars and humans "eat it" by mistake, and then have hallucinations or lose the ability to move.

Didn't the news say that the three anchor Xue may have eaten poisonous wild fruits by mistake and had hallucinations, so they finally died of freezing and starvation, and they also abandoned all kinds of equipment, making it difficult for search and rescue personnel to find them.

Recalling the video of Anchor Xue discovering wild boar corpses, it was not only the field survival expert who was with Anchor Xue, but even Xiang Kun was looking for traces of other animals or human activities. But if the "murderer" is defined as a plant, then many situations can be explained.

However, from the screen of the video, it seems that there are no obvious and weird plants beside the dead boar.

Or that mutated plant can also "move"?

Or through some other means, such as very long rhizomes and branches spreading to "drink blood"? Withdrew after drinking?

Xiang Kun speculated about the possible attack methods of the mutated plant, including how the wound on the wild boar was caused?

For Xiang Kun now, what he was more afraid of was still powerful physical attacks.

For example, when he realized that Guo Tianxiang was following him, if he smelled that Guo Tianxiang was carrying a gun, then needless to say, he must do whatever it takes... Run away first.

After walking a certain distance carefully, he picked almost all the plants that he could perceive and had a "special smell". Crush it with your hands and throw it on the ground.

Xiang Kun checked the pocket that contained the leaves and grass leaves that he picked off first, and found that there was a wild flower missing in it. He fumbled at the bottom of the pocket with his hand, and got some fine gray powder.

Those powders were very fine and dry. Xiang Kun raised his hand to observe, and a little breeze blew them away.

This gray powder was no different from the powder form of Xiang Kun's body tissue, which could also explain that those plant parts did come from a creature that was mutated by X like Xiang Kun.

But the other plant parts that also had that "special smell" didn't turn gray. It was obvious that they existed at different levels of structure for the mutated creature.

Xiang Kun guessed in his heart that the wild flower might have been "planted" directly by the mutated plant, while the other plant parts were "influenced" by it in other ways.

After nightfall, Xiang Kun sat down cross-legged on a boulder halfway up a low mountain, took off the compound bow and quiver and put them aside, took off his shoes and socks and put them aside, sometimes using night vision mode, sometimes Using the infrared imaging mode to observe the surroundings, at the same time the auditory and olfactory organs are also functioning to the extreme, collecting all kinds of "wind and grass".

After sunset, all body 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, so Xiang Kun believes that no matter whether it is an ordinary beast or a mutant creature, anyone who wants to get close to him , he can find out in advance.

Although judging from the plants and leaves with the "special smell" that he found, he may have been detected by the mutated plant in advance, but he is not very worried now, because after evaluating various known situations, he believes that the He should be able to deal with the "hunting" methods of mutated plants.

And most importantly, he felt that the "intelligence quotient" of this mutated plant should not be high - if it had any.

After the giant owl has mutated, although it can feel that its IQ has improved a lot, it is still far behind humans, let alone plants without brains.

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

But what about plants? It has no blood? Directly "juicing"? Or because of the mutation, it is no longer the physiological form of a plant, but has certain animal characteristics?

For example, it no longer needs to rely on rhizomes to absorb nutrients from the soil, so it can "run" around?

For example, it may no longer photosynthesize, or even begin to avoid light and become darker?

What about the variation and evolution direction of plants?

What would it look like now?

A big tree that can wriggle around?

Or a large group of branches and vines with weird shapes?

What kind of abilities will it have?

And if Xiang Kun "absorbed" this mutated plant, what abilities would he gain?

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

The more Xiang Kun thought about it, the more he looked forward to it, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He even couldn't wait to see the mutated plant. As for the possible danger, he was already prepared to meet it.

Xiang Kun felt that he had lost so many "branches" of the mutated plant this way, no matter whether those "branches" had the ability to detect and sense, it shouldn't have been unaware.

It's like the item he established "super sensory connection", although he can only locate and determine the direction, but can't perceive the actual situation nearby, but if the connection is suddenly broken, when he can't perceive it, he will definitely guess the item What happened, and the sensitivity level of coins and A4 papers like the little fat girl is reduced, and I can also be aware of it.

