That night, Lin Shuo and a group of six people did not cross the river, but returned to the mountain.

Although Lin Shuo solved the way of the thing, there were still many unsolved mysteries in that ruin.

For example, why did those one hundred and eighty-two people disappear into thin air, and if they were attacked by that thing, how could they not leave any traces of blood.

Another example is why the West Village on the other side of the river can be so calm.

Time can indeed heal the pain and dispel the fear, but the attack on the East Village is less than a month ago, and this time is obviously not enough.

Why don't the people of the West Village move?

With these questions in mind, everyone decided to cross the river and enter the West Village first, and wait until tomorrow, when everyone is ready to go in again.

Back on the mountain, it was already dark.

The mercenaries found a source of water in the mountains, a small stream, which was supposed to be one of the sources of the river in the village.

Right on the edge of this creek, everyone lit a bonfire and gathered around.

"It's weird. Wei Xingshan broke a branch, continued into the fire, and said slowly.

"yes. Ho Zihong also said, "The matter here, judging from the current situation, is far more than a biological attack. ”

"Teacher, Captain Wei, I don't have to think about it so complicated. Yang Tuo lifted his glasses and said calmly, "The purpose of our trip is very clear, that is, to find that strange creature, and then try to capture it as much as possible. Other things have nothing to do with our International Biological Research Society. ”

Yang Tuo's words made the surroundings quiet for a moment, and then Wei Xingshan nodded: "Dr. Yang has a point. We are not the Russian police, we are not here to solve the case. ”

"Team Wei. At this time, Wang Yong said, "When you were surveying at the bottom of the mountain just now, a few of our brothers were on the mountain, and we also felt a little strange. ”

"What's wrong?" Wei Xingshan asked.

"I can't tell. Wang Yong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Team Wei, do you remember what happened in North Africa two years ago?"

When Wang Yong's words came out, Lin Shuo found that Wei Xingshan's face stiffened, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

"What happened in North Africa two years ago?" Liu Qing asked softly as if he had also seen Wei Xingshan's abnormality.

"There's nothing to hide. Wei Xingshan said: "Two years ago, Wang Yong and I, as well as several other brothers here, were still in service as special forces. It is inconvenient to reveal which unit it is in. In short, a mission on the ground in the name of an international peacekeeping force. That time we were planted, and sixteen of us went into the forest, and only five came out alive. ”

"Ambushed. Wang Yong sighed, "Only afterwards did we know that we had been targeted a long time ago and followed us all the way." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yong paused and turned his gaze to Wei Xingshan: "Team Wei, it may be that I am nervous. When I was on guard in the mountains tonight, I felt like I was back in North Africa, and I always felt that someone was watching us secretly. ”

"Have you checked?" Wei Xingshan asked.

"Of course I did. Wang Yong shook his head, "I didn't find anything." So, ah, I said maybe I'm nervous. ”

"Maybe the other party is a master. Wei Xingshan's two thick eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Lin Shuo, "Mr. Lin, have you noticed anything in this aspect of your spirit?"

When Lin Shuo heard this, he quickly twitched his nose twice, feeling the various smells in his nasal cavity, and then slowly shook his head: "No." However, my method of detecting wild beasts is very clever. But if it's someone in the hunter's circle, it's not necessarily true. ”

"Why?" asked Anne.

"These abilities of my Lin family, except for a few means of pressing the bottom of the box, my peers know more or less about other methods, especially the hunters of the six major families, who have fought side by side with our Lin family for many years, and they all know themselves and their opponents. Since they know what our Lin family is capable of, they naturally know how to prevent it. Lin Shuo said lightly.

"Six?" Liu Qing asked curiously, "What's that?"

