Xiang Kun carefully looked at the mouthparts that he had torn off in his hand, and looked at the organs and tissues attached to its ends. He didn't understand what these organs and tissues were used for, because it was similar to the various biological and medical sciences he had seen before. The organs in the books are not very similar.

He checked the dead spider's body again, carefully cracked its head, tapped its eyes, and switched the infrared imaging mode to observe.

It is basically certain that this mutant spider is a GG.

It seemed that this obviously very hard mouthpart should be the life gate of this mutant spider. Once it was pulled out, it would burp immediately.

It can also be seen that the mutant spider just now is really at the end of the road and has nothing to do.

However, if it is really pierced in the eye by its mouthpart, Xiang Kun estimated that it would be light to lose a blind eye. If you get closer, it is not impossible for your brain to be directly pierced.

Xiang Kun put the mouthpart on the side of the spider's corpse, then picked up the phone and started taking pictures-from entering the mountain, he switched the phone to airplane mode + deep power saving mode, and no signal was received here anyway.Except for a few photos, I haven't taken it out, so I still have battery support.

I turned on the flash and took several photos, including the inside of the spider's corpse. Now its abdomen is wide open, and it doesn't even need to be dissected.

The structure of this spider is really a bit complicated and weird. Looking back, find time to study it carefully and see how it mutated and evolved to this ghostly appearance.

Putting away the mobile phone, Xiang Kun looked at the spider's corpse, but it was a bit awkward. According to the law, after the mutant creature died, the body tissue should soon turn gray, and he had to drink blood quickly.

But what about this?

Moreover, the spider was hurt a bit badly before, and was beaten a bit badly. His body had been smashed by a stone in half, and he lost a lot of blood.

Xiang Kun carefully pulled the spider's body. He had discovered before that the blood of this mutant spider was also red, unlike the green, cyan, blue or other colors he thought.

Looking at the blood, his impulse to drink blood immediately surged, and the cells all over his body seemed to be cheering, waving his chopsticks and knives and forks, making him drink blood quickly.

While pulling the spider, looking for a place to drink blood, he unexpectedly felt the first time he had eaten a crab when he was a child...

According to the scheduled time, his blood-drinking period this time should be tomorrow noon, so even if he sets off now and rushes back now, when the hunger comes, he will definitely be on the way.But from previous experience, if he drank the blood of the mutant creature, the sleeping period would be greatly shortened, which would ensure that he would not have any problems on the way back.

However, the size and weight of this mutant spider can be regarded as behemoth compared to other spiders, but it is still far behind the mutant owl.After the injury, he lost a lot of blood, so Xiang Kun had tossed for a long time before drinking a little blood, and most of them were mixed with rainwater. If the blood is simply counted, it may not be enough 50ML.

If it was rabbit blood, this blood wouldn't even be enough to appetite, but now he already feels happy and full, and he has even begun to feel sleepy.

Xiang Kun stood up, wiped a handful of rain and blood stains on his face, stretched out his hand to let the rain wash off the stone that was just taken out of the spider, thinking about where he would fall asleep.

Under normal circumstances, if he falls asleep after drinking full blood, it is about 25 hours.But after drinking the blood of mutant creatures, the sleeping time will be greatly shortened. After drinking the blood of the giant owl for the first time, the sleeping time was more than an hour.The second time Guo Tianxiang's blood was 30 to 40 minutes.The difference in sleep time may be related to the degree of variation in blood sources.

He originally thought that he only drank such a little bit of spider blood this time. It might not be enough. He still needs to hunt for blood from other animals, but he didn’t expect that he had enough joy and satisfaction directly. This is because of this. The spider has a high degree of mutation, is it because it has died, or this part of the blood is just more important and particularly efficient?

It stands to reason that since he has been sleepy, he should not sleep for too long this time. If it is fast, it may be within half an hour, and if it is slow, it should not exceed two hours.

