Chapter 712: See the reindeer again

Of the eight dogs, five ran away, while Bi Fang only met three......

The case of the other two......

"The chances of surviving are slim." Bi Fang sighed, as an explorer with the theme of survival in the wilderness, he naturally knows how difficult it is to survive in the Arctic, maybe the dog's companion fell in the snow forever.

The only reason that made Bi Fang a little confused was why the Inuit in front of him wanted to send the other three over, shouldn't he have returned the dogs?

In any case, the original owner of the dog egg has no children, and as an inheritance, there is no doubt that it is more appropriate to leave it to the neighbors, right?

After all, for the old owner of the dog, he is just a stranger.

The Inuit at the head did smile: "But Banram is obviously closer to you, you see, even if I called its name, it only responded, and did not come, it has already found a new owner on its own, hasn't it?" ”

Bi Fang was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the dog squatting at his feet.

Indeed, when the Inuit called Banram's name at the beginning, Goudan was indeed excited, and Bi Fang let go of his hand at that time, but Goudan did not rush over, but squatted quietly at his feet.

Didn't feed in vain!

Thinking of this, Bi Fangli rubbed the dog's head,

"Ban Ram is the head dog, and very smart, I have had a lot of sled dogs, and I have seen more than hundreds, but Ban Ram is also one of the smartest, I believe in its choice, and my family sled dogs have too many, three more or less, it doesn't matter, you don't need it, but feed more for nothing."

The Inuit are right, pet dogs generally consume about 1,000 calories a day, and sled dogs burn as many as 10,000 calories a day, which is 10 times or more than ordinary dogs.

But the fertility of dogs is very strong, unless it is a competition level, the ordinary pull sled dog is not too rare, and more is a waste of resources.

Purebred sled dogs, one dog can pull a person, in addition to the fact that the sled dog itself is very strong, mainly because of the low resistance of the ice and snow.

In international luge competitions, two people on the sled, usually four to six strong sled dogs, are more than enough.

In a sled rally near the North Pole, a dozen Samoyeds can even pull hundreds of kilograms of goods in the cold wind of -1-40 degrees Celsius, and only need a few hours of rest every day.

Where can normal people use such a big pull?

This pull is enough to drag a musk ox, no matter how much, it is not only difficult to control, but also a waste of resources, which can only be eaten at home.

Now that the words are here, Bi Fang naturally agreed, for the Inuit, the sled dogs left behind by Amaluk are an idle resource, but for him, it does greatly increase the transportation capacity and facilitate more operations.

The audience shouted excitedly that the expedition was about to add a new member!

Unexpected joy, unexpected joy!

Not only did it completely solve the problem of the ownership of the dog's eggs, but there were even three more healthy sled dogs.

[Good boy, I didn't give you so much meat for nothing! 】

[From the moment the dog wore a horn helmet and was reluctant to give up afterwards, I knew that these two dogs were really smart]

[Rescuing whales will really bring unexpected joy!] 】

After confirming the ownership of the dogs, the Inuit arrived with three other sled dogs in the afternoon and handed them over to Bi Fang completely.

That's two Alaskans, and one Samoyed, so far, Bi Fang has a total of six sled dogs, one Erha, three Alaska, and two Samoyeds.

The original team was combined again, and the dog jumped up and down excitedly, perhaps the only fly in the ointment was that there were no females in the team.

When the initial excitement passed, the dog looked into the distance, which was the back of the Inuit leaving.

"Don't look at it, you won't have your wife anymore."

Bi Fang kicked the dog's buttocks, causing it to bark in displeasure.

Holding down the dog's head, Bi Fang didn't care.

With three more sled dogs, the pulling force is indeed not high, if it was originally able to pull 120 kilograms, now it is even approaching 300 kilograms!

This means that Bi Fang can modify the sled, improve the configuration, and easily carry prey, as long as it is not as large as the musk ox.

The only problem was that the consumption of food had increased again, the sense of security that musk oxen had quickly vanished, and the dogs were eating more than adults, a little more difficult than Bi Fang had initially anticipated.

Thankfully, the Inuit gave Bifang a key message before leaving.

About 20 kilometers to the southwest, there is a herd of reindeer!

Looking at Captain Harveys, who continued to carry out the rescue plan in an orderly manner, Bi Fang felt that there was no big problem with one less person for the time being.

After the announcement, Bi Yi led the six sled dogs to the southwest.

Don't miss the opportunity again, the reindeer herd is there now, and you may not know where to run in two days, but you can't miss it!

After a brief cultivation of feelings, feeding some water and food, Bi Fang pulled the reins, and after a short period of rustiness, quickly mastered the essentials of driving, and the six sled dogs were full of firepower and galloped away in the southwest direction.

There are six engines, and sure enough, the power is strong, sitting on the sleigh, Bi Fang only feels that the wind is galloping, and he can go anywhere on the ice field.

Without resting, only an hour and a half, Bi Fang found a large number of traces left by the passing of reindeer on the ground, and there were extremely many footprints, and it was obvious that this was an extremely large group.

According to the number of footprints, Bi Fang roughly estimated that there were at least hundreds!

"It's rare." Bi Fang brushed aside the dry snow on his hands and identified the hoof prints on the ground, "Greenland reindeer have actually experienced an extinction time. ”

"Before the 19th century, there were herds of reindeer in Greenland, and apart from the occasional polar bear, the Eskimos' ancient hunting methods did not affect their population. However, in the 19th century, the number of inhabitants on the island increased, and the number of wild animals they hunted gradually increased. ”

"Especially after Greenland became a Danish colony in 1814, the appearance of the shotgun completely announced the fate of the reindeer population, which led to the complete extinction of the reindeer, and most of the reindeer on the island now run from other places."

"So it's still very rare to meet a herd of hundreds of reindeer, they shouldn't have gone far, dog, go on!"

Bi Fang stepped back on the sleigh and tracked again, in order to better find the traces, he slowed down, and finally half an hour later, he saw a dense number of small black dots on the ice field.
