"Stones, vegetation, blood." Wei Xingshan repeated, and then said, "Huh? The vegetation is wrong!"
Lin Shuo nodded after hearing this, with a sense of relief on his face: "I'm not stupid after all, I know there must be demons when things go wrong."
"That's right!" Wei Xingshan said, "There is neither light source nor heat source inside this kind of cave, and we didn't hear the sound of water when we walked all the way just now, which means that there is a high probability that there is no water inside. Under this environment, You can smell a little moss, I believe, how could grass be?"
"But I can smell it, why?" Lin Shuo asked, "Let me give you a hint. To be precise, it's when the bark of the tree is stripped, the sap in the trunk flows out, and the sap is released when the sap is about to freeze. Smell. This kind of tree is called long-leaved spruce."
"Hey, you dog nose, this is too meticulous." Wei Xingshan muttered softly, and was patted lightly on the shoulder by Zhou Lingshi, "Brother, how can you talk to the master like that?"
Wei Xingshan seemed to have been reminded, and glanced at Zhou Lingshi: "Then tell me, what's going on?"
Zhou Lingshi thought for a while and said: "This snowman is still very cunning, it can make traps. I think this tree was stripped of its bark, and it was used as a trap. It made those traps, I have seen it before , In fact, the structure and principle are quite simple, but it is too dark here.
If we go in like this, it is really a blind man riding a blind horse, facing a deep pool in the middle of the night!
It's easy to fall for it. "
"It's easy for us to be recruited. Isn't there a master here?" Wei Xingshan said, "He won't."
"Yes, master, please clarify." Zhou Lingshi said.
Lin Shuo said: "The smell of blood in it is not very fresh, it is much older than the smell of blood left by the snowman here. This means that the snowman is not inside.
The bloody handprint on the bottom of the rock was pressed on it deliberately, just to induce us to go behind the rock. "
"Oh... So that's what happened." Wei Xingshan finally understood, "Then, this snowman is too cunning, right?"
"It's not just cunning, it's still calm. Not only did it not panic after being cut off three fingers, but it also knows how to use bloody fingerprints to add an insurance to this trap." Zhou Lingshi said in amazement, "This thing has become a spirit No wonder my senior brother can't beat him."
"Of course I can't beat it." Wei Xingshan was very straightforward.
"I mean, my former teacher, the senior brother under the Wu family, Zheng Nanshan." Zhou Lingshi said awkwardly, as if he knew he had made a slip of the tongue.
Lin Shuo felt a little strange when he heard Zhou Lingshi's words.
Zhou Lingshi is a fine individual, and he is very considerate of other people's feelings when he speaks.
In front of the new master, it is inappropriate to mention the previous master, which should not happen to him.
Now that it happened, it means that he was somewhat troubled in this regard, so he just made a side note here.
This insinuation was very subtle, but Lin Shuo could still hear it.
Lin Shuo then said, "I know what you're worried about. People in the hunting gate changed their gate, and the news is somewhat unpleasant. But you don't have to worry, I will let the Wu family be justified in terms of face and face."
"Thank you, master!" Zhou Lingshi hurriedly thanked, and then said, "Master, since I brought this up, please forgive me for talking too much, and remind you of one thing.
The Wu family is in front of you, that is a spitting star drowned. But the backing of the Wu family is the Yungui Miao family.
Especially my old mentor Wu Tiannan, he and the current Patriarch of the Miao Family met in the early years when the Patriarch of the Miao Family was down and down.
The reason why I, Zhou Lingshi, was able to have some insight into the big and small things in the hunting gate is also because of this reason. The old teacher is close to the Miao family at the nine-inch threshold, and news came through.
The Miao family's nine-inch threshold is not as high as yours, but now, it is the most numerous family among the six families, and its overall strength is second to none among our Liemen.
So my business, master, don't be too straightforward, talk to the Miao family first.
Otherwise, at the peer alliance ceremony, they found a reason for my affairs and caused trouble for you and Patriarch Su, then I am really to die for! "
After hearing these words, Lin Shuo was not unhappy, but rather relieved.
