What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 210 Tracking in the Forest (Part 1)

Xiang Kun didn't hesitate to waste the opportunity of tracking, carefully checked where the "blue dot" stopped, and found nothing unusual.

But what surprised him was that although judging from the smell, the mutated creature had indeed stayed here, but there were no obvious traces on the ground.

Xiang Kun didn't investigate carefully, and after dropping a ball on the ground that established a "supersensory connection", he continued to chase after him with a bow and arrow.

Barefoot Xiang Kun moves very fast in the forest. Sometimes the grass and obstacles in front of him are too high. He will step on the trees next to him and jump, and even hold a bow and arrow in one hand, while the other hand hangs on a branch like a monkey. Swing your body out.

But the "blue dot" moved faster, and the distance between the two gradually widened.

But Xiang Kun wasn't worried. He had enough patience and stamina to track him down. As long as it couldn't block his scent, it would be very difficult to get rid of him after he had been discovered and locked.

Compared with big cities, in the mountains and forests, there is much less interference from smell sources, and the mountains and forests are not as isolated as reinforced concrete. In addition, Xiang Kun is more sensitive to the "special smell" of other mutated creatures. "Unless he is much faster than him, or uses the environment to block and eliminate the smell, Xiang Kun will not be thrown off by it even if he cannot catch up with it in a short time.

But after chasing for more than an hour, Xiang Kun suddenly realized that it was not good, because based on the judgment of the surrounding terrain in his mind, this direction continued, and it would not be long before he reached the cliff.

After chasing for a while, Xiang Kun didn't speed up to catch up, because he knew that if the "blue dot" was really running towards the cliff, he would definitely not be able to catch up. So he hung the bow on his body and began to climb a very tall tree next to him. Using both hands and feet, he quickly jumped to the top, then took the bow, nocked the arrow, opened the bow, and looked towards the direction of the cliff in the distance.

Ten seconds later, under Xiang Kun's infrared imaging vision mode, the "blue dot" rushed out of the forest and "flyed" out of the cliff.

Based on its flight trajectory and speed, as well as the wind speed at this time, and the distance between them, Xiang Kun instantly made a prediction and shot the arrow.

Although the arrow of that arrow was established by Xiang Kun with a "supersensory connection", the moment he released the arrow, he already had a basic judgment of its flight trajectory and knew where it would finally land.

But this distance is indeed too far, strictly speaking, it is already out of range, and his prediction of the gliding trajectory of the "blue dot" after it rushed into the air cannot be very accurate, so it depends on whether it can be hit or not. A certain amount of luck.

a moment later,

Xiang Kun sighed softly, luck was indeed not on his side, the arrow did not hit the "blue dot".

And that "blue dot" also quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Xiang Kun quickly got down from the tree, continued to run to the edge of the cliff, looked at the mountains in the distance, and quickly switched between night vision mode and infrared imaging mode, but the "blue dot" was nowhere to be seen.

"Another one that can fly?"

Xiang Kun couldn't help but want to spit.

If he was also running on the ground, even if he couldn't keep up with the speed for a short time, he still had the confidence to keep up with the opponent. But this thing can actually fly? So what can he do?

And just according to his prediction, if the "blue dot" glides after rushing out of the cliff, the arrow really has a high chance of hitting.

But judging from the trajectory of the "blue dot" later, it seemed that it could control its posture and direction in the air, so it completely deviated from Xiang Kun's predicted trajectory.

This thing doesn't look like the result of plant mutation, does it?

Xiang Kun recalled that when he switched the night vision mode, he saw the opponent's form, not in the form of flowers, grass, or trees, but like a big spider!

Or does it just look like a spider, but those feet are just mutated roots and branches for easy movement?

Otherwise, how to explain those "branches" scattered all over the forest? How is it impossible for a spider to "graft" plants everywhere?

Or, is this the ability that the spider "evolved" in this forest? Other spiders weave webs, which "weaves" a part of a plant?

It's also possible that it once devoured mutated plants with similar abilities?

Xiang Kun made all kinds of guesses about what kind of existence the mutant creature he met was.

But what upset Xiang Kun the most was that this guy could actually fly! It wouldn't have devoured other mutated birds, right? Xiang Kun also swallowed an owl, why can't he fly?

