If it was just the information provided by the female assassin, it would not be credible.

However, whether it is Lin Shuo's "Hearing the Wind and Identifying the Position" or Anne's "Listening to the Mountains and Knowing the Way", they all point to the final destination of this trip to the inner city of this underground ancient city.

So although the four-person team is already sleepy at present, it seems that it is almost the last trembling, so it is natural to rush to the inner city non-stop.

"I took the History of World Architecture as an elective when I was in college. Anne said at this time, "At present, the layout of this ancient city is indeed very similar to that of Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty. If this is the case, the walls of this city should have three floors. ”

"Oh, in addition to the outer and inner walls, there is another?" Wei Xingshan asked curiously.

"Hmm. "There's also a ring around the Imperial City. The outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city, it stands to reason that this is the case. ”

"That's fine. Wei Xingshan said, "I happened to bring three packs* on this trip, one bag around the city wall, which is very fair." ”

"Old Wei, this is a monument. Lin Shuo said, "This is called human history and cultural heritage, your three bundles of cannons, each sound will bring hundreds of millions of losses to the country, don't you feel distressed?"

"Pull it down. Wei Xingshan glanced at Lin Shuo, "You can't read the compass? This is the underground of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and it does not belong to our China." ”

"That's not necessarily, the entrance is now on our Chinese side, and we Chinese discovered it, talk slowly with Maozi." Lin Shuo said, "According to the current situation, it's hard to say who belongs here." ”

"Then it should be fried, it must be fried. Wei Xingshan pursed his lips, "The ghost knows what moths are near the city gate, our lives are worth more than these broken bricks." ”

"Li'er is this Li'er. Lin Shuo nodded, "But don't do this kind of bombing the wall, I'll do it." ”

"Lao Lin. Wei Xingshan heard that something was wrong, he stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Shuo didn't answer, but also stopped, and took out a pack of paper cigarettes from his jacket pocket.

There were still the last three cigarettes left, and Lin Shuo gave Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo one each.

Wei Xingshan naturally took the cigarette, Yang Tuo was stunned, and took it.

After walking for more than ten hours on the mountain road, after entering the city, it was another toss, Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo were really tired.

At this time, a cigarette, as long as you can smoke, can't resist this temptation.

The three men lit cigarettes, sat down on the side of the road, and began to swallow the clouds.

At this time, Anne found that the cigarette butt between Lin Shuo's fingers was trembling slightly.

She didn't shine a flashlight on Lin Shuo's face, but she knew that his face must be pale now.

Among these people, she is the only one who will know about Lin Shuo's abnormal performance.

He should have remembered the past of Kunlun Mountain six years ago.

It was like a lingering nightmare for him, although he usually covered it up well.

Lin Shuo's sense of smell is far beyond ordinary people, which is of course an advantage, but there is also a disadvantage.

That is the memory that the sense of smell brings to him, which is far deeper than the other senses, and far more able to break through his mental defenses than other senses.

And at this time, being able to make him have this kind of reaction can only show one thing.

The hooked snake is actually very close.

The smell of this strange creature was strong enough to sting Lin Shuo's memories and bring him back to that terrible night six years ago.

Anne sat silently beside Lin Shuo, although she was exquisite, she was not a psychiatrist after all.

Even if she is a psychiatrist, with Lin Shuo's temperament, she should not cooperate with the treatment.

The only thing she could do at this moment was to sit next to Lin Shuo and gently lean on his shoulder.

Leaning on this slightly, with her far beyond ordinary perception, she could clearly feel that although Lin Shuo was not shocked on the surface at this moment, in fact, his whole body was trembling.

His muscles were tense all over his body, and he was clearly overcoming the tremor.

Except for Anne at this moment, Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo were each smoking cigarettes, unaware of Lin Shuo's abnormality.

Among them, Yang Tuo spat out a puff of cigarette and asked softly, "Mr. Lin, can't I move forward anymore?"

"Hmm. Lin Shuo responded, "I can only send you here." ”

"Good. Yang Tuo didn't insist on anything, but said, "Can I ask Mr. Lin for something?"

