Chapter 108
"What did you say?"
As soon as Luo Sui said this with some surprise, he immediately called Captain Dai and others over, who were just disappointed and started thinking about how to make a complete capture plan next time.
"I feel like the lock I cast earlier didn't miss. It might not have landed right on that thing's head, but it definitely landed on its body!"
Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Luo Sui nodded affirmatively.
"My ability now indicates it's heading up the mountain. It must have run away because it saw that we were outnumbered and its own attack power was definitely insufficient."
Luo Sui said this, facing the direction of his ability group, his eyes shining.
Although this was not the first time he faced such a mutant creature that had never appeared before, it was the first time he encountered a mutant with low attack power but very sensitive in other aspects.
And it's a surprise that comes after disappointment, so it's normal to have some expectations.
"Once we've determined the direction, we'll chase it in that direction, lest it realizes it's the wrong way and throws us off."
When Captain Dai heard that the thing was heading towards the mountain, he couldn't help but feel worried when he thought that there were many ordinary people on the mountain.
But just as the worry arose, he thought of the person in Daxi Village and calmed down again.
It would have been fine if the thing that went up the mountain hadn't attacked the ordinary people on the mountain. The godmother didn't like to attack the mutant creatures on the mountain casually and had a very good temper.
But if you attack the humans on the mountain who have no ability to resist and are still under the protection of the godmother, the only reason you are not beaten to death is that the godmother has a really gentle temper.
This is indeed the case. The further the mutant creatures slowly move up the mountain, the more they feel something is wrong.
There seemed to be a huge mutant creature on the mountain. The strength of that mutant creature was obviously beyond its cognition. It hadn't even entered its territory yet, but just by sensing it from afar, it could still be intimidated by its strength and pressure.
Thinking about how he had run up from the bottom of the mountain, the reason he ran was simply to preserve his strength so that he could continue to cause trouble later.
If it is not allowed to cause trouble here, it will go to another place. Anyway, there are so many humans on this land, and so many people have died due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. As long as it feels resentful, it can continue to amplify those subtle emotions.
"I can't go any further. Just walking in this direction is painful."
Halfway through the journey, the mutant creature suddenly stopped and prepared to change direction before continuing.
If it wasn't chasing humans and wanted to confuse the direction of their pursuit, it wouldn't have come in this direction.
If it takes a wrong turn and provokes a powerful mutant creature, it will be tantamount to seeking death for it now.
I think that walking to this position is enough to confuse the humans at the foot of the mountain.
The mutant creature is very confident that those humans are not very smart. This conclusion it came to after causing trouble in the town at the foot of the mountain these days.
If the team that suddenly appeared hadn't found it, it could have continued playing at the foot of the mountain for a while.
Thinking of this, the mutant creature curled its lips, turned its head to look in the direction of its tail, swung its tail, and its eyes flashed. The small ball of power that was previously attached to the tip of its tail instantly fell down along with the tip of its tail.
"Tsk, don't do that next time. If you do that a few more times, the tip of your tail will become bald."
The mutant creature muttered to itself for a while, and after confirming that it did not have the positioning ability that Luo Sui had created, it turned and headed towards the back of the mountain.
It saw that as long as it could go around the mountain, there would be an urban area inhabited by humans behind the mountain. The people over there would be fun to watch, and while the people behind it were catching up, it could still play for a while before running away.
Thinking of this, the mutant creature grinned with joy, and took two steps at a time, preparing to go around the mountain that made it a little afraid and go behind the mountain.
The group of people who were chasing the mutant creature up the mountain were originally happy, thinking that they could capture it as long as they caught up with it.
Unexpectedly, they had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and had not yet waited to climb the mountain when they heard Luo Sui's somewhat conflicted words.
"That mutant creature seems to be motionless. It's halfway up the mountain. Is there something wrong?"
After all, Luo Sui and his team have been on the front line dealing with mutant creatures for a long time. They know that the IQ of some mutant creatures will increase after mutation, and some are even higher than the IQ of some humans with less brains. It is entirely possible that they can fool people.
What Luo Sui is worried about now is that the mutant creature was able to cause trouble in the town before they arrived and was not discovered by anyone, which shows that its IQ is obviously very high.
In this case, it is not impossible that there will be a mutant creature with an IQ so high that it can fool them.
"Maybe he was caught by the godmother on the mountain, so he didn't move any further?"
Hearing Luo Sui's negative thoughts, even though he knew it was just a premonition from the other party, he should ignore the premonition at this time. The most important thing is to catch up first, right?
"Let's go, first go up to where it stopped and take a look. If that doesn't work, go up the mountain to ask for help. Ask my old man if he has any divinations recently."
Captain Dai listened to everything Luo Sui said, lowered his brows and thought for a while, and felt that what Luo Sui thought was not impossible, but their current position was rather passive, and they could only be forced to chase to get some clues.
Because one idea gave up all the clues, which is impossible.
