A fat badger was moving its plump body, looking for beans to eat in the furrows of the field.
Autumn is the season for all animals to fatten up, and they eat voraciously in order to survive the winter safely.
Soybeans are rich in oil and protein, and have extremely high nutritional value, making them a favorite of badgers.
With delicious food in front of it, the fat badger was so engrossed in eating that it lost its vigilance and ignored the changes around it.
Although Hua Hua is small, her hunting instincts have awakened in her bones. She is careful and cautious with every step and does not make a sound.
The badger had no idea that danger was quietly approaching.
Hua Hua crouched low, almost crawling forward, quietly and inching closer to the badger.
The paw pads on the tiger's paws played a crucial role at this moment, preventing it from making a sound.
When it was less than ten meters away from the badger, the little tiger Huahua suddenly accelerated, leaped forward, and bit the badger's neck.
Hua Hua is still a cub; her milk teeth haven't fallen out yet, so they're not as sharp as an adult tiger's.
In addition, it was too small and its bite force was not strong enough, so it failed to bite the badger's throat directly, but it still bit the badger quite badly.
Badgers have thick skin and very sharp claws. In a life-or-death situation, this guy raised his claws with all his might and scratched Hua Hua.
It is said that, in the eyes of felines, the actions of other animals are all in slow motion.
Whether it's true or not, the badger was indeed dodged by Flower in time.
Hua Hua took a step back, raised her sharp claws, and slashed at the badger's head.
If it were a fully grown tiger, it could probably tear the badger's head apart with a single claw. Although Hua Hua didn't have that much strength, it still managed to scratch the badger's head until the skin was torn and blood gushed out immediately.
The smell of blood ignited Hua Hua's wild instincts.
The little guy stood up on his hind legs and attacked with lightning speed, his two front paws scratching the badger's head until it bled profusely.
Caught off guard by Flower's series of attacks, the badger was seriously injured and had little strength left to fight back.
Finally, Hua Hua pounced and bit the badger's throat again. This time, she didn't let go and bit the badger until it was completely still.
Hunting down a badger weighing about ten pounds is quite an achievement for a little tiger like Hua Hua.
Tonight's hunt has fully unleashed the little guy's ferocity, and the smell of blood has further stimulated its nerves.
Hua Hua couldn't wait to tear open the soft fur on the badger's belly and savor the delicious spoils of her victory.
Large felines have a habit of growling while eating, which serves as a warning to other animals not to approach.
Although Hua Hua is small, its innate instincts make it hide in a corner and make whimpering noises whenever it eats meat.
Sheng Xiping stood about twenty meters away from Huahua, watching as Huahua successfully hunted the badger. Sheng Xiping nodded, quite satisfied, and turned to leave.
Previously, Sheng Xiping had been worried that Hua Hua's wild instincts might have deteriorated since she was raised by humans, and she might not be able to adapt to hunting in the future.
Looking at it now, there's not much to worry about. This little guy is smart and fierce, and given time, he will surely become the top predator in this forest.
While Hua Hua was enjoying her meal, Sheng Xiping didn't go over to disturb her. Instead, he headed towards Erlang Shen and the others.
At this moment, Erlang Shen and the leopard father and son had already killed a badger.
The dogs don't eat badger meat; they kill it and leave it aside while they continue searching for their next prey.
Sheng Xiping walked over, threw the dead badger into the sack, and then walked towards Black General and Fat Tiger.
Black General was currently biting the head of a badger, while Fat Tiger and Little Yellow were biting the badger's hind legs. With each of the three dogs exerting their strength, the badger was about to be torn to pieces by the three dogs.
Fortunately, Sheng Xiping arrived in time and broke the badger's lumbar spine with the butt of his gun.
The three dogs let go, and Sheng Xiping smashed the badger twice more with the butt of his gun, killing it.
The land behind is over 500 acres, a very large area. It's very close to the mountains and forests, and there are quite a few badgers around.
Under the cover of night, the badgers went into the fields to look for food. Erlang Shen and his companions also searched for targets, and once they found one, they went over and bit it.
These dogs are experienced and work together seamlessly. They can handle wild boars and black bears with ease, let alone a few badgers.
Before long, Erlang Shen killed another badger. Sheng Xi'an hurriedly went over, put the badger into a sack and carried it on his back.
After Erlang Shen and General Hei searched the area, the badgers that were foraging for food on the back of the earth were either caught and killed, or they sensed something was wrong and ran away.
Sheng Xiping and his group wandered around Houdadi until after nine o'clock, catching four badgers. One of them was killed by Huahua, so it was still a pretty good haul.
"Let's go back. We can come again tomorrow night if we feel like it."
These past few days, with the autumn harvest and the work of watching over the crops, the two brothers have been quite exhausted. They should stop when they've had enough and not be too greedy.
Badger meat isn't that tasty; it's mostly badger oil. Four badgers can make a lot of oil, enough for this winter.
Sheng Xiping whistled, and the dogs that were still running around on the ground immediately turned around and ran back when they heard the whistle.
Hua Hua, the little tiger who had finished eating, heard the whistle and waddled over to Sheng Xiping, nuzzling his leg with her head.
Sheng Xiping squatted down and patted Hua Hua's head.
"Good job, Hua Hua! You can catch badgers by yourself now. Have you eaten your fill? I'll take you to catch more tomorrow night."
