Under the noses of Lin Shuo, Anne, and Xiaoba, the black shadow in the river swam slowly, gradually approaching the long-abandoned chain bridge.

It is said to be swimming, but its body movements are different from the swimming of water snakes in the water.

The water snake swims in the water, its body is constantly curling, and in order to get enough thrust in the water, the curl is much greater than when crawling on the shore.

And this huge black shadow at the bottom of the water is almost straight all over, and the curl of the body from side to side is extremely small.

Anne has a Ph.D. in biology from Harvard, and she quickly discovered this anomaly.

"It's not swimming, it's crawling at the bottom of the river!" Anne didn't dare to disturb Lin Shuo at this time, but said silently in her heart.

At the same time, she immediately thought of the reason.

This river with a width of more than 50 meters is still too narrow for this black shadow to be tossed away, and if you really swim up, your body will shoot on both sides.

So, it can only crawl underwater.

Thinking of this, Anne's goosebumps all over her body stood up, and she finally had a clearer understanding of the "big guy" in Lin Shuo's mouth.

Women tend to have a natural fear of snakes, and Anne is no exception.

She panicked for a while, and didn't dare to continue staring at the river, but turned her head and looked at Lin Shuo.

Compared to the dark shadow on the river, this man is much more pleasing to the eye.

The pair of glasses he was wearing before was obviously a disguise. After leaving Guangxi, he never wore it again.

However, wearing glasses for many years still left two light white marks on the bridge of his nose.

This man's skin is actually very white, and he is also handsome, but when he speaks, he is not very likable.

Looking at the man's side face, the fear in Anne's heart finally calmed down.

......

Lin Shuo didn't care about Anne's gaze, his attention at the moment was all on the river.

He is a hunter, and the most important thing for a hunter is not to mistake his prey.

The dark shadow had been under the water, and it hadn't come up to breathe.

So there is no smell of it in the air near here.

Its color pattern is too far away, and it is under the water, so it is not real.

But this size, like!

However, Lin Shuo didn't rush to make a move, he wanted to confirm the last feature.

The tail of this black shadow, when viewed from this angle, is just blocked by a hill by the river.

At this time, the group of villagers at the foot of the mountain had been blowing and beating all the way, less than a hundred meters away from the river.

"They shouldn't be able to see that shadow. Anne then whispered, "The transmittance of water is related to the angle. We were at a height, and the perspective was almost perpendicular to the surface of the river, so we could faintly see this dark shadow. But the villagers are by the river, and there is sunlight reflection interference, so they can't see the dark shadow. ”

"Brother Shuo, let's do it. Hachi reminded, "If it drags on any longer, this group of people will be finished." ”

"There's no hurry. Lin Shuo stared at the movement of the black shadow on the river, "Xiaoba, you go and confirm something for me." ”

"Its tail, right?" Hachi flapped his wings and flew up, "I'll take a look." ”

Just when Xiaoba was vacating the sky, there was a wave on the river, and the black shadow under the river suddenly moved!

That black shadow, in Lin Shuo and Anne's sight, the first half of the line became clearer and clearer!

A touch of blue-gray, separated from the river at a very fast speed!

Finally, its head poked out of the water!

The previous freshwater fish king, its entire body, I'm afraid it is not as big as this head that poked out of the river!

The head of the monster poked out on the surface of the river, as if to catch a glimpse of the movement on the riverside, and then quickly retracted back into the water.

As soon as he shrank, the river water he brought up slapped on the shore, and the splash splashed the villagers who were still dozens of meters away from the shore and soaked their bodies.

"Lord Dragon, !!"

"The Dragon Lord has appeared!"

"The Dragon Lord can afford us!"

Bursts of crying came from afar, and Anne saw the villagers all kneeling.

And the huge black shadow on the surface of the river, after retracting its head back to the surface, began to crawl at the bottom of the water at a very fast speed.

