Chapter 387 New Discovery

As a specially trained working dog, the blue wolf’s ability to identify smells is one of its main characteristics.

After smelling the tiger’s scent, he took a few hunters with him and wandered around the surrounding hills.

When a tiger is being tracked, it will definitely run in a straight line over short distances. However, at night, when it is no longer under the pressure of being chased, it will also wander around the place where it has settled.

Experienced old hunters call this behavior patrolling. In addition to becoming familiar with the surrounding terrain, it is also a disguised way of searching for information about the prey’s scent and other activities. When there is an opportunity to hunt, they will hunt and eat without mercy.

The wild boar offal that Yue Feng arranged yesterday was discovered by this male tiger through the smell of blood when he was patrolling at night.

After circling around for a while and making sure there was no danger, the male tiger quickly dragged the food down from the tree branch and carried it to a secluded place to eat.

Qinglang took Qiao Saner and others for a walk on the mountain field, and soon came to the place where Yue Feng had placed the sheep dung eggs.

The smell was stronger because of the tiger’s lingering to eat and the traces of it dragging a small amount of wild boar into the water. The blue wolf walked around the forked hardwood branch where the pig’s offal was hanging.

Erqiang led the dog and soon found the tiger’s footprints, as well as sporadic traces left on the snow after the pig fell into the water.

“Third Master, the tiger must have eaten here last night! Look at this branch, it’s greasy, it must have hung some sacrificial offerings like offal here!!”

When Master Qiao San heard his younger brother’s reminder, he leaned over to take a look and said, “There really are traces!
But it’s normal. The hunters in the mountains here like to hang the offal of wild boars, roe deer and other animals on trees as sacrifices to the mountain gods. The tigers must be eating the things that were hung up before!
It’s cold in winter, but this thing won’t break down!”

Er Qiang observed for a long time and said, “They should have pulled it down from the water and carried it away! In that direction!!”

While speaking, Erqiang pointed in the direction the tiger left.

At this time, no one noticed that the blue wolf, squatting on the spot, lowered its head and kept sniffing the “sheep dung” on the ground.

At this time, it can be seen that the ancestral ‘poison bait’ given by Master Zhao has miraculous effects.

This blue wolf is a genuine military dog. Although he has not served, he has received relatively professional training. On weekdays, he will not eat unless fed by his owner, and this is especially true in the mountains.

But even though Yue Feng had soaked those inconspicuous sheep dung balls in clean water all night last night, they were still very tempting to Qinglang.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the blue wolf couldn’t help but lowered his head, picked up the sheep dung ball and swallowed it into his mouth.

The dog seemed to know that it would be scolded if its owner saw it picking up food outside, so it ate the sheep dung balls with very little movement. Several people were focusing on the tiger’s footprints that were getting farther and farther away, and no one paid attention to the dog’s situation.

Before Yue Feng left, he scattered three sheep dung eggs, which were all picked up and eaten by the blue wolf.

Next, there was at least another hour of mountain trail tracking.

The people behind followed the footprints and the smell of the tiger and found the second place where the tiger ate. From the scattered blood foam on the ground, they determined that this was the place where the tiger ate and then took a nap last night.

It is worth mentioning that the Siberian tiger’s reputation as a pure yang body is not just a fabrication by ordinary people.

The snow crust where the tiger was lying melted, revealing even the dead leaves and some weeds underneath the snow.

You know, this is an uncovered mountain forest with a temperature of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. It is no exaggeration to say that water turns into ice. However, an adult male tiger has this kind of firepower, and its pure yang body has been verified.

After finding the place where the tiger was resting, Qiao Saner’s hunting team was very happy. They were not afraid of hard work or fatigue. As long as they had the right method, it was only a matter of time to catch the tiger.

The performance of the blue wolf has been very good in recent days. Unless there are any unexpected situations, the blue wolf will definitely follow the tiger’s trail steadily.

As long as the male tiger dares to relax its vigilance and stay in a certain area for a few days, the hunting team will have the opportunity to shoot.

However, the idea is good, but plans are always not as fast as changes.

It was just around noon and the members of Qiao San’s hunting team, who had been strolling in the mountains for the whole morning, made a fire and prepared to have lunch when something went wrong with the blue wolf they were tracking.

The blue wolf, which was originally acting normally, began to behave abnormally and kept chewing the snow on the ground with its head down.

In less than half an hour, Qinglang began to have diarrhea. Unformed feces spurted out of his anus, emitting an unpleasant smell.

The diarrhea could not be stopped. Erqiang hurriedly used the fire to heat up some snow water for the dog to drink, but after the dog drank it, he still had another diarrhea every once in a while.

As the old saying goes, a brave man can’t stand three shits. This is true for humans, let alone dogs.

The blue wolf, who was full of energy in the morning, now had his ears drooped and his eyes revealed a listless state.

“Third Master, it’s no use. Something must have happened to the dog! We can’t continue chasing it today. We have to take Qinglang back to see a veterinarian!” Erqiang said with some heartache as he looked at his dog.

