Chapter 2: Slowing the Furious Spirit (2)
Hearing the order of the beast spirit speaker, Xiaobai stretched out his arm to grop behind him, but his torso did not dare to move at all.
He stared at the pack of wolves near the hillside, fearing that he would disturb them.
"[Herd] is not afraid." Bell said calmly: "[Herd] The wolf will not see you."
After receiving the instructions of the Beast Spirit Speaker, Xiaobai became a little bolder. He leaned over and climbed in front of the Beast Spirit Speaker, lay on the hillside and slowly unfolded his bipod, slowly inserted it into the soil, and held it with his hands.
Bell's shotgun "stand" was specially made to shoot on slopes.
The commonly used mesh rope guns in the army are difficult to hold on if they are not supported by iron forks. The hunting rifle given to Bell by Winters and Anna has a larger body than the military mesh rope gun.
Although we have lost weight as much as possible, it is almost impossible to hit accurately without support, just one pair of arms is used to hold the gun.
The Great Wilderness is full of ups and downs, stretching hillsides, and only grass grows.
Unlike in the forest, you can hold the gun by finding a branch and shooting down from the grass slope, and nine out of ten times can't find anything that can hold the gun.
Shooting in a lying position, the field of vision is too limited.
So the little hunter specially asked someone to make a portable bracket. Unlike the ordinary iron fork rack, his bracket has two feet that can be opened and closed, and it is made of wood, making it more stable and lighter.
Bell picked up the shotgun from his knees, placed it gently on the bracket, his shoulders firmly against the stock, and his fingers put the trigger on the trigger.
He felt the breath of the wasteland, measured the distance between himself and the target with his eyes, determined the wind direction and wind power based on the ups and downs of the grass waves. The hunting rifle in his hand gradually became a part of his body. He had imagined where the lead bullet landed. He waited patiently, waiting for the wolves to get closer and closer.
The wolves in their sight became clearer and clearer, and they could almost see the dewdrops condensed on their fluffy hair.
Dabai and Xiaobai didn't even dare to show their energy. They felt that the time had become extremely long, and they did not dare to do anything. They were afraid of disturbing the beast spirit speakers, and they were afraid of scaring the prey. They could only pray to the sky silently in their hearts.
It was not until the wolves walked up the hill, and the distance between the two sides was only two hundred steps away. When the giant wolf that was leading suddenly stopped, Bel Ralphnovic Pradov pulled the trigger steadily.
The lead bullet shot in from the middle of the giant wolf's eyes, shattering the base of the skull and cervical vertebrae all the way, and finally flew out from above the spine with flesh and blood.
The giant wolf shivered for a moment, fell head-on, and immediately stopped moving.
The other adult wolf in the wolves and the remaining two sub-adult wolfs immediately turned their heads and fled to the future.
The grassland at dawn was also awakened by the thunderous gunshots, and a large number of birds were shocked in the woodland in the distance.
"Is it a hit in [Heder]?" Xiaobai, who was lying on the ground holding the bracket, could not see anything, and asked in a hurry: "Is it a hit in [Heder]?"
"[Herd] Gun." Bellley landed on the ground and put it on his side, and reached out to Dabai.
"[Hedd] is hit! Don't move!" Dabai answered his younger brother, and the spare hunting rifle was presented to the Beast Spirit Speaker. The three of them brought a total of three guns, all of whom loaded ammunition in advance, and they could shoot at any time.
Xiaobai, who was anxious to wait, heard the gray-haired beast that had caused so many lambs that had suffered a few four slaps were killed. He was ecstatic and couldn't help but say "Hi" and slapped his palms hard on the ground.
However, as soon as his hand left the foot of the gun rack, the gun rack immediately fell to the bottom of the hillside. Xiaobai couldn't react and wanted to make up for it, but it was too late. The foot on the other side also stuck out from his hand. The gun rack that was removed from his hand rolled down the hillside and slid to a place more than ten meters away.
Dabai was stunned. Bell, who had taken the backup shotgun, did not hesitate. He corrected himself sitting on his legs, and used his knees to support his arm to hold the shotgun, aiming at the fleeing wolf pack.
Xiaobai knew that he had made a mistake and wanted to make up for it as soon as possible, but when he saw the location of the gun stand, he knew that it was too late.
