[Hunter] Soul Link

34. Ruin X Excavation X Injury

The huge luxuriant trees cover the sky, and the hot sun shines through the dense leaves. Although it is under the shade, it is still sultry.It is conceivable that if there is no shelter from the trees, under the direct sunlight of this temperature, even the immortal will peel off its skin.

The entire forest area is covered with three or four layers of vegetation, and occasionally streams and lakes can be seen flying by.The trees are shady and lush, forming the most beautiful natural scenery under the sunlight, like a huge emerald green maze.It's just that the more beautiful things are, the more they are full of unknown dangers.

The thick and winding tree roots protrude from the ground because of their large size, and they are uneven in thickness and thickness. Walking on it is far less easy than on flat ground.After just over two hours of marching, ordinary people have already begun to feel tired. Although those bulky detection equipment and scientific research tools have been taken into the ability space by another hunter named Barter, due to the overheated weather and frequent The threats from poisonous insects and dangerous creatures that need to be guarded against still cost them a lot of energy.

"Jin, let's have a grilled snake feast tonight, Dabu." Lu Xiuxiu said as he grabbed a green mamba that was trying to attack him among the leaves. It was a poisonous snake that likes to perch on trees.I saw that it was full of emerald green, with distinct and beautiful scales, and it turned dark green in the sun like emerald gems.

"Haha, yes, yes." Before Jin had time to speak, the people around him had already answered for him, sweeping away the previous fatigue and suddenly having expectations and becoming very excited.Only one day has passed, and Lu Xiuxiu has conquered them with delicious food. "Work harder and hurry up, finish early and eat early haha!"

"You are really a bunch of foodies, hahaha." Jin laughed, "It seems that I found this kid is the right thing to do, it is really necessary for home travel."

"Isn't that right, whoever marries him will be so happy." The person who spoke was an old man with big eyes and spirit. He is an archeology expert and the oldest member of the team. "It's a pity, my daughter is already married and is much older than you, but my granddaughter just turned 15, do you want to think about it?"

Lu Xiuxiu: ...

"Old man Guta, you are too shameless. You sold your underage granddaughter just for ordering food." Lao Mi, the detection technician, couldn't help shaking his head and complaining. Long, everyone just omits the first word to address him.Lao Mi Lao Mi shouted, in fact, he is only 50 years old, not very old compared to Guta.

"What's wrong with me? Don't you always grab the barbecue and refuse to let it go, for fear that others will snatch it away. Don't laugh at fifty steps." Old man Guta sneered.

"Tch, then I'm fifty steps behind you. At least I didn't sell my daughter for my granddaughter." Uncle Mi didn't want to be outdone.

"You only have one son. You are jealous that I have a daughter and a granddaughter." Guta curled his lips, and said triumphantly, "Otherwise, marry your son to him! Hahahahahaha." He said I couldn't help laughing out loud, my airy appearance didn't look like a gray-haired scholar at all.

"You are old and disrespectful!" Lao Mi jumped up in anger.The people around were too embarrassed to laugh and had to hold back, their faces flushed.

"Ahem..." Jin had no choice but to come out to smooth things over and change the subject, "We're almost there, hurry up and act for me, stop talking nonsense."

Everyone stopped making fun of him immediately after hearing his words, and their expressions became serious. They received their tools from Barter one after another, and began to devote themselves to the work in their hands.Everyone performs their own duties and is clear about what they want to do. This is completely worthy of the name of Jin's professional team.

"Area No. [-] has been completely tidied up. For today's task, just finish the rest of No. [-] and No. [-] Area." Jin ordered in an orderly manner, "Kate, you and Bart are in charge of this place, and each of you will share one of them." District, we must ensure their safety."

"Well, don't worry, leave it to us, Master." Kate adjusted the blue hat on his head and nodded towards Jin.

"Okay, I trust you." Jin patted him on the shoulder, and then walked towards Lu Xiuxiu. "Let's go, you follow me to District [-] to have a look."

"En." Lu Xiuxiu nodded, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared into the jungle.In the past two days, Lu Xiuxiu learned a lot of knowledge about living in the wild with Jin, as well as some experience in practicing mind power, which benefited him a lot.

Soon the two came to the fourth area of ​​the ruins.The first No. [-] area is relatively close and not far from each other, while the No. [-] area is in a relatively deep place, where dangerous monsters often appear.So it's completely off the beaten track.Of course, there is also a mysterious magnetic field here, which causes the mechanical equipment to lose its original sensitivity here.

So this is also the main reason why Jin seeks help. No matter how strong he is, he can't completely cover this area with circles, and he will cause unnecessary trouble by alarming nearby creatures.After all, there are many ordinary staff around him, and he can't protect them all the time.

"What do you think?" Jin stepped on the gravel and looked at the ruined walls that could no longer be seen in front of him.Occasionally, one or two poisonous insects drilled out from the cracks in the broken wall and circled around his feet, as if to check whether the other party could give him a full meal.It's just that they retreated silently in the end. This pair of shoes looked bad and smelled weird...

Someone who didn't know that he was disgusted by the poisonous insects continued, "Let's take a look at the approximate extent of the damage today..." Jin sighed, "It really doesn't work, let the four of us take turns cleaning it together. It’s just that the speed will be slower, but this place is indeed more dangerous than before, if one is not careful, it will be buried in it, or attacked by poisonous insects and monsters. I can’t let Lao Mi and the others take such a big risk.”

