The night was uneventful, but as morning approached, the two of them were woken up by the roars of the baboons.
The calls of the baboons are very strange. They are completely different from the short calls they hear during the day. They are sharp, long and melodious.
Owen originally thought that the baboons' melodious calls were just their habitual behavior, but Rachel obviously didn't think so. She heard something from the calls, and after a while, he slapped Owen awake.
"Look there..."
Following the direction Rachel pointed, Owen found several pointed ears in the waist-deep grass. Owen's face darkened, it was the Bad Boys League.
Two members of the Bad Boys Alliance died in a previous operation. Irving thought that would be the end of it. Unexpectedly, these guys kept following them. It didn't take much for him to know that the lions wanted revenge.
It seems that the bad boy has a strong desire for revenge, but this method of stalking prey is often seen among wolves, but it seems to be the first time for a lion.
The calls they heard before were obviously warnings. The group of baboons had special sentries both day and night. This time, they were able to take advantage of the baboons.
The two looked at each other and felt that there was something tricky. Those lions were following them all the way, and they obviously would not let them go easily. The reason why they had not launched an attack until now was probably because they were afraid of the guns or fire in their hands. After all,
The lessons learned by the two companions are still fresh in my mind.
"Find a way to kill them..."
Owen thought for a moment and made a decision. They were now within sight of the baboons and in the woods. Those bad boys couldn't do anything to them.
But once they leave here and re-enter the grassland, it becomes the lion's home field. Even if they have firearms in their hands, they will only be killed by those lions.
Owen decided to deal with these lions here, or at least scare them so that they would not dare to follow them any longer. Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to leave here at all.
Rachel used the same method. The two hit it off immediately. The longer they spent time together, the more Owen admired this woman. She was strong, independent, and a top student.
Especially when Rachel fought desperately to protect him in the cave, when Owen couldn't move, Rachel would rather confront the lion head-on than let the lion hurt him in the slightest. This friendship...
Owen also asked Rachel afterward, and Rachel's explanation was very simple. You risked your life to save me, and you saved me more than once. You were injured at the time. Are you still a human being if I don't save you?
It sounds reasonable, but how many people can do that in the situation yesterday? Although Owen never said it, he was actually very grateful to Rachel.
After some discussion, the two got off the tree.
Owen observed the nearby environment for a while and then thought about what to do. He handed the pistol to Rachel for self-defense, and then he took the dagger and chopped some branches.
Owen placed the branches on the edge of the woods, and then spread some leaves on them. The purpose of this was to block the sight of those bad boys. If he wanted to set up traps in the woods, he couldn't do it under the eyes of the other party.
.
After doing all this, Owen started making traps.
To deal with a large animal like a lion, there are only two types of traps that can be used, a thousand-pound gate or a trap. As for trip wires or rope nooses, they are completely useless. The weight is just there, and his hands are not strong enough.
Tool of.
Owen first selected a location and then began to dig a pit. His purpose was not to capture alive but to kill, so the pit did not need to be dug too deep.
Owen dug about two meters and then stopped. Then he began to cut branches to make spikes, and finally spread the spikes all over the bottom of the pit. Each spike was half a meter long. Although the tip was not made of metal, it was also made by Owen.
It's extremely sharp.
After that, Owen made a rope with vines and hung it over the pit. After trying it to be strong enough, Owen felt relieved. With this thing, he could use the vines to swing directly across the pit when he ran over. Because when the lion ran,
The speed is very fast and the step distance is large, so the pit dug by Owen is very long and it is impossible to jump over it. He can only avoid it by relying on ropes and the like.
After finishing all this, Owen began to make a camouflage of the pit. He first put some twigs on the surface of the pit, and then spread leaves on top. After doing this, Owen made a mark to prevent his own people from entering by mistake, and then started to make a second one.
trap.
The baboons overhead were watching the whole process curiously. When Owen finished making the first trap, he hilariously made a secretive gesture towards them, and the baboons followed suit.
The second trap is the Thousand Jin Gate. This thing was originally used to hunt black bears, but it is more than enough to deal with lions here. However, the production of this trap is a bit difficult and requires the use of favorable geographical conditions.
Owen wandered around in the woods for a long time, and finally found a place where he could barely make a thousand-pound gate.
The so-called thousand-pound gate actually means killing prey by relying on the weight of a boulder or tree. What Owen found was a boulder. It looked like it weighed almost a thousand kilograms, and the weight was just right.
The boulder was almost as high as a person, and Owen began to use a dagger to dig out the soil under it. When he was almost done digging, Owen found a branch to support it underneath, and then continued digging.
Soon, more than half of the part under the boulder was hollowed out, and all the strength was supported by the branch. Then Owen found a rope several meters long from his emergency bag.
One end of the rope was tied to a branch by him, and the other end extended far away. In this way, he only had to design a route for the lion to run under the boulder. When the time came, he would pull the rope and destroy the branch, and the boulder would roll down and smash the lion.
die.
After the trap was made, Owen reunited with Rachel. The next step was to see whether the lions would be fooled.
Owen made a total of two pit traps. Due to the materials, there is only one thousand-pound gate. Theoretically, it can only kill three lions, but there are four outside. However, time does not allow them to continue. Just three traps are enough.
It took Owen a whole morning, but I still don't know the effect.
After removing the branches and leaves that blocked the view, Owen's figure appeared at the edge of the woods. Rachel, who was high up, observed the lions in the distance through the telescope.
Owen pretended to walk around the edge of the woods to make sure he was discovered by the other party, then sat down with his back facing outside.
In the field of view of the telescope, four lions hiding in the grass suddenly lowered their bodies and made a hunting posture.
Owen's report came from the walkie-talkie on his body. Although Owen had his back to the outside, he was aware of the surrounding situation in real time.
"run……"
When the four lions jumped out of the grass, Rachel's shouting sounded on the intercom. Owen stood up and ran away without even looking at them.
He is not afraid that these lions will not come over. It is the nature of all cats as hunters to attack prey that has its back turned to him. This nature is engraved in the genes.
Several lions were indeed fooled. Seeing that Owen had his back turned to them, they thought they had an opportunity and attacked one after another.
The speed of the lions is very fast, which can reach 60-70 kilometers per hour. The four lions rushed behind Owen in the blink of an eye. Owen ran towards the pit as fast as he could, and the lions behind him were getting closer and closer to him, but
Owen is getting closer and closer to the pit, and he has carefully calculated this distance.
