In the southern mountainous area of the Himalayas, which is more than 6,000 kilometers away from the Mediterranean Sea, Cao Yusheng didn't know what happened to his son, but he guessed a little bit about the situation of the wingless flying corpse.
At the same time, the destination of everyone's trip was also set, Mount Everest.
It must be settled, but the highest mountain in the world is more than forty kilometers away from where everyone is.
This place is different from the Outer Xing'an Mountains and the Altai Mountains. The more than 40 kilometers of mountain roads in those places are relatively easy.
The altitude here is already more than 3,000 meters, and the higher you go, the more limited your breathing and oxygen supply, and you have nowhere to use your strength.
People can only walk slowly. If you can't catch your breath after running for a few steps, you will fall if you say you fall.
Those who followed Lin Shuo this trip were not ordinary people.
No matter how great a person's ability is, he also needs environmental support.
The current high-altitude environment is really drastic. The firewood will be removed for you, and no matter how big the stove is, the fire will not burn well.
The same is true for Lin Shuo, he dare not hurry now.
On the one hand, the high-altitude environment has an objective impact on a hunter of his strength.
No matter how strong the cardiorespiratory ability is, the strength that can be mobilized from the whole body at this moment is not as good as usual.
On the other hand, he needs to reserve oxygen and strength to prevent sudden accidents.
So this trip, you must keep your feet steady and take your time.
Starting from the previous cave entrance at noon, everyone walked for about ten kilometers all afternoon. It was getting late and it was time to set up camp.
Along the way, the snowman had his hands tied behind his back and vines less than two feet tied to his feet, and he was driven away by Zhou Lingshi.
Zhou Lingshi had a chat with Mao Dahai on the way, and he understood the matter.
He knew that the murderer Mao Dahai saw to kill Zheng Nanshan was not this snowman, but a white-headed flying corpse.
So before he wanted to kill the Snowman, but now his mentality is different.
At night, we found a place to set up camp, and everyone lit a bonfire and sat down around it.
Now that I'm free, it's a matter of how to deal with this snowman.
"Kill it." Wei Xingshan pulled out the dagger tied to his thigh, and tested Fengrui with his thumb, "It's not a problem to keep it, you have to eat and drink it. If you let it go, you will shoot us a few more times at every turn." Arrow, that's a risk too. Just kill it, once and for all."
"Brother." Zhou Lingshi said, "This is not very good. This thing is actually a person who can also draw pictures. It is only natural for us hunters to kill animals, but if we kill people, unless it is self-defense, otherwise the patriarch will to blame."
Just as Wei Xingshan was about to say something, his hand felt empty and the dagger disappeared.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Zhang Jin had touched his side at some point, snatched the dagger from his hand in the blink of an eye, and inserted it back into the knife sheath on Wei Xingshan's thigh.
The young man was unable to speak, so he expressed his opinion with these actions:
Snowman, do not kill.
Anne and Cao Yusheng did not comment, but looked at Lin Shuo.
The meaning is obvious, the leader has the final say.
Lin Shuo also started to have trouble at this moment.
In fact, in the crypt at noon, the moment the two sides fought each other, if the spear in his hand used half of his strength, the snowman would be finished.
At that time, if you kill, you will kill.
The reason why he had the benevolence of that thought and didn't kill it on the spot was because Lin Shuo saw the mural.
Thinking that it was not easy to survive, and he had an impressive pen and ink skill, Lin Shuo felt compassion.
Since Killing Heart couldn't be brought up at the time, it's even less likely to be brought up now.
Lin Shuo turned his head and looked at the snowman.
The snowman was sitting ten meters away from us.
The wrists were tied with both hands, and the person was tied to a tree while sitting, with dozens of vines wrapped around his body.
This was done by Zhang Jin, so that the snowman would not suffer so much and could not run away.
At this time, the snowman was not excited, but very calm.
Its hands tied around its wrists are holding the little panda.
This is its pet, Zhang Jin caught it before, and now it is returned to it.
This snowman held the little panda and stuck it next to his face. The white hair on his face was licked by the little panda, and he looked very enjoying.
At this time, its state is very different from the fierce look it just woke up from.
This reminded Lin Shuo.
It was Zhang Jin who stole the little panda from others, and his nephew caused trouble, and his uncle took over the matter.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Shuo slapped the hidden grid on the chasing master, took out the Zhang family Tang knife, and stood up.
Holding a long knife in his hand, he walked up to the snowman and looked at it indifferently.
The snowman raised his eyes and looked at Lin Shuo, as if he understood something, it didn't struggle, but put the little panda on the ground first.
Gently touching the little panda's head, the snowman nodded to Lin Shuo, and then closed his eyes.
Lin Shuo backhanded the knife, and even the vines on the snowman's body and wrists were cut in two.
Snowman opened his eyes, seemingly surprised, and continued to look up at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo threw the knife in his hand, and then just looked down at the snowman's tiger eyes.
The eyes were right for four or five seconds, the snowman's whole body trembled slightly, and his eyes avoided it.
Lin Shuo smiled faintly, picked up the knife, turned and left.
The snowman picked up the little panda and slowly knelt down towards Lin Shuo's back.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After ringing their heads three times in a row, everyone felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and the snowman disappeared in place.
At the same time that the snowman disappeared, Lin Shuo just returned to the campfire.
He put the Tang knife in his hand back into the hidden compartment of the chasing master, and said, "Old Wei, where's the rhinoceros jerky? Quickly take it out, I'm starving to death."
"Wait a minute!" Wei Xingshan waved his hand, and then said, "It was actually quite a shocking scene just now, why didn't you cooperate?"
