Chapter 441: Broken Tail

Xiang Kun first noticed some movement in the air in the distance in the middle of the night, then found a high point to observe carefully, and after switching the infrared thermal imaging visual mode, he found that in the middle of the air in the deep mountains in the northwest direction, there were two extremely faint light blue light points fighting.

Xiang Kun has always attached the most importance to the improvement of his sensory ability, especially after killing Guo Tianxiang, his perception of other "mutant creatures" has made a qualitative breakthrough, and he can directly judge from a distance visually.

In addition, his original visual ability is getting stronger and stronger, and the visual distance is extremely far, which directly enhances the range of his ability to determine "mutant creatures" through vision.

Combined with the sense of smell, hearing, the sixth sense, and even the identification of cognitive information of "mutated creatures" in the "hypersensory state", he is very confident that if he encounters other "mutant creatures" again, he must be the first to perceive.

Just like now, at this distance, if it is an ordinary person, even if it can distinguish the "mutant creature", it will not notice the situation in the air over there, and even if it does, it will not be able to see clearly at all.

However, even Xiang Kun, at this distance, he basically couldn't see the shape of the two blue lights, and he couldn't judge their shape.

However, the flight mode of one of the blue lights and the movement trajectory in the air reminded Xiang Kun of the "mutated big bird", and compared it with the flight mode and flight trajectory of the "mutant big bird" in his memory, and came up with the answer:

There is a probability of more than ninety percent, and one of them is the "mutant bird", but the speed seems to have increased a little.

As for the other party, it is also a "mutant creature" that can fly, but unlike the "mutant big bird" and other "mutant creatures" that Xiang Kun has seen through the infrared thermal imaging vision mode, the light blue representing the "mutant creature" is surrounded by dots of red, and there is a large red lump larger than the main body attached to the tail, which looks very weird, as if it is a semi-mutated creature.

However, Xiang Kun knew early on that when his infrared thermal imaging vision mode distinguishes between "mutant creatures", it is not judged by heat alone.

No matter how the body temperature of the "mutant creature" changes, whether it rises or falls, and how it compares to the surrounding temperature, in his special visual mode, it will only appear pale blue.

Of course, if he wants, he can also adjust the color perception of the "mutated creature" to other colors.

But in addition to the "mutated creatures", the temperature judgment of other things is still relatively accurate.

Just looking at the color distribution, Xiang Kun guessed that the "mutant creatures" that were fighting with the "Mutant Big Bird" were aided by a man-made flying machine with at least a jet engine.

This made Xiang Kun even more surprised, because judging from the flight trajectory of the "flying mutant creature", its flexibility in the air was not much worse than that of the "mutant bird", which was not very reasonable from the perspective of structure.

Xiang Kun suddenly realized something, continued to carefully observe the surroundings, and then found some aerial hovering objects scattered around the periphery of the two "mutant creatures" fighting in the air, these objects are most likely drones from their heating and movement tracks.

Xiang Kun immediately linked the "flying mutant creatures" with "Shenxing Technology", after all, he knew before that "Shenxing Technology" likes to use a large number of drones to search for "mutant creatures", and "Shenxing Technology" has indeed found traces of "mutant birds" in Wu Shushan's generation before.

Is it "Shenxing Technology" that is capturing the "mutant big bird"?

He sensed the piece of "super-link" paper that Micho had been carrying with him, and found that it was not nearby.

He squinted and observed for a while, judging from the flight trajectory and methods of both sides in the air, and found that the "mutant big bird" obviously wanted to escape, and was completely suppressed by the "flying mutant creature", and it was probably only a matter of time before it was caught.

Xiang Kun looked up at the night sky, felt the changes in the atmospheric electric field and the surrounding magnetic field, closed his eyes and entered the "supersensory state", and further made cognitive judgments, and then quickly deduced and calculated in his mind, and then took Zero Zero One, Zero Zero Two and a part of the "flying worker ants" to the direction of the two "mutant creatures" over there.

Xiang Kun didn't care about the life or death of the "mutant big bird", but he was very interested in the "flying mutant creature" of the "Shenxing Technology", and he didn't know if the other party was a human "vampire" or other creatures.

On the other hand, he was also a little worried that if the "flying mutant creatures" of the "Shenxing Technology" devoured the blood of the "mutant big bird", would they be able to obtain some of the sensory memories of the "mutant big bird" like him?

