Snow-covered forest.

The sled team slowly stopped.

Feng Dolph jumped out of the car and led the silver-haired girl with a bulging face, stepping on the creaking fresh snow.

"Sage, it's the footprints of a bear."

The footprints are very clear, very similar to people, only with one more pair.

The cool black and white hounds sniffed around, and the old Sammy hunter who was scouting in the front row was analyzing the traces and reporting the situation.

"This bear is at least one and a half tall and weighs four."

Because of the disconnection, Brunhilde was still a little puffy.

But when it came to business, she stiffened her little face, half-knelt on the edge of the footprints, and carefully identified the clues: "It's very heavy, probably preparing for the winter, and storing a body of fat." ”

"It just snowed two or three days ago, and the traces may have been left at that time."

Feng Daofu let out a white breath and translated for her: he is about 2.4 meters long and weighs about 240kg.

Looking at the highlight mark of a natural hunter, I thought of the losses I had suffered before, and I had to work part-time as a hunter.

He was studious: "Why is that? ”

Brunhilde gave him science regardless of his previous suspicions.

It's a very simple natural principle.

During the day, the temperature will warm up and the snow will soften.

At this time, the footprints are left on it, and when the temperature drops in the evening and the snow sets again, this is equivalent to making an inverted mold for the footprints.

Depending on the quality of the snow, the clarity can be divided into SD and 4K.

The best snow remnants of the inverted molds, even the tiniest folds come to life – in this case, footprints.

"Traces can be preserved for a long, long time, even for a winter, until they disappear in the spring," Brünnhilde said. ”

The old hunter also said with a smile: "Valkyrie is right, just after the snow and just after the rain, are the best times to hunt, and the traces left are very clear. ”

"Other times, it's easy to chase and get lost, because there are other animals living in this area, and there may be a lot of animals passing by here on a road, and there will be a lot of disturbances."

"But the bear's footprints are easy to chase, and the footprints are not only deep, but they are bigger than the eggs of wild boars, and they are ......."

"Wang!"

The hound shouted.

I followed the hound to a dozen meters away.

"Wow!"

The black and white hounds dug and dug this and that, and the snowflakes splashed, and in a short time they dug out a large lump of bear dung.

"It's!"

Brunhilde was pleasantly surprised as if he had found gold, and he pulled out his dagger and pulled the bear dung without disgust: "Let me see, this is pulled by eating pine nuts, and there are a lot of undigested particles, peeling it feels like peeling a pine cone by hand." ”

"There are also half worms nearby, and this bear must have dug a hole not far away, and the bear likes to dig into the ground to find some seeds and larvae to eat."

"Teacher, there may be something wrong with my judgment just now, this bear is not fully ready for the winter and is still in the stage of storing food."

"Or is there something that makes it have to eat more......"

The silver-haired girl pondered, and in Feng Dolph's shocked eyes, the tip of the dagger dipped in bear dung, and sniffed it close to her nose.

Then frowned: "The smell is scattered a lot, and I can't smell it." ”

"I guess it's a she-bear with a cub, and if it's fresh bear dung, you can try it and see if you can smell it...... Teacher, what's your expression? ”

Feng Daofu looked away: "There is no expression." ”

Brunhilde puffed up his face: "If you want to become a top hunter, you can't dislike, this is the best clue to follow!" ”

"You can feel the that really comes out of your buttocks."

"If it's a hot piece of bear, you can put your hand on it and feel the warmth of the poop!"

The more the silverhead spoke, the more excited she became.

The question marks on Vondolph's face also grew.

Until Brunhilde thrust in and looked proud: "I have a cabinet dedicated to all kinds of animal droppings, and bears occupy an entire cabinet. ”

"There are those who eat pine nuts, there are those who eat grass, and there are those who eat deer."

She raised her chin, like a little girl showing off her baby to her parents: "There is a lump of bear with two deer hooves inside, and it looks like a crown, this lump is super cool!" It's the best commemorative in my collection! ”

Boy!

Feng Dolph leaned back tactically, and called good guy in his heart!

I used to only know that my female students could eat and were born with divine powers, but I didn't expect to have this chic hobby.

The charm of talking about over and over again.

It's so professional!

Professionalism is a bit daunting.

"Teacher, you, are you disgusting me?"

Brunhilde finally sensed his reaction.

Her eyes trembled slightly: "You, like everyone else, think I'm a dirt girl who likes to play?" ”

Old Man Feng's expression was correct in an instant, and he opened his mouth to come: "I just want to remind you that the hat on your head is crooked." ”

Straightened the pretty otter hat on Silverhair's head.