The other abilities are okay, but being able to fly is really too stupid. Of course, if they were close enough, Xiang Kun believed that with his "arrow technique", it was still possible to kill it with a bow and arrow before it flew away.

The distance before was really too far away.

However, Xiang Kun recalled the trajectory of the "blue dot" "flying" from the cliff, and the range of its control of changing directions. This guy's flying ability should also be limited, otherwise, he would not have to go to the edge of the cliff to "fly" ", when you are directly chased, just stand up from the ground.

But what is the principle of his flight? It looks like there are no wings or other structures that can borrow the wind.

While thinking about it, Xiang Kun groped down from the edge of the cliff to find the arrow he just shot, and also to see if it was possible to find that "special smell" again.

Because of the establishment of a "supersensory connection", Xiang Kun found the arrow in the forest soon after he went down the mountain. It's also good luck, there is no stone or anything, and it can be recycled.

It was already daylight, Xiang Kun did not continue to search far away, but turned back and checked all the way in the direction he came from before, looking for the traces left by the mutant creature when it escaped.

He has already discovered that his previous judgment may be a bit wrong. Whether this mutant creature is a plant or not, its IQ may be much higher than he thought before.

At least when this guy was about to approach Xiang Kun last night, he suddenly noticed something and chose to run away immediately. Otherwise, as long as the distance was closer, it might not be able to escape even if it wanted to.

When walking back, Xiang Kun still didn't find the "trace" caused by the "blue dot"'s rapid movement, but he found a lot of roots or branches that appeared on the road when he came. And these parts, without exception, all carry that faint "special smell" - obviously they are all "branches" that were "grafted" by the mutated creature in advance.

If Xiang Kun was an ordinary human or beast, he would really be delayed or tripped over by these branches and roots.

Based on the positioning of the ball he dropped, Xiang Kun returned to the position where the "blue dot" suddenly stopped last night and stopped moving forward.

It was already bright, and the sun shone into the forest through the gaps in the branches and leaves above his head. Just like last night, Xiang Kun didn't find any obvious traces there.

He stood there, looking at the big rock on the mountainside not far away - that was where he stayed last night.

The mutated creature found that he was normal. Originally, Xiang Kun deliberately wanted him to find out, and then "seduce" him over. The question is why did he come and escape?

As the saying goes, come and go, don’t know each other, communicate, or have a fight? The mutated creatures in the forest should be more wild and aggressive.

Xiang Kun speculated that there are two possibilities:

1. The mutated creature was destroyed through those "branches", knowing that some kind of "unfriendly" creature invaded its territory, so in the middle of the night, it came to check through several "branches" that Xiang Kun deliberately left around, and it turned out that Judging from the distance, Xiang Kun is also a mutant creature, so he didn't dare to provoke him, so he ran away;

2. The mutated creature already knew that Xiang Kun was also a mutated creature through those "branches". "If it doesn't work for Xiang Kun, it's very likely that he will be "eaten" instead, so he chose to run away.

What is the meaning of its large left and right movement? Using this to test Xiang Kun? But Xiang Kun didn't move when it was moving. Why did it choose to run away in the end?

This distance, if judged by smell, is unlikely.

Directly relying on vision, it doesn't seem to be able to see anything.

Or does it have other ways of judging through the "branches" around Xiang Kun?

For example, Xiang Kun's eyes moved along with its long-distance lateral movement, and his neck might have turned slightly, so he was discovered?

A mutant creature that can detect and lock it in advance is likely to be stronger than it—maybe this is how it judges?

Putting away the balls on the ground, Xiang Kun returned to the boulder where he was sitting yesterday, put on his shoes and quiver, and continued walking through the forest.

From time to time, one or two "grafted" "branches" could be found based on the "special smell", but Xiang Kun didn't touch them anymore. Obviously, this area is already the territory of the mutated creature and its habitat. Although Xiang Kun can't lock its location for the time being, if he keeps searching like this, he should be able to find its lair sooner or later - after all, from Xiang Kun Judging from the habits of Kun himself and the other two mutant creatures he has seen, they all have one thing in common, that is, they need time to rest after drinking blood. That mutant creature must have a place where it can rest peacefully after drinking blood .

After walking for a while, Xiang Kun suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and then walked back, returning to the area he had passed by more than ten minutes ago.

In this area, there are more "branches" with "special smell" than other places, and the distribution density is relatively higher.

