[It's moving!]

[What's in the soil?]

[I didn't see it with my own eyes, I thought Lao Kui was working!]

No one expected that Wang Kui's front foot just said that the position of the bulge in the middle of the palm print was a little weird, and in the next second, an even more terrifying scene appeared!

As the sand continues to loosen, the bulging bulges get taller and taller.

Land raising.

The bulge broke, as if everyone's hanging hearts were also pushed up to their throats, and a white-yellow, slightly translucent tentacle was the first to be exposed, and then a worm head stained with fine yarn!

It's locusts!

And not one!!

As the first locust came out, four or five more translucent locusts pushed open the sand wall of the bulge, and the audience looked at it, and it turned out that the whole bulge was a locust nest!!

These locusts were markedly different from the previous ones, they were small, and their wings could not be spread, and they could even walk.

"It's a locust nymph......"

Wang Kui easily pinched one, "When the female locust is fertilized and ovulated, she will bury them in the sand, because the locust does not have the pupal stage, it will burrow out after becoming a nymph......"

Just as he was explaining to the audience.

On the other side, a small dirt bag was also crushed, and many nymphs came out.

It is the first time for most sailors to see the scene of insect hatching, because the physiological structure of mammals and arthropods is completely different, so watching nymphs break the ground so closely, it is like watching alien creatures, there is always an indescribable sense of fear.

"Something is wrong...... I originally thought that the locust swarm in that oasis had multiplied because of the rain a few days ago, but it takes at least twenty days for locust eggs to hatch and turn into nymphs!"

"In other words, for this batch of locusts in the UAE to become the large-scale multiplication it is today, it would have started at least a few months, or even a year ago, if it had been a year ago......"

Wang Kui threw away the nymph in his hand, looked up in vain, looked at the sky, and his face suddenly became extremely grim:

"I remembered that in 18 years, there was a torrential rainfall in the Arabian Desert, with 270 millimeters of rain in one year, while the average annual precipitation in the Arab region was only 30 millimeters, which is equivalent to nine years of rain in one year, and the Rub al-Khali Desert even flooded because of it. ”

"Normally, drought is the basis of locust outbreaks, then heavy rain is the key point of locust outbreaks, a large amount of precipitation leads to rapid growth of vegetation, locusts have enough food, locusts are most active in this environment, like to eat, conducive to growth, sufficient food will provide very favorable living conditions for nymphs!"

As he spoke to the audience, he continued to the southeast of the oasis, looking for the other footprints of the tiger lion.

But I didn't think of it.

The number of desert locusts here is far more than what I have seen before!

The most scalp-numbing thing is.

There is a desert palm tree, the bark is densely packed, crawling with a large number of yellow-brown desert locusts, it looks like there are countless moving brown and black eyes on the big tree, which directly raises the difficulty of dense phobia to the full level!

Whoa~~~

They squeezed each other against each other in the trees, rubbing their antennae and hind limbs in a rattlesnake-like grinding sound.

[Is this the Earth for sure?]

[QAQ Ma Ma I'm scared!]

[My second uncle saw this locust tree, and he was so numb that his cerebral thrombosis was cleared!]

Wang Kui looked at such a dense number of locusts, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's terrible, in the past 5 years, the desert locusts don't know how many generations they have been crazy to breed, you know, they were supposed to live alone, but when there are too many nymphs, like this, squeezing each other and rubbing their hind legs frequently, the brain will secrete a pheromone called "serotonin", and then the locusts will change from scattered to social type. ”

"The personality of the locusts in this state has changed greatly, becoming very violent, and the body color has changed accordingly, and at the same time, it has become more able to eat, more able to fly, and the quality of the eggs is higher, which is called berserk in entomology, also called zombieization!"

"The rampaging desert locusts can fly 150 kilometers a day and eat plants and grains dozens of times their own body weight, and once a large-scale locust plague really occurs, not only the Arab region will suffer, but also the neighboring East African region, as well as India and Pakistan in West Asia, will be affected!"

