Yuan Bao followed Lu Lu, looking back constantly as he walked, and from time to time he turned back and whined fiercely at the forest.
This was something Lu Lu had never seen on Yuan Bao before, and he was a little baffled for a while.
However, he could see that Yuan Bao was very cautious at this time and couldn't help but look back at the trees, but found nothing.
With the way Cannon Egg is bumping along the way, it can't go very fast.
But Lu Lu and Liang Kangbo had gone a long way, yet Yuan Bao still looked so defensive.
Could it be that you are following?
When this idea popped into Lu Lu's mind, he was shocked.
Not to mention carnivorous beasts that stalk in order to hunt prey, even grass-eating beasts will stalk in order to find a female. They can't distinguish footprints, but they are quite sensitive to smells and sounds.
This cannon egg has a very mixed diet and will eat anything it can eat. It can also hunt small animals.
The reason why Lu Lu was startled by his thoughts was because he had a feeling that he had become a prey.
"Brother Liang, something is wrong!" Lu Lu said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Liang Kangbo had no special feelings. He just felt that this forest was so dense and difficult to walk through.
"Yuan Bao's reaction is wrong..." Lu Lu stopped.
Yuan Bao, who stopped right after him, immediately looked back and whined again.
Liang Kangbo looked at Yuan Bao, then looked back at the approaching forest. After thinking for a moment, his expression gradually became solemn: "You mean, that cannon egg is following us now?"
Walking aimlessly in the direction of the two people is not called following, but following them intentionally is called following.
"I think we are being targeted!" Lu Lu said seriously.
He looked around, his eyes fell on the footprints left by walking on the thick layer of humus under his feet, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
They all came from the same direction, and the traces left behind by the two of them also had smells.
If Cannon Egg followed, it would most likely be following the footprints left behind.
On heavy snow days, food can be found covered by thick layers of snow. The sensitivity of wild boar's sense of smell should not be underestimated.
"Are we thinking too much?" Liang Kangbo frowned slightly and scratched his forehead.
Lu Lu didn't dare to be careless: "I don't feel at ease in my heart!"
"This forest is not small and not suitable for shooting. What should we do?"
Sometimes people's intuition is very accurate, and Liang Kangbo himself didn't think so, but since Lu Lu felt uneasy, he also felt that it was better to go with it.
Lu Lu glanced around, and finally turned to look at the mountain: "Let's go up the slope."
It is much drier at high places, and the trees gradually become smaller. It is easier to detect noises below when you are at a high altitude. Even if you encounter a situation, it is easier to deal with than in a place like this where even walking is difficult.
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he immediately turned to climb to a higher place, and Liang Kangbo followed immediately.
After climbing a hundred meters up in one breath, Lu Lu stopped, took a breath, and looked back diagonally downward: "Don't make any noise, let's take a look."
As he spoke, he slowly climbed up an oak tree nearby, then squatted on the branches and gently pushed aside the branches and leaves, and looked down into the forest for more than two minutes. The sound of a tree shaking attracted Lu Lu's attention.
That's where they walked before.
There were trees covering the area, so Lu Lu could not see the figure of the cannon egg hidden underneath, but the sound it made by walking and stopping, shaking the bushes from time to time, was indeed following the route Lu Lu and Liang Kangbo walked through the forest, and
Don't walk slowly.
Lu Lu's expression became more serious, he was clearly following him.
When seeing a person, they don't think about running away, but will take the initiative to attack the cannon eggs, and they don't even know how they suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Lu Lu still remembered what Liang Kangbo heard from others when he met Liang Kangbo in the woods in the morning.
If they are discovered and targeted first, they will definitely be caught off guard.
Finally, in a small clearing among the trees, Lu Lu, who was looking down from a high position, saw the appearance of the cannon egg.
When he saw the cannon egg, Lu Lu couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. This was even more frightening than when he saw the big claw in the deep mountains, and he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
He just couldn't figure out how a wild boar could grow so big. Except for its slightly shorter legs and feet, it was about the same size as a cow.
The blue-black mane stood upright like steel needles, and the body was covered with a thick layer of mud. There were traces of tumbling in the ravine that I saw before, and it should have been contaminated at that time.
The hunched shoulders really looked like they were sitting on a hill. Especially the two tusks protruding from the long mouth. Lu Lu even wondered whether they were ivory or pig tusks.
It's just that if the head is cut off and weighed, it won't lose a hundred pounds.
Those who have seen wild boars weighing more than 300 to 400 kilograms before are completely incomparable in terms of their stoutness and size in front of it, and they are at least twenty centimeters shorter.
This weight, even if it is less than 400 kilograms, is probably not much different.
What about cannon eggs weighing over a thousand kilograms?
It was so thick that Lu Lu even doubted whether he could hurt it with the power of his semi-automatic rifle.
What chilled Lu Lu the most was that when the cannon egg walked to the place where the two of them turned towards the hillside, he lowered his head and sniffed, tried hard to look up, and followed up with a squeak.
I came to kill this cannon egg. After tracking it for such a long time, I stepped forward to intercept it, but instead it turned out that I was being followed by the cannon egg.
Hunting and being hunted has become a game that even Lu Lu cannot be sure of.