"How should we cooperate?" Lin Shuo took the rhinoceros meat from Zhang Jin's hand, bit his neck with his teeth and tore off more than half of it, and said inarticulately while chewing.
"Look, the leader of the hunting gate explained the snowman, and the snowman kowtowed to thank him. It's a good story to spread. You can't stand there and accept these three worships, and then say some pretentious words to enlighten this snowman. Fan, this is decent." Wei Xingshan complained, "You came back to eat in such a hurry, it makes me feel like I can't get up and down, it's too uncomfortable."
"It's still enlightening people, can they understand what I say?" Lin Shuo gave Wei Xingshan a white look, "Besides, what is more important than eating?"
"That's true." Wei Xingshan tore off half a piece of dried meat, put it in his mouth, and began to chew.
"Wei boy, don't worry about eating, I'll ask you." Cao Yusheng said at this time.
"Ah?" Wei Xingshan was a little flustered when he heard it, thinking how did I offend this uncle, why did he keep targeting me
But this was Lin Shuo's fourth uncle, and Wei Xingshan had no choice but to say, "Tell me."
"Actually, I only spoke half of the truth at noon today. Why do you think that wingless flying corpse slaughtered a village and a convoy?" Cao Yusheng asked this question.
"Uncle." Wei Xingshan didn't care about it at the moment, and simply smashed the jar, "Since my head is an elm lump, even if you smash it with my master's Qiankun brick, it won't produce any flowers. .Stop teasing me, just talk straight."
"Actually, this matter is quite simple." Cao Yusheng said, "You have to think about it. There has been no news about the white-headed flying corpse these years. Why is this so?"
"Let's hide for fear of people." Wei Xingshan said, "According to what you said, uncle, this white-headed flying corpse killed the family, not only the main line of the Cao family, but also his own family, and then fled. Since you are absconding, of course you have to hide from people."
"It's okay, this judgment is correct." Cao Yusheng nodded, "Since it's a thing that hides people and kills people suddenly, then these people must have violated its core interests, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. Then, this white-haired What is the core conflict of interest between the first flying corpse and our human beings? If you want to understand this, you will know why it suddenly killed people."
When Cao Yusheng reminded him here, Wei Xingshan slapped his thigh: "It was discovered."
"Well, almost, the direction is right." Cao Yusheng praised and continued, "Think about it again, this white-headed flying corpse has been strictly trained by the main line of our Cao family. It is a corpse king. Intelligence or ability, according to the standard of our school, it must be above nine inches.
If such a powerful thing wants to hide from people, it will be discovered by the porters who can be seen everywhere in the Himalayas, and the Brahmins who just go to the mountains to play
These people are not hunters, they are just ordinary people.
If these people can find this corpse king, then how did this corpse king hide in the past fifteen years? Is it luck
Is it abnormal? "
"It's really not normal." Wei Xingshan nodded, "Then, didn't you get discovered?"
"Oh, I can't help boasting." Cao Yusheng looked at Lin Shuo, "Leader, I have little talent, or this apprentice, you should teach yourself."
Lin Shuo was currently eating dried meat, but after hearing Cao Yusheng's words, his mind was clear.
This Fourth Uncle Cao is not easy either.
He wanted to share information and speculation with himself, but because he was the leader, he was the mastermind.
It was inconvenient for Cao Yusheng to speak directly to Lin Shuo in a guiding tone in front of the junior, so Wei Xingshan was out of luck.
Cao Yusheng's words seemed to be pointing Wei Xingshan, but they were actually for Lin Shuo.
At this moment, he suddenly handed over the conversation. In fact, the information had already been shared, and the speculation had already reached Lin Shuo's mouth. Lin Shuo just said it out.
Because this speculation is actually information sharing, so that the juniors around me can understand the current situation.
"It is indeed discovered." Lin Shuo swallowed the dried meat in his mouth, and said, "But what these victims discovered was not the corpse king itself, but something closely related to the corpse king.
The nature of infrasonic waves from the corpse king's 'gelatin' does not match the autopsy report of the victim on the north slope of Mount Everest.
According to our previous speculation, 'Ningzhi' is a wingless flying corpse, while the flying corpse Zhou Lingshi saw five years ago has wings.
The one I met in the crypt earlier had the same infrasonic attack properties as Gel, but it also had wings.
It is possible that there are more than one flying corpse in the Himalayas.
And these other flying corpses are closely related to the corpse king 'Ningzhi', and there may be descendants of 'Ningzhi' among them, so the nature of infrasound is the same as that of 'Ningzhi'.
Once they are exposed, this will arouse 'Ning Zhi' to kill the witnesses.
There were three groups of victims before, so the situation should be different.
The untouchables in that village, and the Brahmins in that caravan, should be made of fat.
And those few climbers on the north slope of Mount Everest probably not only witnessed the flying corpse, but encountered it directly just like Zhou Lingshi did at that time.
Judging from their autopsy report and Zhou Lingshi's personal experience, there was at least one flying corpse that did not have the nature of fat-clotting infrasonic waves and also had wings. "
After Lin Shuo finished speaking, he added: "Of course, this is just a conjecture that fits all the current information. What is the truth needs further investigation.
In short, what you need to know now is that there is a Wingless Corpse King Ning Zhi near here.
There is also at least one winged flying corpse with the same nature as the fat infrasonic wave, which is also the one I fought against in the crypt.
There is also at least one winged flying corpse that does not have the nature of infrasonic waves, which Zhou Lingshi once witnessed.
Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that the white-headed flying corpse here will start with three heads, and we will definitely fall into a hard fight. "
"Oh." Wei Xingshan nodded.
"Okay, rest early tonight, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."
"yes!"