Oh, my God!

This is just in time for the army!

But some people can't help but joke, send a bunch of birds, or simply hire 10,000 Chinese people to go over, and they will definitely eat and exterminate the desert locusts!

In the south, there are a lot of fried insect delicacies, which are nutritious, high in protein, and delicious!

But Wang Kui shook his head:

"Locust plagues can be called three plagues along with floods and droughts, which are not so easy to solve, once locust plagues occur, few natural enemies like to prey, because social locusts will release a large number of volatile compound phenylacetonitrile, and eventually synthesize the highly toxic compound hydrocyanic acid. ”

"So, in that oasis yesterday, you can still see a lot of snakes and jackals that prey on locusts, but in this oasis, except for locust swarms and dead corpses, there are no other visible creatures, Lao Zhao, find a way to communicate with Tifa and Rahman, and let the UAE find a way to deal with it as soon as possible......

After barely discerning a few footprints.

Wang Kui quickly left the oasis and returned to the car.

It is clear that the tiger lion eats after the hyena herd has eaten the carcass of the oryx, and judging by the footprints and scratches, the time was just yesterday, which undoubtedly provided it with high calories and protein, so that it has the strength to continue to flee to the southeast.

But.

Regardless of whether it will be able to get enough food in the future, the most dangerous thing at the moment is that its hunting range overlaps with that of the striped hyena.

The male lion is not 100% sure that he can fight the hyena pack, let alone the tiger lion beast that is a head shorter in its own strength.

Therefore, Wang Kui must speed up the hunt!

All the way to the south, counting the kilometers, he had completely run out of the range of the Mamon Reserve and entered the real uninhabited wilderness.

As time goes by, the temperature in the desert rises rapidly.

Under the scorching sun, his face was already covered with fine sweat, and even the position of his cheekbones was a little red.

When passing by the next oasis.

He found two spherical mushrooms the size of a baby's fist in the bushes near the oasis, yes, a yellowish-white ball with many small brown dots on top of the stem.

The only thing that is somewhat peculiar is that at the top of the umbrella, there is a small hole covered with granulation.

Many viewers love and fear mushrooms.

Normally, wild mushrooms are indeed delicious, but people with a little common sense know that there are too many types of fungi, and there are many poisonous ones, and there are often news of poisoning from eating wild mushrooms.

"This is a kind of desert Marben fungus, many Yundian, Xinyi should have seen a lot, commonly known as horse manure bag, some of the Marbon fungus can be eaten when it is young, but these two are not good, but its fungus umbrella is rich in spores, has a strong hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effect......"

After picking one off, Wang Kui squeezed the fungus umbrella at the camera, and a lot of brick-red powder sprayed out of the umbrella.

[Through the screen, I feel like I've been sprayed all over the face!]

[Why do I always think this thing is poisonous?]

[As soon as I talk about horse manure balls, I remembered that when I was a child, there were a lot of hometowns in the countryside, and we often played!]

He smashed the fungus umbrella, revealing a large amount of spore powder, "We mixed this thing with water and applied it to my face to protect from the sun and prevent the sunburn on my cheekbones." ”

Human hair is not as long as that of animals, and the skin is poorly protected.

Wang Kui applied red spore paint to his face, making him look like an Indian warrior.

Then, he took out a white scarf from his equipment bag and wrapped it around his head.

It turns out.

Wang Kui's two decisions were very wise, the sun hung high in the sky at noon in Arabia, extremely violent, and the desert was everywhere visible to the naked eye, distorting and steaming heat waves, and the temperature had exceeded 45 degrees Celsius.

On the dunes, locusts are grazing on the only hay they have.

They are no longer limited to oases, but are beginning to gather throughout the desert on a large scale.

This is very unfavorable to Wang Kui.

Their traces of activity can obscure the footprints of tigers, lions, including plants that have been trampled.

So he changed his strategy and focused his search on the oasis.

