It is not uncommon to encounter wolves in broad daylight at this time, and after a long cold winter of hunger and cold, all animals are weak, and the same is true of wolves.

Then there is spring is also the season of wolf cubs, if you hit a female wolf, it is equivalent to hitting multiple wolves, such as waiting for the female wolf to give birth, in order to raise the wolf cubs, the female wolf has to frantically find food, then the livestock can suffer.

At this time, the time to fight the wolf is just right, such as hitting the female wolf with cubs can easily reduce the number of wolf reproduction, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

But obviously Li Zhi is not interested in this, but it is also necessary to scare them away, after all, there are three ordinary people here.

The wolf is an animal with strong adaptability, heat tolerance and cold resistance, and its habitat range is very wide, including mountains, forest areas, grasslands, and deserts.

Moreover, they have a keen sense of smell, excellent hearing, extremely fast running speed, endurance, and can run for thirty or forty miles in one breath.

However, while being extremely cruel, he is also extremely stoic, calm, alert and intelligent, and he is more vigilant when he sees a group of humans like Li Zhi who are not like ordinary Orion costumes from afar.

So the moment Li Zhi stepped on the flying sword and swept straight towards them, he turned around and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

At first, the Taiping women didn't know that the wolves had come, but when they saw Li Zhi's abnormal behavior, and saw the beggar Chengzhu's solemn expression, after inquiring, they knew the inside story, but they finally realized the horror of the deep mountains and old forests.

At this time, most of the mountains were still covered with thick snow, and even those guards were powerless when they encountered wolves, after all, they were not ordinary soldiers, and there were few bows and crossbows at hand.

Taiping is rarely in a good mood, in order to dispel the fear in her heart, the beggar Chengzhu has the intention to find a topic to distract her attention: "In fact, fox hunting is not afraid of encountering wolves in the mountains, even bears and tigers!" ”

"Why?" This trick is really good, the beggar Seungsu has decades of hunting experience, and Taiping has always trusted him very much.

Tigers are the kings of the forest, they have sharp teeth and super physique, and if hunters and tigers go it alone, then it will definitely be a human loss.

But the tiger is also a very intelligent animal, knowing that humans are good at using the weapons in their hands, and this weapon is very threatening to it, even life-threatening, when they encounter hunters, they generally do not choose to have a head-on conflict.

Therefore, it is not only humans who are afraid of tigers, but also humans who have a strong deterrent power for tigers.

Then the bears are even more powerful, they can sense the existence of danger in advance, and the weapons in the hands of hunters are dangerous goods for bears, so they will not actively engage in any conflict with humans.

It will not fight back unless the actions of the hunters have threatened its life.

However, bears are very large and irritable, and hunters are still afraid of them.

Wild boars, especially boars, are feared the most, with their sharp tusks that they use to protect themselves when in danger.

Although the fangs of wild boars are not as powerful as tigers and lions, they can also cause severe trauma to humans, and although they are not fatal, they can be very painful.

Wild boars' brain circuits are not as tortuous as other animals, their tactics are brute, and they do not flinch and must win and lose before they give up, so at this time the hunters are more likely to suffer.

Hearing this, Princess Taiping nodded frequently, yesterday she had seen the power of that huge boar, although it was nothing in front of the cultivators of the Heyan Sect, but that kind of fierce rush that was not afraid of death was indeed very fierce and fierce.

Li Zhi rushed back at this time, and when he heard the exchange between the two, he thought about the whereabouts of Fu Chen and the others.

Speaking of Xiang Taiping, it aroused her great interest, as long as Li Zhi was by her side, she had nothing to fear, but she still didn't forget to ask for the opinions of Yurong and Fengxia.

Since she got acquainted with Li Zhi, the consciousness of the royal princess in her body has gradually weakened a lot, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the people around Li Zhi are more masters among cultivators.

came to the deep mountains and old forests to find fun, and experienced the wild fun that she had never tried before, and she was even more alive and well.

Seeing that the second daughter was not afraid, everyone decided to go to have a look, and it happened that the large army of Weilu was also ahead, and they also needed to follow.

It's just that before they could take a few steps forward, they saw Fu Chen and the others waving in the distance, and on the messy snow, there was a wild boar lying even bigger than yesterday.

In front of these masters, they disdained to use bows and arrows, and their interest was to hunt, and consciously did not hurt the whole cortex, so the head of the wild boar was in a miserable state.

Taiping, who should have been delicate, was not afraid at the moment, and squeezed forward with great interest to watch, and tried to pull up a pork leg to try the portion.

He was helped by Sasher, a former Muslim who had now converted to the Dharma, and although he still did not eat any of these meats, he no longer had the psychological barrier to participating in the hunt.

"If we hadn't encountered the bark halfway, we would have gone a little deeper, there is their nest!" Third Elder Yu Jun said with a smile.

"Hit the bark?" Taiping looked curious, and the beggar next to him, Seung-so, explained to her.

There is no blind hunting everywhere, where there will be any prey, the local hunters all know the rough, so there is always a first come, right?

Can't you come here, I'm here too, everyone grabs prey together, looks fair, in fact, it's easiest to make enemies, there are guys in their hands, and they are villagers, and it's embarrassing to turn their faces and meet together in the future.

If you make trouble again, it will be even less worthless, and besides, if you can't shoot much prey like this, it is a matter that is harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself.

Therefore, the person who first goes to a certain hunting ground will do one thing called "beating the bark".