He gritted his teeth, got up, knelt on one knee to the beast spirit speaker, and carried the gun body of the hunting rifle with his right shoulder.
Bell and Xiaobai looked at each other briefly.
Bell, who was not surprised that Xiaobai accidentally threw away the gun mount, raised his eyebrows in surprise at this moment.
Xiaobai held the barrel with both hands and grinned and waited for the loud noise that would definitely make him dizzy and tinnitus.
"[Herd] Don't move." Bell whispered.
Then he pulled the trigger.
Another thunderous gunshot was rushing towards the wolf pack running wildly towards the woodland. The adult wolf running in the front suddenly staggered.
The bullet shot into its back half of its body, and the impact and severe pain made it swing around in place before falling down. It lay on the ground, rolling in pain, making a shrill wail.
Dabai immediately handed over the third shotgun and patted his younger brother on the back. Xiaobai looked at his brother and nodded, lowered his head and gave up his sight, waiting for the third gunshot.
However, Bell, who had already aimed at the target, did not pull the trigger in the end, and watched the two sub-adult wolf heads escape into the forest without looking back.
Both Dabai and Xiaobai showed confusion.
Bell raised the gun, fired the third shot into the open space, and handed the shotgun back to Dabai.
"[Herd] Now the wolf is a male and a female, who leads some cubs to kill the big ones, and the younger ones will not dare to come again," said Bell. "[Herd] will bring them to the horse."
Xiaobai got up and ran behind the hillside. After a while, he led the horse over. In order to prevent the wolf from being discovered, they hid the horse in a relatively far place.
The three of them put away their hunting rifles, rode their horses, and galloped down the hillside, first reaching the giant wolf's corpse.
Dabai, Xiaobai turned over and got off the horse, and sighed: "[Hed] What a big gray-haired beast!"
The two of them grabbed the giant wolf's head and touched it on their forehead three times.
Then Dabai pulled out his small knife, cut off the giant wolf's tongue, and respectfully handed it to the beast spirit speaker, because the Heds had the custom of collecting the tongues of the beasts they had killed and drying them into amulets.
"[Herd] an amazing creature." Dabai tried hard to say auspicious words: "[Herd] will definitely be a great spell."
But Bell shook his head with uninterested interest: "[Hed] Please keep it."
“[Herd] It must be useful if you kill it yourself.”
"[Herd] This wolf was killed by you and I."
Dabai thought about it and put his tongue back into the giant wolf's mouth without any nostalgia. He and his brother carried the giant wolf's body to their horse's back, and then walked to the place where the second wolf fell to death.
Unexpectedly, the second wolf that was hit on the waist was not dead. It was lying in its pool of blood with its eyes open, twitching gently.
Dabai looked at the beast spirit speaker.
Bell nodded.
Dabai stepped forward with a knife, ending the wolf's pain.
This time, Dabai and his younger brother worked together to put the wolf corpse on Xiaobai's horse's back, turned their heads and asked, "[Heder] Can you still hunt tomorrow?"
Bell looked at the vast wasteland in the morning light: "[Herd] truce, for the time being."

[Shovel Lake West Bank]
[Wenduoer's Old Camp]
News of the victory of the Beast Spirit Speaker's return spread throughout the camp instantly, and almost all men, women, young and old came out to greet them.
The children were playing and playing, and ran around behind the butt of the horse carrying the wolf corpse; the women covered their noses with their cuffs to block the stinky smell of the wolf corpse, and looked at the teeth exposed in the wolf's mouth curiously and fearfully; the men who rushed back from outside the camp praised the giant wolf's size and showed a look of relief - these days, these gray-haired beasts have caused peace in the grazing ground. The camp had to separate more children to guard the group of animals at night. Now, they can finally have a good sleep.
The old people bowed to the beast spirit speakers on their chests.
Xiaobai was riding a horse in the middle of the crowd, feeling honored and unconsciously raised his chest.
Dabai's expression also had a faint look of pride.
Although they did not pull the trigger for shooting the evil wolf, these two wolf corpses were undoubtedly the final result of their tireless search for the traces of the wolf pack during this period.
Bell just nodded and gave a greeting to the old people, with a calm expression.
Chapter completed!
