Although the target of the quest is the Saker, it is actually the people who need to hunt down!
Wang Kui hurriedly logged in to the computer to inquire about the relevant information.
"On July 14, 2022, the sensational Yundian Chuncheng college student falcon hunting case was officially cracked, and the college students acted as illegal poaching intermediaries, peddling 10 crested falcons, obtaining more than 8,000 yuan in black benefits, and was sentenced to 3 years.
"It is reported that this name Lao Jiu is the middle leader of the Yundian underground falcon trade, the upstream poachers stole birds of prey and sold them to him at the 'purchase price', and then sold them to the lower eagle lovers at a high price through post bars and QQ groups, and the amount involved is huge, amounting to millions!"
"At present, the Lao Jiu gang has been broken, and the younger brother confessed that they have a big deal recently, and two poachers from the north are poaching falcons on the third peak of Taizi Snow Mountain in Deqin County, and there are already middlemen who have gone to the mountain to connect. ”
"After the public security officers learned about it, they immediately entered the snow mountain to arrest them, but due to the high altitude, large area, dense forests, abnormal weather, many wild animals, and poachers armed with heavy crossbows, homemade shotguns and other illegal weapons, some police officers have been injured, and the poachers and contacts are still at large, and the arrest operation is extremely difficult......
The verdict of the college students was announced more than 10 days ago, but the news of the arrest happened just two days ago.
Wang Kui saw the end and found that the Deqin County Public Security Bureau had offered a reward of 50,000 yuan to catch the bandits.
"Dare to attack the police, the courage is not small......"
After reading it, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
But it's normal to think about it, the price of the falcon is extremely high, and it has been very hot at home and abroad over the years, especially the release of the "No Man's Land" movie that year, which has attracted widespread attention, and the protection of birds of prey has become more and more strict, 12 years ago, Mongolia has banned the export of falcons, plus this thing has a high altitude, the survival rate of young birds is low, and the production is very small.
I heard that a superb Saker can sell for a sky-high price of 100,000 US dollars in the Middle East!
The amount of money involved is so large, and the falcon is a national second-class protected animal, once it is caught, at least more than ten years, it is no wonder that it will be desperate.
Species-level two-star difficulty, fortunately, it's not directly against poachers, it's just to catch black-hearted intermediaries, but it's still very dangerous.
As mentioned in the news, the altitude of the snow-capped mountains is high, and altitude sickness is a problem in the first place.
Again.
Prince Snow Mountain is a well-known mountain range, a real no-man's land, unlike Sigou Mountain, at least there are people living at the foot of the mountain, and there is at most a wild boar or coyote in the mountain, nothing ruthless!
Yundian Snow Mountain is different, snow wolves, jackals, wandering Tibetan mastiffs, and even leopards, etc., there are upper-class carnivorous predators!
At last.
What if you stumble upon a poacher with a gun?
Wang Kui stared at the words "classical hunting mode" in the system and thought for a long time.
No, I'll have to bring a hunting bow to save my life this time!
Although the status of two professional cards makes him proficient in various domestic firearms, but helplessly, he does not have a certificate of gun ownership, and there is no way to bring a gun.
Now the hunter of the lv2 level has a registered document to legally carry a controlled cold weapon!
Moreover, classical hunting also limited thermal weapons, and carrying a bow was the only option.
Why don't you bring a heavy crossbow?
Wang Kui smiled.
Although the crossbow bolt is lethal and simple to operate, it is too bulky and slow to change arrows, and it does not require too high skill and maneuverability.
To put it bluntly, the lower limit is high and the upper limit is low, which is more suitable for novices.
For a veteran like him with expert hunter experience, it's better to hunt a bow!
"No modern vehicles, which means I can use ancient vehicles, such as dog sleds, or horseback riding, or other animals?"
Looking at the last restriction, Wang Kui still felt that it was useless.
Unless you can ride a bear or a large deer, or other animals in the mountains, there is no advantage at all, riding horses to climb snowy mountains?
The quest is all over.
Wang Kui was ready to leave for the library to inquire about the detailed terrain, weather, and animal information of Prince Snow Mountain, and notified Zhao Zhongheng with WeChat that he was ready to start the next outdoor live broadcast and order air tickets.
Soon.
Zhao Zhongheng asked him to shoot a small video, and warmed up in Huyu's fish bar, fan base, and media platforms such as Douyin and Weibo.
I have to say.
The topic of "fighting poachers and hunting down top falcons" is a bit of a headline, but it's eye-catching enough.
Especially like the man-eating wolfdog, it is backed by real news, which only adds a lot of real excitement.
"Lao Kui, we'd better buy a 360-degree panoramic recorder for a while, although your sports recorder is ultra-wide-angle, but the shooting lens angle is limited, the 360-degree recorder can shoot your whole body, and you can even do a third-person perspective. ”
In the outdoor goods store, Zhao Zhongheng proposed a mouthful.
"When we have money in the future, we can also buy a film car, add an eight-axis professional-grade drone, and engage in a large depression angle, which is called an invincible, multi-camera joint switching, comparable to a documentary!"
The panoramic recorder can indeed adjust any angle to shoot, but someone needs to adjust it, and it is too difficult for one person, which is why Wang Kui did not choose to buy this in the first place.
But now with Zhao Zhongheng, he can directly control everything in the live broadcast room through the backstage broadcast technology.
"So you have to get the signing fee quickly......"
Wang Kui couldn't help but sigh that playing outdoors is really too expensive.
After entering the store to purchase for a while, a pair of professional snow shoes, a heavy jacket, an aviation carbon fiber sheet American hunting recurve bow, 30 pure carbon arrows, a professional outdoor binoculars, and 550 paracords cost him a total of more than 20,000 yuan.
No way.
If he wanted to enter the snowy mountain, the light jacket he originally opened with the system gift package couldn't withstand it at all.
Now it seems that the lottery of the system is actually quite money-saving!
After checking out, the two went to the electronics store in the mall, bought a 360, and lost more than 6,000 blood again!
The more than 40,000 soft girl coins that were originally earned by gifts suddenly bottomed out.
Following.
Wang Kui took all the equipment and big belly and came to Taoxian Airport.
Get ready to start, Snow Mountain Hunting!
