Anne lay on her side on the icy ground, and there was a "whoosh" in her ear.
I saw a white ribbon-shaped thing brushing past my body, and then it swept straight towards the crowd.
This thing shoots out of the dark with incredible speed, taking people by surprise!
A silver glow lit up in the darkness, and Lin Shuo drew his dagger out of its sheath, cutting off the white ribbon-shaped thing in the air.
At the same time, he grabbed Anne's arm and threw her in the direction of the crowd.
Wei Xingshan had quick eyes and quick hands, and put down the gun he had just raised, freeing both hands, intending to catch Anne who was thrown by Lin Shuo.
Unexpectedly, Anne kicked off the cave wall with her left foot, flipped beautifully in mid-air, and landed firmly on the ground.
When the woman was in the air, she had already pulled out the gun at her waist, and when she landed, she was facing Lin Shuo's direction.
Anne's flowing movements didn't arouse everyone's admiration, because they didn't care.
"What?" Wei Xingshan asked loudly.
Headlamps and flashlights were all aimed in Lin Shuo's direction, and everyone could only see the man's thin back and the huge bow behind him.
Other than that, nothing can be seen.
"Don't follow." Lin Shuo instructed, and with a sway, he disappeared under everyone's lights.
Anne broke out in a cold sweat just now, but now she has calmed down a lot, and made a stop gesture to the back: "We will wait here."
Everyone was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet.
In their field of vision, the man and woman leading the team suddenly roared, posed in front of them for a while, and then disappeared.
The other fell suddenly, reappeared in mid-air, performed a set of movements that can only be seen in Olympic gymnastics, landed firmly, and then told them not to move.
what's the situation
Among this group of people, Wei Xingshan and Yang Tuo were the first to recover.
Wei Xingshan raised the assault rifle in his hand, together with Anne's pistol, aimed at the direction where Lin Shuo disappeared,
Yang Tuo, on the other hand, shone a light on the ground with a flashlight, and finally saw the half of the white strip-shaped object cut off by Lin Shuo clearly.
It was composed of white translucent silk threads as thick as a little finger, many of which were twisted together to form such a thing.
Not daring to be careless, Yang Tuo took out a pair of silicone gloves from his backpack, and slowly squatted down.
He touched the silk threads first, tested the corrosivity of the thing, and picked up one of them after making sure that there was no problem.
Yang Tuo felt that the thread was slippery, and there was a thin layer of mucus around it.
"This seems to be... spider silk?" He Zihong took a closer look, a little uncertain.
"No way?" Liu Qing said, "How can a spider's silk be so thick?"
"Yes." Another mercenary also said, "It's as thick as a little finger."
Yang Tuo took out the magnifying glass from his bag again, carefully looked at the internal structure of the silk thread, and then nodded: "It's not wrong, it's spider silk."
"Then how big is this spider!" Liu Qing's hairs all stood up.
"Miss Anne, Lao Lin just rushed over without a light. Nothing will happen, right?" Wei Xingshan asked.
Anne didn't answer.
"If something happens to him." Yang Tuo stood up at this time, took off the gloves on his hands, and adjusted his glasses, "We will die in vain if we go."
Wei Xingshan glanced at Yang Tuo and sighed: "That's the reason, but you can't say that."
Anne was disturbed by Wei Xingshan's words. She put away her pistol, bent down, and pressed her ears to the ground.
The river cave is surrounded by rocks, which is a good environment for Anne to perform "listen to the mountain".
Just now she was holding a gun, she looked serious and calm, but in fact she was so confused that she didn't even remember her special skills.
Anne pressed her mind and listened quietly to the sound of the earth.
Unexpectedly, in the land here, she did not hear any shocking movements.
She just heard the footsteps of a man walking towards this side at a leisurely pace.
Anne was already familiar with this kind of footsteps these days.
Hearing this voice, she would unconsciously feel a sense of security in her heart.
In the tent late at night, when she was lying in her sleeping bag and couldn't fall asleep, she put her ears to the ground to listen.
Sometimes in Lin Shuo's tent, this kind of footsteps could be heard.
It was confirmed that Lin Shuo was already walking back, and this guy's unhurried pace, exuding a sense of calmness, made Anne completely relieved.
She stood up and wiped the dust off her face with her hands in a panic.
Liu Qing, who was standing behind, saw Anne's action, everyone was a woman, and she understood in her heart.
So Liu Qing asked: "He's back?"
Anne's movement of wiping her face froze, and she put her hands down calmly: "Yes."
Sure enough, Lin Shuo's figure appeared in the lights of the crowd. He didn't come over, but waved: "Come here, I'm fine."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Anne walked a few steps quickly, followed Lin Shuo, and asked, "Is it a big spider?"
