Encounter with a Yuan Beast Again
Since the arrival of the extreme cold.
The nights have been devoid of the chirping of insects and the singing of birds, making the already silent nights even more silent and soundless.
The entire Wolong Village disappeared into the pitch black under the cover of night.
In the darkness, the dim village entrance seemed like a monster had opened its abyssal maw, waiting for Lin Shi to come in.
Lin Shi felt a sense of danger rising in his heart as he looked at the darkness.
Although there were no living villagers in Wolong Village anymore.
The threats at night generally did not come from people, but from some wild animals or even Yuan beasts that were short of food in the deep mountains.
Wolong Village was originally a mountain village, surrounded by mountains, and the chances of encountering wild animals or Yuan beasts were inherently higher than elsewhere.
Lin Shi never thought that he would encounter the anomaly of Yuan beasts appearing early in this life, otherwise, he would not have built his safe house in the mountains.
At that time, he thought that there were many wild animals in the mountains, and after eating the meat in his own space, he could still go hunting in the mountains to increase his meat storage.
He took out an infrared night vision goggles from his space and put them on.
In the dark night, any homeothermic animals within 200 meters would be exposed under the infrared night vision goggles.
Then he took out his weapon and walked on the road outside the village.
On one side of the road outside the village was a field, and on the other side were the houses in the village.
There was no wind and snow tonight, and the field full of weeds was clear without any buildings to block the view.
Lin Shi focused his attention on the village side.
He moved forward step by step with caution.
After walking for a few minutes, there was still nothing suspicious in his sight.
The only sound he could hear was the slight noise of his own feet stepping into the snow.
Was he being paranoid?
Lin Shi thought to himself.
But he did not let his guard down, as caution was the key to longevity.
In the post-apocalyptic world, it was better to waste some time and energy being overly cautious than to die from one's own carelessness.
After walking for a few more minutes, a flash of red light suddenly appeared in the infrared night vision goggles!
It appeared for only a moment and then disappeared behind the buildings.
What was that?!
Lin Shi stood alert, on guard.
He already had a gun in his hand.
Seeing the red light proved that his premonition was correct, there was indeed a living creature in Wolong Village!
That red light swept through the air, definitely not a person!
Lin Shi held his breath slightly, focusing intently on the position where the red light had just disappeared.
About three or four minutes later, with a strange sound, the infrared night vision goggles suddenly flashed red light again and then disappeared!
This time it was closer to his position.
Time passed second by second, and Lin Shi was on high alert.
Just as the red light appeared in his sight again, he quickly aimed at the red light and fired a shot!
"Bang!"
The sound of the gunshot made the thing that was pouncing stumble and fall from the air, making a muffled sound as it fell into the snow.
Then it quickly stood up as if nothing had happened and pounced towards Lin Shi again!
This time Lin Shi saw clearly what it was.
It's actually an ape-like creature!
In the infrared night vision goggles, the ape's arms looked particularly thick, and it ran using both hands and feet, with palms larger than a washbasin.
This is clearly a mutated long-armed ape!
The sound Lin Shi heard before was because this long-armed ape had been swinging through the village's buildings in mid-air.
As the long-armed ape approached within a hundred meters, the treasure pot immediately issued a prompt:
[A first-order source beast detected within a hundred meters]
Lin Shi was not surprised but delighted, took back his gun, and took out a military knife.
He wanted to try if he could subdue this long-armed ape.
Although he had already had the idea of forming a source beast army, if the source beast could not be tamed, even if the space could hold living things, his plan could not be implemented.
Let's try this long-armed ape to see if his idea can succeed!
Now that he has activated the second stage of the genetic lock, he can also try his real combat power with this first-order long-armed ape!
Lin Shi's eyes filled with fighting spirit, holding a military knife, he swept straight towards the huge long-armed ape!
Seeing Lin Shi not running away but advancing, the long-armed ape slapped towards Lin Shi with a face-washing basin-sized palm, accompanied by a howling sound.
Feeling the stench of fur coming towards him, Lin Shi dodged nimbly.
He slashed down at the long-armed ape's arm in front of him.
The blade entered the flesh by an inch and was clamped by the ape's muscles, unable to go any further.
"Such strong defense!"
His current strength has increased several times compared to when he unlocked the first stage of the genetic lock before.
It actually caused less damage to this long-armed ape than the mutated wild boar before?!
The pain in his arm made the long-armed ape roar, and the other arm slapped down on Lin Shi's head!
Lin Shi directly abandoned the military knife and leaped back to dodge.
The snowflakes splashed at the position where Lin Shi originally stood.
He had no doubt that if this blow hit his forehead, his forehead would split open like the watermelon he usually slapped in the safe house.
The genetic lock was quietly activated in an instant.
Lin Shi's eyes and temperament changed, and he entered a mysterious state again, with the power in his body surging out!
He quickly judged the strengths and weaknesses of this long-armed ape in his mind.
As an ape, its defense is not as strong as a wild boar, but the long-armed ape's arms seem to be extremely strong in both power and defense.
Obviously, the arms have mutated.
If you want to take down this long-armed ape, the place to attack should be its body!
The long-armed ape didn't hit Lin Shi, quickly opened its arms, and hugged towards Lin Shi fiercely.
The arms, at least two meters long, almost blocked Lin Shi's front, back, left, and right retreats!
A new military knife reappeared in Lin Shi's hand, and he cleverly borrowed strength from the long-armed ape's arm when it hugged, stepping on the long-armed ape's shoulder.
After activating the second stage of the genetic lock, his strength and speed are not comparable to the first-order source beast.
He grabbed the long-armed ape's fur with his left hand to stabilize his body, and stabbed the sharp military knife in his right hand towards the long-armed ape's neck.
In a matter of seconds, he reversed the battle situation.
The long-armed ape roared in pain.
Under the precise control of the genetic lock, Lin Shi's knife avoided the long-armed ape's carotid artery and stabbed deep into the long-armed ape's neck.
As long as he exerted force horizontally, he could cut half of the long-armed ape's neck open.
Lin Shi didn't care whether the long-armed ape could understand or not, and said with a murderous aura:
"Submit to me, or I'll kill you!"
