Chapter 43: Simulated Wilderness Area 5

The sky is getting darker, and at night, ordinary people will start to think about when it is time to go to bed and rest, and as a hunter, the night is the time when they are active.

Zhang Shuo didn't rush to find other prey, but sat by the campfire and dealt with the mutated snake skin. Ever since the mysterious old man left, he had been tinkering with this mutant python skin. The snakeskin was so hard that if Zhang Shuo only used half the strength, he couldn't cut it with a saber. Therefore, he plans to make the mutant snake skin into simple armor, mainly to protect the key parts of the body, such as the feet and arms, which can defend against attacks, and can also avoid the bite of mutant insects such as mosquitoes and poisonous insects when traveling through the forest and jungle.

Secondly, he made a snakeskin cloak out of the largest snakeskin, just like the gray cloak he had when he went to K191's ruined city, but that one was made of the fur of the LV1 Hunter, and there wasn't much to hide. And this mutant python skin is lv2 level, and the effect of hiding the aura of humans is many times better than the previous cloak.

The excess snakeskin is divided into small strips for rope, but don't underestimate these finger-thick snakeskin ropes, which are at least much tougher than hemp ropes.

In the end, Zhang Shuo tied the fangs of a mutant python to a wooden stick, dipped it in snake venom, and made two spears. Except for the two eyeballs of the mutant python, the entire mutant python was used by Zhang Shuo. Flesh can be used as food, fur can be used for armor, and bones and teeth can be used for weapons...... That's why mutant beasts are the most valuable "resource" in this apocalyptic world.

After everything was ready, Zhang Shuo covered his whole person with a snakeskin cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes, then extinguished the fire, picked up a torch, and walked into the forest.

The distance that the torch can illuminate is limited, and more often, Zhang Shuo relies on his own perception ability and carefully listens to the subtle sounds around him. With a snakeskin cloak, he didn't have to worry about those low-level mutant beasts, but he had to be careful to attract high-level natural enemies, especially mutant pythons.

And now the world is like this, there are gains and losses, there are sacrifices and gains, and there are almost no perfect results. Just like many people envy the powerful ability of gene hunters, but these people don't know that gene hunters are always likely to be eaten by viruses.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo used the snakeskin cloak to solve the small trouble, which may cause him more trouble. If it was in the wilderness, Zhang Shuo would think about it more, but in the simulated wilderness area, he didn't have to worry so much, because the mutant beasts here would not at least be as numerous as the wilderness. Coupled with the fact that this mutant python dared to chase and kill Zhang Shuo with great fanfare in this deep forest, it was enough to see that there would be no natural enemies in the forest.

After all, mutant beasts are not stupid, and animals are also spiritual, just like nature hundreds of years ago, which animal would be fine to dangle under the noses of their natural enemies?

After searching the forest for a while, Zhang Shuo unfortunately did not find the whereabouts of any low-level mutant beasts.

Just as he was about to return to the creek, a wolf howl caught his attention.

There are also many kinds of mutant wolves, both low-level and high-level, and like wolves hundreds of years ago, most mutant wolves also live in groups, so usually a wolf howl is echoed by several wolf howls. However, at this time, Zhang Shuo only heard a wolf howl, and he immediately judged that the mutant wolf either came out as a sentry to find out the whereabouts of the prey, or the wolves were scattered while chasing the prey, but either way, it means that it is a lone wolf at this time.

Mutant wolves are powerful, and that's built on the strength of the wolf pack.

A lone wolf, then there is a chance to win.

Zhang Shuo ran in the direction of the wolf howl without hesitation, and sure enough, a black-haired wolf appeared in the far end soon. Seeing that it was a black-haired wolf, Zhang Shuo was in a good mood.

The black-haired wolf belongs to the lv1 mutant beast, its speed and aggressiveness are weak, and unlike most mutant wolves, they belong to the mid-night species, they are completely daytime species, and at night, the cell activity is greatly reduced, so basically they don't come out much at night.

At this time, a black-haired wolf acting alone appeared, and this is not the food delivered to the door?

