Xu Qinghe certainly didn't want to hurt him. His purpose of pushing him away was purely to protect him!
The moment he was pushed away, Xu Qinghe replaced him and appeared in the place where he had just stood.
A huge black shadow fell from the sky, bringing with it a terrifying pressure. Under the influence of gravity acceleration, it smashed straight into Xu Qinghe!
Although the incident happened suddenly, Xu Qinghe remained calm.
While knocking Chen Yan away, the high-frequency sword in his hand had been turned on to maximum power, and he slashed towards the black shadow above his head with swift movements!
Everything happened in an instant. It was not until this moment that Chen Yan finally confirmed that the huge black shadow that suddenly fell from above was not a falling rock or something like that, but a huge monster shaped like a tiger!
The interior space of this urban complex is quite spacious. Except for the solid first floor, the upper floors all have huge hollow areas.
That huge tiger-like creature should have jumped down from the top space along the hollow area!
There was no sound before he jumped down, so Chen Yan didn't notice it in advance!
Fortunately, Xu Qinghe had extremely rich combat experience and discovered the problem in time.
After knocking Chen Yan out of the danger zone in the first place, he was able to counterattack immediately!
“Ouch!!!”
The huge monster that fell down suddenly let out a scream.
The high-frequency sword in Xu Qinghe's hand clearly posed a fatal threat to the behemoth.
The killing was originally carried out as a hunting method, but the appearance of the high-frequency sword put the behemoth directly into a passive position.
While in mid-air, he twisted his body forcefully. Although he avoided being cut open by the high-frequency sword, a huge gap was cut in his right front paw by the high-frequency sword!
With a scream, the giant monster rolled over and landed three meters away from the team with a degree of flexibility that was completely inconsistent with its size.
While sticking out his tongue to lick his severely injured right front paw, he stared at the team members with scarlet pupils and great fear.
Chen Yan immediately returned to the team and paid close attention to the surrounding situation.
Not only in all directions, but also in the hollow area above the head!
The mutant creature that suddenly appeared before his eyes was at least two times larger than the tiger he had seen in the zoo.
Even without counting the tail, the body length should be more than four meters!
But compared to the tiger, Chen Yan always felt that the appearance of this mutant creature was a bit strange.
The contact lens did not show any information about this mutant creature, which was enough to prove that the people in the small group had never encountered a similar mutant creature before, so there was no corresponding record in the database of the smart bracelet.
"Judging from the intensity of its energy reaction, this feline mutant should be a second-level blood-sucking creature! However, whether it's a lion, tiger, leopard, or even an ordinary wildcat or housecat, after mutation, they are much more powerful than mutants of the same level! This one in front of me must have mutated from a tabby cat. But with its large size, I suspect it has mutated more than once!"
Xu Qinghe said in a deep voice.
Cihuamao? !
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and after taking another careful look at the huge creature three meters away, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he thought the other party's appearance was strange. It was just an enlarged version of the tabby cat!
But compared to the petite and cute standard cat, the mutated tabby cat in front of him is full of suffocating oppression!
"What does it mean to mutate more than once? Can mutant creatures mutate multiple times?"
Chen Yan asked with a frown.
Xu Qinghe stared at the mutant tabby cat and said, "It's not just us humans who can upgrade our awakening levels. In fact, zombies and mutant creatures can also complete their level evolution if they meet certain harsh conditions! Their levels are not fixed.
The way we humans raise our awakening levels is by increasing the unlocking of our genetic locks, while zombies and mutants raise their levels much more difficultly. However, this phenomenon is very rare, and we know very little about it, so we can only speculate whether it actually happens.
While the two were talking, the mutant tabby cat seemed to feel that the people in front of it were difficult to deal with. After licking its wounds for a while, it slowly began to retreat.
"Multiple mutations not only grant greater strength, but also increase brain capacity, the amount of neural tissue in the brain, and the folds of the cerebral cortex. Although the increase in brain power is generally very limited compared to strength, zombies and mutant creatures that have mutated multiple times will be significantly smarter than beings of the same level after being upgraded!"
Xu Qinghe held the high-frequency battle knife and explained while letting the mutant tabby cat slowly retreat, with no intention of stopping it.
Chen Yan asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't we try to capture it? Although it looks dangerous, the high-frequency sword is enough to kill it. Shouldn't we be able to defeat it by sieging it?"
Xu Qinghe shook his head solemnly and said, "I don't recommend doing this. Mutated cats are generally stronger than mutants from other families. Their agility, explosive power, reaction speed, and even hunting instincts are all top-notch in their class.
The five of us working together could certainly stop it, but if it fought hard, it would likely drag one or two of us down with it. When hunting, protecting ourselves is our top priority. Our goal is to capture prey while ensuring our own safety.
So when hunting, try not to target dangerous prey. The greater the reward, the greater the risk. However, this tabby cat can satisfy our need to attract the Quiet Whisperer. Perhaps we can try to capture it alive by setting a trap!"
Chen Yan knew that Xu Qinghe was teaching him some precautions about survival in the wasteland anytime and anywhere, so he listened very carefully.
However, after hearing Xu Qinghe's intention to try to capture the mutant tabby cat alive, Chen Yan instinctively froze for a moment and said, "Brother Xu, don't you think dealing with it might result in casualties? Isn't capturing it alive much more difficult than killing it? If even killing it might result in casualties, then wouldn't capturing it alive be even more dangerous?"
At this time, the mutant tabby cat had completely evacuated. Xu Qinghe stared at the direction the tabby cat fled and said in a deep voice, "We can go back and ask Master Fei for his advice. If Master Fei can make a useful trap, it won't be difficult to capture it alive. It will definitely be much safer than directly confronting it now."
There's no need to worry about it escaping. Cat mutants have a very strong sense of territory. Since this thing appeared here, it means this is its lair! Let's come back when we're ready!"
