The climate characteristics of the southern mountainous areas of the Himalayas are completely different from those of the northern mountainous areas in our country.
The location where Lin Shuo and his group are currently located is the windward slope of the humid southwest monsoon airflow of the North Indian Ocean, with abundant rain.
After three days of sunshine, the most majestic mountain range on earth began to show its vagaries.
Not long after we set off that day, it was pouring rain!
The water seems to be pouring down from the sky.
Under the majesty of nature, it is very difficult to breathe through the nose and mouth, and the surrounding visibility is less than two meters.
The rain hits the head and body, which can make people feel dazed for a while.
At this time, neither Lin Shuo's nose nor Anne's ears worked well.
If you go on the road further, you will not know how to live or die.
Even if the rain can't kill you, you can't see or hear anything around you, and you can die if you slip or fall.
And the rain came very fast.
Both Cao Yusheng and Lin Shuo were the top figures in the mountains, and with Zhou Lingshi as a local snake, everyone saw that the weather was not right, so they rushed to find a place to shelter from the rain, but it was already too late.
A group of people were bored on the hillside by the heavy rain.
However, human ability is revealed in such extreme moments.
Lin Shuo saw that there was no place to shelter from the rain nearby, and he slapped on Master Zhui's body. Tang Dao was already in his hand, and he gave instructions to the people around him.
Lin Shuo and Zhang Jin used the extremely sharp Tang knife to cut wood on the spot, while Wei Xingshan took out the rope from his bag and cut it into pieces with a knife.
Anne went to find the branches of these coniferous forests nearby, the kind with a lot of needles.
Zhou Lingshi and Mao Dahai, under Cao Yusheng's command, put together the materials they had found, and then built a shack.
The wooden pole was erected, the bottom was sharpened and smashed into the soil, and the beam was tied firmly with ropes on the top.
There are three beams, one tall and two short, on which a large number of coniferous branches are tied.
Let’s ignore the wall for the time being, before it’s too late, I’ll cover the roof and spread a thick layer of needles.
Even though it was broad daylight, the surroundings were already completely dark.
Looking up, there are dark clouds covering the top, and the clouds are lower than the top of the mountain, which makes people breathless.
In such a hurry to build a temporary shelter, this group of people moved very quickly, but in the end, they were still caught by the heavy rain.
The roof was only half covered, and the rain began to fall.
The first drop of rain just hit Mao Dahai's bald head with a "pop", like clapping hands.
"Ouch, my mother!" Mao Dahai exclaimed, speeding up his hands quickly.
But by this time it was too late, the raindrops fell one after another, and in just two or three seconds, everyone was soaked from top to bottom.
You have to work even if you are soaked, and the huts must be built, otherwise people will be exposed to this low-temperature rain for a long time, and their body temperature will not be able to withstand it, and people will die.
When the roof of the shack was finished, everyone finally had a place to stand.
But at this moment, it was freezing rain, and everyone was soaked inside and out, and they couldn't stop shaking their bodies.
As a veteran at this time, Wei Xingshan's experience in living in the wild showed.
He snapped off a few pieces of wood cut by Lin Shuo and Zhang Jin, broke them and put them in his 60-liter waterproof backpack.
At this moment, these few logs will save lives. This is the firewood for the campfire.
Wei Xingshan lit the bonfire with the kerosene lighter he carried with him, providing the most precious heat source at this time.
But everyone still had to take off their clothes.
Otherwise, the body temperature is already low at this time, and the wet clothes on the body are forced by the heat, and the water vapor will evaporate and take away more heat, which is unbearable for people.
This temporary shack is only seven or eight square meters. Seven people stand in it, and there is a fire in the middle, which is already full.
At this moment, Cao Yusheng glanced at Anne whose lips were already pale, coughed, and turned his back.
With the hunter in the lead, the others had their own intentions, so they quickly turned around and did not look at Anne.
Anne knew that she was asking her to change first, so she quickly took off her wet clothes, dried herself, and took out a dry set from her bag to change into.
