Lu Yuan and his group stood patiently at a distance, like hunters, without any concern about any danger.
This calm mind allows them to think more clearly; otherwise, if they were to encounter danger, making hasty decisions without careful consideration would be extremely dangerous.
They patiently waited for the lame fourth prey to slowly pounce towards the cattle they were on.
However, when his hyena was less than fifty meters away from the dead cow, it suddenly stopped and sniffed the surrounding area. This action is a natural instinct of prey, as they are worried that the animal might suddenly attack and come back to life.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan and the others were not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Having gained ample hunting experience, they now understand very well that waiting for prey to take the bait requires a great deal of patience.
Time passed second by second, and the hyena continued to sniff the surrounding scents.
Lu Yuan and his companions were not worried that their scent would be tattooed onto their bodies, because they had already smeared the cow blood on themselves.
The smell of cow blood was very strong. Lu Yuan had no doubt that after they smeared this stuff on their bodies, they would be able to mask their own scent. Even hyenas might not be able to distinguish the difference.
After waiting for a while, the hyena, seemingly sensing that there was no movement nearby, slowly walked towards the dead cow.
When it got close, the hyena opened its mouth wide, and saliva flowed down its chin in long, thin streams.
As soon as the hyena opened its massive jaws, a foul stench filled the air, and it began to tear at the dead cow's body.
The hyena ate very intently, and Lu Yuan continued to wait. This cow was quite large, and it would be almost impossible for the hyena to eat it all in one bite.
It had to be eaten separately, and the first thing to be lost was a cow leg, which was torn to shreds and became a bloody mess, but the hyena ate it with great relish.
Just then, Lu Yuan felt that the time should be about right. He first observed the surroundings to see if there were any hyenas' companions. In case other hyenas discovered their presence, they might attack them. He had to ensure his own safety.
A glance at the hyena pack in the distance revealed that they weren't particularly interested in the smell of the dead cow; they were more concerned with hunting the antelopes in the distance.
Antelopes are very large, and killing one is enough for several hyenas to carve up together. Therefore, they have no interest in cattle, which are only two meters long. Only the injured hyenas can afford to eat this kind of thing that they look down on.
And so it went. While the lame hyena was enjoying its meal, it was unaware that Lu Yuan was slowly moving towards it.
Lu Yuan slowly crouched down. When he was less than five meters away from the hyena, Lu Yuan suddenly exerted his strength.
With a sudden burst of strides, after only two quick steps, Lu Yuan coughed and rushed up the opponent's calf, then continued climbing up the calf.
Lu Yuan was incredibly fast, like a squirrel. Before the hyena could react, it felt as if something had brushed past it, and then it vanished without a trace.
It glanced around warily but found nothing. Lu Yuan was standing on its back, gripping its fur tightly.
Hyenas have very thick fur, especially around their necks, which is mainly for protection.
Large felines are the kings of the grasslands. They prefer to kill their prey with a single, decisive blow, and the most lethal spot is the neck.
Once the prey's major artery is torn open, the prey is basically powerless to resist. Therefore, the long hair on a hyena's neck is to prevent attacks from felines.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was standing on its neck, and the hyena still did not react. After glancing around, it continued to bury its head and eat.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the other person's head.
The neck is not an ideal attack point, and hyenas can easily scratch their own necks with their claws, so he had to find a suitable location, and the hyena's head was the best place.
Although hyenas are known for having incredibly hard heads, for Lu Yuan, the concept of hardness no longer applies. After several tests, he has mastered the hardness of his blade.
Following his previous experience hunting wild boars, Lu Yuan drew his longsword and swiftly located a vital spot on the hyena's forehead. After marking the spot, he thrust the sword in with great force.
After the blade pierced his scalp, Lu Yuan quickly grabbed the rope to stabilize his body.
The hyena howled in pain a few times nearby. What made Lu Yuan feel some danger was that the hyenas in the distance seemed to have heard the hyena's cries and turned around to look in this direction.
Several hyenas were preparing to return to see what had happened, and Xiao Shan frantically called out into a walkie-talkie, but Lu Yuan remained steadfast in his belief that they wouldn't come.
Finally, the hyenas howled for a while, then stopped. The hyenas in the distance, hearing the distant howling disappear, were relieved and continued walking towards the distant herd of antelopes.
Lu Yuan was covered in sweat and was panting heavily. He breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the longsword still standing upright on the hyena's head.