"Captain, hasn't your grandfather been in close contact with the Taoist teacher up there recently? Why don't you ask him to help ask the teacher about this sudden appearance of mutant creatures? The teacher should be able to guess some way to restrain them, right?"
Seeing that his group might not be able to catch up with the mutant creature for a while, Tang Ji became a little anxious. After hearing his captain talk about their old man, he couldn't help but think about it.
"The teacher has been quite busy lately. I heard that he brought out a group of students he had, and now he's following the kid from Team Three."
Captain Dai said this, and although he did not explicitly object to Tang Ji's words, the meaning of his words was expressed.
The Taoist priest has to help take care of the children, so he probably doesn't have time to study these things.
Instead of waiting for the Taoist priest to come and do the research, it would be better for them to collect the materials themselves and hand them over to the research institute so that they can help with the research.
The group was discussing with each other, but their bodies did not choose to slack off because of the frantic work of their mouths and brains.
While thinking of ways and discussing various possibilities, everyone headed towards the mountain.
They would never forget that what they wanted to do from the very beginning was to chase the mutant creature. Even though they now anticipated that the mutant creature might have thrown away the ability positioning given by Luo Sui for some reason, it did not prevent them from thinking of checking it out in person after reaching the destination.
They won't be satisfied until they see the final result.
But when they actually saw the result, everyone fell silent.
"I never thought that ghost things could be so cunning!"
After searching for a long time at the place Luo Sui mentioned, they finally found a small tuft of short hair there.
There wasn't even a hair left, and it was obvious that the other party wanted to throw off Luo Sui's ability without even breaking a hair.
"That's a bit tricky."
Captain Dai sighed.
I watched Zhuang Dun carefully take out the sampling bag from the space and collect the hair. Obviously, he collected these things in preparation for handing them over to the Mutant Biology Research Institute for research after returning.
They had been chasing that thing for so long but hadn't even seen its appearance. Finally, they saw this tuft of broken hair. They had no choice but to give it to the research institute for study.
Perhaps even after others figure it out, their team may not be able to complete the task.
"This thing is incredibly fast, and with its intelligence, it's particularly good at hiding. We didn't catch it, so it's normal that we found it."
The deputy captain spoke to comfort everyone.
Because he was afraid that his ability would be too overbearing and would destroy all the clues left behind, the deputy captain had not taken any action when they were looking for things left behind by the mutant creature. He just watched from the side. Only when he saw that everything that could be found had been found did he speak.
"Let's go. Since we're already up the mountain, let's go back home and ask my old man something."
The clue was visibly broken temporarily, but Captain Dai was not discouraged. After a brief silence, he led everyone to continue up the mountain.
The mutant creature that was running wildly around the foot of the mountain on the edge of the mountain sensed the hairy remains it had left behind and knew that those humans had caught up with it. It raised its head in triumph while running.
Those humans are numerous and their combined attack capabilities are strong. What can it do if it can't deal with them alone? Now it has been fooled by them.
The mutant wanted to laugh when he imagined the possible expressions of those humans when they saw the souvenirs it left behind.
After gloating for a while, the mutant creature did not stop moving. It was about to go around the mountain and reach the mountains behind. It would completely leave these people behind.
Unfortunately, things did not go as it wished. Just when it was feeling relaxed, a giant black python jumped out from the corner and wrapped itself tightly around the mutant creature as soon as it touched its body.
During this period of time, Guoshanfeng has been consuming the resources he brought from the new mountain range behind the mountain. Although his strength has increased, he still cannot change his habits and thinks of looking for food in the surrounding area every once in a while.
If you don't fill your stomach with food, you will feel hungry even if you put resources in your stomach.
The reason why it came down the mountain this time and attacked the mutant creature directly was purely because it was hunting nearby.
When the mutant creature used its own ability to shake off the power locked on the tip of its tail, it also exposed its own power fluctuations, which were noticed by the sensitive Guo Shanfeng.
Following it all the way, they finally launched an attack when the mutant creature relaxed its vigilance.
“Ahhhhhhh…”
If anyone is caught off guard and gets entangled, the mutant creature will scream at the top of its lungs.
I felt the force of the snake's body constantly wrapping around me, and I felt like I was about to be squeezed to death.
After the initial panic passed, it realized that the other party just wanted to strangle it to death and then eat it. Its life was still there for the time being, so it calmed down a little.
After calming down, it felt something was wrong.
"No, how did you see me?!"
It stayed in the town for such a long time, and so many people with special abilities in the town didn't notice it. If its own abilities only didn't work on mutant beasts, there would be mutant beasts in the town that were domesticated and mutated and didn't want to leave, and those didn't notice it either!
I can't figure it out. If it doesn't get to the bottom of it, it will become an unjustly killed ghost.
Guo Shanfeng ignored it and just kept pestering it, ready to strangle it to death with all his might and then fill his stomach to keep himself full for the time being.
