Chapter 10 Efficient Hunting

One, two, three......

In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

Xiong Batian was a little surprised to find that Xiong Xiaobao, a guy who usually seems too lazy to fight with the little pig, actually performed very well.

Not only did he keep up with his pace, but he even looked relaxed.

Compared with him, Xiong Dabao's performance is a bit 'ordinary', except for the thunderous exercise and cultivation in the morning and evening, there is nothing too eye-catching in other places.

Due to the reason of hurrying, this week, most of the food every day is moss and some plants, and occasionally there is a little meat that Xiong Batian hunts, so including Xiong Batian himself, this week is just barely keeping himself from starving.

Another two days passed.

Xiong Batian's extremely sensitive nose twitched slightly, catching some special breaths in the air.

"You find a place to hide first, and I'll go get some food with your mother!"

He yelled at Xiong Dabao and Xiong Xiaobao who were following him, and then ran quickly with 'Rong'er' along a certain smell in the air.

After they left, Xiong Dabao and Xiong Xiaobao did not panic like the other cubs, but very calmly found a hole under the big rock and hid in it.

On the other side, Xiong Batian and 'Rong'er' followed the smell wafting in the air, galloping all the way, and after seven or eight minutes, they finally found their goal...... A herd of elk.

The elk, also known as the 'four dislikes', is named because it has a head and face like a horse, horns like a deer, hooves like an ox, and a tail like a donkey.

The body length is 170 to 217 cm, the tail length is 60-75 cm, the height of the male is 122-137 cm at the withers, and the female is 70-75 m cm, and the body is slightly smaller than the male.

The average elk weighs 120-180 kilograms, and the adult male elk can weigh up to 250 kilograms, as long as Xiong Batian can catch one, it is enough for him and his two bear cubs to enjoy Meimei for a day or two.

However, these guys are very cautious and will run wild whenever there is a little wind in the grass.

In terms of speed, the average brown bear has a top speed of about 50 kilometers per hour, but the outbreak is slower. Elk, which can travel at speeds of more than 70 kilometers per hour, are extremely strong.

Under normal circumstances, brown bears rarely hunt actively, their main food is actually a variety of plants, young grasses, berries, which account for more than 60% of their diet, and even most of the meat is to rob other predators of prey, or directly eat some residual animal carcasses!

But Xiong Batian is different.

With a human soul, he can accept that he usually searches for berries and young grass for dessert, but he can't do it when he is asked to eat grass most of the time, or eat rotting corpses.

Of course, he didn't need to do that, after more than ten years of hard training, he was slightly faster than an elk, more than seventy kilometers per hour, and if he wanted to, he could even chase a prey like an elk alive.

You know, although brown bears look bulky, their endurance is first-class, and they can run wild at high speed for a long time, unlike large predators like ligres, and they are okay to burst out at short distances, but they can't last long at all.

Xiong Batian, as the 'outlier' and leader of brown bears, has strong explosiveness, and his endurance is far beyond that of ordinary brown bears, plus he has the wisdom and resourcefulness of humans, and his hunting success rate is as high as more than seventy percent.

Of course, instead of taking time and effort to hunt such large prey at the risk of failure, Xiong Batian still prefers to catch fish, which is simple and practical, and efficient.

But now, there was no suitable fishing spot in this place, so he had to target large prey like elk.

With 'Rong'er' on the side, as long as there are no accidents, the success rate of this hunt is as high as more than ninety!

This group of elk, consisting of a male leader, five adult females, and two newborn cubs, has a clear division of labor, some of them are eating, and the other raises their heads to observe and watch, very vigilant.

However, it was not the first time Xiong Batian had hunted these guys, and 'Rong'er' had cooperated with him not once or twice, so he was not worried at all.

The two big guys cautiously sneaked downwind, one left and one right, using the dense grass and small trees to hide their figures, and slowly approached the elk herd, very patient.

It took more than twenty minutes, and they finally narrowed the distance between each other to less than fifty meters in an almost 'wriggling' manner.

This distance, combined with the strong explosive power and speed of Shangxiong Batian, as long as there are no accidents, it can basically be said that it is nine out of ten.

However, Xiong Batian did not act directly, he was waiting.

Roar~

About two or three minutes later, the 'Rong'er' on the other side, who had completed the positioning, suddenly burst out and let out a furious roar.

The herd of elk, who were enjoying the delicious food, were suddenly frightened and scattered, and fled quickly, in the direction of Xiong Batian.

"Good!"

Xiong Batian narrowed his eyes slightly, the muscles of his limbs tensed and accumulated, and when the elk herd was less than ten meters close to him, it was like a golden arrow, and he jumped out of the hiding place with a brush, his thick limbs moved rapidly, and his golden hair fluttered in the wind.

Xiong Batian's goal is very clear, locking on to a female elk that is obviously aging, and ignoring the others, even closer.

After countless hunts, he has already made a basic principle, that is, you must not be half-hearted, because in the pursuit, even if you are only distracted for a moment, it is very likely to lead to the failure of the hunt.

This is the valuable experience that Xiong Batian summed up after hunting again and again.

Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~

The huge body made every time Xiong Batian landed, it would bring a dull sound, and at the same time, it also brought more panic and pressure to those elks, so that they didn't dare to think about anything else, so they changed their direction and prepared to continue to escape.

However, the distance between the two was too close, and Xiong Batian's speed was no less than them, and it only took a few breaths for Xiong Batian to catch up with the locked elk.

There was no superfluous movement, but the right paw slapped violently on the opponent's hind legs, and the running elk was immediately slapped to the ground by him, and under the action of inertia, it turned out ten meters away.

Xiong Batian chased after him in a few steps, and his bloody mouth opened, accurately locking its throat, and the sharp canine teeth easily penetrated its throat.

After a few violent shakes and tears of his head, accompanied by a seeping sound of bones breaking, the elk, which was already not young, slowly stiffened.

If this scene is seen by humans, it is estimated that they will be shocked again.

You must know that brown bears are not like cats like tigers when hunting, they are good at killing with one blow, and they use their huge body and strength more to slowly 'play' the prey to death.

In many records of brown bear hunting, many prey are not directly bitten to death by brown bears, but are slowly consumed because they are too injured and bleed too much.

Some of the prey is still alive, but the brown bear has already begun to 'eat'.

An ambush attack like the one now, and then directly lock the throat and kill the move, ordinary brown bears can't do it at all!

But, Xiong Batian did it, and he was extremely skilled!

Through the information fed back by the blood in his mouth, Xiong Batian made sure that the prey had no heartbeat, and then let go of his mouth.

At this time, 'Rong'er' had also come to his side, rubbing his chin and body with his head to express the excitement and excitement of the successful hunt.
