In the past, when Xiang Kun chatted with people, most of his attention was on himself, thinking about what he was going to say, what he was going to do, how to respond to this sentence, and what he should say next, but for people he didn't know well, he always had a worry that whatever he said would be embarrassing.

Now, due to the greatly enhanced ability to collect and process senses and information, Xiang Kun has a completely different cognition and processing mode for communicating with strangers.

It's easy for him to know what others want to say and hear, so it's easy to get more out of what he wants to know based on that information.

For example, now, after knowing the location of the village where the aunt next to him lived since childhood, Xiang Kun began to deliberately guide her, hoping to hear more relevant information from her.

Many things, after being circulated on the Internet or other media, will go through some processing, and there will be greater differences from the original situation.

Although most of the "legends" and "rumors" that locals hear will deviate from the facts, relatively speaking, the information that can be obtained will be more accurate.

Speaking of legends or something, the aunt was also interested, and she originally asked the flight attendant for a blanket and wanted to sleep for a while, but now she is talking about sex and talking endlessly.

In a broad sense, the Qinling Mountains are a huge mountain system, about 1,600 kilometers long from west to east, and about 100-200 kilometers wide from north to south.

Such a big mountain, naturally, is indispensable for all kinds of legends and mysterious events, from ancient tomb legends, to spirits and demons, to fairy monks, to savage monsters, and even UFOs, visitors from outside the sky, etc., so there have always been people who explore and explore secrets.

Naturally, when the aunt was a child, she heard similar legends, mainly focusing on ancient tombs, spirits and various beasts.

Xiang Kun used the wild boar video recorded by the anchor Na Xue as a guide, and asked the aunt to think in the direction of "vampire monsters".

However, the aunt said that she had not heard of similar legends, and she had never heard of similar monster touches over there, and her opinion was the same as that of most people on the Internet - the wild boar was probably killed by the three of them by anchor Xue, deliberately creating a false impression of the existence of monsters to attract the attention of netizens.

But the aunt didn't say anything, she said that what strange things happened in those deep mountains and old forests would not surprise people, so ordinary people should not go inside.

After chatting for a while, and keenly aware of the aunt's fatigue, Xiang Kun ended the topic so that the aunt could take a break and make up for sleep.

The information that the aunt said is basically not very useful, after all, she has lived in the county when she was a teenager, and even the mountain village where she lived when she was a child is still far away from the area where Xue Anchor and they had an accident. A few years ago, it was directly relocated and returned to forests.

All she knew was told to her by the elders of the village and the elders of the family.

Moreover, the absence of useful information can also be said to be a kind of information in itself.

The flight was smooth and smooth, landing safely all the way, without any turbulence, and without the situation in the movie that my aunt was worried about.

After arriving, the aunt next to her was very enthusiastic to ask the relatives who came to pick her up to take Xiang Kun with him and send him to the hotel, but he politely refused.

Xiang Kun didn't plan to spend the night in this city, so he took a bus directly to a county-level city dozens of kilometers away, and after arriving, he called a private car to go to a small town, which was also the place where the anchor Xue stayed, rested, and uploaded videos before his death.

After arriving in the town in the early morning, Xiang Kun originally planned to go directly into the mountain overnight, but after thinking for a while, he still walked to the only hotel in the town first.

Although more than half a month has passed since the bodies of Anchor Xue and his party were discovered, normally speaking, even if there are people left by official or media platforms for investigation, they should have gone about the same.

And if there are still people left, they are not like Xiang Kun, who can move in the mountains day and night without supplies, and there is a high probability that they need to stay in this town like Anchor Xue and his party.

Outside the hotel, Xiang Kun slowed down, walked into the hotel lobby to go to the bathroom, and then began to collect various sensory information.

Judging from the situation of the hotel guests, there are not many people staying at the hotel, and I haven't heard any voices talking about this Xue anchor incident.