But during this period of time, he was still at his most vulnerable. He didn't have the ability to resist. He had to choose a good place to sleep, or he could go to the nest before the mutant spider, the hidden cave on the cliff?

But it’s a bit far away, and it’s probably a long time to walk over, and it’s not safe to say there.

Or climb into a tree to nest?Hope not to be struck by lightning.

Watching the spider's corpse and various parts of the body tissues on the ground dissipate little by little in the rain, turning into gray powder, immersed in water and mud, as if "melted" by rain.

Xiang Kun didn't choose to find a place to fall asleep immediately, but swallowed the stone into his abdomen and temporarily "suppressed" the sleepiness by the discomfort in his abdomen.

He followed the route he followed all the way back, quickly checking the traces along the way.

Xiang Kun faintly felt that something was wrong just now. Although he did not figure out what was wrong for a while, he knew that if he felt this way, it would definitely mean that he had obtained some special sensory information, but the brain's processing power was not enough. "Calculating" the concrete result, but giving an intuitive warning in advance.

Walking back all the way, he kept observing the traces on the road, and at the same time recalling the process of tracking at that time, and then he had to fight against the distress and the pain caused by suppressing the stones in his belly, very hard.

But if he was unsure, Xiang Kun really didn't dare to fall into a deep sleep casually.

For him now, sleeping in such deep mountains and old forests is not about wild beasts or poisonous insects. His body temperature is relatively low, and the smell is different from ordinary creatures. Even when he is asleep, ordinary poisonous insects, The beast is unlikely to pose a threat to him.

Only other mutant creatures and human beings are the issues he has to consider, and they are a real threat to him.

Fast forward in the rain, all the way back to the place where he had avoided the mutant spider spraying venom from the sky, and picked up the first stone he threw, as well as the bow and bow bag thrown on the side, as well as the torn pieces of clothes.

Then, not far from the place where the mutant spider was hit by a stone and fell to the ground, in Xiangkun's infrared imaging vision mode, he found a waist-length shrub with a little blue.

In this visual mode from Guo Tianxiang, this color basically means that it is a mutant creature.

Xiang Kun walked closer and switched his vision to night vision mode. This little bit of blue was some small red beads the size of pearls, with a thin film on the outside, which looked like blood on the inside - it might actually be blood.

Before tracking the mutant spider here, before the rain started, Xiang Kun judged from the smell that a small part of the bush was "branches" of the mutant spider, but he was pretty sure that at that time, on the bush, Without these tiny beads, no blue dots were seen in infrared imaging mode.

In other words, these blue dots only appeared after he chased the injured mutant spider away.

Xiangkun cast his gaze to the place where the mutant spider had fallen. There was a lot of its body tissue and blood remaining there. Naturally, it was not visible at all at this time. It should have turned into gray powder and was washed away by the rain.

The things in the small beads on this bush should be extracted from the remaining tissues and blood by what method it used, but why did they not disappear and turn gray?Even after the mutant spider died?Isn't it completely dead, is it existing in a new form?

Xiang Kun stood in front of the bush, the branches and leaves with red beads swaying constantly under the beating of the rain, as if trembling and afraid.

He guessed that these pearl-sized and small beads-like things should be a way of continuation of the mutant spider when he knew he was going to die. It might be the same as its ability to make and control "branches." source.I just don’t know if these things were born in the end, is it a "clone", a "child", or a new mutant creature?

Xiang Kun actually wanted to keep these tiny red beads and slowly observe their changes to see what they would become. This would definitely help him find the source of mutation and understand the mode of mutation.

And for himself, he is also very curious about it.

But now he was in extreme sleepiness after drinking blood, and he didn't want to be "anti-killed" by this thing when he was asleep. The ghost knew what it would become and how long it would be threatening.

So after Xiang Kun took out the phone and took the photo, he took a small bead, squeezed it directly, smelled the thick red liquid that burst out of it, licked it, and confirmed that it was the blood of the mutant spider.

