What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun carefully looked at the mouthpart that was torn out of his hand, and at some organs and tissues connected to its end, and couldn't figure out what these organs and tissues were for, because it was different from the various biological and medical subjects he had seen before. The organs in the books are not quite similar.

He checked the dead spider's body again, carefully opened its head, knocked on its eyes, and switched to the infrared imaging mode for observation.

It is basically confirmed that this mutant spider is GG.

It seems that this obviously very hard mouthpart should be the lifeblood of this mutated spider. Once it is pulled out, it will immediately burp.

It can also be seen that the mutated spider just now is really at the end of its rope and has nothing to do.

But if it was really stabbed in the eye by its mouthpiece, Xiang Kun reckoned that it would be easy to lose one eye. If he got closer, it would not be impossible for his brain to be pierced directly.

Xiang Kun put the mouthpiece next to the spider's corpse, then picked up his phone and started taking pictures - since he entered the mountain, he switched his phone to flight mode + deep power saving mode, and he couldn't receive a signal here anyway. Except for taking pictures a few times, it has basically never been taken out, so it still has power support until now.

I turned on the flash and took several pictures, including the inside of the spider's body. Anyway, its abdomen is now wide open, and there is no need for an autopsy.

The structure of this spider is indeed a bit complicated and weird. I will find time to study it later to see how it mutated and evolved to what it is now.

Putting away his mobile phone, Xiang Kun looked at the spider's body but found it difficult. According to the law, after the mutated creature died, its body tissue should soon turn to ashes, and he had to drink blood quickly.

But how do you say that?

Moreover, the spider was injured a little bit badly before, and was beaten a bit badly. Half of its body was smashed by stones, and it lost a lot of blood.

Xiang Kun carefully pawed at the spider's body. He had discovered before that the blood of this mutated spider was also red, not the green, cyan, blue or other colors he thought.

Looking at the blood, his urge to drink blood surged immediately, all the cells in his body seemed to be cheering, waving chopsticks, knives and forks, telling him to drink blood quickly.

When he was pulling the spider to find a place to drink blood, he somehow felt like eating a crab for the first time when he was a child...

According to the scheduled time,

His blood-drinking period this time should be at noon tomorrow, so even if he set off now to rush back, he must still be on the way when the hunger strikes. But judging from previous experience, if he drank the blood of a mutant creature, the period of deep sleep would be greatly shortened, which could guarantee that he would not have any problems on the way back.

However, the size and weight of this mutated spider can be considered a giant compared to other spiders, but it is still far behind the mutated owl. After being injured, he lost a lot of blood, so Xiang Kun drank a little blood after tossing for a while, and most of it was mixed with rainwater. If the blood is simply counted, it may not be enough for 50ml.

If it was rabbit blood, this amount of blood would not even be enough to appetize, but now he already felt joyful and full, and even started to feel drowsy.

Xiang Kun stood up, wiped the rainwater and blood stains on his face, stretched out his hand to let the rain wash away the stones he had just taken out of the spider, and thought about where he would fall into a deep sleep.

Under normal circumstances, if he fell asleep after drinking blood, it would last about 25 hours. However, after drinking the blood of the mutated creature, the sleeping time would be greatly shortened. The first time he drank the blood of the giant owl, the sleeping time was more than an hour. The second time Guo Tianxiang's blood was 30 to 40 minutes. The difference in sleeping time may be related to the degree of variation of the blood source.

He originally thought that he only drank such a little spider's blood this time, it might not be enough, and he needed to hunt other animals to get blood, but he didn't expect that he would have enough joy and satisfaction directly, because of this The spider has a high degree of mutation, or is it because it has died, or this part of blood is just more important and particularly efficient?

It stands to reason that since he has already felt drowsy, his deep sleep should not be too long this time. It may be within half an hour if it is fast, and it should not exceed two hours if it is slow.

But during this time, he was still at his most vulnerable, unable to resist, so he had to choose a good place to sleep, or could he go to the previous lair of the mutated spider, the hidden cave on the cliff?

But it's a bit far away, and it may take a long time to walk there, and it can't be said that it's safe there.

Or climb up a tree to nest? Hope you don't get struck by lightning.

Watching the spider's body and various parts of its body dissipate in the rain little by little, turning into gray powder, soaking in the water and soil, as if being "dissolved" by the rain.

Xiang Kun didn't choose to find a place to fall asleep immediately, but swallowed the stone into his stomach, relying on the discomfort in his stomach to temporarily "suppress" his sleepiness.

He walked back along the route he traced all the way, quickly checking the traces along the way.

Just now Xiang Kun faintly felt that something was wrong. Although he didn't figure out what was wrong for a while, he knew that if he felt this way, it must mean that he had obtained some special sensory information, but the processing power of his brain was not enough, and he hadn't yet "Calculating" specific results is only a warning from intuition in advance.

Walking all the way back, he kept observing the traces on the road, and at the same time recalled the tracking process at that time, and then he had to fight against drowsiness and the pain caused by suppressing the stone in his belly, which was very hard.

But if he was not sure, Xiang Kun really didn't dare to fall into a deep sleep casually.