This Zhou Lingshi, he considered the matter very carefully, and he really thought of his master, otherwise he wouldn't have to talk about it.
What's even more rare is that his words were not low-level, and he was aware of the turbulent undercurrent above the nine-inch threshold of the Liemen.
Lin Shuo nodded and said, "You're right about what you said. But unfortunately, my relationship with the Miao family is not very good."
"Ah?" Zhou Lingshi was a little surprised, "Why?"
"Don't ask." Lin Shuo shook his head.
"oh."
It is true that this matter cannot be discussed with the disciples.
The grievances between the Lin family and the Miao family started from the previous generation.
The current head of the Miao family is named Miao Tiangong, who is Miao Guangqi's cousin.
Miao Tiangong has a younger sister named Miao Xueping, who was considered a great beauty in the hunting gate back then, with good abilities.
This Miao Xueping has taken a fancy to her old man Lin Leshan.
At that time, the older generation were all in their early twenties, full of vigor, out of love, so they inevitably acted more impulsively.
Lin Shuo heard from his old man that Miao Xueping once challenged his mother with a Miao family inheritance close to the nine-inch level.
As a result, my old lady was also young at the time, and she didn't know how to attack seriously, so she gave this Aunt Miao a hard lesson.
Miao Xueping has been insane ever since.
As the eldest brother, Miao Tiangong would not sit idly by and his own sister became like this.
But this person is arrogant and doesn't want to trouble his wife and a woman.
In his opinion, old man Lin Leshan was the culprit of the incident, so he came here to seek bad luck from old man Lin Leshan.
At that time, my old man was not as smooth as he was later. If someone came to challenge him, he would continue.
When he started, the old man thought that Miao Tiangong's ability should be similar to that of his sworn brother Miao Guangqi, who was still above nine inches, so he didn't dare to hold back.
Accidentally, Miao Tiangong's leg was crippled. It's so wasteful that even the Miao family's medical skills can't cure it.
Five years later, Miao Tiangong, whose legs were paralyzed, became the new head of the Miao family because of Miao Guangqi's departure.
The enmity between the Miao family and the Lin family could never be resolved.
Later, when the old man talked about these things with Lin Shuo, there was regret in his words, but the done thing was done, and the matter was irreversible.
Naturally, Lin Shuo couldn't mention this mess to his disciples, so he could only keep it in his heart.
But in order to reassure the new apprentice, Lin Shuo said, "Don't worry, if the Miao family has something to say, I'll take care of it."
"Master, don't worry about it." Zhou Lingshi was very moved by his words.
During the conversation, the sky was bright, and the three of them had already walked out of the cave.
Cao Yusheng, Zhang Jin, Anne, and Mao Dahai were already waiting outside the cave.
Seeing Lin Shuo and the others come out empty-handed, Cao Yusheng's expression became serious: "It seems that I, Cao, somewhat underestimated this snowman."
"En." Lin Shuo nodded, "It's not unreasonable for this thing to survive. It's capable. Not only is it cunning, but it also knows how to invite you into the urn."
"Boss, then we can't keep this thing." Cao Yusheng said, "Otherwise, once we get started with the flying corpse, it will be difficult if it makes trouble and we are attacked."
"That's the truth." Lin Shuo nodded.
"Old Lin, what shall we do then?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"You don't want to follow, just hold the gun and guard Cao Patriarch." Lin Shuo looked around, looked at the current staffing, and then asked, "Nianqiu, how is your injury?"
"It's all right." Anne shook her head.
"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded, and then said: "We are heritage hunters, and we hunt in teams in a serious way, which is very rare now.
In today's world, there are not many things worthy of this battle.
And our own skills and abilities in this area are gradually becoming unfamiliar.
Since this thing is pretty decent, I'll give it that respect.
Nian Qiu, Zhang Jin, and Zhou Lingshi, the three of you come with me. "
