Chapter 299 Chase!!

Some large and heavy tools and other items that were not necessary for hunting were temporarily taken out, and only the necessary survival equipment and bullets were brought.

Uncle Zhao also reorganized Yue Feng’s hunting bag.

After finishing the hunting bag, Uncle Zhao handed his No. 16 hanging tube to Xiaowu and instructed: “There are many of you watching the house, and there will be no problem with the safety of the snow nest!

I’ll leave you my No. 16 rifle and twenty rounds of bullets. Xiaofeng and I will take the remaining one hundred rounds of bullets, plus Xiaowu’s Type 56 and a half!

The escaping jackals are all injured, so they definitely can’t run fast!

According to my estimation, if we track them at full speed, we can catch up with the jackals before dark. If everything goes well, we will be back early tomorrow morning, or at the latest before noon!

You three brothers will spend the night in the snow cave, remember to keep watch! It’s hard for three people to take turns, but you can’t let your guard down!

No one knows what’s in the mountains, so don’t gamble. You can’t afford the consequences if you lose!
Wear this watch to tell time!”

Before leaving, Uncle Zhao turned back and pointed at the snow wall that had been torn down by the jackals and said, “If you want to keep your snow den warm at night, you must rebuild the snow wall. You all saw its location and shape yesterday. You can’t be lazy about this!”

Xiaowen nodded: “Don’t worry, uncle, I’ll watch them, there will be no problem! You and Brother Feng, be careful!
By the way, you should also take some of this dry food with you. It’s too cold at night to bear without food!”

While speaking, Xiaowen took out six large meat buns, stuffed them into two iron boxes and forced them into Yue Feng’s backpack.

“Forget it, just take it with you! I was thinking of buying something to eat on the way! Let’s go, Xiaofeng!!”

Uncle Zhao did not refuse Xiao Tao’s kindness. He nodded, put his gun on his back and walked out of the camp.

Yue Feng finally sorted it out in his mind to make sure there was nothing missed. When he passed by the red dog that Xiao Tao had skinned, he took out his leg chop, cut off a large piece of lean meat from the hind leg and stuffed it into his backpack.

The big black eagle was only half fed in the morning. Logically speaking, it would be fine if it skipped a meal or two, but Yue Feng felt sorry for his eagle and would rather carry a slightly heavier baggage to carry food for the eagle at night.

With their teammates watching, Uncle Zhao and Yue Feng, each carrying a 56 rifle and leading a big yellow dog, quickly spotted the direction the jackal queen was running from and chased after her.

Compared to the morning when Sao was led by a bitter jackal, Sao now is more stable.

Many jackals were injured. Although these mountain animals are quite tough and durable, they will always bleed when they are injured. The smell of blood is the best signpost.

Even a sable can follow the smell to find the entrance of a hole under the snow, so chasing a fleeing pack of jackals is no problem at all.

Of the four hunting dogs that came out together, only Dahuang is the only one that is intact and uninjured.

This guy seemed to know that his companion was attacked and injured, so he worked extra hard when chasing him.

When traveling through the mountains and forests, we almost kept the hemp rope for the dog taut all the way.

The two men ran at full speed after reducing the weight on their bodies. Their speed was obviously faster than before, and they soon disappeared into the forest.

This chase lasted more than two hours.

During this period, Uncle Zhao relied on Dahuang’s guidance, as well as the footprints on the ground and occasional bloodstains to ensure the correctness of the tracking direction.

If there were a satellite in the sky locking onto the tracker and the jackals in front at the same time, it would be seen that the distance between the jackals and the humans was getting closer and closer.

The two men, a dog and an eagle crossed a red pine forest area of ​​at least seven or eight kilometers and soon arrived at a mountain area where larch and broad-leaved forests were mixed.

The mountain ridge here has become much gentler than before. At first glance, the shady side is a long gentle slope. The snow crust is frozen hard, and people can hear a creaking sound when walking on it, but it is almost impossible to collapse.

Uncle Zhao climbed to the ridge of the mountain, put his hands on his head and looked around. Seeing the footprints left by the jackals on the ground, he felt relieved.

“It should be not far ahead! How is it? Can you still hold on?” Uncle Zhao asked with concern.

Ever since Yue Feng traveled through time, he would go to the mountains whenever he had nothing to do. Climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, and with the good food, he had already built up his physique.

Although I’m breathing heavily at this moment, it’s still within the tolerable range and is far from reaching my physical limit.

“Not bad! How did you know he was almost caught up?”

“A feeling!
The jackals had been running in a straight line for the distance they had been escaping before. Now the shady slope in front of them had turned into a large slow slope, which was easier to walk on than the previous forest. So they started to turn and move along the ridge!
I guess their lair should be not far away!”

“This thing has very useful ears. Should we be on guard? Don’t let it be discovered in advance and tricked again!”

Uncle Zhao waved his hand: “No use!

