Chapter 153: Glacier Hunting
Husky is a kind of dog that Wang Xika likes very much.
In fact, Wang Xika likes dogs very much, and always feels that dogs are spiritual creatures and are good friends of human beings.
How can there be a bunch of huskies in this icy place?
Yes, the husky's hometown is the North Pole, and people raised sleds in the first place. Did you meet an Eskimo sled team?
Wang Xijia thought he would meet the Eskimos, but as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but ice in the vast ice field, and there were no sleigh marks on the ground - where did these huskies come from?
Ah, yes, these are not huskies, but Arctic wolves! Huskies are domesticated from arctic wolves, and they look like wolves. Wang Xijia was confused because he had only been exposed to huskies and not Arctic wolves in later life.
There were about 30 wolves in the pack, and they all looked like they were foraging for food. I saw that Lang Nado and Tengu didn't say a word, and they bit the strongest wolf in the pack.
The wolf king was obviously very experienced, and he faced the two of them in a half-crouching position, and then retreated to the center of the circle to fight. This is the classic wolf king fighting technique, which is more than enough to deal with the average canine.
It's a pity that Langnado and Tengu are not ordinary canines. The two cooperated tacitly, one bit his neck and the other bit his stomach, and only one of them was defeated by the wolf king.
By the time Wang Xijia caught up, the two had already tamed the group of arctic wolves into obedient huskies. As canines, Lang Nado and Tengu are obviously very experienced in dealing with wolves: they rush up and take out the wolf king, and they become the new wolf king.
Both Lang Nado and Tengu speak the language of canines, and the two have a heated exchange with the wolves. But because outsiders can't understand the language of dogs, it looks like everyone is barking.
"What are these friends talking about?" Wang Xika walked up to Lang Naduo and asked him to translate for the translator.
"They said there were dangerous animals in the north, so don't go north, go south. Lang Naduo instantly transformed into human language and chatted with Wang Xijia.
"Well, we're just going to look for dangerous animals. "Wang Xijia's trip was originally to hunt. There are no dinosaurs in this place, and the so-called dangerous animals are probably polar bears, which happen to be called to make leather clothes.
"They said that the animal in front of them was not a bear, but another very dangerous animal. Shall we go further?" the tengu looked worried after communicating with the Arctic wolves / for a while.
"Hah! Of course we go forward! We are the most dangerous animals on this planet!" Wang Xika raised the AK47 in his hand.
Indeed, there have been many dangerous predators on the amazing planet Earth, and the most dangerous of them are humans who have mastered tools. Since the advent of humans, all other animals have become prey for humans.
The wolves seemed to want to stop Wang Xijia and his group from continuing north, whimpering, and Lang Naduo waved them away. He has known Wang Xika for a long time, and believes that Wang Xika can defeat no matter what kind of opponent he encounters.
As the group continued to walk forward, they suddenly felt the earth tremble slightly, followed by a hissing sound. A herd of mammoths appeared in front of me, about twenty or thirty of them. The elephant herd ran towards Wang Xijia, as if to avoid something.
The Arctic mammoths were even bigger than they had ever seen in the Maoren tribe at that time, and they ran more spectacularly.
"Ha! yes, of course the wolves only have to run when they see the mammoth!" Wang Xijia said excitedly, pointing at the mammoth. In fact, the mammoth is also covered with thick fur, which must be very warm when used to make leather clothing.
But somehow, Wang Xika always couldn't bear to hunt mammoths. In his mind, the mammoth was a very precious, extinct animal. Although there were many mammoths in this era, this impression was too deep to be reluctant to hunt.
Just as Wang Xika hesitated, a yellow figure swooped down on a mammoth like lightning. It looks like a tiger, but it's much bigger than the tigers of later generations. It's about 3.4 meters long, and it's two meters high at the shoulder.
Could it be a Siberian tiger?
The Siberian tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is the largest of the tigers. Although the Siberian tiger is also an endangered protected animal, Wang Xika has no mercy for carnivores – hunters and tigers are essentially hunters. There is no need for pity and sympathy among hunters. Wang Xijia raised the gun in his hand, and with a snap, it was a short shot, shooting the tiger from the eye.
The reason for the head shooting is to ensure the integrity of the tiger skin. In this year, the occasional killing of one or two tigers does not affect the tiger population.
"Huh, why doesn't this tiger have patterns?" Wang Xika stepped forward to check on his prey, and was surprised to find that the tiger's fur did not have the familiar black and yellow stripes. It looks like a lion's fur, pure yellow.
The most handsome thing about tiger skin is its colorful fur, which is not recognizable without color. Wang Xijia secretly regretted in his heart and continued to check the tiger head.
His marksmanship was still very accurate, and the bullet entered the tiger's right eye and shot out of the back of the head. There is only one bullet hole. Although the whole skin has no patterns, it is still very intact. Looking further on, it is surprising that the tiger has a pair of huge tusks of nearly 20 centimeters, which are ostentatiously hung outside the mouth.
Ah, it's a saber-toothed tiger! After two glances, Wang Xika suddenly remembered the name of the animal.
The saber-toothed tiger was a beast that became extinct at the same time as the mammoth, and because it had not been seen in later generations, it was not thought of this creature at the first time.
