Early the next morning, everyone continued on the road.
At this time, the mountain road is more difficult than before, not because the mountain is steep, but because the altitude is slowly rising.
As the altitude rises, the air becomes thinner and the oxygen content gradually decreases. At this time, not only the cardiopulmonary function is tested, but also the body's demand for oxygen.
The taller and stronger, the more disadvantaged at this time, because this kind of person has a relatively large demand for oxygen.
Apart from Cao Yusheng, Wei Xingshan was holding everyone back today.
This hero in the army, with a lumpy body, is a good marcher on the ground.
But after one thousand meters above sea level, Wei Xingshan's footsteps slowed down significantly.
But Lin Shuo knew this well. When he went to Kunlun Mountain before, Wei Xingshan had altitude sickness, and he knew that Wei Xingshan's tolerance for this was not very good.
However, the human body will gradually adapt to altitude sickness, so don't worry about it for a day or two.
So on this day, Lin Shuo asked Zhang Jin to slow down, and the group took their time.
The surrounding forest is now different from the previous two days.
It used to be an evergreen broad-leaved forest, lush and green, with green mountains and green waters.
At this moment, it is dominated by cold-resistant coniferous forests, which are no longer so emerald green, but gray-green gray-green, and the overall tone is much darker.
Wei Xingshan, Lin Shuo wasn't really worried.
After all, he has the foundation of a soldier king, and his adaptability is very strong, and he will get better gradually.
Lin Shuo was a little worried about Cao Yusheng.
The head of the Cao family said that he hadn't done business in the mountains for more than 20 years.
Proficient in work and hardworking, the Cao family's hunters are inherently weaker than the other five families. Coupled with the long absence of battle, Cao Yusheng's brain is of course enough, but his body is not good enough this time.
And after all, he is over fifty years old, and his physical adaptability is not the same as that of Wei Xingshan, who is thirty years old.
So today, Lin Shuo asked for the wooden box behind Cao Yusheng, and he couldn't let the mastermind carry it, for fear of accidents.
Cao Yusheng originally refused, but seeing Lin Shuo's insistence, he untied the box.
As soon as Lin Shuo got the Cao family wooden box, he knew that he underestimated Fourth Uncle Cao.
This box is much lighter than Master Zhui, but it still weighs about two hundred catties.
Cao Yusheng, who was over fifty years old, was able to walk the mountain road for two days with this box on his back, but he was slightly tired.
With this amount of physical strength, Lin Shuo knew that Patriarch Cao hadn't been wasted in the past twenty years.
At this time, Wei Xingshan came up together: "Uncle, let me carry your suitcase. I'm carrying more than a hundred catties this trip, and it's not short of your twenty catties."
Lin Shuo was about to put the suitcase on his back, but when he heard this, he was amused and immediately pushed it to the ground.
Since Cao Yusheng unloaded the box, he seemed to be a lot lighter, and now he looked relaxed, slowly waving his fan: "Since your grandson is so filial, uncle, I will accept your favor and carry it on your back. "
Wei Xingshan grinned, took the wooden box by the straps and gently lifted it, but the man's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, Zhou Lingshi ran over from the front of the team: "I'll come, I'll come!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xingshan let go of his hands quietly.
"I really have no eyesight!" Zhou Lingshi ran to Wei Xingshan, slapped his face lightly, and said to Cao Yusheng seriously, "Master, give me the box and I'll carry it for you.
It's not to show that I am capable, but this is a plateau after all.
You are always capable of penetrating heaven and earth, but when you are new here, you may feel a little uncomfortable.
I'm a person with a low barrier to entry, so I'm not qualified to touch your box, but you can reward me for my old teacher's sake, okay? "
After saying these words, Cao Yusheng put on a smile on his face: "Wu Tiannan teaches his apprentices, the work on his hands shakes out so much that he doesn't know how much he is doing, but the things he talks about are good. Let's go, try it."
Zhou Lingshi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and took a step forward to pick up the straps on the wooden box.
As a result, as soon as he grabbed the strap, Zhou Lingshi froze for a moment when he exerted a little force.
Before he could speak, Mao Dahai ran over:
"Boss! Let me go!"
When Zhou Lingshi heard this, he frowned: "Don't make trouble, you can also touch the box of the master of the hunting gate?"
"Boss, just let me shine." Mao Dahai stroked his bald head, "Boss, I have been with you for more than ten years, and I have never had the opportunity to show my face like this. Just treat it as a brother who loves you and treat this matter Let me.
If I, Mao Dahai, carried the chest of the mastermind of the hunting gate, and if it spreads in the future, I will be out of it.
In the future, when I go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I can straighten my waist when I speak in front of my ancestors! "
Zhou Lingshi looked troubled, and looked at Cao Yusheng: "Master, look at this matter..."