He looked at the girl's basket of purple eyes and exhaled a white breath: "I envy you, Brunhilde. ”

Brunhilde was stunned: "Envy... I? ”

Feng Dolph: "I envy you for living a very free and easy life, unwavering in what you think you love, you have a charismatic personality like the heroine in the story!" ”

"You let me know what the real Miss Hunter is!"

"You gave me a lot of inspiration, I thought of the story of Miss Hunter in an instant with 100,000 words, you are my best heroine!"

Feng Dolph boasted that he was full of firepower, and finally made Silverhair stop talking about her collection.

Brunhilde wrapped his fingers around the hair around his ear, a little shy: "The teacher is always so exaggerated...... Teacher, then you can ...... these 100,000 words."

Feng Dolph: "It's not too early, let's follow this clue and see if we can catch this female bear with cubs before dark." ”

Ignoring the silverhaired girl's bulging bun face, Vondolph commanded the hunting party to act.

Some people found a place to set up camp, some people moved freely, and the rest of the team was lightly armed.

The footprints are clear, but there has been no trace of the bear.

So it's impossible to know for sure whether Brünnhilde's judgment was right or not.

Vondolph is accustomed to hypothetizing the worst: "If it is a mother bear with cubs, it is the most dangerous and the best prey." ”

Brunhilde added: "It's also the best. ”

Feng Daofu opened his mouth to ask, but when the words came to his mouth, he figured out the reason.

Most often because the meat of female animals does not have the effect of testosterone.

Whether it is or not, he has no experience, and he is not sure, anyway, the female elk is indeed delicious.

Get on a sleigh and move quickly.

On the way, Vondolph humbly consulted a female student with a unique hobby, and gained a lot of hunting experience from Brünnhilde.

Like tracking, this is the daily life of a hunter, and it also determines the ability of a hunter.

Because of the direction of the wind, wolves sometimes get lost when they follow the wolves, and the hounds can't run directly with the tracks, and they have to stop constantly on the road, digging and digging and digging and digging and shaving, and they have to smell everywhere after digging.

By analogy, it's a lot like a detective solving a crime.

Constantly capturing the words of various passers-by, constantly collecting clues, and then piecing together these complex puzzle pieces.

"Tracking is hard and boring, but it makes the prey tastier," Brünnhilde said. ”

The old hunter nodded in agreement.

Hard to track?

Vondolph glanced at the traces that kept shining along the way.

Can make playing... Professional hunters say this, which shows their views on tracking.

And now, because of the bonus of the Born Hunter, it feels like a hanging...... Vondolph truly realized the value of traits, born hunters.

He was already a god, and he didn't hide it, and directly opened his mouth to show the way: "This way." ”

"Over there."

"Left."

......

With one open, the tracking efficiency has skyrocketed.

When the sun reached noon, I finally found a piece of fresh buttocks.

"Can't go any further."

Brunhilde observed, frowned, and said, "Change places, first figure out the shape." ”

After a few moments, the terrain was clear.

"There's a hillside here, a stream at the bottom, and jungle on this side......"

Vondolf drew a topographical map, then on the left side of the hill, drawing a bear's head: "The bear's location is here." ”

The old hunter smacked his lips: "We are in a poor position. ”

"Now that the temperature is rising, no matter how it passes, the wind will carry the human smell to the bear's side."

The air goes down when it cools and rises when it heats up.

In the coldest part of the morning, the cold air rushes all the way down the mountain.

When the sun comes up, the temperature changes, it gets a few degrees warmer, and then the cold air starts coming up again.

The bear's position is too advantageous.

Once the wind carried the scent through, it was the equivalent of seeing the Homo erectus punch in the face.

The female bear, which has not yet approached, roars, and enters the stage of tearing the third child from the moment of the quiet years.

"It's not that there is no way, you can wait for it to eat."

Brünnhilde frowned and said something proposed.

Several professional hunters are also thinking about a way.

Feng Dolph looked at the stream on the topographic map, recalled his high school geography knowledge, and suddenly had an idea: "We can use the wind." ”

The silver-haired girl raised her eyes in confusion: "Take advantage of the wind?" Deliberately alarm the bear, and then hunt it head-on? ”

"With the power of a little boy, it can be, but the risk is a bit great, and it is likely that there will be hounds and hunters injured."

"Not so."

Vondolph interrupted her and made a gesture on the topographic map: "You see, the creek is located at a low place, and the frozen cold water is enough to cool the air and form a natural low temperature zone. ”

"Because the stream cools the air, the cold air descends, and the downdraft here is like a wall."

He stroked the hair around Brünnhilde's ear.

