Chapter 2: Traps

Andes Giant Bear is not having a good time, the strong anti-shock force directly slammed it back to the ground, when it landed, the right palm was obviously a little unnatural, the flesh is the flesh after all, and a rock is hard, it is not a wise choice, but it has regained the initiative, and its choice has not changed - attack.

This boulder, which has no advantage in size, can no longer be an obstacle to it after losing its suddenness, and a double jump is a slight borrowing force on it to climb over.

Oh!

Andis Bear, who had just crossed the boulder, let out a terrible scream, and at some point it had an additional half-foot-long arrow tail on its right eye, and it was bleeding profusely.

Andes Bear is so caught up in the boulder trap that he ignores another deadly element, Sean, the young Andes mountain hunter who sets a chain of traps.

Sean did not let go of this great opportunity, or rather, the series of traps he laid were to create this trap, and he quietly shot a fatal arrow.

This arrow is a little different from the previous arrows, not only the firing weapon is different, the structure is also fundamentally different, the first two kinds of arrows, although the length and thickness are different, but the principle is the same, the arrow shaft is cut out of logs, and the iron arrow and arrow feathers are completed.

Attached to Andes' Giant Bear's Eye is a composite arrow with a shaft made of multiple strips of logs glued together and covered with special arrowheads and feathers.

This arrow has a unique name among the Andes mountain people, the flowering arrow.

As the name suggests, when the prey tries to make such an arrow, if the force is not careful, the glued and unstrong log will bloom in the prey's body like a flower, forming a more lethal secondary injury - a flower of flesh and blood that blooms on the prey.

It doesn't matter if the prey is not messed around, there are many deliberately left gaps between the pieces of logs, and the middle arrow hole forms a natural bloodletting device, if it is not pulled out as soon as possible, the danger is also fatal, even if it is the largest prey of the Andes Crater, the Andes giant bear, will be bloodlet and killed in just a quarter of an hour, so this kind of arrow is also called a bloodletting arrow.

Some people will call it a bear hunting arrow, and it can only be used against dangerous large prey such as Andes Bear, Andes Tiger, Four-horned Bullback, and Wild Boar.

In contrast to the terrifying power, the defects of this arrow are also very obvious, and the complexity of the process is only one of them, the gluing process and the unstable body of the arrow limit the length, thickness, and thus the range.

Once the range exceeds fifteen meters, the bear-hunting arrows are likely to bloom in mid-air, and the difficulty of control is also multiplied, even the most skilled archers among the Andes mountain people are powerless, and there are too many variables caused by the ventilated arrow shafts on all sides.

There will be subtle differences in each one, and it is a one-time consumable, which makes it impossible to start practicing.

Therefore, if you want to use this arrow against your prey, you must be close enough to your prey.

When the prey is an extremely dangerous prey such as the Andes Bear, whether or not the target is missed, the hunter will be in an extremely dangerous environment, and the injured bear is even more terrifying.

Bear hunting fails, and it is the norm to become the food in the mouth of the giant bear.

Even for the natural hunters of the Andes mountain people, hunting an adult Andes bear is a task that only the brave man with a lot of experience and enough courage can accomplish, just like the Condor Archer, the Giant Bear Hunter is a very honorable title.

Whoa!

The Andes Bear was very unlucky, and after suffering from pain, he subconsciously flicked the tail of the arrow that was exposed, and the flowering arrow bloomed in its right eye, forming a huge flesh hole.

The blood was no longer gushing outward, but spurting outward, and the intense pain and fear made it almost insane, slamming left and right, and anything that stood in front of it was slapped away by its palm, and the trees below the mouth of the bowl could not withstand the force of his slap.

This madness does nothing but speed up blood loss.

After shooting the flowering arrow, Sean didn't care at all, left as fast as he could, and played hand-to-hand combat with Andes Giant Bear, even if a big knight shot it himself, it would be dead or alive.

After several minutes of madness, fear overcame anger in Andes' heart, and once again made what it thought was the best option - turn and run.

If it had been a few minutes ago, it would have been wise to make such a choice, without the trap of traps, Sean would never have let these grumpy behemoths get twenty meters closer to him.

But now, no matter what it does, it is in vain, the laceration wound formed by the flowering arrow, even the Andis Giant Bear, who was born with a strong physique, has no way to heal itself, and death is his only destination, it is only a matter of time.

With a loud whistle, there was a burst of excited barking in the distance, and the young Andes mountain hunter Sean had already made peace with his hound.

Bows, knives, and hounds are the three traditional standards of the Andes mountain hunters, and the Andes mountain hunters without dogs are like knights without horses, which are incomplete.

