Xiang Kun did not hesitate to waste the opportunity to track, carefully checked the place where the "blue dot" stopped, and found nothing abnormal.

But what made him strange was that although judging by the smell, the mutated creature did stay here, there was no obvious trace on the ground.

Xiang Kun didn't check it carefully, and after throwing a ball on the ground that established a "super sensory connection", he continued to run wildly 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 directly step on the trees next to him, and even hold a bow and arrow in one hand, and swing his body out with a branch like a monkey in the other hand.

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

However, Xiang Kun is not worried, he has enough patience and stamina to track the other party, as long as it can't shield his own scent, it will be difficult to get rid of him when it has been discovered and locked.

Compared with big cities, the mountains and forests have much less interference from the smell source, and the mountains and forests are not as isolated as reinforced concrete, plus Xiang Kun is more sensitive to the "special smells" of other mutated creatures, and the "blue dot" is not much faster than him, or uses the environment to block and eliminate the smell, otherwise, even if Xiang Kun can't catch up with it in a short time, he will not be thrown off by it.

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

After chasing for a while, Xiang Kun didn't speed up the chase again, 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 his bow on his body, and began to climb to a very tall tree beside him, using both his hands and feet, and soon jumped to the top, and then took his bow, set up his arrow, opened his bow, and looked in the direction of the cliff in the distance.

More than ten seconds later, in Xiang Kun's infrared imaging vision mode, the "blue dot" rushed out of the forest and "flew" towards the cliff.

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

Although the arrow of that arrow was Xiang Kun's "supersensory connection", the moment the arrow was released, he already basically had a judgment of its flight trajectory and knew where it finally landed.

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

After a while, Xiang Kun sighed lightly, luck was indeed not on his side, and the arrow did not hit the "blue dot".

And the "blue dot" 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 and forests in the distance, and quickly switched between night vision mode and infrared imaging mode, but the "blue dot" was no longer a trace.

"Met another one who can fly?"

Xiang Kun couldn't help but want to spit.

If he also runs on the ground, even if he can't keep up with the speed in a short period of time, he is confident that he can follow the opponent closely. But what can he do?

And according to his prediction just now, if the "blue dot" was gliding after rushing off the cliff, the arrow really had a good chance of hitting.

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

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

Xiang Kun recalled that when he switched the night vision mode, the form of the other party he saw was not the form of a flower, grass, or tree, but like a big spider!

Or do they just look like spiders, when those feet are just rhizomes and branches that are easy to move after mutation?

Otherwise, how can we explain the "branches" scattered all over the mountains and forests? How can a spider not be able to "graft" plants everywhere?

Or is this the ability of the spider to "evolve" in this mountain forest? Other spiders weave webs, and they "weave" part of the plant?

Perhaps, it once devoured mutated plants with similar abilities?

Xiang Kun made all kinds of guesses, speculating about what kind of existence this mutated creature he had encountered.

But what makes Xiang Kun the most unhappy is that this guy can actually fly! It can't swallow other mutant birds, right? Xiang Kun has also swallowed owls, why can't he fly?

Other abilities are good to say, but the fact that they can fly is really too good. Of course, if they were close enough, Xiang Kun believed that with his "archery technique", it was still possible to take it down with a bow and arrow before it flew away.

The distance before was too far away.

However, Xiang Kun recalled the trajectory of the "blue dot" "flying" out of the cliff, as well as the amplitude of its control of the change of direction, this guy's flight ability should also have certain limitations, otherwise he would not have to "fly" to the edge of this cliff, and he would just rise from the ground when he was chased.

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

Xiang Kun thought about it as he groped his way down the cliff to find the arrow he had just shot, and by the way, to see if it was possible to find the "special smell" again.

Because of the establishment of the "super sensory connection", after Xiang Kun went down the mountain, he soon found the arrow in the forest. It's also lucky, I didn't hit the stone or anything, and the recycling can still be used.

The sky was already dark, and Xiang Kun did not continue to search in the distance, but turned back and checked all the way in the direction he had come from, looking for the traces left by the mutant creature when it fled.

He had already realized that his previous judgment might have been wrong, and that this mutated creature, whether it was a plant or not, might have a much higher IQ than he had previously thought.

At least when this thing was about to approach Xiang Kun last night, it suddenly noticed something, and chose to run away as soon as possible, otherwise as long as the distance was closer, it might not be able to escape if it wanted to.

When he walked back, Xiang Kun still didn't find the "traces" caused by the rapid movement of the "blue dot", but he found that there were many rhizomes or branches that appeared abruptly across the two trees on the road when he came, and these parts, without exception, all had a faint "special smell" - obviously they were all "branches" that the mutated creature had "grafted" beforehand.

If Xiang Kun was an ordinary human or a beast, he would probably be hindered or tripped by these branches and rhizomes.

Xiang Kun positioned himself according to the ball he threw down, and returned to the position where the "blue dot" suddenly stopped last night and no longer moved forward.

It was already dawn, and the sun was shining into the forest through the gaps in the branches and leaves overhead, and as last night, Xiang Kun found no obvious traces in that place.

He stood there, looking at the big rock on the mountainside not far away—where he had been last night.

It's normal for the mutant creature to find him, originally Xiang Kun deliberately wanted him to find out, and then "seduced" him, the question is why did it come and run away?

As the saying goes, if you don't know each other, don't communicate, don't fight? The mutated creatures in the mountains and forests should be more wild and aggressive.

