What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 45 Traveling

Xiang Kun replayed the two fights with the giant owl.

The first was an encounter by the lake. Although the owl had the upper hand, it wasn't completely a sneak attack. After all, Xiang Kun had already locked on to it by scent and had time to react.

In terms of coping, he did nothing wrong. After evading the first pounce, he didn't choose to continue running away and show his back to the giant owl, but chose to fight directly close to the body, relying on strength. So even though he missed the initiative and responded hastily, he still relied on the way of exchanging injuries to fight the owl away.

In the second match in the forest, Xiang Kun became the one who took the initiative to fight. He even bled to lure the giant owl to attack. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the owl pounced from top to bottom, he seized the timing and gap, jumped directly through the claws, hugged the owl, and stabbed the screwdriver into the eye.

It seemed like he was taking a risk, but in fact, Xiang Kun relied on his powerful dynamic vision to judge the owl's movements very accurately. In addition, he was sure that the owl's injury had not recovered, which would affect his vision, space and distance judgment. There will be deviations and delays, and he has a greater chance of success.

In summary, Xiang Kun believes that:

1. The dynamic visual ability needs to be continuously strengthened, and it can play a key role when fighting head-on or encountering danger;

2. Strength still needs to be improved, but at the same time, flexibility, speed, and jumping cannot be affected, which requires a balance of training volume between the two. While doing strength training, you still need a lot of flexibility, agility and running speed training, so as to avoid excessive weight and size growth;

3. His previous judgment on fighting skills was indeed correct. For him now, most of the systematic fighting skills are of little help to him, because those skills are aimed at normal people's bodies. He doesn't need to fight in a match or in a ring, just like last night's fighting, once contact, life and death are just an instant decision, that is, faster, stronger, more ruthless, more accurate, no amount of skills is as good as a screwdriver, a piece of iron Come useful. But it’s not that he doesn’t need any skills, he also needs to summarize and learn by himself, and find a method that suits him and better exerts his physical functions;

4. When encountering a mutated raptor or beast like a giant owl, you should not be reckless, let alone show cowardice. You must target their weaknesses and go all out after identifying them. You must be more ruthless and fierce than it.

Recalling the two previous fights against the giant owl, Xiang Kun found that apart from being a little frightened after seeing the owl's appearance clearly at the beginning, at other times, whether he exchanged injuries with it by the lake, or Flying to assassinate in the mountains, there is tension and excitement, but there is no fear or fear.

The wound severely injured by the owl was very painful, but the pain made him very excited, and he even felt that he could burst out with stronger strength than usual, and the more painful it was, the more sensitive his thinking became. After the pain and wounds are healed, there will be a kind of pleasure after long-distance running or fitness.

He felt that he seemed to enjoy the kind of life hanging by a thread.

This should be a change brought about by body mutation, because in the past, he had always acted cautiously, and to put it bluntly, there was no problem with being timid.

This also made him secretly sound the alarm to himself, and he needed to pay attention to monitoring his emotions.

When encountering danger, you should fight hard when you should be ruthless, fierce, and desperate, but you need to restrain yourself in normal times, so as not to be affected by such fighting and fierce emotions.

Next, Xiang Kun spent a few hours to roughly sort out the pictures he got from the memory of the giant owl.

In the memory pictures of various owls after mutation, the scenery spans at least four seasons, so the mutation time of this owl should be at least about one year.

In the picture, after the owl mutated, it hunted and drank the blood of two hundred and thirteen prey.

If Xiang Kun was used as a reference, it should have undergone at least two hundred and thirteen mutations - there may be many memory pictures of hunting and drinking blood that Xiang Kun has not obtained.

As for the human city it passed through, besides some places in the city that Xiang Kun was familiar with, there was another relatively backward county or village that it passed through when it first left the mountains.

Although there were no landmarks or shop names on the screen for Xiang Kun to judge the location, he saw the Chinese characters and letters on the license plates of several cars driving on the road, and knew that it was a neighboring city.

Xiang Kun remembered that after he was attacked by a giant owl by the lake last night, when he returned home and searched on the computer, he found the post on the post bar, which was posted in the post bar of a county in a neighboring city.

So Xiang Kun found the post and sent a short message to that person directly, saying that he was a reporter from a news website and wanted to interview him.

Then I found his previous post, searched the whole network using his user name, location, age, etc., found his Weibo account, and confirmed that his home was in a certain village in a certain county in a neighboring city.

After receiving the new mobile phone from Jingdong in the afternoon, Xiang Kun went out directly, took the bus to the station, and bought a ticket to the neighboring city.

After arriving at the station in the neighboring city, Xiang Kun transferred to the county where the poster was located.

In the car, Xiang Kun finally received a private message from the person who posted it, but the other party obviously did not believe that Xiang Kun was a reporter and thought he was a liar.

Xiang Kun didn't talk nonsense, he just asked him to send a phone number, charged him 100 yuan as a red envelope for the interview, and said that there would be other rewards for future interviews.

The person sent a number dubiously, but immediately received a text message from the operator, and sure enough, he charged 100 yuan for the call.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Kun called and asked about the situation at that time, as well as where and which tree he saw the strange man in the village in the village.

The poster repeated what he had said in his previous post in detail, and Xiang Kun interrupted to ask questions from time to time.

"Has the weirdo standing on the tree ever moved? How does it move?"

"How about the shape of the weird man, for example, is the head big, and can the limbs be seen?"

"Did you go closer to the tree to observe afterwards, and did you leave any traces there, such as footprints, claw marks, or feces?"

"Before it disappeared, did you see the direction it was moving, up or down?"

The poster answered all of them, and finally asked strangely: "Which website are you a reporter? Why are you interested in my post, and there are not many people replying to that post, and there are not many clicks and popularity?"

Xiang Kun said casually: "I'm a reporter from UC News. We've been doing a special topic on rural ghost stories recently, so we specially collect similar stories everywhere. They must have a basis in reality and have personal experience, so I found yours on the Internet. Post, I think we can dig a little... Is your story true?"

"Of course, it must be true! By the way, the other rewards you mentioned before are...?" The poster did not doubt him, and began to think about the rewards mentioned before.

"Don't worry, when I submit the story to our editor-in-chief for approval, I will officially apply for a face-to-face interview with you, and there will be a considerable interview fee at that time."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Kunren was already at the county station. He found a car directly outside the station and went to the village mentioned by the poster.

After talking on the phone with the poster and listening to his description, Xiang Kun felt that the "figure" on the tree that the other party saw a month ago was probably the giant owl. When the car drove up the mountain road to the village At that time, Xiang Kun was even more sure - because he had seen this road in the memory picture of the owl, but the memory picture was overlooking from the sky.

Xiang Kun came here immediately based on the clues, just to find the place where the owl originally lived, to see if he could find clues about how it mutated, or if there were other similar ones.