After Anne finished changing, the woman closed her eyes, and the other men hurriedly got busy.
Between several big men, there is no need to shy away from anything.
When everyone changed into dry clothes, the rain outside was not only not small, but it was getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, the hut has not been built yet, and the roof is ready now, so it will not be soaked by the rain, but the walls are still just empty shelves, and the rain will come in, so the coniferous branches have to be hung on it.
There is also mud and water flowing across the ground, and trenches need to be dug to guide the water.
Everyone keep busy.
When the wall is filled and the ground is relatively dry, it will be half an hour later.
It's still raining outside, but it's not small.
Wei Xingshan took out some plastic sheets and spread them on the ground, and the big guy sat down.
Nothing to do right now, just wait for the rain to stop.
The little panda was crawling around in the shack right now, it was raining so much outside, it looked very scared, and finally jumped into Zhang Jin's arms, refusing to move.
Between Lin Shuo and Snowman, there has been no enmity in the past, and there is no enmity in the present, and it is not the target of this operation.
Lin Shuo thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing, and it would not be a problem to keep someone else's pet by his side. He originally planned to find a suitable place today, so he let this little guy go.
Lin Shuo didn't care whether the snowman would hold grudges because of this.
If it wants to make trouble, don't stop it.
As a result, when it rained, the matter was delayed.
This little panda is not yet an adult, and leaving it in the wild in this kind of weather is tantamount to killing it.
Sitting next to Zhang Jin, Wei Xingshan looked at the little panda in the boy's arms, stroked its fur, and said, "This little guy is really pretty."
"What?" Lin Shuo glanced at him, "Followed by it?"
"Hey." Wei Xingshan scratched his head, "Look at Lao Lin, everyone in Liemen Six has Huanling, right? I, Wei Xingshan, is your great disciple who opened the mountain, and I will be able to spread branches and leaves and set up another family in the future. Shouldn't there also be a filling scene like a ghost?"
Lin Shuo was amused when he heard it: "You really think far enough, this person wants to set up his own house before he even enters the gate wall.
Okay, if you have the ambition, I won't stop you.
But the problem is that the Huan Ling of Liemen and pets are two different things, both have to be useful.
Either it can help with hunting, or it is simply a part of their own unique skills.
What is the use of raising a group of red pandas in your old Wei family after Wei Xingshan
Do you plan to make people look bloody cute, or plan to open a zoo and collect tickets to subsidize the family? "
Lin Shuo's words made everyone present laugh.
"That's not what I mean." Wei Xingshan quickly waved his hand, "Of course I don't like this little panda. It's fine as a toy, but of course it's not good to be a ghost. What I mean is, master, why don't you catch me later?" A formidable fellow."
Lin Shuo rolled his eyes and didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
Cao Yusheng shook his head, then took up the conversation and said, "Boy, you still don't understand what is called a Huan Ling. Huan Ling is not a simple matter of catching one and raising it. The Huan Ling in this world, Bai Shoufei The corpse is the strongest, so let me tell you about the Cao family's past?"
"Uncle, I'm listening."
"The Cao family used the white-headed flying corpse as a spirit. That was eight hundred years ago, and that time was in the Southern Song Dynasty.
At that time, the northern border of Huaxia fell into the hands of the Jin people, and the Han people traveled south in full clothes.
The ancestors of our Cao family moved from the original land of Yanzhao to the western Hunan area.
The ancestors of our Cao family used to be apprentices of the Yun family. At that time, there were many capable people in the clan, and it was already the five-inch threshold of the hunting gate.
After arriving in western Hunan, the Cao family heard the rumors of zombies, and decided that they were monsters of different species, and they wanted to eliminate harm for the people.
Later, I figured out that this zombie is actually a kind of big bat, which looks a bit like a human being, can fly and walk, and walks by jumping.
At that time, there were many such things in the deep mountains of Xiangxi.
The Cao family went into the mountains several times and lost several elites, but they couldn't help them.
