Chapter 369: Tiger Appears

It is 1.2 meters tall at the shoulder and over 3.5 meters long. Its body is golden yellow with thick black markings. On its huge forehead, there is a clear Chinese character “王”.

What a gorgeous tiger!
Rumble

This sturdy big claw also noticed Guo Jianfeng and the others on the opposite side. It lowered its front shoulders slightly and emitted a low-frequency roar from its throat, like the engine of a top-level sports car.

When Guo Jianfeng looked into the eyes of the big claws, he felt an electric current running from the soles of his feet to his head. His whole body seemed to be immobilized and he could not move at all.

Logically speaking, with five people and two Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, they would have an absolute chance of winning even against a tiger.

But theory is theory, reality is reality. A big cat, which is much bigger than a cow, is staring at you with its huge eyes less than a hundred meters away.

At that moment, let alone guns, even if there were cannons, without sufficient psychological preparation, one would be scared to death.

Guo Jianfeng didn’t dare to move, and the other people also stood there like wooden men.

After exchanging glances with the humans, the huge male tiger turned around and returned to the valley. Soon, after a few leaps and bounds, it disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Whirring whirring…”

After watching the tiger walk away, Guo Jianfeng and several of his companions were all gasping for breath.

No one cared about the ice and snow on the ground and they all sat down on the snow crust.

“Captain, let’s…let’s go back!!”

“There’s actually a tiger in this Cross Ditch. I was so scared just now!”

“Yes, Brother Guo, let’s go back! If the big tiger had pounced on us just now, it would have been right in front of us in the blink of an eye!

This is too much for my heart. I am the only son in my family. I was in great pain just now!”

This is true. When an adult tiger runs at full speed, it can cover a distance of seven or eight meters in one leap. It only takes the blink of an eye to get from its previous position to the front.

Ordinary people cannot withstand a slap from a tiger. It is said that a full-strength blow from an adult Siberian tiger can have a force of nearly one ton.

Guo Jianfeng suppressed the fear in his heart and took a long, deep breath: “Brothers, leave the wild boar where it is, and let’s go and join the main force!!”

The captain gave in, and several team members gradually relaxed.

They no longer cared about the four wild boars on the ground and followed Guo Jianfeng back.

After walking less than a mile in a straight line, I heard a sudden tiger roar in the valley behind me.

oooo~~~
The tiger roar, which was more explosive than a bear’s roar, made everyone feel their scalps tingling.

On the other side, Yue Feng and others, who were dragging their prey slowly towards the gathering point, also heard the terrifying tiger roar.

“Shit! Is that a tiger’s roar?”

When Xiao Tao heard the noise, his eyes lit up and he immediately looked in the direction where the noise came from.

Yue Feng’s face darkened: “Damn it, when did the mountain god come to Shizigou?! Xiaowu, take off the safety of your gun!”

Xiao Tao was eager to try and said, “There are so many of us here, with dogs and guns, what are we afraid of? If you dare to show off, just gather everyone and kill him!!”

When it comes to courage, Xiao Tao is really brave.

Others would be terrified when hearing a tiger roar, but this guy was different. His first reaction was excitement, and his second reaction was an eagerness to try and deal with the tiger!
Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Tao and said, “What nonsense are you talking about! Mountain God, you also have ideas, you are crazy!!”

“That’s no big deal! This thing is in the deep mountains and forests, so it can do what it wants and be brought back secretly without anyone noticing! No matter how powerful it is, it can’t beat a 56 and a half!” Xiao Tao curled his lips and didn’t take it seriously.

“That’s what I said, but this thing is not as simple as you think! Stop talking about those nonsense, shit doesn’t stink people, farts stink people, just shut up!

We can’t continue the fight today. The tiger roar just now was probably a warning to us. Let’s gather together first!”

With mixed emotions, the four members of the Yuefeng hunting team slowly arrived at the ambush point with their prey, and soon met up with Guo Jianfeng and others who had arrived earlier.

The ground was littered with the wild boar’s internal organs after being drained of blood and gutted, and the smell of blood was extremely strong.

Yue Feng: “Brother Guo!”

Guo Jianfeng: “Xiaofeng!”

“Did you hear that tiger roar just now?” The two of them asked the same question almost at the same time.

“You speak first!” Yue Feng waved his hand.

Guo Jianfeng said with lingering fear: “Just now we were driving forward from north to south, and suddenly a large group of wild boars rushed out from the ditch on the sunny side.

I used a half-hook of grenade to drive away most of the wild boars. The remaining six or seven pigs rushed towards us. Xiao Zhang and I used our two guns and killed four pigs!
I was lowering my head to process the boar’s internal organs and going into the water. Xiao Li pulled me and said, “About 70 or 80 meters away, a boar with a claw bigger than an old ox was staring at us!”

“Did you just run into the tiger head-on?”

Yue Feng’s heart skipped a beat after hearing this. This was a bit scary.

A distance of dozens of meters is just a blink of an eye for a tiger. It is no exaggeration to say that people with average mental quality may not be able to unleash the power of guns even if they have guns in their hands.

If they were unlucky and the tiger was provoked to kill, it would be hard to say what would happen to the people on Guo Jianfeng’s side.

“Yeah! We bumped into an enemy first, and then it growled a few times in a threatening manner. We didn’t dare to move, and it turned around and walked away!

The huge tiger roar was not heard until several minutes later!