"No." Lin Shuo shook his head.
"Huh?" Anne was a little surprised.
He Zihong and Yang Tuo, two biologists, could make mistakes in their judgments
Walking and walking, Anne slowly smelled a strange smell.
It seems that something is rotting, and it doesn't smell bad, but it doesn't smell good.
"Look!" Wei Xingshan called with a flashlight.
Everyone looked at this beam of light, and suddenly felt creepy.
If it wasn't for the anticipation in their hearts, they would have almost exclaimed.
On the edge of the cave wall in the river ahead, a huge spider was paralyzed, just like a big round table. A big black lump, covered with hairy spikes all over the body.
But its head had already been smashed by Lin Shuo.
"Ah~~" Liu Qing suddenly let out a scream.
"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
All the mercenaries raised their guns.
"What's the situation?!" Wei Xingshan roared.
"It-it-it-it..." Liu Qing pulled out the pistol at her waist with a "whoosh", "It moved just now!"
"It's okay." Yang Tuo said calmly, "It's already dead, the movement just now was a nerve reflex."
"I was scared to death." Liu Qing put down the gun.
"You scared me to death." Wei Xingshan said in a muffled voice, "Liu Qing, you came from the sniper team anyway, don't be so startled."
"Oh." Liu Qing bowed her head in response.
"Captain Wei! Look!" Another mercenary beside Wei Xingshan shouted loudly.
Wei Xingshan was so frightened that he jumped lightly, turned around and slapped the soldier on the head: "I told you so! Don't be surprised!"
"There..." The soldier shrank his neck, and shone his flashlight in front of him, "There is another one over there."
Everyone looked along the light, and sure enough, there was a bigger spider paralyzed less than ten meters behind the first spider.
That head, as tall as a person, spread out there, blocking more than half of the entire river.
When everyone passed by this big guy, they clung to the wall on the other side, lowered their heads and closed their eyes, not daring to shine a light on it with flashlights or headlights.
It's too intrusive, if you take a look at it, you will definitely have nightmares at night.
Only He Zihong and Yang Tuo were two different species. They squatted over there for a while to study and collected some tissue samples.
When he walked out from the giant spider, He Zihong still had a smile on his face, and kept saying, "It's not in vain, it's not in vain."
"Teacher, I have a hunch." Yang Tuo said, "We will see many strange species like this in the future."
"Yes." He Zihong said with emotion, "No species exists alone. You can see that there are heat sources, oxygen, and water here. I think we may discover a whole new ecosystem."
The two scholars at the back began to be elated, and Anne, who was at the forefront of the team, finally understood why Lin Shuo denied his previous guess.
Indeed, not a spider.
There are many.
After passing by the big spider, there were more than a dozen dead spiders passing by.
The largest one is the one-person-tall one just now, and the smallest one is as big as a coffee table.
Anne counted, a total of fourteen large spiders.
But just as he was stunned for a moment, Lin Shuo rushed forward and solved everything.
By the time he lay down on the ground to listen to the movement, he had already settled all of this and was already walking back.
Master Zhui behind him obviously didn't use it, even the arrows were well inserted in the quiver.
He just used a dagger to kill these fourteen giant spiders in less than a minute in a strange environment that was almost absolutely dark.
Then he walked back like nothing happened.
Lin Shuo, who was walking beside Anne at the moment, was not hyperactive at all, and his breathing was very calm, and Anne could even guess the expression on his face.
It wasn't until this time that Anne really understood what a "hunter" was.
They are veritable killing machines in front of their prey.
"Your performance just now failed." Lin Shuo said suddenly.
"Huh?" Anne froze for a moment.
"The danger is already on your nose, and you haven't noticed it yet," Lin Shuo said.
"I..." Anne lowered her head slightly, "I was distracted just now."
"A hunter's skill is second to none. Keeping his mind is the most important thing." Lin Shuo said, "In this way, you can at least know how you died."
"I've made a note of it. Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your teaching." Anne said softly, her heart trembling when she was told.
Then Anne had a thought, and said, "Could it be that you have been aware of the danger ahead, and then deliberately talked about the satellite phone to disturb my mind, and wanted to test me?"
"What am I going to test you for? Eat enough to hold on?" Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, "It was too cold just now, my nose was frozen, and it will take some time to recover. Luckily for you, just before being attacked by spider webs, My sense of smell is back."
"Oh." Anne lowered her head and sighed, "So, the leak of the satellite phone is true?"
"Of course it's true." Lin Shuo said slowly, "You were distracted just now, is it because you suspected something in your heart but couldn't believe it?"
"No." Anne shook her head quickly, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, I won't be distracted again."
"It's better like this." Lin Shuo nodded, "There are more troublesome things ahead."