"Everyone's back is the same." Cao Yusheng waved his hand.
"Okay!" Mao Dahai responded loudly, and then cupped his hands one by one, "Seniors, I, Mao Dahai, carried the box for the master of the hunting gate today, and you are all witnesses!"
After saying this, Mao Dahai took the straps of the wooden box with both hands, and then shouted: "Get up!"
The wooden box shook for a while, but didn't move much.
Mao Dahai froze there.
"Why does this scene look so familiar to me?" Anne walked to Lin Shuo and said softly.
Lin Shuo smiled slightly, and glanced at Wei Xingshan: "Who says it's not."
Over there, Mao Dahai was stunned for two or three seconds, then twisted his neck, spit two mouthfuls of saliva into his hands, then swung his arms in circles twice, and cupped his fists around again:
"Everyone, if you say something, the water that will be spilled, I, Mao Dahai, will definitely carry this box!"
After saying these words, Mao Dahai turned his head towards Zhou Lingshi with a frowning face: "Boss, if I fall in the middle of the road, you have to remember to take care of my old lady..."
"Shameful thing, get the hell out of here!" Zhou Lingshi stepped forward and kicked Mao Dahai's ass.
Then Zhou Lingshi's face darkened, and he grabbed the strap of the wooden box with one hand, without gnawing, he swung it with one hand, and carried the box on his back at once.
With a box of two hundred catties on his back, Zhou Lingshi didn't change his face, and he cupped his hands at Cao Yusheng and said, "Thank you, the master, for your love."
"He's a good guy." Cao Yusheng showed admiration, nodded, and flicked his fan, "Lead the way ahead."
"Yes." Zhou Lingshi cupped his fists again, and walked forward with the box on his back.
Lin Shuo observed his state.
good.
There is wind under your feet, and your breath is as usual.
In this one move, Zhou Lingshi was far more capable than Wei Xingshan despite being thin.
…
After Cao Yusheng removed the box from his body, his whole body seemed to be in a completely new state.
The old Patriarch was walking in front, which was called a relaxed gait.
Wei Xingshan saw it and was very envious.
Old Wei was feeling choking right now, he was a little out of breath and dizzy after traveling through mountains and mountains for half a day.
That's all for Cao Yusheng, but Zhou Lingshi carried Cao Yusheng's suitcase on his back, and now it's easy to walk in front, which irritated Wei Xingshan a bit.
They are all people who have passed the one-inch threshold, and they are special soldiers, and they carry twice as much weight as themselves, and the difference in status between the two can be seen as long as they are not blind.
So Wei Xingshan gritted his back molars silently, and hurried on his way, thinking that I can't be ashamed and let others see a joke.
Lin Shuo walked beside Wei Xingshan, paying close attention to his state all the time. Seeing that Wei Xingshan's face was a little pale, he knew that this man had almost reached his limit.
But Lin Shuo couldn't be soft-hearted at this time, because this is the time to practice.
The human body must be pushed to the limit, so that its own protection mechanism will work further, and then the body's functions will also go further.
Ability does not come for no reason, it is forced out.
But at the same time, when doing this kind of cultivation, the mind cannot be idle.
At this time, the body load has increased, and the process of improving the heart's own function is not so fast, and the human body has to redistribute the blood supply to the whole body.
The blood supply to the brain will be seconded temporarily, which is how dizziness comes.
And if you don't care at this time, the brain will be hypoxic for a long time, which will more or less affect your future judgment.
So at this time, the brain can't rest, it has to think about things, forcing the body to return the blood that supplies the brain.
Although the body will be more tired this way, people will not practice stupidly.
This principle was told to Lin Shuo by Lin Leshan.
Lin Shuo sincerely suspected that this was an excuse made by his father in order to be able to talk endlessly when he was practicing.
But when he finally became a master, Lin Shuo looked at Wei Xingshan's state, and felt that he should rather believe what he had or not, and had to say a few words.
Otherwise, in the future, this great apprentice of Kaishan will change from habitually pretending to be stupid to being really stupid, then it will not be very good.
"The gap is indeed a bit big." Lin Shuo said lightly.
"It's okay, just give me some time, and I will catch up." Wei Xingshan replied panting.
"I'm not in a hurry. They're all talented, but they've been in business for more than ten years, and you've only been here for a long time. That's normal." Lin Shuo said, "But aren't you curious? Why is Patriarch Cao's box so heavy?"
"It's really unbelievable. Our uncle looks puffy, but the box weighs more than 200 kilograms. It's really unexpected. Lao Lin, do you think Master Cao is the same as me, in order to add weight to the box, so he put iron or something like that Heavy objects?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"Impossible." Lin Shuo said, "You are a rookie who has just started. You are only 30 years old. You have a good foundation before, and your body has no hidden injuries, so now you can practice again, and you can specially add some weight.