For him now, sleeping in this deep mountain and old forest, what worries him the most is not beasts, poisonous insects, etc. - his body temperature is relatively low, and the smell is different from ordinary creatures. Even when he is asleep, ordinary poisonous insects, poisonous insects, etc. Wild animals are unlikely to pose a threat to him.

Only other mutated creatures and humans are the issues he has to consider, and they will pose a real threat to him.

Fast forward in the rain, all the way back to the place where he avoided the venom sprayed by the mutant spider from the sky, and picked up the first stone he threw, as well as the bow, bow bag, and torn pieces of clothes thrown aside.

Then, not far from the place where the mutated spider was hit by stones and fell to the ground, under Xiang Kun's infrared imaging vision mode, he found a waist-length shrub with a little bit of blue.

Under the visual mode obtained from Guo Tianxiang, this color basically means that it is a mutated creature.

Xiang Kun walked closer, and his vision switched to night vision mode. The blue dots were some pearl-sized red beads with a thin film on the outside, which looked like blood inside—it might actually be blood.

Before the mutated spider came here, before the rain started, Xiang Kun could tell from the smell that a small part of the shrub was a "branch" of the mutated spider, but he was sure that on the shrub at that time, These tiny beads are absent, and the blue dots are not visible in infrared imaging mode.

In other words, these blue dots only appeared after he chased the injured mutant spider away.

Xiang Kun turned his gaze to the place where the mutated spider fell before. There was a lot of its body tissue and blood left there before. Naturally, it can't be seen at all at this time. It should have turned into gray powder and disappeared after being washed away by the rain.

The things in the small beads on the bush should have been extracted from the remaining tissues and blood by some method, but why didn't they disappear and turn gray? Existed even after the mutated spider died? Isn't it all dead, existing in a new form?

Xiang Kun stood in front of the bush, the branches and leaves with red beads swaying under the rain, as if trembling and frightened.

He speculated that these pearl-sized, bead-like things should be some kind of way for the mutated spider to continue itself when it knew it was going to die, and it might be the same as its ability to make and control "branches". source. It's just that I don't know if these things were finally born as its "clone", or its "children", or a new mutant creature?

Xiang Kun actually wanted to keep these tiny red beads, slowly observe their changes, and see what they would look like. This would definitely help him find the source of the mutation and understand the pattern of the mutation.

And in itself, he was also very curious about it.

But now he is in the extreme sleepiness after drinking blood, and he doesn't want to be "killed" by this thing while he is sleeping. The ghost knows what it will turn into and how long it will be a threat.

So Xiang Kun took out his phone and took a picture, then picked a small bead, squeezed it open, smelled the thick red liquid that burst out of it, licked it, and was sure it was the blood of the mutated spider.

Smack, smack, Xiang Kun didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the blood, so he simply ate all the beads.

After eliminating the blood in those little red beads, and destroying the "branches" on the bush, Xiang Kun's previous feeling of something wrong disappeared, although he is still not sure how he realized it. If something is wrong, what information is the warning from, but the source is obviously these small beads.

After checking the surroundings again, after making sure that there were no other blue spots, Xiang Kun walked for more than ten minutes, found a shallow pit on the side of the mountain that could shelter from the rain, and lay down, spit out the stones in his stomach and put them away. The outdoor electronic watch specially purchased before the trip was set twice to start timing, and then fell asleep in seconds.

...

When Xiang Kun woke up, the rain hadn't stopped, it just became smaller, but the sky was obviously brighter.

He glanced at the time on the electronic watch on his wrist. It was 33 minutes, which was within the expected time range.

He immediately got up from the ground and checked his changes.

He didn't grow eight arms, didn't grow several eyes, and didn't grow weird green stripes or vines. On the surface, he was still a very normal man.

However, Xiang Kun clearly felt that his body had changed a lot, and his sensory abilities seemed to have improved so much that he even felt a little dizzy.

After a short period of adaptation, Xiang Kun checked his various sensory abilities again. Looking far away, his pure vision didn't seem to have improved much, and the night vision mode and infrared thermal imaging mode hadn't changed much either.

I sensed the movement around me with my sense of hearing, and my ability to distinguish the type, direction, and sensitivity of the sound has been strengthened, but it is not very obvious.

The same is true for the sense of smell, and there is no leap-forward change.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. The feeling of enhanced perception of surrounding things and greatly increased information collection is very clear, and there should be nothing wrong with it. This feeling was the first time he trained his sense of hearing and smell after he mutated, and then completed a drinking session. After the evolution of blood and sensory abilities, there used to be blood.

Xiang Kun didn't get entangled, and thought about these things slowly after turning back. He continued to check other changes in his body, and took a closer look at his wrist. There were no hidden small holes for spinning, and there were no strong suction cups on his fingers. Feeling the mouth, there is no novel structure. There was no spider silk or the like in the abdomen, and it seemed that organs such as spinnerets and silk glands did not mutate.

Jumping up and down, left and right, the jumping ability has been significantly improved, as if the whole person has become lighter, the core strength of the thighs, waist and abdomen have strengthened a lot, and the joint tissue should also be strengthened accordingly .

