Erlang Shen, however, remained agile, stepped forward, bit the badger's nape again, and swung it up once more.

When the badger landed for the third time, Sheng Xiping and the others arrived.

Erlang Shen held on tightly to the badger, who was already dizzy from the fall, and pinned it to the ground.

Sheng Xiping came up to it, took out his gun, and smashed it hard on the badger's head with the butt.

After a few blows, the badger started bleeding from its mouth and nose, and its body was twitching; it was clear it was going to die.

At this moment, Wang Jianshe came up to him, and Sheng Xiping immediately drew a short knife and handed it to him.

"I'm pressing its head down with the butt of my gun, you just need to finish it off quickly."

Sheng Xiping used the butt of his gun and his foot to flip the half-dead badger over, exposing its belly.

Sheng Xiping dared not be careless, and kept the butt of his gun pressed down on the badger's head to prevent it from struggling in its death throes and biting Wang Jianshe again.

Wang Jianshe took the dagger and plunged it directly into the badger's heart. The badger twitched twice and then went still.

Wang Jianshe picked up the badger and laughed, "Goodness, this thing must weigh about ten pounds. Look at all its flesh, so plump and wobbly."

It is said that there are many kinds of badgers, with the most common ones in the local area being hog badgers and Eurasian badgers.

These two species have similar habits; both burrow and live in caves, hibernate in winter, and eat similar foods.

The first badger we caught today should be a hog badger, which is slightly larger.

Badgers have fat inside their skin and outside their flesh. When you peel off the skin, you will first see a layer of white fat. After removing the fat, you will find lean, purplish-red meat inside.

In autumn, badgers eat voraciously to store fat.

Although it's not the fattest time of year yet, his body is indeed as Wang Jianshe said, chubby and wobbly, clearly oozing oil.

"We'll gut them, put them in sacks, and keep looking. We'll catch a few more, and tomorrow we'll stew badgers for dinner."

The mission went smoothly; Sheng Xiping caught a plump badger as soon as he arrived, which made him very happy.

Wang Jianshe quickly gutted the badger, discarding its internal organs.

The badger carcass was thrown into a sack and handed to Zhang Zhijun and the others behind it to carry.

Then Wang Jianshe followed behind Sheng Xiping and walked forward.

Erlang Shen had already started talking when Sheng Xiping hit the badger with the butt of his gun.

This dog doesn't eat badger meat; it can't stand the pungent, smelly odor.

So when Erlang Shen saw that the badger was doomed, he immediately turned around and ran away.

Just then, a shout came from the distance from the Black General, and Erlang Shen immediately ran towards the Black General.

On the other side, Black General also caught a badger, this one being slightly smaller.

Perhaps due to its small size and agility, Black General was scratched by this badger, which landed right on its face.

Badgers have sharp claws, but fortunately, it was small, so the damage wasn't too great; it only scratched a mark.

Black General was a very experienced hunting dog, and it didn't care about this minor injury at all. After a whimper, it bit the badger's neck tightly.

The badger was struggling with all its might when Erlang Shen arrived and bit the base of the badger's tail.

The two dogs, one in front and one behind, pinned the badger to death.

The two dogs pulled hard in their own directions, stretching the badger's body so much that it was suspended in mid-air.

When Sheng Xiping and the others arrived, they witnessed this scene.

If they had arrived any later, the badger would probably have been torn to pieces by the two dogs.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Xiping quickly drew his knife and stepped forward, killing the badger with a single stroke.

As soon as the badger died, the two dogs immediately released their grip.

Even Erlang Shen didn't bother to sniff the badger before turning and leaving. After Sheng Xiping gutted the badger, General Hei stepped forward, sniffed it, and also turned and left.

With these two experienced hunting dogs around, the badgers that came to wreak havoc on the crops tonight have finally met their match.

Before long, Erlang Shen and General Hei caught another badger.

The other badgers have been chased for the past few days and are terrified. They probably heard the screams or smelled people and dogs, realized something was wrong, and fled in panic.

One of the badgers, which was quite large, ran very fast, escaping from the back of the ground and heading straight into the forest.

However, not long after it entered the woods, a dark figure suddenly pounced from the shadows.

The shadowy figure looked a bit bigger than a cat, with a short tail, and moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, a sharp claw was pressed down on the badger's head.

The badger was quite large, but it moved quickly, darting to the side.

The claw failed to hold the badger down, but instead scratched several bloody wounds on its head.

The badger let out a howl and turned to confront the dark figure.

The two beasts faced each other, and the badger let out a grunting roar.

The cat-like animal opposite was making a growling sound, as if it was trying to scare the badger.

As it called out, the large cat-like animal repeatedly raised its furry paws and struck the badger on the head.

The big cat moved too fast, and the badger couldn't dodge in time, resulting in several more wounds on its head.

Blood flowed down from his head, staining the surrounding grass and trees.

The badger tried to bite and nudge, but its movements were like slow motion to the big cat opposite it, and it couldn't catch the big cat no matter how many times it tried.

Badgers are known for their deadly bites; once they bite, they will never let go.

The big cat opposite seemed to know this very well, so it skillfully circled around the badger, waiting for an opportunity to strike with its claws.

Or it might pounce on the badger and bite, but after the badger dodges, it continues to circle around it.

The badger was large, while the big cat was slightly smaller, and the two animals thus formed an eerie standoff.

Meanwhile, in the back of the earth, Erlang Shen and General Hei wandered around for a long time but couldn't find the badger again.

Erlang Shen seemed somewhat unwilling to give up, and continued to sniff around.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Erlang Shen looked up, sniffed twice, and then ran northward.

Erlang Shen led the way, with General Hei close behind, and the two dogs ran straight into the woods.

"Erlang Shen, come back." Sheng Xiping sensed something was wrong.

Why is this dog running into the woods? It's so late at night, there might be some wild animals in the woods. What if it encounters danger?

"You guys wait here, I'm going to chase the dog. Whatever you do, don't go into the woods."

Sheng Xiping turned around and gave Wang Jianshe and the others a few words of advice, then chased after Erlang Shen and the others in the direction they had run.

Wang Jianshe and his group didn't have much hunting experience. The forest was too dangerous at night, and their presence would only cause trouble and could even lead to danger.

Sheng Xiping followed Erlang Shen and the Black General into the woods.

It was already dark at night, and visibility was poor. The woods were even darker, and it was almost impossible to see what was in front of us.

Fortunately, Sheng Xiping had trained in night hunting with his master, so even in complete darkness, he could still use his keen senses to discern his surroundings.

Erlang Shen roared twice, and the sound was coming from nearby.

The wind seemed to carry the cries of other animals, as well as the smell of blood.

Sheng Xiping felt a chill run down his spine and immediately drew his gun.
