Three figures walked out from behind a big tree, looking around with sharp eyes.
It has been a day and night since he entered the mountain, but to Zheng Haotian's disappointment, he did not find any large animals. Not to mention the tigers and leopards that he has long admired, even the dominant bears and wolves in Xionglang Mountain have not been seen.
Along the way, all they encountered were some small animals.
Of course, they didn't get nothing. Under a withered tree, they collected some precious mushrooms. If these things were sent to the city, they could be sold for a lot of money. However, such good things do not happen all the time.
arrived, so their focus was still on hunting.
Suddenly, Lin Ting, who was walking at the front, waved his hand, and Yu Weihua and Zheng Haotian stopped immediately.
"Look." Lin Ting took a step forward and pointed at the ground, his expression extremely serious.
Yu Weihua stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully identified it for a moment. His nose twitched a few times, and his face became a little ugly.
A gray figure jumped out of the basket behind Yu Weihua. It was Xiaoyu, the squirrel he had raised for two years.
The little body spun around on the ground, and the little squirrel suddenly jumped onto Yu Weihua's shoulder, and its body started to tremble slightly.
Since entering the mountain, this was the first time Zheng Haotian saw the two of them with such heavy expressions, and Xiao Yu's behavior was also very different from what he usually saw, and he couldn't help but be deeply affected.
"What's wrong?" he asked cautiously.
Lin Ting said in a deep voice: "Haotian, we may be in trouble."
"What trouble?"
"There are wolves around here." Lin Ting pointed to the ground and said: "There are footprints and excrement of wolves walking here. Judging from the marks left on it and the hardness of the excrement, they have not passed much time.
Long. Moreover, their number should be more than six."
Zheng Haotian's eyes suddenly lit up.
On Xionglang Mountain, the most famous beasts are bears and wolves.
Their individual combat effectiveness may not be the most powerful, but among a huge mountain range, their overall strength is well deserved to be ranked first.
Zheng Haotian has already seen how powerful the bear is. Although two years have passed since that night, he still remembers it fresh.
If it hadn't been for his father's trap, and if it hadn't been for the experienced veteran hunter Yu Jiansheng in the village, then their village might have ceased to exist like countless villages that once existed but disappeared due to various reasons.
Although the wolves in Xionglang Mountain cannot compare with bears in terms of individual strength, they are truly social creatures. In the mountains, no matter what kind of ferocious birds and beasts they are, as long as they encounter a group of wolves, they will
There is only one way to escape.
"Six wild wolves, we should be able to handle them." Zheng Haotian asked enthusiastically.
Lin Ting said solemnly: "If there are only six wild wolves, the three of us can naturally handle them easily, but we are afraid that the number of wolves will be more than six."
Yu Weihua smiled hoarsely and said: "Lin Ting, after all, we haven't entered the deep mountains here yet. Although there are wolves in this area, they are the smallest wolf packs and cannot exceed ten."
Zheng Haotian was slightly startled and said, "Isn't this a deep mountain?"
Yu Weihua and Lin Ting looked at each other. Lin Ting gave the outspoken Yu Weihua a hard look and said: "Of course this is a deep mountain, but there are endless mountains in the mountains, and there are also mountains deeper than here."
Zheng Haotian suddenly understood. He nodded his head and lowered his head to study the wolf footprints and feces.
Yu Weihua stuck out his tongue and made an apology gesture.
Although the two of them can be considered extremely daring, they would never dare to enter the real deep mountains and old forests when they took Zheng Haotian into the mountains.
Of course, the place where they are now can be considered a deep mountain, and the chance of encountering ferocious beasts in such a place is much greater than at the foot of the mountain.
"Do you want to take a detour?" Lin Ting, who is always known for his stability, asked in a deep voice.
"No need." Yu Weihua said angrily: "The three of us have developed true energy, and our skills are better than most hunters. We can definitely deal with a pack of less than ten wolves."
Lin Ting frowned slightly, glanced at Zheng Haotian who was eager to try, his eyes fell on the mace in his hand, and finally nodded slowly.
Even if he and Yu Weihua join forces to kill a pack of less than ten wolves, they should be able to kill them, let alone adding another Zheng Haotian.
"Haotian, let's set up the trap together." Lin Ting smiled and said: "Weihua, we'll see how good you are later."
Yu Weihua chuckled, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I promise I won't let you down."