Xiang Kun sat down against a tree, put his bow and quiver beside him, closed his eyes, and looked like he was resting.

Time passed by, Xiang Kun slowly opened his eyes, and looked at a plant half a person's height three or four meters away, with several red fruits the size of eyeballs popping out.

The color of the fruit is extremely red, as if blood is wrapped inside and is about to ooze out.

And he clearly remembered that there were no such fruits before.

The branch from which the red fruits protruded was one of the "branches" left by the mutated creature.

After Xiang Kun took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the red fruit, he didn't do anything else. He wanted to see what the mutant creature wanted to do.

It didn't take long for Xiang Kun to know what the mutated creature wanted to do. A leopard appeared on a nearby tree, looking at the fruits while staring at Xiang Kun vigilantly.

Holding the bow in one hand and the quiver and shoes in the other, Xiang Kun slowly got up, then stepped back, away from the few red fruits.

In fact, he already knew that the leopard appeared nearby by relying on smell and sound.

I don't know if the fruit that came out was to attract the leopard to attack him, or it was just for the leopard?

Xiang Kun had been paying attention to the leopard's posture and movements, knowing that its attention was mainly on the red fruit, so he wasn't too worried. He backed away slowly, showing that he was not threatening.

Sure enough, after Xiang Kun retreated ten meters away, the leopard jumped down from the tree and slowly approached Hongguo while staring at Xiang Kun vigilantly.

Watching the leopard swallow several red fruits in one gulp, Xiang Kun probably knew how the mutated creature "hunted". Even the carnivorous leopard was attracted to eat the fruit, not to mention the omnivorous wild boar, and There are three Anchor Xue lost in the mountains.

He speculated that these red fruits should have a strong attraction to other creatures and could induce them to swallow them actively, but he could not feel it because he had no appetite for other foods except blood.

After eating the red fruit, the leopard did not leave. It shook its head, stared at Xiang Kun, and growled threateningly.

The red fruit didn't seem to make the leopard lose its ability to move, but aroused its ferocity.

Being stared at by a feline weighing about 30KG, he had the tendency to attack at any time, but Xiang Kun didn't panic at all. When he sensed the leopard before, he was already prepared. When the leopard appeared in the nearby tree During the session, he compared himself with his body shape and posture.

Basically, it can be concluded that even if he doesn't use a bow and arrow, this leopard is no match for him in close combat. No matter in terms of reaction or strength, he has the ability to absolutely suppress it. arrow, you are sure to kill it.

But does it make sense to kill it?

It's not that mutated creature, if it drinks blood after killing it, it's even more courting death if it falls into a deep sleep.

Simply killing is meaningless.

Of course, Xiang Kun also had other ways to deal with the leopard, such as "mental shock" - although I don't know if it would be useful if the leopard was first affected by Hongguo.

But after Xiang Kun thought for a while, the choice he made was:

Turn around and run.

As soon as Xiang Kun ran, the leopard naturally jumped out and gave chase.

If it is an ordinary person, even a good sprinter, it is impossible to outrun a leopard in this kind of terrain, and he will be rushed to it soon.

But Xiang Kun seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. When the leopard was about to pounce on him, he could always make an emergency change to avoid it, and then continue to flee in a "panic".

After running for a long time, the leopard couldn't keep up, and it was a little unstable when it stood still.

Xiang Kun still ran forward desperately without looking back, and had no intention of coming back to pick up a bargain.

After running for a while, Xiang Kun slowed down, and then with a scream, he rolled down a hillside, and his bow, bow bag, and shoes all flew out.

Lying in the haystack at the bottom of the hill, Xiang Kun hugged his knees and howled miserably. Indeed, there were many new wounds on his body from the fall, and his forehead was broken, making him look quite miserable.

Xiang Kun howled miserably while collecting sensory information from the surroundings, paying attention to the possible direction of the mutated creature.

It can be said that he underestimated the IQ of the mutated creature before, and this time he wants to try again, to see if he was chased by the leopard, fell off the hillside and was injured, so that the mutated creature can re-evaluate his strength:

A humanoid mutant who dare not confront the leopard head-on;

A mutated humanoid creature that has been injured and is in great pain;

A mutant humanoid creature whose lethal weapon is no longer at hand;

This is an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack.
