Although the Shennongjia primeval forest does not grow grain, it is also a treasure mountain.

The unique geographical environment and climatic conditions make it a place where a variety of flora and fauna components converge, and it is known as the "gene bank of animal and plant germplasm".

Of course, this good name is of interest to biologists like Lin Shuo's second wife, Di Lan, and for the locals, the benefits here are another name for this place.

Kingdom of Chinese herbal medicine.

In ancient times, Shennong's tasted all the herbs in this place, wrote the "Shennong Materia Medica", and left the legend of "erecting wood as an altar and flying across the crane".

Today's mountain people, who have risked their lives again and again to break into the mountains, do not have such a big pursuit, nothing more than oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea at home.

Then there is the children's schooling, weddings and funerals.

Now that the matter of the He family's hunting ground is in trouble, the way of life is broken.

A large number of mountain people went to the city to work, and the He family took advantage of the situation to ensure that the media sent the house, and the people in the mountains are becoming fewer and fewer day by day.

But even so, there will always be people guarding the mountains, such as Lehua and his mother, orphans and widows.

Lin Shuo learned before that Lehua secretly entered the mountain this time, and nine times out of ten he went to collect medicine for his mother.

Lehua's mother had a boil on her back, and the pain was unbearable, and she hadn't slept for several nights.

In Shennongjia, there are four extremely valuable medicinal materials, which are called "a pen of King Wen", "a bowl of water by the river", "a pearl on the head", and "a flower with seven leaves".

According to Lehua's mother's symptoms, Lin Shuo knew that the medicinal herb he was looking for should be "Seven Leaves and One Branch".

This thing is also called Chixiu, and it has a miraculous effect on boils, swelling and pain.

Lin Shuo can be sure at this time that the child must have found this medicine.

The one in front of me is a veritable seven-leaf flower, with a flower on top of seven leaves.

I couldn't see the color of the flowers, because it was already dark and the light was too dark.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

And the smell of Lehua, which Lin Shuo has been tracking, also ends here.

People just disappeared out of thin air.

The smell of people is gone, but the smell of beasts and aliens is now coming from far away.

Encirclement, has been formed.

This is an eight-headed beast of different breeds, but based on the smell alone, Lin Shuo doesn't know what it is.

The Shennongjia Forest Area is the territory of the He family, and the inheritance hunters of other families will not come unless they are adults.

And Lin Shuo's adult hunting was completed in the Qinling Mountains, so it was the first time he came here.

He knows most of the medicinal materials here, because they are also available in other places, but Shennongjia is particularly famous.

But he didn't know the beasts here.

Because the vast majority of the beasts in the He family's hunting ground are not native to the land of China, but the He family captured cubs from all over the world a hundred years ago and put them in, which are essentially invasive alien species.

I don't know what these eight-headed beast aliens are, but Lin Shuo still has a rough idea of their biological taxa.

This is an eight-headed mammal with a particularly large body odor.

Fighting with this kind of thing at night, unless it is a last resort, even the Lin family has to weigh it.

In the long history of biological evolution, there has been a period of "dragon and beast hegemony", that is, reptiles with unconstant body temperature and mammals with constant body temperature competed in various ecological niches.

At the beginning of that period, mammals were at a disadvantage, so they could only hide in their nests during the day, taking advantage of the fact that the ambient temperature dropped at night, and those ectotherms were not as energetic as during the day, and came out to move and eat.

This adaptation of strategies under the pressure of biological competition has allowed mammals to gradually evolve extremely developed night vision.

And when humans began to evolve, they experienced several rounds of mass extinctions, and the competitive environment changed again.

At that time, humans were apes living on trees, eating fruits.

Being able to see whether the fruit is ripe or not, and being able to distinguish red and green means that the core competitiveness of the population has been mastered.

The light is weak at night, and no matter how strong the night vision is, it will not be able to see the spectrum, so you can only see the sun during the day.

As a result, our ancestors slowly became outliers among mammals, active during the day and sensitive to the difference between red and green.

And because they are not active at night, the night vision ability that mammals are generally good at, including the whole set of perception ability at night, has been degraded in all aspects.

