Chapter 46 Into the Mountain

It was almost eight o’clock in the evening when the village was approaching.

Xiang Kun originally planned to go and explore the tree mentioned by the poster at night to determine if he saw the giant owl at that time, and let the car carrying him wait for a while to find it in a nearby town at night. One hotel or hostel has a night’s rest and will search in the mountains tomorrow.

But when it was dark, Xiang Kun changed his mind.

Because he suddenly found that his visual ability at night had greatly improved or changed.

When the light is weak, he can actively switch to a new visual mode, as if an extra layer of “lens” is overlaid on the retina. The already dim environment will instantly become extremely clear, even better than that from his The pictures of those night vision devices you have seen in movies and TVs must be clear.

But the scene seen in this mode is different from the normal situation, because there is no color, the entire world is composed of black and white, or to be precise, it should be composed of different levels of light and dark, but this mode can Let him clearly determine what is moving and the distance.

This is no longer a simple visual improvement, it is a completely new model.

He was very clear that this was not the reason for his training and affecting the direction of mutation, 99% because he drank the blood of the giant owl.

He has read the data, but the night vision ability of TripAdvisor is very strong.

With this ability, Xiang Kun also has the ability to move in the mountains at night, and many things do not have to be done during the day.

So when he got to the place, Xiang Kun directly asked the car that brought him back.

Most of the youngsters in the village went to the city to work or study. Most of the left-behind were elderly people. There are no street lights in the village. Unless there is anything lively, the rest is early and there will not be many people on the road.

So Xiang Kun was not disturbed in any way, and quietly found the biggest tree in the village entrance that the poster said.

Although Xiang Kun had never climbed a tree before, this is not a problem relative to his current physical fitness.

After three, five, and two were on the tree, Xiang Kun switched to normal visual mode, then turned on the flashlight, and carefully checked the “silhouette” where the poster said it was.

It’s not to say that you can’t see clearly with the night vision mode, but some traces still need the ability of color resolution, and it is easier to see the details under strong light.

After looking for OO @@ 地 on the tree for 20 minutes, Xiang Kun found the paw print.

He knew that if the silhouette of the tree that the poster saw a month ago was the giant owl, then its weight, plus its larger and sharper paws, would definitely leave deeper paw prints, and it would definitely be in Thicker horizontal branches.

For a month, the owl’s smell had dissipated, but the paw prints remained.

After finding the paw prints, Xiang Kun’s spirit was refreshed. His analysis and judgment and the first intuition were not at all wrong. This way, not at all ran away.

After Xiang Kun got down from the tree, he took out his mobile phone, called up the map app, and observed the situation around the village on it.

In fact, Xiang Kun had already done a survey on the way. Although the village is on a mountain, it is far from the mountains. It is only 40 minutes’ drive from the nearest town, and the road conditions are not bad. There are many cars to and from here. At most, this is just the footing of the owl after leaving the original habitat.

Not to mention that simply doesn’t have the smell of that owl, even if it does, Xiang Kun can’t follow the taste from here.

On the map, east and south of the village are more and more plains and cities, and they are more and more prosperous.

There is a mountain to the north, but it is also a densely populated town after crossing the mountain.

Only to the west, the further west, the more and denser the mountain forests, the lower the development level, all the way into the neighboring provinces.

Xiang Kun speculated that the place where the owl lived before should be in that area.

He didn’t stay in the vicinity any more. He didn’t find a place to rest for a night first, but went directly to the west with his backpack, and stepped into the mountains by night.

His backpack contains two sets of changing clothes and a few pairs of socks and underwear. There is a power bank, a flashlight and a row of spare batteries, a Swiss army knife, and a kettle.

If the hobbyists who are living in the wild see these things brought by Xiang Kun, they are afraid to shake their heads. There are too few, and many basic necessities are not available.

But for Xiang Kun, these things are enough.

In fact, due to the night vision ability just discovered, Xiang Kun does not even need a flashlight when traveling at night.

He didn’t always walk along the road, nor was he reckless all the way to the west. He often stopped to find a taller tree to climb up, or climbed to other high points, where he had a better view, and looked around.

Xiang Kun is taking the surrounding scenery and comparing the pictures in the memory of the owl he saw to track the footprint and habitat of the owl and look for any traces left by it.

……

At 8 pm on August 16, a bald backpacker ran on the ring road.

He didn’t just run on the highway, he even jumped down from the top to make a short pass when he took some turns.

The height above and below the floor was at least two stories high, but the bald head fell off and rolled off the road as soon as it fell down.

If anyone saw it, they would be surprised, not only surprised at the speed of the bald head, jumping from such a high place, but also surprised … this guy is actually bare feet.

This bald head is naturally Xiang Kun. On the fifth day after entering the mountains alone, he decided to end this journey and go home.

Although full play, Xiang Kun has only been in the mountain for four and a half days, almost 110 hours. But he is different from ordinary person. He hasn’t stopped and rested for 110 hours. He moves constantly no matter day or night. No need to find food, cook, rest, sleep, or even find a place for Lazarus. Therefore, his actual utilization rate of four and a half days may be stronger than that of ordinary person for fifteen days.

So he even rotten his shoes and replaced them in his clothes and backpack, but there was nothing he could do. It can only be a pair of dermis feet walking around the world. Before long, the flesh and blood of the feet were blurred, and there were countless bruises.

In the past four and a half days, Xiang Kun found a lot of traces left by the owl, most of which were paw prints left in various places, and even based on those memory pictures, he found a wild beast bone that died in the hand of the owl. The traces above also show how terrifying the lethality of that owl’s paw.

The mutated den of the owl was also found-a cave in the cliff.

Xiang Kun also determined the range of hunting and survival before the owl mutated, and many scenes corresponded to those memory pictures he obtained.

It’s a pity not at all to find any clues as to why the giant owl mutated.

In addition, Xiang Kun also hunted a few wild animals in the mountain. Although he only brought a Swiss army knife to deal with the medium and large animals such as wild boar, the skin is rough, flesh is thick, but he caught a hare, pheasant The class is still very simple.

Xiang Kun mainly or for tried the blood of some of these wild animals, and there are so on differences from the stocked poultry and livestock bought at the vegetable market. They all licked a bit and did n’t dare to try more, so as not to ingest too much blood, Go to sleep.

The result is, what’s the difference between not at all bought at the market?

However, this trip to the mountains was not nothing.
