Chapter 429: Life hangs by a thread
"Slow breathing, lean forward, press the ground with your hind legs, aim, and pull the trigger ......lightly," Hong Tao put the scope of his rifle around the base of the lion's ear, and then silently recited in his mind the important steps that Pavi had taught him to shoot. The reason why it is necessary to aim at the root of the ear instead of the door of the brain, as long as the integrity of the lion's skin is taken into account, only by hitting the root of the ear can it no longer leave a wound on the skin and can be killed with one shot.
"Bang......!" A slightly dull gunshot rang out in the grassland, and the male lion lying under the big tree was pushed directly from the root of the tree by the strong impact, and rolled to the other side of the root, only half of his body was exposed, still motionless, but the tail was no longer shaking.
"Pretty, you're a genius, dumplings!" The Dutch pee, who had been standing beside Hong Tao holding a gun and preparing to replenish the gun, slapped Hong Tao on the back and almost slapped Hong Tao on the back.
"Rush, !!" Hong Tao didn't care whether the Dutch were taking advantage of him or not, he rushed out of the city with a gun in one hand, used all his strength on his legs and feet, and launched a 100-meter sprint towards the big tree.
"Come back! Dumplings! Dangerous! Holland didn't expect Hong Tao to have such a large physical reserve to run so fast, and after reacting, he had already rushed out of the city, so he could only shout loudly in the back.
"Danger, your grandmother! Lao Tzu is a sharpshooter! Hong Tao's brain had been short-circuited at this time, and he couldn't listen to any warnings at all.
Although Hong Tao tried his best, he was not the first to reach under the tree, and he didn't even win the second place. The first to arrive was the Marseille red-clad warrior, who was like a red light, surpassing Hong Tao in a few jumps; The second one to arrive was Wei Han who was carrying a camera, Hong Tao couldn't figure it out, Nima, you cameraman ran so fast to dry your hair!
The male lion lay peacefully on his side under the tree. If you don't look closely, you won't notice the wisp of blood coming out of the mane. Hong Tao's shot was very accurate, directly entering parallel from the male lion's ear, and the bullet lost its balance after passing through the hard skull, like a crusher, directly crushing the male lion's brain, and then stayed in the skull, leaving no wound on the other side.
"Dumplings, although you shot perfectly, I still have to criticize you. Don't rush to your prey, even if you confirm that it has been killed, then we must confirm it before we can get closer, this is our working principle, you must abide by it! "Holland urinated a few steps slower than Hong Tao before running under the big tree. He didn't even breathe, and began to educate Hong Tao with a straight face.
“OK! The next is not an example. Be sure to pay attention in the future! I promise! Hong Tao is not disgusted by the seriousness of urinating in the Netherlands. It's people's job, and the purpose is to ensure the safety of customers, and no one wants a pleasant hunt to turn into a tragedy.
"Well, let's not take an example, remember, there's more danger than just visible here. The most dangerous ones are those that you can't see, and you look over your head. Hearing Hong Tao's answer, Holland softened his attitude a little, and then pointed to the top of Hong Tao's head.
"I'm X!" Hong Tao raised his head and looked up. Goosebumps immediately arose all over his body, and on a trunk above his head was a Maasai spear, and on the tip of the spear was a gray snake, which was not yet completely dead, and was twitching its body and coiling the spear several times.
"It's a poisonous snake!?" Hong Tao glanced at the Maasai warrior gratefully, he only paid attention to the dead lion, so that it was not clear when the spear was inserted, and Wei Han, who was running stupidly with him, was also dumbfounded at this time, and asked embarrassedly.
"This is the most venomous snake in Africa, the black tree cobra, you may not be familiar with this name, it also has another name, called the black mamba snake, you see its mouth, it is all black." Holland pointed to the snake on the trunk.
"I've heard the name, it's so hanging, how can I thank that Maasai warrior? What is the right gift for them? As soon as Hong Tao heard this name, a layer of cold sweat came out again, although he had never seen this kind of snake before, but the animal world had seen it, this thing was said to be fast, as long as it attacked, generally no animals and people could dodge. The most terrifying thing is its venom, that thing is the most poisonous neurotoxin in the world, it is said that after being bitten by it, its mouth has not been released, and the bitten animal has already died.
"It's the best gift for you to give them less trouble, you are already a friend of their village, they won't accept your gift alone, unless you have a very strong reason, I'm really jealous of your good luck, you know, I've been in this grassland for many years, and it's the first time I've been invited to be a guest in the village of Marseille, if I have these friends, my hunting guide work can be easier!" Holland finally told the truth, he was envious and jealous, as if he hadn't hated yet!
"Aren't we going to the village of Marseille together? Don't they treat you as a friend? Hong Tao felt a little surprised, whether it is China, Europe or the United States, aren't they all friends who come with friends? Anyway, it's the first time we've met, so who is lighter and who is heavier?
"If only it were good, they think we are all your followers, and they will only recognize whoever the stick is for, and those guys in red sheets are dead-eyed!" Holland urinated about this matter with great resentment, he was the one who came forward to deal with the vehicle breakdown, Hong Tao just said a few nonsense, but in the end the credit went to his head, and it was useless for him to take this credit.
"Ha Lu Ha Ha Hong Tao loves to see the unlucky appearance of others, and when he saw the expression of the Dutch pee, he forgot about the fact that he almost lost his life by a snake bite just now, and wasted half a day of strength, and finally translated this Chinese proverb to the Dutch pee.
“Fxxx!” Sure enough, the Dutch pee made Hong Tao so angry that even swear words came out, if Hong Tao was not his client or his sister's landlord, he really wanted to go up and punch this proud broken face.
"Oops! Ah! Lao Wei, don't be busy taking pictures of that broken snake first, come on, pat your brother, Hong Tao, give me your gun, I'll make a pose! The fat boss didn't know when he touched it, and at this time he didn't look like he could walk at all, and he was washing his face with mineral water, and posing with a gun, and he was very busy.
"You have removed your feet from the lion's head for me, and you have trampled on the hair, and you have compensated me! I'm going to stomp on my ass! Boss Liu deliberately stood a little farther away, probably thinking about where this lion skin was placed at home, and when he saw the fat boss stepping on the lion's head to take pictures, he immediately rushed over and pulled the fat boss away.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, I'll take a picture, who takes a photo of stepping on the lion's buttocks, I'm stepping on it, it's not hard to step on it, Lao Wei, hurry up, come and get a few!" The fat boss Lai Pilai came back with a face, coaxed Boss Liu aside, and continued to raise one foot to step on the lion's head, but this posture was a bit awkward, not like stepping on something, but like a golden rooster independence.
After asking Boss Liu's requirements, Hoffman, the hunting guide, found two black staff members, and quickly peeled off the lion's skin, leaving only the huge lion head still attached to the skin, and the only damage was the four lion feet.
In view of the very good luck of the day, several hunting guides discussed it, and consulted the Maasai warrior, and finally decided not to return to the camp to rest, and sent someone back to drive the buggy, set up a simple tent under this big tree, make do with lunch, and then continue to track the next target: the white rhinoceros.