This time he didn't drive when he went out hunting, Wang Xijia originally wanted to hunt a few bears first, and then take the bear skin back. The meat on the bear's body was put away first, and when it came back, it was driven to the boat. Anyway, it's cold and snowy, and the meat won't be bad if it is left for two days. But now this "cherished animal" saber-toothed tiger, Wang Xika really wants to take it back, for fear that he will be bitten by wolves if he stays in the snow.
"Shall we carry this animal back to the ship? the meat can be eaten, and I will keep the head as a taxidermy." Wang Xika asked Zack in an inquiring tone - it is estimated that Zack and Tengu have the strength to carry the saber-toothed tiger back. Not long after he had known Tengu, he was embarrassed to support him, so he had to seek Zack's help.
Zach nodded without saying a word, and easily carried the saber-toothed tiger's body on his shoulder. The 5,600-pound beast he carried it as easily as a schoolboy carrying a schoolbag.
"What is the specimen?" Lang Naduo had never heard of this new word, and asked Wang Xijia curiously.
Wang Xijia was about to explain, when he suddenly found that the ground in front of him began to shake again, and this time five fat and strong polar bears ran out. This is exactly the goal of Wang Xijia this time!
Smack, smack, smack, swish, swish!
Wang Xika shot and killed three heads, and Zack shot and killed two. In an instant, 5 bears died.
"Haha! Let's peel off the bear skin and bring it back, and we'll have a leather coat to wear!" Wang Xika shouted excitedly. He didn't expect this hunt to go so smoothly, and he thought that he should use Lang Nado and Tengu's keen sense of smell to find clues, and then follow the clues little by little to search for prey, this is where the fun of hunting lies! Who knew that it was so simple, and the prey would hit the muzzle of the gun by itself, which was as easy as drinking soup.
"The rod beats the roe deer and scoops the fish, and the pheasant flies into the iron pot". This is the word used by the people who went to Kanto to describe the abundance of products in the Tohoku region, and it is also appropriate to describe the Arctic.
"It's too cold to peel here, there's no hot water. Otherwise, I'll be here to keep watch, and you can go back and drive the car, and we'll take these bears back to the boat and deal with them?" Peng Lianhu suggested.
Indeed, skinning in the wilderness is quite laborious.
"That's okay, Lang Naduo, you and Peng Lianhu are guarding here, don't let the wolf bite our bear. Can you lift the bear? If you can, you can lift one, and we'll go back and drive. Wang Xika commanded. Actually, there was no need for Tengu to bring a bear back. The main reason is that Wang Xijia feels that the tengu has just returned to obedience, and the tengu is too strong in combat. Leave him behind, in case of a villain, Lang Naduo and Peng Lianhu can't deal with it.
Although in this icy and snowy place, the tengu has no reason to be evil. But as the old saying goes, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
Tengu didn't think much of it, and walked over and picked up a bear and walked up, looking relaxed. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have found it hard to believe that the tengu would have such power.
A few people were about to leave, when the earth suddenly trembled again. This time the trembling was greater than the previous ones, and cracks appeared in the ice sheet.
"Damn! I said no wonder all the animals are running out, it's an earthquake, everyone run!"
The wolves I saw earlier, the mammoths, the saber-toothed tigers, and the polar bears all ran outside, not because the Arctic was rich in products, and they rushed to hit the muzzle of the gun, but because they had a premonition of disaster!
Animals are far more sensitive to natural disasters than humans. Whether it's an earthquake, a tsunami, or a volcanic eruption, they can sense it in advance. Therefore, in modern times, there are many places that deliberately raise some animals to predict disasters. This season is Arctic winter, and polar bears generally find a warm place to hibernate. If it rushes out on a large scale, it will be a disaster.
It stands to reason that there is no need to worry about earthquakes in this era, because there are no large buildings, and there is no need to worry about being buried by reinforced concrete. But the Arctic is different, the Arctic is all ice caps and there is no land underneath. If the earthquake shakes the ice cap open, there is still a good chance that the person will fall into the sea.
The sea here is below freezing, and people who fall into it and hold on for less than ten minutes will die due to the low temperature. This is how Jack of "Titanic" died, which is a tragedy.
"Run!" Wang Xika shouted and ran forward. After only a few steps, he couldn't stand steadily, because the ground shook so badly that he could only lie on the spot.
"Whoa!" came a loud roar, the sound of a supersonic plane taking off, the decibels so loud that it was unbearable. Wang Xika was instantly stunned by this roar, and couldn't hear anything for a while.
In the haze, I could only see the glacier beneath my feet beginning to crumble inch by inch. In the distance, there seems to be a huge thing about to emerge from under the ice!
Could it be that a volcano is about to erupt? Have you never heard of any volcanoes in the Arctic? At this moment, Wang Xika didn't think much about it, but secretly prayed in his heart that he would not die in this place.
"Woo!" a mountain suddenly rose from under the ice. The mountain is thousands of meters high, and you can't see the end of it. reminds Wang Xika of Li Bai's poem: Haike talks about Yingzhou, and it is difficult to find a letter in the smoke and waves. The more people talk about the sky, the clouds and clouds may be visible. The heavenly grandmother is horizontal, and the five mountains cover the red city. The rooftop is 48,000 feet, and it wants to fall southeast......
