"Ah Ying, behave yourself."
Wang Tianxiao patted Aying's head, but saw that the wind beside him was already baring its teeth.
I had no choice but to comfort the little guy again.
It gets extremely angry whenever it sees a jackal.
"Old Cui, you take Dafeng and Aying to the back first, I'll use the rope to lure the wild boar."
"good."
The two had already discussed their plan, so there was no need for further delays. Cui Wanshan quietly slipped out from behind the tent with the two dogs and slowly made his way to a ravine not far away.
This location was chosen by the two of us during the day. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a very small gap, like a cave that has been dug in.
It has an excellent terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Wang Tianxiao followed behind them, leading the wild boar by its rope.
The other end of the rope was still tied to the wild boar's neck. He had also tied some sharp thorns to the rope. With a gentle tug on the rope, the thorns would pierce the wild boar's wound, causing it to squeal.
This painful cry is most attractive to predators like wolves.
The jackals certainly didn't know that the tent with a fire burning at the entrance, which they had surrounded, was just a small trap.
There was no one inside.
Wang Tianxiao dragged the rope across, gently climbed onto the rocks in the ravine, and quietly watched the jackals on the other side.
From the current perspective, they are on the same level as the jackals, while the tents are at a lower position.
Once the jackal goes down, if it wants to escape, it will need to run back up the opposite mountain, which will naturally affect its movement, thus providing him with a convenient terrain for successfully hunting it down.
“Old Cui, don’t hold back just yet. That guy likes to observe from a distance. Based on my experience last time, it’ll probably be about a hundred meters away from where the fight is taking place. Look, if you look from the tent as the center, the only place a hundred meters away is that clump of bushes over there. I think it’s likely that it will be hiding behind that.”
"Haha, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, what you said has really piqued my curiosity about this guy. Are there really such cautious jackals?"
“You’ll see in a moment,” Wang Tianxiao said with a smile. “Let me tell you, when I first saw it, I felt a faint sense of fear. In many ways, it’s smarter than many people. No, I think I should say it’s smarter than most people.”
"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll definitely give it some face."
Cui Wanshan was joking, but he didn't actually look down on him.
"Alright, Lao Cui, you take care of those guys down there. I'll keep an eye on that son of a bitch. Since we've got such a connection, I'll be the one to settle things with him."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on things down there."
"They're here!"
As the two were talking, they saw that the first three jackals or wolves had come to within ten meters of the tent. They lay on the ground, motionless, as if listening to any movement within ten meters.
A dozen or so troops from the second batch were waiting in place a dozen meters away.
The first three are scouts.
Wang Tianxiao saw this and gently tugged at the rope.
Because the rope was quite long, it took some passing to get across. A few seconds later, they heard the wild boar roaring desperately and spinning around frantically, but because its leg was injured, it couldn't move an inch.
The three scouts were startled and turned to run away, but after a few steps, they realized that the wild boar was just squealing in place without making any move, so they turned back and slowly crept over.
Their cautious manner is like that of a thief breaking into someone's house; their level of caution would put even the most notorious thieves to shame.
Flames have an instinctive deterrent effect on all animals, including the three scouts.
They hesitated in front of the flames for a good five or six minutes before slowly walking around them and tiptoeing to the wild boar.
They sniffed at the wild boar, then at the tent. Two of them lay on the ground, staring at the tent, while one quickly ran back a few steps.
It's unclear how they communicated without making a sound, but soon a second wave of a dozen or so jackals slowly approached, mimicking the scouts' actions by circling around the fire and then spreading out to surround the tent layer by layer.
Under the moonlight, the atmosphere seemed especially eerie.
It was like a mysterious ritual.
But strangely, these guys just surrounded the area without attacking, as if they were waiting for something.
"It has appeared."
Wang Tianxiao kept looking at the mountainside in the distance.
His suspicions were indeed correct; three wild animals, two large and one small, slowly emerged from the edge of the bushes.
Judging from their size, the last two can only be moon wolves.
The one in the middle that is obviously much smaller can only be a jackal.
"So what do we do now? Should we shoot?"
Cui Wanshan asked softly.
They were now fifty or sixty meters away from the tent and dared not speak loudly.
Jackals and dogs have similar hearing abilities, and it is even believed that jackals have better hearing than dogs when active in the wild.
If discovered, the element of surprise will be lost.
"Wait a minute. Look at it. It's been walking behind the two moon wolves to prevent us from firing from the tent location, and it can also use the moon wolves' bodies as cover."
"That son of a bitch is really not to be underestimated."
Cui Wanshan also noticed this.
Seeing is believing, and I found that this jackal was indeed very cunning.
"Wait a moment. Our vision isn't very accurate in the moonlight, so there might be some deviation. The closer it is to us, the greater our chances of success. If we miss, we won't have another chance to kill it this time."
