Deviant Hunter was a profession with a high mortality rate.
The mutated creatures they faced had all kinds of powerful or strange abilities.
Therefore, before hunting, they had to be fully prepared.
Otherwise, the hunter could also become the prey.
Although Yue Heng was not a true deviant hunter, he had learned a lot from working with them in his previous life.
Aside from the original hunting bow, all thirty arrows had been modified to increase their lethality, especially their armor-piercing ability.
One arrow pierced through the mutated eagle owl's defense.
Moreover, the tail of the arrow was embedded with a GPS device.
He had also bought the GPS device from an outdoor goods store and modified it.
Then, he added three more arrows.
The GPS chip attached to these arrows matched with the app on Yue Heng's phone. Therefore, unless the mutated eagle owl could pull out the arrow by itself, it would not be able to escape the tracking.
Moreover, Yue Heng believed that it would not be able to run far!
When Yue Heng opened the GPS app, an eye-catching red dot immediately appeared on the screen.
In the beginning, the red dot was moving.
After ten seconds, it stopped moving.
Done!
Yue Heng turned on his headlamp and moved towards the coordinates indicated by the signal.
The distance on the GPS map was not far.
However, trekking through the forest at night took up a lot of time.
After nearly an hour, Yue Heng finally arrived at his destination.
This was a valley hidden in the depths of the mountains, surrounded on three sides by layers upon layers of mountain peaks.
The valley was very small and covered with a large amount of vegetation.
When Yue Heng arrived, he first noticed some blood splattered on the grass.
Following the blood trail, he quickly found his target.
The mutated eagle owl was lying on its back at the bottom of the cliff. The arrow was firmly embedded in its abdomen, and the wound caused by the Steel Golem arrow was still bleeding.
This was the terrifying part of this triangular arrowhead. Unless it was removed by surgery, there was no way to stop the bleeding.
Yue Heng raised his head and looked at the high cliff.
He estimated that the eagle owl's nest was on the cliff, but it fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss before it could reach its nest.
This saved Yue Heng a lot of trouble!
What surprised Yue Heng was that the Mutated Eagle Owl was still alive even after losing so much blood.
Its body was covered in blood, mud, and fragments of grass. It looked extremely miserable.
However, Yue Heng showed no mercy.
This mutated Eagle Owl had already become a threat to the nearby humans.
Based on Yue Heng's understanding of the mutants, it had sneaked into the military training base in the middle of the night because it wanted to eat people!
To some mutated lifeforms, humans were the most delicious food.
The foreign species also possessed a certain level of intelligence.
Previously, the Mutated Eagle Owl had appeared outside the girls' dormitory a few times. Most likely, it had taken the relatively weak girls as its prey!
After being disturbed, it attacked the retired police dogs in the base.
It could also be to eliminate potential dangers.
It sounded unbelievable.
However, mutated lifeforms were definitely not something ordinary animals could compare to.
They were ferocious, bloodthirsty, cunning, and agile …
When the light from Yue Heng's headlamp shone on the mutated eagle owl's body, Yue Heng's eyes lit up.
He noticed that this guy's head turned left and right.
Yue Heng did not hesitate at all. He immediately drew his hunting bow and shot an arrow at it.
Some mutants were good at playing dead, and some were extremely fierce when they were about to die. Therefore, no amount of caution was excessive.
A careless Mutated Hunter would not be able to go far.
After being shot a second time, the Mutated Eagle Owl only let out a low, hoarse cry.
After twitching for a while, it stopped moving.
Yue Heng shot another arrow to confirm that it was truly dead.
After a while, an orange-red ball of light flew out of the Mutated Eagle Owl's body.
It hovered about one meter above the ground.
This ball of light was about the size of an infant's fist and emitted a soft light.
A mutant!
Yue Heng could not help but be surprised.
The reason why Mutated Hunters were willing to take a huge risk to hunt mutated lifeforms was nothing more than for the sake of benefits.
Some mutants were listed as targets with high bounties because they harmed humans.
The Mutated Hunters played the role of bounty hunters.
However, in most cases, Mutated Hunters hunted mutants to obtain materials from them.
And mutants!
Many mutated lifeforms could be said to be full of treasures. Their flesh, blood, tendons, bones, skin, scales, and claws were all extremely valuable.
In the future Galaxy Era, people's research on mutated lifeforms could be said to have reached the peak.
The use of them had also reached the peak!
Apart from that, after a mutated lifeform was killed.
There was a certain probability of a mutant being 'dropped'!
Mutants were the source of power for mutated lifeforms.
It was equivalent to a Super's Stellar Source!
It was worth mentioning that no matter how a Super died, the Stellar Source would dissipate at the moment of death.
There was no possibility of it being 'dropped'.
However, this would happen to mutated lifeforms.
The reason was unexplainable.
And the xenogeneics were the real good stuff!
They could, and could only, be absorbed by Supers to strengthen themselves.
It was similar to the Heavenly Treasures in Xuanhuan Wuxia novels!
What surprised Yue Heng was that the longer a mutated lifeform evolved, the higher the probability of a mutant being dropped.
Only four months had passed since the day of Starfall.
Even if this Eagle Owl mutated on the day of Starfall, the time it took to do so was rather short.
It could actually drop a mutant.
Could it be because it was a first-generation mutated lifeform?
Yue Heng thought as he reached out to grab the mutant floating above the corpse.
Mutants could be stored for a long time.
However, Yue Heng did not have a special container to store mutants.
If there was no special container and it was not absorbed by a Super, it would dissipate within a few days.
During this period, the energy contained within the mutant would continuously dissipate, causing its grade to drop.
Therefore, the 'fresher' the mutant, the better!
Yue Heng grabbed the mutant.
It was as if he had grabbed a ball of warm jelly, and it felt very comfortable.
In the blink of an eye, the Eagle Owl mutant silently merged into Yue Heng's palm.
Yue Heng was instantly energized!
It was as if he had eaten an all-nourishing pill, and his body and mind were greatly nourished at the same time.
He felt refreshed, and his body was filled with energy. He felt as if he was floating.
At the same time, two skills lit up in Yue Heng's Stellar Source!
This made Yue Heng feel pleasantly surprised once again!
Apart from increasing one's strength, absorbing a mutant had a very small probability of triggering a Super's new skill.
This skill was closely related to the mutated lifeform that dropped the mutant.
There was a problem of compatibility.
The higher the compatibility between the mutated lifeform's ability and the Super's ability, the higher the probability of triggering a new skill, and vice versa.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, only one new skill would be triggered.
Not only did Yue Heng successfully trigger the new skill.
Furthermore, he had triggered two skills at once.
This probability was not much different from winning the lottery!
