Lin Shuo and Anne passed through the inner city as fast as they could, and came to the city walls of the imperial city.

After using it twice*, this time they chose to enter through the gates of the Imperial City, as the Imperial City did not have an Urn City mechanism.

Lin Shuo flew up and kicked open the gate of the imperial city with a bang.

The huge movement is no less than the previous two uses of Wei Xingshan*.

In the dust, the huge and majestic palace complex was displayed in front of the two of them.

The biggest difference between this and the outer city and the inner city is not the buildings with significant height differences, but the light.

The light source was unstable, obviously not an electric light, but a candle flame or something.

After a long period of moving in the dark, the lights in front of you have a natural attraction to people.

Lin Shuo and Anne kept walking, and soon entered the palace.

The breath of the hooked snake is getting closer and closer.

As the distance got closer and closer, the more Lin Shuo had a better grasp of its exact location.

At this time, he was already convinced that the hiding place of the hooked snake was not in the palace, but under the palace.

Directly below the center of this dragon city, there is obviously a cave.

As she walked, Anne shook her whole body and walked slightly.

Her abnormality was naturally noticed by Lin Shuo.

"How are you?" Lin Shuo stopped and turned his head to look at the beautiful woman beside him.

At this time, what can make Anne have this reaction is nothing but the ability of the hooked snake.

With a wave of her hand, Anne pulled out the porcelain bottle containing the soothing reel, unplugged the stopper, and poured the powder into her mouth in one gulp.

Lin Shuo watched her quietly, thinking that he must be unable to suppress his nerves, and he did the same as he did with a lumberjack, and removed the joints of her limbs.

After a short pause, Anne finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Just now I was suddenly in front of me and almost lost consciousness. I didn't expect the range of this hooked snake to be so large. ”

And at this time, a faint smell around aroused Lin Shuo's vigilance at the same time.

Lin Shuo said, "Wait a minute. ”

After saying this, Lin Shuo fell silent, carefully distinguishing the smell in the air here.

The flavour is extremely light, a mixture of animal fats and herbs.

This animal fat, he probably didn't smell it for the first time, just recently.

Lin Shuo suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

By the way, it's a rayfish.

The first time the army crossed the chain bridge, the huge fish flew by, and this was the smell of it.

And this herb ......

That's right, it's the smell of grass that Lin Shuo smelled when they first entered Dragon City. I can't name it, but it's everywhere.

In Lin Shuo's nasal cavity, in addition to these two smells, there was also an even more imperceptible fragrance, which was spreading everywhere in the imperial city.

The odor factor of this fragrance is obviously very light, it can float very far, and it is almost odorless, if it weren't for the source of the smell here, Lin Shuo really couldn't smell it.

These three scents, along with the scent of the hooked snake and the snake snake, account for a huge proportion of all the scents here.

The smell of fish, herbs, hooked snakes, and snakes, according to Lin Shuo's experience, does not have any effect on people's sanity.

Then the problem may be the faint fragrance.

"Follow me. ”

"Hmm. ”

Following this smell, Lin Shuo took Anne to push open a palace door and walked into a palace.

The interior of the palace is very spacious, with sconces on all four walls, and the wicks are soaked in a kind of grease that glows faintly.

The brightness of this palace lamp is much brighter than that of ordinary candles, and there is almost an oil lamp in five steps here, so the interior of the palace is very bright.

And these oil lamps are also the light that Lin Shuo and the others saw from afar when they just entered the inner city.

Following the smell in his nose, Lin Shuo walked to an oil lamp and dipped his fingers in some lamp oil on the lampstand.

This lamp oil is an animal fat that solidifies into a ball and is slightly green in color, looking like a lump of green mustard.

Sniffing it in front of his nose, Lin Shuo confirmed that this lamp oil was made from a mixture of fish oil and the herbs here.

Of course, there are some other substances in it, but these are the main ingredients.

And that extremely faint fragrance is the smell of this lamp oil after it is burned.

"You feel it, isn't this thing? Lin Shuo looked at Anne beside him.

"Can't you feel it yourself?" said Anne was a little surprised.

"I don't invade all kinds of poisons. Lin Shuo looked a little helpless.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Looking at Lin Shuo's expression, Anne became even more strange.

