This is an extremely vast estate. In addition to an artificial grassland of more than 10,000 square meters specifically for hunting hares, there are even several sizable hills surrounding the back. The estate also houses many wild animals, including not only docile wild animals such as muntjacs and sika deer, but also ferocious beasts such as wolves, bears, and wild boars.
These wild animals are used as prey for the guests who come here. According to Wenfei, a single visit here is quite expensive, and even the registration fee for this hunting competition is not a small amount.
However, this amount of money is nothing to Wenfei and Xu Jiaming.
The hunting competition was indeed quite large in scale. By the time Chen Chongshan and his group arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered in the open space in front of the ecological farm.
A variety of hunting dogs gathered for the competition, barking at each other. In addition to common hunting dogs such as Dogo Argentino, Xia Si, Laizhou Red, and Chinese Rural Dog, there were also various mixed breeds, which made it difficult for Xu Jiaming and his companions to identify them.
However, even with so many hunting dogs gathered here, Ah Huang was still an anomaly. Its enormous size made it stand out like a crane among chickens.
Even the large mixed-breed hunting dogs in the arena weighed only 70 or 80 pounds, and some Dogo Argentinos weighed around 100 pounds. There was simply no other dog like Ah Huang that weighed over 150 pounds.
The hunting dogs that participated in the competition were all well-trained and excellent. They were not very aggressive towards their own kind, so although a large number of hunting dogs gathered and there were some barking noises, the overall situation was fine and no chaos occurred.
Moreover, the hunters who came here to participate in the competition were all wealthy young men from noble families, and they were all quite well-mannered, so no conflicts broke out for a while.
Once most of the participants had arrived, the organizers announced the competition rules. This year's competition will continue to promote knife hunting, seeking the most primitive hunting methods and passion.
The organizers will release a black bear, five wolves, ten wild boars, twenty muntjacs, and twenty deer on the hill behind the area, and the hunt will last for one day.
Because the hunting difficulty of various wild animals varies, the organizers have adopted a points system: one hundred points for a black bear, thirty points for a wolf, twenty points for a wild boar, and ten points for the rest. The team with the highest score wins and takes home a prize of 100,000 yuan.
This competition has a very complete format. Each team is only allowed three people and no more than ten hunting dogs. Wen Fei already knew all of this, so their team just met the requirements of the competition.
Some people raised objections to the points awarded to wolves and wild boars, and the organizers provided explanations for these objections.
Wolves are pack animals, and five wild wolves released would definitely live together, which greatly increases the difficulty and danger of hunting. Wild boars, on the other hand, are solitary animals, and wild boars are very common in the southern mountains and forests. Most hunting dogs have extensive experience hunting wild boars, making wild boars easier to hunt than wolves.
Moreover, although the wild boars released into the mountains of the hunting grounds are pure wild boars caught in the wild forests, they all weigh between 150 and 200 pounds and are not very big, so the difficulty is not high.
As for the bear, no one raised any questions.
The Great Black Fiend in the mountains is exceptionally powerful. Ordinary hunting dogs would find it difficult to even tear through its fur, let alone hunt it down.
Even the organizers felt that releasing the black bear would only increase the variety of prey and the thrill of the hunt, and that no team would be able to hunt it down, since this was a knife hunt and firearms were not allowed.
………………
After the competition rules were announced, Xu Jiaming was extremely excited. He was used to a life of ease and comfort and had always been very interested in these thrilling and exciting activities.
Xu Jiaming had already found hunting wild boars in the mountains thrilling, but this time, there were not only wild boars, but also wolves and black bears—real carnivorous beasts, truly brutal creatures capable of attacking humans.
Xu Jiaming was already incredibly excited just looking at the pictures on the big screen, and Chen Chongshan also felt his blood boiling. Before this, he had never left Chu Nan Province, nor had he ever been to a zoo. He had only ever seen wolves and black bears on television.
But now, he was actually going to take Ah Huang to hunt such a creature. Although he was a little nervous, he was still very much looking forward to it.
Since these wild animals were all real wild creatures collected by the organizers from the mountains and forests, they were extremely dangerous and aggressive. In order to prevent accidents, the organizers not only installed cameras in every corner of the mountains and forests, but also stationed security teams in several places in the mountains and forests.
Each hunting team was even issued a hunting rifle, but this rifle was only for self-defense. Except in emergencies, no team was allowed to use the rifle to attack prey. Any team that used the rifle would be disqualified from the competition, and all their results would be reset to zero.
This is also to prevent some teams from risking danger in order to achieve good results in the competition.
………………
After explaining all the details of the competition, the competition began. This time, a total of twelve teams participated, and more than one hundred hunting dogs, led by their owners, quickly entered the forest from various directions.
Once the hunting began, Chen Chongshan undoubtedly became the leader of the team. After the competition started, he did not act hastily. It wasn't until almost all the other teams had gone up the mountain that Chen Chongshan led Xu Jiaming, Wen Fei, and the pack of hunting dogs to a pathless spot and entered the forest.
Chen Chongshan had already observed that the fewest teams entered Shanglin from this direction, so entering from here would offer more opportunities.
Upon entering the forest, the two Dogo Argentinos remained leashed, while Ah Huang and the three Xia Si dogs were already familiar with the route and were searching for the dangerous path ahead.
The four tabby dogs still harbored some resentment towards Ah Huang. Instead of joining Ah Huang's group, the four of them went off on their own on the other side.
Fortunately, these dogs didn't stray too far from the hunters when they were smelling the stench, and they all went in the same direction. Chen Chongshan and the other two held their daggers in their hands and followed the hunting dogs at a leisurely pace. Although they had experienced many hunts like this before, this time the prey was different, and they were all a little nervous.
