Chapter 152 Cats?
The further into the mountains you go, the harder it is to walk on the road.
Plants grow wildly, covering the road surface tightly. From time to time, there are one or two mutant plants mixed in, stretching out vines to try to catch them.
But with Yun Shuhuai's energy sensing and Ye Zixu's dodder, no matter what mutant plants they are, they can't have any effect on them.
Ye Zixu manipulated the dodder to spread all over the sky and ground, and soon "ate" all the surrounding plants.
Mutated plants are a great supplement to his dodder, and "eating" more can also enhance the ability of dodder.
This is what Ye Zixu discovered slowly. The enhancement is very small each time, and only when "eating" enough can there be a significant improvement.
There was no one on the mountain, so they drove to an open space and parked. Ye Zixu held a ruby and began to release dodders.
The golden dodders spread around like a spider web.
If they encountered mutant plants or animals, they would immediately separate countless branches to capture and wrap them, and then kill them.
After all, this mountain was too dangerous. They were driving and could not run around.
It just so happened that Ye Zixu's dodders were like fish in water in this environment.
Ordinary dodders can survive by absorbing nutrients from plants, and mutant dodders have greatly enhanced this ability.
There are plants everywhere on the mountain, so Ye Zixu does not need to provide energy continuously. Dodder can also absorb nutrients from the surrounding plants, so that he can save energy and concentrate on spreading to farther places.
Yun Shuhuai also grabbed a handful of dodder. With her sensitive characteristics to energy, she can also feel the general situation of the scene where dodder has spread.
Now dodder has caught three mutant animals. I don’t know what kind of animals they are. They are not big. At the same time, they have "eaten" six mutant plants.
After Ye Zixu caught the mutant animals, dodder couldn’t wait to drill into the Seven Thresholds, kill them, and then drag them back bit by bit.
There were only two people controlling the process. Xi Qing and Ye Ziwan could not disturb them and could only lie on the seat and play with their phones.
Suddenly, Yun Shuhuai and Ye Zixu opened their eyes at the same time and their eyes met.
Yun Shuhuai asked, "What is that?"
"It looks like a big beast. It caught my prey and took it away. It's so fast that I lost it."
"What happened?" Xi Qing asked.
"Just now a mutant took our prey away. It's quite big and seems to be a speed type." Yun Shuhuai said, "It can break the vines that Xiaoxu strengthened. It seems to be quite powerful. It's at least level 4 or above."
Xi Qing was surprised and said, "Didn't we just kill a level 5 mutant python? Are there other high-level mutants here?"
Yun Shuhuai said, "It should be. After all, this is near the zoo. There are many wild animals. The python only lives by the river at the foot of the mountain. It is not ruled out that there are more difficult things in the mountain."
"Isn't it very dangerous here?"
Yun Shuhuai chuckled, "Are you scared? You remained calm in the face of so many zombies, so you won't be scared by just a few animals."
"It took me a long time to get used to zombies. Let me tell you, I'm actually very afraid of snakes. I was scared to death when the giant python swam past our car just now." As she spoke, Xi Qing rubbed the goose bumps on her arms.
"I don't know what's going on. Now I don't feel anything no matter how ugly a zombie is. But no matter how many times I see a snake, I still feel terrified. The horror of zombies is intuitive, but the slippery touch of snakes is really disgusting."
Yun Shuhuai smiled and said, "Is that so? If I had known earlier, I would have let you kill the python, and I would have recorded it on the side."
"That's too much. But if I were to kill it, I would only use my supernatural powers to chop it from a few dozen meters away and would never get close to it." Xi Qing added, "When I was a child, I was scared by a snake. The boy put the snake in my backpack. After school, I went home and threw the bag directly on the bed. When I was sleeping at night, the snake crawled out and wrapped around my neck. I had nightmares about being entangled by the snake all night, and when I woke up the next day, the nightmare came true. Do you know how that feels?"
Xi Qing became more and more crazy as she spoke, and she almost broke her phone.
"Fortunately, the snake is not poisonous, but I hate snakes from now on."
Yun Shuhuai patted her shoulder gently and laughed: "Don't worry, the world is different now. Humans and animals mutate together. We are high-level, and animals also have the tendency to seek benefits and avoid harm. As long as we don't hide our strength, they will not easily provoke us, because to them, we are more dangerous. We will leave after catching these animals. It's time to go to the next place."
An hour later, Ye Zixu finally stopped manipulating the plants. He was breathing heavily. Outside the car were the corpses of five mutated animals, two sheep, a horse and a rabbit, all of which were not small.
Yun Shuhuai opened the car door and put them in the space. Suddenly, she felt that something seemed to be staring at them.
She said to the people in the car, "Be careful, we seem to be targeted by wild animals."
Xi Qing asked alertly, "Can you sense it? Is it the wild animal just now?"
"No, it's farther away, and we're not sure what it is. But since Xiaoxu's dodder can't sense it, it must be... on the tree!" Yun Shuhuai just finished speaking, she stretched out her arm blade, and then swung it.
The huge crescent-shaped energy blade chopped in the direction of the line of sight.
"Boom!" A row of thick trees broke with a sound, and the treetops fell backwards.
Yun Shuhuai chopped at that location several times, and it was a mess. The cut branches were piled up in all directions. The mutant seemed to be trapped under the branches, but it was unknown whether it was dead or not.
Then, she took out her pistol, ready to completely eliminate the threat in front of her with one shot.
But before pulling the trigger, she heard a soft sound: "Meow~"
Meow?
Yun Shuhuai tilted her head. Because she raised Guo Baorou, she has always had a good impression of cats. Hearing this sound, she subconsciously stopped.
"Meow~Meow~"
The animal under the branch meowed, the sound was very thin and soft, and it seemed to be very scared.
Yun Shuhuai was about to go over to take a look, but was stopped by Xi Qing, "Wait, aren't you afraid it's a trap? These mutant animals are very cunning."
Yun Shuhuai thanked her for her kindness and said, "Don't worry, I have an energy shield."
But Xi Qing was still worried, so she took out her gun and loaded it with energy bullets, ready to shoot if she saw something was not right.
Yun Shuhuai walked over and after reaching the sensing range, he could sense what was underneath. It was indeed a big cat, about the same size as a piece of pork in a pot, but no one knew what breed it was.
It lay shivering under the branch, and its legs seemed to be injured.
Yun Shuhuai used physical gymnastics to move the tree trunk away, and then saw a big cat with black spots all over its body lying underneath, looking at her pitifully.
