Hearing Qin Lin talk about entering the mountain, a surprised expression surfaced on Meng Shusheng's face.

If it wasn't for this incident, he would have lost his life. As a forest ranger with a few decades of experience, entering the mountain was a common occurrence for Meng Shusheng. He was not the least bit afraid.

But now, his heart was at a loss.

Meng Shusheng's reaction, was witnessed by Qin Lin. However, this was not something he could persuade, nor could he force them to follow him into the mountains to search for the Many-Banded Krait. What Qin Lin could do was to wait, and wait for Meng Shusheng to give him the choice that he hoped for.

"Mr. Qin, if I provide you an approximate area for Many-Banded Krait to live in, can you not enter the mountain? "Now that my leg is healed, I understand that I am old and am no longer the outstanding hunter from a few decades ago."

Saying that, Meng Shusheng looked at Qin Lin without leaving a trace, his old face turning red in embarrassment. As a forest ranger, he knew very well that this argument sounded reasonable, but it was actually somewhat laughable.

In the Yin Mountain Range, the jungle made up for the ups and downs of the terrain. How could he explain it clearly with just his oral skills?

"There's no need to be embarrassed. If you think it through, I won't force you!"

Although he was a little disappointed, Qin Lin did not want to ask for anything in return. Now that he had entered the mountain, he would definitely face many dangers. He had no right to force the other party into action.

"Mr. Qin, I …"

Meng Shusheng wanted to explain, but he understood that there was nothing he could do about it. The atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing. Qin Lin was not anxious, he just stood there quietly, looking out of the window at the great rivers and mountains, and did not say a word for a long time.

"I can follow you into the mountains, but you have to promise me one thing!"

Hm?

Why did he suddenly agree?

Originally, Qin Lin had already given up after hearing Meng Shusheng's words. He planned to rely on Meng Shusheng's possible clues to test his luck in the mountain. Unexpectedly, Meng Shusheng suddenly agreed, even though there was another request!

"Tell me, I can't guarantee anything, but as long as I can do it, I won't shirk!"

Qin Lin turned, and after giving Meng Shusheng a deep look, he said while laughing. This smile looked somewhat unfamiliar. It was no longer as gentle and gentle as the spring wind, but rather more distant.

At this moment, Qin Lin was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart. Because he felt that Meng Shusheng wanted to take this opportunity to gain some benefits. And this person who had asked for his benefits had just recovered from his painstaking treatment a few days ago. In other words, Meng Shusheng's current performance was to not repay kindness, which was why he was not happy!

"I didn't mean it that way. My request is very simple, as long as you enter, you will listen to everything I say!"

Meng Shusheng had lived for more than half his life, and in an instant, he realized Qin Lin's misunderstanding about him, and immediately explained.

So it was like this?

On the other hand, I am acting like a petty person!

Qin Lin felt a burst of awkwardness in his heart, but he secretly blamed Meng Shusheng for not finishing his words in one go.

"Naturally!"

After adjusting his mental state, Qin Lin was too lazy to discuss it with Li Boran, so he agreed directly.

Li Boran originally had some doubts, but since Qin Lin had agreed to it, he could not refute them. Furthermore, compared to this, the soul poison was even more important.

"That's good!"

Meng Shusheng's muddy eyes flickered for a moment, as he heaved a sigh of relief. Although Qin Lin felt puzzled, he did not ask in detail.

Immediately, the three of them communicated with each other about the time to enter the mountain. Meng Shusheng told the two that he met the Many-Banded Krait that day at dusk, and that the Many-Banded Krait was active during the night. It's not too far from here, so we can start in the afternoon.

Since they had already agreed to Meng Shusheng's suggestion, the two of them naturally had no objections. The morning passed just like that. In the afternoon, everyone was ready to go. Other than the three of them, there were also two other excellent officials from Security Division. Both of them were carrying a large package filled with emergency items.

It had to be said that for Li Boran to have his current status, there were many points of light on his body. At least Qin Lin himself didn't think of such a thing.

"Uncle Meng, where are you guys going? Yah, why are your legs healed so quickly? Weren't you broken just a while ago? "

"Eh, it really is better now. I say, old man Meng, did you eat some magical medicine? Other people would have their bones broken for at least a hundred days, how are you able to recover so quickly? "

"…"

On the way out of the village, they encountered many villagers. Without exception, these villagers showed great interest towards Meng Shusheng for recovering so quickly. It could be seen that he had quite a good reputation in the village.

Towards the curiosity of these people, Meng Shusheng did not explain anything, he only smiled and shook his head.

The five of them left the village, boarded the SUV that had been waiting for them on the roadside, and drove away towards the foot of the Shadow Mountain. On the way, Meng Shusheng talked about some of the things he needed to pay attention to, and Qin Lin and the others memorized them one by one, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The Shadow Mountain, the largest group of mountains near the Kunjiang City. Some of the outer regions had already been developed into tourist attractions. However, most of the areas inside had never been developed because the conditions weren't ripe yet.

Quite a few large wild beasts lived within this mountain range. For example, the incomparably strong wild boars, Blind Bear, and so on. If an ordinary person were to meet him, it could be said that he would definitely die. As for Qin Lin's group, although they were equipped with guns, they did not dare to be careless.

Regarding the question of whether or not to shoot, Meng Shusheng had specifically emphasized that as long as there was no other choice, he should not shoot. This was because it would alarm the other wild beasts in the mountain. Furthermore, the mountain god would not spare those who were evil in the mountains.

Qin Lin and the others did not believe the Mountain God's words, but they did not say them either. The reason why they agreed not to recklessly shoot was because they did not want to hurt the aboriginals. With the development of technology, the living area of wild animals was being compressed by humans, and the environment was getting worse.

The result of this was that the number of wild animals decreased rapidly. They were doing this all for the sake of saving someone, so they naturally couldn't casually kill someone.

About twenty minutes later, the SUV stopped in front of an entrance of the Shadow Mountain. After getting off the car, they discussed a little bit and then walked towards the mountain.

Because he had chosen a more difficult route, he did not run into any visitors, and thus, there was less trouble.
