After resting for about twenty minutes, Professor Holt asked the team to set off again.
Before leaving, Shu Guan looked back again at the small colorful grass under the tree.
Of course, Colorful Grass didn't really smile at him, it was just that he was in a daze just now.
But Shuguan's heart was still full of strange feelings.
In the past, only the old cripple could find the seven-leaf clover in Taoyuan Village. Shu Guan followed him, and it was often not until the old cripple bent down to pick up the seven-leaf grass that he discovered it as an afterthought.
But today, Shu Guan saw colorful grass himself!
Shu Guan continued to walk at the front of the team. He would still circle around from time to time, and then secretly sprinkle some brown powder in the grass or under the roots of trees.
In the meantime, Professor Holt gave everyone another break.
This time, Shu Guan seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally sitting next to the middle-aged man named Han Biao. He took off the huge bow from behind, took out a piece of cloth from the bamboo basket, lowered his head and wiped the bow carefully. body.
Han Biao didn't pay attention at first, he just sat there with a solemn expression on his face, frowning, but not long after, his eyes finally fell on Shu Guan's bow.
Even in this situation, Han Biao still had a flash of surprise and admiration in his eyes.
"Good bow."
These two words came out of his mouth.
Those white men didn't pay attention to the bow Shu Guan was carrying, but Han Biao knew how to bow.
"This bow can pierce a three-hundred-pound wild boar with one arrow."
Shu Guan raised his head, grinned at him and said.
Han Biao was suddenly silent for a moment, and then asked another question.
"How far can it shoot?"
Shuguan stopped wiping the bow, thought about it seriously, and then replied very carefully:
"Within three hundred and fifty steps, I have no problem."
Han Biao looked at Shu Guan's legs and quickly estimated the boy's 350 steps, which was roughly how many meters away.
That's far beyond the range of a submachine gun.
Then a strange light flashed in Han Biao's eyes.
Then neither of them spoke anymore.
Xu Chuxiang, who was sitting next to them, glanced at the two of them inexplicably.
She always felt that the conversation between the two people just now was a bit strange, but she couldn't explain why.
After a few minutes, Professor Holt asked everyone to start again.
When Han Biao stood up, Chao Shuguan shook his head imperceptibly.
…
We set out early in the morning and rested twice. At noon, the group finally climbed to the middle of the cliff.
A few dozen meters above, there is a cliff as smooth as a mirror, and there is no real road ahead.
Shu Guan stopped, pointed to the protruding stones on the cliff and the thick wild vines hanging from above, and said to Professor Holt:
"From here on, we can only step on these stones and grab the wild vines to move forward. Then there is a cave over there. Through the cave, you can reach the Immortal Temple."
Professor Holt followed Shu Guan's hand and saw the entrance of a cave looming thousands of meters away on the cliff wall, between the dense vines.
Finally found!
That should be the cave painted in Shi Zibin's scroll painting!
Professor Holt breathed a long sigh of relief.
You really can't see the hole from the helicopter.
Then out of his usual caution, Professor Holt turned to McGraw and said:
"You and Karl go over there first, confirm the situation there, and then send the signal back."
McGraw nodded, and then he and Karl held the vines, stepped on the protruding rocks, and climbed toward the cave over there.
For mercenaries like them, this journey is actually easier.
Half an hour later, a green signal flare was raised at the entrance of the cave over there.
This is a sign that everything is safe.
A smile appeared on Professor Holt's face. At this moment, he finally couldn't wait any longer. Instead of ordering Shu Guan and others to leave first, he told his assistants James and Larsen a few words and asked them to supervise the others to go there in batches. , because on such a narrow and dangerous road, if someone suddenly resists, it is indeed easy to have an accident.
Despite his urgency, Professor Holt remained cautious.
Especially when he specifically asked Xu Chuxiang to go with him, but left Han Biao here.
It shows that he is still a little wary of Han Biao, and taking Xu Chuxiang there was to show his intention to treat her as a hostage.
After Professor Holt passed by, James ordered Wang Dahu and others to carry the wooden box, and they also passed in pairs.
At this time, Shu Guan deliberately stepped back, avoiding James' sight.
"Larsen, I'll go over too, and then you ask the remaining two people to come over, and then you come over last."
Larsen nodded in understanding.
So James also started taking the dangerous path on the cliff.
And on the cliff here, there are only three people left.
One is Larson who killed Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu.
One is Han Biao, who cut off one of Larsen's fingers last night.
Another one is Shu Guan.
A very interesting combination.