He wasn't sure if the other "mutated creatures" would be able to get some of the mixed memory fragments their targets possess after devouring the blood of the "mutated creatures" like him, but he couldn't rule out the possibility.

If that big bird is really the one he encountered before, then it should also have memories for him, and the other party may get relevant memory fragments.

Of course, according to Xiang Kun's "rich" memory fragments to gain experience, the memory stored by the "mutant bird", its perceptual information, even if it is not completely devoid of visual and auditory information like the "mutant parasite", must be a little different from the human memory information model, if the human "vampire" obtains those memory fragments, he may not be able to find information that can judge his identity, after all, not everyone has such a powerful "global sensory information decoding ability" as him.

Moreover, if the "Divine Technology" only captures the "Mutant Big Bird" for research, it may not devour its blood.

Previously, in the "super sensory state", he found that there were several living "mutant creatures" in the building where the rabbit wood carving was located.

So if there is danger or the possibility of exposing himself, he will not have to prevent the other party from capturing the "mutant big bird".

After closing a certain distance, Xiang Kun found the drone cruising around, in order to avoid being discovered, he chose to stop, and then took out the box carrying the "flying worker ants", released them, and let them carry a tungsten steel ball through "Zero Zero Two" and continued to move forward.

A total of forty "flying worker ants" carried the balls, like a flying formation, scattered and rushed forward.

HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO USE THE "SUPER SENSING STATE" TO WATCH THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE TWO "MUTATED CREATURES", BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ALTHOUGH THE "FLYING WORKER ANT" REACHED A TOP SPEED OF NEARLY 20KM/H, IT STILL COULDN'T CATCH UP BEFORE THE END OF THE BATTLE.

The battle over there had come to an end, and the "Mutant Big Bird" had fallen into the forest several times and tried to escape several times, but had no success.

The "Flying Mutant" restrained it with a slender chain, and seemed to be about to subdue it.

Seeing that the struggle of the "mutant big bird" was getting weaker and weaker, this capture seemed to be over soon, the distance was still very far, and the "flying worker ants" and "large army" had not yet been arranged in position, Xiang Kun was thinking about what to do and how to do it, when an intuition suddenly surged up, making him subconsciously glance in another direction.

That direction seemed to be nothing at first glance, but Xiang Kun knew very well that for him now, "intuition" was not a gratuitous and metaphysical thing, but a large amount of extrasensory information obtained that could not be processed...... In other words, when it is not yet possible to make subjective cognitive judgments, the deeper instinct gives the first feedback.

This kind of feedback cannot give a very clear and accurate judgment, and it may not even be 100% correct, but there must be some information that his normal cognition and subjective cognition have missed and ignored, and this information should be quite important to what he is currently doing and thinking.

So after Xiang Kunwei hesitated, he did not choose to take the liberty of stopping the "flying mutant creature" from taking away the "mutant bird", but continued to lurk in the forest and wait.

When the "flying mutant creatures" flew away and the drones scattered everywhere also withdrew, Xiang Kun began to stride through the forest.

After he entered the depths of Wushu Mountain, he took off his shoes and coat and hid them in advance, and moved directly barefoot in the mountains.

In the dark night, there is no need for lighting, Xiang Kun relied on his night vision ability and super brain computing and processing ability, instantly planned the fastest route, ran up wildly in the forest against the ground, and sometimes jumped over mountain walls, encountered obstacles, and even used his hands and feet together.

If someone is nearby at this time, and they notice the movement, or they are passing by, they may be startled, thinking that it is some kind of beast running wildly, and they can't see clearly or realize that it is a person.

After running wildly for a while, Xiang Kun arrived at the area where the "Flying Mutant Creature" and the "Mutant Big Bird" were fighting.

Although the main battlefield of the two "mutant creatures" was in the air, the "mutant bird" fell into the forest several times, so many areas here were also in shambles, many branches were broken, grass and trees collapsed, the bark was lifted away, and some trees that were not very thick were even knocked out of the soil with their roots turned up.

However, Xiang Kun did not find the feathers or flesh of the "mutant big bird" in these areas, which was also within his expectations, but the smell was still there, and he also determined that the big bird that was captured by the "flying mutant creature" was the "mutant big bird" he had encountered twice.