After all, the tiger and lion beast is a combination of a tiger and a lion, and naturally inherits certain habits from both sides.

Tigers are jungle creatures and prefer to live in dense jungles, which not only gives them a strong sense of security, but also makes it easier for them to hunt.

In fact, even the entire feline population, including domestic cats, prefer to hide in corners, under tables.

Since it is difficult to find traces, focus on possible active habitats.

He didn't believe it, this tiger and lion beast could still sleep without?

Thereupon.

Every time he passed an oasis, Wang Kui would get out of the car and carefully observe the footprints, some oases did not, but some oases left some clues.

It's afternoon.

He saw an oasis again, and from a long distance, he first looked through it with a telescope, and from the outside, it was no different from other oases.

But Wang Kui carefully found that whether it was on the trees or the bushes, there were very few desert locusts crawling!

"Something is wrong, there are many fewer locusts in this oasis than before, there is only one possibility, there is a movement here before that disturbs them, and it will force the locusts to leave temporarily!"

"There's a good chance it's a tiger lion or a pack of hyenas!"

He hurriedly stopped the car and turned off the ignition, and carried the Black Realm rifle on his back.

[Lao Kui be careful!]

[It's too dangerous, why can't you drive there?]

[Are you a fool who said that you drove over, in case it is a tiger and lion beast, won't you run away in shock?

As the barrage says, hunting, details matter.

This is especially true for hunting these apex predators, as they are hunters themselves at the top of nature.

So, you'll need to be smarter and more cautious than them to have a chance of completing the hunt.

Otherwise, the relationship between the two parties may be swapped at any time, and the hunter will become the prey!

After Wang Kui turned off the engine, he didn't even close the car door.

The loud mechanical opening and closing sound can easily attract the attention of tigers, lions, beasts or hyenas, and another reason for not closing the door is to facilitate getting on the bus as soon as possible in the event of a crisis!

He walked a few dozen steps and lay down fifty or sixty meters from the oasis.

"Before approaching the hunting site, we have to be cautious, because we are not dealing with herbivores such as deer and cows, which will attack and kill us. ”

"I don't know if the sound of the car engine just now will alarm it, let's observe it for 5 to 10 minutes, which is called the observation period of the hunting point, which can effectively reduce the alertness of the target and avoid its own safety risks!"

Wang Kui is not only an experienced hunter, but the most important thing is not to float!

He never despised any hunting target, because he knew that many hunters relied on their own guns to despise predators, and finally were killed.

Before coming, he also went to the official website of the ESCI forum to inquire about the information about the tiger lion.

Although no one in the world has ever hunted a tiger lion beast, it has been raised, and its danger is a cut above that of an ordinary leopard!

[It's good to be cowardly, and in the end it is victory!]

[Yes, reality hunting is not a game, and those who go up to hard steel are fools!]

10 minutes passed.

There are no anomalies in the oasis.

Wang Kui shook his hand and asked Batu to be the vanguard, and he followed behind, cautiously approaching the hunting spot.

If something happens, Batu is fast enough for it to react in the first place.

The only pity is that the two hounds' sense of smell is difficult to exert here, because there are too many pungent smells of locust volatilization, which can easily interfere with their judgment.

Seeing that Batu and Lao Kui were getting closer and closer, the audience's breathing slowed down, and their attention was all on the oasis, as if they had substituted themselves into it.

Woo——!

Suddenly, there was a chirp of a falcon in the sky.

Wang Kui looked up and saw a big falcon with wings spread over one meter and white feathers and ink spots, hovering horizontally over his head.

It was the Hai Dongqing who competed with him yesterday!

"Nima, if you don't come early or late, you have to come here at this time......"

He scolded, immediately stopped moving forward, and continued to pick up the telescope to observe, because the arrival of Hai Dongqing was likely to attract the attention of the target prey.

But after waiting for a minute, there was still no movement.

"The target is probably gone, otherwise there is an Eagle Falcon invasion, at least you should look up and ......"

Wang Kui squatted up directly and walked into the oasis with a gun.

