Volume 114 Rounding up sand martens
"Senior Wu, are you sure that the sand mink is in this barren sand?" Yi Jing looked at this barren land, and didn't even see a single grass, it was hard to imagine that there would be a sand mink here.
"I've lived here for several years, how could there be anything wrong!" Seeing Yi Jing's suspicious words, Wu Huai was quite unhappy, if it weren't for the fact that they were here to help him, maybe he would have been angry.
"But there's nothing here, what do sand minks eat to survive?" Yi Jing's suspicions were not unreasonable.
"It looks desolate here, but it is not as dead and silent as the desert, in fact, there is water not deep on the surface of this layer of yellow sand, and there are many things living underground, you are just confused by this appearance. Seeing that Yijing still had doubts, Wu Huai patiently explained.
"Oh, I see!" Yi Jing understood.
"Sand minks are very small, not picky eaters, and extremely hardy and hungry, and this place is sparsely populated and the food is not worried, so it is an ideal environment for them to live. In order to make it easier for them to catch sand martens, Wu Huai further explained the habits of sand martens to enhance their understanding.
"Then what are their specific living habits, and how can they be caught?" Wu Huai had worked hard for so long to no avail, and the sand mink must have its own unique place, and Ming Xuan also seemed very cautious.
"First of all, they are very timid, as long as there is the slightest abnormality, they will hide in the sand and will not appear until they are repeatedly confirmed to be safe, secondly, they are also very fast, and their fur is very similar to the yellow sand, it is easy to blend together, it is extremely difficult to distinguish, and secondly, they live in groups, and if one sand martk is frightened, then the whole group will hide and will come out again after a month or two to feed. As soon as Wu Huai said this, everyone finally understood why he hadn't caught a sable for so long.
"Ahh
"That's why it's taken me years, but it's been two months since I last caught them, and they should be out foraging again. These experiences have been accumulated little by little by Wu Huai over the past few years, which shows the hardships he has captured, and it is no wonder that he is nostalgic for the things of the year.
"Then what should we do now?" Wu Huai said so much, which made Ming Xuan feel a little tricky.
"I can only wait patiently, lurk after discovering the sand mink, and then find the best opportunity to attack, and be sure to hit it with one hit!" Over the years, Wu Huai has also exhausted various methods, but he still feels that this method is the most direct and effective when used.
"But their reaction is extremely fast, what if they run away?" Yi Jing felt uncertain.
"If it escapes, the four of us must quickly defend one side, trap it in the middle, and then follow it to dig and chase in the sand, although it is a master of the escape, but it can't fight the four of us! When the time comes, there will be nothing to hide!" Wu Huai said loudly, enhancing their confidence; in fact, he almost succeeded several times, and he was about to dig the sand and catch it, but unfortunately he was not strong enough, so he had to watch it leave, and now with the help of Ming Xuan and the three of them, it would be much easier.
"Well, it's a good way, it should be feasible!" Ming Xuan thought about it, and also felt that the method was good, the four of them were all martial arts students, and their strength, speed, and endurance were not comparable to that of a sand mink, and they could also consume it!
"I also brought tools, one for each person!" Wu Huai took out four shovels, and one of them gave one.
"Wait a while, if we find the sand mink, we will lurk separately, if it is close, to whose attack range, just shoot, don't hesitate, if not, we will chase and intercept again, we will definitely not be able to escape!" Although Ming Xuan is the first time to catch sand sables, the method of catching prey is still much the same, the four strong men work together, and the sand sable can't escape! And everyone naturally has no objection to this arrangement.
After everyone agreed on the agreement, they began to look for sand martens in this vast sea of sand.
Xin Chen and Yi Jing were originally extremely intolerant of this harsh environment, but after Ming Xuan's injury, they grew a lot, put away their arrogance, and didn't complain anymore, and Wu Huai was also familiar with the environment here, so they changed into local unique sand-proof clothes and hoods, blocking the wind and sand and keeping them warm, but it was not so uncomfortable.
"Everyone has to have enough eyesight, and when you see it from a distance, you have to hide it, don't let it find out, otherwise you won't be able to get close!" Wu Huai reminded repeatedly, the sand sable is too timid, and he has to be cautious.
The four of them are all dressed in earthy yellow clothes, which are similar to the surrounding environment, and also play a certain concealment role, but the sand sable is also like this, and it is not easy to find it from afar, not to mention that it is really troublesome to dance in the wind and sand everywhere.
"Senior Wu, could it be that the sand mink doesn't dare to come out during the day because of his timidity?"
"No! It's Zhong chūn now, the night is still too cold, and they don't want to come out at night to forage for food, so be patient and look for it!" Wu Huai said affirmatively, and he knew the sand mink's habits clearly.
"Hmm, Senior Wu, isn't that one?" Ming Xuan suddenly whispered, pointing to a small protrusion in the distance, which looked like an ordinary small mound.
"What, it's just a mound!" Everyone heard Ming Xuan say this, and immediately became interested, Dingqing looked at it, how to look at it, it was a mound, Yi Jing was suddenly very frustrated, and said dissatisfied.
"The wind and sand here are so big, do you think there will be such a protrusion abruptly?" Ming Xuan carefully analyzed, there was a flat patch everywhere, and it was indeed unusual to have such a protrusion.
"Well, it's really suspicious!" Wu Huaijiu also felt very strange when he lived here.
