Chapter 1 Wolves' Mouths for Food
Soon after the onset of winter, the first snow arrives and coats the earth with a white veil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The deer, wandering in the snow, hurriedly gnawing on the withered grass that protrudes from the snow, and occasionally looking up at their surroundings...... Urgent and vigilant!
"It seems that this snow came too early and too suddenly, and even the animals were caught off guard......"
In the recess of the distant mountain, the dead leaves under the snow layer are slightly upturned, and a pair of dark and shining eyes are hidden in them, quietly watching the deer's every move.
"It's a good thing I got up early today and reacted quickly, otherwise this snow would have cut me off!"
Wild beasts usually have a super sensitive premonition of natural disasters, and if even the wild beasts fail to predict the heavy snow, whether it is a beast that comes out in a hurry to forage for food, or a teenager who comes in a hurry, it is tantamount to a catastrophe!
In a way, he is not much different from these beasts who have eaten the last meal but not the next......
Fortunately, whether it is a beast or a he, they have all caught up!
In the pit, Lei Zhe carefully put down the snow-covered cover woven by branches and dead leaves, and subconsciously touched the rope around his waist and the short knife behind his back.
The stiffness of his fingers told him that he had been in the nest for two hours.
That's four hours!
Before dawn, he was awakened by the slight rustle of snow in his deep sleep, and even if he was unwilling, he could only hurry out, and rushed here in the dark, and jumped into the pit, covered the cover, and waited patiently in the biting cold for the snow to completely bury his footprints and the pit......
At that time, the rest of the teenagers in the tribe were still sleeping soundly in the warm bed!
This trap was originally intended for a family of four wild boars who used to pass by here and go to the stream in front of them to drink...... Lei Zhe has been paying attention to them for a long time, and he is even more determined to get them, serving as rations for the next ten days and a half months.
But the sudden heavy snowfall apparently saved the family of four from coming to drink water and saved their lives.
On the contrary, Lei Zhe, who was disrupted by his plan, had to adapt to the situation and find another way to make a living, and had to come here early in the morning to wait......
It's been two hours, and it's almost noon at this time, and the rest of the teenagers are probably eating lunch around the fire!
The loneliness and hardship of self-reliance may be unbearable for the rest of his peers, but for Lei Zhe, "It's like going all the way to work in other places, just get used to it!" ā
"Besides, this job now has a very good flavor of special forces and snipers...... It's a pity that the style of painting is wrong! ā
Lei Zhe's gaze swept over the rough rope, the simple hilt, and the shabby sheepskin jacket in his hand, and he muttered secretly in his heart.
Once I concentrated my mind and meditated on myself, I felt that my original warm and bulging state had dropped by half in a morning, like a balloon full of hot air that was slowly deflated for a long time, and its body size shrank several times...... Moreover, as time goes on, the size of the hot air balloon continues to shrink at a uniform rate, and in about an hour and a half, it will completely shrink to the lower abdomen where only the core remains.
After that, the countdown to freezing to death will begin!
But Lei Zhe did not rush to lift his camouflage and jump out to attack the deer, but hugged his shoulders and curled up like a hibernating snake, trying to slow down the flow of "hot air".
Qualified hunters must not lack patience, otherwise, in the unpredictable hunting grounds of nature, the transformation from hunter to prey is often only in an instant!
Lei Zhe knows that the "hot air" that supports him to resist the cold is actually the essence of the body, which is the so-called life energy; And the lower abdomen where the core of the essence is located is the so-called lower dantian in the legend.
Although ordinary people can feel the loss of their own energy when resisting the cold, they are vague, and they don't know how much they have lost or how much they have left, and it is impossible to have such an accurate subjective feeling as Lei Zhe.
This is the wonderful result of his years of hard cultivation - if you want to refine your qi, you must first feel it...... Qi sense is the only way to refine true qi, and it is difficult to leave it in the hands of others, except for persistent cumulative training, there is no shortcut!
The invisible killing machine is quietly approaching......
In the snow, the sturdy stag began to neigh uneasily, and the atmosphere of the deer herd became panicked.
"Sure enough!"
Lei Zhe muttered imperceptibly, secretly glad that he had not been impulsive before, and at the same time, his gaze squeezed out of the gap in the snow bushes and threw himself on another group of creatures that were slowly surrounding the deer herd from all directions.
Where there are large groups of prey, there are them!