Zheng Haotian glanced at the two of them inexplicably, but seeing that they both looked confident, he didn't say anything more.
Anyway, my father has taught me a long time ago that when it comes to things that you are not good at, you should watch more, listen more and talk less, so that you can learn real skills.
Lin Ting reached out and pulled out a short hoe from his back and started digging on the ground.
Zheng Haotian naturally did not dare to neglect, and with a quick glance, he began to set up other traps.
This was not the first time that Lin Ting had done this kind of thing in the mountains. He was naturally familiar with the roads. Although it was Zheng Haotian's first time in the mountains, he had a rich family background and his attainments in this area were far beyond what ordinary people could match. It only took a moment. After a few minutes, there were five more unique traps on the ground.
Nodding with satisfaction, Lin Ting said: "These traps are enough to deal with the small wolves in this area. As long as two of them can work, the remaining wolves will not be scary."
Yu Weihua withdrew his envious eyes from the trap and said: "Haotian, you have obtained Uncle Zheng's true biography."
Lin Ting nodded with deep sympathy and said: "Compared with the traps you set, mine is not good enough. If you take the hunter's assessment right now, I'm afraid you can pass with this unique skill alone."
Zheng Haotian smiled, he scratched his scalp, and a trace of red flashed across his face.
In the past two years, in addition to practicing Qi, boxing and archery, he has basically devoted all his time to the study and research of family heirlooms. His attainments in traps are no longer inferior to Zheng Chenglian's. .
This is the biggest benefit after practicing martial arts. Apart from some lack of experience, his basic skills are quite solid.
The sun slowly set towards the west, and gradually, even the last ray of light disappeared.
At this time, Yu Weihua had already collected a lot of dry branches, and the three of them worked together to clear a clean place.
Lin Ting and Yu Weihua skillfully set up a shelf, lit the dead branches, and tied up the pheasant leg feathers with iron bars, placed them on the shelf and slowly smoked them.
Soon, a scent suddenly filled the air and spread out in the forest.
Lin Ting looked around and whispered: "Fortunately it's not summer now, otherwise we wouldn't dare to light a fire easily in the jungle."
Zheng Haotian's heartbeat was much faster than usual. He was a little expectant and a little excited, but only he knew that a feeling he had never experienced seemed to spread in his heart at an even faster speed.
This was a strange feeling that he couldn't control.
His hands and feet were trembling slightly, and the mace that was originally as light as weight seemed to have become much heavier.
Taking a deep breath, he realized that he had to say something, otherwise the end that awaited him would not be very good.
"Will they come?"
The moment these words were spoken, even Zheng Haotian himself was startled, because his voice was like his limbs, trembling slightly uncontrollably.
"I will definitely come." Yu Weihua said confidently: "The name Xionglang Mountain is not called for nothing. As long as it is a place where wolves pass by, other beasts rarely stay there. The time these wolves pass by is not long.
Long, as long as you smell these fragrances, you will definitely come back."
Lin Ting was slightly startled, glanced at Zheng Haotian, gave him a smile and said, "Haotian, what are you worried about? Don't worry, even Weihua and I can easily deal with a few evil wolves.
"
Zheng Haotian forced a smile and nodded heavily. He was secretly resentful in his heart. Didn't he try his best to hunt in the mountains? In his plan, he had to kill at least one wolf with his own hands for the first hunting. This was not the case.
It feels like an insult to my hard training over the past two years.
However, when things came to a close, his hands and feet became weak. Looking at the two companions talking and laughing in front of him, he felt even more ashamed.
"Ouch..."
In the distance, a terrifying wolf howl suddenly came.
After hearing this voice, Zheng Haotian and the other three were all shocked in their hearts, and even Yu Weihua and Lin Ting's faces became solemn.
Although they kept saying that they did not take the wolves to heart, when they actually encountered the wolves, they did not dare to show any indifference.
Yu Weihua patted the basket gently, and the little squirrel immediately came out with a chirping sound, and immediately ran to hide in the surrounding trees.
A burst of rustling footsteps slowly began to sound, which was the sound of creatures stepping on fallen leaves. Although it was very light, it was so obvious in this darkening night.
A faint and bloody aura began to float here.
Yu Weihua and Lin Ting counted silently in their hearts. Their expressions suddenly changed. The number of wolves was wrong.
According to their estimation, even if there were wolves in this area, there could not be more than ten. However, the number of wolves approaching at this time was obviously more than ten...