Even if plants were not so smart, this perception would not be unaware.

Moreover, Xiang Kun deliberately left a few "branches" around him without any treatment, just to make the mutated plant more confident in locking onto his position.

He believed that whether the mutant creature realized that Xiang Kun was of the same kind or not, he would come to investigate for himself.

Xiang Kun is not sure whether the infrared thermal imaging visual mode obtained from Guo Tianxiang can see the abnormalities of the mutated plants. After all, he used this mode before, but he did not see the "branches" with "special smell" and What is the difference between the parts of other plants.

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

If there is a plant that can move, then it will definitely make a sound and cause a certain movement during the process of moving, and the sound and movement will definitely be very special.

Not to mention the smell, since all the "branches" it left behind could be smelled by Xiang Kun as the "special smell" of the mutated creature, then its body must also have a strong smell.

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

At around three o'clock in the morning, Xiang Kun, who was sitting cross-legged on the boulder, found a blue dot among the red dots scattered in the forest in the distance under the visual mode of infrared imaging, and was flying towards the place where he was. direction to move.

It's finally here!

Xiang Kun was a little excited, even more looking forward to and excited than the first blind date.

The mutated plant seemed to have really changed a lot. Judging from its shape and moving speed, it was more like an animal than a plant.

Xiang Kun didn't move at all, but watched the movement of the blue dot with piercing eyes, slowly waiting for it to approach.

However, as the distance got closer, Xiang Kun, who had super vision, night vision and infrared imaging modes, felt something was wrong after switching the vision mode a few times.

Because of the "blue dot" coming so fast, he can already roughly judge its size, which should only be the size of a normal washbasin, and its moving shape is also a bit strange, sometimes like crawling on the ground, sometimes It seems to be jumping and "throwing" itself out.

What kind of weird thing is this?

Xiang Kun frowned more and more as he watched, and his left hand began to slowly reach for the compound bow next to him.

When approaching the foot of the mountain, under the infrared imaging mode, the "blue dot" stopped moving.

Xiang Kun frowned, what is this thing doing? Impossible to attack there, it doesn't have mortars...

Just when he was wondering, Xiang Kun suddenly discovered that the "blue dot" began to move rapidly to the left of Xiang Kun's position. After moving for a while, it stopped again, then moved to the right, and returned to its original position. , and continue moving to the right.

Xiang Kun was confused, what is this thing doing?

After moving to the right for a while, the "blue dot" began to turn around, and moved quickly, as if it was about to leave?

Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, before he had time to think about it, he picked up the compound bow with his left hand, and took out two arrows from the bow bag with his right hand, biting one in his mouth and holding the other in his hand, and ran across the mountain with his bare feet And down—in the mountains and forests, he can run faster with bare feet than with shoes on, and he can handle various complex terrains better. Of course, even with his current physique, his feet would be bloody and bloody after running too far, and he could only bear the pain and wait for it to heal itself.

Xiang Kun rushed down from the mountainside, and basically used jumping for a long distance. Because of his rich experience in "mountain rushing" and the fact that he deliberately stepped on and observed when he came here in the afternoon, he had already planned the fastest route down the mountain, so The speed of going down the mountain is extremely fast.

But the speed of that "blue dot" is also very fast, passing through the forest at high speed.

After rushing down the mountain, without the advantage of a high point, Xiang Kun's infrared imaging mode also had a limited penetration distance, so he could no longer directly lock the target with his sight, and could only rely on scent tracking.

He already smelled the "special smell" of that mutated creature, and this smell came from the same source as the smell he smelled from those "branches" during the day!

Although he was running with all his strength, Xiang Kun still started to slow down when he was approaching the stop before the "blue dot", switching the visual mode to observe.

Xiang Kun thought that if the mutated creature was a plant before, its IQ should not be much higher, but after all, it was just his guess, and some caution is still needed, otherwise if it falls into a trap set by a "plant" , Losing face is a minor matter, but losing life is a major matter.
