This fern forest seems to have no end.
Using his feet to measure the dark forest, Wei Xingshan felt that no one else had done such a stupid thing except himself.
It's almost six o'clock in the afternoon now.
Fifteen hours have passed since we set off at three o'clock in the morning today, and the surrounding environment is still the same as that of a bird.
The Green Leaf Mantis, Wei Xingshan couldn't count how many he had killed.
Anyway, after twenty, he stopped counting.
In addition to the green leaf mantis, Wei Xingshan also killed a giant tiger centipede. Of course, this is also the species that Yang Tuo just named. The cause of its death was that it was too ugly and walked too close.
There was also a giant grasshopper. When it jumped and landed, it didn't choose a good landing point. It hit the top of the team and was also picked up by Wei Xingshan with a single shot.
Anyway, for the past ten hours or so, Wei Xingshan held a long spear in his hand, and he felt a sense of exhilaration as if gods blocked and killed gods, and Buddhas blocked and killed Buddhas.
But carefree is carefree, he knew in his heart that he was so invincible because Lin Shuo blocked him with a knife in front of him.
He killed those things by himself, in fact, Lin Shuo let him practice. The really powerful ones had already died under Lin Shuo's sword.
Because of the limited brightness of the headlights, he couldn't see exactly what and how many Lin Shuo had killed.
In short, after walking for more than ten hours, the road is straight.
Right now, the excitement brought about by the killing has long since passed.
Wei Xingshan didn't think it was a big deal when he first started using the spear weighing more than 60 kilograms. But after stabbing all the way, the lactic acid accumulated in the arm muscles had no time to decompose, and now these two arms, Wei Xingshan felt that they were not his own.
"The more this is the time, the more you have to persevere." Lin Shuo said in front, "The accumulation of muscle strength in the human body is a cycle of tearing and healing. You just tear your muscles right now, and I will help you when they heal later. .”
"Old Lin, are you trying to make me a monster like you?" Wei Xingshan said in a muffled voice.
"It's impossible to be like me." Lin Shuo said flatly, "However, since Ms. Anne said that she might continue to cooperate in the future, you, the operation captain, can't always be such a waste."
"Okay." Wei Xingshan did not refute, and then said, "But Lao Lin, in this day and age, you hunters should also use hot weapons? Cold weapons, after all, are still limited in power. Take the snake hook for example, the general Bullets may not help, but we have more powerful guys."
"That's right, cold weapons are limited by human power, and their power is limited after all." Lin Shuo said, "However, some benefits of cold weapons are not available for hot weapons."
"for example?"
"One is the low failure rate. The simpler the structure, the lower the failure rate. The current thermal weapon has a relatively complicated structure, which will cause failure. In our business, once the guy in hand says no, then Just one death." Lin Shuo said, "In addition, cold weapons are relatively light."
"The failure rate is right, so let's save it if it's light." Wei Xingshan said, "I can bring a cannon over with the same weight as the gun on your body."
"Can artillery pass through such a dense forest?" Lin Shuo asked rhetorically.
"This... that's fine."
"And the most crucial point." Lin Shuo said, "Using cold weapons can allow the user to enter a real fighting state."
"Then when we soldiers hold up our guns, aren't we in a fighting state?" Wei Xingshan asked rhetorically.
"You are slaughtering or being slaughtered." Lin Shuo said, "The power of the weapons in your hands is far from your own combat power. Naturally, you will be spoiled by the weapons in your hands.
This is why your old Wei Mingming is outstanding in the military industry, but when you really do it, you are still such a waste. "
Lin Shuo's words stunned Wei Xingshan for a moment.
"Difficulties will temper people." Lin Shuo said, "The chasing master behind me, to pull it away, I must have the corresponding strength, so my strength must be at least this big. You Wei Xingshan usually do a few in the gym. Deadlifts can be used to pretend, then your strength level, you can only pull the trigger, which is very realistic."
"Your words are reasonable, I have to practice hard."
"It's too late to start practicing now." Lin Shuo shook his head, "Practicing is all about talent and timing. Your talent is so-so, but you're in your thirties this year, and your physiology has reached its peak. No matter how you practice, the upper limit is not high. But practicing a little bit is better than waiting for death."
