Chapter 86 Adjudication
The impact of the huge wave hit Lin Shuo mercilessly.
But he didn't care at all, he only cared if the woman in his arms was still alive.
After the waves receded, Lin Shuo's nose twitched, and he finally smelled the breath of life.
Although this breath was extremely weak, it was enough to make him breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
The woman is not dead, she is still alive.
As Anne's breath inhaled into her nose, the smell of the hooked snake also stimulated Lin Shuo's nerves.
The smell reminded him that things weren't over yet.
However, Lin Shuo didn't do it immediately, but picked up Anne horizontally, walked back into the passage cautiously, and placed her in place.
After examining her wounds, Lin Shuo found that the woman had been hit by a sword in the shoulder. The sword burrowed under her lute bone, less than half an inch from her heart and lungs.
Although he was not hit, this amount of bleeding was enough to kill people.
In a hurry, Lin Shuo had no other choice but to take off his shirt, make a tourniquet tie into a tie, and tie it firmly on her shoulders.
With his upper body naked, Lin Shuo walked out of the passage with his chaser in his hand.
I saw that after the big waves, the movement of the lake was much calmer than before.
It seems that the battle between the hooked snake and the snake at the bottom of the lake is gradually coming to an end.
A black shadow on the water quickly swept out and began to hover over Lin Shuo's head.
"Brother Shuo, the Dragon King is almost unbearable. Hachi said quickly as he flew, "Have you solved it here?"
"Hmm. Lin Shuo answered, and ran to the lake in three or two steps.
"What's wrong with my mother-in-law?" Hachi asked again.
"I passed out. Lin Shuo Zhengse said, "She won't last long, we have to fight quickly." ”
"Good. But this woman is really unsightly. Xiaoba said, "Seeing that our brothers are about to show their might, she fainted, it's a pity." Brother Shuo, let's take her with us next time we buy and sell. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's coming!" Lin Shuo said as he spoke, but his eyes kept staring at the water.
At this moment, the surface of the lake, which had gradually subsided, began to boil again.
Lin Shuo didn't think about it, and left the place in an instant and retreated to the entrance of the passage.
"Bang!" a huge tail of black and red slammed into the shore, and the rubble flew for a while.
The hooked snake has this name because it has its whole body, and the hardest part is the tail.
The tail is pointed like a hook and shaped like a giant scorpion tail.
However, the scorpion's tail is used to sting, and the hooked snake's tail is used to pierce and hook the prey and drag it back, which is its hunting method.
For Lin Shuo, a top hunter of the six major families of the Hunting Gate, the terrifying thing about the hooked snake is its hunting method.
When attacking, it shrinks into a ball and then catapults its tail like a spring, which is extremely fast.
Moreover, this hooked snake is huge in size and has a very long attack range.
Without pre-prediction, there is no time to dodge with the speed of human reactions.
That's why he's been so cautious before.
This time, Lin Shuo was able to dodge the hooked snake's attack because it was in the water, and when its tail hit, the water was rapidly stirred, allowing Lin Shuo to discover the call.
After this blow, the hooked snake in the lake finally began to emerge from the water.
The huge and hideous snake head rose rapidly, and finally almost reached the dome, and then looked at Lin Shuo condescendingly.
Lin Shuo also looked at it.
It's been six years, and when this day really came, Lin Shuo found that he was actually very calm.
The psychological trauma that plagued him before not only did not make him tremble at this moment, but made his mind extremely calm.
Six years ago, the hunter team on Kunlun Mountain was a team of more than 30 people, but in fact, because of their different purposes, they were subdivided into several teams.
For example, the Su family hunter team led by the two brothers Su Tongji and Su Tongdu, they were trained by the ancestors of the Su family to witness the robbery of the hooked snake.
There are also other hunter squads that are not from the Big Six. They want to obtain the keel wrench and fight for the status of the hunter on an equal footing with the six masters.
In their eyes, in the past few decades, the six families have suffered accidents, and the people have withered, and it is time to replenish fresh blood.
Only the team of Lin Leshan, Lin Shuo, and Zhang Lianhai went to Kunlun Mountain in order to find the whereabouts of Lin Shuo's mother Yun Yuexin. Among them, Zhang Lianhai was able to follow Lin Le Mountain to Kunlun, purely because of the generational friendship between Lin Zhang's two families.
That night, several hunter teams gathered under the highest mountain peak in Kunlun, and these more than thirty people all had unique skills, and their skills were at least the quasi-first-class level in the hunting gate. Among them, there are many top hunters such as Lin Leshan, Zhang Lianhai, and Su Tongji, as well as Lin Shuo, who was known as the first person under the age of 20 in the door at that time.
Although everyone has different demands, and they can't talk about harmony, they are all hunters, their ideas do not conflict, and they are afraid of each other's skills, so they are naturally safe and sound.
And that night, when everyone was watching the hooked snake on the mountain bathing in the thunder, a change suddenly occurred.
In the flickering light of lightning, these thirty hunters began to kill each other.
With their strength, this kind of cannibalism took an extremely short time, and soon the scene was terrible.
Lin Shuo was dazed for a while, and when he woke up, he found that in addition to himself, only his father Lin Leshan, his brother-in-law Zhang Lianhai, and Su Tongji of the Su family were alive on the field.
These four people are indeed the four strongest people.
