We wandered in the forest for a few more days. At noon, Chen Xing had lunch and climbed up the treetops to investigate the situation ahead as usual.
In addition to dangerous creatures, he also looks for edible things, such as jungle hares, colorful elk, or wild melons and fruits, as long as they are edible and non-toxic. The roasted rabbit meat had gone bad and sour, so I threw it away after taking one bite at lunch. If you want to survive in the jungle, you have to find more food. There will always be time to run out of dry food.
After observing for a while, I found nothing unusual. Just as I was about to get off the tree, there was a sudden "buzz" sound behind me. That was the sound of membrane wings vibrating at high speed. Immediately afterwards, a strong stream of air blew from behind. Chen Xing sensed danger and slid sideways without looking back.
The body fell freely among the branches and leaves, and soon reached the ground. The leaves above shook wildly, as if something was rushing down. Chen Xing didn't think much, and the moment he landed, he jumped seven or eight meters away. His agility is as high as 62 points, which is extremely agile even among guard-level mutant creatures.
"Buzz buzz!"
The leaves fell like raindrops, and a black shadow rushed out of the tree crown and plunged towards the ground. Just as he was about to hit the ground, the black shadow suddenly turned at a 90-degree angle and rushed towards Chen Xing close to the ground, as fast as a black lightning. The leaves behind him were picked up by the vacuum air flow caused by the rapid flight, and rushed upward again.
The black watch detects nearby creatures, and the information automatically rolls up.
[Mutant Fruit Flies (Guardian)]
[Vitality: 267/275]
[Innate ability: rapid flight, rapid reproduction]
[Viruses that may be carried: smallpox virus]
Chen Xing ran forward without looking back, his body quickly shuttled between tree trunks and vines, like a nimble ape. The mutant fruit fly behind him was extremely fast and was chasing him in the blink of an eye. The sound of its membrane wings beating seemed to be in his ears, and the high-pressure air blew his hair around.
But he didn't panic. He suddenly made a sharp turn and went around to the back of a big tree. There was a muffled "pop" sound immediately behind him, as if something hit the trunk of the tree. The whole tree was shaking and the leaves were falling. Sprinkle.
Mutated fruit flies have the same defect as ordinary fruit flies - poor eyesight. Although its compound eyes are very large, occupying half of its head, and have a 270-degree viewing angle, they still cannot change the fate of myopia.
Originally, it was okay to be short-sighted, but the bad thing was that its speed and flexibility far exceeded its eyesight, so it was common for it to hit a wall.
The mutated fruit fly shook its head, flew backwards, and refocused its compound eyes on its target. The membrane wings beat at high speed, changed direction, and with a "buzz" sound, turned into a black storm and rushed towards the target. Its membrane wings are as sharp as blades, and the roots and vines it touches are immediately cut into pieces.
Taking advantage of the gap between it hitting the tree, the prey had already ran more than ten meters away. But it was extremely fast, closing the distance in the blink of an eye. But at this moment, the prey suddenly turned sharply, and it instinctively chased after it. Then it flashed before its eyes and hit a hard object.
"Boom!"
At the same time as the impact sounded, Chen Xing, who was behind the tree, pulled out the Silver Star and threw himself towards the other side of the tree. Half of the mutant fruit fly's body came into view. The red abdomen kept contracting and inflating, as if it was trying to retreat. Chen Xing directly pulled the trigger without thinking.
Fruit flies are flying creatures and are agile. In order to reduce weight, even their carapace is hollow, so their defense is naturally not as high as that of crawling creatures. Even though the bullets were not infused with psychic energy, they were still beaten until they screamed and turned around and fled.
Chen Xing couldn't catch the fruit fly and had to give up. But guardian-level creatures are somewhat intelligent and will not give up easily. After more than an hour, the mutated fruit flies came back. This time he changed his strategy and flew around at high speed, looking for hunting opportunities.
The mutant fruit fly was too fast and passed by in a blink of an eye. Chen Xing could not aim at all and could only use the terrain to play hide-and-seek with the opponent.
Humans are always smarter. Half an hour later, Chen Xing’s mutant fruit fly was tired and stopped on a raised rock to rest. It is the size of a buffalo, with its membrane wings tucked behind its back. It is more than two meters long and reflects a crystal-like luster in the sun.
