Chapter 7: The Red Fox
Compound bow, a kind of shooting weapon that I have particularly liked since I was a child, so I know how terrifying its power is, as long as it is not a problem of quality, often a crossbow arrow can easily penetrate the human body, and it feels several times more terrifying than bullets.
Obviously this is not the time to talk about the difference between a compound bow and a shotgun, either of which would be fatal to me.
There wasn't much distance between me and the two rangers, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer to me, I thought I might as well just stand up.
But once I stand up and expose myself, I don't know if the other party will worry that their secret collusion will be exposed, and they will shoot me directly.
But if you don't go out, looking at their appearance, you would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.
For a while, I didn't know what to do, I didn't come out, I didn't come out.
Seeing that I was in danger of being shot mercilessly, but at this moment, a pitch-black and weak figure rushed out directly from where I was.
Before I could see what the black shadow was.
Sou......!
A crossbow bolt shot straight at the black shadow, hitting it directly, killing it on the spot.
"A false alarm, it's a hare!"
One of the rangers ran over and, after finding that it was a hare dead, let out a long breath.
"Hare, that's great, bring it here, I'm worried that I can't find the bait." Another ranger said.
After retrieving their crossbow arrows, the two rangers carried the dead hare back to where they had stopped, and the two men began to get to work.
Looking at the tragic death of the hare, I felt an indescribable grief in my heart, as if I had lost one of my best friends in the world.
It's just a hare, but it saved my life, I don't want it to be exposed to the wilderness, I want to let it be buried in the ground, but I can't do anything at the moment.
Originally, when I first met these two rangers, I thought the two of them were very good, but I didn't expect that there would be such a cold-blooded and ruthless side.
They shot without hesitation with just one figure, apparently they didn't think about the consequences at all.
After about ten minutes, the two rangers had retreated again, lurking less than two meters away from me, just as I was at this time.
At such a close distance, I didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being discovered by these two cautious guys.
In fact, the two of them are facing away from me at this time, and as long as I want, I can take advantage of the unpreparedness to finish off the two guys on the spot.
But I didn't, because I didn't know what they were going to do, and if I misunderstood, wouldn't it be irreversible?
It was the hare that saved me, but it was a bit ridiculous to hurt two people for the sake of one hare.
I didn't move, I didn't move, I was lying motionless like a dead corpse on two people, listening to the conversation between the two rangers.
"Hey, I said does this trap really work, can it really be caught alive?"
"Don't worry, there's no problem at all, the smell of blood is so strong, it's impossible not to attract it!"
"Alas, I've heard that thing is very evil, what if we get on the road, I think it's better to forget it!"
"Bullshit, wealth and danger are sought, and I don't believe in those hometown nonsense at all, think about it, a high-quality skin, how high is the current price, tens of thousands of yuan, we two bullshit interns, even if we intern for a few more years, we can't earn tens of thousands of yuan, and I want to forget it, if you regret it, you will quit, I will do it alone!"
"Oh don't, I'm just talking casually, you see that you are still serious, of course you must be a brother to be blessed and enjoy hardships together, right...... That one...... Hmmm......mm ”
"Shhhh
Before the timid ranger could finish his sentence, he was covered by another handful, and then made a boo gesture at him, and hurriedly turned off the flashlight in his hand.
Although I didn't see it, just listening to the conversation between the two guys, I could already guess that they were setting a trap to catch animals just now, and I don't know what kind of animals to catch, but it seems that it should be a very rare animal breed, otherwise it would not be worth tens of thousands of dollars for a skin.
As soon as the flashlight was turned off, the surroundings suddenly became pitch black, and for a moment it was as if you were in an endless dark hell, giving people a kind of fear from the heart.
Babble!
There was a noise not far away, and it seemed as if something was in the darkness.
In the next second, in the darkness where I couldn't see my fingers, I saw a red light appear in my sight, and it was a fox covered in fiery red.
The red fox's fur seemed to glow in the dark, and I could see it so clearly.
At this moment, not only the fiery red fur of that body was clearly visible, but also a pair of eyes faintly glowing with golden light.
The fire fox seemed to have been attracted by the vivid smell of blood on the hare, and was now sniffing and cautiously approaching.
Syllable......!
I wanted to throw a stone or something in the past, so that it could escape quickly after being frightened, but because I didn't find the specific location of the trap, I was too late, and the stone I finally touched from the side was triggered before I could raise my hand and throw it out.
Whoop...... Woo woo woo ......!
As the trap was triggered, the red fox's mouth made a sound similar to that of a dog, and then it made a crying sound like a baby, which sounded so penetrating.
"Hahaha, great, caught it!"
The two rangers no longer dodged, and as soon as they were high, they jumped out of the grass, turned on their flashlights again, and rushed straight to where the red fox was.
Or when I saw a human being, the strange cry of the red fox became even more poignant.
"I really caught the grass, and it's such a fat one, this time we're developed!"
"Don't be too happy too early, lest you have a long night and many dreams, and peel the skin alive while it's dark, otherwise the fur will not be glamorous if you die!"
As he spoke, one of the rangers said to the other, "Hurry up, give me the knife!" ”
"Knives, what knives, I only have nail clippers on me now!"
"What nail clippers, I want a knife, the knife for peeling that you prepared before?"
"Ah, I forgot that one in the cabin, I'll get it right now!"
As he spoke, a ranger turned and ran towards the location of the cabin.
One is gone, and there is only one left, and it looks like the guy has put away the compound bow.
I thought about taking the opportunity to rush over and knock him unconscious while he was unprepared, so that I wouldn't reveal my identity and rescue the red fox in time.
Although to be honest I don't like small animals very much, especially this furry animal, which makes me feel a dense phobia.
But it is a life, it seems to be an extremely rare protected animal, I naturally don't want to watch it die tragically at the hands of two greedy guys, and I still have to skin that body alive, how bloody and cruel it will be.
Without thinking much about it, now was the best opportunity, so I slowly got up from the grass and walked towards the red fox and the ranger.
But after only two steps away, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became a little wrong.
Originally, the ranger was still laughing wildly unabashedly, but there was no movement at all for a while.
As if enchanted, the ranger bent down and reached out to untie the snarle around the red fox's neck.
And the red fox stopped screaming, and just stared at the ranger, letting him untie the rope around his neck little by little.
Soon, the red fox was free, and it unhurriedly picked up the hare, which had not yet stiffened.
At that moment I saw the red fox's gaze look towards where I was, as if it had discovered my presence.
But it didn't come, just stood there and stared at me, and I felt a hairbreak in my heart!
