What It’s Like Being a Vampire

　　 Chapter 41 Hunting

　　 I looked at the time, it was already more than two in the morning.

　　 Xiangkun didn't know if the giant owl had the same rapid recovery ability as him. Now he found a place to rest and lick his wounds and wait for a chance to hunt him again, or he would fly away after he had rested.

　　 But if you want to find that owl, it should be the easiest before dawn.

　　 After all, during this time period, the smell of the owl has not disappeared, and Xiangkun's body functions and sense of smell are at their peak before dawn.

　　 What's more, the owl is afraid of people and dare not move during the day. Xiang Kun also didn't want to be hit by someone while hunting the owl.

　　 If possible, Xiang Kun even hopes to catch the giant owl alive.

　　 If it really has a strong recovery ability, it can take some blood every once in a while and turn it into a long-term "meal ticket", which is definitely more cost-effective than a one-off sale.

　　 Besides, he also wanted to observe and study the giant owl to see why it became such a big one, whether it was a new species, or it suddenly mutated like himself, and what was the reason for it.

　　 But it's just a matter of thinking. He doesn't have the equipment and ability to catch that owl alive, and there is no place to raise or research it. After finding the Owl, it must be a fight that cannot be kept.

　　 made a decision, but Xiang Kun did not go out immediately.

　　 Because there is another very important question: even if I find the giant owl, how to catch it?

The short fight between the owl and the owl at the lake was actually only a short ten seconds. He was basically certain that if dragged to the ground, his power would not be inferior to that owl, and he would even have bare hands. , He could also beat the owl half to death-he was pretty sure that he had blinded the owl with one eye at the time. Of course, whether it could recover or how long it would recover is temporarily unknown.

　　 If you bring tools, even if it is just a short knife, a hammer, a screwdriver, etc., it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness and lethality.

　　 But that owl can fly...

　　This determines the initiative to fight or not to fight on Owl.

　　 It was the owl who took the initiative to attack him by the lake, so he was hit on the ground by him.

　　 What if the owl wants to run?

　　 Xiangkun thought about it, definitely don't even think about shotguns, anesthesia guns, etc. Get a crossbow? Or compound bow? The question is, where does he get his bow and crossbow in the middle of the night? And if you get it temporarily, there is no practice and familiarity, and accuracy cannot be guaranteed. If the general arrow is not modified, its lethality is limited. Even if it can really hit it, it may not cause enough damage to make such a large owl lose its ability to fly.

　　 And Xiang Kun just searched for the relevant characteristics of owls, and found that owls not only have strong vision at night, but also have a well-developed sense of smell and hearing. If, like him, it is strengthened after mutation, it will be even more terrifying. If you want to get close to a sneak attack, you may not be able to do it.

　　 So Xiang Kun thought, maybe...

　　 Call the police, right?

　　 Such a big owl is capable of hunting adult huskies, which is quite threatening. And it can also be said to be a cherished species that needs protection.

　　 When the time comes, whether it is the police station, the garden bureau, or any department, there will definitely be more professional equipment and personnel to capture it.

　　 After catching the giant owl, he will definitely send it to a professional organization for corresponding research and observation. Maybe you can find the reason why it can grow so big, and find the factors that cause the mutation.

But Xiang Kun also quickly gave up this idea. For one thing, it was difficult for him to convince the police station or other departments that there was such a big owl, which caused them to pay attention to it. Secondly, it was impossible to send someone to hunt under his command. Catching, after all, he can’t tell others that his scent tracking ability is better than hounds. Thirdly, even if the real owl is caught, it really has the value of research and protection. Even if he is the first to find out, he will not Must be eligible for research progress and reports. And he would definitely not have a chance to get blood from the owl to drink.

　　 Generally speaking, Xiang Kun always likes to make decisions before acting. He first prepares and prepares plans. But when things are coming to an end and there is no time to prepare, he also has the decision to do things first.

　　 So he didn't think about it any more, thinking about it again, it was going to dawn, so he took a Swiss army knife, a flashlight and a screwdriver and went out.

　　 Naturally, there is no time to prepare any weapons now. There is a knife bought specifically for killing rabbits at home, but against that giant owl, this knife is not necessarily better than a screwdriver. On the contrary, going out with a knife is prone to misunderstandings and unnecessary trouble.

　　 3:21 in the morning, Xiang Kun once again came to the lake where he had encountered the giant owl before.

　　 Xiangkun discovered the feathers that the giant owl had fallen to the ground during the fight with him.

　　 Generally speaking, when you see this situation, you will feel that someone should have come and picked up those feathers. Or the wind blows to other places.

　　 But when Xiang Kun left before, he put a few feathers in his trouser pocket, but he couldn't find it when he got home.

At that time, he still wondered if he lost it when he went down to the lake, but now that all the feathers on the lakeside disappeared, he thought of the experiment he had done on himself before—cut off a piece of rice on the belly of his little finger. After a while, after his wound healed, that piece of meat also turned into powder.

　　 These feathers, perhaps the same as the flesh on his little finger, turned into powder and dissipated in the air after leaving the body?

Xiang Kun followed the scent left by the giant owl and started tracking. Although the owl and his fight lasted only ten seconds, both sides were hurt extremely badly and shed a lot of blood, so the smell on both sides had a lot of Residue.

　　Because of the injury, the owl was unable to fly too fast.

Under the influence of wind, the directivity of odors in the air will be a bit erratic, but Xiang Kun does not rely solely on odor tracking. UU reading www.uukanshu.com he judged that the owl’s action style is the same even at night. It is unlikely to fly in the direction of high crowd density, and it must be fleeing in the direction with more mountains, more trees, fewer buildings, and more deserted.

An hour later, Xiang Kun squeezed a leaf and took a deep sniff, then looked up at the bushes on the hillside tens of meters away. Although only a shadow of the tree could be seen from this angle, he knew that the owl was there. .

　　 The location he is now in is where the dead mouse was found before.

He didn’t think that there was a temporary nest for that giant owl, because he had searched the hill in detail before, and there was no odor of that owl, and even the dead mouse should have been thrown down from the air. It never came in.

　　 As for running here now, it is probably only because this lonely mountain is the closest distance, the most suitable place for it to hide and recover.

　　 Xiangkun squeezed the screwdriver in his hand, and walked towards that side slowly.

　　 When Xiang Kun walked out from behind a tree and looked at the giant owl standing on a huge rock, the owl was also looking at him with big eyes.

　　 Obviously, when Xiang Kun determined the position of the owl, the owl also noticed his arrival.

　　 Xiangkun did not rush forward because he observed through the moonlight that most of the owl's head was wounded and the one eye that was blinded by him had recovered more than half.

　　 Obviously, although its recovery speed is not as fast as Xiang Kun, it is also far faster than other animals.

The owl stared at Xiang Kun closely. His huge body adjusted its position slightly as he moved, keeping its face facing each other, and its wings remained half-spread, ready to take off at any time—the position it was in, right. There is no tree branch above it and it can fly away directly.
