After nightfall, Xiang Kun did not blindly search everywhere, but cleared a piece of mud, broke off a branch, and carried out a search based on the area that had been explored in the past three days and judged by smell that there was a "branch" of the mutant creature. mark.

Xiang Kun put himself into the perspective of the mutated creature, and then guessed its possible behavior patterns and activity trajectories based on known and its various abilities.

Undoubtedly, the "branches" scattered all over the forest can help the mutant creature to guard and hunt.

So it stands to reason that the area with the most distribution is the area where hunting is most common, and the other is near the nest.

But for hunting, based on the appetite shown by that mutated creature and the amount of blood it needs, it should generally be hunting medium and large animals, or a large number of small animals. The distribution area will not be so small, and it will not be concentrated in a certain place. . And with its hunting method, it should lure and devour wild beasts with plants such as red fruits, and then deal with them easily. There is no difficulty, and it does not need too many "branches" to assist.

Therefore, the place where the "branches" are concentrated is more likely to be near the place where its nest is located.

Xiang Kun thought of the place where the red fruit appeared before, attracting leopards, and the surrounding "branches" were denser than other areas.

Although he didn't find anything special in that area before, it didn't mean his guess was invalid.

So Xiang Kun wiped off the drawing on the ground, took his bow and arrows and shoes, and returned to the area where the red fruit appeared.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult to tell the direction in such a large mountain forest without the help of equipment, but Xiang Kun has a few balls scattered after entering the mountain that have established a "supersensory connection" to help him establish distance sensing, plus With super strong memory and thinking ability, it is easy to find the path you have traveled, the places you have been and where you are.

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

Maybe there are more "branches" here, but it's just a coincidence, so the mutant creature wasn't deliberately arranged?

Xiang Kun climbed up a taller tree, jumped straight to the top of the tree, and then looked around, continuing to substitute the mutant creature in his mind, thinking about its possible behavior pattern.

Then Xiang Kun thought of the shape of the "blue dot" when it flew out of the cliff, and his experience when he went to explore the giant owl's habitat, so he cast his gaze diagonally upwards.

Xiang Kun came down from the tree,

He started to climb the mountain, but he didn't 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 to go.

Standing on the not-so-high cliff on the side of the mountain, Xiang Kun carefully discerned and explored with his sense of smell, and indeed he smelled the smell he was looking for.

Then he put his shoes on the top of the cliff and began to climb down with bow and quiver on his back.

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

Relying on his sense of smell, Xiang Kun discovered that there were some "branches" in one of the vines, and there were a large number of snakes entrenched there.

It was a cliff cave covered by vines and other green plants!

In this position, Xiang Kun could vaguely smell a variety of smells from the cave, including various plant and animal smells, as well as the special smell unique to the mutated creature.

Xiang Kun was now 80% sure that the cave on the cliff should be the lair or one of the mutated creatures' lairs.

Various plans flashed through his mind quickly, including lurking at the side, waiting for the mutated creature to enter the cave, or even waiting for it to drink blood before making a move, blocking it in the cave, and trying to capture it alive. Or just hide it by the side, and when it comes back, give it an arrow.

But he quickly ruled out these thoughts, because he knew that at this moment, the mutated creature probably already knew that he had found this cave.

This is also the role of so many "branches" here.

So after thinking about it for a few seconds, Xiang Kun decided to explore the cave first.

But thinking of the trap before, Xiang Kun climbed back vigilantly, took out his bow and set up an arrow, and shot two arrows at the vine at the entrance of the cave.

There was no corrosive liquid this time, and the two arrows were firmly inserted into the thickest vine.

Xiang Kun didn't take it lightly. If it was really a lair of mutated creatures, there might be other traps or defense mechanisms.

He pulled the vines, picked at the rock points, and moved towards the cave carefully and slowly.

And the poisonous snake entrenched at the entrance of the cave also noticed Xiang Kun, and one of them spit out a message to him to warn him.

Xiang Kun could tell that it was a poisonous snake, but he wasn't very worried. He didn't make a move, and directly used "mental shock" on the snake that was warning him. Not only the snake, but all the snakes near the entrance of the cave scattered all at once. and flee.

Xiang Kun was a little strange. At this time, most of the snakes in the mountain had already hibernated. After he entered the mountain this time, he didn't even meet a single snake. He didn't expect to meet a nest here. This is because of their habits. all changed? Or is this kind of snake hibernating late?