"Well, fine." Lu Xiuxiu had no objection at all, "Just don't forget my overtime pay." As he spoke, he took out a detailed drawing of the No. [-] ruins from his bag and handed it to Jin. It is what it is.Then he took out a black and white [-]D structural diagram of the ruins and a pencil.

"I thought we were already friends." Jin took the drawing dumbfounded, "Are you so short of money?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Xiuxiu rolled his eyes at him, "If it wasn't for being poor, I, a gourmet hunter, would have nothing to go to dig the ruins in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"It sounds like you food hunters don't make much money?" Jin asked curiously.

"It's about the same. Or if you work as a chef for the rich, you can't actually earn much. If you open your own shop, the strict requirements for food will not make us much money, and ordinary people can't accept those special food. So this is also It loses our meaning as a gourmet hunter, and what is the difference between us and ordinary chefs?"

Lu Xiuxiu explained the embarrassing situation of food hunters, "Most people often choose to go deep into dangerous places in order to discover new delicacies, but then they don't even want to make money. It's no wonder everyone wants to choose to be a bounty hunter, as long as The money for killing people just keeps coming.”

He couldn't help but think of Hisoka, who earned a lot of money by being a killer so casually, and leisurely watching the night view and tasting red wine on his private airship... It can be said to perfectly explain the complete integration of hobbies into a career.And he... Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, some things can't be forced, he really envies someone.

"Let's go...I want to work hard to make money." Lu Xiuxiu wiped away tears that didn't exist and looked at Jin. "Where do we start?"

"..." Jin also reached out and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, "Let's search slowly from the outside to the inside." He compared the original appearance of the ruins on the map, and then his fingers stopped on a certain area area, "start here."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiuxiu compared the place pointed by Jin with the three-dimensional structure diagram in his hand, and then nodded. "I see, let's get started."

Speaking of them coming to that area, Lu Xiuxiu put the drawing on a discarded stone slab, and sat on the ground with his legs crossed in meditation.This is his most relaxed posture, allowing him to achieve complete concentration.

I saw Lu Xiuxiu slowly closing his eyes, sending out countless thoughts to connect to the countless poisonous insects living in the ground.Jin, on the other hand, guarded against possible dangers at any time and protected Lu Xiuxiu's safety.

After a while, Lu Xiuxiu suddenly opened his eyes, and quickly picked up a pencil to draw on the drawing.Soon, it was written densely and densely across the entire area to which it belongs.

"Okay, let's change to another place."

Jin nodded, found another area, and began to repeat the previous steps.Time always passes quickly when you concentrate on doing things, and the sky has slowly begun to darken.

"It's almost there, let's come back tomorrow." Feeling the sudden drop in body temperature, Jin looked up at the sky and said.The temperature difference between day and night here is very large. At night, all kinds of monsters will come out to look for food, and the entire forest will become very dangerous.

"En." Lu Xiuxiu got up and rubbed his slightly swollen temples wearily. Apart from his mental power, his mental power was consumed even more today.He glanced at the map that had just been filled to less than a third, and frowned. "Let Kate come and help me tomorrow. My ability can share the five senses with others at the same time." If he is alone, the efficiency is too low. If there are two people, one day tomorrow will be enough.

"Okay." Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Anyway, they should be almost finished tomorrow, and I will ask Kate to come over to help. The others will rest at the temporary base first, and I can rest assured that Bart is looking at me."

"Well, let's go." Lu Xiuxiu thought about the snakes in his bag, and just wanted to go back quickly so that he could eat delicious grilled snakes and snake soup.

The two quickly shuttled through the forest, and soon returned to the third area.I saw Kate waiting for them at the entrance with a little anxiety.

"What's the matter?" Jin frowned, and when he saw the other party's expression, his heart skipped a beat. "Is someone hurt?"

"Well, Lao Mi was injured by a large stone slab that suddenly fell." Kate blamed herself a little. "He was injured to save Professor Guta."

"How could it be, is it serious?" Lu Xiuxiu also asked worriedly.Although they have only been together for less than two days, they have become companions and friends.Kim, too, looked at Kate waiting for his answer when he asked this question.

"It's a bit troublesome. I was hit on the back, and some of the spine may be broken. But it's not life-threatening for the time being."

"Then let's go back quickly. It's getting late, and I'll carry him away later." Jin calmed down quickly, as long as he was alive, there was hope.

"En." The two nodded, and followed Jin to the place where Lao Mi was lying.I saw Guta sitting next to him with red eyes and wiping his body with a wet towel to cool down. Because of the injury, he started to have a high fever.

"You are here!" Guta rushed forward as if seeing a savior. "It's all me, it's all because of me..." He covered his face in pain, not wanting everyone to see his embarrassment.

"Let's talk about it when we go back." Jin patted him on the shoulder comfortingly. "Don't worry, leave the rest to me, and nothing will happen."

"Hmm... um." Guta nodded, "It may be difficult for him to move, the injured part is in the spine, in case a broken bone hurts the nerve..."

Jin Wenyan frowned, "Then what should we do? Two people walking on the ground?" The ground in the forest is uneven, and it is difficult for even a trained hunter to keep the same pace and carry the person back without moving.And the sky is getting dark, if you can't go back in time, it will be more troublesome.If it doesn't work, he can only go to his friends with healing abilities, even if he is paralyzed, he can restore him to his original state.But he didn't know where he was at this time, which was really troublesome.

"It's okay, leave it to me." Lu Xiuxiu suddenly said at this time.