In the bushes, a black muzzle stuck out, and a red crosshair landed on its head.
Suddenly, it noticed a dangerous spiritual energy fluctuation, and immediately flapped its membrane wings and flew out.
"Bang!"
Blue flames shot out from the muzzle, and the protruding rocks shattered with the sound. Chen Xing, who was hiding in the bushes, cursed secretly and ducked away. This mutant fruit fly is not only fast, but also very alert, making it difficult to succeed.
One person and one person spent time until dark, but no results were obtained. Chen Xing hid in the bushes and slept all night. Early the next morning, as soon as he heated up the bagged food, the mutated fruit flies rushed over after smelling the smell. It flew in a "Z" shape in the forest, the speed was so fast that it was dizzying, let alone aiming, it was difficult to even see clearly.
Chen Xing had no choice but to leave his breakfast and run away.
At noon, the mutant fruit fly smelled a strong aroma of meat and flew around for more than ten times. After finding no danger, it landed.
The meaty aroma came from a round object. It stretched out the straw and pierced the object. When it was about to inject saliva, melt the food and absorb it, it heard a "pop" sound. It immediately pulled out the straw, flapped its membrane wings and soared into the sky.
"boom!"
The next second after leaving, the round object exploded, and a heat wave rushed towards it. The mutated fruit fly's tail was burned, but it was blown out by the high-speed airflow in an instant, leaving only a faint black smoke.
"It's really difficult."
Chen Xing, who was hiding in the dark, sighed secretly. This fruit fly is too smart. It seems that the methods used to deal with the yellow-spotted evil lizard cannot be used.
He couldn't help but have a headache. This ghost was not only difficult to deal with, but also very vindictive. He couldn't help but get rid of it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat without peace of mind. He thought for a while and came up with a new strategy.
The mutated fruit fly flew around its territory several times and smelled the fragrance again. Although it was almost bombed half an hour ago, the fruit fly has a small brain and limited memory, and its desire for food quickly overcomes its assessment of danger. It circled around the source of the smell a few times and landed.
The smell of meat, the smell of nuts, the smell of sugar, a lot. It stretched out its esophagus, tested it a few times, and flew back and forth a few times. After making sure there was no danger, it started eating happily.
"When you're full, it's time to hit the road..."
When the flies had eaten most of their food, a small murmur erupted from the bushes fifty meters away, and then a gunshot rang out.
"Bang!"
The blue bullet came out of the gun. Sensing the danger, the fruit fly immediately flapped its membrane wings and took to the air.
However, this time it was half a beat too slow. After eating so much, my movements naturally became much slower. Maybe it was only a tenth of a second slower, but this tenth of a second was extremely fatal. The bullet came with a bang, hitting its body, and half of its membrane wing fell off. Normally, it would grow back in just a few days, but its opponent would obviously not give it such a chance.
Chen Xing rushed out of the bushes and chased him fiercely. The mutated fruit fly that has lost half of its membrane wing flies around like a drunk, constantly bumping into things.
A moment later, at the cost of ten days of food storage, Chen Xing ended the mutant fruit fly's life with one shot, leaving it a dead ghost.
After getting rid of the fruit flies, the area is temporarily safe. Under normal circumstances, there is only one guard-level creature in an area, otherwise a battle will occur until one party dies or withdraws.
Chen Xing made several simple traps to catch prey and collect food in this area. Before long, he began to move to the next area, looking for a new target.
Life in the jungle is monotonous and arduous. Searching for targets, fighting, collecting food, and resting are repeated over and over again.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed. The weather has begun to turn cold and winter is about to enter.
The trees in the Black Death Jungle are mainly banyan trees, which do not lose their leaves. Even if it snows in winter, they will maintain their original appearance.
This afternoon, Chen Xing looked at the bright yellow crystal core in front of the sun. This is a relatively rare crystal core, most of which are red, green, and blue, representing strength, agility, and spiritual tendencies respectively. Bright yellow represents the physical tendency.
Stars flickered in the crystal core, indicating the identity of its owner—a guard-level mutant creature.
