"Depending on the direction the elephant is traveling, there should be a water source in front of it, and although African elephants often wander around aimlessly, they usually choose a pond and stop nearby for a short time to eat the delicious food around the pond and change places. ”

"One side of the trail leads to the east, where there is a savanna, where there is little chance of a water source, and on the other side it leads to the direction of dark green vegetation, where water is relatively abundant and there is a high possibility of a pond. ”

Confirming the direction, the two walked along the beast path to find the much-needed water source.

Just as the two of them walked forward cautiously, a yellow shadow suddenly flashed in the grass next to the beast path.

"Be careful!" Liu Danqing immediately sat down on his horse, stared at that side, and said, "Weiwei, you are optimistic about the back, be careful of sneak attacks." ”

"There's also in the back!" Xiao Weiwei and Liu Danqing were back to back, looking behind them with spears.

Liu Danqing looked at the grass carefully, but he couldn't see what kind of animal it was, the grass here grew too luxuriantly, and the yellow and green weeds more than a meter high perfectly blocked his vision, so that he couldn't see the hidden person at all, and could only see the grass shaking constantly.

"Walk back to back," Liu Danqing said, and began to move slowly: "The front should be more open, and the grass is much sparser, so when we get there, we can at least see what surrounds us." ”

In the undulating weeds around them, as well as the sound of Suosuo, the two walked all the way to the open place that Liu Danqing said.

As the two continued on, the stalker finally revealed his form.

Thirty or forty centimeters tall at the shoulders, less than a meter long, the color of the coat is messy, including black, yellow and white, etc., and the most special thing is the two large round ears, each of which looks not much smaller than the head.

"African wild dogs!" Liu Danqing recognized the identity of the comer, it was the vulnerable group on the African savannah, the African wild dog group, although it is a vulnerable group, but its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

"One, two, three, four..... a total of eleven wild dogs. ”

Xiao Weiwei counted the number of wild dogs and reported the number.

Eleven adult dingoes, it seems that their population can have about thirty or fifty individuals, which is not too big and not too small.

Liu Danqing looked at the surrounding African wild dog pack and felt a great headache.

"These guys are very troublesome, similar to other canines, they generally follow their prey for a long time, they are stubborn, they don't actually hunt by hiding sneak attacks, but use the environment to form an encirclement of the prey, and round it up. ”

After a pause, Liu Danqing said even more depressedly: "African wild dogs generally feed on medium-sized hoofed animals, do we look like harmless hoofed animals, or are these wild dogs too stupid?"

"I think they're too stupid to make themselves endangered. Liu Danqing asked and answered himself, and then said: "Weiwei, you steady, I will sprint immediately, injure or kill a wild dog, and then threaten them to see if I can drive these guys away." ”

Xiao Weiwei nodded behind him and replied, "Okay, don't worry, I will guard the back." ”

After receiving Xiao Weiwei's reply, Liu Danqing waved his gun at an African wild dog in front of him a few times, then roared at it a few times, and took two steps forward.

The wild dog on the opposite side was a little confused about Liu Danqing's details, and took a few steps back in front of him.

The African wild dog on Liu Danqing's left moved a little closer to maintain the pressure of the encirclement on Liu Danqing.

Just when the wild dog had just taken a step forward, Liu Danqing turned around suddenly, took a few steps, threw up a few dusty dust, and rushed towards the wild dog on the left.

The African wild dog on the left hand side is one of the largest in the population, with a body length of almost one meter, and the black patterns on its body are distinct from dots, lines, strips, and blocks.

Seeing Liu Danqing suddenly rushing towards him with a spear in his hand, the wild dog who couldn't figure out the details was suddenly startled and wanted to turn around and run away, but the momentum of the advance was still there, but he turned around in an instant and couldn't exert his strength, and slowed down.

What Liu Danqing wants is its sluggishness, otherwise with the running speed of African wild dogs of forty or fifty yards, even the world sprinter Bolt will not be able to catch up with them, and his maximum speed will only be thirty-seven yards when converted into yards.

When it was too late, the spear in Liu Danqing's hand stabbed out, but the target was not the head of the African wild dog, but it was flicked on its front feet.

The African wild dog, which was turning, was pulled on its front feet, and suddenly lost its center of gravity, and its whole body fell sideways.

Liu Danqing took another big step at this time, and then the spear in his hand shook, his right hand was raised, his left hand was pressed down, and he shouted: "Go!"

A "prick" trick stabbed fiercely at the exposed neck of the African wild dog.

With a "poof", the not-so-sharp Phillips screwdriver thrust into its neck and poked it in half, under the action of Liu Danqing's strength and the two-phase action of the ground blocking under the wild dog.

