The hardest part of hunting is not how to kill the prey, but how to find it.
Without experience, if you wander around in the mountains trying to get lucky, even if you occasionally get something, you will starve to death sooner or later.
As an experienced hunter, since Uncle Qiao Qi has discovered the traces of the wolves, it is impossible to find them.
It only took more than an hour for Yun Chao and his party to climb a hill.
Hiding behind the bushes, looking down at the wolves resting in the col below, Yun Chao frowned involuntarily.
Like the group of wild boars hunted the day before yesterday, this small pack of eight or nine wolves also took shelter in a warmer place.
However, unlike the small valley where the wild boars stayed, the mountain col where the wolves stayed was relatively open, and it was impossible to make dumplings at both ends.
Wolves are very cunning and smart. They don't go straight like wild boars. Once they run away, it's good to kill one of them, let alone hunt down the entire pack.
Running against wolves in the mountains, Yun Chao still didn't feel that his group was that powerful.
Fortunately, there was Uncle Qiao. Now that he knew that Yun Chao had no intention of annihilating all the wolves, he had a way to hunt down a few of them.
Qiao Qishu's experience is really rich, and he leads everyone to take advantage of the disadvantage.
Although the wolf's sense of smell is sensitive, it is impossible to smell Yun Chao's scent from a certain distance upwind.
Before everyone took action, Yun Chao called everyone behind the hill: "Now you all start picking up branches and leaves, like this..."
All the boys are confused. They are about to hunt wolves. Why do you want us to pick up these dead branches and leaves?
Do you want to use them to light a fire and smoke the wolf?
Faced with everyone's doubts, Yun Chao didn't bother to explain and just asked everyone to do what they did.
Even Uncle Qiao Qi was confused and seriously suspected that Yun Chao had some kind of mental disorder: "Brother Chao, do you want to do this?"
Yeah!
All the boys nodded, got it!
Who is Brother Chao?
How could the boy who was scattering wealth in front of the Bodhisattva kill the wolf in the same way as an ordinary hunter? There must be something unique about him!
Once the spell is cast, the sky will be blocked, the sun will be blocked, sand will fly, and rocks will fly. Not to mention wolves, even monsters will have to kneel down!
When everyone had picked up almost everything, Yun Chao started to cast the "spell".
Unfortunately, Yun Chao's spells disappointed everyone, and there was nothing special.
After struggling with Wang Shitou for a while, when he stopped, Wang Shitou had turned into a leaf man.
His whole body was covered with dead branches and leaves, and even his head was covered with a grass ring made of branches.
All the boys were scratching their heads, why are they doing this? Do they want to imitate the legendary wizard and ask the gods to come over to them?
Only Uncle Qiao was thoughtful...
When Yun Chao asked Wang Shitou to lie on the ground, Uncle Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Brother Chao, I understand. If you do this, the wolf won't be able to find us, right?"
That's right, what Yun Chao made was a simple camouflage suit, also called a ghillie suit.
In the early years, when Uncle Qiao Qi was hunting, he used to cover himself with leaves, but that was just covering leaves, unlike Yun Chao, who stuck branches and leaves directly on his clothes.
The advantage of the ghillie suit is obvious. It can be moved at will, and the movement it makes is relatively small, making it difficult to detect.
"Come on, you all follow my example, work in pairs, combine with each other, and help each other. You must be careful and not careless..."
There is nothing difficult about the Geely Suit. It is just an idea, just a layer of membrane, which can be broken with a poke.
Soon, everyone’s ghillie suits were ready.
Even Yun Chao and Uncle Qiao are no exception.
"Uncle Qiao, we can start now."
Under the command of Uncle Qiao, the boys were divided into two groups and moved to two locations on the mountain col.
Uncle Qiao Qi told Yun Chao that there were the most footprints in these two directions, indicating that wolves often passed through these two places.
When people are escaping, they will subconsciously run to places they are familiar with. The same goes for wolves, who generally follow the roads they are familiar with.
Half an hour later.
Everyone moved into position.
Yun Chao threw out a pheasant he had prepared in advance.
Yun Chao lay down behind the bushes and threw a pheasant with a stone tied to its leg to the hillside below.
The pheasant was still alive because it was hit by a crossbow in its leg. As soon as it was thrown out by Yun Chao, it struggled desperately to regain its freedom.
Unfortunately, the pheasant's leg was already injured, and now a stone was tied to it. No matter how hard he struggled, he could only move slowly with the stone.
Not only could they not escape, they also made a lot of noise.
At this time, the wolves in the col were alarmed.
The wolves were very alert, and even though they were hundreds of meters away, they still spotted the pheasants on the hillside.
Although wolves are nature's top hunters, they cannot often hunt large prey such as wild boars and goats.
Small animals such as pheasants and hares are their main food source.
If they find something delicious, how can the wolves let it go so easily?
What's more, this delicious pheasant seemed to be injured.
Whether it was injured by a fall or bitten by another beast, since it was discovered by us, it is now ours!
Wolves don't talk about first come, first served. The nature of nature is about the law of the jungle. Being weak is the original sin. You are guilty of being killed, and you are guilty of being robbed of your prey!
The alpha wolf whined softly, and the two wolves stood up.
They slowly surrounded the hillside from the left and right directions.
For a pheasant, there is no need to send out so many wolves. It consumes too much energy and is completely outweighed by the gain.
Hunting, like doing business, has costs.
If the energy consumed by hunting is greater than the energy replenished by prey, then the hunting operation is a loss.
To kill a pheasant, at most two wolves would be needed, and any more would be uneconomical.
Although the pheasant looked easy to bully, the two wolves were still very careful.
They slowly approached the hillside from both left and right directions.
They waited until they were close to a distance of seven or eight meters and were spotted by the pheasants before they suddenly launched an attack!
The injured pheasant couldn't run away at all, and the two wolves pounced on it almost at the same time.
One of the wolves opened its bloody mouth and bit the pheasant on the neck!
At this moment, behind the bushes on the hill, Uncle Qiao made an attack gesture.
The boys had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When Uncle Qiao sent the signal, they immediately triggered the crossbow!
In order not to be discovered by the wolves, everyone hid very secretly, not to mention they were all wearing Dawu Dynasty version of auspicious clothes.
Boom boom boom boom…
Six crossbow arrows were shot out from behind the bushes almost simultaneously, three of them were shot at the wolf on the left, and the other three were shot at the wolf on the right!