"Then you old Lin, how did you practice before?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"My family's method is to pass it on to your sons and not to your daughters, and to pass it on from inside to outside." Lin Shuo said with a smile, "If you want to hear it, you have to call me Dad first."
"I won't bark!" Wei Xingshan yelled, and then he seemed to think of something, "Hey, Lao Lin. You let me call you Miss Anne's mother for a while, and your father for a while. It's big enough!"
Hearing this, Lin Shuo almost staggered.
Then he seemed to have discovered something, and he stood still.
Wei Xingshan panicked when Lin Shuo paused. He was afraid that Lin Shuo would beat someone if he made too much of a joke just now.
A good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, this giant man hastily admitted his mistake: "Boss, I was wrong!"
Lin Shuo turned around and took a look at Wei Xingshan, then took a step sideways, and showed everyone what he saw just now.
The batteries of Wei Xingshan's headlights have been replaced twice, and it is time for the battery to be fully charged.
The light illuminated the road ahead, but Wei Xingshan found that there was no road ahead.
A wall stood in front of everyone.
This is a city wall made of black bricks.
…
The black and white image of the black brick city wall is in Cao Yusheng's hands at this moment.
This is a fax, Cao Yusheng just received it half an hour ago.
After receiving this fax, Cao Yusheng asked his driver to prepare the car, and he was going to the Capital International Airport.
The plane ticket to the United States was actually booked yesterday. This fax is the evidence that the other party let him go to the United States, and it is also a reminder.
Sitting in the back seat of his luxury car at this moment, Cao Yusheng looked at the fax in his hand, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to thirty years ago.
Among the six masters of Liemen, he, Cao Yusheng, is the current Patriarch of "Yanjing Cao" among them.
Thirty years ago, he was a handsome young man who had just turned 20 and belonged to the offshoot of the Cao family.
With his status at the time, he felt that it was an achievement to get acquainted with those three people.
Of these three people, one is Lin Leshan, the direct descendant of "Jiangnan Lin".
One is Miao Guangqi, the main descendant of "Xiangxi Miao".
There is also a woman named Yun Yuexin who is the only descendant of "Huguangyun" who has walked the world for nearly a hundred years.
These three men and one woman met each other in their best years. The man was full of vigor, and the woman was beautiful. This friendship soon came to an end, and Lin Leshan finally embraced the beauty.
Cao Yusheng and Miao Guangqi were heartbroken and sympathetic to each other. They went to the northeast to hunt and kill a strange creature called "Mountain Hades".
In the process of searching for this strange creature, Cao Yusheng inadvertently inquired about the legend of "Dragon City".
Although Cao Yusheng is a member of Liemen, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and is also proficient in history.
He knows that this kind of folklore is often not groundless, but has a prototype.
And these legends of Dragon City are spread all over the Northeast. Although the descriptions are not the same, they are basically the same thing, which aroused Cao Yusheng's interest.
The "Mountain Hades" appeared elusively, and Cao Yusheng and Miao Guangqi quickly lost the clues.
Anyway, being idle was idle, and the two began to study Dragon City instead.
While inquiring about the existing domestic historical materials, the two conducted on-the-spot investigations and searches. As a result, they stayed in the Northeast for more than a year, and they almost ran all over the coast of Heilongjiang without finding anything.
After that, Miao Guangqi went to the United States to develop, and Cao Yusheng returned to the foot of Yanshan Mountain.
Those more than a year were the darkest time in Cao Yusheng's life.
Frustrated in love, to do some things, to deliberately make myself busy, to be able to forget that woman, but failed.
Normally, he deliberately doesn't recall that time. In the past thirty years, he can only think of these things twice.
One time, six years ago, Lin Leshan sent a telegram inviting him to go to Kunlun Mountain together, but he refused.
The other time was the photo of Junci sent by Miao Guang three days ago, telling him that "Dragon City" did exist.
And the black-and-white photo of the city wall in his hand is also reminding him that Miao Guangqi seems to have "found" Dragon City in the United States.
A woman who has been missing for thirty years is still missing.
And a city that has been lost for eight hundred years has now been found.
Cao Yusheng smiled wryly, folded the fax in his hand, and put it in his briefcase.
