Wang Tianxiao looked around. It was still several hundred meters from the west slope, and there weren't many bushes, making it difficult to hide. Logically, there shouldn't be any ferocious beasts around.
Besides, for the beasts to cross this side, they would first have to climb over the peak and then rush down from there. If they had any sense, they wouldn't do that.
The number of wild animals in the mountains is limited. They can live well on the West Peak and generally do not need to come here to find enough food.
Even in the days following a heavy snowfall when food is scarce, they would choose to come to Dongfeng at night if they wanted to.
Under the blazing sun, wild animals are already sensitive to color, so they can't stand it, let alone with snow covering the mountains and plains.
What lies ahead?
The dogs pounced on it, they must have smelled the scent. And their loud, alert barks indicated they had encountered a formidable enemy.
Since there is a mountain ridge not far away, it means that there are wild animals behind the ridge that the dogs are very wary of and that are more aggressive than dogs.
Just then, a black figure appeared on the mountain ridge.
Its jet-black fur gleamed faintly in the sunlight, and its body, over a meter long, exuded a wild power.
It only paused for a second on the mountain ridge before immediately rushing towards Wang Tianxiao.
Behind it, two dogs appeared on the mountain ridge.
Wang Tianxiao frowned, staring incredulously at the guy less than a hundred meters away from him.
It turned out to be a wild boar.
Wang Tianxiao already knew that there were wild boar herds in Ziwu Ridge.
The wild boars here are Mongolian wild boars, with predominantly black or brownish-black fur, and are smaller in size compared to Northeast and North China wild boars.
The largest wild boars in Northeast China can grow to 300-400 kilograms, while adult male Mongolian wild boars typically weigh between 100 and 200 kilograms.
Another characteristic is that the tusks of this type of wild boar male are not as long as those of the Northeast wild boar.
The longest tusks of wild boars in Northeast China can reach eight centimeters, with half of them protruding from the outside of their mouths and the other half inside. In contrast, the tusks of wild boars in Mongolia are relatively shorter, and it is considered good if they can grow to five centimeters.
This Mongolian wild boar has a relatively mild temperament, so it is an important source for domesticating pigs. It is considered to have the closest ancestor to our domestic black pigs and looks most similar to our domestic pigs.
But judging from the current situation, this wild boar is by no means weak. It charged towards us almost without hesitation, so there must be a special reason.
Although wild boars are fierce, they do not attack small animals unless provoked, as 90% of their diet consists of herbivores.
Their anger is more of a passive resistance; they only fight back bravely when they are bullied to the point of no return, when they face life-or-death danger, or when their food is stolen.
As the wild boar ran at high speed, Wang Tianxiao suddenly noticed that it was dragging a string of things behind it.
Upon closer inspection, I couldn't help but gasp in shock.
It turned out to be its intestines.
No wonder it was so ferocious; it must have been attacked by a predator and was in excruciating pain.
**This is a common method for killing wild boars.
This creature has thick skin and tough flesh, making it difficult for dogs or other carnivores to bite it.
Whenever a predator gets close, it will use its long fangs to knock its opponent over.
A dog weighs only a few dozen kilograms, while a wild boar weighs several times more than a dog.
If a dog recklessly tries to bite it, it might get its skin torn open and its internal organs even pulled out if it gets knocked over by its fangs just once.
"I was worried about not having any pork to eat for the New Year in a few days, and this thing just came to my door. I can't refuse it."
Wang Tianxiao wasn't in a hurry. He raised his arms ahead of time, ready to give the wild boar a good beating.
Can.
At that moment, perhaps sensing some kind of danger, the wild boar turned around and ran back the way it came, and the two dogs also turned around and chased after it.
The dogs stayed close to the wild boar, swaying from side to side as it moved, which disrupted Wang Tianxiao's aim, making him hesitant to fire.
He knew very well that with 7.62mm bullets, if he wasn't careful, he could not only kill the wild boar, but also potentially harm the dog.
It's the legendary "two in a row".
As the wild boar and the two dogs ran further and further away, gradually moving out of his effective firing range, Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to quickly put away his gun and follow.
The terrain was very unfavorable to him. He was on the lower side of the ridge, while the wild boar was on the upper side. The wild boar was running at almost the same level as him, but he had to take a shortcut and cut diagonally upwards.
During the high-speed chase, the dog and the wild boar gradually pulled away, but he was unable to fire quickly while moving.
It's quite difficult to lift a gun weighing over ten kilograms without it trembling when it's stationary, let alone when it's moving at high speed.
But as soon as he stops, the dogs and wild boars will run away quickly, and he will lose his shooting angle.
They had no choice but to continue the chase, stumbling along the way.
Wang Tianxiao became increasingly calm as he pursued the matter.
Although he can maintain a relatively constant distance from the wild boar for now, chasing it like this isn't a long-term solution. While the wild boar's attack power is only average, its stamina is incredibly strong.
Humans are no match for him in either speed or endurance.
Whether it's a long-distance run or a short-distance run, you'll gradually fall behind.
Fortunately, the wild boar was already injured, and the two dogs kept blocking its way, limiting its speed and preventing it from running freely.
Otherwise, it would have disappeared long ago.
Because it had snowed a few days ago, the snow on the mountain was in patches, some melting and some not. Wang Tianxiao only had two legs, so he couldn't run as steadily as the dog and the wild boar with four legs. He almost slipped and fell several times.
