Wang Tianxiao continued, "Look at the two injured jackals, listen to their cries. Aren't they very rhythmic? Jackals don't usually cry like that. If it were just because of pain, they should be crying out more pitifully and chaotically. But can you find any chaos in their cries? No, you can't."
After careful examination, Wang Tianxin nodded: "It seems there really isn't one. It sounds very rhythmic, as if it's calling for something."
"The calls aren't necessarily calls, but they're definitely communicating with their companions; we just can't understand the meaning of their calls. So, don't feel sorry for them; you'll soon find out how cruel they are."
Wang Tianxiao turned to look at Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai, "Brother Wenhua, Brother Qiancai, you two are the same. If you run into each other at close range later, don't hold back, just chop the bastards down."
“Yes, we know,” Wu Wenhua said.
Wu Qiancai nodded as well.
At this moment, Wang Tianxin pointed into the distance and suddenly said, "Brother, look there, yes, yes, that's the direction, aren't there a few shadows?"
Wang Tianxiao looked closely and thought he could see it, but he couldn't make it out very clearly.
His eyesight is slightly nearsighted, not as good as Wang Tianxin's.
He set up the gun, pointed it in that direction, looked through the scope for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, there are three jackals. They look like old jackals. Young jackals don't look like this when they run."
"Are they... coming?" Wang Tianxin swallowed.
“Hmm, judging from the direction they’re running, they seem to be coming this way, but…” Wang Tianxiao frowned slightly, “the number is a bit off.”
What does "the quantity is incorrect" mean?
"Dholes are social animals, and they usually live in groups of at least a dozen to compensate for their lack of fighting ability. Therefore, the dholes we see are usually attacking in groups, and rarely act alone or in small numbers."
"Three? That's too few."
"Hmm, that's a bit few. Three won't pose any real threat to us. You saw it just now; those two jackals were no match for our dogs. What use would three more be? They'd just be free food."
Wang Tianxin nodded. "That makes sense."
While the two brothers were talking, the two brothers behind them remained silent. They were excellent executors; they would carry out whatever Wang Tianxiao said, but when they didn't say anything, they would wait quietly without interfering.
Wang Tianxiao trusted them especially because of this quality.
"If that's the case, it proves they must have a backup plan. You said they're cunning, so do they have other methods?"
"It should be."
Wang Tianxiao watched as the jackal in the scope got closer and closer, until it was within easy and accurate range of the gun.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should just knock him down first.
But after thinking about it, he didn't pull the trigger.
Since these three jackals are the vanguard, it proves that the real main force is still hidden in the shadows, and they are only sent out to disrupt the line of sight or to explore the ambush location.
If he were to fire, it would undoubtedly alert the enemy, and killing only a few jackals would clearly not achieve his objective.
So he decided to wait.
Anyway, the range of the gun is at least 500 meters. As long as they are within 500 meters, they have no way to escape and will become victims of the gun sooner or later.
While they were lying in wait, three jackals ran to within about two hundred meters of the gun and stopped, no longer approaching but running left and right as if they were patrolling for something.
Because the observation distance from the muzzle of the gun was limited, and the three jackals were moving back and forth, Wang Tianxiao's eyes got a little tired after a while, so he simply put down the gun and observed them directly with his naked eyes.
Anyway, a distance of one or two hundred meters is enough for the naked eye to see clearly.
The snow was all white, the coniferous forests were all green, and the jackals were like mounds of earth, easy to spot, with almost nowhere to hide.
He was curious about what the three jackals were waiting for.
Waiting for the main group seems a bit unwise.
Even the fiercest animal fears a gun.
In the face of firearms like guns, any cold weapon or bare hands are just a paper tiger.
That's why it's said that a gun is fastest beyond seven steps, and accurate and fast within seven steps.
No matter how cunning or fast a jackal is, it can't match the astonishing speed of a gun.
Once they appear within the firing range of a gun, they are basically declared corpses, with no chance of ever truly escaping.
The reason they are still alive is simply because Wang Tianxiao is using them as bait for a deeper level of intimidation, waiting for them to summon other jackals and start a massacre.
Time slowly passed.
We watched as the sun slowly set behind the mountaintop opposite us.
The weather is getting cold.
The temperature difference between day and night in Qingcheng is already large, and this difference becomes even more pronounced when you reach the top of the mountain.
Fortunately, when the four of them left, Wang Tianxiao anticipated that they might have to wait until midnight, so he made everyone wear warm clothes in advance. When the sun was out in the afternoon, Wang Tianxin felt a bit hot and complained that Wang Tianxiao had gone to too much trouble.
Only now do I realize that my brother was farsighted.
If I hadn't put on extra clothes, I would have been freezing by now, let alone waiting for prey.
"I understand now, this jackal is just trying to stall for time." Wang Tianxiao suddenly realized.
"Buying time?"
"Yes, compared to wild animals, our eyesight is naturally weaker at night, and the temperature on the mountaintop at night is more than ten degrees lower than during the day, which the jackals know. They wanted to wait until dark to attack, and those three jackals were just bait they gave us..."