Entering the bushes, he found several obvious plum blossom footprints.

Da Gu and Ba Du took the opportunity to sniff around, and the Hai Dongqing circled a few times, and landed on a sand purple willow with purple flowers in the oasis.

Its falcon head was like a physical stabilizer, staring at Wang Kui in 180-degree panning.

"Giggle......"

At this time, the big jaw suddenly bared his teeth.

Wang Kui pulled the trigger with his right hand, turned his head and raised the gun, it turned out that he had discovered a suspicious location with his big cheek!

It was a verdant sand bush with a few grasshoppers crawling.

But the place of concern is the root of the bush, and there are several obvious traces of digging cover.

He squinted, squatted down, moved along the four digging marks, and confirmed: "Judging from the width of the finger marks, it must be the tiger lion beast, which is likely to be the feces it covers, and cats like to cover their feces, which is a hidden habit left over from ancient times." ”

Find a twig and dig a bunker.

Sure enough, there was a long, thick, black, thick strip of feces inside.

"This is very typical big cat feces, in the form of segmented tubes, over 8 inches in length, proving that it has an excellent digestive tract of the large intestine, and more than 3 inches in diameter, proving that the anal opening is very wide, and the animal is larger, more than 1.5 meters. ”

Wang Kui picked it up and pinched it with his hand, and the feces were easily crushed: "The feces are very smelly, there are animal hairs, there are no grass seeds, it proves that it is pure meat, and most importantly, it is very soft inside, it should have just been pulled!"

Even if it is not the first time to see Lao Kui to distinguish dung, the sailors are still impressed by his analysis!

[Awesome!A piece of can analyze so much information!]

[Lao Kui is a veteran of playing!]

[Touching the of the tiger lion beast in this life can be regarded as awesome!]

Wang Kui rubbed off the feces of the tiger and lion beast on his fingers with sand, but wiped the smell on his wrist, and turned his head to the sound of the watch and said: "Lao Zhao, reduce the height of the drone, the tiger and lion beast is likely to be nearby, it is artificially captive, and it has been used to seeing shooting equipment since childhood, and it is very sensitive to this kind of thing!"

Wait until the drone comes down.

He first judged the direction of the wind with the sand, and this time, he did not directly choose the ambush point, but first brought Batu to the upwind direction, "Felines are very sensitive to air currents, they are predators, so they will definitely attack from the angle of downwind, we use the smell of Batu to lure it to the bait." ”

"But I can only keep one, because the tiger lion beast is weaker than the wild cat family, if it smells two animals, it will probably not dare to come, I already have the smell of tiger lion feces, plus the smell of desert locusts, it should not find me." ”

"Now, we just need to attract it with a call and aim for the downwind direction......"

After speaking, Wang Kui put his hands together, clamped his lips, and let out a small scream, "Woo——! woo——!"

"It's a young canine call, I can't use the call of an oryx, because Hassan has eaten a oryx and he can tell the smell of the oryx......"

Stop.

This voice not only felt like the audience, but even the Hai Dongqing almost flapped its wings and was ready to fly over.

Wang Kui glanced at it and didn't pay any attention to it, but lay on the ground, holding a black country rifle, and focused all his attention on the downwind direction of the oasis.

It turns out.

Indeed, a predator is more daring than a prey!

Yesterday, he repeated the experiment more than a dozen times in the desert, and it took more than half an hour to get the golden sand rabbit to take the bait.

And now.

It only took him three times before he noticed the movement.

Seventy or eighty meters away from the oasis, a shadow popped out from a sand dune.

Wang Kui hurriedly pasted the scope and began to correct the elevation angle.

Through drone observation, the audience can only see a yellowish fluff, and they have no idea what is hiding behind the sand dunes.

But as the yellow shadow continued to rise, a pair of pale golden half-towering beast pupils were revealed, staring at the direction where the big belly was, bursting out with a dazzling essence, even the sailors across the screen felt that the murderous aura of the beast pupils erupted like a raging wind and waves!

