Seeing this, Xiao Ma and the other person turned red-eyed, and without hesitation, they picked up the ax and rushed forward to chop.
"Puff".
Two axes hit the back of its big paw. It roared in pain, dropped the middle-aged man and ran out.
Xiao Ma quickly rushed over and hugged the middle-aged man: "Brother Tuo...how are you? How are you?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, grunted, and struggled to stand up: "It's okay, I can still move due to flesh wounds! Pick up my ax quickly, and everyone retreat to the big tree."
The big paw was hit by two axes, and the pain was unbearable. It jumped far away. The two axes hit the waist and back. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to make the big paw drink a pot. It stood aside and licked the wound.
, while staring at several people angrily.
But for a while, it was still a little scared and didn't dare to act rashly.
Several people also took the opportunity to retreat under the big lime tree.
Xiao Ma hurriedly took off the greasy yellow knitted scarf and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's broken cotton-padded jacket to protect him from the cold. He also took a look at the middle-aged man's bloody back, and saw six or seven bloody streaks.
The criss-crossed claw marks, although not deep, make people feel creepy just looking at them.
"Boss, we have to think of a way quickly. Brother Tuo may not be able to stop the blood from flowing..." Xiao Ma urged anxiously.
The leader also dragged the squealing Shunfu back, threw it under the tree, and took two quick breaths: "Don't panic, everyone. Those who are whistling below may send someone up to hurry us up when they see that we are going down late."
. Let’s shout together, ‘There is a tiger, the tiger is coming’, to alert the brothers who have not yet reached the area, and hope that they will hear it and find someone to save us.”
"The tiger is coming!"
"There is a tiger!"
…
The few who were not hurt shouted as loud as they could.
After shouting and shouting, one person suddenly shouted: "Look, what is that?"
A group of people looked in the direction he pointed, and then noticed that there were two tiger cubs on the snow in the forest in the distance.
A tiger cub only weighs about fifty pounds and is very furry. If it weren't for the stripes of fur, no one would think that such a little thing would grow up to be such a ferocious creature with big claws.
Several people also realized that this might be the reason why Big Claw still refused to leave after being hit hard on the back.
Both the big paw and the two tiger cubs are extremely hungry.
In addition, it is now seriously injured. If it leaves like this, it will probably be more difficult to hunt in the future, and all three of them may starve to death.
The abilities of these two tiger cubs are not enough to survive in the forest. If they encounter wild boars, wolves or blind bears, they can easily tear them apart.
The big paw was trying hard to lick the wound, and suddenly saw several people yelling, and it suddenly became very uneasy, but it still did not choose to leave, but roared and rushed over again.
Several people surrounded the injured middle-aged man and Shun Fu, leaning on the big lime tree, forming a semicircle. They waved the long axes in their hands and kept slashing and driving away the big claws looking around.
The big claw has now truly understood the power of the long-handled axe, and has become particularly cautious in chopping at several people. It has injuries on its back, and its movements have been greatly affected, making it much slower.
And the few people were blocked by the big lime tree, and they had no worries behind them. They jumped around the big tree with their big paws for a while. No one on the two sides could do anything to the other. They were more than two meters apart from each other. After a lot of tossing, they couldn't help but gasp.
With.
It has to be said that Big Claws is very patient and perseverant when hunting. In this regard, it is much better than blind bears, wild boars, and leopards.
They circled around several people for more than half an hour, still looking for the best time to attack, forcing several people to hold long axes, hoarsely shouting for help, while staring at the big claws, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
.
Shun Fu had already become confused. The place where he lay was stained red with blood, and he could no longer scream. He was just trembling from the cold.
Lu Lu and others were still following the footprints left by the big paws.
They followed the footprints beside the fence of the sika deer farm for more than a hundred meters, and then saw the big paws climbing over the fence into the farm, and then wandered for a long distance in the hillside woodland. For some reason, they finally
He walked back to the fence at the edge and climbed out.
Next, they stopped and walked halfway along the hillside to the west.
Just like this, while carefully watching the surroundings, I followed, walked for several miles, and climbed over three mountains, but I never saw the figure of the big paw.
"Could it be that he went back to the mountains again?" Zhang Shaofeng followed, a little bored.
"Wouldn't it be better if we went back to the mountains?"
Lu Lu smiled and said: "However, no matter what this time, we have to do everything we can to drive it away. We have already wandered into the deer farm, and must have been targeting the sika deer in the farm. If we don't drive it away this time, we will
If it goes out and it breaks in again, it will be terrible. The people they left behind won't be able to deal with it, and we don't have that much time to deal with it and do things thoroughly."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at the militiamen who were following him: "Thank you for your hard work, this matter is not only for the farm, but also for everyone's safety. Even if the big claws wander around, it is still a hidden danger, so we are patient."
Be patient and let's continue chasing."
"This is also for everyone's sake. Otherwise, we would not dare to go into the mountains, and we would really have to stay at home all winter."
Liu Bao responded.
Zhao Yongke squatted down and looked carefully at the large, two small and three sets of footprints left on the snow: "The weather is too cold, and the ice and snow that has been stepped on and compacted can easily freeze and harden. Looking at these footprints, you can clearly feel that they are getting harder and harder."
The softer it gets, the closer we are to the big paw."
