Time flies, 9 years have passed since the boy and the woman hunted together, and 3 years have passed since the woman said goodbye.

In the same resting place, the bones of the fierce beasts outside the cave have been piled up, and the cave is much different from nine years ago, with a large area of insulated carpets made of animal fur, and rattan wall skins made of tough hair and rattan piles; The grill made of iron rods, stones, and wood, and the glass and porcelain bowls for making distilled water are still the same as they were back then.

The cave is as dry as it was back then, and time has proved that this field is one of the few caves in the wilderness of this mountain range.

The boy who has grown to 16 years old, his face is as warm as jade but does not lose the wind of the mountains and wilderness, and his eyes are as deep as obsidian, bigger and rounder than ever, enough to envy all women from minor to middle-aged. His eyebrows were blown by the wind and rain of the mountains, the bridge of his nose was molded by the bloody smell of his prey, and his lips were tasted by the sinew of fierce beasts.

Every inch of his body was strong, yet spring-like and elastic muscles, honed from hunt after hunt.

He wielded the long, black, reflective, three-foot wavy knife that he had wielded, just as the woman who had cared for him and taught him held the knife.

"Sister Ruoying, bet on the success or failure of the level you set for me, this time I will definitely be able to go out of the mountain, and then I will find you all over the mountains and rivers."

The boy looked at the mirror-like blade, reflecting his unmoving gaze. His voice was clear, like the sound of jade clashing, sonorous and beautiful.

His name is Wu Qi.

Wu Qi stood up from the smooth stone bench he had been sitting on for 9 years, his brown leather boots were shiny and tough, from the skin of the overlord of the Devil's Swamp at the foot of the mountain range, the hardness of the soles of the boots was comparable to steel, and the two rows of rough and blunt spikes on the back of the boots were specially left by him when he made them. In addition, all of his clothes are also made from his own materials during the hunt year after year, whether it is warm and cold, tough and lightweight, it is good.

Wu Qi left the cave without a trace of nostalgia, his bag was simple and light, except for the kettle, the animal skin notes, the wolf's pen, and some hungry jerky.

Wu Qi walked in the dangerous forest with ease, and the mutated plants had increased by an average of 1 times their height compared to 9 years ago, and the bushes had grown to Wu Qi's 1.8 meters tall chest. The mutated kapok branches were pushed higher by the growing stems, and even in that position, Wu Qi could easily jump on them.

The air doesn't seem particularly humid, because there was a rain three days ago and now the land is dry. It was very easy to find the footprints of the target in the dry mud prints, and soon, Wu Qi found a footprint with five toes more than a foot long in a mess of broken grass and trees. The other footprints of the target can be seen around the footprints, and half of the four-toed ones are mixed in.

Wu Qi saw the first clue with his excellent eyes, and then it was his turn to have a more developed sense of smell and hearing to navigate for him to avoid danger, for mature hunters, a developed sense of smell and hearing can allow them to achieve a perspective effect within a radius of ten meters, Wu Qi obviously met this standard.

Dense and humid forest, hair vines hang between the tall kapok trees, forming a yellow-green natural curtain, these hair vines are the "spider webs" of clever mutant animals to detect the movement of the surroundings, it grows crazy and numerous, but only a few herbivores will eat a few bites when they are extremely hungry, and at the same time, it is very effective in blocking Wu Qi's sight, which makes him very inconvenient.

This behavior will give a warning to the mutated animals around them, and it is best to let them roll as far as they can.

After expanding his horizons, he could see clearly what was in the light mist of the forest ten meters away, plus this forest had already been relied on by him for many years, and all the information about the ecology was mastered by him, his talented, tempered body, and excellent sense of smell, hearing and vision, so that his comprehensive strength had reached the first echelon of food chain strength. The gestures, the eyes that instantly locked the prey's every move and heart, and the long knife that entwined the blood of the creatures in this area for more than nine years were more intimidating in the eyes of any creature inferior to him, than the bloody mouth of the iron-cracked brown bear.

Not surprisingly, the small mutant animals ten or twenty meters away all retreated after sensing the movement of a large number of hair vines being cut off and smelling the scent of Wu Qi's body.

There was only one guy who didn't open his eyes, and seven seconds later it appeared in Wu Qi's field of vision. With a shoulder height of 2.1 meter, a body length of nearly 4 meters, and a volume of 980kg, it has nothing to fear.

This is the Iron Crack Brown Bear 9 years later, and it is definitely more than twice as strong as it was 9 years ago. Wu Qi searched in his mind for the knowledge that Ruo Ying had taught him, and judged that this iron-cracked brown bear was a big guy with a first-order ability "Behemoth" and a mutation strength close to 100%.