The engineering dog, who had completely entered the ocean of knowledge, completely ignored the silverhaired girl's stunned expression.

After judging the amplitude of the hair blowing, Feng Daofu said confidently: "Now the wind is not high, and the wall formed by the downdraft is enough to resist the main wind direction and forcibly stop the wind!" ”

"Whether it is the wind blowing from one end to the other, or the wind blowing horizontally and vertically, the natural low temperature area formed by the frozen stream water is enough to ensure that the smell on the body does not alarm this female bear!"

"You brought the brown bear here, and I lay in ambush by the brook when it was defenseless......"

Feng Dolph smashed his fist on the ground, and the snow splashed everywhere: "One shot of the ballista is fatal!" ”

Seems feasible?

The hunters looked at each other, and judging by experience, it was very feasible.

It may take a little longer than a frontal assault, but it can be hunted without damage!

Let them have a choice, and that must be a non-injury hunting.

Brunhilde nodded in support: "You can try!" ”

Both the sage and the Valkyrie decided, and the hunters obeyed.

Before acting, the silver-haired girl grabbed Feng Daofu: "Teacher, wait, I'll draw you an eyeliner." ”

Vondolph: "Huh? ”

Brünnhilde took out the small black bottle and said seriously, "This will prevent the sun goddess's mischief." ”

Feng Dolph thought about it and did not refuse her kindness.

The silverhead was very close, and she could smell the good smell on her body when she was close...... The smell of?

Haofa, a huntress, can't have a good smell on her body.

Feng Dolph tried to restrain his expression as much as possible.

When Brünnhilde finished drawing him, he pulled out his dagger and looked at it, a bit of a Viking feeling.

He also figured out the principle.

The purpose is similar to that of the ancient Egyptians who painted black eyeliner around the eyes, both to protect them from direct sunlight.

People with deep eye sockets can create reflections under their eyes when sunlight shines down from above.

If you are suddenly shaken by the sun while hunting or fighting, it will seriously affect your life.

Black absorbs light, reduces the interference of reflections, makes the field of vision clearer, and also prevents snow blindness.

Feng Daofu said in his heart that he could also be blessed by the immortal mode.

"I love black."

Brunhilde straightened his clothes and said softly, "If only you could have black hair like you, teacher." ”

Vondolph resisted the urge to blink: "Why? It's mostly snowy in the north, isn't it better to camouflage with silver hair? ”

Brunhilde said, "They're Sámi, aren't they?" I don't know how the teacher recruited them...... They are all very good hunters, but teacher, guess why they wear bright orange and red clothes when hunting? ”

He thought for a moment: "Remind your companions? ”

The silver-haired girl nodded and said, "I've tested, many animals can't actually tell the color, whether they wear white or orange-red is almost the same for them, so wearing orange and red can prevent their companions from accidentally injuring themselves, which is more important than white camouflage." ”

Feng Daofu smiled: "But silver hair is better." ”

"One white covers a hundred ugliness, and one D covers all...... In short, the Great Winter Hunt is not only about hunting, but also about those Norwegian routs, and at this time the silver hair is your advantage. ”

He comforted Brunhilde.

How do you know that the silver-haired girl blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "What does a D mean?" ”

"Meaning...... They're ready, let's hurry up and get in place. ”

Vondolph stepped forward.

Brunhilde puffed out his face and followed him: "Teacher, don't change the subject!" ”

He patted the little boy, "Brunhilde, have you ever wondered why I can take out these guys?" ”

The silverhaired girl shook her head: "Because of my collection, I don't have many friends, so don't talk about it, teacher." ”

Solid eyes, but not stupid.

Feng Daof quipped: "Actually, this is a kind of agricultural tool. ”

Brünnhilde: "? ”

"Isn't it a farming tool to clean up the beasts that inflict on the farm?"

Feng Daofu originally wanted to say a few homophonic jokes, but there was no homophonic stalk in the Norse language, so he had to give up: "What else should I pay attention to?" In case of failure, is there any filing? ”

Brunhilde: "First of all, you can't act like a lamb to the slaughter, you have to raise your hand and yell at it, you can't just turn around and run, if you turn your head and run to show your back, it may intensify the animal's predatory instinct, it will feel that the meat in its mouth has run away, and it has to get people back." ”

Feng Daofu understood, and behaved like an equal powerhouse.

I'll give you Brother Xiong a face, and you will also give me a face, everyone's well water will not interfere with river water...... Isn't it a face-saving fruit!

It is said that in the face of the licking wolf, the decision was really rotten.

There is no way, although the physical configuration is enough, the mental configuration is dragging its feet.

