What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun lay in the grass at the bottom of the hillside, hugging his knees and wailing twice from time to time. After more than three hours, there was still no sign of the mutated creature that he hadn't noticed.

There was a "branch" not far from Xiang Kun that exuded a special smell, so he was not worried that the mutated creature could not find him.

It seemed that either the mutant creature had a really high IQ, or it was particularly cowardly and cautious.

However, judging from what happened to the three of Anchor Xue before, if they were killed by that mutated creature, then this guy is actually very cruel - it is unlikely that it killed three people just to drink blood.

Xiang Kun stopped pretending to be miserable, got up and patted the weeds and dirt on his body, and pointed his middle finger at the "branch" that looked like an ordinary weed, regardless of whether the mutated creature could pass through this "branch" or not. "Branch" sees the scene, even if he sees it, he can understand what it means.

After picking up the compound bow, bow bag, and shoes, Xiang Kun tore off the "branch", threw it on the ground and crushed it with his feet.

If the mutated creature had made up its mind to avoid him, then Xiang Kun would probably return empty-handed this time. It is impossible for him to stay in this no man's land mountain forest for too long. Under the condition that there are other mutant creatures, there is no difference between drinking blood and falling asleep here or courting death.

Obviously, this mutated creature is different from the giant owl and Guo Tianxiang. Before encountering Xiang Kun, the latter two were already in a state of desperately thirsting for the blood of other mutated creatures, so Xiang Kun was looking for an opportunity to counterattack. kill without being in the position of the hunter.

But now this mutant creature, like Xiang Kun, should not be in that state, so it can be more rational and cautious.

Xiang Kun originally thought that the mutated creature might be mutated from a plant, and would follow more primitive instincts without having a high IQ. But looking at it now, its IQ is probably not too low, and it may even be much stronger than that giant owl.

Xiang Kun was going to search here for another day, and if he still couldn't find the mutated creature or its lair, he was going to leave.

But what he didn't expect was that before nightfall, he followed the smell of blood to find the leopard that was affected by the red fruit and wanted to attack him.

The leopard was lying in the grass, dead, with a small wound on its body, just like the wild boar's wound in the anchor Xue's video.

Xiang Kun touched the leopard's fur and sighed softly: "This is a nationally protected animal..."

obviously,

It was also hunted by the mutated creature - Xiang Kun also confirmed this from the "special smell" left by the leopard carcass and its surroundings, which was stronger than the "branches" "grafted" on other plants Much more, obviously it was the mutant creature's body that made the move.

It drank blood?

In other words, the red fruit that appeared earlier to lure the leopard was not necessarily aimed at Xiang Kun, but it was "hunting" the blood-drinking target when it was time to drink blood?

According to the law, shouldn't it go into a deep sleep?

After all, drowsiness after drinking blood should be a characteristic of mutant creatures like them, at least for the three samples Xiang Kun, Owl, and Guo Tianxiang.

After drinking blood, the giant owl swallows stones in its belly to suppress sleepiness, and then flies back to its nest on the cliff.

Although this mutated creature had demonstrated the ability to fly before, Xiang Kun speculated that there should be some restrictions on its ability to fly, unlike birds that can fly whenever they want, so the nest may not be too far away, so you can try to track it down.

Of course, if it is very cautious to pass a cliff or other fault to block the smell, that can't be helped.

Following the scent left by the leopard's corpse, Xiang Kun didn't take too long to find the possible "nest" of the mutated creature.

It was a towering tree. Looking up, if it weren't for Xiang Kun's excellent eyesight, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find a "big ball" that seemed to be wrapped in various branches and vines "hidden" among the branches and leaves on the tree.

The "special smell" on it is very strong, obviously different from other "grafted" "branches", and there is a high possibility that the body of the mutated creature is sleeping in it.

But Xiang Kun was a little suspicious, because he had just checked the leopard's body, and there was still blood oozing from the wound, and there were pools of blood nearby. Compared with the condition of the wild boar in Xue's video, this leopard There is too much blood left.

And if the mutated creature had to drink up a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms before drinking blood, then there is no reason why a leopard weighing about 30 kilograms can't finish drinking the blood now.