In addition to the snake's nest, there was a large beehive next to it. Xiang Kun still used the same method to drive away the beehive. After getting back the two arrows, he pushed aside the vines and other green plants, and successfully squeezed into the beehive. cave.

Although the mutated creature looked about the size of a washbasin, the cave was not small, and Xiang Kun couldn't even touch the top of the cave when he entered it.

After checking the "special smell" part of the vines covering the hole, Xiang Kun probably understood the defense strategy of the mutated creature. It should make that part of the "branch" have the characteristics of attracting snakes, bees and other animals , and let them guard this area spontaneously, becoming free guards of this cave.

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

The hole is not deep, and you can see the end at a glance.

The cave is also covered with various vines, and six large birds are wrapped around and restrained.

Under Xiang Kun's infrared imaging mode, these vine-wrapped birds were still emitting heat, and they could be seen to be alive, but seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and coma.

Holding an arrow, Xiang Kun poked and stabbed it around, carefully checking whether there were other defense mechanisms in the cave, and was ready to fly out of the cave at any time, using those vines to cling to the cliff .

However, judging from the vines and other plant parts with the "special smell" around the hole, the mutated creature should use those "branches" to make some defensive arrangements after drinking blood and before falling asleep, just like before. It should be very troublesome, just like the traps, and it cannot last for too long.

Under normal circumstances, apart from the snakes and bees "guarding" outside the cave, there seems to be no other defense measures.

Thinking about it, the normal beasts would not be able to come to this kind of place. What's more, there are poisonous snakes and bee swarms, no wild beast would be so troubled. Even if there is a wild beast coming in, I'm afraid it will come to deliver food to it.

Xiang Kun walked in slowly, inspecting the six bound and unconscious birds, which seemed to be the next food for the mutated creature to drink blood?

As for how it got here, Xiang Kun speculated that the mutated creature controlled the "branch" to grow some fruit outside the cliff, luring passing birds to eat it, and brought it in after eating.

However, judging from the dead wild boar captured by Anchor Xue before, the mutated creature does not bring its prey back to the cave to drink blood every time.

Could it be that it did this this time to hide from itself?

But why hasn't it drank blood yet? It's because it thinks it's not safe to hide in this cave and fall asleep after drinking blood?

If it thought so, it didn't think wrong, no, Xiang Kun found the location of this cave...

Xiang Kun realized that the mutant creature had probably reached the blood-drinking period and needed to drink blood.

Judging from the state of those birds, it shouldn't take more than a day to be captured, and it may have endured the whole day.

According to Xiang Kun's own experience of resisting the hunger of drinking blood, the time after nightfall is the most difficult. Either he can't help but hunt other animals outside to drink blood, or he will return to the cave soon.

But Xiang Kun is now in this cave, and the mutated creature has a high probability of knowing it, so how would it choose?

Xiang Kun walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the distant mountains and forests, searched carefully, and soon found a small blue dot by relying on the infrared imaging mode - it was the mutant creature.

Is this waiting for me to leave?

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

So what is it doing now?

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

That's right, it is now affected by hunger, and it's night again, so it should be very manic. The lair is occupied by humanoid mutant creatures, isn't it very angry?

Find any prey outside to hunt and drink blood, there is no safe place to sleep, and afraid of being found by that humanoid mutant creature, there is no power to resist.

So, it is actually hesitating to attack me now?

Xiang Kun felt that this time he would not return empty-handed from his trip to the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains. He knew very well what the hunger caused by drinking blood would feel like after nightfall. With the passage of time and external stimuli, this feeling would become stronger and more difficult to control.

Regardless of whether this mutated creature was originally a plant or an animal, no matter how high its IQ became through mutation and evolution, it was not human after all. Even Xiang Kun, who has always been calm and has many means, is like dry firewood in that situation. It will ignite as soon as it touches a spark, let alone it?

Xiang Kun straightened his back and quickly went down the mountain along the vines and various plants on the edge of the cliff. In the process, he scratched many new wounds, but he didn't care.

Shuttle through the forest, walking slowly in the direction where he saw the blue dot, Xiang Kun was not careless at all, and still maintained extremely high vigilance.

After walking for a certain distance, he stopped suddenly, raised his head and looked at the starless night sky through the gap between the branches and leaves, frowning slightly.

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