Chapter 377: Encounters in the Back Mountain

Miranda has been paying close attention to Wu Qi's actions, she saw Wu Qi's behavior and eyes change a lot after touching a conifer tree, and her eyes in the dense forest changed from steady vigilance to radical yearning.

Miranda guessed that Wu Qi might have been a wandering hunter in the mountains and forests, just like the black Doon. When she thought about it, she suddenly understood Wu Qi's incomprehensible and unusual behavior.

"No wonder this guy is so obsessed with exploring the forest, it turns out that he is good at exploring this kind of environment." Miranda sneered, eight points of contempt for Wu Qidunsheng in her heart, and two points of indescribable coldness.

The group groped forward, and Wu Qi paid attention to the footprints on the ground. He pushed aside a bush, and the ground behind the bush showed a large bear footprint.

Black Wind Bear?

Wu Qi made a tactical gesture of moving forward with a quiet step, and Krees quickly understood and moved forward quietly. Miranda looked left and right, slowed down for two seconds before she realized what she meant, and followed.

Wu Qi followed the direction of the giant bear's footprints to concentrate and extend the distance of the perception network, and moved all the way. He slowly spotted the second, the third, a series of giant bear footprints. The footprints are not quadrupedal symmetrical and show obvious signs of erasure.

Wu Qi's behavior was more cautious, and they passed through the winding dense forest and saw a stone gray grotto.

The inner wall of the cave is about 5 meters high, which is large enough for the giant bear to pass upright. Wu Qi slowly approached the entrance of the cave, and his sense of smell and hearing was brought into full play.

He heard the sound of dozens of flies fluttering, and a strong rancid smell. Other than that, there is no sound or smell.

Wu Qi made a tactical gesture to Krees and Miranda to stand by and infiltrate the cave alone. The light around him dimmed suddenly, and Wu Qi's eyes could see clearly in dimly lit places, and a pair of obsidian-like eyes moved flexibly, refracting a strange light.

He used the newly evolved thermally sensing nerve membrane to convert the field of vision into the field of view of infrared vision. All objects in the dark cavern that contain heat will be identified in different shades in the field of vision, and although it cannot see through the solid rock wall, it can help him determine whether the injured giant bear is dead or alive as soon as possible.

In the next second, Wu Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he saw the giant bear lying on the ground. The bear's body was reflected in his thermal view, and his whole body was gray, and there was not a trace of orange-red or bright yellow warmth. Its body temperature has been completely cold, and it has been dead for a long time.

Wu Qi took a closer look, and the swarm of scavenging flies flying above the giant bear's corpse immediately swarmed towards Wu Qi, their compound eyes locked on Wu Qi's face, and the transparent fly wings vibrated at high speed on their backs, and in an instant, they all showed their sharp mutated mouthparts, trying to drive Wu Qi away from their food.

In the face of the troublesome insect plague species, Wu Qi had already prepared a precautionary measure.

With his left hand, he ran over the belt of his uniform and pulled out a cylindrical object that resembled a lighter and had a small wire cage on its head. He pressed the ignition switch, and a bright flame leaped into the bottom of the wire cage and pierced into it.

Wu Qi took a few steps back, and a special fragrance wafted out from the small wire cage, which was the smell of natural disgust for mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and other pests.

A wisp of smoke came out of the small wire cage, Wu Qi held the lighter and waved, and the tobacco spread out in a half-arc in the air, forcing a group of scavenging flies to escape from the grotto.

This small wire cage contains "Atractylodes", which is the dried rhizome of "Northern Atractylodes". Atractylodes atractylodes is a vegetation of the Asteraceae family, with slender white petals and orange stamens, and it grows mostly in the northern part of the continent with a cold climate and under mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. Wu Qi saw many beautiful clusters of Northern Atractylodes in the process of patrolling the mountains, and thought of the knowledge taught by Sister Ruoying, so he plucked their rhizomes and made this "insect fire machine".

On one side is the mutated Northern Atractylodes, and on the other side is the mutated flies, and the effect of the burning smell of Atractylodes is as outstanding as if neither of them were mutated.

After driving away the swarm of scavenging flies, Wu Qi approached the giant bear's carcass and squatted down to carefully examine the wounds on its body.

The giant bear's coat is pitch black, the hair on its whole body is burning and curled to varying degrees, and there are two scars left by electromagnetic kinetic rifle bullets tens of centimeters long on the side of its torso, as well as a long and narrow knife gap. Wu Qi checked them one by one, and these wounds were all the same as the Black Wind Giant Bear that he had fought at the beginning.

The identity of the giant bear's corpse has been clarified, and the Black Wind Giant Bear that escaped at the beginning is still dead after all. In fact, this was a little different from Wu Qi's prediction, he thought that the vitality of the plague species would be a little stronger.

At this time, Wu Qi examined a wound that he had never seen before, the wound was located under the neck of the giant bear, and it was a mark caused by the bite of sharp teeth. Since the bear died with its jaw down, he never noticed it, and only happened to notice it when his fingers felt a little dried blood.

Wu Qi immediately lifted the neck of the giant bear, and after careful observation, he was shocked to realize that it was the tooth marks left by a terrifying wolf!

The bear had no other wounds on its body, and it should not have been hunted and killed by a pack of wolves. Wu Qi checked the giant bear's claws again, and there were sporadic traces of dried blood on the claws.

The bear's claws are steel claws with smooth blades and sharp blades, and they don't leave anything like minced flesh when they scratch other creatures, and the presence of blood is a rough indication of the facts.

Wu Qi ended his reasoning based on the existing information, and finally pressed his hand on the giant bear's skull, and his consciousness went deep into the "deep sea" where life information flowed, opening the door to the gene chain of the Black Wind Giant Bear.

The Giant Bear's genetic chain was exactly as he had expected, carrying five second-order abilities: Strange Force, Overdrive, Steel Claw, Fierce Poison, and Black Wind, and most of the genetic fragments had been shattered, losing the ability to form abilities.

The giant bear's body is also mixed with some of the ability viruses, which belong to the "invaders", much like the terrifying wolf that bit the giant bear's throat.

Wu Qi tried to touch the dried blood stains on the giant bear's steel claws, but unfortunately the dried blood had become an "object" rather than a part of life, and the revelation of the Wilderness God could not work on it.

A series of images appeared in Wu Qi's mind. A terrifying wolf sneaked up on the seriously injured Black Wind Giant Bear, biting its throat and then being knocked away by the Black Wind Giant Bear's claws, and after landing on the ground, the injuries were not serious and fled quickly; At this time, the Black Wind Giant Bear was physically exhausted and could not use the "Black Wind" to catch up with the sneak attackers, and finally limped, erasing the footprints and returning to his cave, where he died of his injuries.

The Black Wind Bear is the best of the Tier 2 plague species, possessing five Tier 2 abilities and developing a superior level of intelligence, which he uses in combination with survival and abilities. Its genetic chain is very long, and the evolved parts are strong and powerful; It had a chance to further evolve to the third order, but unfortunately it couldn't survive this life-and-death tribulation.

When the strong fight, the death of one side will become a stepping stone to the evolution of the other, but there are also cases where the weak are picked up. No matter how much the strength of that terrifying wolf is different from that of the Black Wind Giant Bear, it should have drunk the carotid blood of the Black Wind Giant Bear and absorbed the abnormal virus it possessed!
