"That's it for today. I'll go to the southern forest to have a look." Zheng Yichen said to Arnold. After hearing what he said, Arnold immediately put away the beast card.
"It's getting late. If you're going to spend the night there, you'd better prepare some extra things."
"learn."
Zheng Yichen nodded. After knowing the details of the entrusted task, Zheng Yichen no longer had much hope for this task. However, it was good to get lucky in the past. He has learned so much new knowledge, but is it worthy of his brain? ?
Returning to the southern forest, Zheng Yichen looked at the forest covered by thick fog, took out his tent and prepared it. There was a temporary camp here, which was planned voluntarily by the hunters and the staff of the research institute. Zheng Yichen occupied it. 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 pie. They said 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, he had completed many commissioned tasks and so on.
And they could help Zheng Yichen with this kind of commissioned tasks, and even give him superhuman abilities. Hearing this, Zheng Yichen felt something was wrong. He had figured out the purpose of these people looking for him. Emotions They saw that his body was strong enough and wanted him to go to their research institute to try some strengthening medicines under development...
As long as Zheng Yichen agrees, the institute will immediately arrange follow-up matters, and even arrange many actual combat commissions, allowing Zheng Yichen to fight some powerful abnormal creatures to adapt to his enhanced body.
It sounds wonderful, but in fact it is just to find a strong white mouse. That kind of commission to fight abnormal creatures is probably not arranged by these research institutes to test two kinds of data.
The staff of the research institute left in disappointment. Zheng Yichen yawned, closed the tent, set an alarm on his phone, and then got ready to sleep for a while. He planned to walk around the outskirts of the forest in the second half of the night, maybe he could find something.
Later in the night.
After waking up, Zheng Yichen packed up his things and left the temporary camp. The temporary camp was also quite lively in the second half of the night, with fires and lights. Some night owl hunters were also active, and they were not surprised by Zheng Yichen's departure.
Zheng Yichen planned to go to a place with relatively few people to see that those abnormal creatures were not completely brainless, except for those whose brains turned into something else due to mutations.
There are so many people here, and those abnormal creatures will definitely not appear here. Judging from the simple information provided by the bartender, the people who were attacked were all outings. Think about the temporary camp, it is actually quite good for outings nearby. A safe thing right?
It's just that those who were outing recently were unlucky and encountered an abnormal creature that looked like a green-headed green man. It ignored the nearby camp and directly attacked people some distance away from the camp, and then escaped after being chased by hunters. .
Judging from this information, the intelligence of that thing shouldn't be too low, and its 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, it would be a way to replenish his condition. After all, his skin had begun to show some subtle signs of damage. 'withered'.
Although the marks are very light, he wants to keep his skin in the best condition if possible. It's not that it's stinky, but once there are signs of withering, it's like hanging a countdown watch around his neck. .
That watch is not used to tell time, but to tell how much of his life is left, which makes people very uncomfortable. When the body starts to wither, it means that the countdown of the watch has begun.
Zheng Yichen, who was walking quietly in the dark night, suddenly thrust out the fishing rod in his hand, and a black shadow jumped up. Zheng Yichen glanced at the jumping black shadow and curled his lips slightly. It was a rabbit, or an ordinary rabbit. , like the blood of abnormal creatures splashed on him can be absorbed by his skin.
Ordinary creatures are useless. Of course, if they are stabbed by the black spear derived from his abnormal ability, they can still 'suck blood', but it is of no use to him. Instead of draining this thing, it is better to roast it and eat it.
He was a little hungry when he thought about eating. After finding a place and digging a hole, he started to light a fire. Although he had never handled rabbits before, the specific method of handling them was probably to peel and remove the internal organs. Seasoning, this was given to Zheng Yichen by hunter Arnold when he left the Dusk Church.
It comes in handy now.
The smell of meat spread out in the middle of the night. Zheng Yichen's throat moved. He started eating the meat immediately after it was almost cooked. The taste could only be described as mediocre, but the food he made tasted delicious.
When he was half late, a subtle sound reached Zheng Yichen's ears. Zheng Yichen was a little confused at first. When he looked at the place where the sound came from, a gray horn came into his field of vision, and he remembered the sound of clothes tearing.
Zheng Yichen, who was anxious to avoid the blow, looked at the torn clothes on his side. The gray horn scratched his skin, leaving a medium-deep blood mark on his body. The blood flowed along the wound. come out.
Zheng Yichen looked at this gray... horse? No, it was a creature that was supposed to be a mule. He was somewhat disappointed. He thought this thing was supposed to be the legendary unicorn, but it turned out that it wasn't even a donkey. He was sure that this thing was not even a horse!
The one-horned mule opened its mouth slightly and spit out a snake-like tongue. The tongue was more than half a meter long. It licked the blood on its horn and then dropped it on the ground without even looking at it. Half of the roasted rabbit fell down, staring directly at Zheng Yichen.
"...It tastes better cooked." Zheng Yichen, who was stared at by the one-horned mule, cautiously took two steps back. The one-horned mule took several steps forward, conveying to Zheng Yichen that it wanted to eat raw. At the same time, there was a backpack between Zheng Yichen and the ground.
The shotgun is over there in the backpack.
This thing was unexpectedly smart. In response, Zheng Yichen threw away the fishing rod in his hand. The surface of the fishing rod was quickly covered with a layer of black substance. When there were people, the black gun was filled inside the fishing rod, but it was restricted. Due to the shape of the fishing rod, it is somewhat uncomfortable to use.
When no one is around, you can just wrap the fishing rod in it and save some consumption.
Hiss——
A snake-like cry came from the mouth of the one-horned mule. The thing rushed towards Zheng Yichen quickly, and its hissing sound had a spiritual impact.
Zheng Yichen had little experience and could not tell whether this thing was a local abnormal creature, but the hissing sound did not have that great impact on him.
He took out the hand cannon recommended to him by the gun shop owner, and aimed it at the one-horned mule's head. A shotgun is not easy to carry in your pocket, but this thing is easy to carry in your pocket!