You can do without a bow or a sword, but you can't do without a hound.

This is the first hunting experience that the old Andes mountain hunter taught his son or apprentice, to be precise, survival experience, because the consequences of not bringing a hunting dog are not only related to the amount of prey harvested, but often their own lives cannot be brought back.

Hunting dogs with keen senses are more likely to spot not only prey, but also predators, especially at night.

Experienced Andes mountain dwellers will not easily camp alone in the mountains and forests without a hound.

Sean's hounds are made up of three Andes Hounds, three Long-haired Hounds, and six Wolfhounds, which is quite the largest hounds of this size even among Andes Mountain Hunters.

Not every dog can be a hunting dog, and the potential wear and tear during the hunt means that to maintain such a large hunting dog pack, it is necessary to have more than twice as many spare dogs (typically two-thirds puppies and one-third adults).

Even if it is free-range, the dog group will solve a part of the food by itself, but fixed feeding is still indispensable, if this link to establish feelings is missing, it is not a hunting dog, but a wild dog.

This is the price that Sean often likes to pay for hunting alone, and the base number of various types of dogs in the hunting dog pack must be more than two to prevent one of them from being injured or killed.

If you hunt with multiple people, it is not so troublesome, and each person can bring three to four, and you can form a large, fully functional and huge group of hounds.

Once the hounds exceed the triple digits, all the beasts in the mountains have to retreat, including the usual swaggers, but this is not common, and this is not very efficient, and only occurs during the year when large hunters are hunted and prey are overflowing.

Andis Mountain Hunters usually prefer small hunting teams based on families, and people like Sean who like to act alone are in the minority, and those who like to do this are either extremely confident or have their own secrets, and both Sean is a little bit of it, and it doesn't count.

This time he was not hunting alone, there were more than a dozen people behind the hounds, a dozen and a half children, the oldest looked only a year or two younger than Sean, and the youngest was seven or eight years old.

Running like a fly in the mountains, he is obviously a middle and old man, and as he runs, he makes a strange "lotus" call, and the hounds create the illusion that the injured Andes bear is full of enemies on all sides.

In front of the hounds that were good at tracking, the injured Andes bear had no chance of escaping, and fell into the encirclement of the hounds in an open field by the rushing stream three kilometers away from the boulder trap.

In normal times, this mountain stream, which is less than ten meters wide, does not cause any trouble to the Andis Giant Bear at all, but after losing nearly a third of its body's blood and falling into a state of extreme weakness, it becomes an insurmountable obstacle.

Several attempts to cross the stream were blocked by the hounds, and the icy water accelerated the flow of body heat, only making it weaker with each attempt.

Wow!

The hounds formed a huge circular encirclement around the Andes Bear and took turns attacking.

If you look closely, you will find that their attack is not a wild bite, but a reasonable division of labor and hierarchy.

The twelve hounds were apparently divided into three small groups, each consisting of an Andes Hound, a long-haired Hound, and two wolfhounds.

Each attack was initiated by the Andes Hound, and if the Andes Bear attracted its attention, it would swing a shot and turn away from it.

The hounds in this small gang will take the opportunity to attack from the side or behind the Andes Bear, and if the Andes Bear does not notice him, it will launch a substantial attack, using the way of reality to perfection, giving the illusion that the attack is always coming from behind or on the side of the Andes Bear.

Hounds attack differently from their close relatives, especially when dealing with large prey, and they rarely rush up to bite them, they tend to bite or slap lightly.

Rather than killing the prey, it is better to attract their attention to lure them to attack, in order to maximize the physical strength of the prey while waiting for the hunter, if the prey is injured, it will accelerate its blood loss, so as to achieve the purpose of bringing down the prey.

The reason for this difference is that the hounds have a deadly weapon that wolves do not have - the hunter.

Over the centuries of hunting together, the hounds have slowly changed their hunting habits.

However, once you return to the wilderness, it won't be long before the hunting mode of the Hound pack will return to wolf pack mode.

......

The Andys Hound is a comprehensive type of hunting dog, in addition to possessing an extraordinary sense of smell, vision, alertness, Tracking ability and combat effectiveness are good, is the panacea in the dog group, the most important thing is that this kind of dog has a high IQ, adulthood is comparable to eight or nine years old children, learn things very quickly, train well, even complex tactics are handy, loyalty is even more famous, usually only with one owner in life, so, want to raise this kind of hound must be brought from the time of weaning, an experienced Andes hound is the best choice to become a hunting dog group of dogs, sometimes wisdom is more important than personal force.