Xiang Kun even speculated from the blood volume of the leopard's body that maybe the mutated creature didn't drink blood, but simply killed the leopard.

Then he was able to find this place following the smell in less than twenty minutes, maybe it wasn't luck, but the mutated creature deliberately lured him?

Could it have thought that Xiang Kun would think that when he saw it hunted its prey, it might be looking for a place to sleep, so he followed the smell to find the "big ball" on the tree?

If it could really use this logic to set traps, then Xiang Kun would have to raise its IQ a bit.

But judging from the smell, the mutated creature should be in the "big ball" woven of branches and vines like a nest on the tree. Could it be that it was waiting for Xiang Kun to climb up and make a sudden blow? Or the tree itself, what traps?

Now that he knew that this was most likely a trap deliberately lured by the mutated creature, Xiang Kun would naturally not be careless. Instead of climbing up the tree trunk directly, he found a nearby tree and climbed up with a bow on his back.

Climbing to the halfway up the tree, Xiang Kun turned on the infrared imaging vision mode, wanting to see if the "blue dot" was inside the "big ball", but the outer layers of branches and tendrils might have covered it. There are too many layers, the heat source is isolated, and the inside cannot be seen through.

Xiang Kun found a position on the tree, clamped the branches between his legs, fixed his body, then took off the compound bow, took out two arrows, one in his mouth, one in his hand, and slowly put it on the bow Up, then push the bow, draw the bow, aim.

The arrow left the string, and it arrived in an instant, and plunged into the green "big ball".

Xiang Kun, who had a keen sense of hearing, could even hear a crisp "poof", and the whole arrow sank into three quarters of it.

Then, something unexpected happened to Xiang Kun. After being shot by the arrow, the branches and tendrils around the "big ball" "exploded" a piece of green liquid, and then under Xiang Kun's infrared imaging visual mode, a large area of ​​red appeared out of thin air. Like a sun suddenly born.

White smoke rises, and the liquid in the branches wrapped in layers seems to be mixed with another liquid, and the temperature quickly reaches the boiling point, spraying and bursting, like a balloon filled with water It's as if it exploded on a tree, but the "water" inside is all extremely corrosive liquid.

Watching the place where the tree was touched by the liquid rapidly corrode and smoke, Xiang Kun couldn't help but cursed secretly.

Is that mutated creature actually so sinister?

If Xiang Kun was a little careless, he climbed up the tree by himself, and then used some tool to try to open the layers of branches, and then the liquid exploded, and the corrosive liquid poured down his head and face, he probably would have gone straight from the tree. If you fall from a tree, even if you don't fall to your death, you may be seriously injured if you get soaked all over your body.

This is so cruel!

How treacherous!

But this guy's ability is really quite powerful in this mountain forest full of plants! Obviously those "branches" are not just used to detect or lure other creatures to eat them.

If other creatures can't tell which are the "branches" of the "grafting" of mutated creatures through the "special smell" like Xiang Kun, then it will be easier to get caught, and it is completely impossible to guard against.

And how did this highly corrosive liquid come out? Is there such a plant? Or did it "pinch it out" by itself?

In the animal world, Xiang Kun remembered seeing "bomb beetles" with similar abilities before, but he had never seen plants.

While being surprised, Xiang Kun had already started searching around by smell, hearing and vision, because after the "big ball" burst, there was no sign of the mutated creature, and it was not inside.

Thinking about it, the strong smell that made him mistake it for the body of the mutated creature should be some body tissues left in it. It is possible that those body tissues are also directly related to this highly corrosive liquid.

Since it has set such a trap, when the trap is triggered, it should come over and prepare to "add insult to injury", "harvest the spoils", and "take advantage of the illness".

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Xiang Kun saw a "blue dot" appearing on a tree in the distance through the infrared imaging visual mode.

But as soon as the "blue dot" appeared in Xiang Kun's sight, it disappeared quickly - this guy obviously found that Xiang Kun hadn't been hit, and ran away without hesitation!

Damn it!

Xiang Kun cursed secretly, regretting that he didn't get off the tree immediately and lay on the ground pretending to be injured.

Although that may not completely fool the mutant creature, it should be able to fool it a little closer, at least giving him a chance to shoot with a bow.