This mutant creature doesn't look like it's originally from the mountain. It came down from the mountain and was chased up by humans. It might not be a good thing. It's not a little brother who has passed the mountain, so it doesn't care about this.
As for why Guo Shanfeng didn’t answer the mutant creature’s question?
After all, he is about to be hanged, so he might as well be a clear-headed ghost.
But is Guo Shanfeng such a kind snake? According to the ghost stories told by the village children to his family, Xiao Hei, the villain died because of his excessive talk.
To Guo Shanfeng, this mutant creature is now a villain. It is confident that this mutant creature does not have the attack power to kill it.
But if this gave the mutant creatures some breathing time and allowed them to find a way to escape, Guo Shanfeng felt that he must be crazy to do such a thing.
Seeing that this mutant snake was not prepared to waste time talking to him and was ready to kill him directly without any intention of easing up, the mutant creature became a little anxious.
"I'm telling you, I'm not tasty. I wouldn't have run away in the first place. Now I look like a mutant animal after the mutation, but I'm not. I don't taste good at all! Really!"
As it spoke, it transformed a part of its body into its original form for Guo Shanfeng to see.
Guo Shanfeng looked at the mutant creature's original form and gave up the idea of swallowing it.
This thing doesn't look like it's edible right now...
"What the hell are you?"
Although he had some doubts about whether this thing was edible, he did not let it go before crossing the mountain until he found out.
"I was originally a hamster in a hamster machine at a small amusement park in town. After the cosmic changes, I gained some consciousness. The actual transformation was completed recently."
It looked like the mountain didn't seem to plan to eat it anymore, and although it didn't intend to let it go, as long as it was still alive, it would find a way to escape.
Although it is not a normal living being and is only a part of a toy, it cannot guarantee that it can be pulled out intact by the big snake after being eaten.
For mutated creatures after mutation, who stipulated that they can only digest the body but not the consciousness?
What's more, it cannot guarantee that after it enters someone's stomach, its body will be fine, but its spiritual energy and consciousness will be digested.
Since I have never tried it before, I can't guarantee it, so I can only be careful not to take any risks.
After talking for a long time, Guo Shanfeng's eyes told him that this ghost thing was a rat that had turned into a spirit. It was not very tasty in itself. But he thought in his heart that since this thing could run all over the mountain and even lead humans around, it should be edible.
No matter whether it is edible or not, try it first!
Guo Shanfeng hesitated for a few seconds, and then swallowed the mouse without caring whether it was dead or not.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!…You have no moral principles!”
Watching himself being sent to the snake's mouth, the rat wailed, and after saying this, his whole body turned back to its original form.
"How strange, this leather mouse doesn't look like a mouse."
After passing the mountain peak, it bit into a piece of cotton, and the dry touch made it lose its last bit of appetite.
He spat out the skinned mouse silently and saw it fall to the ground motionless, obviously ready to shrink like this.
I stretched out the tip of its tail and poked it twice. It seemed that this naughty mouse was ready to play dead.
There was no way. Even if he was crossing a mountain, he couldn't swallow cotton like that. He stopped and thought for a while, then he remembered that his little Hei and his current owner still needed toys to play with.
The tip of its tail circled the naughty mouse. At this time, it had no time to look for food while crossing the mountain. It swam straight towards Daxi Village, ready to bring toys to its cubs.
The rat, who had been relieved for escaping danger by pretending to be dead, turned around and realized that he was heading straight towards the place he was afraid of and didn't even dare to pass by.
If it wasn't pretending to be dead and unable to make any sound, it would probably scream again.
What is the cruelest thing in the world?
I thought I had escaped, but for some inexplicable reason, I was sent back to the starting point step by step.
Just like now, as it swam forward over the mountain, the skin mouse could clearly sense that it was getting closer and closer to the ball of tail hair it had left behind.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, your mom gave you a toy. It looks like a groundhog doll!"
Just as we were about to reach the entrance of Daxi Village, we crossed the mountain and ran into Shi Tou, who was playing out of the village with the children, and the black, shiny Xiao Hei on his wrist.
"A groundhog doll? Let me see...let me see...Wow!!!"
After Shitou finished speaking, the children nearby also came over and looked at the leather mouse that was circled by Guoshanfeng's tail tip. The children were a little surprised.
It’s not that they don’t have toys. Although these children are naughty on weekdays and are beaten and scolded by their parents, they are also spoiled and basically have all the toys they want.
Ever since the world's spiritual energy revived and the animals and plants mutated, the adults have been worrying every day about how to work in the fields and how to manage the mutated crops.
The main reason for those who are able to go down the mountain is to get daily necessities, while the villagers who are not able to do so basically stay in the village and never go out.
In this situation, the children really haven't received new toys for a long time.
Suddenly, the parents of one of my friends brought some toys that they had never played with before. All the children turned into little frogs and croaked non-stop.
