In the hollow behind Phoenix Mountain, there is a cave with rows of wood frogs hanging inside. Inside the cave, there is also an alcohol stove burning, in which wild rabbit meat is cooked.
Two men in military coats, with yellow bullet belts around their waists and double-barreled shotguns beside them, were tearing up frog oil and complaining.
"Erkui, it's all your fault. That was a man-bear just now."
"We'll make a fortune if we kill the man-bear."
One of the bald men spat and swallowed the rabbit meat in one gulp without caring that it was uncooked.
"Do you blame me? Don't you want to kill that man-bear?"
"The shotgun jammed. Otherwise, I would have shot it to death."
Erkui bit the uncooked rabbit meat, and the blood inside flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"When the boss comes back soon, don't talk nonsense. He won't let us shoot."
"Gouzi, what on earth is the boss looking for? Is there a mountain temple on this mountain?"
Erkui looked outside in confusion. Why were they going to look for a mountain temple so late at night?
"Shut up, why should we get involved in the boss's business?"
"After we finish eating, let's go see how those loopers are doing."
"I've planted over thirty noose traps around here. I'm sure we'll find them this time."
The noose is made of special iron wire. It was used by ancient hunters. They would judge the species of animals based on the animal's foundation and then set noose of different sizes.
One end of the noose is tied to a roadside tree. The more an animal struggles, the tighter the noose tightens. This is especially useful for catching wild boars; the wire never breaks, and it remains effective even after a year or two.
Erkui continued to eat the wild rabbit, and suddenly lay on the ground and listened.
"Fuck, it seems like something has been set up."
“It’s quite big!”
Erkui grabbed the hunting rifle and said to Gouzi, "Let's go and take a look. If the bear-man really comes back, we can sell him for money, find him a pretty girl, and have fun with him for a few days..."
"You only know how to play. Last time, you caught a woman running at night, and you killed her straight away, you idiot."
"I've been playing for a long time, and now it's all fucking over."
Erkui laughed strangely, and at the same time, he took out a piece of yellow paper from his bag, stuffed it directly into his mouth and chewed it.
The dog did the same, also took the yellow paper and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I heard that among these villages recently, the female village chief of Fenghuang Village is very beautiful."
"Once we're done, let's go to Phoenix Village and get it for her?"
"no problem!"
Erkui ran out with a whoosh. His bald head reflected the moonlight, and in the forest, Erkui's speed was like a cheetah.
If anyone saw it, they would be shocked.
The dog also squatted down, and then it seemed as if there was wind under its feet and it disappeared.
There was a crack in the ground.
These two people are not ordinary poachers at all.
…
On the other side of the mountain road, Ye Tian was walking slowly in the forest. It was already completely dark, and it was even colder in the deep mountains. Even the spring water in the distance was frozen.
Zhu Jinsheng followed behind him, holding a flashlight and looking at the mountain road vigilantly.
"Brother Ye, are the poachers you mentioned really in the mountains?"
"Why don't you let Little Gray follow? He knows the place."
"Need not!"
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes and observed slowly. As his spiritual energy was stimulated, everything in the forest slowly appeared in Ye Tian's mind.
“Found it!”
Ye Tian finally discovered that on the southwest mountain road, there was a mountain wolf caught in a noose and struggling.
"So soon?"
Zhu Jinsheng wanted to go over, but Ye Tian suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?"
Just when Ye Tian discovered the mountain wolf, he felt a flash of a knife at that position, and the mountain wolf died on the spot.
Ye Tian could not track the dead animal.
"So soon?"
Ye Tian looked back at Zhu Jinsheng again and said softly, "Xiao Zhu, go back."
"Go back? I have to help you!" Zhu Jinsheng followed Ye Tian specifically to avenge Xiao Huihui.
"No, you stay here, I still have to protect you."
"After you return home, stay in the pear forest."
"Activate all the formations for me."
"It's not that serious to just catch a few poachers, is it?" Zhu Jinsheng smiled contemptuously.
"Don't underestimate these poachers. They are able to roam freely in the mountains and forests. Each of them has unique skills."
"I'm an alien, why should I be afraid of them?"
"Hurry back!"
Ye Tian didn't want Zhu Jinsheng to be in danger, so he quickly asked Zhu Jinsheng to leave.
Watching Zhu Jinsheng disappear on the mountain road, Ye Tian's eyes became sharp.
"No matter what, I inherited the legacy of the mountain god. No one can poach in Phoenix Mountain."
Ye Tian headed towards the southwest mountain road, and at the same time, a whistle spread throughout the mountains and forests.
In the distance, Erkui threw the wolf's body into a sack.
"Not a man-bear!"
"Damn, it looks like this man-bear has completely escaped."
Just as Erkui finished speaking, Gouzi sniffed, looked in one direction and said, "There's a human scent. Looks like someone's coming?"
"Forest police?"
Erkui squatted down, hiding in the darkness, but his bald head still reflected the light.
"Play?"
"It just so happens that the beast talisman has enough time. If they are really forest police, kill them all."
"Throw it into the ravine to feed the wild boars and wolves."
"good!"
The dog went in another direction, and there was a rustling sound among the trees.
