Hunter of the Forbidden Region

Chapter 25: that arrow

Views:

Anne couldn't fall asleep that night.

At a young age, she became the head of the Asia region of the International Biological Research Association. Although she has a bright future, she is also under great pressure.

Especially the Wai Xing'an Mountains incident, although ordinary people don't know much about it, has already received great attention from the leaders of the two countries.

The elders' house of the International Biological Research Association just called her one after another satellite phone to inquire about the progress of the incident.

Anne naturally fell asleep after answering these calls.

She wanted to chat with Lin Shuo very much. It doesn't necessarily need to be related to this mission, whatever to talk about is fine.

It was pitch black and quiet outside the tent at the moment. She guessed that Lin Shuo should not have fallen asleep.

However, if I got into a man's tent in the middle of the night in the dark, no matter how I thought about it, it would be wrong.

But if she didn't talk to Lin Shuo alone, she would feel uneasy again.

This conflicted mood bothered her and made it harder for her to sleep.

After tossing and turning for a while, Anne finally gave up trying to fall asleep and decided to go find Lin Shuo.

Just as she stepped out of her tent, a ray of morning light just fell on the mountains of the Stalov Mountains.

Then, Anne vaguely saw the moment when Lin Shuo stood on the boulder at the west end of the camp, and shot an arrow with his bow.

She feels that even if she spends her whole life, she will never forget this scene:

This thin and tall man was a head shorter than the recurve bow chasing master in his hand.

I saw him standing on the ground with his right foot, raised his left foot high and stepping on the bow body of the recurve bow, holding the bow string with both hands, and stretched his body sideways. Support to the full bow state.

Unable to see his movement of leading the arrow clearly, Anne only felt that his right shoulder shook slightly, and a two-meter-long arrow had been stably placed between the bowstring and the bow body in his right hand.

Afterwards, he maintained this posture of standing on one foot, arching his body, and leaning his whole body to the side, as if he had been frozen, motionless.

The only thing that moved was his left foot that landed on the ground. That's a very slight bearing adjustment, controlling the horizontal direction of the arrow.

Lin Shuo's bow-drawing movements had an inexplicable beauty, and Anne only felt that her mind seemed to be frightened all of a sudden.

It wasn't until she observed the slight movement of Lin Shuo's left foot that she realized the loud rumbling sound coming from afar.

As the loud noise approached, the ground began to shake.

Before Anne realized what the approaching loud noise meant, the dangling arrow disappeared just as she made a mistake!

Lin Shuo shot that arrow out!

After the huge bow and arrow left the string, the air vibration caused by it seemed to be beyond the range of human ears to catch it, but it was silent.

At this time, the entire camp was startled by the loud noise in the distance and the tremor of the earth, and everyone ran out of the tents one after another.

"What's going on?" Wei Xingshan's voice sounded beside Anne, "Is there an earthquake?"

There were bursts of loud noises in the distance. After Lin Shuo shot the arrow, there was a pause, and then an even louder noise came over.

But unlike before, this time, the sound gradually faded away.

A minute later, it all returned to calm.

"Mr. Lin, what's the matter?" Wei Xingshan asked again.

Lin Shuo stood on the rock for a while, as if observing something. Then he jumped off the rock, with a regretful expression on his face: "Almost."

"Nearly what?"

"You'll find out when you go down and have a look." Lin Shuo shook his head, and got into the tent shortly, "Captain Wei, I'm going to rest for a while, remember to get my arrow back."

Half an hour later, the sky was bright.

Wei Xingshan organized two assault teams with live ammunition, a total of ten people, and planned to go down the mountain to have a look.

In fact, these mercenaries were in the camp, and they could have gone there long ago, but Wei Xingshan didn't dare to take the risk.

Because as the light became more and more abundant, the scene at the bottom of the mountain became clearer and clearer. Wei Xingshan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he looked down from the halfway up the mountain.

Wei Xingshan really didn't dare to go down the mountain without taking people and guys with him.

At this time, the mountain was in a mess.

Unlike the artificial forests that have been cut down by loggers near the village, there is a dense virgin forest from the bottom of the mountain to the riverside.

In this primeval forest, big trees surrounded by three or five people are very common, and the thinnest trees are as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

The trees here, Wei Xingshan had learned how to use a hand ax before, and he only took care of one of the trees that was not in the middle of autumn, and almost lost his waist.

But now, this primeval forest seems to have opened up a broad road in the shape of an "n".

No matter how big or small, tall or short, all the trees on this avenue were overwhelmed and spread all over the ground.

What's even more frightening is that the "n"-shaped head closure is less than 300 meters away from the camp.

The size of the big guy ashore is actually only a few steps away.

After Wei Xingshan led people down the mountain, the first thing they arrived at was the "n"-shaped closure.

When Wang Yong stepped over a fallen tree, he said "Oops" and fell like a dog eating shit.

"What's the situation?" Wei Xingshan was taken aback.

"Captain Wei, wait a moment, my legs are weak." Wang Yong slumped on the ground with a pale face.