Is this the horror of the top big cat?

Just one look makes people's bodies weak!

And it is this pair of golden beast pupils full of violentness, but it makes many sailors feel familiar!

Old Kui!

Right!

Come to think of it!

They had also seen this kind of ferocity like a hanging tiger pupil in Lao Kui's eyes!

And as Hassan crossed the dunes, everyone finally saw what it looked like!

As Lao Kui said.

Its pedigree is worthy of the famous family, the body length is close to 1.7 meters, the body is as strong as an ox, the body of a lion is the head of a tiger, the body is covered with golden-brown hair, there are dark brown markings on it, the long hair on the back is like a large cotton robe, flat and neatly draped over the shoulders, the limbs are thick, the tips of the claws are pierced out of the toes, the tail is thick and long, with brown rings, like a steel whip slightly curved and swaying.

There is a long beard on the white mouth, a circle like a lion, and a pale golden mane on the cheeks, which is majestic and majestic, completely comparable to a real tiger lion!

Although it doesn't have top-notch hunting skills, it still retains feline instincts:

Keep your body down, take advantage of your light steps, and keep getting closer to where Batu is!!

Just this ferocious momentum, as long as you look at it, you already feel breathless!

"Here it is, my cannabetic bullet has very little gunpowder filled, and I have to draw it to within 60 meters to be sure that it can be used to penetrate the blood vessels, and the safe distance for dangerous animals is 50 meters, and I only have one chance...... Whew......"

Wang Kui explained in the smallest voice, and then took a deep breath, trying to suppress his heart rate.

But he found that this time, the blood in his body was flowing too fast!

No way!

It's a human physiological instinct!

When you face a beast that is far stronger than you and can easily wipe out humans, no one will not feel fear.

His subjective consciousness is constantly battling adrenaline.

One wants to lower your heart rate for the most stable shooting state, and the other wants to constantly raise your heart rate to improve muscle strength and make you better at fighting!

Seventy-five meters!

Wang Kui didn't dare to make a sound or gasp anymore.

This distance is already extremely dangerous!

A pair of white whiskers on the feline's mouth are very perceptive and can easily judge the movement of air currents in the air.

Seventy meters!

Wang Kui pressed his right eye to the scope.

The side neck of Hassan's tiger head seemed to be right in front of him, getting closer and closer!

Knock knock!

The heart is contracting.

Many sailors subconsciously covered their mouths and stared intently at Lao Kui's muzzle, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Sixty-five meters!

Wang Kui squinted, the tip of his right index finger had already been attached to the trigger, waiting to pull the fire at any time, as long as he came five meters more!

He's 100% sure of hitting the blood vessels in the neck!

Whoop~~

However, just as Hassan walked into a distance of sixty-three meters, suddenly, there was a strange sound all around, and Wang Kui was so startled that Wang Kui almost shot!

[What's the movement?]

[Yes, where did the sound come from?]

The audience couldn't tell which way it was going.

Collecting land, Hassan turned sharply and ran wildly towards the southeast.

"!"

Wang Kui gritted his teeth and slammed his fist into the ground, he wanted to shoot, but at a distance of more than sixty meters, it was difficult to cause effective injuries, but it was easy to provoke the tiger lion beast!

Huhuhu~

Hai Dongqing flickered his wings on the side, as if he was laughing at him, and the strange noise around him became louder and louder, and it shook its wings and wanted to leave.

But the moment it flew into the air, above the oasis, a thick black mist floated in the dark!

Wang Kui stared at the beads of his eyes, looking at the dense black fog that covered the sky and the sun, and his complexion changed greatly: "Lie down ——!"

He used almost all his strength to yell at Badu!

Because!

That black fog is a desert locust!

The next moment!

Fluffy clouds rolled in the sky, and tens of millions of locusts rushed in like a blizzard hail, countless wings flapped, making a terrifying loud sound, crackling, and directly sweeping the entire oasis!!