"Please. ”

"If they're alive, bring them back. Yang Tuo said.

"I tried my best. Lin Shuo nodded.

"Lao Lin, aren't you at ease?" Wei Xingshan said with a big grin, "Lao Yang, don't worry. I'll find a place to hide around here in a moment. ”

"Old Wei, you also stay. Lin Shuo said.

"Huh, I'll stay too?"

"Yes, including Miss Anne, you all stay. Lin Shuo added.

Anne was slightly stunned, and immediately understood Lin Shuo's intentions.

The female assassin's whereabouts are unknown, and the possibility of her going back cannot be ruled out.

If only Yang Tuo and Wei Xingshan were left here, it would be too dangerous.

You'd better stay and protect them.

However, instead of staying to protect the two, Anne actually preferred to go with Lin Shuo.

The strength of the hooked snake, she knows something, she is afraid that Lin Shuo will have any accidents alone.

Anne then said, "Mr. Lin, as long as I set up the 'Draw Prison', that female assassin should not pose a threat to Team Wei and Dr. Yang." I'd better go with you. ”

"No, I can't. Lin Shuo shook his head, "Actually, compared to Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo, it is more troublesome for you to go." ”

"Why is that?" Anne asked curiously, "don't you trust me?"

"It's not a question of trust or distrust. Lin Shuo said, "Let me ask you, according to your understanding, why is the hooked snake so strong?"

Anne suppressed the doubts in her heart and answered, "Because it is currently the largest and most powerful strange creature, it is infinitely powerful, invulnerable, and its attack method is different from other snakes, and its speed is very fast. ”

"If you had answered that six years ago, it would have been true. Lin Shuo said slowly, "When we went to Kunlun Mountain six years ago, we also thought so, and as a result, you already know. ”

"What do you mean...... Hooked snakes are more than that?" Anne asked.

"Until now, I have not been able to confirm that the Hooked Snake has this new ability. But I can't help but be on guard. Lin Shuo said.

"What the hell is the ability?"

"The ability to disturb people's hearts. Lin Shuo said.

"What, a hooked snake can disturb people's hearts?" Anne was taken aback.

"Yes. Lin Shuo nodded, "Otherwise, do you think that with the configuration of our hunter team six years ago, I will be the only one left alive?"

It stands to reason that among the six families of the Hunting Gate, as long as they can form a team, one plus one will always be greater than two.

In that team, my father, Brother Zhang, and me, the three of us all have the ability to kill the hook snake alone, but when we work together, the effect is not as good as one person.

Don't you think it's weird?

If you think about it, why is that? ”

Anne listened to Lin Shuo's words and quickly figured it out.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of pathos in her heart.

She finally understood why Lin Shuo's tenacious mind still suffered so much trauma six years ago.

The hunter team suffered heavy casualties because the hunters' minds were disturbed and they fell into cannibalism.

And Lin Shuo is the only survivor.

Among the dead were his father and Zhang Lianhai, who was also his teacher and friend.

He really came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.

That night, just by imagining it, Anne felt chills all over her body, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.

She couldn't bear to say her speculation, because it would further sting Lin Shuo.

At the same time, she also understood the reason why Lin Shuo didn't let herself go.

Dealing with such a strange creature as the hooked snake, the hunter must be fully concentrated, and once distracted, there will be no bones left.

If it was Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo, the two of them were not strong, once their minds were disturbed, Lin Shuo would be able to control it at once, and the situation might be saved.

And if she herself gets out of control, it's going to be in trouble.

"So, you can't go. Lin Shuo knew that Anne understood, and continued, "The safest way to deal with this hooked snake now is one-on-one. ”

"How far away is it from us now?" Anne asked.

"Less than ten kilometers. Lin Shuo said, "With its size and speed, this is already very close. ”

Anne thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lin, I think, I need to follow you. ”

"Why?" Lin Shuo asked with a frown.

"Just because I'm a hunter too. "I would like to reintroduce myself to you." ”
