Four hundred and twenty-nine chapters life hangs by a thread
"Slow down your breathing, lean forward, put your hind legs against the ground, aim, and pull the trigger gently..." Hong Tao used the scope of the rifle to cover the male lion's ears, and then silently recited the original story in his mind.
Pawei taught himself several important steps when shooting. The reason why he had to aim at the base of the ear instead of the forehead was because the integrity of the lion's skin was taken into consideration. Only by hitting the base of the ear can he kill with one shot without leaving any wounds on the skin.
life.
"Bang...!" A slightly dull gunshot sounded far away on the grassland. The male lion lying under the big tree was pushed directly from the root of the tree by the strong impact and rolled to the other side of the tree root.
On one side, only half of the body was exposed, still motionless, but the tail no longer waggled.
"Beautiful, you are a genius, dumpling!" Holland, who had been standing next to Hong Tao with a gun raised and ready to refill, slapped Hong Tao on the back, almost making Hong Tao fall over.
"Come on!!!" Hong Tao didn't care whether the Dutch were taking advantage of him. He rushed out with a gun in one hand, using all his strength on his legs and feet, and sprinted for 100 meters towards the big tree.
.
"Come back! Dumplings! Danger!" Holland didn't expect that Hong Tao still had such a large physical reserve to run so fast. When he realized it, he had already rushed out and could only shout loudly from behind.
"Danger your grandma! I'm a sharpshooter!" Hong Tao's brain was short-circuited at this time and he couldn't listen to any warning at all.
Although Hong Tao tried his best, he was not the first one to arrive under the big tree, and he did not even get the second place. The first one to arrive was the Marseille red warrior. He was like a
Red Light surpassed Hong Tao in just a few jumps; the second person to arrive was actually Wei Han, who was carrying a camera. Hong Tao couldn't figure it out, how could you, a cameraman, get your hair done so quickly!
The male lion was lying peacefully on his side under the big tree. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have noticed the wisp of blood flowing from his mane. Hong Tao's shot was very accurate, and it shot directly from the male lion's ear.
Entering in parallel, the bullet lost its balance after passing through the hard skull, directly mincing the male lion's brain like a grinder. Then it stayed in the skull without leaving any wounds on the other side.
.
"Dumpling, although your shot was perfect, I still have to criticize you. Never approach your prey rashly. Even if you are sure that it is killed, we have to confirm it first before we can get close.
This is our work code, you must abide by it!" Holland was a few steps slower than Hong Tao before he ran to the big tree. He didn't even take a breath before he began to educate Hong Tao with a straight face.
"OK! I won't do this next time, and I will pay attention to it in the future! I promise!" Hong Tao is not disgusted with Holland's seriousness in urinating. This is his job. The purpose is also to ensure the safety of his customers. No one wants a happy hunting operation to eventually turn into a
A tragedy.
"Okay, it won't be the same again. Remember, there are not only visible dangers here. The most dangerous ones are the ones you can't see. Just look above your head." Holland's attitude softened after hearing Hong Tao's answer.
Some, and then pointed at the top of Hong Tao's head.
"I
, it was not completely dead yet, it was twitching its body and coiling the spear several times.
"Is this a poisonous snake!?" Hong Tao glanced gratefully at the Maasai warrior. He was so focused on the dead lion that he didn't even know when the spear was inserted, and he ran away with him.
Wei Han was also dumbfounded at this time and asked embarrassedly.
"This is the most venomous snake in Africa, the black tree cobra. You may be unfamiliar with this name. It also has another name, the black mamba. Look at the inside of its mouth, which is all black." Holland pointed out.
Pointing at the snake on the tree trunk.
"I've heard of this name before. It's so surprising. How should I thank that Maasai warrior? What kind of gift would be more appropriate to give them?" Hong Tao broke into a cold sweat when he heard the name. Although he had never seen this kind of snake before,
But I have seen it in the animal world. It is said that this thing is very fast. As long as it attacks, generally no animals or people can.
Avoid it. The most terrifying thing is its venom. It is the most poisonous neurotoxin in the world. It is said that after being bitten by it, its mouth will not let go, and the bitten animal will be dead if it is alive.
In terms of toxicity, except for the newly discovered Australian species called Taipan, this African black tree cobra is the number one in the world.
"The best gift is that you give them less trouble. You are already a friend of their village. They will not accept gifts from you alone unless you have a very good reason. I am really jealous of your good luck.
, You have to know that I have been on this grassland for many years, and this is the first time I have been invited as a guest by the Maasai village. If I had these friends, my hunting guide job would be much easier!" Holland finally told the truth,
He is so envious and jealous, as if he doesn’t even hate me!
"Didn't we go to the Maasai village together? Don't they treat you as a friend?" Hong Tao felt a little surprised. Whether it's China or Europe or the United States, aren't people who come with friends all friends? It's the first time to meet each other anyway, so we still have a good relationship.
Who is lighter and who is heavier?
"If only, it would be great. They think we are all your followers. They will only recognize whoever the stick is for. Those guys wearing red sheets are all stubborn!" Holland was very resentful when he talked about this matter.
He was the one who took the initiative to deal with vehicle problems. Hong Tao just said a few nonsense words, but in the end the credit went to him, and he didn't have much use for the credit.
"Hahahaha, that's it. We have a saying in China: Blessed people don't have to be busy, unlucky people have their hearts broken!" Hong Tao likes to see other people being unlucky. When he saw Holland's expression of urinating, he
I forgot all about the snake bite that almost cost me my life. After spending a long time, I finally translated this Chinese proverb to Dutch Pee.
"Fxxx!" Sure enough, Holland's pissing made Hong Tao so angry that he even uttered curse words. If Hong Tao was not his client or his sister's landlord, he would really want to punch this proud face.
"Oops! Oops! Old Wei, don't be too busy taking pictures of that broken snake. Come on, come on, give me a pat. Hong Tao, give me your gun and I'll pose!" The fat boss didn't know when.
He also felt it. At this time, he didn't seem to be able to walk at all. He was washing his face with mineral water and posing with a gun. He was very busy.
"You move your feet away from the lion's head. If you step on the fur, you'll have to pay for it! I'm going to step on the butt!" Boss Liu deliberately stood a little further away, probably thinking about the lion skin.
Somewhere in the house, I saw the fat boss stepping on the lion's head to take pictures, so I immediately rushed over and pulled the fat boss away.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, I'm just going to take a picture. Who's taking a picture and stepping on the lion's butt? I'm stepping on it. It's not enough even if I'm stepping on it without exerting my strength. Old Wei, hurry up and take some pictures!" said the fat boss.
The face came back again, coaxing Boss Liu to the side, and continued to raise one foot to step on the lion's head, but this posture was a bit awkward, not like stepping on something, but like a golden rooster standing on its own.
After Boss Liu's hunting guide, Hoffman, asked Boss Liu's request clearly, he found two black staff and quickly skinned the lion, leaving only the huge lion's head still attached.
On the skin, the only damaged parts are the four lion feet. Due to the peeling process, the feet cannot be completely peeled off. It can be regarded as a flaw. If Boss Liu wanted the entire specimen, this problem would not exist.
.
In view of the very good luck today, several hunting guides discussed it and asked for the opinion of the Maasai warrior. They finally decided not to return to the camp to rest. They sent someone back to drive the off-road vehicle over, right under this big tree.
Set up a simple tent, have some lunch, and then continue tracking the next target: white rhino.