With the wild dog on the tip of the spear, Liu Danqing immediately retreated to Xiao Weiwei's back, ignoring the wild dog's dying struggle, raised the wild dog hanging on the tip of the spear, and roared loudly at the other African wild dogs.

"Come on, wild dogs, come and try Uncle Ben's marksmanship, come on!"

Stimulated by the bloody killing, Liu Danqing became quite arrogant, and put a lot of pressure on those wild dogs when he yelled.

Seeing that their strong companions were killed in an instant, the other wild dogs began to retreat one by one, and looked at each other, exchanging opinions.

Less than ten seconds later, the wild dogs turned around and began to flee, disappearing into the dense grass in an instant.

Liu Danqing shook the spear body, threw the wild dog down, and let out a long breath.

Xiao Weiwei was also relieved at this time, and asked: "Qingqing, these wild dogs seem to be more cowardly, only one died, and the remaining ten all ran away, and there is no intention of revenge at all." ”

Liu Danqing listened, smiled and explained: "This is the power of seckill. ”

"In this grassland, all the animals are extremely afraid of the creatures that can kill them in an instant, and their way to save their lives is to escape. ”

"For example, African wild dogs, they go back to kill lone hyenas, even lioness, but they will never offend male lions, because male lions have the ability to kill them in seconds. ”

"And a small group of several male lions may sneak up on the baby elephant, or even the female elephant, but they will never provoke the adult male elephant, also because of the ability of the adult male elephant owner to kill the male lion in seconds. ”

"If my blow just now only injured the African wild dog, then we are in trouble. ”

"At that time, the African wild dogs will judge that our attack power is not enough to kill them in an instant, and then they will think that they can hunt us down with their collective strength, and they will launch a general attack. To these social creatures, injuries seem so insignificant compared to two huge prey. ”

Pulling out the spear from the African wild dog, Liu Danqing wiped the tip of the spear on the weeds next to him, wiped off some blood, and found a piece of elephant poop with a little moisture, and the tip of the spear poked in and stirred it to further remove the blood stains on it and remove the smell of blood.

"Let's go, let's continue to go" Carrying the spear on his shoulder again, Liu Danqing said to Xiao Weiwei, who was on guard.

"Huh?" Xiao Weiwei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Qingqing, what should I do with this wild dog? ”

Liu Danqing shook his head and said helplessly: "Don't do it, it's too dangerous to walk with the carcass of wild dogs, and the smell of blood is undoubtedly telling those carnivorous beasts that there is food here, even if we can fight it, but we can't afford to hurt it!"

Then he began to tell a tragic story as he walked: "In June of this year, seven men drove two cars to hunt in the grasslands of South Africa, and they were lucky enough to hunt an African buffalo. ”

The group began to take off the bison's head, hind legs, and loin, and prepared to make taxidermy and eat it, but they didn't expect the smell of blood to attract a group of African second brothers, that is, spotted hyenas. ”

"The spotted hyenas launched a surprise attack on their food, and while grabbing beef, they also killed three people and bit four others, one of whom succumbed to his injuries and later died. ”

Xiao Weiwei asked suspiciously: "The spotted hyena is so powerful, the seven of them should all have guns, and four of them were bitten to death?"

"That's right, it's so powerful, the female spotted hyena can grow to one meter and eight meters long, sprint at a speed of 60 yards, and the bite force is twice as strong as that of the male lion, reaching 500 kilograms. ”

"And they are good at sneak attacks, the fur with black spots on a yellow background, mixed in the grass, it is difficult to be detected, and the group of people was attacked by the spotted hyena after approaching, causing a big mess, and then being attacked to death. ”

"I'm going, Africa is so horrible, it's terrible. ”

"The people of Africa are living in dire straits!"

"I just searched for spotted hyenas, and I feel that they are cute, but they are so ruthless?"

"Ask for a spotted hyena puppy, I want to raise one. ”

Liu Danqing's words also surprised the audience, seven hunters with hot weapons can't get a group of dogs, which makes them hotly discuss in the comment area of the live broadcast room.

After telling the tragic story, Liu Danqing picked up the water bottle, carefully instigated a little water, put it in his mouth, and stopped talking.

Xiao Weiwei is too, silently hurrying with a little fresh water.

When there is a lack of fresh water, it can only be replenished in this way, and through oral absorption, it can play a maximum role in quenching thirst, improve the utilization rate of fresh water, and can also have an additional benefit, cooling.

It took a sip of water for fifteen minutes before Xiao Weiwei swallowed the last trace into her stomach.

looked at Liu Danqing, who was still silent, and she sighed: "It's still clear, I drank a sip of water before me, and I haven't finished it yet." ”

As she spoke, she took out the water bottle and shook it, and said distressedly: "There is only the last sip left, if we can't find a water source again, we should slowly run out of water." ”