At that time, Zhang Lianhai was still fighting with Su Tongji, "not moving the knife" to "big cutting", and soon the two were killed and seriously injured. Su Tongji was beheaded off, and Zhang Lianhai lost two arms.
And it was at that time that the Hooked Snake attacked from the mountains.
The indestructible tail bounced down the mountain in an instant, piercing Lin Leshan's chest.
That picture, as well as the smell of that moment, was deeply engraved into Lin Shuo's mind and became a lingering nightmare for him in the past six years.
At this moment, Lin Shuo still remembers that picture clearly.
The hooked snake is his father-killing enemy.
He didn't care if the Hooked Snake was controlled at the time or what, since it did it, it couldn't live.
Lin Shuo has a chasing master in his hand, and the hooked snake has a tail.
Both sides have the ability to kill the other with a single blow.
The duel between Lin Shuo and the hooked snake is more like two hunters in the dark forest, seeing who discovers each other first and can fire a shot in advance.
And now, both sides are exposed to each other's eyes.
This person and snake began to confront each other.
Obviously, the hooked snake at this time was very dissatisfied with Lin Shuo hiding in the passage.
The passage mouth was too small for it to stick the barb of its tail in.
Lin Shuo was also a little dissatisfied with the hooked snake's current posture.
Because he can't see the point of it.
The scales of the hooked snake are extremely hard all over the body, and the whole body is protected by these scales.
Unless it has just finished molting and the hardness of the scales on its body is not enough, even if it is chasing the master, it will not be able to kill it with one blow.
And this hooked snake, the last time it molted was seven years ago, and it is impossible to molt again in recent decades.
So at this time, the hooked snake is actually not very harmful.
But in the early morning of more than half a month ago, when the hooked snake attacked the camp, Lin Shuo once removed a scale from the top of the hooked snake's head with an arrow.
In the next few decades, until its first molt is complete, the scales will not grow any longer, and the palm-sized area exposed underneath is actually its key point.
But the current posture of the hooked snake is not visible to Lin Shuo in the gap above his head.
Even if he saw it, he couldn't shoot it with Chaye, because its head was too high, and there was a stone dome on it, and there was no shooting angle at all.
Although Lin Shuo was very calm at the moment, he also knew that it would not work to drag on like this.
Anne, who was lying flat in the passage behind her, was too badly injured and had to end the fight as soon as possible and take her to heal, or she could die at any moment.
"Little Eight!" Lin Shuo shouted, "Do it!"
"Okay!" the starling bird responded, and then swept away, flying to the side of the hooked snake's head.
Its wings fluttered, allowing it to be almost frozen in mid-air, and then the starling beaked out:
"Whoa!"
A chirp came from its mouth.
This cry is exactly the same as when Xiaoba summoned the white bird before, others don't know the doorway, but Lin Shuo couldn't be clearer.
This kind of cry is the cry of the strange creature in ancient times, Cangluan.
Cangluan, also known as Qingluan, feeds on hooked snakes and is the natural enemy of hooked snakes.
However, two thousand years ago, Cangluan became extinct, and the hooked snake was flooded, and the hunters ran around, and it took hundreds of years to finally kill the hooked snake, leaving only Kunlun Mountain.
This hooked snake survived because of its huge size and strange appearance, which was believed to have the sign of turning into a dragon.
But no matter how big it is and how peculiar it looks, it is also a hooked snake.
In fact, with the current size of this hooked snake, Cangluan is no longer its opponent, but the fear of the natural enemy Cangluan is engraved into its genes.
After Hachi's chirp, there was obvious fear in the hooked snake's eyes.
This is one of the important functions of Hachi in battle, which can imitate the cry of ancient fierce birds when hunting, and deter the current prey.
The hooked snake was startled by this cry, and subconsciously tilted his head away from where Hachi was.
And Hachi is behind it, and the hooked snake's head is tilted forward.
The gap above its head was revealed!
Lin Shuo and Xiao Ba have long had a tacit understanding, and when Xiao Ba was crying here, he had already finished drawing the bow and arrows.
He stood on the ground with his right foot, raised his left foot high and stepped on the bow body of Chaiye, holding the bowstring with both hands, stretching his body sideways, waist strength, leg strength, and arm strength in one, and propping the recurve bow to a full bow.
The right shoulder shook slightly, and the arrow, which was thick in the arm, was already on the bow.
Aim......
Shoot!
The arrow disappeared in front of Lin Shuo, and appeared on the hooked snake's head in an instant.
The arrow avoided the scales of the hooked snake's body, and only stabbed into the hooked snake's head along the slap-sized gap.
"Click!"
On the other side of the snake's head, a scale was lifted from the inside by an arrow, like an open mussel, halfway open, and the arrow was forced to stop.
But this kind of forced stoppage is only a physical phenomenon, and it is biologically meaningless.
Because the head of the hooked snake has been pierced by this arrow, its central nervous system has been destroyed.
As if the building had collapsed, the huge size of the hooked snake fell to the surface of the water.
This time, the huge waves were even higher than the last time, and the mountains and seas were like surging away like stone walls on both sides.
But Lin Shuo didn't dodge, because he calculated the landing point and knew that the waves would go to both sides and would not hit him.
There was a loud bang, and the huge head of the hooked snake smashed on the stone bricks on the shore in front of Lin Shuo.
Although its whole body was no longer able to move, its amber eyes were still staring directly at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo also looked directly at it:
"See clearly, I killed you. ”
"From now on, there will be no more hooked snakes in this world. ”