It's like a train passing through a tunnel, and once this big guy starts to exert its strength, the whole river is stirred up by it, and the surface of the river is like a boil, and the waves are monstrous.

As its body continued to advance, its tail finally circled the mountain.

This black shadow, according to Anne's preliminary calculations, is more than 300 meters in front and back!

If it is called a snake, then all the other snakes in the world are small earthworms.

The serpent-like monster passed through the waters where the chain bridge was, turned the hill on the other side, and slowly disappeared from Anne's vision.

What she saw in front of her had a huge impact on Anne, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

When she finally remembered and turned her head to look at Lin Shuo beside her, she found that this legendary hunter in the hunting gate had already put away his chasing master and stood on the top of the mountain thoughtfully.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you make a move?" asked Anne.

"Brother Shuo, I can see the tail clearly, it's not it. Xiao Ba flew back to Lin Shuo's shoulder, and his tone was full of regret.

"Isn't it?" Anne asked, surprised, "how so?"

"I've long suspected it's not. Lin Shuo shook his head, "That beast in Kunlun Mountain has been watched by the Hunting Gate for thousands of years, and there is no record of leaving Kunlun Mountain.

Even if it had escaped with suspended animation six years ago, it would have only been for six years. According to the village elder, when he was a child, that is, fifty years ago, he had already seen this black water dragon king in the local area.

Maybe his statement is not credible, but the Dragon King Festival, a tradition that has long been agreed upon by the whole village, cannot be formed in just six years, and this kind of thing cannot be performed.

Therefore, this Black Water Dragon King should be a local strange creature, not the beast of Kunlun Mountain. ”

After Lin Shuo finished speaking, he looked at Anne: "Of course, your International Biological Research Society may not care about this. Whether it is the beast on Kunlun Mountain, or this black water dragon king, you should be very interested. Which one is not to catch?"

"Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong. Anne waved her hand, this time, her momentum did not weaken, but said with a straight face, "We, the International Biological Research Society, are indeed very concerned about the strange creatures in the world, but our goal this time is to capture the strange creatures that caused the disappearance of one hundred and eighty-two people, which is very clear.

We don't care if the Black Water Dragon King is the strange creature on Kunlun Mountain, as long as we know that it is the culprit of this incident, it will be enough.

Please don't forget Mr. Lin, we are the employer, and you, have already taken the deal. ”

Anne's words were reasonable, and her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which was very different from her previous posture of low eyebrows.

This made Lin Shuogao glance at her, but he quickly shook his head again: "I went to the scene to confirm." It wasn't the Black Water Dragon King who did that. ”

"Do you have any proof?" asked Anne.

"If you are a member of the door, you should know that our Lin family has a sense of smell far beyond ordinary people. Lin Shuo said, "I have smelled the smell of the scene......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Lin Shuo was slightly stunned, quickly twitched his nose a few times, and whispered in his mouth: "That's not right." ”

"What's wrong?"

Lin Shuo felt the taste in his nasal cavity, tasted it carefully, and frowned slightly: "It's injured." ”

"You mean, the Black Water Dragon King is injured?"

"Hmm. Lin Shuo nodded, "The smell of this Black Water Dragon King, I actually smelled it when I went up the mountain three days ago. It poked out of the water nearby and watched us for a day and a night. I knew it wasn't the goal of this mission, so I didn't make a detour to avoid it.

But this time, it poked out the smell of the water, which was a little different from before, and the smell of blood in the breath was very heavy, and it should not be lightly injured. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shuo's eyes lit up, and he nodded slowly: "It turns out that the Dragon King's envoy just wanted me to know that the Black Water Dragon King was injured. ”

"This Black Water Dragon King is not only powerful, but also highly respected in the local area. Anne asked, "What can hurt it?"

"What do you think?" Lin Shuo glanced at Anne and asked lightly.

Anne quickly realized, she didn't answer, but smiled, "Then this deal, will it continue?"

"Of course. ”
