Chapter 319: Life and Death

Whoosh!

The wind was howling, and a small black dot dived rapidly towards the ground, making a sound similar to the roar of a fighter plane. Many ground mutants were startled and looked up at the sky through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

A flying mutant that looked like a bat but ten times more ferocious flashed across the sky, disappeared in the sky a few seconds later, and landed on the ground where there were no carnivorous mutants.

After rubbing his facial skin that was wrinkled by the howling wind and observing the surrounding environment, Ke Hao jumped off the flying dragon swiftly and headed southwest according to the original instructions.

As soon as Ke Hao stepped back a few steps, the flying dragon flew back into the sky and drilled into the thick clouds.

Ke Hao was not worried about this. He knew that Wang Jin had a way to find his whereabouts. After completing the task, he would send a flying dragon down to pick him up.

After pushing aside the dense forest bushes and weeds, Ke Hao did not immediately use his supernatural power to become invisible.

It is still more than 20 kilometers away from the cave. The mutant beasts guarding the cave cannot see that far, so there is no need to waste energy. Ensure that your energy is more sufficient to deal with the next task.

Mutants appear from time to time in the forest. Here, even ordinary herbivorous mutant beasts are very ferocious. It is still troublesome to anger them. Carnivorous mutant beasts are even more difficult to deal with. Humans have always been their favorite food.

Fortunately, Ke Hao was born in an underground base and often went out to hunt in the mountains. He has a lot of experience in how to avoid ferocious mutant beasts.

Relying on the dense forests and leaves and branches on his body for camouflage, Ke Hao's whole body is smeared with tree sap and becomes green. The clothes on his head are full of freshly picked green branches. When he is motionless, he looks like a human-shaped tree.

Whenever he encounters a mutant beast, Ke Hao lies under the bushes and waits for the mutant beast to leave before continuing to act.

Although this is troublesome and time-consuming, it avoids fighting with mutant beasts and making a big noise.

However, as he got closer to the cave, more powerful mutant beasts appeared here. At this time, Ke Hao had to use his supernatural power to become invisible, otherwise he might reveal his flaws and expose his target.

More than 20 kilometers passed in a flash. Ke Hao relied on his camouflage and supernatural power to avoid many level 2 mutant beasts and slowly came to the front of the cave.

In front of the cave, there were no level 2 mutant beasts, but there were three more powerful level 3 mutant beasts.

Two of them were two black and white mutant giant wolves more than 30 meters long, which looked like a pair of spouses, and one was a mutant golden eagle with golden feathers and a wingspan of 100 meters.

At this time, the two mutant giant wolves were lying at the entrance of the cave to rest, lazily basking in the sun.

The mutant golden eagle was resting on a towering tree 100 meters high. Its light golden pupils kept observing the surrounding situation from time to time, and it was much more vigilant than the two mutant giant wolves.

Ke Hao rubbed his hands nervously and frowned tightly. The last time he came to steal snake eggs, there were no level 3 mutant beasts stationed here, but now there are three more.

"Hey, let's fight!" Ke Hao gritted his teeth. Although he wanted to retreat, he knew Wang Jin's ruthlessness. If he turned back, he would have to fight to the death. Now he had no choice but to seek wealth and honor in danger.

He fixed his backpack tightly and cleared the branches on his body to avoid making any noise. He knew the horror of the hearing of powerful mutant beasts. Any sound could bring him a catastrophe.

Everything was ready. Ke Hao activated his supernatural power. The surrounding space seemed to be stirred up by the water surface, gradually becoming blurred, and Ke Hao's figure also faded.

Finally, the space returned to normal, and Ke Hao disappeared and entered the invisible state.

After becoming invisible, Ke Hao walked slowly and tiptoed to avoid stepping on any fallen leaves or touching any branches.

Every time he landed, he would put down his feet when there was wind blowing around or insects chirping. He used these noises to cover up his footsteps and moved forward at a very careful and meticulous snail's pace.

The vegetation near the cave is quite dense. As he moves forward, Ke Hao needs to observe more carefully, think carefully about every step, and make the most reasonable route arrangement.

Half an hour later, Ke Hao has only traveled less than 100 meters, and the distance to the cave in front is still more than 80 meters.

But this short 100 meters has made Ke Hao very tired. People are very nervous and tired under mental stress, and some people even have urgency to urinate and sweat.

Fortunately, as a second-level mutant, Ke Hao has a high degree of control over his body. He has closed all the pores on his body, so he doesn't have to worry about sweating and exposing his smell.

As he gets closer and closer to the cave, Ke Hao also stops his breathing and heartbeat, and the blood flows very slowly in his body, achieving the best concealment effect, so that his body will hardly reveal any flaws. This is the mutant's ability to control the body, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

At this time, Ke Hao also began to speed up his pace, because with his strength, this state can only be maintained for less than ten minutes.

If he didn't enter the cave at this time, he might be exposed to the third-level mutant beast because of his heartbeat and breathing.

Just as Ke Hao accelerated, the sharp pupils of the mutant golden eagle moved slightly, and suddenly looked in the direction where Ke Hao was hiding.

There was an almost transparent spider web, and a colorful, fist-sized spider was quickly crawling out from the hiding place of the leaves. The spider web shook just now, and the spider thought that prey had fallen into the web, but it found nothing when it came out.

This scene was also noticed by the vigilant mutant golden eagle. Its wings flapped, rolling up a small tornado more than ten meters high. Thousands of transparent wind blades rotated in the tornado and blew in that direction.

Ke Hao's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that he would be noticed by the vigilant mutant golden eagle if he accidentally touched the spider web. Looking at the tornado blowing, Ke Hao knew that if he was caught in it, he would definitely be cut to pieces.

At the critical moment, Ke Hao calculated the surrounding routes in his mind in a flash, and his footsteps were like a wind and fire wheel, running quickly to a place more than ten meters away.

The tornado whistled past, and the sand on the ground was rolled out into a trench several meters deep and wide. The trees blocking the road were cut into sawdust by countless wind blades, and almost instantly came to the spider web.

Relying on his extraordinary performance when he was on the verge of death, Ke Hao almost brushed past the tornado. The strong wind outside even made Ke Hao unstable. The airflow brought by the subsonic wind blade cut Ke Hao's skin several meters away, leaving faint marks.

Fortunately, Ke Hao reacted quickly and the wounds were small. Ke Hao closed the capillaries in his body to prevent blood from flowing out, otherwise the bloody smell would definitely not escape the mutant beast's sensitive nose.

Roar! The black mutant giant wolf roared in dissatisfaction, and looked at the golden eagle with scarlet eyes, blaming the mutant golden eagle for making trouble and disturbing its rest.

The mutant golden eagle looked at the motionless spider web strangely, and thought that it was making a fuss, but the dignity of being a top mutant beast did not allow it to bow to mutant beasts of the same level, so it also cried loudly.

The two mutant giant wolves' hair exploded, and suddenly ran over and knocked down the towering tree where the mutant golden eagle was.

Flying away from the tree in a panic, the mutant golden eagle was also annoyed and opened its mouth to peck at the mutant giant wolf.

Soon the three mutant beasts fought in a group. Without the suppression of the mutant python, these level 3 mutant beasts were not easy to get along with. They were unwilling to obey each other, and their tempers were easily flared. This simple misunderstanding immediately turned into a small conflict.

Ke Hao, who had escaped death, was overjoyed and secretly prayed that God helped him. He quickly took advantage of the fight between the three mutant beasts and ran into the cave.

The mutant beasts were still fighting, not knowing that an uninvited guest had slipped into the cave they were guarding.
