"This is a typical hunting method used by cat demons. They hang the prey that they cannot finish eating in the air." Jet said, "This way, they can prevent the prey from being stolen to the greatest extent possible. At the same time, the mosquitoes and flies attracted by the prey's corpse the next day are also on the cat demon's menu, and they think it is a delicious snack."

After Du Yuqi calmed down, he walked forward and carefully examined the body, then frowned and said:

"That's right. This bloodthirsty cat demon is the one I fought with yesterday. I remember very clearly that the wound on its body was caused by me."

Jeter pointed to the bushes beside him and said in a deep voice:

"Boss, come and look over here."

Jet brought Du Yuqi to the bushes nearby. They could see that the place was very messy, with obvious signs of fallen grass and trees. It was obvious that there had been a fight. If they looked closely, they could find that although the ground was very messy and scattered, there were still many traces left. If nothing unexpected happened, this was the scene of a hunt.

Then Du Yuqi found that the ground in front of him was very muddy and wet, so a deep footprint was left on the wet mud. The footprint was as big as a bowl and very clear, like a plum blossom, but for some reason there was a small piece missing in the lower right corner.

He immediately thought of the body of the bloodthirsty cat demon he had just seen. The claws of the hunted bloodthirsty cat demon were obviously much smaller than this footprint, which means that the owner of this footprint must be of astonishing size. Putting these clues together, Du Yuqi immediately looked at Jet with an inquiring look and said:

"Is it the mutated bloodthirsty cat demon we encountered in the depths of Loran?"

Jeter said:

"Yes, I have observed its footprints before. This guy's claws must have been injured, so it is reflected in the footprints."

Du Yuqi took a deep breath and said:

"So that means it has actually been following us all along?"

Jett nodded and said:

"That's probably the case!"

Du Yuqi suddenly said:

"I remember that cat demons don't seem to hunt their own kind for food unless they are mad or poisoned."

Jeter said:

“There is such a rule.”

Du Yuqi pondered and said:

"If that's the case, then the bloodthirsty cat demon now seems to be a rational social creature, and it should also maintain this habit. However, this mutated bloodthirsty cat demon first roamed alone in a place like the depths of Loran, and then hunted and preyed on its own. Could it be that it was expelled from the tribe, or was it the loser in the competition for tribal leadership?"

After listening to Du Yuqi's analysis, Jet said:

"That's really possible. The mutant bloodthirsty cat demon had a very tragic wound on its body, which was deep into its internal organs. It was very lucky to be able to survive such a wound. After experiencing such a life-and-death situation, even a wild beast would definitely change its temperament!"

Du Yuqi thought about it and suddenly said:

"It seems that the intelligence of cat demons fluctuates greatly, and it feels quite uneven? I feel that the cat demon tribe over there is like this. Old White Hair can even be described as a wise man among humans, but many cat demons are similar to wild beasts and can only communicate in simple ways."

Jeter said:

"It's like this. Among the cat demons, the fluorescent cat demons and the gardener Ruel are very intelligent and can even learn spells. The intelligence of the other cat demon races is relatively lower, but it's not absolute. Even among the other cat demon races, the intelligence of each tribal leader and backbone is definitely not low. Similar to humans, they can even give themselves names."

"Generally speaking, the cat demon tribe is actually the same as our goblin tribe. The intelligence of the tribe members fluctuates greatly. Some are so low that they can only act on instinct, understand gestures, and understand some simple words, but some are no different from humans."

Du Yuqi nodded, but this time he spoke to himself:

"I wonder how smart this mutated bloodthirsty cat demon is..."

…

The three of them looked around for a while and then turned around and went back.

Holmes had always taken advantage of the delay to clean up the camp, so the three of them could set off as soon as they came back. Since the matter of the mutation capsule had been resolved, the next step was naturally to go to the place where the chip might appear.

According to records, the main purpose of this chip is to be implanted into the body of a modified organism, where it plays an auxiliary role, allowing the organism to more conveniently control the modified body, making the attacks launched more precise and the power utilization more efficient.

For example, if a person wants to become a sharpshooter who never misses a shot, he must go through a lot of hard training. However, after the biochip is implanted, it is equivalent to skipping this step and achieving success directly with the assistance of the biochip.

Of course, the capabilities of biochips are more than that. To put it more intuitively, it can be understood as a high-end version of a car computer.

This kind of biochip is not easy to make, so it will not be used on every mutant creature. Only those mutant creatures that are considered to be powerful can be implanted with biochips, and they will become more powerful after implantation. For example, the leader-level monster Bull-Head Mechanical King here must have a biochip in his body.

This seemed to mean that in order to get the chip, one had to fight the powerful BOSS-level mutant creatures in the Imperial Test Field! And during the battle, one had to be careful not to destroy the biochip, otherwise the purpose of getting the chip would be in vain.

This understanding is not wrong, but after all, biochips came first and then powerful mutant creatures. According to the investigation of some people, at the Bilmark Empire test site, there were some abandoned laboratories used as modulation areas, which had stocks of biochips.

Therefore, there is another way, which is to sneak into the abandoned laboratory and search carefully, and naturally there is a great chance to get the biochip! Doing this will definitely not require facing those powerful BOSS-level mutant creatures directly, and the risk is naturally much smaller. Du Yuqi and his team also chose this method. At this time, the map they got also marked the locations of the four abandoned laboratories.

Of course, there is another concern: the Bilmark Empire test site has been abandoned for so many years, and a large number of adventurers have come in and out of it. Although many died, many also got out alive. Are there still biological chips in these abandoned laboratories?

This doubt was also raised by Du Yuqi at the time, but after he said it, Holmes told him with certainty: Yes!

Because almost everyone who comes to the Bilmark Empire test site comes for the Terra Stone produced there. There are very few people who come for the biochips. And strictly speaking, the difficulty of obtaining biochips is not much less than that of obtaining Terra Stone.

Although biochips are rare, their value is less than half of that of Terra Stone. More importantly, once taken out, biochips actually have a shelf life of about one month. If they are not re-implanted after that time, they will be directly damaged.

Therefore, although this thing seems very important, few people need it, and the risk is not small! Everyone has a scale in their heart, and after calculating in their hearts, they will definitely go for the Terra Stone.

Therefore, according to Holmes' judgment, if these four abandoned laboratories are searched, the probability of finding the biochip will be more than 90%.

The next laboratory they were going to was 13 kilometers upstream of the river, and only about one kilometer away from the river. The risk of going there was the smallest, so they would definitely go here first. After all, there was a possibility of biochips appearing here. If they found them, the risk would be the lowest.

At this time, when everyone was on their way, a drizzle started to fall from the sky. This was actually very unfavorable for the next action. Why do I say that?

First, after the rain wet the ground, the muddy ground is definitely not conducive to traveling, but rather facilitates enemy tracking.

Second, the rain can be called rain threads, but they are very fine, and they make a rustling sound when they fall on the leaves. When the sounds gather together, if there are any enemies hiding and moving in the jungle, they will often be covered up by the sound of rain.
