The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 43 Hunting
Pick up the snow monster's head.

No blood flowed from the wound made by the ax blade.

Yu Ke looked at its appearance and thought about its possible origin.

Do the ferocious beasts deep in the Jinghu Forest look like this?

Moreover, given the current harsh environment in Jinghu Forest, normal wild animals would choose to hibernate temporarily.

Running for several hours to the outskirts to eat someone and then running back, what are you trying to do?
After thinking about it, Yu Ke still felt that this monster was related to the cold wave, and the timing of its appearance was the best evidence.

You must know that the cold wave has lasted for several days.

It just so happened that the environment suddenly deteriorated today, and even when the Forestry Protection Bureau specially reminded it, this snow monster suddenly appeared from the wind and snow.

Not only did he force his way into the camp, but he also directly attacked Yu Ke. This was definitely not something a wild beast would do.

After the Chaos Color incident, Yu Ke's mental endurance has been improved. The monster in front of him at least has a human form, but it is just a little ugly.

It doesn't matter if it is difficult to identify the identity, it has the characteristics of checking for leaks and filling in the gaps.

Careful observation of its head and torso allowed Yu Ke to successfully obtain its information.

Vindigo: A snow monster that follows the cold wave. It has a strong desire to kill and destroy, and has the ability to control wind and snow in a small area.

"Windiego"

Yu Ke muttered this somewhat unpronounceable name, and the conjecture in his mind was verified.

Noticing Wen Diego's characteristics, he immediately called up the professional label system to check the experience gained by [Ranger Hunter] and [Investigator]. This was another way for Yu Ke to identify the monster's identity.

The former's experience has increased, and so has the latter's. This discovery made Yu Ke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

From this point of view, Vindiego is likely to belong to the category of unknown horror monsters. Just like the color of chaos that erupts during the cold wave, it follows the cold wave and is itself affected by it.

It's just that this strength is a bit weak.

While thinking, Yu Ke suddenly felt a warm current emerging from his body, gradually spreading to his limbs.

The body temperature seems to have risen a little.

Yu Ke immediately realized that his newly acquired loot characteristics were taking effect, and Wen Diego was obviously a special target.

Turn on the characteristics view, and sure enough, new content appears below the characteristics of the loot.

Hunting target: Vindiego (slightly improves cold resistance)
The guy in front of me dared to run around in the snowstorm without wearing anything. His cold resistance must be fully maxed out.

Maybe he saved the deer and gained good fortune.

Yu Ke's luck can only be said to be very good. He was able to trigger the acquisition of some traits that were only possible with a very small probability, which made him very satisfied.

No matter how many passive-triggered traits come to him, he won't despise them.

Putting away the Leviathan Ax, Yu Ke looked around, trying to find a bag to collect Wen Diego's body.

The Forestry Protection Bureau must be very interested in this thing, and they can use it to redeem rewards.

However, when Yu Ke took out the bag from the house and returned to the place, he was surprised to find that Wen Diego's body began to freeze.

This does not mean that it is frozen by the wind and snow, but that its body is being assimilated by the ice and snow. Both its skin and flesh and blood are rapidly losing their original state and turning into a translucent dirty ice mass.

Even the outline of that ferocious face became blurred, like a crude ice sculpture.

What is the principle of this?
Yu Ke only felt that all three views had been challenged, but then he thought about the color of chaos, and felt that this kind of monster was born like this.

He took out his cell phone and took a few photos. Even though Diego Wen began to transform, Yu Ke chose to put it away and then handed it over to the Forestry Protection Bureau for study.

After finishing his busy work in the camp, Yu Ke still did not choose to rest. The Jinghorn Deer King has not appeared yet, and coupled with the presence of Wen Diego, Yu Ke is increasingly worried about the former's safety.

The information about Vindiego given by checking for omissions and filling in the gaps clearly mentioned that it has a strong desire to kill and destroy. Yu Ke would not be so naive as to think that this monster is the only one nearby.

Carrying the equipment and the medicines he got from the small garden work station not long ago, Yu Ke left the camp and headed to Jinghu Forest.

It's almost noon now.

The weather has improved, at least it is no longer blind, but the blizzard still seriously blocks the view.

The searchlight in front of the car illuminates the road ahead, and snowflakes are blown away by the cold wind.

Yu Ke sat in the cab, paying attention to the road conditions ahead and checking the map on the screen.

Thanks to vehicles such as off-road vehicles, which are specially made models issued by the Forestry Protection Bureau, all configurations can still operate normally even in such a low-temperature environment, and the tires have been replaced by him in advance.

Only then can you drive normally on forest roads completely covered with ice and snow.

Before we had driven very far, the light suddenly illuminated a deer with frightened antlers staggering forward on the road ahead.

呲~
Yu Ke quickly stepped on the brakes, opened the door and went to check the situation.

The Jinghorn Deer obviously saw Yu Ke, struggled to take two steps forward, and then tipped forward due to physical reasons.

"what happened?"

Holding the deer's neck, Yu Ke tried to ask about the situation.

However, this frightened deer obviously did not have the wisdom of the Deer King. It just held his clothes in its mouth, trying to lead him in a certain direction.

Yu Ke quickly understood its meaning.

Because in the forest area to the southeast, more and more horned deer appear.

Without exception, they were covered in weather and were in extremely poor condition, obviously affected by the extreme cold.

What's more important is that Yu Ke found injuries on several of the horned deer. The blood was frozen on the fur before it even had time to flow out. The dark red color was particularly eye-catching.

The Jinghorn Deer King never appeared in Yu Ke's sight.
As the king of the herd, there is only one possibility for the Jinghorn Deer King to choose to leave the herd.

That is, when the group encounters a threat, it will inevitably step forward and choose to solve the threat alone.

The giant python that was hunted down at the beginning is the best proof.

Without any hesitation, Yu Ke returned to the off-road vehicle, took out the Leviathan Ax from the trunk, and traced the direction the deer had come from.

At the same time in Jinghu Forest.

The frightening-antlered deer king jumped up in the wind and snow, and the black ball in the center of the horns above its head burst out with purple light.

In an instant, a dozen oncoming ice lumps froze in the air, and then bounced back at a faster speed.

Standing still on the snow-covered boulder, he adjusted his posture and sprayed a cold mist from his mouth and nose.

The frightened deer king raised his head, his deer pupils under his eyelashes stained with snowflakes full of vigilance.

In the wind and snow ahead, dozens of black shadows emerged one after another.

The short and stocky Vindigo squatted among the branches, with a dark blue tongue hanging from the skull on his head, licking the ice and snow; the four-armed Vindigo leaned against the tree trunk, his long and narrow knuckles raking through the wind and snow, grasping endlessly. The regular ice is lumpy; even the bear-shaped Vendigo people stood up and roared horribly towards the Jinghorn Deer King.

Vindiego does not refer to a single individual, but to a group!
