Every skilled hunter has the ability to think from other people’s perspective.

The blind bear ran away from the area over there by the No. 5 tree den. It must have been a random escape at first.

However, after escaping from the attack scene, the subsequent escape direction was definitely not a random run, and there must be considerations behind it.

Zhou Yuanchao went over the surrounding terrain in his mind and quickly identified one of the possible destinations of the injured bear’s escape.

Zhou Yuanchao knew more about the nature of these mountain animals than most people. For an injured bear, the trauma infection will quickly trigger an inflammatory response. In this case, the body temperature will rise and the body will become dehydrated due to the loss of body fluids.

At this time, the injured bear is more likely to stay in a nearby water source.

The cool mountain spring water can relieve the pain in your body and replenish lost body fluids.

“Follow me, let’s go to Erguniang Spring!!” Zhou Yuanchao confidently chose a new direction of pursuit and continued to move forward.

After chasing for about three or four hundred meters, we found new bloodstains on the ground.

The judgment was correct!!
“Hey, sure, Yuan Chao, you’re amazing! There are no footprints or bloodstains around, how did you know it would come here!!!

Look at the blood on the ground, such a large pool of blood, can’t it cover the injury?” Liu Laosan pointed to the obvious pool of bear blood on the ground that had turned black and asked.

Zhou Yuanchao looked down, then looked up to observe the terrain around him, looked up at Liu Laosan and nodded.

“You make sense! The bear’s injuries can’t be controlled! The fact that the bleeding can’t be stopped is the biggest proof!” Zhou Yuanchao said expressionlessly.

“Hehe, then what are we afraid of? Let’s speed up. Maybe when we find the bear, it will only be alive. We don’t even need to fire a single shot to get the benefits!!”

It’s not even dark yet, Mr. Liu is already daydreaming.

“Okay! Let’s go down. The grass over there at Erguniang Spring will be thicker, so watch your step!” Zhou Yuanchao gave a special reminder.

“Don’t worry, even though my hunting skills aren’t as good as yours, I’m pretty steady when walking on mountain roads!”

When Liu Laosan heard that Xiong was most likely seriously injured, he relaxed a lot of his cautious attitude.

Seeing his companions’ reactions, Zhou Yuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

Zhou Yuanchao just lied to Liu Laosan.

This section of road, which was bloodless, suddenly had a pool of blood at the back, but it was not because the bear could not control its injuries.

The reason is quite simple. Last night, the blind bear was standing, pulling the rope from the stinky meat bones tied to it, and was hit from the front by Liu Laosan with a 56 rifle.

The bullet had a small entrance and a large exit, so the injury to the shoulder was naturally most serious on the bear’s back.

At the location of the ridge in front, the terrain is significantly slower than the sunny slope and is close to flat ground.

This resulted in a portion of the blood that would normally drip from the shoulder not immediately flowing down the wound along the hair after the bear’s movement posture changed, but instead being absorbed by the hair around the wound and accumulated around the wound.

This part of blood can no longer be absorbed by the hair, leaving a pool of blood several hundred meters later.

Does this detail prove that the bear could no longer suppress its injuries and was on the verge of death?

Obviously not.

Judging from the decreasing amount of bleeding, the bear’s wound is gradually stopping the bleeding, which means that its injury is not getting worse, but instead there are signs that the bleeding is stopping and the injury is stabilizing.

The two men went up the mountain, and before they even saw their target, Zhou Yuanchao had already started secretly setting a trap to mislead Liu Laosan.

At this moment, Liu Laosan was still immersed in the dream of getting rich and had no idea of ​​his situation at all.

The two chased each other for a while and heard the sound of gurgling mountain stream in the distance.

The entire Changbai Mountain area is almost entirely covered with abundant groundwater resources, and there is a high probability that there is a mountain spring every few mountain ridges.

It is early autumn now, which is still the flood season for mountain streams. The vegetation on both sides of the valley where the streams pass is obviously much more lush.

Zhou Yuanchao walked down the sunny slope slowly, holding on to the trunk of a small tree. Standing halfway up the sunny slope, he looked down at the mountain stream area under the ditch.

At first glance, the vines and bushes seemed normal, as if there was no place for the blind bear to hide and heal.

However, the nearest bloodstains point to the ridge below, so the bear must have been here last night.

After taking a quick look around, Zhou Yuanchao continued walking down and soon arrived at the stream.

On the soft soil soaked by stream water, a clear footprint of an adult male bear was clearly visible.

When Zhou Yuanchao saw this footprint, his heart trembled slightly.

Judging from the size of the footprints, the male bear must have weighed at least three or four hundred kilograms. No wonder he was able to survive after being shot twice and bleeding all the way.

“Look, there is a footprint here!!” Zhou Yuanchao shouted at Liu Laosan.

Soon Liu Laosan followed behind and pretended to look at the bear’s footprints for a few times before asking, “Did the bear cross the stream to the other side?”

“It’s possible! Let’s go to the other side and take a look! The bear must have come here to replenish water first. After drinking enough water, it will most likely find a familiar grass nest or something to stay and recuperate!

