Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 379 The Power of the Mountain God
Chapter 379 The Power of the Mountain God
Wang Wang Wang!
The dog that had just run free noticed the presence of the tiger and started barking timidly with its tail between its legs. However, the tiger, which was running wildly, did not feel that these dogs were a threat to it at all.
“White Dragon! Go!!”
At the critical moment, Zhu Erhai called out and the leader of the dog gang rushed forward barking.
Bailong is a cross between a Mongolian and a Northeastern native dog, with a medium physique. He was very well trained by his previous owner. Upon hearing his master’s order, he immediately took the lead in joining the battle.
In the hunting dog’s cognition, the master’s order is the highest will. It is also afraid of such a large tiger, but the master and other dogs in the gang are all there. As the leader dog, it also has its own pride.
Upon receiving the order, Bailong rushed forward barking, and Zhu Erhai, holding a gun, also entered combat status.
The dog with the barreled gun only has one chance to shoot. The other dogs dare not shoot head-on, so the leader dog has to do the most dangerous job.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the white dog, the tiger’s running speed was obviously affected a little. It slowed down slightly and slapped the white dog with its left front paw without hesitation.
puff!
With a dull thud, the adult hound, which was at least 70 years tall at the shoulder, was knocked to the ground by the tiger’s slap. Without even a scream, it began to pee and shit and kicked its legs.
Zhu Erhai was waiting for this opportunity. He aimed at the tiger’s upper body and pulled the trigger.
boom!
There was another gunshot.
A streak of blood ran across the soft skin on the tiger’s back as the bullet passed closely past it.
Ugh! !
It hit, but not the vital part. It just grazed the skin and didn’t even break any bones.
The tiger roared to the sky in pain, and the three dogs that were a few meters away and didn’t dare to come forward were immediately frightened to pee.
The next second, the injured and enraged tiger rushed towards Zhu Erhai without hesitation.
It knows that the weapon is powerful, but it also knows that it can only fire one bullet at a time. Now is the best chance to kill the hunter.
When Zhu Erhai saw the tiger rushing towards him, he was so frightened that his mind went blank and he subconsciously held the gun in his hand across his chest.
I just felt a fishy wind approaching, my eyes blurred, and a huge force penetrated through the shotgun in front of my chest and acted on my whole body.
After being attacked by the tiger, Zhu Erhai flew more than three meters away like a light human-shaped rag doll and fell heavily on a small oak tree as thick as a bowl.
Seeing their master being attacked by the tiger, the three dogs, who had been terrified a second ago, went completely crazy.
A trained hunting dog will sacrifice its life for its owner at critical moments. Although Zhu Erhai is not very kind to the dogs in his family, the dogs have experienced many battles of varying sizes with their original owners, and they have not lost the courage to sacrifice their lives at such times.
The remaining three dogs changed their barking voices and surrounded the mountain king in front of them, howling.
The addition of the three dogs attracted the attention of the male tiger.
The reaction speed of cats is much faster than that of dogs. The male tiger took a few steps back and raised his front paws, just like playing whack-a-mole, attacking left and right. Three dogs, two on the left and two on the right, were slapped once and killed instantly.
The last dog, which was a beat slower, had not yet reacted when the tiger bit its neck. With a crisp click, the cervical vertebrae were bitten off and blood flowed out of the wound.
The skin wound on its back made the tiger go crazy, and the three hounds made the tiger taste the smell of blood.
The huge tiger carried an adult hound weighing 70 or 80 kilograms in its mouth, just like a cat carrying a mouse at home, without any effort at all.
At this moment, a string of bombs emitting white smoke was thrown down from a tree branch more than two meters high.
Bang bang bang!
The white firecrackers, thicker than a thumb, exploded close to the ground.
The muffled explosion shook the earth and even the snow on the ground was blown into circles of mud.
Tiger himself had suffered losses from firearms and was extremely sensitive to the sound of explosions.
When the first explosion of the firecrackers sounded, he jumped back two or three meters on the spot as if by reflex.
The pungent smell of the explosion also frightened the big tiger. It let go of the hunting dog that had been bitten to death and rushed towards the north ridge.
According to common knowledge, tigers do not like to go into dense forests as long as there is a flat road to run on, but the exploding bomb at its feet completely frightened the big tiger.
The trees in the forest are very dense, and a running tiger can sensitively adjust its direction of movement. Its whiskers can sense the location of obstacles, and its tail can adjust its movement posture.
The vertical height from halfway up the slope to the ridge is at least tens of meters, but in front of the big tiger, it just rushed up with several big leaps.
In just a blink of an eye, all four hunting dogs in Zhu Erhai’s hands were scrapped, and the person involved was slapped and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
Five full minutes passed before Wang Xiaomin, who had climbed up the tree branch, felt himself coming back to his senses. He was breathing heavily, and his hands and feet were out of control.
“Second child! Second child! What happened to you, second child!”
