(541) Hunters and prey
It was another difficult trek, and after camping, the soldiers were so tired that they didn't want to move.
It was dry and cold, and everywhere was bare, and the surroundings had not changed much from the previous evening.
This caused a sense of frustration in everyone's hearts, as if they were busy in vain and didn't move forward much at all.
"Wait, this wolf howl isn't quite right,"
Alexandra stood up suddenly, listening intently to distant voices.
Karl took a bite of the hard salted beef jerky, drank a mouthful of wild vegetable porridge to dilute the salty taste, and then said:
"Ugly girl, can you still understand the language of a wolf? It's really funny, if you can really do it, it's a condescension to be a soldier, and you should go to the circus to be an animal trainer. ”
Alexandra also ignored her friend's ridicule, and just listened intently:
"That's right, three short and one long, the signal of attack,
They're going to take a risk, it's ...... It's unreasonable, is the wolf king who leads this pack crazy? Ordering his subordinates to attack so many people is completely sending them to death. ”
Karl took a sip of vodka, burped, and said, "You must be hungry, my brothers are hungry, and the boss must be in a hurry." ”
"No, the wolves aren't targeting us."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, William Einfurt saw that the golden eyes of the wolves were approaching a cliff, where something seemed to be moving.
When I looked closer, it turned out to be a nest of wild boars, eating mushrooms and moss on the ground, and it seemed to be very unresponsive, unaware of the activities of humans and wolves.
The two adult wild boars are huge, and they are estimated to weigh thousands of pounds together.
Snorting hot air in their mouths, arching the dirt with their sturdy fangs and pigs' noses, looking for the rhizomes of plants, a dozen or so piglets surround the sow's belly, greedily sucking **.
"That's got it." Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief, "The wolf king is leading the hunting of the clan, let's leave it alone, according to the astrological signs, the mountain god is protecting the local creatures, let's not risk our lives." ”
"Hey, you ugly girl is still so superstitious, how can you just let the fat in front of you go." Karl raised his arm and wiped the food residue on his beard with his sleeve: "This salted beef jerky is too hard, and it almost knocks out Lao Tzu's teeth!"
Big star, ugly girl, you are waiting here, Lao Tzu invites you to a roasted wild boar feast. ”
He grabbed his belt and rifle and walked out of the camp with a few of his men.
Alexandra scolded, "This reckless dwarf! He's going to die! ”
William put down his plate and fastened his belt; "We can't let him take this little bit of people on an adventure, let's take them over too."
"Why save that Humpty Dumpty and send him to his death!" Despite this, Alexandra gathered a few of her grenadier men and followed.
The wolves had formed a semi-circular encirclement, gradually approaching their prey under the cover of shadows and stones, and as the wolf king raised his head and howled, the attack began.
The hungriest wolves were the first to attack, and they bit the boar's stomach and pulled out their entrails.
It was only when their hooves were gnawed and their heads buried in the dirt that the adult boar reacted.
A hungry wolf tries to find a killer blow to the throat, but is trapped by the opponent's huge size and thick fur.
Seeing the death of her piglets, the sow wailed, exerted force on her hind legs, and arched violently, knocking a hungry wolf off the cliff, and the huge boar pierced the hunter's chest and belly with its fangs, killing two hungry wolves in an instant.
In just half a minute after the start of the battle, there were already three casualties on his side, and the wolf king howled angrily, as if to blame his subordinates for their incompetence,
More mountain wolves pounced, and a bloody fight began.
Carl Vinson watched the battle as he lay on the edge of a stone not far away:
"Hey, the mountain boar in this Yawen Continent is fierce enough, and it is a little dull with its reaction, but this head and strength are terrifying."
Alexandra sighed, "The wolf king underestimated his prey, and tonight the mountain god is also protecting the boar spirit. ”
"Whew!" Karl spat out. "Ugly girl, you are really, where did you come from so many gods, soul, the facts are in front of you, these wolf cubs have hit hard nails,
I see, maybe this hunter will become a prey,
How about it, Commander, I'll bet a silver coin on the boar to win. ”
"I'm following, I'm betting on the victory of the wolves, after all, there are a lot of them, I'm willing to gamble and lose, but I'm not allowed to rely on the debt!" William Dao, who was lying on the side.
"That can't be, our gambling products are very good, and we never default."
"Stinky men, they're all gamblers!" Alexandra scolded, then clutched the shamanic totem necklace around her neck and prayed to the local mountain god.
"Let them fight, and we'll reap the benefits of the fisherman." William licked his lips, "Honestly, I've had enough of compressed cans and salted jerky, all compressed biscuits...... Mushroom and vegetable porridge...... There's no oil or water at all,
We need fresh meat for the tooth sacrifice. ”
Ten minutes later, the dirt on the edge of the cliff was covered with blood, and both the hunter and the prey were defeated.
The carcasses of thirteen wolves lay lying or lying on their stomachs, littered with tattered fur and guts flowing out.
The two adult wild boars were also scarred, covered with scratches and bite marks, with half of their intestines hanging from their fangs, and one of the boar's eyes gouged out by a wolf's claw.
Only half of the piglets under the sow's belly remained, and the strong mother was already on the edge of the cliff, the pig's nose had been bitten off in half, and her mouth was spitting blood, completely supported by her will.
The two sides began to face each other, and after thirty seconds, the wolf king let out a mournful howl, and the wolves turned their heads and disappeared into the darkness, and the hunters on the ridge admitted their defeat and retreated.
Carl said excitedly, "Hey, this is the moment to wait!" Look at the two big wild boars, staggering, foaming at the mouth, they can't stand steadily.
This litter of wild boars can't survive, this kind of extreme gambling in the natural environment, injury means death, let's solve the battle with a salvo in the past.
Let's go, big stars, and ugly girls, don't you two want to eat barbecue? ”
William saw that Alexandra was still praying in place, and knowing that his old friend had grown up in a tribe of the older traditions of the steppe, and believed in shamanism, and fearing to offend her faith, he asked:
"Charia, our actions won't offend the mountain god, right?"
Alexandra said with a relaxed face, "It's okay,
Even if they are as strong as the spirits of mountain gods and beasts, they must abide by the laws of nature, and they eat by their strength.
"Yes, but I see your eyes are a little moist."
"My eyes are in the sand." Alexandra stubbornly wiped away her tears:
"Well, I'll be honest, I have some admiration for the motherhood of the wild boar guarding the cubs, that's all, and the other ......
Commander, don't tell that Humpty Dumpty about this, he'll laugh at me. ”
