Chapter 2 Traps

Andis' giant bear didn't have a hard time either. The strong rebound force directly knocked it back to the ground. When it landed, its right palm was obviously a little unnatural. Flesh is flesh after all. It was not a wise choice to hit a mountain rock head-on. However, it regained control of the initiative.

Right, its choice has not changed - attack.

This boulder, which has no advantage in terms of size, has lost its suddenness and can no longer be an obstacle to it. With a double jump, it can be climbed over with a little help from it.

Ouch!

The giant Andis bear that had just crossed the boulder let out a shrill scream. At some point, a half-foot-long arrow tail appeared on its right eye, and it was bleeding profusely.

The giant Andis bear attracted too much attention to the boulder trap, causing him to ignore another fatal and dangerous element - Sean, the young Andis mountain hunter who laid a series of traps.

Sean did not miss this perfect opportunity, or in other words, he laid a series of traps just to create this trap, and silently shot the fatal arrow.

This arrow is somewhat different from the arrows shot previously. Not only are the weapons different, but the structures are also fundamentally different. Although the length and thickness of the first two arrows are different, the principle is the same. The arrow shafts are both cut from logs.

The iron arrowhead and fletching are completed.

The arrow inserted into the eye of Andis' giant bear is a composite arrow. The arrow shaft is made of multiple log strips glued together, and then equipped with special arrowheads and arrow feathers.

This kind of arrow has a unique name among Andis mountain people, flowering arrow.

As the name suggests, when the prey tries to take out this kind of arrow, if the force is not careful, the glued and weak log strips will bloom in the prey's body like flowers, causing a more fatal secondary injury - a flower blooming in the prey's body.

The flower of flesh and blood on the body.

It doesn't matter if the prey is not messed with. There are many deliberately left gaps between the spliced ​​logs, and the arrow holes in the middle form a natural bleeding device. If it is not pulled out as soon as possible, the danger is fatal, even in the Andis Crater Mountains.

The largest prey, the Andis giant bear, will also be bled to death in just a quarter of an hour, so this type of arrow is also called a bloodletting arrow.

Some people would also call it a bear hunting arrow, which can only be used to deal with dangerous large prey such as the Andis giant bear, the Andis giant tiger, the four-horned mountain ox, and the wild boar.

Compared with the terrifying power, the flaws of this kind of arrow are also very obvious. The complicated craftsmanship is just one of them. The gluing process and unstable arrow body limit the length, thickness, and thus the range.

Once the shooting range exceeds fifteen meters, the bear hunting arrows are likely to bloom in mid-air, and the difficulty of controlling them will increase exponentially. Even the most skilled eagle shooters among the Andis mountain people are unable to do anything.

There are too many variables caused by arrow shafts.

Each one will have subtle differences, and it is a one-time consumable, which makes it impossible to practice.

Therefore, if you want to use this kind of arrow against prey, you must get close enough to the prey.

When the prey is an extremely dangerous prey like the Andis giant bear, the hunter will be in an extremely dangerous environment regardless of whether he can hit the target, and an injured giant bear is even more terrifying.

It is normal to fail in bear hunting and become food in the mouth of a giant bear.

Even for Andis mountain people who are born hunters, hunting adult Andis giant bears is a task that can only be completed by brave men with rich experience and enough courage. Just like the eagle shooter, the giant bear hunter is a very noble person.

title.

Ouch! Roar!

This giant Andis bear was very unfortunate. After suffering from pain, he subconsciously fiddled with the exposed arrow tail, and the flowering arrow bloomed in its right eye, forming a huge hole of flesh and blood.

The blood no longer gushes out, but spurts out. The severe pain and fear make it almost crazy. It pounces left and right. Anything in front of it is slapped away with one palm. The trees below the mouth of the bowl are constantly

I can't afford his blow.

This crazy behavior has no benefit except accelerating blood loss.

After shooting the flowering arrow, Sean didn't care whether he succeeded or not, and left as quickly as possible to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the giant Andis bear. Even if a great knight took action himself, it would be fatal or not.

After several minutes of madness, the fear in Andis's giant bear's heart outweighed its anger, and it once again made what it thought was the best choice - to turn around and run away.

If he had made such a choice just a few minutes ago, it would undoubtedly have been a wise choice. Without the constraints of traps, Sean would never have let these grumpy behemoths get closer than 20 meters to him.

But now, no matter what it does, it is in vain. Even the Andis Giant Bear, who is born with a strong physique, has no way to heal the tearing wound caused by the flowering arrow. Death is his only destination, and it is only a matter of time.

Accompanied by a loud whistle and a burst of excited barking in the distance, Sean, a young Andis mountain man hunter, has joined his pack of hounds.

Bows, knives, and hunting dogs are the three traditional standard equipment of Andis mountaineer hunters. An Andis mountaineer hunter without a dog is like a knight without a horse, which is incomplete.