If a person loses too much blood, he will feel dizzy, and the bear will certainly feel it too! The first priority at this time is to consume the body’s fat reserves to produce blood and heal the wound, rather than looking for new things to eat!” Zhou Yuanchao said seriously. “That makes sense! There’s nothing on the opposite side that blocks the view! Let’s go over and take a look! There’s flat land under the ditch and pond, let’s look for clues separately!” Liu Laosan said loudly.

When Zhou Yuanchao heard that they had to split up to look for clues, his nose flared slightly.

You brought this up on your own initiative, so don’t blame me!!!
Earlier, Zhou Yuanchao kept sending wrong information to Liu Laosan in order to make the other party careless and lose the cautious state he had when he first went up the mountain.

What can you rely on if you go into the mountains to chase a bear without a hunting dog?

Liu Laosan relied on the experienced Zhou Yuanchao.

What about Zhou Yuanchao himself? He relied on his own experience and Liu Laosan, who was becoming more and more relaxed.

Experienced hunters know that the more injured a blind bear is, the more aggressive it will be.

If Liu Laosan had remained highly vigilant along the way, it might not have been so easy for Zhou Yuanchao to ambush him.

But now, this guy actually took the initiative to propose to look for clues separately, which gave Zhou Yuanchao an opportunity.

The two of them were about twenty meters apart, strolling around the bushes and meadows on the banks of the mountain stream.

Zhou Yuanchao discovered another tiny bloodstain, but this guy remained calm and did not alert his companions, and avoided the area pointed by the bloodstain.

In the direction pointed by the bloodstains, there was a large patch of bushes more than half a person’s height, mixed with a lot of soft date vines.

After a while, Liu Laosan walked around for dozens of meters with the barreled gun, and unknowingly came to the direction that Zhou Yuanchao deliberately avoided.

Just as he was humming a little tune and knocking around with a piece of wood in his left hand to check, he suddenly heard an angry bear roar from behind the bushes that blocked his view.

The next second, a sturdy adult black bear rushed towards Liu Laosan on all fours.

Teacher Liu’s psychological quality and hunting experience were very poor. The moment he heard the bear’s roar, his mind went blank.

He threw the wooden stick in his hand out reflexively to block the black bear, but was slapped into two pieces by the angry black bear.

“Yuan Chao, save me!!!” Liu Laosan screamed, raised the gun in his hand in panic, and pulled the trigger without even aiming.

boom!
A gunshot was heard, and the bullet flew past the blind black bear, but failed to hit the target at such a close distance.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Yuanchao immediately put his gun to his face and locked onto the blind bear’s position.

But the irony is that he could easily save his companion by just pulling the trigger, but Zhou Yuanchao stood there motionless, allowing the blind bear to knock Liu Laosan to the ground.

The close-range gunshots not only failed to scare the blind bear away, but instead aroused its ferocity after being injured.

The angry male bear stepped on Liu Laosan with its front paws and bit his chest and face with its huge mouth dripping with saliva.

This season is not winter, so wearing thick cotton clothes can still provide some cushioning and protection.

The sharp bear claws only exerted a slight force and tore Liu Laosan’s coat into pieces.

The sound of canine teeth piercing and cutting muscles and bones was very terrifying. Liu Laosan’s cries for help became weaker and weaker, and in the blink of an eye, there was no sound.

Zhou Yuanchao watched everything happening very calmly with his gun in hand. After seeing the blind bear take out a string of red and white things, he blew the whistle slowly.

shhhhh!

Hearing the whistle, the male bear who was busy biting the enemy looked up reflexively and found Zhou Yuanchao.

boom!
With just one shot, the bullet ripped open the blind bear’s skull. His muzzle was still covered in blood and some muscle tissue, and he fell down with his head tilted back.

After waiting for about five seconds, the blind bear that was shot in the head remained motionless.

Zhou Yuanchao approached very cautiously step by step with a gun in hand. When he was within three meters, he fired another shot at the bear’s head and then took big steps forward.

The scene was bloody and cruel.

Liu Laosan, who had been supporting North Korea and regarded Zhou Yuanchao as his brother not long ago, now had his shirt torn into strips by the bear’s claws, and his chest, neck, and abdomen were left with large marks from the bear’s sharp teeth.

Looking at the male bear next to it, he had an external wound on his shoulder and another on the side of his abdomen. The edges of the two gunshot wounds had shown signs of closing and were not as serious as expected.

The fatal wound was on the head. The two shots almost completely shattered the huge bear head. It was dead beyond dead.

Zhou Yuanchao took out the knife he carried with him from his waist without hesitation, and quickly cut open the belly of the huge male bear and took out the entire set of lantern hangings.

Skillfully find the location of the bear gall next to the liver.

A large copper gallbladder, slightly larger than a fist, glows metallically under the sunlight.

He took out the bear gall, took out a white cloth bag from his bag and kept the gall close to his body.

Zhou Yuanchao walked up to Liu Laosan, bent down and picked up his barreled gun.

“Old Third, don’t blame me! If you want to blame someone, go blame Qiao Muzhou who poisoned my dog ​​gang!!” (End of this chapter)
