Chen Dazhuang asked.
It's cloudy today, so I can't tell the time by the position of the sun.
However, it should be around three or four in the afternoon.
The sun will set after five o'clock, so they should return to the village.
But today's harvest was too little, just a few wild rabbits and a snake. This was the worst day of hunting during this period.
“Squeak!”
Suddenly, the little monkey cried out.
And it was the kind of sound that comes from discovering prey.
The two of them suddenly became alert and looked hurriedly at the little monkey, following its line of sight.
"Nothing!"
Chen Dazhuang asked in confusion.
"No, chase!"
Chen Wang rushed over directly.
"What did you see?"
Chen Dazhuang hurried to follow.
Chen Wang didn't need to answer, he saw it too.
It was a gray-brown muntjac, running quickly in the grass not far ahead.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, we must kill this muntjac today."
Chen Dazhuang shouted excitedly and ran even faster, eventually getting ahead of Chen Wang.
What the two men didn't know was that in a bush not far in front of the muntjac, there was a grass-yellow, cat-like animal crawling.
It didn't move at all, and the color of its fur blended in with the surrounding dead grass, making it extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye.
This is a lynx, also known as a tiger cub.
Like tigers and lions, it belongs to the cat family. It is not large in size, but it is a predator with strong adaptability and a fierce personality, and can hunt carnivores larger than itself.
Lynx are usually active at dusk or dawn and are nocturnal animals, but they will hunt during the day when necessary.
In the grass, a pair of pupils stared closely at the muntjac that was getting closer and closer.
The muntjac was being chased by humans and was completely unaware of the impending danger.
Suddenly, a yellow shadow rushed out from the bushes, knocked the muntjac to the ground in a flash, and bit its sharp teeth directly on the muntjac's neck.
Blood splattered, the muntjac's entire body twitched and struggled, its life force rapidly weakened.
When Chen Wang and the other man saw this scene, they subconsciously stopped and looked shocked.
The lynx let go of the dead muntjac, looked at the two men with cold eyes, bent its limbs to lower its center of gravity, and assumed a fighting stance.
Generally speaking, animals' first reaction when they encounter humans is to run away.
But at the moment, the lynx was obviously unwilling to let go of its prey, not to mention that it was hungry.
"Fuck, it's a tiger cub. This thing is very ferocious."
Chen Dazhuang was both excited and nervous, holding his shotgun tightly and aiming it at the lynx.
"Be careful."
Chen Wang was also alert and ready to shoot at any time.
He had also heard from his master that the fact that a lynx is called a tiger cub is enough to illustrate how dangerous it is.
Although it is only slightly larger than a domestic cat, it is extremely fast and its strengths are running, jumping, and climbing.
There is a hidden law in nature, which is that carnivores generally do not hunt carnivores.
Cows and sheep eat grass, tigers and wolves eat meat, and even during hunting, if two carnivores meet, they will try their best to avoid each other.
Lynx are an exception, forgoing easier herbivores to hunt carnivores like wolves.
"roar……"
This lynx had probably never seen humans before, nor had it seen dangerous weapons like shotguns. It growled at the two men, trying to scare them away.
"Bang!!"
Chen Dazhuang fired directly.
Lynx fur is an extremely precious fur product, even more valuable than bear skin and deerskin.
Now that I have come across it, I definitely can’t let it go.
Animals like lynx have a very keen sense of danger.
Almost at the moment Chen Dazhuang fired the shot, the lynx moved, leaping up with its nimble body, causing the bullet to hit the ground directly.
"Fuck, it's so hard to hit!"
Chen Dazhuang couldn't help but swear.
The lynx was obviously frightened by the shotgun. It quickly rushed to the tree next to it and climbed up, its speed almost even faster than that of the monkey.
"Bang!!!"
Chen Wang fired.
When he failed to find the black bear, he replaced the deer bullets in his shotgun with slugs.
The single-barreled bullet has a longer shooting distance, is easier to aim, has stronger penetration, and most importantly, will not damage the leather.
When the lynx dodged Chen Dazhuang's bullet, he began to aim at the direction of the lynx's escape and gave it a certain lead time. Until the lynx escaped to the tree and entered the crosshairs, he decisively pulled the trigger.
The prey was moving too fast and he wasn't absolutely sure, but he had no choice but to take a chance.
"Beautiful, I got it right!"
Chen Dazhuang shouted excitedly.
He saw a blooming blood flower.
Sure enough, the lynx fell from the tree.
But it did not lose its ability to move. Instead, it rushed straight towards the two of them.