Xiang Kun didn't waste any more time, and after coming out of the bathroom, he walked out of the hotel, ready to leave, and went directly into the mountain, but he didn't take a few steps, but he slowed down again, because he heard the conversation between two men who came out of the hotel behind him.

"Are you really going to drive back overnight? can't the fuck leave tomorrow morning?" said one of them, complaining.

"The ticket booked by the company is half past eight in the morning, isn't it just forcing us to drive back overnight, otherwise you can catch up?" said the other man who was also angry.

"Damn, can't we buy our own tickets?"

"Okay, you call and say, if they agree to change the time, I'll buy the ticket, and I'll pay for your ticket." ”

"Damn, they're the whole guy. There's no point in coming here to get this thing, a pile of mud, a pile of dirt, what kind of eggs can you find? And that dead pig, how hard it took us to get it out, it's all rotten like that bird, what else can we find out? They think they're CSI......

"Don't be blind BB, don't forget that you signed a confidential one. ”

"What are you afraid of, and no one hears it, what is the use of you saying that the company wants us to get this?"

From their point of view, Xiang Kun, who left the hotel in front of them, had already reached the other side of the street, and he might not be able to hear them even if they shouted.

"Ask yourself. The other was clearly impatient with his companion's complaints.

As the two spoke, they got into a white Prado and drove out of the hotel's parking lot.

Hearing the content of their chat, Xiang Kun immediately realized that the purpose of their coming here was very likely to be the same as himself. It's just that they have a clear goal, they know why they are here, and what they are looking for, and they are likely to be doing things for others, and they are "staff" who are instructed.

Seeing the car drive out of the hotel parking lot, Xiang Kun's mind flashed multiple plans.

Rushing out from the side of the road to "touch porcelain" and then attracting the police to find out their identities is not appropriate, not to mention that they may have to go to the hospital for examination, just exposing themselves to these two people, there will be many hidden dangers, and it is too dangerous to do so because we do not know their specific origins.

Find a way to bounce a ball in your hand that has established a "super sensory connection" to the car, and then track where they go? It's also inappropriate, not to mention that it's hard to let the ball "stay" in the car and not fall all the way down from this distance, judging from the conversation between the two of them, they will leave by plane tomorrow morning, and he just tracked the past overnight, and it is estimated that it is not of much significance.

For the sake of safety, Xiang Kun still chose to do nothing, but just wrote down the license plate number of the Prado.

Xiang Kun looked back at the hotel not far away, maybe he could find a way to sneak into the hotel, enter their registration system, and see what identity and unit the two who had just left were registered.

However, after thinking of a few plans, although you can get that information, you will inevitably leave "traces", which will let people know him, remember his face, and once the other party perceives something in the future, it is likely to reverse investigate and know his existence from here.

Now that I am still in the shadows, I should not rashly show my shadow for the time being, after all, in this information age, if you catch a shadow, your true body will be easily exposed.

At such times, he was particularly depressed about why he didn't get the ability to directly use words to "hypnosis" from Guo Tianxiang.

Xiang Kun decided to put this matter aside for the time being, and he went up the mountain to determine if there were mutated creatures.

So Xiang Kun, who was carrying a huge bow box, went directly along the road to the mountains, and before he felt that a car was coming, he would first avoid it on the side of the road to avoid being discovered.

Generally, normal people would not enter the mountain alone at this time, not to mention that Xiang Kun didn't even take a car, so he started walking directly from the town. You must know that where the Xue anchor and them enter the mountain, it will take more than two hours to drive.

But Xiang Kun has his own considerations, he first studied the terrain of this place on the map, and knew how to take a shortcut. Those insurmountable obstacles for others are not too difficult for Xiang Kun.

After leaving the town and walking along the mountain road for more than two hours, Xiang Kun inserted a mountain path, and after walking a distance, he put down the heavy bow box, and in the night, took out the compound bow sent by Tang Baona and assembled it, loaded the arrow, and carried the compound bow and quiver on his back.

Xiang Kun hid the bow box in a hole, and left a ball that established a "super sensory connection", which can not only help him find the bow box when he returns, but also can be used as a positioning coordinate.