"Because of the cultivation of our body, our Lin family hunters have actually grown up soaking in medicine jars since we were children, and we are already immune to most poisons. I seem to be exaggerating a little more, and psychotropic drugs don't work for me. Lin Shuo said, "This is not necessarily a good thing, for example, I can't use painkillers." Because of this unfortunate characteristic, I have been guilty of a lot since I was a child. ”

Anne understood, and she nodded, "Then I'll try." ”

As she spoke, Anne leaned closer to the light and took a deep breath.

Soon, an oncoming darkness enveloped her, and she felt that her body was falling towards some abyss.

When she came back to her senses, Anne suddenly found that she had eight black hairpins between her fingers on her hands!

A ball of xenomorph silk is being held by her on the black glove!

This is exactly the starting style of the Su family hunters.

This stunt, called "big cutting", is the Su family's trick to press the bottom of the box.

At that time, when the mentor taught Anne to Anne on behalf of her parents, he warned her that this trick should be used with caution if it is either dead or disabled.

And himself, in a flash, used it inexplicably!

And the target of the attack was actually Lin Shuo next to him!

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Shuo had already pinched Anne's two wrists, so that her hands could not be separated.

The man's hands were large, and he did this with one hand, and his other hand was already on Anne's shoulder.

"If you wake up any later, I'll have to take your arm off. Lin Shuo saw Anne's suddenly awakened expression, let go and said, "The six hunters have teamed up, and the Zhang family wants to protect the lives of the three hunters of Cao, Miao, and Yun, but your Su family can let it go." Because you have this 'big cut.'" Within a foot close, your Su family hunter is the living Hades King, I don't dare to hold it up. ”

"What's wrong with me?" Anne blushed as she quickly brushed her hands over her long hair, hiding the xenomorph silk back in her hair.

"I inhaled too much at once, and I was confused. Lin Shuo said, "I've already started to attack me, but fortunately I'm guarding against you." ”

"I'm sorry. Anne hastened to apologize.

"It's fine. Lin Shuo shook his head, and then looked at the oil lamp beside the two of them, "It seems that it can't be wrong, it's this thing that makes a ghost." This lamp oil and wick are probably problematic. Once burned together, it releases hallucinogenic gases that affect the human mind. ”

"Judging from the performance of the lumberjack just now, the people affected by it will not attack their companions, but will only find people who are not affected. Anne was scared.

"Yes, it's like zombies. They don't attack each other, they only attack aliens. Lin Shuo nodded.

"Mr. Lin, in this case, the hooked snake actually doesn't have the ability to mind control, and it's actually this oil lamp that works?" Anne asked.

"It may or may not be. Lin Shuo frowned slightly, "I don't feel this kind of oil lamp at all, but on Kunlun Mountain six years ago, even I was in a short trance. ”

"Maybe it's because you're the first time you've been exposed to it and you don't have any antibodies in your body?" Anne speculated.

Lin Shuo shook his head: "Another point is, if they were all confused at that time, why did they do it to each other? You also saw the situation of the lumberjacks just now, they don't do it with each other. ”

"Could it be that some of them are being confused, and others are just protecting themselves?" Anne asked.

"I don't know. It was raining so hard that I couldn't see anything clearly, and I was confused for a while. Lin Shuo smiled bitterly, "But no matter what, it can only be explained like this at present." ”

"Hmm. Anne exclaimed, "This thing is horrible. ”

"yes. Lin Shuo sighed, "What's even more terrifying is that whether it was Kunlun Mountain six years ago, or someone today lit these oil lamps one step ahead of us, it shows that the technology of this oil lamp has been mastered." I don't know how many people will be poisoned by this thing in the future. ”

Anne's heart was heavy, "So what are we going to do?"

Lin Shuo shook his head: "This matter is not something that we can solve now, let's wait for us to come out of the hooked snake's lair alive." ”

"Mr. Lin, have you found the lair of the hooked snake?"

"See?" Lin Shuo followed the scent of the hooked snake and pointed to the depths of the hall.

Under the light of the zombie oil lamp, Anne saw a magnificent dragon chair in the depths of the main hall.

This dragon chair is golden as a whole, seems to be made of pure gold, and is very large in size, enough for one person to lie flat.

The dragon chair is surrounded by a fence carved from mutton fat jade on all sides, and there are steps below. The carpet on the steps was covered with gold, apparently mixed with gold wire.

Just looking at this dragon chair, Anne feels that kind of royal style, even after hundreds of years, she can really experience it.

"The Hooked Snake's lair is just under this dragon chair. Lin Shuo said at this time.
