The hunter team in the Altai Mountains continued to march towards the target forest.
Using skiing instead of walking is of course a way to speed up the journey, but the mountainous area here is not a professional skiing site after all, and it is impossible to always go downhill.
So soon, the five of Lin Shuo began to climb the snow mountain with difficulty.
Since there is ski equipment, the only way to go in the snowy mountains is this.
Fortunately, all five of them had skis on their feet, so that one foot would not be deep and the other shallow.
The altitude at this time has already passed the snow line, and the snow on the mountain is very thick.
Wei Xingshan tried it, and with his height, he could not reach his thighs in the snow, and what's more, his feet were not on the ground, but on ice.
Now everyone wears skis on their feet, which is of course much better than hiking, but if you climb the mountain in this way, you have to walk in the splayed to increase the friction area between the skis and the snow, and then use the ski poles in your hands to assist, so the speed is very slow.
The physical exertion will come up at this time.
Lin Shuo was carrying Lord Zhui on his back, and his own weight plus load was not at the same level as other people, so the skis on his feet were extra-large, almost reaching the two door panels.
So once he walks in a figure of eight, with his legs spread far apart, it looks very funny.
However, Lin Shuo naturally didn't take this level of physical exertion seriously. On the contrary, Wei Xingshan, who was next to him, began to pant like a cow:
"Old Lin, we have to shed our skin after walking down the snow for more than two hundred miles."
"Didn't I hear that someone wins every year in the military snow competition? It's only been a few years, how old?" Lin Shuo asked.
"At that time, we traveled up to 40 to 50 kilometers, and it was basically a high-speed descent. Who can bear the uphill and downhill of more than 100 kilometers!" Wei Xingshan complained, "People are not mules."
"Look at your talent, you see that the two girls in front of you didn't complain, why do you?" Lin Shuo gave Wei Xingshan a white look.
"Hey, it's strange to say that, it's normal for Miss Anne to have such physical strength, where does this little girl Dilan have such good physical strength?" Wei Xingshan asked doubtfully.
"She is better than you. Don't talk nonsense. If you keep your head on the road, you will save your energy." Lin Shuo said.
Wei Xingshan smiled, looked back, and said, "Hey, have those three people watching behind you left?"
"I don't know." Lin Shuo shook his head.
"Hey! Don't you have a good nose? Can't smell this?"
"They have the wind behind them." Lin Shuo said, "Since Anne hasn't told me anything new, it means they've been following."
"So, they are here for you." Wei Xingshan is not stupid, "Look, they know that their backs are hiding from your nose, and this situation is a bit similar to the Outer Xing'an Mountains! By the way, where is the eighth master? Let it take a look?"
"It's helping to find the way ahead." Lin Shuo shook his head, "I'm not worried about Zhang Jin rushing forward alone."
"Just pamper your nephew!" Wei Xingshan rolled his eyes.
"This is not petting, this is the rule of our six families." Lin Shuo explained, "The Zhang family is rushing forward, and the Zhang family does not move the sword, which is equivalent to an iron shield in front. At the same time, the Zhang family is surrounded by white wolves and black phoenixes. , one is for combat power assistance, and the other is for high-altitude reconnaissance points."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive!" Wei Xingshan said.
"This is Zhang Jin's first time hunting in a team, so let him get familiar with the old rules first," Lin Shuo said.
"Isn't that called petting?"
"It's okay." Lin Shuo smiled, and patted Wei Xingshan's shoulder, "Isn't there still you old Wei beside me, even if those three people want to kill me, you just watch?"
"You're sure about it." Wei Xingshan nodded, "If these three people really want to kill you, I'm sure I won't just watch."
Wei Xingshan paused, and then raised his voice an octave: "I turned around and ran away! They are confident enough to kill you, isn't my old Wei the two hundred catties for nothing? It's better to leave a useful body, I will find a chance to avenge you in the future."
Lin Shuo rolled his eyes when he heard that.