It is true that the female jackal leader usually acts arrogantly in the jackal pack, but that is only when there are enough members in the pack. Now four of them have been killed in our hands, and there are not many left that will obey her orders!

Besides, we have two guns and more than a hundred rounds of bullets. Let alone a pack of jackals, even if we encounter a pack of wolves, we will shoot them!” What Uncle Zhao said was absolutely true. Guns are the courage of hunters. With two guns in hand and more than a hundred rounds of bullets, what kind of wild animals can get close to the two of us?

Even if it is a tiger, it has no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation unless it attacks by surprise.

“There’s a bloodstain over here. Take a look. Is it possible that an injured jackal ran too far and is bleeding profusely?”

Yue Feng suddenly noticed a conspicuous dark red bloodstain next to an oak tree out of the corner of his eye. The bloodstain spread on the snow shell, and the outer circle had turned into a gorgeous pink color.

Uncle Zhao looked down for a few times, then scanned the footprints next to him, roughly gestured and said, “It is likely that the wound on the front leg or shoulder blade has split!
Look at these four hoof prints. The print of the left front paw is obviously much lighter. It seems that the animal was injured and didn’t dare to land on the ground!

Jackals are ferocious, but also very united. Now that they have run so far, the other jackals will definitely not abandon their companions!
This is a good thing for us. The wounded will slow down the movement of the main force. I have a feeling that the distance should be very close!”

“Then let’s keep chasing them! Let’s try to catch them before dark!”

After a brief rest to catch their breath, the two men and the dog continued to chase forward.

The big black eagle in the sky was also very excited at the moment. At noon, when it saw the jackals running into the woods, it hesitated and did not continue chasing. Now its owner led it out to chase them. In the big black eagle’s mind, the target was very clear, which was the escaped jackals.

As the mountain slope slowed down, the trees in the forest became much sparser. Following the footprints, we crossed another ridge and looked around. There was another large rocky beach. The view instantly became much better.

The eagle has air superiority, and the thing it fears most when moving in the mountains is the dense forest blocking its vision. Now that the view is clear, the big black eagle immediately increases its flying altitude and begins looking for suspicious targets.

It was so high that it actually found it.

In a valley less than one kilometer away from Yuefeng Mountain, four jackals were taking a brief rest.

The young jackal queen had no scars on her body and her strength and energy were still relatively strong, but the three jackals following behind her were in much worse condition.

A large piece of skin was torn off one of the shoulder blades, and blood would seep out from time to time. The red dog licked it himself, but it couldn’t stop the bleeding. He didn’t dare to put his left front paw on the ground and could only move on three legs.

The other two jackals were not much stronger. As the main attackers, they caused considerable injuries to Yue Feng’s three dogs, but the head-on positional warfare did not give them much chance to dodge and maneuver.

They didn’t gain any advantage either. There were lacerations on their heads, faces, and shoulders, many of which were relatively serious. Their fur was turned inside out, making them look like gaping bloody mouths.

The big black eagle spotted its target in the air and immediately started screaming at its owner.

The Black Hawk has become extremely skilled at searching for prey and then reporting the news to its owner.

After noticing that his master was looking up at the sky, the big black eagle folded its wings and swooped down towards the jackal at the outermost edge below.

In fact, when the big black eagle was screaming in the sky, the four jackals below had already heard this death-like cry.

However, no matter how fast a dog’s legs are, they can never outrun an eagle’s wings.

Before it could run far, there was a broken howl, and the three-legged red dog was kicked and fell to the ground. It struggled for a long time before getting up again.

The big black eagle has its own judgment when choosing its targets. It will definitely pick the weak ones first, whether it is a deer or a pig. It has this habit. It is the same when bullying jackals.

When one of the dogs was knocked down, the other three immediately fled in all directions. However, the jackal queen found that no other pursuers were following her. After running a few steps, she barked a few times, and the red dogs turned back.

The jackal pack could not afford any more losses, and they could not ignore this strong-grown companion.

On the other side, when Da Huang heard the news from the eagle boss, he ran much faster.

While running, he turned his head to look at Yue Feng. The meaning was very simple: the master let go of the rope.

Yue Feng thought that there were only a few jackals left, all of them injured deserters. With the help of the big black eagle and the air deterrence, Da Huang was not afraid of those jackals in the short term.

As long as the dog can delay a little bit of time, the battle can be ended immediately when the humans arrive.

The next second, Yue Feng flicked his wrist and untied the hemp rope around Dahuang’s neck. The dog’s speed immediately increased to a level and it quickly caught up.

On the other side, after a dive attack injured the three-legged jackal, the other three jackals surrounded their companion.

The female jackal leader called out a few times, and several jackals stood back to back in each direction, guarding against the next dive attack by the big black eagle.

The big black eagle is very cunning. When it sees the opponent standing in place and guarding, it will not be stupid enough to continue attacking.

Anyway, the master and his little dog are behind him. As long as he can trap the prey, it will be fine. The gun in the master’s hand is much more powerful than his own dive attack.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a time.
