A footprint appeared less than three meters away from the entrance of the Luyan safe house.
To be precise, it was a paw print similar to that of a feline animal, but the strange thing was that this paw print was not a meat pad or four fingerprints, but five fingerprints!
Its width is about 8 centimeters. Based on this width, the owner of the paw print should be some kind of small or medium-sized beast, such as a cheetah or a juvenile tiger.
Lu Yan lay down on the ground carefully observing the traces of the paw prints. He found that the strange paw prints were not only around the wolf fur, but scattered around the safe house. There is a shallow layer of dust imprint, which cannot be noticed without careful observation.
After more than ten minutes of inspection, Lu Yan found that among these claw marks, the one closest to the entrance of the safe house was only less than 50 centimeters away!
In other words, when I was practicing bow and arrow in the safe house just now, at the entrance above my head, there was a hungry beast watching me silently!
A gust of cold air climbed directly from the back of Lu Yan's spine to the back of his head. This discovery made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
Just now, in order to attract a little sunlight into the safe room, Lu Yan did not close the door completely, but opened a gap of about 30 cm, and used wooden sticks to support it.
If that ferocious feline wanted to break in, this level of defense would not be able to stop it at all!
"I'm still too careless! The illusion that everything is going well after entering the apocalypse made me relax my vigilance, and I didn't realize that danger is everywhere...Accidents can happen at any time!" Lu Yan felt a wave of fear in his heart. He thought that at noon Beasts usually don't leave their lairs to wander around during the hottest season, so they relax a bit.
The paw prints that appeared in front of his eyes were like a loud slap in the face.
Using empiricism to survive in the wilderness is the way to die!
"Maybe the beast saw my bow, arrow and axe, so it didn't dare to attack rashly, so I escaped for the time being." Lu Yan quickly calmed down, and he would keep his slack and mistakes firmly in his heart. The most pressing question before him is...
What exactly is that feline beast?
Is it still near the safe house?
"Among all the beasts in nature, cats are the strongest, they are almost natural killers... If the beast broke in just now, what is the chance that I will kill him in a panic?" Lu Yan's brain Turning rapidly, he soon came to a conclusion.
If that unknown feline beast broke in and fought hand-to-hand with the opponent, the result would most likely be... Bu Yila, the coffin was closed, and the whole village waited for the food!
Great banquet! Great banquet!
Even if he was lucky enough to kill the opponent, he would still be seriously injured!
Injury on the second day of the apocalypse, that is, without drugs and medical equipment, is almost equivalent to a death sentence.
"We still need to find out the type and habits of this thing first, and then decide how to deal with it!" Lu Yan rubbed his chin, and soon, he opened the world chat interface.
[Lu Yan: Upload a picture! ]
[Lu Yan: Everyone, who knows what kind of beast this paw print belongs to? Thank you very much for providing accurate information about this beast! ]
In the world channel, Lu Yan used the dedicated game screenshot function to clearly copy the paw prints, and then uploaded them.
Soon, there was a flood of responses.
[Chen Nan: It looks like a leopard, but cats should only have four claws touching the ground, and the fifth is a hanging finger, which should not appear on the footprints...]
[Karloff: Maybe it's a cougar, and the graphics look like it too! ]
[Wang Musheng: It's just nonsense, I think it looks like an African leopard... You can see that its pads and claw marks are very round. Among cats, only African leopards have such claw marks]
[Karloff: Then how do you explain the problem of the five claws? ]
[xxx: Maybe he was injured? Or is it a genetic problem, a birth deformity? ]
[…]
[…]
There was a debate in the world channel, and finally, the player who spoke first said again:
[Chen Nan: Someone mentioned a deformity just now, I guess it might not be a gene, maybe it's...mutation! ]
Chen Nan's speech was quickly recognized by many players, and Lu Yan's pupils shrank as he thought of this possibility.
At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly received a private message.
Open it and see that it is a message from a player whose ID is [Zhao Ruifeng].
[Zhao Ruifeng: I know what this is. ]
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, and immediately replied: [Brother, can you provide me with all the information about it? I can give you 150ml of drinking water in exchange! ]
[Zhao Ruifeng: Wait! ]
[Golden Lynx]
[Species: Feline subfamily, Lynx genus, mutant species]
[Description: lv1 mutant beast, with three golden stripes on its head, huge hanging fingers on its front paws, and a small amount of muscle paralyzing toxin inside the hanging toes! ]
[Information: Adults can reach up to 80 centimeters in length and 25 kilograms. After eyeing a certain prey, they will always lurk nearby until they find an opportunity to sneak attack! ]
[Weakness: Due to the evolution of huge toxin hanging fingers, the speed of reaction, running, and hunting is greatly reduced! Afraid of pain, timid, and will run away immediately if injured! The bones at the gold pattern on the head are fragile and can be easily pierced and crushed! Stupid, less intelligent! ]
[Threat: Low! Adult males can easily complete the hunt with a cold weapon of 40 cm or more! ]
A whole page of edited information was sent, and Lu Yan quickly read it and asked: [Brother, how do you know this information? ]
It can't be blamed that Lu Yan is too suspicious. He can't trust others easily in the wilderness. It doesn't hurt to have a little bit of insight.
[Zhao Ruifeng: Hehe, are you still afraid that I will lie to you? Let me tell you, I opened the treasure chest today and got a monster atlas, which recorded the habits and identification methods of most wild beasts and mutant beasts in detail. ]
[Lu Yan: I don't know, brother, do you mind letting me take a look? It's not that I believe you, it's because I want to open my eyes! ]
[Zhao Ruifeng sent a picture]
It was a selfie of Zhao Ruifeng, holding a book like an album in his hand, with a few large characters written on the cover...
"Basic Monster Illustrated Book"!
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This is a good thing! With it, the risk factor of walking in the wilderness will be greatly reduced!
If only I could buy it...
[Lu Yan: Brother, is this thing for sale? I charge a high price! ]
[Zhao Ruifeng: Sorry, I'm going to use it for myself. ]
The acquisition failed, Lu Yan touched his chin, and then quickly typed in the private chat interface: [I'll give you a specified transaction of 150ml of drinking water right now, please confirm]
[Zhao Ruifeng: No need, I don't need this little water right now... This information is for free, just treat it as a friend! You are so famous now, maybe I will ask you for something in the future! Ha ha! ]
After saying this, Zhao Ruifeng directly interrupted the private chat interface, and Lu Yan took the initiative to chat with the other party in private again, and the other party stopped responding.
What is this?
Do you have to force yourself to owe him a favor?
Lu Yan smiled helplessly. Compared with human relations, he still prefers straightforward transactional relationships. After all, such things as human debts are very difficult to repay, and sometimes even cost half his life...
"But...do I have the value to ask someone to make friends with me now?" Lu Yan recalled what Zhao Ruifeng said just now. After a moment of meditation, he quickly climbed to the top of the safe house mound and carefully observed the surroundings.
Mutant lynx... Once it sets its sights on a certain prey, it will always lurk nearby, looking for opportunities to sneak attack.
Lu Yan looked around.
Mounds, bunkers, groves…
Nothing unusual was found.
Suddenly, Lu Yan's eyes stopped.
He saw an imperceptible golden flash in a withered bush three hundred meters away from the safe house! ?
