Chapter 133: Fourth-Order Mutant Beast
"Captain, who is this mutant pig?"
Everyone gathered around, but when they saw that the mutant pig was covered with fist-sized ants, no one dared to approach. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎
"It should be the third-level mutant beast that narrowly survived the explosion yesterday, but it still didn't make it through. Let's just wait and see."
After that, Lin Qi drew his bow and shot an arrow, hitting a mutant bird next time.
Most of these mutated birds were first-order and were of little value to Lin Qi, but to them, they were exactly what they needed.
As the first-order gene crystals were taken out one by one, everyone became excited.
The number of mutated birds hovering in the sky is gradually increasing. If they are all shot down, it will be a big income.
In addition to dogs and cats, the rest in the city are mutated rats, and some are former domestic pets and livestock that escaped from surrounding villages.
But the most common ones are the mutated birds flying in the air. However, in this season, there are only a few types of resident birds.
Sun Tao ran the errand very quickly. Without waiting for anyone to react, he ran out with the wind at his feet to retrieve the prey, and even wiped Lin Qi's arrow clean.
"Well done, I'll give this one to you."
A first-order mutated magpie was already quite large in size. Lin Qi pulled a few feathers and stuffed them into his quiver before throwing them to Sun Tao.
This kid seems to have a kind of blind worship for himself, and it seems that he can easily seduce An Xin.
More than a dozen people simply sat beside the ruins and stopped searching other places, watching Lin Qi's exquisite archery skills.
"I have never seen anyone practice bow and arrow to this extent."
Shi Chenguang might be able to hit a fixed target at this distance, but he was really not sure about a fast-moving target like a bird, and it seemed that Lin Qi was able to hit it with ease every time, without even taking time to aim.
It's simply an art of doing whatever you want.
"Captain, a second-level mutant beast is coming!"
Wu Lianhe, who had been vigilant from high up, suddenly spoke. He did not relax his vigilance, but was constantly observing the surroundings. The ruins were already covered with dust. If there was any abnormal movement, he could clearly observe it, so the bird As soon as the mutated beast approached, the dust stirred up caught his attention.
"Keep it close so that you don't have to worry about carrying the body."
Lin Qi said hello and signaled Wu Lian and not to disturb each other. The ruins that everyone was hiding happened to be a collapsed house with walls around it.
Therefore, if you hide, ordinary mutant beasts will not be able to detect it at all, and the smell of blood from the nearby mutant pig will completely cover up the smell of several people.
The corpse of a third-level mutant beast was extremely attractive to lower-level mutant beasts. This second-level mutant beast smelled the smell of blood from a distance and pursued it all the way.
When it felt that the smell was getting stronger and stronger, its eyes became more and more excited.
When he saw the corpse lying on the ground, he couldn't wait to speed up his pace. However, the aura emanating from the ant colony forced him to stop.
"Is it a fox?"
In front of him was a yellow-furred fox with a slender body, more than three meters long. Its limbs looked like they were wearing black shoes, and they stepped gracefully on the ruins.
The long and narrow fox eyes flashed with spiritual light from time to time, revealing a sense of shrewdness.
"There are actually foxes in this place?"
Lin Qike had never seen such a beast in the city, but when he thought that there were still many wild animals living in the mountains in some scenic spots, they must have escaped from the mountains.
The fox's sense of smell is very keen. When it gets close to a certain distance, its nose suddenly moves a few times, as if it smells different smells.
It made him hesitate for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.
But suddenly there was another movement, making it turn its head to look.
I saw a big bird slowly falling from the sky, and its steps were a little unsteady when it landed.
This big bird has bright feathers all over its body, almost colorful. Its thick and powerful claws step on the steel bars of the ruins. When its wings flap, it stirs up dust within a dozen meters around it!
"Second-order big cock!"
It's another second-level mutant beast, and it's also a familiar big rooster!
There was clearly a trace of salivation in the mutant fox's eyes. Compared with the hard-to-gnaw meat of the third-level mutant pig, it preferred chickens, which were birds with a hint of coquettishness.
The big mutant rooster's wings were already three meters wide. He flapped his wings and flew down, landing directly near the mutant white pig. He picked up an ant in one bite and swallowed it into his mouth.
"Two second-level ones, it seems that the harvest this time is not small!"
Lin Qi took out two arrows and was about to take aim.
"If you don't let me deal with the other one, I'm 60% sure of killing it with one hit!"
Shi Chenguang slowly took aim with his sniper rifle. Although the second-level mutant beast was special, it was still a mortal body after all. A sniper bullet was enough to kill its head.
"No need, your gun makes too much noise. If it alerts the nearby mutant beasts, they may not dare to come."
Lin Qi waved his hand to signal everyone not to be impulsive. He placed two arrows on his bow and aimed them horizontally in two directions.