“Could there be something wrong with yesterday’s dog food?” Qiao San’er was also very nervous about the blue wolf. After all, ordinary dogs would not dare to chase after a tiger. This blue wolf was the most relied upon trump card of Qiao San’er’s hunting team in tracking and hunting tigers.

“I’m not sure. I prepared the dog food myself, so it should be fine!”

“Then why are you vomiting and having diarrhea? You didn’t eat anything on the way, did you?”

“No! My dog ​​won’t eat anything except what I feed him, even if it’s right in front of him!

It seemed to be in a lot of pain, constantly chewing on the snow and drinking water! I wonder if it’s been poisoned or has acute gastroenteritis or something!”

Seeing that the dog’s condition showed no sign of improving, Erqiang also became nervous.

The hunting dog is the lifeblood of the hunter. Normally, the standard of dog food for this blue wolf is not much worse than that of its master Erqiang. Erqiang is really distressed by its current condition.

Qiao San really wanted to continue to let Qinglang lead the way in tracking, but when he saw Gouzi’s listless appearance with vomiting and diarrhea, he knew that even if he told him, Gouzi would not be able to do it, and he would hurt his brothers in the hunting team for no reason.

“Looking like this, it will be hard to continue tracking in the afternoon!

Otherwise, you take the dog down the mountain first, and we will follow the footprints left by the tiger and chase it!
If we are lucky, the dog will recover tomorrow and we can continue chasing it. If we go down the mountain now and the tiger gets far away, our pursuit will be completely cut off!”

“Okay! Then I’ll carry the dog down the mountain first! Be careful!”

Erqiang nodded, and didn’t care about his unfinished lunch. He gave the dog some water, put the dog on his shoulder, and walked down the mountain with the dog on his back.

Without the help of Sao Gou, the members of Qiao Saner’s hunting team had no intention of eating lunch or taking a rest. They followed the footprints for more than an hour and finally lost all trace of the tiger at a wind vent on a ridge.

……

On the other side, the brothers of Yue Feng’s team, after confirming that the pigs’ offal had broken out of the water, rushed to Qingshi Cliff in almost a straight line.

The three wild boars they carried with them were placed in the locations that the two uncles had specifically instructed. After finishing all this, the brothers left the bluestone cliff and continued to move towards the depths of the forest.

All members of the hunting team were dispatched. After finishing the necessary work, they naturally could not sit idle for the rest of the time.

Yesterday, Xiaowen and Xiaotao, the brothers, shot prey for the first time after getting guns. Today, the brothers’ enthusiasm for hunting with guns has not diminished at all.

Yue Feng led them to deliberately bypass the mountain area near Qingshi Cliff and go to the logging area outside several mountain ridges to continue wandering around the mountains.

The idea of ​​Yue Feng, the captain of the hunting team, is very simple. He will avoid the core area of ​​the target area. The rest is to let the hunting team members follow the newly-grown eagle Xiao Baimao to increase the opportunities for actual combat and quickly accumulate experience.

Fearing that there might be a male tiger hiding somewhere in the forest, the Yuefeng hunting team did not let any of the four dogs go as they led them up the mountain. They used the dogs as a leash and set off to surround the area with their large numbers.

This operation seemed a bit amateurish, but Yue Feng didn’t care. It was just a matter of catching rabbits while picking grass. If he was lucky, he would catch them. If he was unlucky, he would miss them. He didn’t worry about it.

After arranging the materials for making nests at around 11 o’clock in the morning, the Yuefeng hunting team headed northwest along the ridge line.

There was no good harvest in the first half, but when we got down the ridge and approached a rocky beach, Da Huang, who had been relatively quiet until then, kept sniffing at a poplar tree as thick as a bowl beside the road, and then started barking.

“What’s going on, brother? Dahuang has fallen for Sao!” Xiaowen kept holding the dog leash and didn’t let go all the way.

“Hmm? Don’t let the dog go yet, let me take a look!”

Yue Feng responded and took big strides towards the place where Da Huang was exerting his strength.

When he arrived in front of the poplar tree, Yue Feng looked around carefully, then carefully picked off a few short gray-brown hairs similar to those of a roe deer from the trunk about half a meter high.

“What is this thing? It doesn’t look like a wild boar. Could it be a roe deer? Or a deer?” Xiao Tao asked curiously.

Yue Feng shook his head: “It shouldn’t be the case. Whether it’s roe deer or deer, they don’t have the habit of marking their territory in this way!
And look at the height of the mark, this thing shouldn’t be very tall!”

“Or, let the dogs go and search?” Xiao Tao encouraged.

Yue Feng calculated in his mind that by walking along the mountain ridge, he had already walked out of the possible activity area of ​​the tiger. It would not be risky to go out and stalk the dogs now.

“Let them go! Let Black Wolf and Dahuang go, but don’t let the helping dog go yet!” Yue Feng gritted his teeth and made the decision.

Soon, the two dogs untied the ropes. Dahuang and Heilang were extremely sensitive to the smell on the tree trunk. After sniffing around, they soon became horny.

The four members of the hunting team followed the dog forward. After walking for a while, they discovered several marked trees one after another.

Yue Feng found a few round pieces of feces the size of soybeans under one of the trees. He simply sniffed it and had an answer in his mind: could it be this? !
