After everyone had gone, Jin Xiaoman hung upside down from the tree branch, two leaves still stuck to her head: "Are you two sure you're not coming with me and my brother, but choosing to go it alone?"

"Loves wearing princess dresses" and "Little Fish, Swim Fast" nodded in unison: "Confirmed."

Jin Xiaoman pursed her lips, knowing that the two had a little secret, so she didn't bother them: "Okay, one of the weapons I gave you is a firework shell. If you encounter danger, send out a signal and we will come immediately."

After confirming that Jin Xiaoman and number 2775 had indeed left, Ai Chuan Princess Dress, arm in arm with Xiaoyu Xiaoyu Swimming Fast, covered her mouth and giggled, then chased after them in the direction indicated by Xiaoyunduo.

........

When Jin Xiaoman caught up with number 2775, he had already hunted down four level-three mutated beasts.

What's puzzling is that no clues have been revealed yet.

Jin Xiaoman looked at the corpses lying on the ground and turned them over with her spear: "Brother, besides radiation level, is body size also one of the conditions?"

"you mean?"

Jin Xiaoman pointed to the wild boar on the ground: "Although it is also a level three radiation mutant beast, its size is not much different from that of wild boars on our Blue Star."

"But in survival games, even those with a level 1 radiation mutation will grow to three to five times their normal size."

Number 2775: "Indeed, of all the creatures we've fought our way through, only that spider's size is abnormal."

Jin Xiaoman took a prop out of her backpack.

[Decoy Ball: Grade A Item]

Instructions for use: It can automatically simulate the scents that mutant beasts like, thereby attracting them to approach.

Scope of application: Within a radius of five kilometers.

Jin Xiaoman placed the props, squatted down and covered them with a pile of dry leaves, while number 2775 set up a trap around the bait ball.

After finishing everything, the two quietly hid in the tree, waiting for the mutated beast to arrive.

A minute later, a rhinoceros came running with somewhat hurried steps, following the scent.

It was a level 3 radiation, but the size was wrong. I sniped it with one shot, number 2775.

Two more wild boars then approached. One of them triggered a trap and died on the spot, while the other was sniped by Jin Xiaoman.

As time went on, more and more mutated beasts were attracted by the decoy ball. They were all kinds of creatures, some flying in the sky and some running on the ground. There was even a mutated beast with level 4 radiation in the middle, but still no clues were revealed.

Jin Xiaoman jumped down from the tree, put away the bait ball, and the two moved to a different spot to rearrange the bait.

Just like the first time, as soon as the decoy ball was activated, a mutated beast came huffing and puffing excitedly.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

Jin Xiaoman had already switched her weapon from a sniper rifle to Eris's crossbow. In the current situation, compared to a sniper rifle that can only fire one bullet at a time, a crossbow that can fire three or even ten arrows at once is the better choice.

Just as she drew back her bowstring, aiming at the three mutated beasts to kill them, number 2775 grabbed her wrist: "Something's not right."

Jin Xiaoman put down the crossbow and looked at the mutated beast horde.

After being alerted by number 2775, Jin Xiaoman looked over and realized that the herd of beasts did indeed seem to have some problems.

Compared to the mutated beast in the first position, they were a bit more cautious, not at the decoy ball, but at their surroundings.

Thinking back to the first spider they killed, these mutated beasts seemed to be on its menu.

The two allowed the mutated beasts to trample the traps, remaining still as long as they were a safe distance from the bait ball.

A small rabbit nimbly weaved through the mutated beast herd, using the large, clumsy mutated beasts to clear a path for it.

It passed through two of the three traps without sustaining a single injury.

After a bison cleared the last layer of traps for it, it leaped forward with its hind legs, aiming at the pile of dead leaves burying the bait ball.

Jin Xiaoman subconsciously drew back the crossbow bolt, preparing to finish off the rabbit in mid-air to prevent it from harming the bait ball, when a dark shadow darted out from the corner, and a long segmented limb pierced through the rabbit's body.

The corrosive venom flowed into the rabbit's body through the wound. In a short while, the rabbit's body softened completely, and the dark shadow's abdomen rose and fell rhythmically as it slowly absorbed the dissolved corpse.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding mutated beasts, whether they were blind in one eye or lame, as long as they could still move, all scattered in a panic, leaving only some dying beasts, wailing helplessly.

The dark shadow was actually a large black spider with a body height of seventy centimeters. What was even more surprising was that it was just a level two mutated beast.

Jin Xiaoman and number 2775 looked at each other, both understanding each other's thoughts.

Their previous description of the mutant beasts that could provide clues was that they were mutant beasts with radiation levels of three or higher and whose bodies had undergone obvious mutations.

Based on the current situation, whether or not clues can be revealed is probably unrelated to the radiation level; however, final confirmation is still needed.

Having worked side-by-side for so long, the two of them devised a plan without needing to say a word.

Jin Xiaoman leaped down from the tree, her long spear plunging fiercely into the spider's black shell.

Spider, in pain, struggled to shake off Jin Xiaoman. Jin Xiaoman took out a tracking device from her backpack, inserted it into the wound, stabbed herself twice more, and then disappeared into the woods, dragging the rope left behind by number 2775.

The spider was in a fit of impotent rage. That despicable two-legged creature had ambushed it, hurting it from its unreachable back, stabbing it a few times, and then disappearing.

Although the injury was not fatal, it was extremely humiliating.

It roared to the sky, turning its grief and anger into a voracious appetite. After devouring most of the mutated beasts on the ground in one gulp, its eyes darted around and it crawled off in one direction.

Seeing the spider leave its original spot, Jin Xiaoman quickly followed, while number 2775 stayed behind, continuing to use the bait ball to attract the mutated beast closer.

After running at high speed for nearly twenty minutes, the spider led Jin Xiaoman to a cave entrance.

The entrance to the cave is wide, but there is no dense weeds, the kind of vegetation most commonly found in forests, indicating that something frequently enters and exits from here.

Without pausing, the spider burrowed into its hole.

Jin Xiaoman used an invisibility talisman and then jumped in.

The entrance is a structure perpendicular to the ground, about three meters high, and inside it connects to a dark, slanted passage that extends downwards.

Jin Xiaoman followed the spider closely, using the location tracking system. The passage gradually widened, reaching a height of ten meters and a width of fifteen meters.

Even if it were ten times the size of that level-three radiated spider, it could move freely here.

However, this is not good news for Jin Xiaoman.

Normally, the burrows of creatures like spiders are not very large, usually related to their body size.

The fact that the passage is so wide now can only mean that the spiders inside are much larger than she imagined.