At that time, the Cao family was not in charge of the information of the hunting gate. The time for establishing the family was still short, and the accumulation of information was limited. I don't know what the origin of this thing is.
So the head of the Cao family went to Huguang back then and asked the Yun family for advice.
Only then did I know that this thing was called Qiongqi in ancient times. Besides being fast, it could also confuse people with its sound.
The Cao family was instructed by the Yun family and got the method of pouring clear water into the ears, so they went into the mountains and subdued this thing.
At that time, there were nine families in Liemen, and each family had Huanling.
Our Cao family was originally a way of borrowing things. At that time, we only studied organs, but there was no Huanling yet, so the Patriarch of the Cao family at that time thought about using this flying corpse as a Huanling.
With just such a thought, in less than fifty years, the flying corpses in Xiangxi became extinct.
Any idea why? "
"Why?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"Because, cultivating Huan Ling is not as simple as catching one or two, but controlling the entire group." Cao Yusheng said, "Then use artificial means to replace the survival of the fittest in nature.
In this way, the elimination rate of new flying corpses is very high, it can be said that there is no one out of ten.
With such a high elimination rate, if you want to keep the number of flying corpses in your hands, you can't catch too many.
So grabbing and grabbing, the thing became extinct in the wild.
In addition, the Cao family had a high spirit at that time and wanted to breed the strongest Huan Ling, so the standard of artificial selection was also very high.
Once the wild population becomes extinct, only relying on the little inventory in hand, the survival of the fittest under high standards, the number will naturally decrease.
It is indeed not easy to cultivate this white-headed flying corpse.
This thing is powerful and wild, and if something goes wrong, it will kill people.
Because this thing is a different species, it has a very long lifespan, with an average lifespan of more than 300 years, and its sexual maturity is very late, and it can only bear children at the age of 30.
Therefore, the cultivation cycle of each generation is very long. With the change of one generation of flying corpses, our Cao family will lose two generations.
But anyway, the Cao family succeeded in the end.
After 500 years of meticulous cultivation by the Cao family, the white-headed flying corpse of the Cao family became famous at the peer alliance ceremony 300 years ago, which changed the threshold of the Cao family from five inches to nine inches.
But if you think about it carefully, what price did the Cao family pay for this
Not to mention the extinction of a species. It took five hundred years, and it was the painstaking efforts of more than twenty generations.
As a result, it took five hundred years to cultivate, and three hundred years before the prosperity, and it was almost wiped out by this thing.
Wei boy, after hearing this story, do you still want to raise Huan Ling? "
After hearing Cao Yusheng's words, Wei Xingshan shook his head like a rattle: "Forget it."
"Even if you want to raise Brother Wei, you can't do it now." Zhou Lingshi said at this time, "There used to be many different kinds of beasts, which could withstand the toss of our hunting gate.
Now, one or two fish that slipped through the net is not bad, where can you get the whole population
Brother Wei, look at me. Of course, my ability is not comparable to that of the chief conspirators, but I can still be regarded as learning the art of slaying dragons.
As a result, I, Yicheng, went down the mountain to see that there were no more dragons in this world, which is why this field was mixed up. "
Everyone was chatting, suddenly, a warning sign came to Lin Shuo's mind!
The chasing master beside him also began to tremble continuously.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shuo felt a burning sensation between his eyes and eyebrows.
Almost subconsciously, he raised his right arm violently.
An arrow feather came out of the rain outside in an instant, wiped Mao Dahai's ear, and rushed straight to Lin Shuo's eyebrows!
As for Lin Shuo, he lifted his right arm abruptly, swung his wrist in front of him, and clamped his middle finger and index finger.
The arrow was firmly held by Lin Shuo's two fingers.
The strength of this arrow is not small, similar to the strength of the military crossbow that Lin Shuo took over before.
The arrowhead is not gold or iron, it is ground out of stone.
The shaft of the arrow was cut out of hardwood, and it still had burrs, which had worn away the skin on the inside of Lin Shuo's fingers.
This was the first time Lin Shuo had been injured since he was eighteen years old.