Wei Xingshan looked at his soldiers, not only Wang Yong, but the others were also pale, standing still, but the knuckles of the guns were turning white.

Wei Xingshan was furious: "You guys have followed me through life and death. What scene haven't you seen? Why are you so scared?"

"Captain Wei, you have flattered us." Wang Yong said with a bitter face, "We have never seen a four-lane highway in the forest in one round trip!"

"Captain Wei, don't just talk about us, you don't look too good-looking." Another mercenary muttered.

"Stop talking nonsense." Wei Xingshan glanced at the direction of the camp, "Hold on tight and find that arrow."

"Captain Wei, look over there." Wang Yong pointed in the direction, "There is a hole in this tree."

Wei Xingshan looked along Wang Yong's finger, and it was really true. I am tall, and the hole looks flat because of the angle, so it is not easy to detect. Sitting on the ground, Wang Yong was very eye-catching.

"Go, go and have a look."

This is a sylvestris pine, nearly two meters in diameter, even in this virgin forest, it can be considered a big tree. It grows on the side of this "n"-shaped new road, just two or three meters away.

On the trunk of this Pinus sylvestris, there is a large hole piercing through it, the size of two palms. Judging from the exposed wood at the hole, the hole has just been formed.

"Mr. Lin is really scary." Wang Yong stood up, followed Wei Xingshan to the vicinity, looked at the big hole, and was amazed, "This is more than 500 meters away from the place where he shot the arrow. This arrow has already arrived. Here, you can still shoot this tree into a transparent hole."

"Is this fucking human?"

"You just found out today that he is not human?"

"Wang Yong, I don't know what you think. Anyway, let alone carrying a crossbow, even if I carry a bazooka, I dare not challenge him."

"Go and go, which pot is not open and which pot to lift." Wang Yong pouted.

"The size is wrong?" Another mercenary said, "Mr. Lin's arrow is only as thick as an arm. Is this hole too big?"

"Yes." Wang Yong also remembered.

Wei Xingshan pointed to the front: "It's over there."

Everyone looked at Wei Xingshan's finger again, and sure enough, they found the arrow.

The arrow was nailed to a rock on the opposite side, the first half had already sunk into the rock, and the second half had a scale the size of two palms.

The mercenaries hurried forward, half of them were in charge of pulling out, and the other half were chiseling the stone with handaxes. They were all sweating profusely, and finally got the arrow out of the stone.

After carefully inspecting the scene, Wei Xingshan came to a conclusion.

The arrow undoubtedly hit its target, and even penetrated the scales of the thing, and then for some reason, the arrow slipped through.

Then the arrow, with its scales, pierced a sylvestris pine and broke two red spruces, before the arrow shot into the stone.

The power of Lin Shuo's arrow has far exceeded Wei Xingshan's understanding of cold weapons.

What made Wei Xingshan feel even more creepy was that there was no blood at all here.

This shows that the arrow tore off a scale of that thing, but failed to injure its flesh, it just frightened it away.

Thinking of this, Wei Xingshan couldn't help but look down at the assault rifle in his hand.

Lin Shuo had reminded him a long time ago that Wei Xingshan didn't take it seriously at the time.

Until now, for the first time in his life, he began to doubt whether the thing in his hands would work or not.

After that arrow was shot, Lin Shuo looked like a normal person.

But when I went back to the tent and sat cross-legged, sweat poured down like a spring.

Lin Shuo just sat like this, and waited until his clothes were soaked with sweat, then he let out a long breath and took off his clothes.

After drying himself off and changing into a dry undershirt, Lin Shuo got into the sleeping bag.

In less than ten seconds, there was loud snoring in the tent.

When Lin Shuo opened his eyes again, he found Anne sitting beside him.

This beautiful woman was staring at herself with a worried look on her face.

"How long have I been asleep?" Lin Shuo shook his head and sat up.

"Two hours." Anne asked.

"You've been waiting here for two hours?"

"Yeah." Anne nodded, and then a blush flashed across her face, and she explained, "You've been guarding us for several nights, so I should guard you for a while."

While talking, Anne seemed to feel that she was getting darker and darker, so she quickly changed the subject: "That arrow took a lot of energy, didn't it?"

"En." Lin Shuo responded, got out of the sleeping bag, put on his shoes, then raised his head and said, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"I'll get it right away." Anne smiled, stood up and said.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Shuo's expression tightened, and he twitched his nose, "Have Wei Xingshan and the others come back?"

"not yet."

Lin Shuo's face suddenly became very ugly, he stood up abruptly, and walked quickly to the outside of the tent.

Anne was confused, followed Lin Shuo out of the tent, and saw Liu Qing standing outside with a walkie-talkie in her hand.

Anne was about to say hello, but found Liu Qing's expression was very strange.

It was an expression of a sudden and huge blow, the whole face was wooden, and the eyes were slack.

"What's wrong?" Anne asked.

"Team Wei and the others have an accident."
