Chapter 118: Little Eight Returns

When Lin Shuo and others entered the mountains, it was the late autumn season in the Altai Mountains.

Late autumn, for the flora and fauna in the mountains, means two diametrically opposed states of life.

At this time, most of the plants have finished flowering and fruiting, the branches and leaves are yellow and falling, reducing the emission of water, and life enters a quiet period to survive the coming winter.

Animals, on the other hand, are the busiest time of the year, as they need to frantically forage for food and store enough fat in their bodies to keep out the cold and burn in the winter.

Spring hunting, summer seedlings, autumn hunting, and winter hunting refer to the hunting actions of ancient nobles throughout the year, which are not for survival, but to show martial arts.

For civilians, the best season for hunting is late autumn, because the prey at this time is the fattest.

The inheritance hunters represented by Lin Shuo do not hunt for their own survival, but they are almost the same as ordinary hunters in terms of seasonality.

The best season to go into the mountains to eliminate pests is also in late autumn.

Because animals, like people, are hungry and lazy. When you're full, you'll be less aggressive and less vigilant, and it's a good time to kill them.

But this time, even if it is Lin Shuo, don't look at the steady pace in the mountains and forests at the moment, he looks calm, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.

Because all of the above is "in general".

And this "Mountain Yama King", no one knows what it is, and no one knows what its characteristics are.

Everything is unknown.

The unknown is humanity's greatest fear, because it means that there is no plan for action.

Without a plan, it means that every step of the hunting team's progress at this moment is a gamble.

And every gambling is two sides of the coin, one side is alive and the other side is dead.

So in this case, the Lin family, as the highest combat power in the team, cannot lead the way, but can only be the queen.

The other hunters in front of the Lin family, although they all have special skills, are actually fault-tolerant.

Every time a hunter dies, he can buy a little time for the Lin family, or exchange it for some instant information.

Before the hunters in front of them die, whether the Lin family can kill this prey or not will determine the final success or failure of this hunting team.

Therefore, the core of the hunting team must be the Lin family, and the one who leads the way in front must also be the Zhang family.

The reason is very simple, because often as the second combat force in the team, the Zhang family is the least likely of the other hunters to be killed in seconds, and they can buy the Lin family the longest time and provide the most information.

This is when the six hunters enter the mountain, the rules of the team's standing have been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

It's just that this time I went into the mountain and handed over the responsibility of opening the road to Zhang Jin, who had just turned eighteen, which was undoubtedly an adventure.

Lin Shuo has tried Zhang Jin's skills, his foundation is very solid, his talent is very good, and in time, he will not be under Zhang Lianhai.

But he has a fatal flaw - he can't communicate with other hunters in words.

This means that he leads the way in front of him, which can only be used as a barrier, and hardly as an information point.

Therefore, since Lin Shuo entered the mountain, eighty percent of his attention has been on Zhang Jin.

He had to ignore Zhang Jin's spicy-eyed shroud, familiarize himself with Zhang Jin's movement habits as soon as possible, and read his body language.

These actions of Zhang Xing, which are his personal habits and unconscious, and which are on-the-spot responses, are informative.

This kind of screening is not simple, plus he also has to pay attention to the intricate smell information in the mountains and forests, so this first day, Lin Shuo almost flawlessly took care of everything else, and passed unconsciously.

On the first day of the hunter team's journey, they had walked into the mountain before, and there was nothing abnormal, so everyone concentrated on hurrying.

The forest here is not low in altitude, and it is almost winter. During the day, the forest is not so dense, and the sun shines on me from time to time, which is quite warm.

Once the sun goes down at night, the low temperature in the mountains can kill.

The people hurriedly found a leeward halfway up the mountain, raised the bonfire, and then set up the tent, and sat down by the campfire, which was quite quiet, and no one spoke.

This quietness is mainly because of Zhang Jin's existence.

This kid has been leading the way in silence all day, and the others are affected by this silence, coupled with the uncertainty of life and death in this operation, and their minds are indeed heavy, so they are used to not speaking.

Wei Xingshan checked all the weapons in his hand by the light of the bonfire, and finally broke the silence: "Lao Lin, what about the eighth master?"

Being reminded by Wei Xingshan, Anne also said: "Yes, it's been half a month, the eighth master should be back, right?"

"Hmm. Lin Shuo responded.

"We used to operate separately from it in Urumqi, which is quite far from here. Wei Xingshan said, "I guess I haven't flown yet." ”

"Then you're underestimating it. Lin Shuo shook his head, "If it's really in a hurry, it can soar out more than six hundred miles in an hour." Urumqi to here, it's four hours at most. ”

"Eighth Master so fast?" Anne wondered.

"But our eighth master is very sociable. Wei Xingshan said with a smile, "In this Altai Mountains, which stretches for thousands of miles, there are all kinds of birds." Maybe our eighth master has met a confidante and is flying in both houses!"

"Stupid big man, what stupid thing are you talking about!"

A loud voice pierced the night sky, followed by a flutter of wings.

Soon, on Lin Shuo's shoulder, there was a starling who had always been vivid.

The starling bird was jet-black, except for a golden crest of feathers on its head.

After disappearing for half a month, Hachi finally reappeared.

"Eighth Master!" Anne looked surprised, "When did you arrive?"

"It's been there a long time ago. Xiaoba said, "I've been with you for almost two days, Brother Shuo knows." ”

"Hmm. Lin Shuo replied and took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket.

Xiao Hachi's mouth took the cigarette butt and held it in his mouth.

Xiao Ba's action, the others have long been surprised, but Di Lan looked surprised, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at this starling bird.

Xiao Ba also looked at Di Lan, then tilted his head, dodged the flame of the lighter in Anne's hand, and said to Di Lan: "You mother-in-law, I have been staring at you for two days, what's the matter, it is interesting to my brother Shuo? What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you learn from others quickly, and light a cigarette for me to the eighth master." ”

Dylan had an angry and amused look on his face, then lowered his head and found a lit firewood by the campfire, slowly lifted it, and handed it to Xiao Ba's mouth.

"It's clumsy, and it's not meticulous. Xiao Ba's tone was full of disgust, stretched his neck and lit the cigarette on his mouth, took a puff, turned his head and said to Lin Shuo, "Brother Shuo, let's talk about it first, this stupid woman can only be small at most." In the main room, you have to vacate the mother-in-law Anne. ”

"Oh, Eighth Master, you really take care of me. Anne rolled her eyes and reached out to snatch the cigarette from Hachi's mouth and threw it into the fire.

Xiaoba was not angry, turned his head to Lin Shuo and said, "Brother Shuo, it seems that you haven't settled this mother-in-law yet?" ”

"The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. Lin Shuo stretched out his hand and flicked it on Xiao Ba's head.

"I'm not a eunuch. ”

"You'll be soon. ”

"Brother Shuo, I was wrong. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, get down to business. ”

"Brother Shuo, this transaction, I suggest that we stop doing it and withdraw. ”

"Why?"

"Brother Shuo, I've never seen this kind of forest, it's so evil. ”