The place where these "mutant big birds" had fallen before was the place that Xiang Kun's "intuition" pointed to him.

Just now, he retraced his memory, carefully recalled the various sensory information he had obtained, and found that the "mutant bird" seemed to have deliberately planted itself on the ground several times after it was unable to escape from the air.

At that time, he thought that the "Mutant Big Bird" was trying to kill from the ground, or escape from the ground with the help of the terrain in the forest, but when he thought about it at this time, Xiang Kun immediately realized that he might have guessed its purpose wrong.

Xiang Kun did not directly use his sense of sight or smell to search this area, because this area is a bit large, and the "Mutant Big Bird" has been thrown down more than once, and there are several points that need to be investigated.

Fortunately, now the large army of "flying worker ants" has also arrived nearby, so after sprinkling out those "flying worker ants" carrying "super-conjugated" balls, Xiang Kun entered the "super-sensing state", using the dozens of "super-conjugated" scattered around to expand the scope of his perception of cognitive information.

Xiang Kun's search target is also very clear, that is, cognitive information related to "mutant creatures".

In fact, just like you want to find some content in a book, sometimes it is faster and more intuitive to take the physical book and turn it directly, and sometimes it is faster and more convenient to search for txt documents with ctrl+F on the computer.

In the "supersensory state", he quickly locked onto his target.

Opening his eyes, he walked briskly in one direction towards Kun, squatting down among the grass in a pile of crooked lying on the ground as if he had been pressed by the "mutant big bird" when he fell to the ground, and reached out to slowly pull the grass away.

Xiang Kun saw a broken eggshell, there was a lot of slime around the eggshell, which extended to a small hole in the ground not far away, and it seemed that some creature hatched out of the eggshell, and then ...... Ran through the ground?

Xiang Kun picked up a piece of slime-stained eggshell and sniffed it, very sure that this egg belonged to the "mutant bird".

It's normal for birds to lay eggs, but when they are beaten and chased by the enemy, they deliberately fall from the sky and quickly secretly lay an egg and continue to fight.

And the size of the eggs laid by birds is generally directly related to their own body size, normally speaking, even if the "mutant big bird" really lays eggs, it should be much larger than this, and from the eggshell, this egg is even smaller than ordinary eggs.

What's more, it takes a certain amount of time for eggs to hatch, and even if it is a "mutant creature", the incubation time is shortened, and it is not so short.

Could it be that as soon as the egg was hidden, other creatures came out of the ground, broke the shell, ate its contents, and ran away?

But Xiang Kun quickly dismissed this possibility, because judging from the way the eggshell was broken, the traces on the ground next to it, and the smell around it, there was no other creature destroying the eggshell from the outside, and the eggshell was propped up from the inside.

And judging by the traces, the one that broke through the eggshell and crawled away from the hole was not like a bird, but more like a long-shaped multi-legged insect.

People say that "the son of a dragon and a phoenix and a mouse will make a hole", why is this special "son" of a big bird who can't fly, but why does it break out of the hole and run away?

That's weird.

Moreover, what the hell is it that an egg laid by a bird, after hatching, becomes a multi-legged bug?

It's a "mutated creature", but it's too mutated, isn't it?

Could it be that it has devoured some special "mutant creature" and obtained this "completely metamorphosed development mode"? Later, this insect will pupate again, and it will become a bird again?

Wrong...... It is not breeding.

Xiang Kun realized something, he took out a tungsten steel ball, controlled it to drill into the hole, within his control, found that it had not reached the end of exploration, so he let a few "little worker ants" brought directly into it.

He had planned to put "Zero Zero One" in it as well, but after taking one look at the eggshell, he changed his mind and put "Zero Zero One" and "Zero Zero Two" on the eggshell.

Soon, "Zero Zero One" and "Zero Zero Two" will consciously and quickly begin to gnaw on the film and juice on the inside of the eggshell fragments, and even after the film is finished, they will begin to gnaw on the eggshell.

But after gnawing for a while, those broken eggshells began to change rapidly, and in just a dozen seconds, all of them turned into gray powder, and when a breeze came, most of them were scattered.

Xiang Kun judged according to his intuition, this egg was not the "offspring" left by the "mutant big bird", but itself!

It is "shutting off its tail to survive" in this way, and its original body of the big bird is the "tail".

This egg, and later changes, is its special ability to continue life.

