For the next two days, everything went according to plan.
The embankment project started from the far end of the local village, and gradually closed to the vicinity of the village.
Although Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun worked at night and rested during the day, there was such a big change in terrain near the ancient river in the first three days, and they were not blind. They didn't know it at first, but they couldn't hide it by the third day.
What he wants to do to repair the embankment, this is a lice on the bald man's head, it's obvious.
As for the recent incidents on the Amazon River, the locals certainly know that the restoration of the waters not only means that the tourist value of this Mayan temple will be completely lost, but even the safety of the village has been seriously threatened.
Then the people would definitely not agree to this, so the locals gathered together and quickly found the camp where Lin Shuo and others were.
He couldn't speak the language with these people, so he couldn't communicate and explain, so Wei Xingshan could only shoot into the sky to act as a deterrent.
The locals were scared away, but Lin Shuo felt that this was not a long-term solution.
This is a three-way zone, the folk customs are tough, and people have guns.
If the contradictions cannot be reconciled and a firefight occurs, one is that the hunting team will suffer casualties, and the other is that these people are actually innocent, and it is not good to be dead or disabled.
So Lin Shuo asked Miao Chengyun to urge Qin Yuerong's progress, thinking that the matter would be over soon.
Repairing the embankment was only the first step. The next step was to dig out the silted river channel and divert water into the river. This work was originally entrusted to Qin Yuerong.
As a result, news came from Qin Yuerong, because the amount of water was halved from the previous plan, so it was more troublesome now, and she needed two days to deal with it.
She didn't say what the trouble was, but she sent Miao Chengyun back anyway.
The hunting team had been idle for the past two days. In order not to conflict with the locals, Lin Shuo led people to change camps, more than ten kilometers away from the village.
Anyway, the embankment has been repaired, and even if the locals want to destroy it, without explosives and large equipment, they can't make much noise. Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun will just repair it temporarily when they go back, it's not a big problem.
…
This evening, not long after the new camp was settled, everyone was busy, some were cleaning the ground, some were setting up tents, and some were cooking.
Then Lin Shuo discovered that Chu Hongyi was always dangling in front of him.
It is very simple to say that Liemen, the leader of Chu, wants to attract someone's attention.
The figure is exceptionally enchanting, and she walks with three steps and three shakes.
Although in all fairness, this man is actually very beautiful, if you ignore his Adam's apple, he is a beautiful woman.
Although her beauty is not comparable to those of Lin Shuo's family, she is considered the best among the women's tycoons on the Internet today.
But when Lin Shuo looked at this person, he always felt as if someone had punched him in the stomach, and his stomach twitched.
"Chief Chu, you'd better accept your supernatural powers." Lin Shuo said helplessly, "Let's talk about something."
"Chief leader." Chu Hongyi hurriedly took a step closer, his face almost touching Lin Shuo's chest, "Did you forget something?"
Lin Shuo smiled: "How can I forget, this is not waiting for the right time."
"I think tonight is a good time." Chu Hongyi said.
What the two said was the original intention of the group to come here, to find the pyramid hidden in the rainforest.
Previously, Miao Chengyun calculated the star map and calculated three possible places where this pyramid might exist, and there is one near here.
Then, because this road passed a pyramid temple that was already known to the world, everyone chose this point and wanted to find clues in the known pyramid by the way.
But when the Kraken incident happened and the embankment was repaired, it seemed that there was no way to go inside the known pyramid.
That Mayan temple is the lifeline of the family, and they all rely on it to make a fortune. Repairing the embankment can annoy them. If the hunting team wants to go in, it will definitely be annihilated.
Of course, it would be easy to clean up this group of people, but Lin Shuo felt that it would be impossible, so he might as well go directly to the possible location of the mysterious pyramid, which is not too far away anyway.
Going to the mysterious pyramid to investigate the inheritance of the Mayans is of great significance to Trorenzo, and it is also true to Lin Shuo.
Because Trorenzo will be a member of Liemen in the future, and the inheritance of his descendants will enter Liemen's inheritance system fifty years later, which is to add bricks and tiles to Liemen.
At the same time, Chu Hongyi was Lin Shuo's right-hand man. For Lao Chu's sake, he should help him with this favor.
So after a short rest, Lin Shuo had to set off again.
Qin Yuerong said that it would take two days, but Lin Shuo calculated it just right. The journey would take a whole day, and there would be a half-day and a day in between. The time is about the same.
The daughter Lin Yingyue did not follow this trip, Lin Shuo asked her to accompany Qin Yuerong, mainly because she was expected to be a correspondent between the two of them, passing a message or something.
In order to prevent the daughter from being found when she comes back, the new camp cannot be moved, and Miao Chengyun and Wei Xingshan are left behind, while Lin Shuo brings Chu Hongyi and Trorenzo to hurry back.
These three people hurried on their way, that was really fast.
Needless to say, Chu Hongyi is the fastest in the Liemen. Although the Chu family does not have the ability to listen to the mountains of the Su family, they can climb mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground.