Behemothification is a common ability found in mutant carnivore races, with faster speed, stronger muscles, larger size, and harder skin and claws, which is the power of Behemothification. The fur of a brown bear is so terrifying that even a shotgun/shotgun of a civilized era will be difficult to penetrate.

It's just that under Wu Qi's long knife, it's a different story.

Wu Qi's eyes widened, which meant the common intimidation of humans and beasts, and he gently opened his rosy lips and spat out a word.

"Get out! Today my prey, not you. ”

The Iron-Cracked Brown Bear's eyes widened at the same time, its tall shoulders as if to stand up, its bloody mouth overflowing with filthy stench, and its terrifying teeth grinding as if it would burst out at any moment and devour life.

The two sides were deadlocked for more than ten seconds, and finally, the iron-cracked brown bear put away its posture of pounce, faced Wu Qi, raised its legs and retreated, and gradually disappeared into the dense forest fog twenty meters away.

Wu Qi continued to search, and the sky gradually changed from morning to noon, and then to afternoon. The humid forest gradually rises and becomes humid and hot. Wu Qi's body has a good thermoregulation function, but he still sweats a lot, wetting the inside of his clothes.

He had already walked 40 kilometers, and after drinking water and eating jerky, he had taken a break and regained his strength.

Luckily, the goal is finally within reach.

Through the obscuration of hair vines and trees, Wu Qi was able to see the goal of his trip in a hidden state. Twenty meters ahead, there is a 10-meter-long pool, and a strangely shaped behemoth stands on the edge of the pool, on all fours, with its head low, greedily sucking the turquoise water.

He Wu Qi had seen most of the mutated animals in this forest, but this one was the only one, and he couldn't get into any of them. With a body length of 6 meters, the volume is probably already 1.5 tons, and the most important thing is that it is comparable to the mythical four dislikes. Tiger feet and tiger tails, bear-backed crocodile heads, and fur are also chaotic variegated. It is a monster based on the mutation of the jungle tiger, a terrifying demon lord with a first-order ability "creature fusion", and all the overlords of this mountain range have to bow down at its feet. 3 years ago, Ruoying left a long knife and let him survive alone from then on, she left knowledge, left weapons, taught him to hunt, survive, exercise, and gave him a word-

If you want to get out of the mountain, you must at least have the strength to kill the "Crocodile Tiger Dragon" alone. Wu Qi listened, so he did as she said, he searched for the crocodile tiger dragon, went alone to understand its habits, and mastered its movements, it has been more than half a year.

Wu Qi calmed down, and his whole body sank into a quiet realm, 9 years of resting kung fu allowed him to keep running quietly without making a sound, and even perform a short period of absolute anaerobic exercise. Like a ghost, he lurked beside the drinking crocodile tiger dragon, reached out and slashed at its tail!

Brush, the three-foot-long blade sharply cut into the hard long tail of the crocodile tiger dragon, cut the fur, cut off the flesh and bones, and neatly cut off its whip-like tail! The crocodile tiger dragon roared in pain, and the sound of the mountains and forests was deafening. Suddenly, its hind feet erupted with terrifying power and kicked towards Wu Qi brazenly.

However, Wu Qi had already hid at a safe distance, only blowing the strong wind set off by the force. The crocodile tiger dragon turned its 6-meter body violently, but its body was obviously unstable, and it couldn't see Wu Qi, because Wu Qi jumped to the top of its head before it took a step.

From the head down, aim at the sharp drop of the neck! The gold and iron rubbed against the flesh, the bright red separation burst out, Wu Qi cut the muscles of the crocodile tiger dragon's neck with a single sword, and then quickly withdrew before the giant claws copied it, retreating into the waterhole. The crocodile tiger dragon was completely furious, and it stepped directly into the waterhole and rushed towards Wu Qi. The 1.5-ton body fell into the mud under the waterhole, and the speed was inevitably restricted, but when the crocodile tiger dragon's majestic front leg muscles moved, it seemed that the wind was helping and the water was pushing, and it was not at all a minute slower than the light Wu Qi in the water.

However, it was Wu Qi who was faster, he grabbed the hair vine that crossed the waterhole and pulled himself out of the waterhole. With his feet on the thin rattans, he moves as fast as an ape on a rattan.

Seeing that the human who had hurt itself was getting farther away from it, the crocodile tiger dragon erupted in a rage, its back muscles suddenly erupting like a mountain, and then extending to its limbs and body. It stepped heavily into the mud beneath the waterhole, and instead of sinking further, it burst through the mud and leaped out of the waterhole with indescribable force.

In the blink of an eye, the crocodile tiger dragon turned into a shadow like a canopy, overriding Wu Qi's head. This scene would be horrifying for any human being, because it was a 1.5-ton wingless behemoth that jumped on top of the human head.

Life and death are in crisis, Wu Qi did not have his pupils shrinking sharply, he was still surprisingly quiet, calm and terrifying.