Behind Chen Xing lay a green insect-like creature several meters long. It was motionless. The triangular head shell was split open by an axe, revealing the yellow-green brain tissue inside. There was a hole in the middle, as if something had been dug out. The light green membrane wings are three to four meters long and are covered with bullet holes, as well as on the swollen belly. It can be seen that they were shot through the membrane wings.
This is an "iron mantis". It can fly but is not very fast. It has strong vitality but a thin shell. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to deal with.
Its encounter with Chen Xing can be said to be accidental or inevitable, because they are both chasing the same beautiful elk. The colorful elk is very fast and flexible. It can maintain speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour on complex terrain. Its skin has protective color, making it very difficult to catch.
The two hunters met each other, and the elk escaped safely. A battle ensued, and Chen Xing finally won.
The reason why Chen Xing looked at this crystal core was because he was considering whether to use it as a hero potion. Physical fitness was his weakness, so he subconsciously thought of it. During this period of time, he had killed more than a dozen guard-level mutant creatures, large and small, and he had yet to encounter a "cross-eyed" one. He couldn't help but wonder whether what the old monster Hei said was true or false.
But he quickly gave up the idea. There is no other reason. This Iron Mantis is too weak. With this bloodline, he is probably just a professional punching bag, not particularly durable.
After spending two days following the trails of the colorful elk, he finally caught a newborn calf. He was only as big as a lamb, his legs and feet were not long, and he couldn't run very fast, but it also took away a lot of his effort. There are many creatures that can survive in this jungle, and each has its own unique skills.
Venison is a first-class delicacy. He was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he first found a small river in the mountains, disemboweled and cleaned the calf by the river, then gathered firewood and roasted it happily.
It is said that deer blood has aphrodisiac properties, so he did not dare to drink it. It is difficult to solve the problem if evil fire is generated in this ghost place.
In addition to deer blood, venison is also a great source of nourishment and is the best game food. It didn’t take long before the rich aroma spread out. The golden deer fat drips down the hooves and onto the wood, emitting a faint white smoke, which is much more fragrant than rabbit meat that lacks fat.
Chen Xing couldn't help but worry about whether such a strong aroma would attract other mutated creatures. But he couldn't bear to stop. The hard life for many days made him full of desire for delicious food.
Moments later, his fears became reality.
White figures emerged from the bushes across the river. He bared his teeth and let out a low growl from his throat. Saliva dripped down the fangs and fell to the ground, extremely fierce.
Insect turns into wolf!
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and stood up.
For him in the past, insect-like wolves were a disaster, but for him now, it was more than enough to deal with a dozen of them.
But, how many are there in this group?
The insect-turned-wolf on the opposite side did not rush towards him, but just stared at him from the other side of the river.
"Shashasha..."
The bushes behind the insect-turned-wolf were shaking, and there seemed to be more companions.
One, two, three, four, five...
Seventeen, nineteen, twenty-one...
Thirty, thirty-five, forty...
Chen Xing counted silently, but his counting speed could not match the speed of the insect wolf appearing. More and more insect-turned wolves appeared on the opposite side, shoulder to shoulder, and in the blink of an eye there were hundreds of them.
There are too many and they can only retreat. Chen Xing slowly held the branch wearing a deer and was about to turn around and escape. The bushes on the opposite side suddenly opened to both sides, as if something big was coming, and he stopped involuntarily.
A huge figure walked out, his movements calm and elegant, unhurried and slow.
His eyes were scarlet and murderous. Her silver hair is as white as snow, spotless. Looking around, he was filled with the majesty of a king.
In an instant, memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and he seemed to see the silver light under the moonlight.
Howling at the moon, moving forward indomitably.
At that time, he had just been reborn, and was chased by Wang Bo and others in a dune buggy. He fled into the stone mountain and hid in the middle of the night, where he witnessed a battle between the wolves and the corpse king. The silver wolf in front of him was the wolf king he saw that night.
He recognized it with just one glance. The impression left on him that night was so profound that he was still thinking that one day he would be able to use it as a talking point for future generations when he is old.
It wasn't until this moment that he understood what the "eye-to-eye" feeling the old monster Hei said felt like.
