The End of the World: Mountain and Sea Disasters

Chapter 33 The Color of Chaos

Frankly speaking.

Yu Ke was shocked!

The death of the human-faced owl is an established fact, and Yu Ke is convinced of this.

The growth of [Forest Ranger] professional experience is the best proof that the system will not lie to him.

In this case, what is the monster that resurrected in the tree hole?

Due to the long distance and the extremely short stay time, the trait of checking for leaks and filling in the gaps failed to help Yu Ke capture what those flowing colors are. He could only watch the human-faced owl come back to life and break through the tree hole into the blizzard.

The sudden situation really exceeded Yu Ke's expectations, which made him quite surprised and confused.

There are indeed many magical or weird phenomena in the era of the Great Cataclysm, and the human-faced owl is the best example.

But this phenomenon of resurrection from the dead is really incomprehensible.

Standing on the edge of the tree hole, Yu Ke now has no time to think about the cooked duck running away, but leaning against the tree trunk to check the video.

Because the first two hunting videos attracted widespread attention, Yu Ke habitually turned on the camera during the action.

Especially for the special existence of the human-faced owl on the wanted list, just the introduction of it can allow many people who watch the video to gain knowledge, and then let Yu Ke's [teacher] profession take a big step forward.

Of course, now is not the time to think about these.

Although it is impossible to check things through videos to fill in the gaps, the pictures taken by the camera can be enlarged and paused, which is enough for Yu Ke to make a preliminary analysis of it.

Pull the progress bar and directly lock the two minutes after the death of the human-faced owl.

As the picture was enlarged, Yu Ke soon noticed the amorphous color flowing out of the human-faced owl's head. The video showed that it was these indescribable colors that made up for the wounds in various parts of the human-faced owl's body, allowing it to regain the ability to fly.

Otherwise, with the two wings that were riddled with holes from the shotgun, the human-faced owl would definitely not be able to fly!

The question is, what exactly is this flowing color?

Yu Ke had never seen anything like this in the Forestry Bureau or other channels, so he couldn't make a judgment. He could only infer what was happening now and determine that it had the ability to "resurrect" corpses.

Thinking of this, Yu Ke suddenly realized.

When he approached the tree hole earlier, the wailing of the human-faced owl he heard must have been because of this thing in its body. It probably didn't want to be contaminated by this weird existence, but it had to fight first because of Yu Ke's appearance.

This is obviously a very important discovery. Not to mention posting it online to attract attention, it may even cause a wave of research within the Forestry Bureau, which is a considerable gain.

It's a pity that the human-faced owl didn't know where it jumped to.

Yu Ke turned his head and looked at the restless wind and snow around him. No matter how capable he was, he couldn't track the human-faced owl in the blizzard.

If the frightened horned deer king was around, he might have tried it.

Normally, Yu Ke should have withdrawn now that he had obtained the professional experience and the video, even if he had not obtained the extraordinary materials. However, looking at the video in the camera, his eyes finally turned to the depths of the dark tree hole.

Is it possible that the human-faced owl left some flowing colors during its struggle?

If the sample can be brought back, is it possible that the professional experience of [Forest Ranger] will increase by leaps and bounds?

You must know that after killing the human-faced owl, nearly two-thirds of the [Forest Ranger] professional label has turned into azure, and the upgrade is imminent. Yu Ke certainly wants to take this opportunity to get it right in one step.

After stepping on the edge of the tree hole and roughly estimating the height, Yu Ke drew out the short knife.

Just like when he climbed the tree just now, the short knife and the axe were interlaced and embedded in the tree trunk, and when he saw that the height was about the same, he jumped directly.

The tree hole that can accommodate the human-faced owl to rest can naturally bear Yu Ke's weight.

With the helmet blocking the way, Yu Ke couldn't smell the smell in the tree hole, but the light passed by, and the bones and bloody remains everywhere were enough for him to guess what kind of smell he would smell after taking off the helmet, which would definitely make him vomit his breakfast.

Half squatting, Yu Ke carefully observed the place where the human-faced owl had just lain, hoping to find some residue there.

The result was disappointing.

Yu Ke swept back and forth several times with the light of the helmet, but found nothing.

If there were residual flowing colors, it should be easy to notice with its luminous characteristics.

However, just as Yu Ke stood up, the half of the beast's leg bone that the light accidentally passed by caught Yu Ke's attention.

It was not strange to find beast remains in the nest of the human-faced owl. What was strange was that some purple-red meridians appeared in the cracks of the half leg bone, which was obviously abnormal.

Picking up the leg bone with a short knife, Yu Ke adjusted the light to focus on the gap of the leg bone.

The leak-checking and patching up soon came into play.

Bison leg bone: Bison leg bone infected by an unknown life form, which will produce extremely bad side effects after consumption.

Unknown life form?

Even the leak-checking and patching up of the life form could not give accurate information, Yu Ke quickly realized that he might have discovered something incredible!

Using a short knife to cut open the leg bone along the gap, he found that the bone marrow inside had completely turned purple-red.

Yu Ke continued to observe, trying to figure out its characteristics by checking for leaks and filling in the gaps.

Mutated bone marrow: bone marrow infected by unknown life forms, which will produce extremely bad side effects after consumption.

Still no use. If checking for leaks and filling in the gaps is to work, it is estimated that it is necessary to find its main body, otherwise it is the characteristics of the infected object, and it is difficult to extract useful information.

But one thing is certain.

The color flowing out of the human-faced owl's body after death is probably caused by this.

Could the source of infection be the bison?

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Ke's mind suddenly emerged with the abnormality of the vines used by the human-faced owl to tie up food that he had just seen in the suspended nest.

At that time, Yu Ke was in a hurry to hunt the human-faced owl, and he had no time to observe. Now thinking about it, how similar are the colors of those vines to this bone marrow?

Rather than saying that there was something wrong with the bison, Yu Ke suspected that the vines that tied up the human-faced owl's prey had mutated.

After checking his pockets and not finding a plastic bag, Yu Ke used the dead vines nearby to tie a few circles around his leg bones and put them on his body. Then he returned along the original path and found the vines at the edge of the suspended nest.

As expected.

The mutations at the tips of these vines were even more obvious than the leg bones, and the gaps gave similar information.

Mutated vines: vines infected by unknown life forms, which will corrode the flesh of living things after touching them, causing new infections!

Yu Ke does not have the equipment and technology to study these things now, but this does not prevent him from taking these mutation samples back to the patrol camp or simply handing them over to the small garden workstation, which as a research institution will definitely be interested in these things.

At that time, he can also receive some additional professional experience.