The bow string was pulled open, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh. Everyone's eyes quickly switched between the two arrows. No one thought that they would hit two second-level mutant beasts hundreds of meters away at the same time.
If they were together, that would be fine, but there was a mountain-like corpse between them, and one of them was still hidden in the ruins, with only its head exposed.
However, this suspicion only emerged in his mind, and he saw the two arrows inserted into the heads of the two mutant beasts.
The mutant fox seemed to have retracted its head, but the arrow seemed to be locked and shot straight into the ruins.
"Go pick up prey."
Lin Qi put down the bow and lay on the Simmons bed again, watching the mutant birds flying in the sky from time to time.
Sun Tao first ran quickly to the corpse of the third-level mutant pig and dragged the mutant rooster back. Although this big rooster looked bigger, it actually weighed less. After all, the feathers of birds accounted for one-third of their body size.
Then several people came to the other side and worked together to drag the mutant fox over.
"Lin Qi, the genetic crystal of this third-level mutant beast..."
An Xin looked at Lin Qi with expectation. The genetic crystal of the third-level mutant beast was very precious, and she didn't want to give up.
"Oh, that pig, I checked it when I came here, it has been eaten by ants."
Even if he said he took it, An Xin didn't dare to ask for it again, but Lin Qi still felt that there was no need to make trouble.
He broke the heads of the two second-level mutant beasts and put the two second-level gene crystals directly into his pocket, ignoring An Xin's eager eyes.
After all, when they came, everyone had already agreed that the mutant beasts hunted by Lin Qi belonged to him.
"Don't waste this fur, go back and make a fox fur coat, which is warm and strong."
Seeing An Xin was depressed, Lin Qi threw the fox's body over to her as some compensation.
Everyone stayed in place for a while, and An Xin couldn't help but start to grab monsters. She called several team members over to discuss the plan of hunting mutant beasts.
Until noon, a steady stream of mutant beasts appeared, but after being disrupted by An Xin and his group, the mutant beasts nearby seemed to have noticed the danger here and avoided this area.
"It's almost done, Su Yu, burn the bodies of these mutant beasts, roast the chicken a little more, and let everyone have a taste."
It has been a long time since the mutant beasts appeared. At this time, many mutant rats have crawled out from under the ruins and competed with the ants for the beast meat.
The appearance of two social species will soon devour this large mutant beast. At that time, it is better to burn it directly than to let them get away with it.
Su Yu seemed to be the protagonist for a while. He quickly stepped forward to take off the device on his back, and a special liquid was sprayed on the pile of mutant beast corpses.
A ball of flame condensed from his palm and was thrown directly on the pile of corpses.
The next second, the flame soared into the air and burned violently.
Su Yu retreated a distance, slowly raised his hands and aimed at the flame, his pupils instantly dilated, and turned on the gene lock state.
"Go!"
Under his control, the flame soared into the air, turned into a huge fire snake, and landed directly on the corpse of the third-level mutant pig.
The liquid he sprayed before had a strong combustion-promoting effect. When the flames touched the body of the mutant pig, they drilled into the body like a maggot, and the fat pig kept crackling.
The ants that were still gnawing on the body were burned to ashes, and the refined pork further fueled the flames.
Su Yu was slightly excited. After all, this was the first time he had recklessly urged the flames. He didn't expect it to be so powerful.
After closing the gene lock, a sense of emptiness came over him. Fortunately, it was only for a moment and did not affect him much.
"Prepare to evacuate."
Lin Qi watched the fire grow bigger and gave the order to evacuate. Although the harvest this time was not as good as yesterday, he also got a lot of gene crystals, especially the first-level gene crystals of the mutant bird, which had dozens of them.
Moreover, Su Yu was a talent. He had a good way to deal with insects. He had to find a way to recruit him.
Just as the team was about to retreat, the voices of the other two teams suddenly came out of Anxin's wireless communication.
"Wait, they seem to be in trouble!"
The voice in the communicator was Fan Xiaojun. They were at the gap in the shelter at the moment, and seemed to have encountered a situation that they could not cope with.
"Yan Ming has gone to support, and he asked us to go to support as well."
An Xin looked at Lin Qi. She knew that she could no longer make a decision in the team at the moment.
"Ask what's going on. Don't let it be a trap, waiting for you to fall into it."
Lin Qi was joking, and it was obvious that this was what An Xin was most worried about.
An Xin asked a few more questions, and her face suddenly became serious.
"It's a special mutant beast. Fan Xiaojun and his team encountered a fourth-level mutant beast!"
An Xin's eyes were shining, and she looked at Lin Qi excitedly.
Fourth-level mutant beast, the Central Plains Safety Zone has never encountered such a level of mutant beast. You know, the top mutant beast now is only the fifth-level mammoth in the tropical area. In a place like theirs, a fourth-level mutant beast can actually appear.
If it can be hunted down, the meat of the mutant beast alone will be of great value!