Using this ball as a reference, it is convenient for him to locate the direction when he enters the deep mountains later.

He walked and measured the road behind, and his understanding of the distance and terrain was very detailed, and the ball of "super sensory connection" could establish a very clear line "map" in the brain when inducting.

Later, if necessary, he will throw a few more items that have established a "hypersensory connection" to facilitate more detailed positioning and mapping.

One of the biggest problems in the mountains late at night is the light, and the line of sight is affected, but for Xiang Kun, there is a night vision mode from the giant owl, and the faint light in the mountain at night is enough, and he can see everything clearly along the way.

Another problem is the complex terrain in the mountains, which may lose your life if you are not careful, not to mention that Xiang Kun is looking for those directions that are steep, treacherous, and dense with grass in order to take a shortcut.

Ordinary people walk such a road, even if they are experienced and well prepared, the cliffs must be climbed slowly, the dense forest must be slowly opened, there must be equipment, tools, supplies, the speed is not good, it is slower than the detour, and it is easy to get injured if you are not careful.

Xiang Kun found a place to practice and train a few days ago, relying on super finger power, core strength, reaction speed, and almost endless endurance to carry out short-distance rock climbing, which is very handy.

However, because his weight exceeds that of ordinary people, he is also prone to collapse small rock points, but in the process of climbing, he will make various possible plans in his mind for every movement, make various preparations, and then control his body by strength and reaction, with a high degree of forgiveness.

Of course, Xiang Kun is not a professional rock climber, and he will not deliberately choose those large rock walls to "challenge", even if he takes a shortcut, he will choose an easier route, and there are not so many difficult rock walls.

And in the dense forest, he doesn't need to open the road, with his usual way of rushing to the mountain, directly open the road with his body, forcibly run over like a wild boar, run all the way, let those branches and thorns scratch scarred, he doesn't care, anyway, he recovers quickly, and the wound can be healed in less than ten minutes, just like a long-term, low-intensity mountain rushing training.

Sometimes, if necessary, he can jump directly from a height and rely on the branches to cushion him, saving time.

At five o'clock in the morning, Xiang Kun stood on top of a low peak and turned on the infrared imaging vision mode to observe the activities of various creatures in the forest in the distance.

He believed that if there were really mutant creatures, he would have the infrared imaging mode he got from Guo Tianxiang, supplemented by his sense of smell, and he would definitely be able to discover the other party before he found himself.

Soon after entering the mountain, Xiang Kun found that the mobile phone had no signal, which was also expected by him, but he distinguished a few reference scenes at the height, and then relied on a few "super sensory connection" items left on the road to calculate the distance and his position, and he could also find his location on the paper map.

Before coming over, Xiang Kun had already guessed the approximate area of the no-man's land that Anchor Xue had entered before through various information on the Internet.

According to Xiang Kun's original guess, he should have arrived near that area before nightfall the next day.

But in fact, at noon the next day, Xiang Kun had already determined that he had not run in vain this trip-

He smelled that very special smell again.

This smell is very faint, and it is actually completely different from the smell of giant owls and Guo Tianxiang, but Xiang Kun knows that it is the feeling that will make him subconsciously care, which is the signature characteristic of the smell of mutated creatures.

Xiang Kun's brain was running rapidly, his attention was highly concentrated, and his senses of sight, hearing, and smell were all raised to the limit, constantly collecting information and looking for traces of the mutated creature.

The compound bow has also been taken into hand, the bow and arrow are hitched, ready to shoot at any time.

However, Xiang Kun found that the smell came from all directions, some on the trees, some on the ground, there was no regularity at all, and no specific direction could be found.

In the infrared imaging mode, there are many small animals around, and you can also smell the smell and footprints left by some large beasts, but there is no specific trace of the existence of the mutated creature, and even the smell seems to come out of thin air.

This strange situation made Xiang Kun more and more vigilant and vigilant.