He carefully came down from the tree, and when he saw Liang Kangbo listening attentively to what was going on below, he knew that he also knew that the cannon eggs were coming.
"Go quickly!"
Lu Lu whispered something, picked up the semi-automatic, and continued to climb up the mountain.
Liang Kangbo also hurriedly followed.
After watching this, the distance was reduced to less than a hundred meters. They had to speed up and walk up the mountain as much as possible to find a favorable hunting site.
The ancestor of the Northeastern wild boar is said to be the giant wild boar that once spread all over the world but is now extinct. It is very common for those animals to weigh more than a thousand kilograms.
Lu Lu couldn't imagine that kind of scene.
But wild boars wandering in the wilderness can usually reach about 300 kilograms, and they are already very old wild boars. There are only a few cannon eggs with this size and weight that are still increasing, and they are the wild boar kings.
direction of development.
Lu Lu's fear probably stemmed from the barbaric aura and oppression brought by the size of the cannon's egg.
Fortunately, this is a solitary pig, a solitary pig wandering around alone.
Lu Lu once heard a hunter say that if it were October, when it was mating season, pigs of all sizes would be surrounded by such king-level cannon eggs, ranging from dozens to more than a hundred.
There are large areas all over the mountains and plains, everywhere. It is an extremely wild scene, and it is also an extremely terrifying scene.
Even the big claws, in that case, can only run away. Otherwise, let alone hunting, once it gets caught in a herd of pigs, just trampling on it can kill it.
The choice of species is always to accommodate the strongest.
However, Lu Lu once doubted whether they could survive the thousands of kilograms of cannon eggs and the two to three hundred kilograms of female wild boars.
It has to bear thousands of pounds of weight and impact, and it is too stressful.
He even once doubted whether there were such big cannon eggs... Seeing this one today, he completely believed it.
Facing such a herd of pigs, just two people, it is something that is unthinkable.
Once alarmed, if the pigs don't run away and turn back, there will be no place to hide.
Climb a tree?
No matter how big a tree is, it can be knocked down in a short time.
This time they climbed up the mountain and the two of them didn't dare to stop.
The cannon eggs were clearly aimed at the two of them, and the terrain was unfavorable, so they were taking their lives for granted.
However, Cannon Egg didn't seem to want to give them such an opportunity.
The faster the two of them walked, the faster the cannon egg followed, and they started running.
Listening to the increasingly violent crashing behind them, Lu Lu and Liang Kangbo looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
This cannon egg has become so vicious?
Not being able to care so much, Lu Lu whispered: "Run!"
The two of them immediately took big steps, ignoring the noise, and quickly climbed up the hillside.
But he couldn't run very far, and the sound was already close to thirty or forty meters away.
With such a large body, the speed of bursting out is still so fast.
"If you can't run, Brother Liang, fight!"
Lu Lu immediately stopped and saw the bushes shaking violently on the hillside below. He was about to shoot at the sound, when he suddenly saw Yuan Bao following him, making fierce noises.
He knew very well that as long as the gun sounded, Yuan Bao would definitely rush out, but in a place like that...
Before he had time to think about it, Liang Kangbo, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, pulled the trigger with the semi-automatic in his hand and fired at the cannon egg that rushed out of the bushes.
With the sound of a gunshot, Lu Lu wanted to hug Yuanbao, but before he could, it had already rushed out.
With no time to take care of so much, Lu Lu could only raise his gun and pull the trigger one after another at the cannon egg that was already blocked by the bushes. The cannon egg rushed into the bushes and let out a series of screams.
Hit!
With the bushes blocking the way, the two of them couldn't aim where they wanted to shoot, so they could only make an estimate and shoot.
As long as it hits, it will inevitably bleed, which is a kind of consumption after all.
At this moment, Yuanbao barked and rushed to the bush. At this moment, the cannon egg suddenly rushed out of the bush. Yuanbao immediately jumped to the side when it arrived.
This scene made Lu Lu feel a little relieved. If he got directly through the gap in the bush and was picked by the cannon eggs, there would be no place to hide.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Lu used the semi-automatic in his hand and pulled the trigger again.
Attracted by Yuanbao's barking, Cannon Egg emerged from the bushes and immediately rushed towards Yuanbao who jumped to the side, forcing Yuanbao to jump again. He dwarfed and nimbly slipped between the gaps between the two bushes.
passed.
This cannon egg is so ferocious. Even though the collision did not touch Yuan Bao, its long mouth still swung and protruded several times when it missed the base of the bush in front of it.
At this time, the bullets from Lu Lu's gun had penetrated the cannon egg's shoulder blade one after another, and it seemed that he was also hit in the head.
Liang Kangbo didn't rest either. He pulled the trigger repeatedly and fired at the cannon's egg with red eyes.
However, several rounds of bullets were fired into the body of the Cannon Egg, and blood was clearly seen everywhere, but the Cannon Egg acted like nothing was wrong, gave up the ingot, and rushed towards the location of the two people.
In the blink of an eye, it's close at hand.
The more Lu Lu watched, the more frightened he became. He even saw blood pouring from Cannon Egg's head, but he didn't fall down, and instead became even more manic.
Is this a wild boar or some kind of monster?
