The next morning, Zhao Lin arrived in the valley area at the southern foot of Guyan Mountain.

The river is frozen and covered with snow, and on one side is a large forest of camphor pines, and on the other side the terrain is undulating, with long grass and shrubs more than half a man high.

After guarding the mountain for more than a year, Zhao Lin knew every grass and tree in the whole mountain well, and knew that there was a group of wild pheasants inhabiting here.

Walking to the high part of the river valley, looking down for a while, he chose a slope near the bushes as an ambush site, and began to fight the "snow nest".

The trick of hitting the snow nest was taught to him by Zhou Paotou.

In winter, the hunters go into the mountains to hunt, and they must look for the footprints of wild beasts all over the mountain, and often cannot get out of the mountain for ten days and a half months.

In the snow and ice, how to rest at night becomes a big problem.

There are many trees in the mountains and forests, and there is no shortage of materials to build a temporary shack, but it takes effort and is not warm, and second, it cannot block the attacks of black blind people, jackals and other fierce beasts.

Hunters in the Northland invented a way to build a house in the snow, which was both warm and safe.

When Zhao Lin and Zhou Paotou and others were hunting the bear, they lived in the snow nest.

Before hitting the snow nest, Zhao Lin carefully observed the surrounding environment, and at the same time released ultrasonic waves to sweep around.

The habits of the beaver are similar to those of the tanuki, and it is also a nocturnal animal, so it stands to reason that it should not be active at this time.

However, out of caution, he examined it carefully before he went to the corner at the bottom of the slope and dug it with his bare hands.

The view here is wide and unobstructed, so it is convenient to observe the movement on both sides of the river valley.

In a few moments, he dug out a hole three feet high and two feet wide.

Drill in and expand in five directions: up, down, left, right, and front.

A seven-foot square space was quickly cleared in which the person could stand up straight.

Then press the snow overhead with the palm of your hand to prevent it from collapsing in case of vibration.

Originally, such a snow nest would be dug up, but Zhao Lin was going to stay for a long time, and solving the problem of urinating and defecating would also be taken into account, so he dug a small compartment in it.

After digging the snow nest, Zhao Lin walked to a farther place and rolled a snowball, cut it into a rectangle with an iron ruler, and moved it over to plug the hole.

Before entering the hole, he threw a stone whistling punch to the outside.

Bang!

Snowflakes splashed, and strong winds scattered the excess snow and footprints.

There were snowflakes in the sky from time to time, and the mountain wind blew, and in less than half a day, the traces on the ground could not be seen.

Drilling into the snow nest, Zhao Lin made a simple arrangement.

Put down the burden of pancakes, spread out the felt, and then poke a few small holes in the snow wall with an iron ruler, so that it is convenient to observe the movement of the outside world, and it can also allow ultrasonic waves to enter and in freely.

Since then, he has settled in the snow nest.

Meditate and practice regularly, eat a cake when you are hungry, grab two handfuls of snow to eat when you are thirsty, try not to make a sound, and resolutely do not take a step out.

In the early morning, there was a rustling sound in the snow.

Several wild pheasants fluttered their wings past Zhao Lin's eyes, rummaging on both sides of the river for grass stalks and young leaves under the heavy snow.

"Puff puff ......"

In the evening, a raccoon dog jumps in front of the snow nest.

Raccoon dogs are very cunning animals, they don't make nests, and often take advantage of the badger's hibernation to steal in each other's holes.

The badger sleeps in the "bedroom", it sleeps in the "living room".

Raccoon dogs and badgers are in equal position in the food chain and are in competition.

Some raccoon dogs wake up early in the spring, block the hole with soil before leaving, and suffocate the badger inside, which can be called a model of conscience loss in the animal world.

Over the next few days, wolves, harriers, foxes, weasels, and wild dogs continued to pass in front of the snowy slopes.

On the fifth day, a wild boar accidentally rushed into a nest in the snow.

Zhao Lin was furious, if he wasn't worried about making a disturbance, he would have wanted to punch him to death on the spot.

Perhaps frightened by Zhao Lin's appearance, the wild boar, which had always been bold, didn't say a word, turned around and ran.

"It's your fate!"

Zhao Lin had no choice but to mend the snow nest.

Seven days later, half of the bread had been eaten, and the beaver still did not appear.

"Calm down, there's a pheasant here, it'll come sooner or later."

Zhao Lin thought calmly.

On the ninth day, just as the sky seemed to be dawning, there was a familiar sound of "Te'er" outside.

Zhao Lin sat up slowly, looking out through the holes in the snow wall.

……

"Tutouer, we've been here for a day, and we haven't even seen a single figure, will the kid surnamed Zhao not live here?"

On a ridge not far from Zhao Lin's residence, there were five middle-aged men.

They wore leather jackets, mink hats, bows on their backs, and short knives at their waists, dressed as hunters in northern Xinjiang.

In fact, they were not Orions, but Flame Sect Tuza and his party who came from afar from Weizi to assassinate Zhao Lin.

The five people traveled a long distance to Yanzhou, and according to the intelligence of the secret agents planted in Yanzhou, they found Guyan Mountain all the way.

The door of Zhao Lin's residence was not locked, and only a deadbolt was added outside, mainly to prevent birds and beasts from making trouble in the house, and also to facilitate the delivery of food into the house.

When Tuza and the others looked at it from a distance, they knew that Zhao Lin was not in the house, so they came to the high ground opposite and watched from a distance.

Zhao Lin was still in the snow nest at this time, and they didn't see anyone for a day.

The questioner was a stout man named Kure, and Tuza glanced at him and said, "No, there is only this outpost on the mountain, and he may have gone out temporarily." ”

Kuleha sighed and said, "When will this be?" Why don't I go in and have a look? ”

"No way!"

Tuza was rough on the outside, but he was quite meticulous in his thoughts, and categorically rejected his men's proposals.

"What about the footprints on the ground when you go in? Although he is only in the early stage of the blood realm, it is said that his body is outstanding, in case he sees the clues and escapes, this vast mountain, where are we going to arrest people? ”

"Experienced hunters often rely not on skill, but on patience. No matter where he goes, he will always come back. ”

"Then we can catch turtles in an urn, this is the easiest way, and the safest."

"Yes!" Four of his men answered at the same time.

They were very confident in killing Zhao Lin.

The blood realm of a twenty-year-old is not the same as the blood realm of a forty-year-old.

Although the former is extremely talented, his cultivation time is too short, and his experience and skill are insufficient, while the latter has more than twenty years of time to polish his martial arts skills, and he is at the peak in all aspects, and his actual combat ability is not on the same level at all.

They used to kill young geniuses, and every time it was easy.

The five of them kept watch until dawn, and when the sun rose, they saw a tall figure in the distance, rushing from the mountain to step on the snow.

Tuza and the others were taken aback, Zhao Lin's running speed was far beyond their expectations.

Zhao Lin didn't enter the house directly, but walked around the house, looked around, and made sure that there was nothing abnormal, before opening the door and walking into the house.

The five people didn't expect Zhao Lin to be so cautious, and the expressions on their faces became serious.

Tuza made a downward gesture and motioned for everyone to wait a little longer, and after about a quarter of an hour, he waved his hand violently, led everyone down the ridge, and gathered around the house......