It is to mark the path that is often walked, cut a piece of bark, roll it into a roll, get stuck on the tree on the side of the road, and then insert wildflowers.

This wildflower is not planted casually, it is used to indicate the direction, and the Northeast Orion has a hunting method of ambush, called "rushing to war", which is to set up an ambush circle somewhere outside the hunting ground.

When a man enters the hunting ground, the hound barks, the man shouts, scares the prey out, and rushes towards the ambush circle, and this wild flower is inserted in the bark roll, which means to drive the prey out from the inside.

If it is inserted outside, it means that the prey is driven from the outside in.

If it is inserted in the middle, it is necessary to chase from both sides of the road, and in the middle is the direction of the beast's escape, so that the hunter who comes after him can be told to be careful not to be hurt by the beast.

When "hunting bark", many people will also add different markings, for example, some people like azaleas, some people like honeysuckle, and the hunting team that knows each other well, as long as they look at the marks on the bark, they can recognize who is hunting in front of them, and even know what the hunting methods and habits of the other party are about.

In addition, after seeing the "bark of the tree", I will also pay attention to my feet, because in addition to guns and bows and arrows can hurt people, there are also people who will set traps in the hunting ground, which is more common, a kind of thing called "ground arrow", also called "ground gun".

To put it simply, it is to bury the crossbow arrow under a tree or bush, which is extremely difficult to find, connect it to the crossbow machine with a tripwire, cross the "road" where wild beasts often walk, leaving footprints, and then hide the thread with leaves and blades of grass.

Large beasts, such as wild boars, deer, and roe deer, will shoot crossbow arrows within two or three meters, which can kill beasts and people.

If there is a beast trap, people will be injured when they touch it, and it is not a joke that the barren mountains and mountains are called every day, and the earth is not spiritual.

Don't look at the Heyan Sect as a cultivator, when you enter this mountainous area to hunt, you also need to abide by the rules of the hunters, which is also the least kind of respect.

Taiping seemed to like listening to this, and felt that it was not much worse than trying to hunt himself: "It's really a lot more exquisite, but there are no outsiders at the moment, so it won't be someone who uses these to occupy an area, right?" ”

Yan Yongchun said with a smile: "This is not true, and the bark is not only used at that time, there may be ten days and a half months, because of the laying of some offensive traps, it is not sure when there will be prey encountered!" ”

"There is also a situation, that is, a little explored in advance, there is a nest of raccoon dogs, foxes deep holes, if they are not hungry in winter, they will not easily come out to forage, which needs to be set up in advance and wait!" Beggar Seung-so said on the side.

"There's so much to say inside!" Taiping pouted, and the strangeness was stronger.

The beggar Seung-su is a talker, and when he talks about it, he talks endlessly:

"There are many rules among the hunters, like our pimple, the day of hunting is not on the seventh day, and the seventh, seventeenth, and twenty-seventh day of the first month of the month are not allowed to go out to hunt; Do not tell anyone about the direction and place of the hunt, even relatives are no exception, because the hunter believes that wild beasts have the ability to predict things in advance; Before setting out, one must bow to the mountain god devoutly; During the hunting, when you encounter other temples, you must bow down one by one, and you must not pass by; When talking to unrelated people, you can't talk about how many beasts you plan to fight, or what kind of beasts you want to fight; Do not sing, do not make noise, and do not speak loudly; Do not hit the female animal in the spring, because spring is the breeding season, and do not fight the male animal in the autumn, because it is a cop. Season of matching, and so on. ”

Rules like this are not unique to the Northeast, even in remote villages where they follow a similar rule when hunting.

The locals had drawn a hunting route in advance, set traps there, and marked them, so that people from the same village, as well as those in the vicinity, would avoid it when they saw it.

There is no official proof of this, there is no legal document, it is all based on self-consciousness, and there are rules formed over hundreds of years, no matter how difficult, do not take ill-gotten gains.

Yan Yongchun added with a smile: "The people here are very enthusiastic and kind, and they still inherit and abide by a traditional rule - those who come have a share!" Whether you know it or not, as long as you run up and run, or when you get prey on the way, the hunter must give you a part. If you can't take it with you, invite you to your home for a few drinks. If you insist on disobeying, you will displease your master. ”

"Actually, that's one of the reasons I love it here! For example, in the tribe of the Seungsu patriarch before, I enjoyed the enthusiasm there, they are not good at disguise, adults and children are very real and sincere to the guests! Taiping said.

The beggar Chengzhu shook his head and said: "There are bad people everywhere, such as some Khitans, who often come to us to find trouble, and often rely on the strength of the crowd, and the means they use are even more insidious. If they take a fancy to that mountainous area, they will dig around some Hades cellars, knowing that this is a hunting method that even the authorities prohibit! The method is relatively simple, that is, dig a pit in the ground, the pit is full of vertical sharp wood, this trap is used to catch large prey, such as wild boars, etc., once you fall in, you will definitely die, it is because of his greater lethality, strong concealment, often hurt people, so it is forbidden to use this hunting method. ”

Taiping said angrily: "How can there be these shameless people, it is an unforgivable crime to forcibly occupy the hunting ground on which others depend, and they still come up with such bad methods!" ”

Beggar Chengzhu smiled: "But in our hundreds of miles of mountains and forests, there have been a lot fewer in recent years, just because of the arrival of the Heyan Sect!" ”