"No! That mound of dirt seems to be moving slightly! It should be a living thing!" Xin Chen took a closer look, and the result was really abnormal, and hurriedly beckoned everyone, and the four of them hurriedly lay down and stared at the small mound tightly.
After waiting for a while, the small mound of earth actually stretched out, revealing a thick and thick tail, and a small pointed head, which looked like a small squirrel, so it was sure to be a sand sable!
"Sure enough, it's a sand mink! Brother Gu has good eyesight!" Wu Huai said excitedly, he was a little incoherent, after waiting for such a long time, this time was the best chance to catch it, and the cure of the root of the disease was close at hand.
"I just think it's a little unusual, let's start according to the plan!" Ming Xuan's mood didn't have much turmoil, the perennial hunting habit, it was normal to find the prey, the key is to catch it.
The four of them began to slowly disperse around the sand martk, one person held one side, and then slowly leaned over, and when the distance was a little closer, they quietly stopped, at this time the four people were only more than ten meters away from the sand mink, but they could not continue to get closer, so as not to be alarmed by it, the wind and sand were still waving wantonly, and soon covered the four with a thin layer of sand, which was completely covered, and the four of them let the sand be buried, as long as the eyes and nose were exposed.
The sand sable stretched out its little head and looked around, its mouth was still chewing, it turned out that the reason why it was surrounded was also to avoid the surrounding wind and sand, and then put its head into the sand to find food in the sand. Since it was paying attention to the movements around it from time to time, seeing that the sand sable was so jǐng, the four of them didn't dare to move, but just stood quietly, waiting for it to approach before attacking.
Sure enough, after eating for a while, the food here seemed to have been eaten by the sand mink, it quickly swallowed the food, and began to look around again, slowly walking towards the oblique direction where Wu Huai and Ming Xuan were!
Seeing the sand sable walking towards this side, the two of them immediately tensed their nerves, and they secretly accumulated strength, ready to give it a thunderous blow! And as the sand sable slowly moved away from Yi Jing and Xin Chen's position, the two also took the opportunity to move forward a little, slowly shrinking the encirclement just in case.
The little guy stretched out his nose to look for it in the soil from time to time, but it still didn't seem to have any gains, and he suddenly turned around and went straight to Yi Jing! Things happened a little suddenly, and Yi Jing didn't expect it now, and there was some panic in his eyes, but he still quickly calmed down.
10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters, 7 meters...... The sand sable approached little by little, and Yi Jing could see it clearly now, but she was a little afraid to look at it, and narrowed her eyes to prevent being discovered by the sand mink, then all her efforts would be wasted!
Six meters, five meters, four meters! It was already within the range of Yi Jing's attack! She didn't hesitate at all, and jumped up violently! Straight to the sand mink! The other three people also rushed out one after another when they saw Yi Jing burst out, and quickly leaned towards the sand mink, cutting off its escape route!
Yi Jing castrated and hurried and fierce! The right hand was in the shape of a claw, straight to the neck of the sand mink!
This time it came down so suddenly, anyone would not be able to react, let alone a small sand mink, Yi Jing was confident that she would definitely not miss!
However, there are often no absolutes in the world! In such a critical situation, the sand sable suddenly shrank its head back, and its whole body immediately curled up into a ball! Yi Jing was not ambiguous, and immediately changed her moves! Grabbed it straight at the sand mink's body! As long as it was detained, it would definitely not be able to escape!
Yi Jing quickly approached! With her right hand, she grabbed the sand mink fiercely! When she touched the sand mink's fluff, she immediately tightened!
"Oh no!" Just when everyone thought that Yi Jing was going to succeed, she suddenly exclaimed, her right hand tightened, and it was actually empty! What she caught was only the long fur of the sand mink, and she didn't catch its body at all, and when Yi Jing was stunned, the sand sable immediately slipped into the sand!
"I'll dig it! Everyone jǐng feel around!" Wu Huai broke off and immediately took out a shovel and struggled to dig to the place where the sand marten was descending!
Since Wu Huai had already prepared, he did not delay for any time, and the cave where the sand mink traveled in the sand was still visible, although it was collapsing, it did not hinder Wu Huai's tracking!
"Everyone, pay attention to the surroundings! Spread out a little!" Ming Xuan said in a deep voice!
Wu Huai's digging speed is very fast! He has already practiced dealing with sand mink for a long time! But because of the addition of Ming Xuan and others, he no longer has to worry about running out of strength, and he digs violently at the beginning! Soon, he can already see the tail of the sand mink sneaking!
"Everyone, pay attention!" Ming Xuan shouted! Because the sand mink has shown its disadvantages in the sand, and if it is as smart as it, it will definitely not choose to sneak in the sand again, and may rush out at any time!
Just as Ming Xuan had just finished speaking, a yellow figure rushed out from his side! Rushing towards the periphery! That was the sand mink!
"Where to go!" Ming Xuan had already paid twelve points of attention, for this moment! Seeing Huang Sè's figure rushing out, he immediately moved! He also formed a claw with one hand, and went straight to the back of the neck of the sand mink who was about to run away! The castration was even more urgent and more fierce!
Ming Xuan grabbed the sand sable with one hand! It waved its limbs and kept kicking in the air, but it had already been grabbed by the back of Ming Xuan's neck, and it couldn't break free! It had been captured!
