Chapter 46 Entering the Mountain

When I was approaching the village, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Xiang Kun’s original plan was to first check the tree mentioned by the poster at night to make sure that he saw the giant owl at the time, and ask the car that took him to wait for a while, and look for it in a nearby town at night. Take a rest at a hotel or hotel, and then search the mountain tomorrow.

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

Because he suddenly discovered that his visual ability at night had been greatly improved or mutated.

When the light is weak, he can actively switch to a new visual mode, as if an extra layer of "lens" is covered on the retina, and the already dim environment will instantly become clearer, even better than his The images of the night vision goggles seen in movies and TV are still clearer.

But the scene seen in this mode is different from the normal situation, because there is no color, the whole world is like black and white, or to be precise, it should be composed of different degrees of light and dark, but this mode can make He clearly judges the objects and distances that are moving.

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

He knew very well that this was not the reason he was training and affecting the direction of mutation. Ninety-nine percent of it was because he drank the blood of that giant owl.

He has read the information, 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 need to be done during the day.

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

Most of the young people in the village have gone to the cities to work or study, and most of those left behind are the elderly.There are no street lights in the village. Unless there is some excitement, the rest is very early and there will not be many people on the road.

So Xiang Kun was not disturbed, and quietly found the largest tree at the entrance of the village that the poster mentioned.

Although Xiang Kun had never climbed a tree before, it was naturally not a problem relative to his current physical fitness.

After getting up the tree, Xiang Kun switched to the normal visual mode, then turned on the flashlight, and carefully checked the approximate location of the "human shadow" that the poster said.

It's not that you can't see clearly with the night vision mode, but for some traces, you still need color resolving ability, which makes it easier to see details under strong light.

After rustling on the tree for twenty minutes, Xiang Kun found the paw print.

He knew that if the figure on the tree that the poster saw a month ago was the giant owl, its weight, coupled with the enlarged and sharp claws, would definitely leave deeper claw marks, and it would definitely be On the thicker horizontal branches.

Within a month, the smell of the owl had disappeared, but the paw prints still remained.

After finding the paw prints, Xiang Kun's spirits lifted, his analysis and judgment and first intuition were not wrong, and he did not run in vain.

After Xiang Kun got down from the tree, he took out his mobile phone and called up the map APP to observe the situation around the village.

In fact, Xiang Kun had already done an investigation on the way here. Although the village is on the mountain, it is far from a deep mountain. It only takes more than 40 minutes to drive to the nearest town, and the road conditions are not bad. There is not a lot of traffic, here at most it is just the place where the owl passes by after leaving its original habitat.

Not to mention that there is no smell of that owl at all now, even if there is, Xiang Kun will not be able to follow the smell from here.

On the map, this village is more and more prosperous with plains and cities to the east and south.

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

Only to the west, and the further west, the more and denser the mountain forest, the lower the degree of development, and it goes deep into the neighboring province.

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

He didn't stay nearby, and didn't find a place to rest for a night. Instead, he walked to the west with his backpack and went into the mountains by night.

In his backpack, there are two changes of clothes, a few pairs of socks, underwear, a power bank, a flashlight and a row of spare batteries, a Swiss army knife, and a kettle.

If a fan of survival in the wild sees these things Xiang Kun has brought, he is afraid that he will shake his head. There are too few and many basic necessities.

But for Xiang Kun, these things are enough.

In fact, because of the night vision ability he just discovered, Xiang Kun didn't even need a flashlight when he was walking at night.

He didn't always walk along the road, nor was he going to the west. He would often stop to find a taller tree to climb up, or climb other high points with better views, and observe around.

Xiang Kun is taking the surrounding scenery and comparing the pictures in the memory of those owls he has seen, in order to trace the footprints and habitat of the owl, looking for any traces left by it.

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon on August 16, a bald backpacker was running fast on the ring road.

He doesn't just run on the highway, he even jumps directly from above to take shortcuts when passing some turns.

The height up and down was at least two stories high, but after the bald head fell down on the road, he released his strength and continued to run with all his strength.

If anyone sees it, they will be surprised, not only at the bald head's running speed and jumping from such a high place, but also at...this guy actually has his bare feet.

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

Although full of calculations, Xiang Kun only spent four and a half days in the mountains, almost 110 hours.But he is different from ordinary people. He has basically never stopped to rest during these 110 hours, and is always moving constantly no matter the day or night.There is no need to find food, cook, rest, sleep, or even find a place to Lhasa.Therefore, his actual utilization rate of the four and a half days may be stronger than that of ordinary people in fifteen days.

So he even lost his shoes, and he had replaced them in his backpack, but he couldn't help it.It can only be a pair of dermal fleshy feet walking around the world. At first, the feet were bloody and bloody, and there were countless bruises, but anyway, the recovery ability was strong, and I didn't care much. It was a targeted training for trauma recovery.

In the past four and a half days, Xiang Kun found a lot of traces of that owl, most of which were paw prints left in various places. According to those memory images, he even found a beast bone that died in the hand of an owl. The traces left also show how terrible the owl's claws are.

He also found the mutated den of the owl-a cave on the cliff wall.

Xiang Kun also determined the scope of the hunting and survival of the owl before it mutated, and many sceneries corresponded to the memory images he had obtained.

It's a pity that no clue has been found as to why the giant owl mutated.

In addition, Xiang Kun also hunted down a few wild animals in the mountains. Although he only brought a Swiss army knife, he had to deal with heavy-skinned and medium-sized animals such as wild boars, but he still had to catch hares and pheasants. Very simple.

Xiang Kun mainly tried some of the blood of these wild animals, and what is the difference between them and the stocked poultry and livestock bought in the vegetable market. They all licked slightly, did not dare to taste more, so as not to go to sleep after ingesting too much blood. status.

The result is that there is no difference from what is bought in the vegetable market.

However, this trip in the mountains did not achieve nothing.
