A footprint appeared less than five meters away from the entrance of Luyan Safety House.

To be precise, it was a claw mark similar to a cat animal, but strangely, this claw mark is not a meat pad, four fingerprints, but five fingerprints!

Its width is about 8 cm. Based on this width, the owner of the claw print should be some kind of medium-sized beast, such as a cheetah, or a minor tiger.

Lu Yan was lying underground carefully observing the traces of the claw marks. He found that this strange claw mark did not only exist near the wolf skin, but was scattered around the safe house. However, the soil in other places was hard, leaving only a shallow dust mark. If you don't observe carefully, you will not be able to detect it.

Lu Yan looked at all the locations of these claw prints and found that the one closest to the entrance of the safe house was less than 50 cm!

In other words, when I was practicing bows and arrows in the safe house just now, at the entrance above my head, a hungry beast was staring at me quietly!

Lu Yan was shocked and sweated coldly.

Just now, in order to attract some sunlight into the safe house, he did not completely close the door, but opened a crack about 30 cm and pressed it against it with a wooden stick.

If the cat-like beast wants to break in, this defense will not stop it at all!

"I was still too careless. The illusion of everything going well made me relax my vigilance. I was completely unaware that the danger might be right next to me..." Lu Yan felt scared in his heart. He had previously thought that wild beasts usually would not leave their nests and wandered out when it was the hottest noon, so he relaxed a little.

At this moment, the footprints that appeared in front of him seemed to be a loud slap in the face.

Using empiricism to survive in the wilderness may be the way to die!

"Maybe the wild beast saw my bow and arrow and axe, so I didn't dare to attack it rashly, so I escaped for the time being." Lu Yan quickly calmed down. He would keep his slackness and mistakes in his heart, and the most important issue in front of him at this time was...

What exactly is that cat-like beast?

Is it still around the safe house?

"Among all the beasts of the species in nature, the cats are the strongest, almost a natural killer... With my current equipment, the success rate is too low!" Lu Yan's brain turned rapidly, thinking about how high the winning rate would be if he faced the head-on battle. Soon, he came to a conclusion.

If you and the other party are hard-steel, the result is likely to be... the cloth is pulled, the coffin is covered, and the whole village is waiting for the food!

Big table! Big table!

"We still have to figure out the types and habits of this thing first." Lu Yan touched his chin, and soon, he opened the world chat interface.

[Lu Yan: Upload a picture!]

[Lu Yan: Everyone, who can provide this kind of beast which kind of claw print belongs to? If you provide this kind of beast information, you will be grateful!]

In the World Channel, Lu Yan used a dedicated game screenshot function to clearly copy the claw prints and upload them.

Soon, a large number of responses appeared.

[Chen Nan: It looks like a leopard, but the cat animal should have only four claws and fingers touching the ground. The fifth one is a hanging finger, which should not appear on footprints...]

[Bai Jingqiu: I feel that this size may be a cougar, and the graphics are also similar!]

[Wang Musheng: Nonsense, I think it looks like an African leopard... You see, its meat pads and claws are very round. Among the cats, only African leopards have such claw marks]

【xxx: Then how do you explain the problem of five claw fingers?】

[Bai Jingqiu: Maybe it's injured? Or it's a genetic problem, and is it born with a deformity?]

【…】

【…】

There was a lot of debate in the World Channel, and finally, the player who spoke first said again:

[Chen Nan: Someone mentioned the deformity just now... I guess it may not be a gene, or a mutation! This may be a mutant beast!]

Chen Nan's speech was quickly recognized by many players.

At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly received a private chat message.

When I opened it, I saw a message sent by a player with an id of [Zhao Ruifeng].

[Zhao Ruifeng: Lu Shen, I know what this is!]

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and immediately replied: [Brother, can you provide me with all its information? I can give you 150 ml of drinking water in exchange!]

[Zhao Ruifeng: You wait!]

【Golden Pattern Lynx】

【Species: Cat subfamily, Lynx, mutation】

[Note: LV1 mutant beast has three golden stripes on its back, its front paws are huge and its toes contain muscle paralysis toxins. After being injected into the prey, the prey will have muscle stiffness in the body within fifteen minutes]

[Information: Adult body length can reach 80 cm and 25 kilograms. After targeting a certain prey, they will lurk nearby and look for opportunities to launch a sneak attack!]

[Weakness: Because huge toxin hanging fingers evolved, the reaction speed was slow, the speed was greatly reduced when running, hunting! The nerve distribution on the body was extremely dense, afraid of pain, timid, and would escape immediately after being slightly injured!]

A whole page of edited information was sent over. After reading it, Lu Yan asked: [Brother, how did you know this information?]

This cannot be blamed for Lu Yan being too suspicious. He cannot easily trust others in the wilderness. There is no harm in getting more careful.

[Zhao Ruifeng: Haha, are you still afraid that I will lie to you?]

[Zhao Ruifeng sent a picture]

It was a selfie by Zhao Ruifeng. He was holding a book similar to an album in his hand, with a few big words written on the cover...

"Monster Illustration"!

[Zhao Ruifeng: This is what I got from opening a treasure chest today. It records in detail the habits and identification methods of most wild beasts and mutant beasts.]

[Lu Yan: Brother, is this thing sold?]

[Zhao Ruifeng: Sorry, I'm going to use it for myself!]

The acquisition failed, Lu Yan touched his chin, and then quickly entered the private chat interface: [I will now trade 150 ml of drinking water for you, please make sure]

[Zhao Ruifeng: No, I don’t need this little water now... This information is for free, just be a friend! You are so famous now, maybe I have something to ask you for in the future! Haha!]

After saying this, Zhao Ruifeng directly interrupted the private chat interface, and Lu Yan took the initiative to chat with the other party in private again, and the other party no longer responded.

What is this doing?

Do you want to ow him a favor?

Lu Yan smiled helplessly. Compared to human relationships, he still prefers direct transactions. After all, human debt is difficult to repay, and sometimes even has to save half of his life...

"But... Is it worth taking the initiative to make friends now?" Lu Yan recalled what Zhao Ruifeng said just now, pondered for a moment, quickly climbed to the top of the mound of the safe house, and carefully observed the surroundings.

The mutated lynx... Once it targets a certain prey, it will lurk nearby, looking for opportunities for sneak attacks.

Lu Yan looked around.

Mounds, sand pits, groves...

Lu Yan's eyes swept over and found no abnormalities.

Suddenly, Lu Yan's gaze stopped.