You can go without a bow or a knife, but you can't go without a hunting dog.

This is the first hunting experience that the old Andis mountain man hunter taught his son or apprentice. To be precise, survival experience, because the consequences of not bringing a hound are not only related to the amount of prey harvested, but often one's own life cannot be brought back.

.

A hunting dog with keen senses is more likely to detect not only prey but also predators, especially at night.

Experienced Andis mountaineers will not easily camp alone in the forest without a hunting dog.

Sean's hound group consists of three Andis hounds, three long-haired hounds and six wolfhounds. A hound group of this size is considered large even among Andis mountaineer hunters.

Not every dog ​​can become a hound, and coupled with the potential losses during hunting, this means that if you want to maintain such a large hound group, you must have more than twice the backup dog group (usually two-thirds

of puppies and one-third of adult dogs).

Even if they are free-range, the dogs will provide some of their own food, but fixed feeding is still indispensable. If this link of building relationships is missing, the dogs they raise will not be hounds, but wild dogs.

This is the price Sean must pay for his frequent hunting alone. The number of dogs of each type in the hound group must be at least two to prevent one of them from being injured or killed.

If there are multiple people hunting, it won't be so troublesome. Each person can bring three to four hounds to form a huge, fully functional hound group.

Once the number of hound groups exceeds three digits, all animals in the mountains will have to retreat, including the usually arrogant slave hunters. However, such scenes are not common, and the efficiency of doing so is not high. It can only be used when hunting large predators and

It only appears during festivals when prey is abundant.

Andis mountaineer hunters usually prefer small hunting teams based on families. There are only a few people like Sean who like to act alone. People who like to do this are either extremely confident or have their own secrets.

, Sean has a little bit of both, but it doesn’t count.

This time he was not hunting alone. There were more than a dozen people following the hound group, a dozen and a half-year-olds. The eldest one looked to be only one or two years younger than Sean, and the youngest one was seven or eight years old.

Look.

Running as fast as he could in the mountains, he was obviously a veteran. While running, he let out a strange "Hehe" cry, and together with the pack of hounds, he created an illusion for the injured Andis Giant Bear that there were enemies in all directions.

In front of a group of hounds that are good at tracking, the injured Andis giant bear had no chance of escaping. It was surrounded by a group of hounds in an open area beside a rushing stream three kilometers away from the boulder trap.

Normally, this mountain stream less than ten meters wide would not cause any trouble to the giant Andis bear at all, but after losing nearly one-third of its body's blood volume and falling into an extremely weak state, it became very difficult.

obstacles to overcome.

He tried to cross the stream several times, but was blocked by the pack of hounds. The cold stream water accelerated the loss of body heat, and each attempt only made him weaker.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The hounds formed a huge circular encirclement around the Andis Giant Bear, taking turns to attack.

If you observe carefully, you will find that their attacks are not all in one go, but have a reasonable division of labor and hierarchy.

The twelve hounds were obviously divided into three small groups, each of which was composed of an Andis hound, a long-haired hound and two wolfhounds.

Every attack is initiated by the Andis Hound. If the Andis Giant Bear's attention is attracted by it, it will feint a shot, turn around and run away from a distance.

The hounds in this small group will take the opportunity to launch an attack from the side or behind the Andis Bear. If the Andis Bear does not notice him, it will launch a substantive attack, using the method of virtuality and reality with great proficiency.

, giving people the illusion that the attack always comes from behind or from the side of the Andis Giant Bear.

The attack method of hounds is different from that of their close relatives, wolves. Especially when dealing with large prey, hounds rarely rush to bite. They mostly bite or slap.

Rather than killing prey, it is better to attract their attention and lure them to attack. This is done to consume the prey's physical strength to the greatest extent while waiting for the hunter. If the prey is injured, it will accelerate its blood loss.

, thereby achieving the purpose of bringing down the prey.

The reason for this difference is that hounds have a deadly weapon that wolves do not have - hunters.

During hundreds of years of hunting together, hounds have slowly changed their hunting habits.

However, once they return to the wilderness, it won't take long for the hound pack's hunting mode to return to that of the wolf pack.



The Andis hound is a comprehensive hound. In addition to having an extraordinary sense of smell, it has good vision, alertness, tracking ability and combat effectiveness. It is a panacea among dogs. The most important thing is that this kind of dog has a high IQ.

Afterwards, it is comparable to an eight or nine-year-old child. It learns things very quickly and is well trained. It can handle even complex tactics with ease. It is also famous for its loyalty. It usually only has one owner in its life. Therefore, if you want to raise this kind of hound, you must start from the beginning.

Take care of it yourself when it is weaned. An experienced Andis hound is the best choice to become the leader of the hound group. Sometimes wisdom is more important than personal force.