Xiang Kun speculated that there are two possibilities:

1, the mutant creature was destroyed through those "branches", and knew that there was some kind of "unfriendly" creature that invaded the territory, so in the middle of the night through a few "branches" that Xiang Kun deliberately left around, he came to check, and it was judged that Xiang Kun was also a mutant creature at that distance, and he didn't dare to provoke, so he ran away;

2, the mutant creatures already knew that Xiang Kun was also a mutant creature through those "branches", and they rushed over overnight to plan to treat Xiang Kun as food, but after arriving at this position, it was judged that Xiang Kun might be stronger than its strength, not only could not "eat" Xiang Kun, but was likely to be "eaten", so he chose to run away.

What does it mean by its large movement from side to side? In order to test Xiang Kun? But Xiang Kun didn't make any movement when it moved, so why did it choose to run away in the end?

This distance, if judged by smell, is unlikely.

Directly by sight, it doesn't look like you can see anything.

Or does it have other ways of judging by "branching" around Xiang Kun?

For example, Xiang Kun's gaze moved with its long-distance sideways, and his neck may have turned slightly, so he was discovered?

A mutated creature that can spot and lock on to it in advance is likely to be more powerful than it is - maybe that's how it judges?

Putting away the ball on the ground, Xiang Kun returned to the boulder he was sitting on yesterday, put on his shoes, took his quiver, and continued his journey through the mountains and forests.

From time to time, one or two "branches" that were "grafted" could be found according to the "special smell", but Xiang Kun did not touch them again. Obviously, this area is already the territory of the mutant creature, and it is the habitat where it lives, although Xiang Kun can't lock its location for the time being, but if he continues to search like this, he should be able to find its lair sooner or later - after all, judging from the habits of Xiang Kun himself and the other two other mutant creatures he has seen, they all have one thing in common, that is, it needs time to rest after drinking blood, and that mutant creature must have a place for it to rest at ease after drinking blood.

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

In this area, there are more "branches" with "special smells" than in other places, and the density of distribution is relatively larger.

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

Time passed minute by minute, Xiang Kun slowly opened his eyes, and looked at a half-human-tall plant three or four meters away, and several red fruits the size of eyeballs appeared.

The color of the fruit was so red that it looked as if it was about to ooze out.

And he remembered very well that there was no such fruit before.

The branches that sprouted the red fruits were one of the "branches" left by the mutated creature.

After Xiang Kun took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the red fruit, he didn't make any moves, he wanted to see what the mutant creature wanted to do.

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

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

In fact, he had already relied on the smell and sound to know that the leopard was nearby.

I wonder if this fruit is to lure the leopard to come and target him, or is it just for the leopard?

Xiang Kun had been paying attention to the leopard's posture and movements, and knew that its attention was mainly on the red fruit, so he was not too worried, and slowly retreated, indicating that he was not a threat.

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 a few red fruits in one bite, Xiang Kun probably knew how the mutant creature "hunted", and even the carnivore leopard was attracted to eat the fruit, not to mention the omnivorous wild boar, and the three Xue anchors who were lost in the mountains and forests.

He speculated that the red fruits should have a strong attraction to other creatures, tempting them to devour them, and that he could not feel them because he had no appetite for food other than blood.

After eating the red fruit, the leopard did not leave, shook its head, stared at Xiang Kun, and let out a threatening roar.

The red fruit does not seem to incapacitate the leopard, but rather stimulates its ferocity.

Being stared at by a feline weighing about 30KG, there is a tendency to attack at any time, but Xiang Kun is not panicked at all, when he perceived the leopard before, he was already prepared, and when the leopard appeared in a nearby tree, he compared it with himself through its size and movement posture.

Basically, it can be judged that even if he doesn't use a bow and arrow, this leopard is not his opponent in close combat, whether in terms of reaction or strength, he has the ability to absolutely suppress, as long as he is not bitten by it in the key part, relying on a piece of dismantled arrow, he is sure that he can kill it.

But does it make sense to kill it?

It's not that mutated creature, and if you kill it and drink blood, you will find death if you fall into a deep sleep.

Killing alone is meaningless.

Of course, Xiang Kun also has other ways to deal with this leopard, such as "spiritual shock" - although I don't know if it is useful in the case of this leopard being affected by the red fruit first.

But after thinking about it for a while, Xiang Kun made a choice:

Turn around and run.

As soon as Xiang Kun ran, the leopard naturally jumped out and chased after him.

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

But Xiang Kun seems to have long eyes in the back of his head, and he can always change direction to avoid it when the leopard is about to pounce on him, and then continue to flee in a panic.

It didn't take long for the leopard to keep up, and it was a little unsteady on its feet.

Xiang Kun still ran forward desperately without looking back, and he didn't mean to come back to pick up the bargain at all.

After running for a while, Xiang Kun slowed down, and then with a miserable cry, he rolled down a hill, and the bow, bow bag, and shoes flew out.

Xiang Kun lay in the grass pile at the bottom of the hillside, holding his knees and howling miserably, it is true that there are many new wounds on his body in this fall, and his forehead is broken, which looks quite miserable.

Xiang Kun let out a miserable howl as he collected sensory information around him, paying attention to the direction in which the mutated creature might come.

He can be said to have underestimated the IQ of the mutant creature before, and this time he wants to try again to see if he was chased by a leopard and fell down the hill and was injured, if he could make the mutant creature rejudge his strength:

A humanoid mutant creature that does not dare to confront a leopard head-on;

a mutant humanoid creature that had fallen and was in great pain;

A mutant humanoid creature with a lethal weapon no longer at hand;

This is the perfect sneak attack.