Trorenzo is quite different in this aspect, but he has an unusual relationship with Chu Hongyi, and Chu Hongyi is willing to run behind his back.
As for Lin Shuo himself, because he used too much mental power when building the embankment two days ago, he has very little reserves at the moment.
He had to keep this bit of mental power as a backhand for self-defense, so the abilities of Xunfeng flight and wind-fire leap could not be used, and he could only rely on a pair of legs.
After losing the power of Nine Dragons, Lin Shuo's physical strength is also limited, and this is directly related to his combat power at this time, so he will not force himself on this journey.
There is enough time, so take it easy.
So as he walked, Lin Shuo realized that his feet were starting to owe money, and the figures of the two could no longer be seen, so he could only hang on to them with his sense of smell.
Lin Shuo thought that these two were a couple, and it was rare for him to have some alone time, so he didn't know what to do.
I really wanted to catch up, and I saw something that shouldn't be seen, and it hurt my eyes.
So the leader of the hunting gate hangs these two people far away, and the debts owed by his feet are getting more and more, and the distance of more than one kilometer is soon drawn.
Now it was a favorable wind, and the scent factors of the two people in front were getting weaker and weaker. Lin Shuo thought not to really lose track, so he hurried on for a while.
Not long after the speed was raised, the leader of Liemen suddenly slammed on the brakes, and his whole body stood still.
This unexpected sudden stop made the knee joints protest, and there was a burst of soreness.
…
Just now, the moment he speeded up, a very faint smell entered his nose.
This smell is too weak, and it seems to be nothing. With his sharp sense of smell, he will doubt whether this smell is real, whether he is hallucinating, or really smelling it.
So he stopped and gave two quick sniffs.
A large amount of air passes through the nasal cavity, but the smell is still illusory.
Lin Shuo quickly opened his satchel and took out a bottle of medicine and a pack of cotton swabs.
Lin Shuo usually only does this job during the night watch, because it is more private to the Lin family, and cleans the nasal cavity.
Lin Shuo started to smoke after the Kunlun Mountain incident, and the tar from cigarette smoke got into his nose and remained in it, which would affect his sense of smell.
In order to ensure the sharpness of the sense of smell, Lin Shuo would clean his nasal cavity regularly, using this bottle of liquid medicine and cotton swabs.
He just cleaned his nasal cavity last night, and his sense of smell should be good at this time, but the smell is still too weak, he can't catch it, so he can only clean it again.
It took two minutes to clean his nose carefully, and at the same time, Lin Shuo stepped back a certain distance, returning to the position where he smelled the smell for the first time.
He looked around.
It is night now, the sky is full of stars, the moonlight is like water, and everything around is very hazy.
Between the mountains, this is a bush that can be seen everywhere. It is half a person high and three meters wide. Lin Shuo just jumped over it.
When he came back this time, Lin Shuo didn't just jump over it, but slowly waded in while stomping the ground with his feet.
There are often snakes hidden in the bushes, and Lin Shuo stamped his feet to scare them away.
After wading to the center of the bushes, Lin Shuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Slowly and longly inhale the surrounding breath into the nasal cavity, and carefully identify the smell in it.
Ten seconds later, he opened his eyes and lowered his head.
The bushes reached his waist, and he bent down slowly, with his face almost touching the branches and leaves of the bushes, searching carefully with his nose and eyes.
Finally, he was convinced, stretched out his hand, and twirled a strand of fiber hanging from the branches and leaves.
Under the moonlight, I couldn't see the color of this entangled silk thread clearly, but the vague smell on it was exactly what Lin Shuo was looking for.
Lin Shuo had never smelled this smell in the real world, this was the first time.
But in Nuba's virtual world, he had smelled it and remembered it deeply in his mind.
Eighteen years ago, on a thunderstorm night in Kunlun Mountains, all smells fell to the ground due to heavy rain.
As for the trip to Africa, in that re-enacted virtual world, it doesn't matter if the people on the mountain fight each other like father and son.
The key is that the rain is different from the real world.
The rain in the virtual world was more rapid in the early stage than in the real world, but the aftermath was weak, and the rain stopped in the middle of the night.
In the fresh mountain air after the rain, Lin Shuo smelled a woman's scent.
The highest peak of Kunlun Mountain was originally a forbidden area of the Su family. At that time, it was already a battlefield for practitioners. It was impossible for others to enter, but that woman had entered.
She controlled the hunters on the mountain with her powerful spiritual cultivation, which caused the Liemen tragedy eighteen years ago.
She is Lin Shuo's father-killing enemy.
Under the starry sky, Lin Shuo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the strand of fiber in his hand.
The fibers are very thin, and there are very few odor factors attached, which will quickly dissipate in such an environment.
But I was still able to capture it, which means that this strand of fiber will not leave its owner for more than three days.
The total area is half the size of China's rainforest, which is desolate and uninhabited. This is the deepest place.
Remnants of silk fabrics, rough in texture, homemade cloth, used by local people to make clothes.
Lin Shuo put the strand of fiber into his breast pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
His face was pale, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and he said softly:
"So, you are here."