Lin Shuo glanced at her: "Since I have collected the money, I want to do a good job, so you people had naturally better die a few less." That's why I've got some news for you. The purpose is to tell you not to be careless. But I'm not stupid, if I tell you who the six families are, and the next order is to buy and sell, you won't necessarily look for me. ”

"Mr. Lin is too modest. Anne smiled slightly, "Even in the Six Hunter Family, you are second to none. ”

"The six hunters have their own strengths, and they can't be compared. Lin Shuo shook his head and looked at Wei Xingshan, "Captain Wei, in fact, in the wilderness, sometimes our intuition as animals is more useful than knowledge and experience. I didn't notice anything unusual around me for a while, but I still need to be careful. ”

"Mr. Lin is right. Wei Xingshan raised his head and looked at the mercenaries around him, "Tonight, the manpower on night duty will be doubled." ”

"Yes!"

......

That night, Lin Shuo only drank some stream water, neither ate nor slept.

He sat in the corner of the camp for another whole night.

When she got up in the morning, Liu Qing understood. Lin Shuo, whether he eats or sleeps, has a lot of courage, and he belongs to the kind of person who solves problems at one time.

Take eating as an example, if a roe deer of 60 pounds goes down, he can go without eating for several days.

Sleeping, I slept all the way on the road before, Liu Qing had never seen such a lazy man, but as soon as he entered the mountain, he didn't fit his eyes.

Liu Qing told Anne about this in the morning, but Anne looked as usual: "Hunters are like this. ”

"It doesn't seem to be the same as the hunter we remember. Liu Qing said.

Anne said, "Have you ever heard of an animal that big before?"

Liu Qing shook his head.

"Since there are such animals in nature, then we humans will have people to deal with them. Anne said, "To deal with strange creatures, you have to rely on Legacy Hunters, but these two are unknown now. ”

......

After confirming that the strange creature that committed the murder was coming from the river, Lin Shuo's sense of smell was difficult to track.

It still belongs to the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the water network is not dense, but it can be regarded as extending in all directions.

This river leads to the big river that everyone passed by before, and that river flows into the Heilongjiang River.

Although that strange creature is huge, the Heilongjiang River basin is huge, which is geographical, and biological-level is completely two concepts.

Therefore, to find this strange creature, you still need the intelligence support of the locals.

But Lin Shuo's trip of nineteen people, most of them were strong men from military backgrounds, and they were also equipped with sophisticated weapons. If they all go down the mountain, it will be the devil entering the village. It's too late for the villagers to defend themselves, and if they want to hear some information from them, it's harder than climbing to the sky.

Of course, it is possible to intimidate or extract confessions, but this method is obviously not in line with the style of the International Society for Biological Research.

Early that morning, after everyone in the temporary camp got up, they began to discuss the candidates who would go down the mountain and enter the village.

Anne herself and Liu Qing were the first to be determined. When it comes to finding out the news, women have a natural advantage. And these two are by no means just ordinary women.

Yang Tuo, who was praised by He Zihong as "calm in every major event", also followed.

In the last place, everyone looked at Lin Shuo. He was the strongest fighter on the trip, and he was thin and unobtrusive.

Lin Shuo patted the recurve bow behind him and shook his head, meaning that this thing was too dazzling.

"Mr. Lin, you will stay here. Wei Xingshan said in a deep voice, "I swear with the dignity of a soldier, and I will guard it for you." ”

Wei Xingshan was the first to be excluded from the selection of people to go down the mountain, he was too tall and his face was too fierce.

Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan, his expression was not so trusting, and he spoke: "Remember, you owe me my life." ”

Wei Xingshan looked stunned, and then nodded heavily.

After saying this, Lin Shuo said to the starling bird again: "Xiaoba, you are optimistic about chasing the master with him, if there is any wind and grass, go down the mountain and notify me as soon as possible." ”

"Okay!" Hachi replied.

After the discussion, the four people in this group all changed into the clothes of hiking mountaineers, dressed in colorful clothes, and began to descend the mountain.

The view under the mountain is naturally much worse than that on the mountain. Bypassing the small river on the side of the mountain, the four of them walked along the path for half an hour before they saw the entrance of the West Village.

"Look, what's that?" Liu Qing's eyes were sharp, and he saw the scene at the entrance of the village from a distance, and couldn't help but exclaim.

A big snake is entrenched at the entrance of the village!
