Chapter 44: Mercenaries
At dawn in the morning, Luo Hao opened his eyes, put away the blanket covering his body, looked at Yunxi, who was still sleeping on the haystack, and softly lifted his backpack and walked out of the cave. The food he had collected had been eaten, and he needed to prepare new food.
The wolf's senses were very keen, and he noticed that there was movement in the cave, and the teeth that were originally lying beside Yun Xi immediately stood up from the haystack, and found that the figure walking in the cave was Luo Hao, who was carrying a backpack and was about to go out.
"Do you want to go out with you too?" Luo Hao picked up his teeth and put them on his shoulder, patted its little head, and said, "But it's okay, you are not allowed to run around after you go out." ”
"Woo......" teeth rubbed Luo Hao's cheek with his head, urging him to hurry up.
The place where Luo Hao was looking for food was not far from the cave, so that if something happened to Yun Xi, he could also return in the shortest possible time.
Wolves usually follow the she-wolf out to hunt when they are three to four months old, so only a little more than a month old tooth has never gone out hunting with a white wolf before. The first time he went out hunting with Luo Hao, Ya seemed very excited, full of curiosity about everything, and even the wild fruits that grew on the trees would touch them with their claws.
The wolf is a typical carnivore, but the teeth are not the same as other wolves, it prefers to eat roasted hares to raw meat, Luo Hao tried to pluck a wild fruit from the fruit tree, and it actually used its two front paws to hold and gnaw with relish. This made Luo Hao can't help but be a little suspicious, he meows, is this still a wolf known as the king of the jungle?
At this moment, a gray hare poked its head out of the grass, and its eyes widened and vigilantly observed the surrounding situation. The appearance of the hare immediately attracted the attention of Fang, who let go of the half-eaten fruit and went after the hare hiding in the grass.
Tooth has no experience in hunting, and does not know how to hunt when it should first lurk and approach and then attack quickly, and its rash pursuit allows the frightened hare to flee directly.
The hares in the mountains are very cunning, they not only run in a straight line, but also jump left and right, running and running, and suddenly they drift sideways, and disappear into the bushes next to them. Therefore, when those experienced hunters go into the mountains to hunt, they will not go to a thankless time to chase the hare jumping around, they will make a simple trap, put a wild fruit as bait, and wait for the hare to take the bait itself.
"You naughty little one!" Luo Hao scolded secretly and hurriedly followed. When it grows up, Fang will inevitably be the king of the jungle, but it's still too small to be a bad one if it comes across a trap left behind by a poacher.
The hare runs very fast, but the teeth that have inherited the excellent blood of the mother are not weak, although it is still only a young wolf, and the limbs are relatively short, but the speed of running is not slow, and there is a tendency to catch up with the hare when running in a straight line.
The hare, who was running wildly all the way in front, saw that he couldn't shake off the teeth that were chasing after him, and suddenly his body froze, and he staged a wonderful instantaneous drift, and ran towards the bushes next to him.
Seeing that the prey in his hand ran away like this, his teeth suddenly became anxious, and he howled at the hare. The hare had just escaped and had no time to rejoice, when a wild wolf howl behind it suddenly frightened it into a panic, and hit its head on the trunk of a big tree, breaking its neck bone and burping directly.
Seeing the hare, who was originally running away, suddenly died on the trunk of the tree, as the initiator of the matter, the tooth himself was dumbfounded, ran over and sniffed the hare with his nose first, and then used his claws to flick the hare's corpse back and forth a few times, confirming that the rabbit was dead before running to Luo Hao's feet, rubbing his trouser leg to ask him for credit.
Luo Hao, who has been chasing after the teeth, watching this dramatic scene, is also stupid, could it be that this is how the idiom of waiting for the rabbit comes from?
Luo Hao squatted down, picked up his teeth and put them on his shoulder, and patted its little furry head with his hand, "Let you not run around and be disobedient, and punish you for not having meat to eat today!" ”
"Whew......" Tooth let out a pitiful low howl, rubbing his head against Luo Hao's cheek to show weakness to him.
"But for your sake, forget it this time, and next time, you can obediently gnaw wild fruits." Luo Hao took out a small piece of beef in sauce and sent it to Ya's mouth.
After eating the sauce beef, the teeth obediently lay on Luo Hao's shoulder and didn't dare to run around, for it, although the wild fruit is novel, it can't be compared with the delicious sauce beef after all.
Luo Hao put the dead hare into his backpack and continued to look for other food, his eyes kept looking at the position of the trunk and treetops, hoping to harvest a three- or four-foot-long "duck neck", or find a bird's nest and take out a few eggs from it.
As soon as he put a few non-poisonous wild mushrooms into his backpack, Luo Hao keenly sensed that someone was walking in his direction. Although he didn't know how much area Zhao Shuai had divided due to this "Soul Gate" test, Luo Hao was sure that the valley that he and Yun Xi accidentally fell into was definitely not within the scope of the "Soul Gate" test.
So now it was only poachers or local hunters who were walking towards him, but no matter which of the two, it was not what Luo Hao wanted to provoke, and the teeth on his shoulders were enough to arouse their greed.
Luo Hao bowed and slowly retreated into a bush, lying on the ground without moving, although the camouflage uniform on his body was not the combat camouflage uniform used in jungle operations, but a drill into the bushes could still have a basic camouflage effect. As for the snow-white teeth all over his body, Luo Hao casually pulled some green branches and leaves to cover it, and motioned for it to lie down obediently and not move.
What appeared in Luo Hao's and Ya's sight was an Asian man with a height of about 175 cm and a height of about 180 cm, with obvious East Asian characteristics. They wore the Atacs-FG camouflage uniforms newly developed by the U.S. military for jungle warfare, black 511 combat boots on their feet, a four-color jungle camouflage baseball cap on their heads, and white air duct headsets on their ears.
The man walking in front was armed with an M4A1 fully automatic rifle equipped with a Picatinny rail, holographic scope, M203 grenade launcher, foregrip, tactical flashlight and silencer, a combat saber with a total length of 32 cm and a weight of 1.2 kilograms, which was attached diagonally to his tactical vest at a 45-degree angle, and his tactical belt even had three American-made M68 grenades and a smoke grenade hanging from his tactical belt!
This kind of equipment advanced enough to throw off the 10,086 streets of poaching groups will definitely not be ordinary poachers, but they do not have armbands on their arms to identify them, are they mercenaries who secretly cross the border?