This is so scary, the oppressive feeling, and the gun in my hand doesn’t seem to be safe at all!”

Yue Feng nodded and forced himself to calm down. Tigers are now protected animals and cannot be killed casually.

Besides, hunters like Yue Feng who make a living in the mountains still have some respect for the mountain god and no hatred or grudges against him. As long as it is not a life-and-death situation, he will not kill Big Claw.

“Is there a possibility that the large group of wild boars were chased away by tigers during hunting?” Xiaowen asked with a slightly frown.

“It’s hard to say, but the possibility is not small! How many wild boars have been killed here? We can’t stay in Shizigou anymore!” Yue Feng turned his head and asked.

Guo Jianfeng: “We have killed eight tigers here, and there are still four on the side where the tigers meet.

We didn’t dare to stay where we were, so we left the wild boar where it was!”

“Send a few more people with guns to drag the wild boar back. We won’t continue searching Dongxigou today. The tiger probably hasn’t gone far, so we don’t want to provoke it!” Yue Feng said.

“Okay, you guys, come back with me, load up your guns, turn on the safety, and stay alert! Let’s bring the meat back!!”

Guo Jianfeng called the team members and brought all the gun-carrying people with them, and then went back to drag the wild boar.

Four wild boars were dragged back intact, a total of 12 wild boars, plus five sika deer of various sizes. Today’s harvest was actually quite a lot, but no one was happy.

Especially Yue Feng, even after all the prey were loaded onto the big truck, his brows were still tightly furrowed.

There have been no traces of tigers in the vast forests surrounding the Hongxing Forest Farm for decades.

Now that Big Claw has arrived, it is not good news for the hunters going up the mountain.

Tigers are very suspicious and vigilant. They are good at camouflage, hiding and sneak attacks. If you go hunting in the mountains and are targeted by a tiger, it will be very dangerous even if you have a gun.

It would be better if the four brothers of Yuefeng Hunting Team acted together. At least one of them had a dog and a big black eagle, so they could look after each other.

If a lone hunter like Uncle Zhao were unlucky enough to be eaten by a tiger, no one would know about it.

No, this place is only a few dozen miles away from Woniu Mountain. For top predators like tigers, this distance is not safe.

When I get back, I must go to Uncle Zhao to tell him the news and ask him to be careful.

Just like that, the originally planned mission of hunting down and fencing off the mountains was halted halfway because of the appearance of a tiger.

In the short term, I definitely can’t come to Shizigou. If I want to get the remaining New Year gifts, I have to go to a mountain area farther away from here.

Two large trucks returned along the original route and took the forest rangers back to the forest farm.

Today’s harvest was not small. Yue Feng left a female wild boar weighing over 200 pounds as a dividend for everyone, and then asked Master Sun to bring the rest of the prey back home.

The top-quality wild boar that was hunted in the mountains last time naturally cannot be counted as part of the trophy.

Today we have five deer, a big male deer weighing 270-80 kilograms, a female deer weighing 160-170 kilograms, and a half-grown calf weighing 70-80 kilograms.

Yue Feng is not planning to slaughter the remaining two living doe deer for the time being. Instead, he is keeping them in the deer pen in preparation for next spring.

Roughly speaking, less than 400 kilograms of venison can be produced.

Among the 11 wild boars brought back this time, there were four boars. The largest one weighed over kilograms, and the other three weighed about kilograms.

The remaining seven wild boars are sows of varying sizes, and the total meat output is about 1500 kilograms.

At present, the meat harvest at home is still slightly short of the requirements of the forest farm, but most of it has been completed.

Don’t forget, the last time I took a few big guys to the mountains to hunt, the big heads of wild boars and brown bears all belonged to Yue Feng.

Deer meat and bear meat are meats of the same level and can both be used to complete tasks at the forest farm.

If we don’t consider the issue of meat reserves at home, Yue Feng will count all the meat at home, and now he can actually finish the task plan.

But the New Year is coming soon, so we definitely can’t do that.

When they returned home, Yue Feng unloaded another deer leg for Master Sun and took it back. Before leaving, he said hello to Master Sun.

“Brother Sun, please wait for my letter later. We are thinking of going up the mountain again these days, and we may need your help to bring people and prey!” Yue Feng muttered.

Master Sun was grateful for the favor, and Yue Feng had given him many benefits during their several dealings.

After hearing what Yue Feng said, Master Sun said, “If you need a car, just call Lao Guo in advance. As long as the factory doesn’t have plans to send a car, I’m always available!”

“Hey, okay!! Let’s do this for now, you go back first and we’ll contact each other later! I estimate that it should only take two or three days!”

“That’s it!”

……

Yue Feng’s plan was very simple. He would ask around for information on suitable herds of wild boars or deer, and then he would not bring the forest rangers with him.

There is indeed strength in numbers, but after two trips up the mountain, the forest farm has completed most of its plan. If we continue to bring people up the mountain, Zhou Jianchun will definitely have some ideas.

It would be better to just communicate with Master Sun in private. If there is any intelligence gained later, the forest farm will not get any information, and there will be less trouble.

The plan was good, but plans can never keep up with the speed of change. On the night I returned home, the weather forecast on the radio warned of heavy snow.

In the second half of the night, heavy snow began to fall.

When I woke up, the thick snow had blocked half of the door.

In the short term, we can’t go up the mountain again!