Murderous and bloodthirsty eyes, straight and straight pointed ears, streamlined and slender body, vigorous and light limbs, tail hanging slanting in the wind, white fangs when opening the mouth wide, gray, yellow and black mixed fur all over......
Everything is clear about their identity as a wilderness killer!
"From the same family, the dog is so faithful and cute, why are the wolves so cunning and hateful......"
Lei Zhe touched his ass ** and gritted his teeth for a while - there were two dark tooth marks left there, which was a lesson he would never forget.
"The show is about to begin......
After a brief panic, the herd, led by several stags, galloped wildly into the wilderness.
The wolves accelerated unhurriedly, and the soldiers were divided into three groups, two of which were sandwiched on both sides of the deer and ran wildly, and the other followed the deer......
The arrogance and self-confidence that overflowed from his bones, although it was not the first time Lei Zhe had seen it, he still felt pleasing to the eye and praised it.
"Wai Sanque one? Boy...... will use the art of war! ā
Seeing the deer and wolves running diagonally and farther away, they turned into a small black spot on the vast snow in the blink of an eye......
Lei Zhe's palm holding the rope secretly pinched a sweat, if they were gone and never returned, then he would be beaten with chickens and eggs, and he would be frozen for most of the day in vain.
Fortunately, the cunning of the wolves never let him down - during the run, the wolves on the left kept approaching the deer, while the wolves on the right kept a proper distance from the deer...... The animal's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm prompts the deer herd to blindly avoid to the right, so that the running route cannot help but deviate to the right.
The chasing and fleeing sides drew a large irregular circle in a clockwise direction on the snow, and actually ran back towards the starting place, rushing more than twenty steps in front of Lei Zhe's hiding place.
The sound of hooves is noisy, and the snow is kicked up all over the sky......
"One lap...... Two laps...... Three laps ......"
Lei Zhe's lips moved lightly, silently counting the number of circles that the wolves had driven away the deer, and each time he seized the opportunity to glance at the tall and sturdy stag, only scanning back and forth between the female and the fawn, carefully selecting the target...... That's also the main goal of the deer herd!
In other words, Lei Zhe is snatching food from the wolf's mouth, and if he is not careful, he is very likely to die with those deer.
Running down in a circle, whether it is a group of deer or a group of wolves, the difference in individual physical strength is gradually manifested, the bucks with bifurcated horns are still the first to lead, and even faintly have the momentum of breaking away from the semi-encirclement of the wolves, while the female deer and fawn with inferior physical strength and running speed appear from time to time to lag behind and fall into the kiss of the wolf that chases the tightest;
In the same way, there are also wolves that can't resist greed and blindly pounce on the deer, kick the powerful deer hooves, and suddenly fall backwards, either dead or maimed......
Nature's survival of the fittest is brutal, and strength and skill are the direct embodiment of the odds of survival!
Lei Zhe thought for a moment and muttered to himself, "No wonder some old hunters say that as long as the deer runs faster than the wolf and leopard, it can survive...... There are also old hunters who say that as long as the deer runs one line faster than most of their companions, they can survive! ā
"Five laps ......"
Lei Zhe took a deep breath and slowly exhaled - the stag with its horns and horns had slipped away, and similarly, the most ferocious and cunning group of hungry wolves led by the wolf king had also successfully retreated, each choosing one place to enjoy the delicious blood food they had hunted, while the wolves and deer who were still chasing and fleeing were of medium to low physique, and after intense consumption, their running speed was far less than at the beginning......
The hunt is coming to an end!
"Three hundred steps...... Two hundred steps...... One hundred steps ......"
Lei Zhe nervously estimated the distance between his prey and his rivals, carrying the rope in his left arm and holding the snap ring at the front of the rope in his right hand.
"Fifty steps!"
Lei Zhe snorted, suddenly lifted the dead leaves and snow bushes that covered the pit, rushed towards the deer and wolves, and shook the ring with his right hand.
The pursuers were startled by the unexpected intruder in the stabbing stab, and instinctively turned to avoid it, but the strong inertia of the rush brought them closer to Lei Zhe a lot.
At this moment, Lei Zhe, who kept walking, exhaled: "Thirty steps!" With a wave of his hand, he decisively threw the rope ferrule.
With a whistling sound, the ferrule and rope crossed the flat parabola in the air to reach into the periphery of the deer, and accurately lassoed the neck of a female deer......
