AWB Chapter 273 Big Cat
Chapter 273 Big Cat
After the issue of the wolf cub's ownership was resolved, the leaders of the several parties discussed how to patrol the forest.
Finally, it was decided that in order to patrol the woods around the village in the shortest possible time, all the people would be divided into two groups, led by Thunder God and Monkey respectively, and each would go in different directions to patrol the woods.
We agreed to meet at the Wolf's Den around 3pm the next day and go down the mountain together.
There were many people in their group, with more than 30 soldiers alone, and each of them had a gun.
Even if they were divided into two, plus those in the village who had hunting rifles and bows and arrows, there would be twenty people in one team.
In addition, the villagers have no hot weapons, bows and arrows, and only short weapons. Even if so many people encounter a big monster, they are enough to protect themselves.
Uncle Ji followed Lei Gong's team, and Ji Shihu followed the monkey's team.
At Uncle Ji's request, Liu Jingxue also followed Monkey's team.
After dividing the things brought into the mountain into two, everyone patrolled the forest according to the divided teams.
Liu Jingxue wasn't sure about the other team's situation, but her team was doing quite well and had gained a lot along the way, but they hadn't met the big guy yet.
However, Liu Jingxue observed with her spiritual sense that although the general direction of travel was guided by Ji Shihu after observing the surrounding traces, the monkey would inadvertently lead the team to change direction quietly after unconsciously glancing at some inconspicuous places.
Because the direction of the deviation was not very obvious, and what he did was like avoiding a tree or a protruding rock that was blocking the road, it was so natural that no one noticed.
If Liu Jingxue had not known in advance the purpose of Lei Gong and the monkey coming to lead the way, and had not used her spiritual sense to observe his little movements, she would have probably overlooked it.
Because there were so many people and many hot weapons, and because they had to patrol the forest before tomorrow afternoon, they did not find a campsite to rest early at 4 p.m. like they did last time when they came out to hunt.
When it was too dark to see clearly, they even lit torches and continued patrolling for a while.
However, starting in the evening, when they saw some dead branches, they would collect them and prepare to make a bonfire when they camped later.
Since entering the mountain today, except for taking a break during a meeting after we eliminated the wolf pack, we have not rested since then.
When I was hungry, I just took out the dry food that was warm in my arms and ate while walking.
When you are thirsty, just grab a handful of clean snow from the ground, put it in your mouth and let it melt and drink it as water.
Because there were so many people, even Liu Jingxue found it difficult to smuggle food or hot water into the space.
I can only eat a few bites of hot food and drink some hot water to rinse my mouth when I make the excuse of going to the bathroom.
Even though she had the spiritual power to cheat along the way, she had to admit that she was still a little tired.
But seeing those soldiers who acted as if nothing had happened and the villagers who were obviously tired, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but admire those soldiers.
It seems that their daily training is even harder than this, otherwise they wouldn't be so calm.
The monkey, reminded by the leading soldier, noticed the villagers' fatigue.
He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that he had forgotten that there were ordinary villagers traveling with him today.
The villagers are not like the soldiers like them who have been specially trained, and they do not have such good physical strength to run around in the mountains and forests for a long time.
The fact that they have been able to hold on until now without asking for a rest is a result of their hard work, and their physical fitness has greatly improved.
The monkey looked around and ordered, "Everyone hold on a little longer. Let's find a cave that can shelter us from the wind and snow and rest there tonight."
After hearing this, the soldiers did not react, but with Liu Jingxue's hearing ability, she heard several villagers clearly sighing.
As they walked, they looked for a cave or something nearby where they could spend the night, and they walked forward for a while.
At this time, Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense detected a cave 400 meters ahead.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally she could rest.
And it’s not that cold when you rest in the cave.
After she scanned the cave with her spiritual sense, she frowned.
This should be a beast cave.
Although the beast was not in the cave now, her spiritual sense found a lot of animal hair inside the cave.
Please forgive her for not having much knowledge in this area, she really can't tell what kind of beast it is just by looking at its fur.
I don’t know whether the beast has abandoned the cave or just gone out to look for food temporarily and will come back soon.
Liu Jingxue couldn't help but strengthen her vigilance, spreading out her spiritual awareness to see if she could find the beast.
Her spiritual sense saw plum blossom-shaped footprints in the snow outside the oil hole, spreading outward until it was beyond the range of her spiritual sense.
Looking at Ji Shihu walking in front of her, Liu Jingxue wanted to ask, but was worried that they would also see the footprints and she would not be able to explain, so she had to give up.
Never mind, let’s talk about it when we get there.
Anyway, we have so many people and guns on our side, and I have my own cheat, so we don’t have to be afraid even of ferocious beasts.
After walking about 100 meters forward, Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense finally saw who the owner of the footprints was.
Looking at the scene of the returning spiritual consciousness, and the big cat twisting and turning in the snow, Liu Jingxue was a little confused.
Wasn't it said that this thing was in the deep mountains and forests? How did it get here?
Even if there is a food shortage in winter, it will not be the overlord of the forest.
Why did it run outside to find food?
Liu Jingxue observed three seconds of silence for the big cat. With so many guns, it seemed that it could not escape today.
The cave is there, and the group will definitely find it if they go there.
The footprints on the snow were there, and with Ji Shihu's ability, he could definitely tell what had left them.
What's more, there is hair left in the cave as evidence.
Even if Liu Jingxue wanted to keep it and put it into the space before everyone went there, but if everyone didn't deal with it personally, I'm afraid it would be turned upside down in this forest tonight.
Besides, they couldn't leave either. The villagers wouldn't feel at ease unless they found it.
After all, it is so close to the village, and if you are not careful you will run into the village.
Although big cats became protected animals later, they are not now. I can only blame myself for not waiting quietly in the mountains and having to wander around the outskirts.
Sure enough, when approaching the cave, everyone found footprints on the snow and found the cave by following the footprints.
With the footprints and the hair in the cave, everyone was sure that this was a big cat.
"Don't rest yet, everyone. Follow the footprints to find it, and then take a rest after you kill it," the monkey ordered.
Ji Shihu nodded and said, "If we don't solve it, we won't be able to rest tonight.
Besides, this place is too close to the village below, and it might run down the mountain one day, so we should deal with it first."
With footprints leading the way, everyone found the big cat effortlessly.
The big cat is the king of the forest and it is not exaggerating. Although everyone was behind it and deliberately relaxed their pace, they were still discovered by it.
But what can it do even if it is discovered? With so many people and so many guns, how many of them can it deal with?
As long as the big cat doesn't get close to you, it only takes a few shots to kill it.
No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife; no matter how good your kung fu is, you can be knocked down by a brick.
They originally planned to launch a sneak attack, but they were discovered by it, so they had to give up the idea.
Monkey fired the first shot, followed by two other soldiers.
After three gunshots, the big cat fell to the ground with a thud, and its blood dyed the snow beneath it red.
After making sure the big cat was dead, the monkey said happily, "Okay, let's carry it back.
Clean up the cave, we will spend the night in the tiger cave.
The smell of the tiger will scare away the prey around us. As long as one person is left on guard, we can sleep well tonight."