It is unknown if this is an ability obtained from other "mutated creatures", or a special escape method derived from its own adaptation to the environment based on the abilities of other "mutated creatures".

It is conceivable that if this is a way to escape, as Xiang Kun guessed, the price paid will be huge.

Xiang Kun originally planned to put the "Zero Zero One" and "Zero Zero Two" who had a "full" meal into the small hole in the ground, and let the two of them be responsible for leading the ant colony to hunt down the "birds and insects", but found that they were both motionless at this time, as if they were asleep.

Xiang Kun had no choice but to temporarily put them in the small box he carried with him, and then left the tungsten steel balls that he had used to explore the cave in the cave as a marker.

When "Zero Zero Two" rested, his ability to control the ant colony produced by "Zero Zero Two" also decreased a lot, not that the ant colony would get out of control, but that his understanding of his orders would be very low, and it would be difficult to make accurate instructions.

At this moment, Xiang Kun's senses, which had always been instinctively on high alert, suddenly detected a distant sound, and he quickly realized that a large number of drones were coming this way.

It seems that the "flying mutant creature" has also sensed the "mutant bird"'s "broken tail to survive" tactic.

According to Xiang Kun's speculation on the normal physiological characteristics of the "mutant creature", when the egg began to hatch, the body of the "mutant big bird" that was captured had already become a severed body or organ, just like the feathers it fell, and it would not take long for it to completely lose its vitality and disappear into powder.

Xiang Kun began to run in the opposite direction, but after not running for a while, he stopped and chose to find a place to hide next to him.

Because he realized that in this case, no matter how fast he ran on the ground, he couldn't go faster than the flying machine in the sky. And if he moves quickly, it is easy to attract the attention of infrared thermal imaging, and since the other party can hunt down the invisible "mutant big bird", there must be a way to distinguish him in the forest.

Xiang Kun had thought about a way to falsify the surface temperature and fuse himself with the ambient temperature before, deceiving the infrared thermal imaging, after all, normal infrared thermal imaging equipment should not have a special way to distinguish "mutant creatures" like his infrared thermal imaging vision mode.

But at present, he has not completed this method, and he is directly experimenting here, and the success rate is not high.

So even if he doesn't run and finds a place to hide, once the "flying mutant creature" who killed the horse pistol uses a drone to carry out a large-scale search, then he is still very likely to be discovered.

Either...... Just fight?

After closing the distance before, Xiang Kun also relied on his super eyesight, and found in the low-light night vision mode that the "flying mutant creatures" and "mutant birds" can be invisible.

And judging from his previous experience in Zihuan Mountain and his fight with the "Mutant Big Bird", the power of the "Flying Mutant Creatures" is still above the "Mutant Big Bird"!

Coupled with the engine and other equipment that were obviously attached to his body, and the long chains that extended, Xiang Kun's estimation of the strength of the "flying mutant creature" was very high.

Not to mention that if the other party is "Shenxing Technology", it is very likely that a large number of back-ups can arrive in a short time.

Of course, if he really had to make a preliminary judgment with little information available, he still felt that he had a better chance of winning.

Because tonight's weather is also good - dark clouds are overhead, and mountain rain is coming.

Compared to flying, the current Xiang Kun is not afraid of any creature, if the other party relies on machinery and electronic equipment, just like those drones, then his advantage is even greater.

In fact, since the discovery of the "Mutant Big Bird" and the "Flying Mutant Creatures", Xiang Kun has been constantly deducing the possible development of conflicts based on the changes in actual information, and at the beginning, he dealt with the two "mutant creatures" alone.

However, after stopping and hiding, Xiang Kun immediately made a decision:

Can you not expose yourself, or don't expose yourself.

If you can be sure that the other party is the enemy, there is no doubt that even if you are not well prepared, in the case of a narrow encounter, you must strike first, find the right opportunity, attack with all your might, and strive for a one-hit kill.

But for now, he can't be sure that the other party is the enemy.

Even if the "flying mutant creature" was most likely to belong to the "Shenxing Technology", he was not sure what kind of attitude and position the other party would have towards him after knowing his situation.

But it is impossible for him to jump out directly to test the other party's position, directly expose himself, and put the initiative in the hands of the other party.

This option is too risky in the absence of knowledge about the other party.

So Xiang Kun quickly came up with a plan:

Scare the other person away.