Larson held the gun with his left hand and stared at Han Biao fiercely, his eyes full of hatred.
Han Biao cut off one of his right index fingers. The injury didn't look serious, but for a mercenary who relied on guns to make a living, it was equivalent to wiping out nearly half of Larson's combat effectiveness. It was uncertain whether he would be able to get another job in the future. .
Unless he can make his left hand as strong as his right hand.
This was of course a deep hatred, but maybe Professor Holt had sternly warned him not to hurt Xu Chuxiang and Han Biao, so even though his eyes were about to burst into flames, he did not do anything to Han Biao after all.
Shu Guan also looked at Han Biao thoughtfully, but Han Biao did not look at him.
Not looking means rejection.
This is the second time Han Biao refuses Shu Guan.
After the first few words of conversation, Han Biao rejected Shu Guan. Shu Guan was not surprised. They were not familiar with each other. How could Han Biao choose to take risks just because of his few words.
Shu Guan was not surprised that Han Biao rejected him for the second time, because Xu Chuxiang was under the control of the old white man at this time. As a guard, Han Biao was even less likely to take risks.
Seeing that Han Biao ignored him, Shu Guan glanced at the mountains and forests behind him, as if expecting something.
"You, come over."
Larsen pointed the gun at Han Biao, waved it, and said something in Yinjili.
Han Biao walked forward, grabbed a vine, and stepped onto the first raised rock.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise in the jungle behind him.
So the three people turned around and looked.
They saw the leaves swaying in the jungle, and there was a constant sound of branches breaking, as if some huge creature was approaching them quickly.
Han Biao and Larson both had wary looks on their faces.
They all knew that there were legends of savages in the Shennongjia Mountains, and at this time, an idea inevitably occurred to them.
Could it be that the legendary savage appeared?
Only Shu Guan's eyes flashed.
finally come!
Then he quietly stepped back and took off the bamboo basket behind him.
Seconds later, a wild boar burst out of the jungle.
It was a dark, huge wild boar, weighing at least five hundred kilograms, with two huge sharp tusks. It ran like a small bulldozer. Along the way, even trees as thick as the mouth of a bowl were covered. , was also broken by it.
The wild boar was somehow stimulated. Its eyes were as red as blood, and with a low growl, it rushed towards the three people on the edge of the cliff.
When we went up the mountain today, Professor Holt asked Shu Guan if there were any tigers or leopards in the mountains and forests here.
Shuguan's answer was no, only wild boar.
Shu Guan didn't lie, there were indeed no other beasts here.
Wild boars are not considered ferocious beasts.
But not the wild boar.
Under normal circumstances, the wild boar's temper is not gentle, but it is not too aggressive, but if it goes crazy, the situation is completely different.
Let's put it this way, a crazy wild boar, especially a wild boar weighing more than 400 kilograms, let alone tigers, leopards, jackals, even blind bears must stay away from it.
Not to mention a wild boar king weighing about 500 pounds at this moment.
If it hits head-on, the bones and tendons will be broken easily.
Larsen also realized the critical situation, his expression suddenly changed, he turned his gun, and fired at the charging wild boar.
Countless blood flowers burst out from the wild boar's body.
But the wild boar is still running.
Because its skin is too thick, those bullets hitting its body will be immediately offset by its armor-like thick skin, making it difficult to cause real fatal injuries. Unless it can hit its vitals, it will To kill it, I'm afraid it would take several magazines of bullets.
Larson's right index finger has been broken, and he now uses his left hand.
Larsen was not used to using his left hand, so he could not aim at the vital points of the wild boar.
The most important thing was that when the wild boar burst out of the jungle, it was already very close to them.
The distance of tens of meters flew by in a matter of seconds, and they were about to collide.
At this time, Shu Guan, who had been prepared for a long time, had already retreated to a suitable distance.
Looking at Larsen who was about to be hit by a wild boar, a strange color flashed across Shu Guan's eyes.
Then he took off the huge bow from his back, drew the arrow, nocked it, pulled the string, and took aim.
The bow is stretched like the full moon.
All movements are done in one go, flowing smoothly and naturally.
Finally, watch and relax your fingers.
The next moment, there was only a loud "collapse" sound, and the sound of the bowstring even drowned out the sound of submachine gun fire.
An arrow shot through the air, like a stream of light, with a shocking whistling sound, and went straight into the head of the wild boar just above its nose.
The five-hundred-pound wild boar king howled for the last time in his life, and his huge body finally fell down in front of Larsen.