Wang Xiaonian held the tree branch tightly with his arms, unable to let go, for fear that the big tiger would come back again, so he lowered his voice even when calling for help.
More than ten minutes later, the nearest hunters heard the noise and gathered around, then helped Wang Xiaonian down from the tree.
The scene was very tragic. The leader, Bai Long, was hit hard in the face, his neck and spine were broken, his internal organs were squeezed out from his back, and his death was tragic. The other three hounds were not much better, all of them had fatal injuries and died on the spot.
“Don’t worry about me, look at the second child. The second child was pounced on by a tiger. He is in the snow cave over there!!” Wang Xiaonian reminded.
Upon hearing that there was another person, several hunters immediately rushed to look for Zhu Erhai.
Soon, Zhu Erhai was found and helped up. Having suffered a heavy blow, Zhu Erhai was now in a coma and his life or death was unknown.
An experienced hunter felt the second child’s breath and found that he was still breathing, so he immediately arranged for people to rescue him.
“Try pinching its philtrum! It must have been knocked unconscious! Make it lie flat, chop down the tree quickly, wrap the leg guard around the stretcher and send it to the hospital!!”
Two small trees were chopped down and then wrapped with bandages to form a simple unit. Zhu Erhai was laid flat on it and his philtrum was pinched for a few seconds.
call! ! !
After a long breath, Zhu Erhai opened his eyes.
In front of him were four people with concerned faces. Zhu Erhai realized that he was not dead.
“Awake! How do you feel about the second child?” Wang Xiaonian asked worriedly.
“Cough cough cough!! Where is the tiger? Is the tiger dead?” Zhu Erhai coughed a few times and struggled to look around.
“Whose kid is this? He’s so careless! You’ve saved your life, but you still care about the tiger! How do you feel? Do you have any fractures or injuries? Is there anything wrong with your body?”
The middle-aged hunter next to him couldn’t help but complain and continued to ask.
Wang Xiaonian touched Zhu Erhai’s body from head to toe, and except for some pain in his chest, there was nothing wrong with other parts of his body.
Soon, his crossbow rifle was found. When they saw the barrel of the gun, everyone gasped.
The wooden buttstock had two large cracks, and the gun case and barrel were visibly bent and deformed.
You don’t need to look to know that this gun is definitely useless.
Facing the tiger’s full-strength attack, Zhu Erhai subconsciously used the gun to block his chest, absorbing most of the damage.
“Do you dare to get up and take a few steps? Which village are you from, kid? You are so lucky! This hunting rifle saved your life!!” asked the middle-aged hunter.
“It should be possible! Xiaonian, where is our dog!!” Zhu Erhai struggled to sit up from the stretcher and looked around.
“Don’t even think about it. Four dogs were killed by the tiger in order to save you! If I hadn’t been smart enough to bring a string of firecrackers to scare the tiger away, we two brothers would have died in the mountain today!” Wang Xiaonian said with lingering fear.
There is great terror between life and death. Having witnessed the entire battle process with his own eyes, he has a more intuitive understanding of the terrifying fighting power of the mountain god.
For a top predator like an adult male tiger, killing a person is no more difficult than killing a dog.
At this moment, Wang Xiaonian only wanted to go home. The information fee, the reward for killing the tiger, and the dividends from killing the tiger were nothing compared to his life.
……
The tiger killed four dogs, injured people, and escaped over the ridge. Today’s tiger-hunting operation was a complete failure.
The injured Zhu Erhai was sent back for examination. Apart from a minor fracture in the chest bone, he did not have any fatal injuries. However, all the family fortune he had worked hard to save was completely wasted in this trip.
All the hounds were wiped out, and the barreled shotgun was completely destroyed and turned into scrap metal.
More importantly, Zhu Erhai was so frightened by the terrifying pressure from the tiger that he went home and lay on the kang to recuperate. He would tremble in his quilt at the slightest noise.
The young hunter who was clamoring to make a name for himself not long ago, has become completely cowardly after this life-and-death experience!
……
At around four o’clock in the afternoon, Yue Feng was at home, serving the two old men, drinking tea and chatting on the kang, when Xiaowen came to Yue Feng’s house in a hurry.
“Brother! There’s news about the tiger hunting in Kaoshantun!!”
“What’s the matter? Good news or bad news? Was the tiger killed?” Yue Feng asked, looking up.
“The tiger was not killed, but Zhu Erhai and Wang Xiaonian from our village came face to face with the tiger!
Zhu Erhai was slapped, but he saved his life by blocking the gun in front of his chest. The four dogs were all killed by the tiger!”
“Did the man named Zhu Erhai you mentioned shoot? Was the tiger injured?” At this time, Uncle Chen next to him asked.
Xiaowen continued, “It seems like he fired a shot, but he missed or didn’t hit the vital part! With a No. 16 barreled pistol, there’s only one chance to fire!”
“What about the others? Did they go down the mountain? Or did they continue to chase?” Yue Feng continued to ask.
