Chapter 130 Three Pigs Fight One Bear
This mountain forest has a lot of broad-leaved trees, especially oak and walnut trees.
In autumn, many people come here to pick walnuts and jujubes.
Wild boars love coming to places like this, where they can eat their fill and gain weight.
Wild boars and black bears are both omnivores, and their diets overlap to some extent.
Especially during this season, pecans and scallions are their favorite foods.
Black bears have a strong sense of territory and will be very hostile to wild boars that invade their territory.
But wild boars are tyrannical and domineering, only caring about eating, going wherever there is food, and not caring whose territory it is.
As a result, wild boars and black bears are bound to clash due to various reasons such as territory and food.
The three wild boars at the foot of the hillside likely trespassed into the black bear's territory and were trying to steal its food.
Therefore, the black bear got angry and started fighting with the three wild boars.
At this moment, none of the people lying on the hillside dared to speak, or even breathe loudly.
They were afraid that if they weren't careful, the four big guys below would notice them.
If they scare them away, that's a small matter. But if these guys go berserk and charge at us, the few of them might not be a match for them.
Wang Jianshe winked at Sheng Xiping and asked him what to do now, whether to shoot those guys down there.
Sheng Xiping shook his head, not allowing Wang Jianshe to act rashly.
The situation is unclear at the moment, and the distance is far, so there is no guarantee of a successful strike.
Let's observe for a while and see if there's an opportunity to make a move. If not, we'll just lie there quietly and wait for the outcome to be decided.
So the group of people carefully lay down on the hillside and looked down.
At this time, the battle below the hillside became increasingly fierce.
The black bear chased the three wild boars uphill, getting closer and closer to where Sheng Xiping and the others were hiding.
As they got closer, the people on the mountaintop could clearly see what was happening below.
The three wild boars were all males weighing around 300 pounds, with stiff, coarse black bristles.
The fangs on both sides of the upper and lower jaws are curved and turned outwards.
Four sturdy little legs, small pointed ears, a long pointed mouth, a short tail that swayed from side to side from time to time, and a mane that stood up in a messy, slanted manner.
As the three wild boars ran, white breath escaped from their foamy mouths. They also made occasional grunting noises.
The black bear behind the three pigs has jet-black fur with a slight sheen, and a crescent-shaped white patch of fur on its chest.
This guy is about the same size as a person when he stands up. I guess he ate a lot in the fall, and he's probably quite fat and strong, weighing around 400 pounds.
The black bear has thick forearms and a bulging back, making it look like a moving black hill.
As it chased after the three wild boars, it let out roars of "Oh!" and "Awooo!"
After their previous bear hunt, Wang Jianshe and his men had become much bolder.
Although the bear's roar was enough to send chills down their spines, this time they weren't so frightened that their legs went weak and their hands trembled.
As the three pigs and one bear got closer and closer to the mountaintop, Sheng Xiping waved to the crowd and then pressed his hand down.
They signaled to everyone to keep their bodies low to the ground and not make any noise, so as not to let the wild boars and black bears smell them.
Fortunately, a northerly wind was blowing today, and Sheng Xiping and his group were downwind, while the four below were constantly fighting, so they didn't notice anyone on the hillside.
About two hundred meters below where Sheng Xiping and the others were lying, the terrain suddenly became steep.
The three wild boars ran down the steep slope, then suddenly turned around and stopped running around.
Then, the three wild boars stood in three directions, surrounding the black bear that was chasing them from behind.
Six sharp, knife-like fangs were aimed at the black bear, and its small, dark eyes gleamed with ferocity.
It seems these three wild boars are prepared to fight to the death against the black bear.
The three wild boars got into position and began to charge at the black bear in turns, nudging it with their snouts and poking it with their tusks.
Despite its large size, the black bear is quite agile and easily evaded the wild boar's attack.
At the same time, seizing the opportunity, it slapped the wild boar's shoulder with its huge bear paw.
After a few slaps, the three wild boars were injured to varying degrees. They rolled on the ground a few times, grunting and howling, before struggling to get up.
Compared to black bears, black bears are smarter, but wild boars are far more stubborn and fearless.
At this moment, the three wild boars were clearly desperate. Since there was no way to retreat, they would fight to the death.
Down the steep slope, three wild boars surrounded the black bear, using their powerful bodies to ram it.
Three boars and one bear moved nimbly, the wild boars attacking with charges, nudging, and thrusting, while the black bear countered with pounces, claws, and bites.
From the bottom of the steep slope, roars of "howling" and "humphing" could be heard rising and falling.
The surrounding mountains were completely silent; all the birds and beasts in the forest had hidden themselves away.
The three pigs and one bear fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds.
Both sides were exhausted and panting heavily, so their fighting movements slowed down.
Sheng Xiping took this opportunity to make a hand gesture to Wang Jianshe and mouth the words.
He gestured for Wang Jianshe to shoot the pig, while he aimed at the black bear.
Generally speaking, large wild animals rarely fight to the death. Once the battle becomes stalemate, the smarter one will try to escape.
How could Sheng Xiping possibly miss such a great opportunity?
No matter what, at least one of the four must remain today.
Wild boars are easy to hunt, so Wang Jianshe will take them, while Sheng Xiping will focus on black bears.
Sheng Xiping and Wang Jianshe and others have known each other for so long that they have developed a good understanding.
The two men aimed at the target simultaneously and pulled the triggers at almost the same time.
Two loud "bangs" were heard, and a wild boar at the bottom of the steep slope let out a pitiful "squeak".
Wang Jianshe's marksmanship was quite good; this shot hit the wild boar right behind its shoulder blade.
The bullet went in through the small eye and out through the big eye, piercing the chamber, and the wild boar screamed and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the big black bear was also shot; the bullet hit its chest, in the crescent-shaped white fur.
The black bear stumbled forward and fell, changing from an upright position to a prone position.
This black bear is incredibly resilient; it was hit in the chest but could still move and pounced up the steep slope.
Climbing steep slopes is difficult for wild boars, but it's no problem for black bears.
Of course, the severely injured black bear was not as quick as it used to be, and it was a little too weak to climb the steep slope.
At this moment, Sheng Xiping fired a second shot.
The shot hit the black bear squarely in the head. Already exhausted, the bear staggered and rolled down the steep slope after being hit.
It rolled quite a distance before stopping and lying there motionless.
On the steep slope, Wang Jianshe fired the first shot and immediately pressed the handle to reload.
Sheng Xiping stood up and fired several shots at the other two wild boars that had come to their senses and turned to run away.
