Chapter Twenty-Three: This Is Not a Horse

"That's all for today, I'll go to the southern forest again." Zheng Yichen said to Arnold, hearing him say this, Arnold immediately put away the Beast card.

"It's not too early, so if you want to spend the night there, you'd better prepare some more things."

"Understood."

Zheng Yichen nodded, after knowing the specific situation of the entrusted task, Zheng Yichen didn't have much hope for this task, but it was good to be lucky in the past, and he knew so much new knowledge, couldn't he be worthy of his own brain?

Returning to the southern forest, Zheng Yichen looked at the forest covered by dense fog, took out his tent and prepared it, there was a temporary camp here, which was spontaneously planned by the hunters and the staff of the research institute, and Zheng Yichen took advantage of the convenience here.

Other hunters were not very interested in novice hunters like him, but some people from the research institute were interested in Zheng Yichen, not because of his strength, but because of his strong body.

They chatted with Zheng Yichen and drew a lot of pies, saying that it was not easy for a novice hunter like him to get ahead, unless he had some superhuman abilities and very important qualifications, that is, how many entrusted tasks he had carried out.

And they just happened to be able to help Zheng Yichen brush this kind of entrusted task, and even let him get superhuman abilities, Zheng Yichen felt wrong when he heard this, the purpose of this group of people looking for him was to figure it out, and the feeling was that he was strong enough to let him go to their research institute to try some enhancement potions under development......

As long as Zheng Yichen agrees, the research institute will immediately arrange follow-up matters, and even arrange many actual combat commissions, so that Zheng Yichen can fight with some powerful abnormal creatures to adapt to the strengthened body.

It sounds good, but it's actually about finding a strong guinea pig, and the kind of commission to fight anomalous creatures is probably not arranged by these institutes to test both kinds of data.

The staff of the institute left disappointed, Zheng Yichen yawned, pulled up the tent and set an alarm clock for his mobile phone, and then prepared to sleep for a while, he planned to take a walk around the forest in the middle of the night, maybe he could find something.

The second half of the night.

Zheng Yichen, who woke up, packed up his things and left the temporary camp directly, and the temporary camp in the second half of the night was also quite lively, with fires and lights, and some night owl hunters were also active, and it was not strange for Zheng Yichen to leave.

Zheng Yichen was going to go to a place where there were fewer people to see, those abnormal creatures were not completely brainless, except for those who made their brains become something else because of mutations.

There are so many people here, those anomalous creatures will definitely not appear here, judging from the simple information provided by the bartender's commission, the people who were attacked are all outings, think about that temporary camp, in fact, it's quite safe to travel nearby, right?

However, the recent outings were unlucky enough to encounter a stunned anomaly, ignoring the nearby camp and attacking people some distance from the camp, and then escaped after being pursued by the hunters.

Judging from this information, the intelligence of that thing should not be too low, and the defense or speed must be very good.

Zheng Yichen didn't have much hope for this late-night operation, he thought that even if he encountered some small abnormal creatures, he would take it as a supplement to his state, after all, his skin had begun to show some subtle 'withering'.

Although the marks are very light, if he can, he wants to keep his skin in the best condition all the time, not stinky and beautiful, but once there are traces of withering, it is like hanging a watch with a countdown on his neck.

The watch is not used to see the time, but to see the rest of his life, which makes people very uncomfortable, and the beginning of the body to wither means that the countdown of the watch has begun.

Zheng Yichen, who was quietly advancing in the night, suddenly stabbed out the fishing rod in his hand, and a black shadow was picked up by him, Zheng Yichen glanced at the black shadow that jumped up, and pouted slightly, a rabbit, or an ordinary rabbit, like the blood of an abnormal creature splashed on him and could be absorbed by his skin.

And the ordinary creature is useless, of course, he was stabbed by the black spear derived from his anomalous ability, and he can still 'suck blood', but it is of little use to him, rather than draining this thing, it is better to roast it and eat it.

He was a little hungry when he remembered to eat, and after finding a place to dig a pit, he began to make a fire, although he had never dealt with rabbits, but the specific way to deal with it was probably to peel and gutt, as well as spices, which was given to him by the hunter Arnold when Zheng Yichen left the Dusk Church.

Now it comes in handy.

The aroma of meat came out in the middle of the night, Zheng Yichen's throat moved, and he ate it immediately after the meat was almost roasted.

When he was halfway late, the subtle sound reached Zheng Yichen's ears, Zheng Yichen was still a little puzzled at first, and when he looked at the place where the voice came, a gray horn came into his field of vision, and he remembered the sound of his clothes tearing.

Zheng Yichen, who urgently avoided the blow, looked at the torn clothes on his flank, and the gray horn cut through his skin, leaving a blood mark on his body that was not deep or shallow, and the blood flowed out along the wound.

Zheng Yichen looked at this gray ...... Horse? No, it was supposed to be a mule creature, and he was a little disappointed, he thought it was a legendary unicorn, but it wasn't even a donkey, and he was sure it wasn't a horse!

The one-horned mule opened its mouth slightly, and spit out a snake-like Sen Ran tongue, which was more than half a meter long when it stretched out, and it licked the blood stained on the horn, and then didn't look at the half roast rabbit that fell on the ground, staring directly at Zheng Yichen.

“…… Cooked is more delicious. Zheng Yichen, who was stared at by the unicorn mule, cautiously took two steps back, and the unicorn mule took several steps forward, conveying to Zheng Yichen a meaning that it wanted to eat raw, and at the same time, it was separated from Zheng Yichen and the backpack on the ground by the way.

The shotgun is on the backpack side.

This thing is unexpectedly smart, Zheng Yichen directly shook off the fishing rod in his hand, and the surface of the fishing rod was quickly covered with a layer of black substance.

When there is no one, you can just wrap the fishing rod in it, and you can save some consumption.

Hiss –

A snake-like cry came from the mouth of the unicorn mule, and the swiftness of this thing rushed towards Zheng Yichen, and the hissing sound emitted had a power that affected the spirit.

Zheng Yichen didn't know much and couldn't tell if this thing was a native anomalous creature, but the hissing didn't affect him that much.

He took out the hand cannon recommended to him by the owner of the gun shop, and aimed it at the head of the unicorn mule, the shotgun is not good to carry in his pocket, this thing is easy to carry in his pocket!
