Miranda had been paying close attention to Wu Qi's actions. She saw Wu Qi's behavior and eyes changed a lot after he touched a coniferous tree. His eyes when looking at the dense forest changed from being steady and wary to being aggressive and yearning.
Miranda guessed that Wu Qi was once like the black man Du En, a hunter who wandered in the mountains and forests. As she thought about it, she suddenly became aware of Wu Qi's puzzling and unusual behaviors.
"No wonder that guy is so persistent in exploring the forest. It turns out that he is good at exploring in the Zhitou Realm." Miranda cursed, and Wu Qi was filled with contempt in his heart, and he felt an indescribable chill. .
The group of people groped forward, Wu Qi focused on the footprints on the ground. He pushed aside a bush, and a huge bear footprint appeared on the ground behind the bush.
Black wind giant bear
Wu Qi made a tactical leg movement of moving forward quietly, and Chris quickly became red and moved forward quietly. Miranda looked left and right, and it took her two seconds to realize what she meant, so she followed.
Wu Qi followed the direction of the giant bear's footprints, concentrated and extended the distance of the sensory network, and moved forward. He slowly discovered the second, third, and a series of giant bear footprints. Those footprints are not asymmetrical, there are obvious signs of erasure.
Wu Qi acted more cautiously. They passed through the winding dense forest and saw a lime-gray cave.
The outer wall of the cave is about 5 meters high, which is enough for a giant bear to pass upright. Wu Qi slowly approached the entrance of the cave, using his sense of smell and hearing to their full potential.
He heard the sound of dozens of flies flying around, and the strong smell of rancid liquid. Other than that there was no sound or smell.
Wu Qicuo, Chris and Miranda made a tactical stand-by stance and sneaked out of the cave to explore alone. The surrounding light was dimming from east to west, and Wu Qi's eyes could see clearly in dimly lit areas. His obsidian-like eyes moved flexibly, reflecting a strange light.
He used the newly evolved heat-sensing nerve membrane to convert visual fluid into a field of infrared vision. All objects containing heat in the dark cave will be marked with patterns of different colors in the field of vision. Although the solid rock wall cannot be seen through, it can help him quickly determine whether the injured giant bear is dead or alive.
A second later, Wu Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he saw the giant bear lying on the ground. The body of the giant bear was reflected in his thermal vision. The whole body was completely gray, and there was no trace of orange-red or bright yellow warm colors. Its body temperature was completely cold and it had been dead for a long time.
Wu Qi took a closer look, and the swarm of carrion flies flying above the giant bear's body immediately swarmed towards Wu Qi. Their compound eyes were locked on Wu Qi's face, and their transparent fly wings were vibrating at high speed. Qi showed off his sharp mutated mouthparts, trying to drive Wu Qi away from their food.
Facing the troublesome insect plague species, Wu Qi had already prepared preventive measures.
He passed his uniform belt with his left leg and took out a cylindrical object that looked like a lighter and had a small wire cage on its head. He pressed the ignition switch, and a bright flame jumped into the bottom of the wire cage and penetrated it.
Wu Qi took a few steps back, and the special scent of liquid sedge floated out from the small steel wire cage. It was a scent that mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and other pests were naturally disgusted with.
A wisp of tobacco emerged from the small steel wire cage. Wu Qi held the lighter and waved it. The tobacco drew a semi-arc in the air and spread, forcing a group of carrion flies to escape from the cave.
The small steel wire cage contains "Atractylodes", which is the dry rhizome of "Atractylodes". Atractylodes atractylodes is a plant of the Asteraceae family, with slender red petals and orange stamens. It mostly grows in the colder climate of northern China and in the east of mixed coniferous and broad-coniferous forests. Wu Qi saw beautiful clumps of Acanthus many times while patrolling the mountains. Thinking of the knowledge taught by Sister Ruorong, he picked their rhizomes and made a "fire machine to avoid insects."
With Atractylodes mutated on one side and flies mutated on the other, the effect of the burning smell of Atractylodes is as outstanding as when neither mutated.
After driving away the carrion flies, Wu Qi approached the giant bear's body and crouched down to carefully examine its wounds.
The giant bear's coat is dark in color, and the hair all over its body is burned and curled to varying degrees. There are two scars on the side of the torso that are dozens of centimeters long, left by electromagnetic rifle bullets, and there are long and narrow knife gaps. Wu Qi took the wrong photos one by one, and the wounds were all consistent with the black wind giant bear he had fought with.
The identity of the giant bear corpse has become clear. The black wind giant bear that escaped back then is not dead after all. The reality was somewhat different from Wu Qi's expectation. He thought that the vitality of the plague species would be stronger.
At that time, Wu Qi inspected a wound that he had never seen before. The wound was located on the east side of the giant bear's neck, and there were no marks caused by sharp teeth biting into it. Because the giant bear died in a posture with its lower jaw lowered, he never noticed it until he touched some dried blood with his leg fingers.
Wu Qi immediately lifted the giant bear's neck, and after careful observation, he was surprised to find that there were teeth marks left by a terrifying wolf!
There are no other wounds on the giant bear's body. It must have been hunted by a pack of wolves before it was exhausted and struck by a single blow. Wu Qi checked the giant bear's claws again. There were sporadic dried blood stains on the claws.
The claws of the giant bear are steel claws with smooth blades and sharp blades. If they scratch other creatures, they will not leave any scraps of meat or the like. The presence of blood stains can roughly prove the fact.
Wu Qi ended his reasoning based on the existing information, and finally pressed his legs on the giant bear's head, and his consciousness went deep into the "deep sea" where life information flows, opening the door to the black wind giant bear's genetic chain.
The giant bear's gene chain was indeed as he had expected. It carried five second-level powers, including strange strength, super-speed movement, steel claws, poison, and black wind. Most of the fragments had been broken, and the elements that constituted the powers had been lost. Keli.
The body of the giant bear is very mixed with a part of the isovirus. Those isoviruses are "invaders", much like the dire wolf Liudong who bit the giant bear's throat.
Wu Qi tried to touch the dried blood on the giant bear's steel claws and commented that the dried blood had become an "object" rather than a part of life. The revelation of the wilderness god could not prevent it from working.
A series of pictures appeared in Wu Qi's mind. A dire wolf attacked and seriously injured the Black Wind Giant Bear. After biting its throat, the Black Wind Giant Bear knocked him away with a claw. After landing on the ground, it was not seriously injured and ran away quickly; the Black Wind Giant Bear was physically exhausted at this time and could not use it. "Black Wind" chased the attacker. He was limping, but he wiped out his footprints and returned to his cave. He died of his injuries.
The black wind giant bear is the best among the second-level plague species. Not only does it possess five second-level powers, it has also evolved considerable wisdom, and uses its wisdom in survival and combination of powers. Its gene chain is very long, and the evolved parts are strong and powerful; it had the opportunity to further evolve to the third level, but it failed to survive that life and death disaster.
When the strong fight, if one party dies in battle, it will become a stepping stone for the evolution of the other party, but there is also the possibility of being missed by the weak. No matter whether the strength of that dire wolf is much different from that of the black wind giant bear, it should have drank the carotid blood of the black wind giant bear and absorbed the alien virus it possesses!