Even today, these inheritance hunters, including Lin Shuo, who are equipped with unique skills, have reversed this talent disadvantage, but they can't escape the law of biological evolution in general.

Therefore, fighting mammalian beasts at night is a great disadvantage for hunters.

What's more, this time the chasing master was not there, and Lin Shuo was still followed by two burdens.

He Yongnian is a nine-inch hunter, and his ability is good, but the eight-headed beast is not a hunter of this level who can deal with it.

As for Teacher Qi, this girl still doesn't know what the current situation is, let alone it.

Right now, Lehua's smell suddenly disappeared, and Lin Shuo couldn't continue to look for it, but this matter didn't end there.

Xiaoba also came this time, and was put into the sky by Lin Shuo, and he was wandering all over Shennongjia at this time.

When the bird returns, there will definitely be new clues.

At this time, Lin Shuo judged the situation and found that it was not wise to break through, so he simply sat down and asked He Yongnian to get some firewood nearby and light the bonfire.

This mountain forest is freezing at night, and he and He Yongnian are nothing, and Teacher Qi can't stand it as a woman.

This girl is a little stupid, but it is not such a big sin as to be frozen to death.

He Yongnian quickly lit a bonfire.

As soon as the fire is lit up, the body is eased, and the people's hearts will naturally settle down.

Teacher Qi looked at the fire in front of him, sat on the ground with his hands on his knees, and was distracted for a while, as if his brain hadn't turned yet.

He Yongnian is a hunter after all, and his brain is active at this time, and he asks:

"Chief, what's the current situation?"

"It's fine. Lin Shuo said, "If you are tired, you should sleep, right now, the eight beasts and xenomorphs are surrounding us, and they are standing guard for us. ”

"Chief, don't entertain me. He Yongnian pointed at Teacher Qi, "I'm at least smarter than her, and I can hear what it means to talk back." ”

"I'm not saying anything back. Lin Shuo said, "It's all the truth. ”

"Then you are affected, let me die clearly. He Yongnian rolled his eyes.

Lin Shuo smiled: "It's not been a day or two since you He Yongnian was a hunter, have you seen this battle today?"

"I haven't seen it. He Yongnian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "And even if I have experienced it, I don't know, I am not as capable as the leader, and I can know from afar that something is surrounding." ”

"Then have you ever heard that the eight-headed beast alien species will surround people?"

"If it's the same thing, it's possible. He Yongnian said, "Team hunting, this is not uncommon among the beast species, but listen to what you mean, these eight heads are not of the same species." ”

"You should know better than me about the situation in your He family's hunting ground. Lin Shuo said, "In order to prevent the breeding of beasts from getting out of control, the xenomorph cubs released were all single, not the same species. ”

"So what the hell is this. He Yongnian shook his head.

"The current situation is not just about surrounding us. Lin Shuo said, "They are called besieging but not attacking, and now they are in place, as if they are standing guard, do you know what this means?"

"Someone controls?" He Yongnian asked.

"Hmm. Lin Shuo nodded, "Naturally, someone controls it, and this person's means of controlling beasts are very clever, stronger than the Miao family." ”

"Lord Ma?"

"If there is such a person, it is more likely to be him. Lin Shuo said.

"Then why did he do it?"

"I don't know. Lin Shuo shook his head, "But it's precisely because I don't know, so you He Yongnian can have a good night's sleep tonight." ”

"Why?"

"Because he didn't tell us his intentions, how could he let us die?" Lin Shuo said.

"Understood. He Yongnian nodded, "Then I can sleep, what about you?"

"I can't sleep. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because there's another possibility, and I'll have to be on guard. Lin Shuo looked up at the night in the distance and said.

"Which one is possible?"

"He didn't tell me what he was trying to do, he told someone else. I, at the moment, am his bargaining chip at the bargaining table. ”

"Boss, I don't understand again. ”

"You don't have to understand, you just need to sleep. Lin Shuo smiled slightly, "I'll keep vigil, you can sleep well and recuperate, and tomorrow morning, I'll take you two to break through." ”

"Yes!"