Smack, smack, Xiang Kun didn't feel there was any problem in the blood, so he simply ate all these little beads.

After eliminating the blood in the little red beads and destroying the "branches" on the bush, the feeling of something wrong with Xiang Kun disappeared, although he has not yet determined how he is aware. When it comes to something wrong, the specific information is derived from the warning, but the source is obviously these small beads.

After checking the surroundings again, after confirming that there were no other blue spots, Xiang Kun walked for ten minutes, found a shallow pit on the mountain side that could shelter from rain, lay down, spit out the stones in his stomach, and put it on his wrist this time. The outdoor electronic watch bought before the trip was set twice to start timing, and then fell asleep in seconds.

...

When Xiang Kun regained consciousness, the rain hadn't stopped, it was just getting lighter, but the sky was already brighter.

He glanced at the time counted on the electronic watch on his wrist, 33 minutes, which was within the previously estimated time range.

He got up from the ground for the first time and checked his changes.

He didn't grow eight arms, several eyes, or weird green bars or vines. On the surface, he was still a normal man.

However, Xiang Kun clearly felt that his body had undergone a lot of changes, and his sensory abilities seemed to have been greatly improved, so that he even felt dizzy.

After a brief adaptation, Xiang Kun checked his various sensory abilities again, looking far away, his simple vision did not seem to be greatly improved, and the night vision mode and infrared thermal imaging mode did not change much.

I used my hearing to perceive the surrounding movement, and I have strengthened a bit in distinguishing the sound type and direction and sensitivity, but it is not very obvious.

The sense of smell is the same, and there is no rapid change.

Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. The sense of increased perception of the surrounding things and the substantial increase in the collection of information should be clear. There should be nothing wrong with this feeling. After he mutated, he trained his sense of hearing and smell for the first time, and then finished a drink. Blood, sensory abilities have evolved, they once had it.

Xiang Kun didn't feel entangled. He turned around and thought about these things slowly. He continued to check other changes in his body, and carefully looked at his wrist. There were no hidden holes for spinning, and no powerful suction cups appeared on his fingers.I felt the mouth, and there was no novel structure.No spider silk was felt in the abdomen, and it seemed that no organs such as spinners and silk glands were mutated.

Jumping up and down, jumping up and down, left and right, the jumping ability has been very obvious improvement, as if the whole person has become lighter, the core strength such as thighs, waist and abdomen has become a lot stronger, and the joint tissue should be strengthened accordingly. .

He walked into the rain, walked to some shrubs and weeds, stretched out his hand to perceive these plants carefully, then plucked a piece of grass into his mouth to chew, and chewed slowly for two or three minutes before removing the branches and leaves. And swallow the residue.

Twenty seconds later, he vomited the thing he had just swallowed again, looking at the green residue on the ground, he couldn't help frowning.

When he was asleep, he had a dream again, just like swallowing the blood of other mutant creatures twice before.This time the dream is even more bizarre, with many pictures.

He now naturally knows that those images are part of the memories of the mutant spiders. These memory fragments are much more than those of the giant owls, but they are still several orders of magnitude worse than Guo Tian.

Xiang Kun also needs to sort out the chronological order of those memory fragments to help understand, but he can basically be sure that this mutant spider is not only a mutant creature itself, but also swallowed at least two mutant plants-this also verified Xiang Kun's previous blood-sucking Speculation of the existence of mutant plants.

In the memory of mutant spiders, there are a large number of scenes of life and death fighting with the two different types of mutant plants, and therefore Xiang Kun knows many special abilities of those two plants.

And the ability to build "branches" should also be obtained from one of the two mutant plants.

Xiang Kun knows from his memory that there are two kinds of "branches" made by the mutant spider. One is that after it cannibalized a part of the plant, it immediately "continued" the almost identical part from its mouth, which Xiang Kun called it. For "transformation branch".