He is not the same as you. He is an old hunter of more than 30 years and is over 50 years old.
When people reach this age, they can no longer practice, but have to raise them.
This is a natural law that no one can break.
At the stage of Patriarch Cao, one can only seek a breakthrough in the spiritual realm.
In terms of physical ability, it can only be maintained as much as possible, and it is enough not to be much weaker than before.
So he won't add weight to himself. These two hundred catties are all for this trip, and he can't help it. "
"Then according to this, this weight can carry a lot of things." Wei Xingshan said, "But we have seen it before, look at the things he took out from the box, seasoning bottles, small scales, right, it seems Nothing serious?"
"You don't understand this. Do you know what the Cao family's hunters are mainly in charge of when they enter the mountain?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Didn't you mean the mastermind? Come up with an idea." Wei Xingshan said.
"This is only one aspect." Lin Shuo said, "On the other hand, the hunter of the Cao family is still in charge of the logistics, so he has to bring some daily necessities when he goes into the mountains.
These things seem to have nothing to do with hunting, but hunters are also people, and they also want to eat and drink, so they have to prepare things. "
"According to his box, all these things?"
"Of course it's more than that." Lin Shuo said, "These things don't take much weight, the key depends on what he puts at the bottom of the box."
"Old Lin, I'm dizzy right now, so don't play around with me, just tell me what you think is the main thing in his box."
"The Cao family borrowed things, so the things in the Cao family's wooden box are their biggest secret and their most powerful stunt.
In the Cao family, most of the people who can become inheritance hunters and be recognized by the family are ingenious.
So what each of them put at the bottom of the box is the result of their own tricks, and they are not the same.
Twenty years ago, my father once formed a team with the inheritance hunters who were the main line of the Cao family.
That hunter, named Cao Jiulong, was the best of the Cao family's younger generation at that time.
Speaking of which, he was the owner of the white-headed flying corpse we were going to hunt this time.
If nothing happened fifteen years ago, he should be the current head of the Cao family.
In that transaction, Cao Jiulong did not bring flying corpses, but used a hand-off technique, which made my father full of praise.
If he is alive now, I can't say anything about it, after all, it's the bottom of the box.
Now that people are gone, it can be said.
The result of Cao Jiulong's mechanism technique at the bottom of the box is a Jiulong hand cannon.
At that time, it was the 1970s, and the firearms that could be seen in China at that time, even if they were the most advanced, were not comparable to the hand cannon in his hand.
It is about three feet long and weighs about ten kilograms. It is much lighter than the sniper rifle behind you, and it can shoot nine shots in a row.
The same firearms are in Cao Jiulong's hands, but they are very different from yours in Wei Xingshan's hands.
Whether it is close-up or long-range, that thing is used by others.
My father said that once Cao Jiulong has a hand cannon, he will be afraid of it.
Of course, my father's praise-like comments can be ignored, they can't be taken seriously.
But I guess, Cao Jiulong is really powerful with a hand cannon and can threaten our Lin family heirs, so my father specifically told me about it.
If the Cao family hadn't had an accident fifteen years ago, then this year's Spring Peer Alliance Ceremony, with Cao Jiulong and the white-headed flying corpse, the positions of the six members of the Cao family would be as stable as Mount Tai.
Maybe, they all wanted to rush over the threshold of the Lin family's nine-inch-nine.
It's a pity that there are no ifs. There are so many capable people in the main line of the Cao family, and a white-headed flying corpse was killed.
Having said that, guess what is in our uncle's box? "
"Where can I guess?" Wei Xingshan said, "But at least a hundred catties, if we follow Cao Jiulong's method, wouldn't it be a missile launcher?"
"As I said before, the number of paths for each Cao family hunter is different."
"Then I really don't know."
"I probably guessed it." Lin Shuo said lightly.
"What is it?"
"I can't say it." Lin Shuo said, "It's the same as Cao Jiulong's. It's the bottom of the box. I can't say it in advance until Fourth Uncle Cao shows up."
"Old Lin, you are about to become my master anyway, is it interesting to play tricks in front of your apprentice?" Wei Xingshan rolled his eyes.
"Okay, let me give you a hint." Lin Shuo said, "It's unlikely that such a heavy object is a weapon."
"How is it impossible? The chasing master behind you is even more important." Wei Xingshan argued, and then shook his head, "Forget it, you are a monster, and it is really impossible for others."
"That's right, so it can't be a weapon." Lin Shuo said, "Then there are only two possibilities, either a trap-type mechanism or an auxiliary mechanism."
"Well, go on."
"Flying corpses can fly, and their brains are smart. There is a high probability that traps will not be used. So there is only one possibility left, auxiliary organs."
"What kind of auxiliary agency is that?"
"You will know when the time comes." Lin Shuo laughed.