The black-haired wolf was still a little cautious when he saw Zhang Shuo, and he was obviously reluctant to rush up. But Zhang Shuo would not give it time to escape, so he rushed forward directly with a poisonous spear. But it's a pity that Zhang Shuo's left foot is inconvenient, if it was before, with his speed, he could kill the black-haired wolf in seconds before he was unable to parry, but at this time, when he stabbed the poisonous spear, the first blow was dodged by the black-haired wolf.

But fortunately, after the blow, Zhang Shuo immediately turned the spearhead, and the poisonous spear cut a bloody hole on the black wolf's back, and the venom of the mutant python pierced the skin of the black wolf, making it scream in pain. And this black-haired wolf was also aroused by Zhang Shuo's ferocity, and opened his bloody mouth and pounced on him.

"Just waiting for you!" Zhang Shuo sneered, and took advantage of the black-haired wolf's downfall to lie backwards, seeing that the black-haired wolf was about to fly over it, and Zhang Shuo's reaction was extremely fast, and he directly raised the poisonous spear and aimed at the position of the black-haired wolf's heart!

"Poofโ€”"

The mutant python's fangs are so sharp, and the venom is so terrifying, directly penetrating the body of the black-haired wolf, Zhang Shuo turned over and kicked, kicked the black-haired wolf away, pulled out the poisonous spear and stabbed the wolf's head again, ending its life. Then, Zhang Shuo neatly peeled the skin and bones, and cut the black-haired wolf into pieces in a few minutes.

It's a pity that the level of the black-haired wolf is too low, the fur is not easy to use to make defense, and the hardness of the bones is too poor, and it is not easy to make weapons. The only useful things on his body were the pile of flesh that could be made into wolf jerky and four fangs.

After disposing of the useful things, Zhang Shuo quickly left the area of the black-haired wolf's corpse. Because although this black-haired wolf is lone at this time, it does not mean that there are no wolves behind it, if you stay here for too long, in case the wolves come over, with Zhang Shuo's current strength, let alone fight the wolves alone, even if it is a problem to escape.

After lurking in the vicinity for about 30 minutes, the good news is that no wolves have found it, and the bad news is that no low-level mutant beasts have been attracted by the smell of blood. Obviously, as Zhang Shuo guessed, although the simulated wilderness area can perfectly simulate the wilderness in terms of environment, the number of mutant beasts may not even be comparable to a fraction.

Zhang Shuo decided to take advantage of the night to search again, and at this time he got up from the grass pit and was about to move forward, but he found that his hand that was propped up on the tree and could not be withdrawn.

Looking up in amazement, Zhang Shuo saw what kind of tree it was, but a huge dark green plant that looked like a tree, and a strange pattern of a bloody mouth appeared on the stem.

"Mutant plants!" Zhang Shuo shouted.

After the alien virus hit the earth, with the emergence of mutant beasts and mutant insects, plants that were previously aggressive such as man-eating flowers also mutated.

At present, the huge plant next to Zhang Shuo is obviously a mutant plant.

Zhang Shuo hurriedly pulled his arm hard, and with a hiss, he pulled his arm back from the trunk, and the palm of his hand was already a blur of flesh and blood.

At the same time, the face on the plant had suddenly appeared angry and hideous, and the next moment the pattern opened, like a mouthful of blood, biting down towards Zhang Shuo.

However, although this mutant plant is extremely aggressive and defensive, coupled with its rapid healing ability, it looks very difficult, but in fact, as long as you are careful not to fall into the trap they have laid, the aggressiveness of the mutant plant is actually less than one-tenth of that of the mutant beast.

Because mutant plants have a fatal flaw - they can't move. Therefore, the mutant plant can only rely on sneak attacks to attack the target, and it is bound to take down the target with one hit, and if it fails, then there is no chance.

Therefore, after Zhang Shuo pulled away from his palm again, he didn't have time to check the injury of his palm, so he fell directly backwards, dodging the bite of the mutant plant, and then rolled to distance himself from the mutated plant.

At this time, the mutant plant had no way to take Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo didn't know how many mutated plants like this were in the vicinity, so he could only avoid the surrounding tree-like plants as much as possible, and then retreated in the direction of the stream.