He walked into the rain, walked to some bushes and weeds, stretched out his hands to feel these plants carefully, picked another grass and put it in his mouth to chew. After chewing slowly for two or three minutes, the branches and leaves and residue swallowed.

Twenty seconds later, he spat out what he had just swallowed. Looking at the green residue on the ground, he couldn't help frowning.

While sleeping, he dreamed again just like the blood that devoured the blood of other mutated creatures twice before. This time the dream was even more bizarre, with various pictures.

Now he naturally knows that those pictures are part of the mutant spider's memory, and these memory fragments are much more than the giant owl's, but they are still several levels behind Guo Tianxiang.

Xiang Kun still needs to sort out the chronological order of those memory fragments to help him understand, but he can basically be sure that this mutant spider is not only a mutant creature itself, but has also devoured at least two mutant plants - this also verifies Xiang Kun's previous understanding of vampires. Speculation on the existence of mutated plants.

In the memory of the mutated spider, there were a lot of scenes of fighting with those two different types of mutated plants, which made Xiang Kun know many special abilities of those two plants.

And the ability to establish "branches" should also be obtained from one of the two mutated plants.

Xiang Kun knew from the memory screen that there are two kinds of "branches" made by the mutated spider. One is that after it eats a part of the plant, it immediately "continues" an almost identical part from its mouth, which Xiang Kun calls "branches". For the "transformation branch".

The other is that after the mutated spider directly removes a part of the plant, it uses the mouthparts, tail organs, and special organs of the feet to help secrete a large amount of juice and fibers to "reconstruct" a new plant part, "grafting" the original plant part. On the plant, Xiang Kun called it "reconstruction branch".

Both "branches" can smell that "special smell", but only the "reconstructed branch" can bear fruit. Previously, the mutated spider made a fake nest on the tree, which was actually used to design Xiang Kun's trap , is also mainly used "refactoring branch". And after being intercepted, it will turn into gray powder, like mutated biological tissue, it is also a "reconstructed branch".

As for the "transformation branch", in the many memory images of the mutated spiders, no specific functions were seen, but the mutated spiders still "made" a large number of them. According to Xiang Kun's speculation, their existence may be used to detect information And those that help the mutated spiders control the "reconstructed branches" are like "base stations" one by one, responsible for spreading signals.

Xiang Kun believes that the type of fruit, the type of venom secreted, and the way of growth that the "reconstruction branch" can produce have been determined after the reconstruction is completed, just like a pre-set program. But when it is activated and when it starts to "run", the mutant spider will issue specific instructions. If the instruction is to be transmitted to the "reconstruction branch" through the air, it needs the assistance of other "transformation branches".

Of course, these are only Xiang Kun's speculations based on the pictures in the memory fragments for the time being, and they have yet to be further confirmed.

He chewed the grass just now, trying to imitate the "transformation branch" of the mutated spider, but obviously failed, he didn't seem to have mutated the corresponding abilities, or those abilities didn't exist in the same way.

Although the main purpose of this trip had been completed, Xiang Kun did not leave the forest immediately.

He first retrieved the arrow that missed the mutant spider, and then went to retrieve the shoes near the mutant spider's cave. The picture is used to anchor the specific memory.

After "eating" the mutant spider, his blood drinking period was "refreshed" again, and he had 5X24 hours of complete time to consume.

So he spent two days in this mountain forest to test and examine his mutation after drinking blood this time, the degree of improvement in various qualities, whether he had acquired any new abilities, and with the help of field comparisons, to help him understand the mutation. The spider's memory is organized, understood and interpreted.

Two days later, he embarked on the return journey, and it took him more than a day to return to the place where the bow box was hidden.

When walking, climbing and chasing in the forest, he was basically barefoot, so the shoes were still in good condition. However, the T-shirt that was worn into the mountain was torn after being sprayed with corrosive liquid, and the pieces were stuffed in the trouser pocket. As for the overalls, although they are made of a relatively wear-resistant material, when he entered the mountain, he basically used his body to open the way all the way. It looked dirty and broken.

Such an appearance with a bare upper body and a pair of tattered trousers, if you go back to the town, I am afraid that you will be shocked and leave a deep impression on people.

But he had thought about this before coming, so he also brought a set of clothes and the jacket he took off in the bow box. In the bow box—on the way back, he also took all his things with him, except for a ball left near the mutated spider cave for positioning when revisiting the old place in the future, all other things were taken away.

Hearing the words of the two people who got on the Prado and left outside the hotel before, Xiang Kun suspected that the "company" they were talking about might have some knowledge of the existence of mutant creatures. Maybe after testing the samples taken out of the mountain and the wild boar's body, they might find something, and then send people back into the mountain to investigate.

He didn't want to leave any traces of himself and let the other party track him down.

Xiang Kun was still the same as when he came here, instead of stopping the car at the side of the road, he took a shortcut and walked back to the town. After washing his face with the water from the public sink and sorting out his clothes, Xiang Kun went to a drink shop, charged his phone, and booked a flight back home.
