The lion hunter dared to provoke the African buffalo because he was fat, and he did not run fast, but he knew the habits of the African buffalo.

The cow did not chase them for revenge, and when she had not caught up with the group after a few steps, she stopped and returned to the herd with her head down.

This is the habit of the African buffalo, which is reluctant to be too far away from the herd, they are very herd-oriented animals, and they are insecure about the outside environment.

As a result, the African buffalo has become the largest and most abundant large wild animal on the African continent, and as long as the buffalo lives in a herd, even if it is as fierce as a lion, it will not dare to provoke them easily.

Once the African buffalo lives alone, it is not far from death, and hyenas, lions, leopards, crocodiles, all carnivores will prioritize them.

In addition, the outlier African buffalo has a very irritable personality, and under the psychological insecurity, they are aggressive, and will attack any creature that comes close to them or even appears in their field of vision.

It is also for this reason that they become enemies of all living creatures, accelerating their death.

Breaking away from the buffalo herd, Li Du inevitably complained: "Man, aren't you looking for trouble?" Luckily, we ran fast, otherwise it would have been too dangerous to be caught up by the buffalo. ”

They didn't take Sophie with them on this trip, and Sophie had no interest in hunting, and she didn't bother to follow them to suffer, so she stayed in the camp.

If Sophie had been with her, she would probably have been overtaken by the female buffalo.

The lion hunter laughed and said, "I'm not looking for trouble, Lee, wait and see, I'll take you to hunt lions in the evening, and of course, leopards, in short, we'll have a big harvest tonight." ”

Li Du reacted quickly, and immediately understood what he meant, and said, "You used the carcass of that little buffalo to attract the beast?" ”

The lion hunter winked at him and said, "You guessed it. ”

The puddle provides water for the surrounding animals, and there are many wild animals here.

Led by Apodu, they entered a small mountainous area, where dozens of small mounds appeared in front of them, on which weeds, shrubs, and small trees grew, and some wild birds chirped.

Apodu waved his hand, pointed to a mound in front of him, and said something vague.

He spoke in Zulu, which Li Du did not understand, so he looked at the lion hunter.

The lion hunter perked up and said, "Cape Town porcupine!" ”

The Cape Town porcupine, also known as the South African porcupine, is the largest rodent in South Africa and the largest porcupine in the world.

Li Du was also in good spirits, he had never seen porcupines, only heard of their prestige, this thing was covered with long spikes, and its appearance was very strange.

Following Apodu's instructions, Li Du looked carefully, but saw nothing.

The lion hunter laughed, "Didn't find it out, did you?" Haha, only our good Zulu hunters can find their prey. ”

Unconvinced, Li Du released the small flying insects, and then soon he found the porcupine in the middle of the hill.

No wonder he had bad eyes, the porcupine was very camouflaged, lying in a pile of tall weeds, holding a potato-like thing with its front paws, and gnawing vigorously.

They encountered a large porcupine, seventy or eighty centimeters long, dark brown in the front half of its body, black in the back, on its back, rump and tail, with long, thick, straight spines that were black brown and white in color, and stood up like weeds, making it difficult to spot them from a distance.

Porcupine, also known as porcupine, is a pig full of needles and needles as the name suggests. But Li Du looked closely and found that it didn't look like a pig at all.

Not to mention that from its back to its tail, it is covered with spines like arrows that pigs do not have. Let's talk about its appearance, porcupines have fat bodies, sharp teeth, and a mouth and face that are more like rats, and they use their front teeth when they gnaw on things, just like rats eat.

After seeing the porcupine, Li Du was just about to take back the little flying insect, but the little flying insect flew to the side of the hill, and he found two people lying on his stomach in the weeds!

The weed-stained, dark-skinned, emaciated men, one with a bow and arrow, the other with a javelin, stared at the porcupine.

Apparently, they were native hunters of the African savannah, and the target was this porcupine.

Seeing this, Li Du smiled slightly, and said to the lion hunter: "The excellent hunters of the Zulu tribe are amazing, but my vision is also good, I saw the porcupine, and in addition, I also saw two hunters. ”

His words stunned the lion hunter and said, "Two hunters? ”

Li Du deliberately showed a surprised expression and asked, "You didn't find it?" ”

He pointed to where the two were hiding: "Look closely, it's there, they're eyeing this porcupine." ”

The lion hunter was suspicious, "Really? Man, you're not kidding, are you? ”

Apodu said: "Hazai. ”

Li Du asked, "Hazai? What do you mean? ”

The lion hunter said: "He confirmed your words, there are indeed people there, hunters of the Hazai tribe. ”

It dawned on Li Du that he had been learning about South Africa before, and had seen some information about the Hazai tribe.

This tribe is a purely primitive hunting tribe, which does not farm or engage in business, and hunts on the steppe for generations.

They are the Gypsies of Africa, but their migration route follows the animals, and the Hazai tribe originally belonged to Tanzania and Mozambique, but some also came to South Africa because of the border between Mozambique and South Africa.

Like other predominantly migratory peoples around the world, the Hazais were low-key and tolerant, so although they were invaders, the South Africans did not expel them.

However, they are outsiders after all, and most South Africans still dislike them very much, because they come here to compete with the locals for resources.

Knowing that the Hazais were preparing to ambush the porcupine, the lion hunter snorted coldly, raised his gun to the sky and pulled the trigger: "Bang! ”

The loud sound of gunfire frightened the wild birds and the porcupines as well.

The porcupine threw away the fruit that had been pressed under its paws and hurried into the depths of the weeds.

As soon as the shots rang out, the Hazai hunters knew they would not be able to ambush the porcupines and quickly attacked.

A javelin was fired, right in the porcupine's escape route.

In this way, the porcupine was frightened, so he was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then turned his head and ran away.

Just as it froze, another hunter fired an arrow, and the arrow struck the porcupine's back with a sharp thud.

It was a combined shot, and the purpose of the javelin was not to hunt the porcupine, but to scare it and buy time for the archers.

However, the bows and arrows used by the Hazai hunters were homemade, and the lethality was very mediocre, and the porcupine did not fall to the ground and die after being hit by the arrow, but dragged the arrow to continue to escape.

The hill was steep, and the porcupine rolled down in panic, and its body was fat enough to roll down the hillside.

After rolling down, it was not dead, and subconsciously got up and ran away, just running in the direction of Li Du and the others.