"Of course." Wei Xingshan added solemnly, "If the gap in strength is too great to avenge in this life, I will also add your share and live a good life."
"Well, you are really my good brother."
"That's right."
While chatting heartlessly, Lin Shuo and Wei Xingshan finally climbed up the snow mountain, and after that, it was another gentle downhill road.
Anne was waiting on the top of the mountain, and when she saw Lin Shuo and Wei Xingshan coming, she said softly, "I can tell, one of them is a woman, and her breathing rhythm is like an acquaintance."
"Who is it?"
"Do you still remember the trick 'White Rainbow Piercing the Sun'?" Anne asked back.
"Oh, so it's her." Lin Shuo glanced back, "It's really a dog skin plaster, and I can't shake it off."
"The route they took was a valley and flat land. Although they took a long way around, they have horses and don't consume much energy. They are sneaking us." Anne analyzed, "Mr. Lin, do you want to fight in the forest ahead?" An ambush to get rid of this trouble?"
"What do we do?" Lin Shuo asked rhetorically.
"You are hunters." Before Anne could answer, Wei Xingshan said.
"That's right, we are hunters, and that girl is an assassin. Hunting her is not good, but ambushing her is an expert, so we don't want to play around with others." Lin Shuo said, "Since those two men are qualified to be the helpers of Nie's family, the three of them The combined overall combat power is very good. If there is a group fight with short-handed soldiers, we will have too many hind legs, and we will definitely reduce our personnel."
"What do you mean?" Anne asked.
"During the day, you all go ahead, and Lao Wei and I drag behind." Lin Shuo said lightly, "Since they are coming after me, then come."
After saying this, Lin Shuo smiled and patted Wei Xingshan's shoulder again: "Old Wei, remember that the gun must be loaded. Two brothers in one world, I will definitely drag you when the time comes."
Wei Xingshan looked at the rifle in his hand with a wry smile, and said, "You are really my brother."
"That's right."
…
After a whole day, everyone in Lin Shuo went downhill happily, but uphill was difficult.
In addition, it took a lot of time to make ski equipment in the morning, and when it got dark, everyone had traveled more than 30 kilometers.
At dusk, Zhang Jin led everyone down the snow line and found a coniferous forest.
This forest is very dense, and there is snow on the branches, but there is not much residual snow on the ground, so it will not be too cold when setting up camp at night.
Those three people followed from a distance, keeping a distance of about five miles from Lin Shuo. As soon as Lin Shuo stopped, they stopped too.
With Anne around, the three of them were not a big threat to Lin Shuo and the others at night.
Because Anne can set up the painting prison, there is no way to surprise them in close quarters.
As for the long-distance attack method, Lin Shuo has a chasing master behind him, and Wei Xingshan has a big sniper in his hand, Lin Shuo thinks they will not be so overwhelmed.
So once the camp was selected, Lin Shuo led everyone to make a fire and cook, just like a normal person.
It wasn't until everyone lit up the bonfire and chatted around that Anne mentioned it, and there were three people hanging behind her.
This was the first time that other than Anne, Lin Shuo, and Wei Xingshan in the team knew about this situation.
Zhang Jin became anxious all of a sudden, picked up the Tang Dao beside him and stood up, then was slapped back to the ground by Lin Shuo.
I only heard Lin Shuo say, "Zhang Jin, let me ask you, what are we doing?"
Zhang Jin's handsome face was red, and the veins on his neck were all suffocated, but he didn't utter a word.
Wei Xingshan waited for a while, really couldn't wait any longer, and patted Zhang Jin on the shoulder: "You are hunters."
"That's right, we are hunters." Lin Shuo said lightly, "In other places, we may not be better than other people in the sect, but as long as we enter the mountain, whether other people can get out of this mountain, is it up to us? ?”
"That is." Wei Xingshan replied for Zhang Jin.
"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded, "Old Wei, you guard the camp tonight, and give me a hard gun. Anne, Zhang Jin, you two come with me."
