Chapter 319 Hunting by the Sea
"It should be like this, but we still can't be careless. Now we should change the route and try to stay as far away from them as possible," Feishenko suggested. He is not afraid of trouble, but in order to help Xiaoqian catch the Arctic fox as soon as possible, he does not want to provoke these people. Necessary trouble.
"Okay, let's take a detour," Liang Yong nodded.
After resting for half an hour, the sled hit the road again, but slightly changed its route, instead heading towards the snowfield to the east to avoid the hidden enemies in the west.
Four days later, they arrived at the predetermined hunting spot. Beyond that was the vast sea. The snow here was thicker, and the sea in the distance was already frozen. The weather was getting colder. Everyone was fully clothed in armed coats, with fur hats on their heads. She hugged her face with a scarf and wore airtight goggles on her eyes. She was still shivering from the cold. Every few steps she had to stop to catch her breath and rest. Liang Yong now helps Xiaoqian expel the poison from her body every four hours. of cold poison.
On the contrary, the group of Huskies were particularly active in the snow, pulling the sled and running like crazy without feeling cold at all.
They camped on a small slope facing the sea, compacted the snow into a high hill, and then dug a snow nest inside. This was much easier than building a house in ordinary times. After digging out the snow nest, they went in and built a house. The walls were solid and soon became frozen and solid.
Before dark, they dug out two adjacent snow dens, each with an area of six or seven square meters. They unloaded the equipment from the sleds and spread the prepared blankets on the ground in a thick layer. Even the walls and ceiling of the room where Qian was resting were covered with blankets. After the completion, the inside of the snow nest was much warmer than the outside.
The rest of the equipment was also moved into the two snow nests, including a large amount of food, hunting tools, large barrels of fuel and kerosene stoves. That night, the four of them had dinner around the stove and fell asleep early. There was a blanket hanging at the mouth of the snow nest, and there were still It is sealed with an erected sled, so that there is no need to be intruded by wild beasts in the middle of the night. There are supplies and the group of Huskies in the other snow nest, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by wild beasts.
Early the next morning, when Liang Yong and the others walked out of the snow nest, the sun shone brightly from the sea level in the distance. It snowed again last night. The half-foot-thick fresh snow completely covered up the traces left by their activities yesterday, but the snow There are also many fresh footprints left in the ground, which are left by animals that come out at night. The closer you go to the sea, the more traces the animals leave.
Feishenko and Liang Yong carried shotguns and walked to the seaside. Katyusha also led six dogs to climb up the mountain ridge in the distance. They are all excellent hunters and know where to hunt animals. The remaining six A guard dog guards Xiaoqian and her equipment.
After dropping the bait on a bay beach that was not completely frozen, Liang Yong and the two of them lay down in the snow nest with guns in hand and waited patiently.
After a while, seabirds flew over to peck at them. This was not the target Liang used them to capture, but he could not let it go. Feishenko's hiding place was closer to the bait.
He quietly shot several seabirds with crossbow arrows, and did not harvest the carcasses. He just let the seabirds die there, so that other seabirds would no longer dare to come to look for food. This would attract other carnivores. Opportunities for animals.
Just one day passed, except for a few small animals that ran over to eat seaweed, no other animals were seen, let alone the arctic fox that Liang Yong was looking forward to.
Don't rush, this kind of thing requires patience, wild animals are very cunning.
Returning to the snow nest in the evening, Katyusha had come back early. She showed her harvest to Liang Yong with excitement. There were four fat snow rabbits and several snow chickens. These were all the work of the Huskies. She The bear traps set up are not yet effective.
However, none of them ate the game. The food they brought was enough to sustain them for two weeks. The things Katyusha caught were used as fresh bait by Feishenko and were thrown into the nearby snow overnight to cause harm to the animals. A feeling of abundant food can slowly attract the attention of more animals, and then the Arctic fox will definitely appear.
At night, Liang Yong took the time to help Xiaoqian get rid of the cold poison in her body. Although there was no gain in the day, Liang Yong became more confident. He had sniffed out the traces of the Arctic fox, but the guy was very vigilant now and was far away. It's just too far away to be traced.
In this winter when food is increasingly depleted, Liang Yong believes that it will eventually be attracted by the rich bait.
For three days in a row, Liang Yong and Feishenko got nothing. Katyusha, who went hunting in the distant mountains, had more and more harvests day by day. In the end, she had to take a dog sled there every day to transport back the large amount of prey she had hunted. One day she even captured a live reindeer.
This is a good thing. Deer blood contains a lot of energy. The three of them felt much warmer after drinking the deer blood that night. Liang Yong directly refined the deer blood and transformed it into yang energy and added it to Xiaoqian's body. Tian Xiaoqian's condition is very good, and the cold poison generated in her body has been neutralized by the deer's blood.
The reindeer was not killed, so Liang Yong tied it up and threw it outside the snow cave. He also fed it some food every day and planned to keep it for long-term use. Now that he has not caught the Arctic fox, he will use deer blood to help Xiaoqian get rid of the cold poison the next day. Good choice.
Another early morning, when they arrived at the lurking site, Liang Yong showed a look of surprise. He felt that the Arctic fox had appeared here last night. Although the bait left at the scene was eaten by many animals, Liang Yong could still distinguish it. Xiao Yanzi has detailed information on Arctic foxes and has already taught Liang Yong so that he can memorize them very well.
In the evening, they still returned empty-handed. After dinner, they helped Xiaoqian get rid of the cold poison. In the middle of the night, Liang Yong suddenly sat up and winked at Feishenko, who had already woken up. The two quietly left the snow nest with guns in hand and asked He lurked past the ambush site without even disturbing the Huskies resting next to him.
An hour later, they saw a red dot flashing in front of them, two blue eyes looking this way, and then they ran towards the bait.
"Arctic fox," Feishenko excitedly raised his gun and took aim. The figure of the Arctic fox could be clearly seen in the night vision goggles.
"Wait a minute, I feel there are foxes nearby. One of them is very big. It should be the Millennium Arctic Fox." Liang Yong suddenly pulled Feishenko, squinted his eyes and activated the Peach Blossom Magic, and his spiritual sense moved towards the Millennium Arctic. The direction of the fox is explored in the past.
The one in front of you is just an Arctic fox that is less than a hundred years old, and its effectiveness after refining is limited.
After probing for a while, Liang Yong shook his head and sighed: "That guy is very alert and has been hiding outside my detection range."
