Chapter 10: Ice Crisis (5)

The reason why the jungle was chosen as the exploration area is also considered, the tropical rainforest is the most abundant and colorful geographical environment of flora and fauna, and the number of flora and fauna is often several times that of the forest landform in the same area.

So theoretically, the area with the most mutant creatures and mutated plants should also be the most.

The facts also proved his guess, and after only a few hundred meters through the jungle, Xia Yu realized the difference between the forests he had seen in the past.

There are lush plants everywhere, green and lush, everywhere is this messy green, looking a little dazzling, dense plants are growing wildly, almost covering the range of sight, in this environment there is almost no road to walk, only the gaps between the plants can be walked through, the ground is muddy and damp, and there are many water nests, covered with rotten fallen leaves that are not noticeable at all, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.

Fortunately, the panther's movements are very vigorous and flexible, even if he accidentally stepped on it, he could jump out immediately, if he had changed the original him, I was afraid that he would have fallen somewhere a long time ago, even if he was a panther now, he would have walked cautiously and was frightened.

Not only is the bad road difficult to travel, but the animals in the jungle also opened Xia Yu's eyes.

There are unknown insects swimming slowly in the water, poisonous snakes are entrenched in the trees, occasionally there are strange insect chirping bird calls from all around, swarms of big mosquitoes buzzing, the sun is blocked by dense branches and leaves, only the broken light is revealed, the dark environment makes Xia Yu nervous, and the strange sounds around him make his scalp tingle.

It wasn't until he saw the corpse of a beast covered in ants that he finally couldn't stand the harsh environment anymore and turned and ran the way he came.

No, no, the rainforest is really not a place for people, and this Nima has not yet encountered mutated creatures, so these bugs are scared to death.

Running back to the beach in one breath, looking at the green hell in front of him and sighing for a while, but he was not willing to give up so easily, the worse the environment, the more it means that there are 'goods', as long as this psychological barrier is overcome, you will definitely get great gains.

Xia Yu decided to compromise first, and slowly adapted to the environment by moving along the area between the jungle and the forest.

Thinking so, he ran towards the forest again, but when he reached the edge of the forest, a few coconut trees near the beach caught his attention.

Of course, Xia Yu didn't want to eat coconuts, but noticed that there were many huge crabs crawling on and under these coconut trees.

It's coconut crab! He had seen it in the wilderness, most of these coconut crabs were reddish-brown or gray-brown, but there was a gray-white giant coconut crab mixed in it, which was particularly conspicuous, it was hanging on the waist of a coconut tree, it seemed to be resting, it was huge, counting a pair of large pincers that were one meter long, when Xia Yu approached, he also heard the sound of a prompt in his ears.

[System Prompt: Found a mutant creature 'Albino Coconut Crab'. 】

Xia Yu was happy in his heart, he was lucky, this thing was very suitable as his own blood.

He bypassed the coconut crabs crawling all over the ground, ran a few steps, rubbed twice towards the coconut tree, and scurried up, swinging out his paw and knocking the mutated coconut crab down with a snap.

Fell back to the ground flexibly, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the coconut crab falling to the ground with a snap, and it fell firmly, it seemed to be a little frightened, and it was facing Xia Yu with two mighty pincers.

However, although there are thick armor and heavy pliers, Xia Yu did not take it seriously, the reaction ability and flexibility of the coconut crab are not comparable to the root feline at all, Xia Yu went around to the back of the coconut crab, went up and bit the hind leg of the coconut crab, and dragged it to the beach in three or two strokes.

The coconut crab tried hard to turn around, but was pressed on his back by Xia Yu's paw and couldn't move.

The coconut crab seemed to realize that something was wrong, and simply shrunk in a circle, and the eight crab legs curled up, leaving only a pair of crab claws to wave in vain.

This pair of big tongs is still somewhat threatening, in case it is caught, it is not a joke, Xia Yu bit a crab claw, pulled it hard, and ripped it off, and concocted it as it was, and scrapped the other crab claw, so that you can rest assured.

Xia Yu looked at the coconut crab under his paws but made a difficulty, this thing was covered in carapace, but how to bite it, he didn't have hands, otherwise he could get a stone to break it.

After thinking about it, I turned the coconut crab over with my claws, and its belly was still relatively soft.

One bite went down, and with a click, Xia Yu, who was in the carapace, had a sore tooth.

This thing is too hard, and I don't know if the coconut crab is like this or if the armor has been improved after mutation.

He looked up again, and there was really nothing to use.

No matter, let's just come on, I'm a wild animal now, I can't be so particular, I will bite all the carapace in my abdomen with a few clicks, the salty crab meat has a little sweetness of coconut milk, and the taste is not bad, it would be nice if I could make a fire, it must be delicious when it is cooked, Xia Yu thought while gnawing on the raw crab meat.

He soon discovered that tongues with spines were perfect for this, as they could easily get the meat out of the cracks in the carapace.

After a few bites, the more I ate, the more delicious it became. I don't know if it's supposed to be like this, or because the panther is also a feline and has a special preference for seafood.

[System Prompt: Successfully hunt the mutant creature 'Albino Coconut Crab' and obtain 1 point of Evolutionary Blood.] 】

Finally got it, Xia Yu was overjoyed, and immediately stopped eating, time was pressing, and he couldn't waste it on eating.

This is just a drop of evolutionary blood, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

Thinking so, he ran towards the forest.

The environment of the forest is much friendlier than the jungle, the ground is dry and firm, suitable for fast running, and the vegetation is luxuriant, but it does not give people the feeling of green hell.

There are also many animals, squirrels or some unknown birds can be seen on the trees, and there are also some small beasts such as hares, foxes, and minks, and they hurriedly hid in the hole when they saw Xia Yu's appearance.

Xia Yu didn't waste time on these ordinary animals, he felt as if he was returning home, walking quickly among the trees, he moved along the river, firstly, this river is a good landmark, and secondly, animals always want river water, and it will be easier to find prey by walking along the river.

Sure enough, after advancing for more than ten minutes, a faint sound caught his attention, Xia Yu carefully touched it, it was a group of elk, drinking water in a gentle place where the river was level, one of them was obviously different from ordinary elk, its body was much thicker, the fur on its body was shiny, almost showing a kind of gold, the antlers on the head were bent like blades, and a pair of deer eyes were shining like rubies, looking handsome and extraordinary.

[System Prompt: Mutated creatures have been found, 'Bladehorned Deer'.] 】

Xia Yu's eyes lit up, this blade-horned deer must be richer than the coconut crab, and he immediately lowered his body, for fear of scaring the deer away.

He first crawled behind the bushes to observe for a while, there was no wind at this time, so there was no need to worry about the smell exposure, there was a lot of grass and bushes around, suitable for sneaking approach.

Xia Yu has watched a lot of documentaries about wild animals, knows the predation methods of felines, leopards are faster than elk, but their endurance is far inferior, and it is difficult to succeed in long-distance attacks, the best choice is to find an opportunity to approach the target first, and then launch a surprise attack.

His belly pressed against the ground to the lowest level, and he slowly moved his paws and crawled slowly towards the herd of elk, stopping from time to time and hiding in the grass to avoid being discovered.

It felt like he was playing a stealth assassination game, and as he gradually approached the target, his heart also lifted, but just when he was still more than ten meters away from the group of elk, an elk suddenly turned his head, Xia Yu just poked out the front half of his body from the grass where he was hiding, and the two met like this.