Lu Lu also bent down and took a look. Indeed, the footprints on the snow were obviously different in terms of softness.
"Please keep your spirits up, maybe we will be able to find them soon!"
Lu Lu warned again, and Zhao Yongke took the lead and continued to follow the footprints.
After walking for more than ten minutes, when they crossed a ridge again, Yuanbao suddenly made a fierce sound.
Looking at its faint fur, Lu Lu knew that it was not far from the big paw.
He raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Yuan Bao, and suddenly felt that he heard something faintly, and quickly asked: "Did you hear anything? I think I heard someone shouting about big claws?"
When everyone heard the words, they also listened carefully.
"Someone called Big Claw, and that Big Claw is on the opposite side near the top of the mountain!" Zhao Yongke's ears were sensitive and he could hear clearly.
"Come on, let's go over there and take a look!"
Lu Lu immediately quickened his pace and walked in the direction where the shout came from.
When he heard the sound getting closer and closer, he made a gesture to stop the group of people: "The situation above is not clear yet, you just wait here... we are all taking care of each other, don't dare to be careless, the few of us
Go up and have a look."
These militiamen know how to use guns, but they lack hunting experience. Hunting is one thing, but they are also the easiest to panic if they are ambushed by Big Claws. It will be difficult to deal with more people. Moreover, let's go up together.
If so, the movement would be too loud.
The most troublesome thing is that there are several people up there. If there is a chaos, someone else's big paw misses and hurts someone instead, it will not be worth the loss.
He planned to lead a few people up to take a look first.
Originally, he only planned to call Zhao Yongke, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was necessary to let Chen Xiuqing, Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo and others come to see them, especially Lei Meng, so that he could have a better mentality to deal with prey in the future.
Next, we are going to enter the Greater Khingan Mountains, where the situation is even more dangerous.
A few of them have also spent a lot of time in the mountains, and their psychological quality and marksmanship are very good. They may be able to help at critical moments.
"Liu Bao, you are someone who has bombed blind bears several times. You know how powerful it is. When we go up, you will lead everyone. This matter is not a joke... Everyone is holding guns and watching the surroundings..." Zhang Shaofeng emphasized again.
One sentence.
"Okay!" Liu Bao responded seriously.
Seeing a few people surrounding a big red pine, holding guns to their faces, and circling on guard, Lu Lu nodded with satisfaction, motioned to Zhang Shaofeng and others, and the few climbed up the snow slope.
The further you go up, the more clearly you can hear the shouts from above, as well as the low calls of big paws from time to time.
"Someone is surrounded by big claws!" Lu Lu whispered: "If you need to use a gun later, you must seize the opportunity and be sure not to hurt anyone."
Several people nodded one after another and continued to approach cautiously.
Not long after, several people looked through the gaps between the trees and saw a hundred meters on the hillside. A big paw was wandering around seven or eight people, as well as two tiger cubs following nearby.
I don’t know how the coat color of the big paws evolved. Their coat color seems to be more suitable for the summer and autumn seasons when the grass is deep and the forest is dense and the sun is dappled. In winter and snowy days, the colorful fur looks particularly conspicuous.
"It's the same big paw as last time, but it looks a lot thinner. It's like two tiger cubs. Although they are very thin, they have grown up a lot." Zhang Shaofeng said softly.
"Could it be that it was injured by a cannon egg last time, and it was actually quite badly injured?" Chen Xiuqing asked in a low voice: "The big paw is injured, and hunting becomes difficult. When I was a child, I heard my dad say that the big paw is injured.
The claws are domineering. As soon as they get close, many animals can sense it and run away early. Hunting is not as easy as we think. Sometimes, it is difficult to catch a roe deer. Most of the time, they rely on ambush.
, I’m good at running, but not good at endurance.”
Liang Kangbo nodded: "It's possible."
"Let's fight... Look, there are two people lying on the ground. The big claws are directly destroyed and cannot be left. I will take responsibility for any problems from above." Zhang Shaofeng was very decisive: "As for those two
It’s a tiger cub. After you catch it, let the people from Harbin Park take it back.”
Lu Lu nodded: "We have to get closer, and we have to be careful next time. Big Paw's hearing and sense of smell are very keen, and there are too many trees covering it, so it is difficult to fight. If we go up, Big Paw will be disturbed at any time, and it will be very difficult to fight.
It is possible that they will attack us directly."
Looking at these big paws, I have been staring at those people for quite some time.
What else is there to think about?
Lu Lu reached out and patted Yuan Bao's head. After a brief gesture, several dogs lay down on the snow. Then he continued to move up with the gun carefully.
After walking a few steps, the crunching sound of several people stepping on the snow could not escape the ears of the big paw. The original movement of wandering around the few people to test it immediately stopped, and suddenly turned back to look down.
They didn't know whether they were crazy from hunger or something else, but their big paws only slightly moved back, roared at Lu Lu and others, and immediately rushed down towards them.
It took one step of seven or eight meters, and it was so fast that in the blink of an eye it was no more than forty or fifty meters apart.
Several people did not dare to be careless and aimed to pull the trigger and start shooting. Until Lu Lu's shot was fired, the big claw fell over and slid down the snowy slope for a long way, unable to stand up again.
