Lin Shuo smoked a cigarette, and his face regained a little bloody color, but his expression was still hesitating, as if he was considering whether this matter should be said.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "The keel ring actually disappeared twenty-five years ago."

"Ah?" Anne looked surprised, "Is it missing?"

"To be precise, it was stolen." Lin Shuo sighed.

"Someone can actually steal a keel ring from the Lin family?"

"Of course not for ordinary people." Lin Shuo shook his head, "But it was my mother who stole this ring."

Anne's heart skipped a beat, her face full of surprise.

Lin Shuo continued, "Six years ago, there was news that the dragon bone ring was in Kunlun Mountain. So, my father took me with me and called a few people in the circle with good ability. These people each had secret techniques in the mountains and forests. My father promised them that whoever found the dragon bone ring would be his own."

Speaking of this, Lin Shuo looked at the expression on Anne's face and explained: "Of course I know that the dragon bone ring is of great significance, but for me and my father, this is an ancestral object, and it is some thoughts left by our ancestors. It is very precious, but it is not as good as relatives after all.

My mother disappeared with her stuff for nineteen years. My father never blamed her, just wanted to find her.

In order to find her, it is worth it even if you give up the keel ring.

We thought that by finding the keel ring, we would know her whereabouts.

But unexpectedly, it was a game.

Use the hook snake to overcome the tribulation, the dragon bone and the finger ring, the whereabouts of my mother, and the killing game set up."

Lin Shuo's words were no less than thunder in Anne's heart.

She curled up all over, held her knees with her hands, lowered her head and pursed her lips, and listened quietly.

At this time, Lin Shuo's words stopped, and Anne couldn't help but look up and asked, "Who is it? Will you set up such a killing game?"

"I don't know." Lin Shuo shook his head, "Actually, I know that it was a killing game, and it was also the conclusion I have come to slowly over the past six years when I have been constantly recalling the incident in my mind.

Because of the coincidence and abnormality, there were too many incidents. The hook snake had not passed the tribulation for more than six hundred years, but at that time it was said that it was going to pass the tribulation. The dragon bone ring and my mother were missing for nineteen years. With my father's connections, there was no news at all, but suddenly there was news. Moreover, it was a team of hunters that could not have happened, but something happened."

"Mr. Lin, I still can't believe it." Anne sighed, "What will happen to such a hunter team? Is that hook snake really that powerful?"

"This beast is strong, and it is not difficult to kill it with our team configuration six years ago." Lin Shuo shook his head, "However, we went up the mountain at that time, not for it. After all, this beast has a good reputation for being a good beast. So we searched on Kunlun Mountain for more than a month before finally entering its territory. As a result, on the first night we entered its territory, it passed the tribulation."

"What? It's really overcame the catastrophe?" Anne's eyes widened.

"At least, it looks like it." Lin Shuo said, "It didn't succeed at that time and was finally struck to death by lightning."

"Dead?"

"Dead."

"Then here now..."

"I don't know either." Lin Shuo shook his head, "There were too many strange things that night, and there were no clues at all. Therefore, the hook snake resurrected from the dead and appeared in the Outer Xing'an Mountains, which is the only clue I can grasp at the moment."

"Oh. So that's it." Anne nodded slightly, then asked, "How did these hunter seniors die?"

As soon as Anne asked this, she regretted it.

Because she saw Lin Shuo's face quickly turned pale, and her fingers began to tremble violently.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Anne apologized immediately.

Today, Lin Shuo has said enough. Judging from his usual performance, Anne can completely imagine the pain he suffered when he said those words just now.

So she suppressed her curiosity and said softly: "Mr. Lin, thank you for your trust in me. Let's stop talking about this today."

Lin Shuo nodded with his eyes closed and said softly: "Yes, it's better not to say it."

Anne was slightly stunned. She didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

At this time, a black shadow emerged from the rain curtain and fell in front of Lin Shuo.

Xiao Ba is back.