The other is that after the mutant spider directly removes a part of the plant, it uses the mouthparts and tail organs, and the special organs of the feet to help secrete large amounts of juice and fibers to "reconstitute" a new plant part, which is "grafted" in the original Xiang Kun called it "reconstructed branches" on the plants.

Both kinds of "branches" can smell that "special smell", but only "reconstructed branches" can produce fruit. Previously, mutant spiders made false nests on trees, which were actually used to design Xiangkun’s traps. , Is also mainly used "refactoring branch".After being intercepted, it will turn into a gray powder, like a mutated biological tissue, which is also "reconstructed branches."

As for "transformation branches", there is no specific effect in the many memory images of mutant spiders, but mutant spiders are still "made" in large numbers. According to Xiang Kun's speculation, their existence may be used to detect information And the ones that help the mutant spiders control the "reconstruction branches" are like individual "base stations" that are responsible for spreading signals.

Xiang Kun believes that the type of fruit that "reconstructed branches" can produce, the type of venom secreted, and the way of growth are determined after the reconstruction is completed, just like a preset program.However, when it is triggered and when it starts to "run", the mutant spider will issue specific instructions.If instructions are to be transmitted to the "reconstruction branch" over the air, other "transformation branches" are needed to assist.

Of course, these are only speculations by Xiang Kun based on the pictures of the memory fragments, which need to be further confirmed.

Just chewing on the grass was just trying to imitate the "transformation branch" of the mutant spider, but it obviously failed. He didn't seem to have mutated the corresponding abilities, or those abilities did not exist in the same way.

Although the main purpose of this trip has been accomplished, Xiang Kun did not leave the forest immediately.

He first picked up the arrow that had previously shot that did not hit the mutant spider, then went to retrieve the shoes near the cave of the mutant spider, then walked around in the cave, checked it carefully, and compared the memory of the mutant spider on the spot. Screen, anchoring specific memories.

After "eating" the mutant spider, his blood-drinking period was "refreshed" again, and he had 5X24 hours of complete time to consume.

So he spent two days in this mountain forest to test and inspect his mutations after drinking this blood, the improvement of various qualities, whether he gained any new abilities, and help him to control the mutation with the help of field comparisons. The spider’s memory is sorted, understood and interpreted.

Two days later, he embarked on the return journey, and it took more than a day to return to the place where the bow box was hidden.

When walking, climbing, and chasing through the forest, he was basically barefoot, so his shoes were still intact.However, the T-shirt that I wore into the mountain was torn after being sprayed with corrosive liquid, and the fragments were stuffed in my pants pocket.As for the overalls, although they are made of a more wear-resistant material, when entering the mountain, he basically used his body to open the way all the way, and the damage was serious. The corrosive liquid was also touched before, and the buttocks were broken. It looks dirty and broken.

Such an appearance, topless, wearing a pair of torn pants, if you return to the town, I am afraid it will be scary and leave a deep impression on people.

However, he considered this before he came, so he also brought a set of clothes in the bow box, as well as the jacket that he took off before. After changing it, he did not throw away the broken clothes that he changed, but kept it In the bow box-on the way back, he also took all his things, except for a ball left near the mutant spider cave to locate it when revisiting the old place in the future, all other things were taken away.

Before hearing the words of the two people who left after going to the Prado outside the hotel in town, Xiang Kun suspected that the "company" in their mouth might have some understanding of the existence of mutant creatures.Maybe they could find something after testing the samples taken out of the mountain and the dead boar, and then they sent people back to the mountain to investigate.

He didn't want to leave any traces on himself and let the other party track him down.

Xiang Kun was still the same as when he came, instead of stopping the car on the side of the road, he took a shortcut and walked back to the town.After washing his face with water from the public washbasin, after finishing his clothes, Xiang Kun went to find a beverage store, charged his mobile phone, and booked a ticket to go back.
