What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Chapter 41 Hunting

Looking at the time, it was already more than two in the morning.

Xiang Kun didn't know if the giant owl had the same rapid recovery ability as him. Now he found a place to rest and lick his wounds and wait for the opportunity to hunt him again, or he would fly away after he rested.

But if you want to find that owl, it should be the easiest before dawn.

After all, during this time period, the scent of the owl has not yet dissipated, and Xiang Kun's body functions and sense of smell are at their peak before dawn.

What's more, the owl was afraid of people and didn't dare to act during the day. Xiang Kun also didn't want to be hit by someone while hunting the owl.

If possible, Xiang Kun even hopes to catch the giant owl alive.

If it really has a strong resilience, it can take some blood every once in a while and turn it into a long-term "meal ticket", which is definitely more cost-effective than a one-off sale.

Besides, he also wanted to observe and study that giant owl, to see why it became such a big one, whether it was a new species, or it suddenly mutated like himself, and what was the reason for it.

But it was just after thinking about it. He didn't have the equipment and ability to catch that owl alive, nor did he have a place to raise and research it.After finding the Owl, it must be a fight that cannot be kept.

After making a decision, Xiang Kun did not go out immediately.

Because there is another very important question: even if the giant owl is found, how to catch it?

The short fight between the owl and the owl before the lake was actually only a short ten seconds. He was basically sure that if he dragged it to the ground, his power would not be inferior to that owl, and he would even have bare hands , And he could beat the owl half to death—he was quite sure that he had blinded the owl with one eye at the time. Of course, whether it could recover or how long it would recover is temporarily unknown.

If you bring tools, even just a short knife, a hammer, a screwdriver, etc., it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness and lethality.

But that owl can fly...

This determines the initiative to fight or not to fight on the Owl.

It was the owl who took the initiative to attack him at the lake before, so he was hit on the ground.

What if the owl wants to run?

Xiang Kun had thought about it, surely don't even think about shotguns, anesthesia guns, etc.Get a crossbow?Or compound bow?The question is, where does he get bows and crossbows in the middle of the night?And if you get it temporarily, there is no practice and familiarity, and accuracy cannot be guaranteed.If a normal arrow is not modified, its lethality is limited. Even if it can actually hit it, it may not cause enough damage to make such a large owl lose its ability to fly.

Moreover, Xiang Kun just searched for the relevant characteristics of owls and found that owls not only have strong vision at night, but also have a well-developed sense of smell and hearing.If, like him, it is strengthened after mutation, it will be even more terrifying.If you want to get close to a sneak attack, you may not be able to do it.

So Xiang Kun came up with an idea, maybe...

Call the police?

Such a big owl can hunt adult huskies, which is quite threatening.And it can also be said to be a cherished species that needs protection.

When the time comes, whether it is the police station, the garden bureau or any department, there will definitely be more professional equipment and personnel to capture it.

After catching the giant owl, it will definitely be sent to a professional organization for corresponding research and observation. Maybe you can find the reason why it can grow so big and the factors that cause the mutation.

But Xiang Kun also quickly gave up this idea. For one thing, it was difficult for him to convince the police or other departments that there was such a big owl, which caused them to pay attention to it. Secondly, it was impossible to send someone to hunt under his command. Catch, after all, he can’t tell others that his scent tracking ability is better than hounds. Thirdly, even if the real owl is caught, it really has the value of research and protection. Even if he is the first to find out, he will not Must be eligible for research progress and reports.And he would definitely not have the chance to get blood from the owl to drink.

Generally speaking, Xiang Kun always likes to make decisions before acting. He prepares first and makes plans. However, when things are coming to an end and there is no time to prepare, he also makes decisions first.

So he didn't think about it any more, thinking about it again, it was dawning, so he took a Swiss army knife, a flashlight and a screwdriver and went out.

Now naturally there is no time to prepare any weapons. There is a knife bought specifically for killing rabbits at home, but against that giant owl, this knife is not necessarily better than a screwdriver.On the contrary, going out with a knife is prone to misunderstanding and unnecessary trouble.

At 3:21 in the morning, Xiang Kun once again came to the lake where he had encountered the giant owl.

Xiang Kun discovered the feathers of the giant owl that had fallen to the ground during the fight with him.

Generally speaking, when you see this situation, you will feel that someone should have come and picked up those feathers.Or the wind is blowing to other places.

But when Xiang Kun left before, he put a few feathers in his trouser pocket, but he couldn't find it when he got home.

At that time, he still wondered if he lost it when he went down to the lake, but now that all the feathers on the lake have disappeared, he thought of the experiment he had done on himself before—cut off a piece of rice the size of a small finger. After a while, after his wound healed, that piece of meat also turned into powder.

These feathers, perhaps like the flesh on his little finger, turned into powder and dissipated in the air after leaving the body?

Xiang Kun followed the scent left by the giant owl and began to track. Although the owl and his fight lasted only ten seconds, both sides were hurt extremely badly and shed a lot of blood, so there were a lot of odors on both sides. Residue.

And because of the injury, the owl was unable to fly too fast.

Under the influence of wind, the directivity of the smell in the air will be a little erratic, but Xiang Kun does not rely solely on smell tracking. He determined that with the action style of that owl, it is unlikely that it will be densely crowded even at night. If you fly in the direction of the sky, you must flee in the direction of more mountains, more trees, fewer buildings, and more deserted.

An hour later, Xiang Kun squeezed a leaf and sniffed deeply, then looked up at the bushes on the hillside tens of meters away. Although only a shadow of the tree could be seen from this angle, he knew that the owl was there. .

Where he is now is where the dead mouse was found before.

He didn’t think there was a temporary nest for the giant owl, because he had searched the hill in detail before, and there was no odor of the owl, and even the dead mouse should have been thrown down from the air. It never came in.

As for running here now, it is estimated that this lone mountain is the most suitable place for it to hide and recover within the closest distance.

Xiang Kun squeezed the screwdriver in his hand and walked slowly over there.

When Xiang Kun came out from behind a tree and looked at the giant owl standing on a huge rock, the owl was also staring at him with big eyes.

Obviously, when Xiang Kun determined the location of the owl, the owl also noticed his arrival.

Xiang Kun did not rush forward, because he observed through the moonlight that most of the owl's head was wounded and the eye that was blinded by him had recovered more than half.

Obviously, although its recovery speed is not as fast as Xiang Kun, it is also far faster than other animals.

Owl stared at Xiang Kun closely, his huge body adjusted its position slightly as he moved, keeping its face facing each other, and its wings were kept half-spread, ready to take off at any time-where it was, right There is no tree branch above it and it can fly away directly.