"Brother Shuo, there is something going on in the camp." The starling bird shook the rain all over his body and said, "You guys go and have a look."

...

Although the rain was heavy in the sky, the mountain road was even more muddy and difficult to walk. But this was not a problem for Lin Shuo and Anne, who were galloping in the mountains and forests.

Xiao Ba stopped on Lin Shuo's shoulder and introduced what he had learned before:

"Brother Shuo, you shouldn't have brought those two scholars with you. Are you in trouble now?"

"This morning, they went to the riverside secretly. Brother Shuo, it's normal that you didn't find it. These two guys are following us, knowing your specialty, and hiding from us from the leeward, the smell cannot be transmitted."

"As a result, what do you think, Yang Tuo, who climbed a tree and fell off the tree and broke his leg."

"The place where he broke his leg was the only place for villagers to return."

"When the villagers saw that there was someone lying on the ground, and there was an old man named He Zihong next to him. The old hunter on the ground knew him and had been to his house, but he didn't know him. This question, these two nerds exposed our camp."

"There are a group of big-headed soldiers in our camp, all of them are robbing them. That is a standard weapon!"

"The villagers carried Yang Tuo back to the camp with all their might. When they saw the gun, they thought we were sent by the Russian government to deal with the Black Water Dragon King."

"Then let's stop. I just worshiped the Dragon Prince, don't do it!"

"Wow, don't say it, the folk customs here are so fierce! Two hundred people, holding hunting rifles, surrounded our camp. Judging from the situation, either you die or I live!"

"Brother Shuo, this matter is difficult to deal with. Wei Xingshan's stupid big man was stunned."

The starling bird was nagging along the way, vividly.

Lin Shuo and Anne listened while rushing to the road, and knew the scene they were about to face.

After climbing over two hills, the temporary camp is on the opposite hillside.

After several days of continuous construction, the current temporary camp has become a scale.

Before, everyone was traveling lightly, and most of the logistics supplies were left in Jialinda.

After confirming that the target of this trip was nearby, Wei Xingshan sent a small team yesterday to transport supplies from Jialinda along the water route.

The current temporary camp is like a temporary command post, with seven large tents with six outside and one inside, showing the layout of stars supporting the moon.

The camp cannot be too far from the water source, so it is only two hills away from the village, and will sooner or later be discovered by locals.

However, no one cared about this before, after all, he had a guy in his hands and was confident.

Just in case, Wei Xingshan also brought people to use ammunition boxes and sacks in the past two days and built a circle of fortifications around the tent, but he did not expect it to come in handy so soon.

Now outside this temporary camp, there are already local villagers.

At this time, the rain had been a little lighter and the visibility was OK. Lin Shuo looked at the posture opposite and felt familiar inexplicably.

He remembered that in the book "The Legend of the Nine Provinces" at home, there was a "Picture of the Mountains" from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was painted as a scene of hunters surrounding the mountains and fighting tigers.

Hunters at that time were not as rare as they are now. They were still a common industry and were mostly ordinary people.

What Lin Shuo saw at the moment was this scene. The villagers surrounding the mountains stood very much like the "Picture of the Mountains", and they were also in groups of three or five, with a spacing of about ten meters between them, surrounding the temporary camp.

The difference is that in their hands, they are no longer U-shaped animal forks, but double-tube hunting rifles.

In the camp, Wei Xingshan, a big and eye-catching man, was holding the walkie-talkie in his hand and was talking nervously.

Lin Shuo turned his perspective and looked at the valley opposite. He soon discovered that Wang Yong and three mercenaries were quietly touching the mountain. It seemed that he wanted to clear a passage for the camp from the outside.

However, Wang Yong and his friends stopped more than 20 meters behind the villagers, and did not act rashly, but lurked.

"I'm still a little brainy." Anne saw all this and said softly, "If I really start, the situation will be out of control."

"Let's go and have a look." Lin Shuo waved his hand and walked quickly down the mountain.