Xiang Kun didn't chase the mutated creature anymore. With the distance between them and the comparison of their speed last time, he knew that it was useless to chase him.

From this direction, it won't be too far, and this guy can "fly" away by taking advantage of the terrain. Because the speed couldn't keep up, Xiang Kun couldn't get it within range before it "flyed" away, and killed it with a bow and arrow.

Moreover, after seeing the scene just now, Xiang Kun also raised his IQ evaluation of the mutant creature by one level again, and he needs to be more cautious in dealing with it. Its direct combat power may not be very strong, but this mountain forest can be said to be carefully thought out by it. Arranged "home field". It's really not something Xiang Kun can ignore like the strong corrosive liquid just now.

After getting down from the tree, Xiang Kun immediately found that a large number of insects of different sizes had died around them. Most of these insects had not been in direct contact with the strong corrosive liquid. It can be seen that these liquids are not only corrosive, but also highly toxic. No wonder there are so many insects. the stench.

Xiang Kun subconsciously lowered his breathing rate. The toxicity of these liquids after volatilization should not be enough for him, so he didn't have any effects or feelings, but he should be careful.

Xiang Kun carefully dipped some unreacted liquid with his little finger, and felt the tingling pain on his skin. It was obvious that his flesh and blood couldn't bear this corrosive liquid. If it arrives, it will definitely be very uncomfortable and have a great impact. Especially the eyes, nose and other important organs, if they are caught off guard, their combat effectiveness will be seriously affected in a short period of time.

But judging from the performance of the mutated creature, it shouldn't be easy to get so much corrosive liquid at once, otherwise why didn't it use it when it was chased before?

That big tree is very miserable. Seeing how corroded it is, it may be GG soon.

Xiang Kun carefully inspected the places where the corrosive liquid was stained on the tree and how the liquid spilled onto the ground, and soon discovered that a small part of the liquid was turning into gray powder.

Those liquids were mixed with other corrosive liquids, and if Xiang Kun hadn't been careful enough, it would be difficult to find them.

From this point, it can be seen that part of the liquid that exploded just now came from the body tissue of the mutated creature.

Xiang Kun picked up his arrow from the ground, but the body of the arrow was not corroded by the liquid. Although it fell from a high place, it was cushioned by the branches and leaves in the middle, and the ground was soft, so there was no damage.

Xiang Kun raised his head, observed the original position of the "big ball", and speculated in his heart that the mutated creature should have already started to prepare here in advance, and then went to kill the leopard, creating the illusion of drinking blood, and then returned Here, after finishing the arrangement, they should "fly" away directly from the tree, use the other trees to quickly leave and hide, and wait for Xiang Kun to make a move.

However, judging from its "appearance" later, the surrounding "branches" should not be able to directly transmit image information to it, and it is impossible for it to know the situation at the scene.

As the sky was getting darker, Xiang Kun went to check the place where the "blue dot" had just been discovered, followed the smell for a while, and found that it was going to a higher place again.

Xiang Kun didn't continue to follow, thinking about its operation, there must be no clues to follow over there, and the past was just a waste of effort.

He has already made a decision. For the next day, his main goal is to find the "nest" of the mutated creature.

If you can't find it, leave immediately and return to the city where you live before the blood-drinking period.

Xiang Kun knew that the key to catching the mutated creature lay in its blood-drinking period.

If it had to drink blood within the next 24 hours and then fell into a deep sleep, Xiang Kun's chance would come. Otherwise, if it deliberately wants to hide, Xiang Kun is really not sure that he can catch it in this mountain forest.

As for its blood-drinking period, Xiang Kun was active in this area during this period. Except for today's leopard, he did not find any animals that were killed recently and were drunk by the mutated creature - he wanted to determine whether it was mutated Animal carcasses that are blood-drinking creatures, you only need to smell the "special smell" to know.

From the various "branches" scattered throughout this area, we can know that this is the territory of the mutated creature. Its hunting area and sleeping and resting lair should also be in this area. It should not be a last resort. Abandoning the territory and leaving.

Maybe it was also because it was eager to drink blood, so after running away yesterday, it took so much effort today to set up such a trap to deal with Xiang Kun.