"Also, you must choose your attacks carefully, real hunters will not force their attacks, they will wait for the best opportunity to attack."

"For example, when hunting a bear, the best position is on the side, and you can choose to seriously injure the shoulder, which can affect the bear's ability to attack and move, and it can also penetrate the heart and lungs behind the shoulder," Brunhilde said. ”

"Bears have thick fur and muscles, and if you want to kill them in one hit, you need a powerful bow."

Vondolph agrees.

If it weren't for the explosion of potential, I wouldn't have been able to bite the neck of the licking wolf.

The human body is amazing.

"If you attack in the wrong position, you can hunt successfully, but the tracking process can become very long, and it is easy to have accidents when you break into the territory of other predators along the way."

Silverhair continued: "The snow leaves clear trails and can drown out your voice, and you can sneak closer to the animals than if you were stepping on leaves, but moving in the snow will take more energy, and you will be dangerous if you chase for a long time. ”

An old professor at Tongliao University also complained to Feng Daofu about the death chase.

What relies on endurance and heat dissipation to fight the prey to death...... This most primitive form of hunting is certainly an example of human endurance, but 99% of hunters do not do it.

This chase is too risky for hunters.

Playing a game of chasing and chasing will be lost, but in reality, unless the terrain is advantageous, long-distance tracking will only be more difficult to find traces, and there will also be a huge energy expenditure, which may cause death due to overheating/hypothermia and dehydration.

Taking a step back, even if a person's life is not in danger, valuable physical energy is wasted, making subsequent hunting more difficult and dangerous.

Conflicts caused by intruding into the territory of other predators, and getting lost due to ignorance of the terrain...... Unless you're going to starve to death, death chase is definitely not the preferred way to hunt.

"And after chasing for a long time, the taste of prey meat will be very bad! Very, very poor! ”

The foodie girl's tone was serious.

Feng Daofu said that he has been full of lactic acid for high-intensity exercise, and the taste must be bad.

"This will also give the prey more pain, so that the prey can be quickly relieved to get the blessing of the hunting god."

Already at the edge of the stream, Brunhilde looked for an ambush location: "It's good here, you can aim for the side." ”

"When they harass the bear's physical strength decreases, it will definitely have to eat, and when the time comes to attack, it will react slowly and have a great success rate."

Vondolph began to set up the ballista: "Because when eating, the blood has to be supplied to the stomach for digestion, which makes the brain not have enough blood, sleepy, and distracted. ”

"Blood supply to the brain?"

The silver-haired girl blinked, looking curious.

"You like hunting, you must have dissected a lot of animal carcasses, the so-called blood supply, is ......."

Vondolph waited as he taught.

And so it went on for a while, until ......

"Boom!"

The roar echoed in the mountains and forests.

Birds flew in the woods, and ravens croaked.

Suddenly, Feng Dolph's scalp was numb, as if he had been electrified.

This oppressive force, before we have met, has far surpassed the gray wolf......

Vondolph felt that the adrenaline had begun to rise, as if he had passively entered the slow world of life towards death.

He 'slowly' saw Brünnhilde's blue-purple eyes widen, and his little face was full of excitement.

Excited?

"Here we go."

Brünnhilde held the crossbow in a relaxed position.

Vondolph exhaled and waited patiently.

It wasn't long before he saw the hounds fighting brown bears.

"Woohoo!"

"Boom!"

Each hunter will bring a few hounds to form a large herd of reinforced rows.

But even with their numbers, the hounds can't kill the brown bears.

It just formed a huge circular encirclement, taking turns to harass and create opportunities for hunters.

"Phew!"

"Hah!"

The Sami hunter runs like a fly, making strange noises in his mouth, creating the illusion that there are enemies on all sides.

Some of them suddenly roared: "Ula! ”

Constantly harassing the brown bear, leaving it in exercise and unable to rest.

The hound has to rest for a long time when it is tired, and the hunter can continue to eat dried fish and drink water when he is tired, and drinking water while running is the endurance advantage of the erect ape.

This has been harassing for a long time, and when the brown bear is getting more and more tired and more ferocious.

The Sami hunters suddenly retreated with a pack of hounds.

"Huh?"

The brown bear's beanie eyes blinked in confusion, and he was puzzled for a long time.

Sure that the annoying Homo erectus and lackeys were really gone, the brown bear gasped for a moment, looked at the stream next to him, licked his mouth, and prepared to break through the ice to eat.

Just as it was eating the fish, a subtle trigger sounded suddenly, and the thick crossbow suddenly pierced the air!

Sou!

The brown bear fell in confusion, and hot arrows of blood flew and stained the ground with white snow.
