Chapter 293 Hunting ([-])

Among the fourteen wilderness lions, there are two adult male lions, six adult female lions, and six growing cubs.These lion cubs are obviously younger, and their fighting power is not even as good as that of Siberian plain wolves, so they can be ignored.

Calculated in this way, there are actually only thirteen adult beasts.It is equivalent to every three senior hunters having to deal with one fierce beast on average.If three ordinary wilderness hunters were to fight a ferocious beast, there would be no suspense in the outcome.

If 34 well-trained veteran hunters confronted [-] ferocious beasts, the final victory would definitely belong to humans.If it is three thousand against one thousand, the outcome is hard to say.If it is three hundred to one hundred, most of the losers will be humans.Now it is [-] against [-], and the situation can be described as extremely grim.

Veteran hunters all know where the lifeline lies: in this kind of battle, the real main force of the battle is the large ferocious beast, and the auxiliary arm is the Siberian plain wolf known for its tenacity and ferocity.And at this time, small carnivores will also take advantage of the chaos to launch attacks-they don't have to kill humans, as long as they can tear off a piece of fresh meat in the chaos, these small carnivores will be satisfied.

If they can survive the first short and intense battle and kill enough Siberian plain wolves and small carnivores, then the human side will have a chance.On the one hand, this kind of victory can give enough deterrence to large beasts. On the other hand, as long as there are enough corpses, whether it is Siberian plain wolves, small carnivores or wild dogs, hungry herds will not be picky eaters.Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be enough corpses, otherwise the large beasts will continue to attack humans.If there are enough corpses, the beasts may choose to eat on the spot under the balance, so that humans may take the opportunity to escape.

Facing the herd starting to stir, a young rookie asked his father, "Is there any chance of our escape this time?"

The cold wind of the wilderness left a fortitude line like a knife on the face of this veteran hunter.As can be seen from the slightly graying hair, he is about 50 years old.Unlike castle nobles who can easily live past 80, wastelanders rarely live past 60.In fact, in the last days, human beings are at their peak physical fitness at the age of 40. If they are well maintained, they will not go downhill until they are 50 years old.The father's physical fitness may have begun to decline, but in the eyes of the son who has just passed the coming-of-age ceremony, the father is still synonymous with being tall, strong and reliable.

Facing his son's inquiry, the father remained silent, but his expression was as ugly as it should be.

The other senior hunters ignored the conversation between the father and son, and they held their breaths as they prepared for battle.At this time, Luo Dayou suddenly said to the person beside him, "Give me your bow."

In previous hunts, Luo Dayou had already established enough prestige with his strength and accuracy.Therefore, that person did not question Luo Dayou's almost commanding tone, but obediently handed Luo Dayou the best bow in Nine-headed Bird Village.

Luo Dayou took the bow, loaded the arrow, and pulled it into a full moon effortlessly.

He frowned slightly, muttered "It's still a little soft", and then shot the arrow.As soon as the arrow left the string, a Siberian plain wolf was firmly nailed to the ground 200 meters away.The vitality of wild beasts is very strong. Although the wolf's torso was completely pierced, it would not die quickly for a while, so the miserable howl suddenly broke the peace of the wasteland.This sudden blow even disrupted the beast's attacking rhythm.

Strictly speaking, the reason why the wolf fell into such a fate was mainly due to making the same empirical error as the previous hares and voles.

Excellent compound bows and longbows can shoot more than 200 meters.But in fact, the wilderness people would not launch an attack at this distance.It takes a lot of effort to draw the bow, and the average hunter can only draw six to eight full bows in a short period of time.The probability of "head-on" shooting a prey 200 meters away is no higher than killing two birds with one stone.

All the hunters involuntarily turned their gazes to Luo Dayou, and some of them turned from admiration to admiration.Luo Dayou pulled out another arrow with a blank expression, and put it on the bowstring casually.I just got the bow, and I haven't fully familiarized myself with it yet, so I missed the shot—it can only be said that the wolf was really unlucky.

The chaos of the herd was soon over.Being attacked at a distance of 200 meters surprised them, but it was not enough to dissuade them from attacking.

In less than a minute, the beast rushed towards the crowd from all directions.The resentment of a Siberian plain wolf is also the resentment of a pack of wolves, and the resentment of a pack of wolves can make any member of the pack resent for life.

The fastest rush was a pack of Siberian plain wolves.

They sprint like wild dogs, can cover distances of up to six meters per step, and can run 20 meters per second. The distance of 200 meters can be run in only ten seconds.In such a short period of time, an experienced hunter on the wasteland can shoot three or four arrows, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.Generally speaking, experienced hunters will shoot two or three arrows quickly, and it is completely left to fate whether they hit or not.For the last arrow, they will wait until the target is about 30 meters away before shooting. In this case, the accuracy can reach up to 50%.After shooting this arrow, most hunters ditch the bow and replace it with a javelin that can serve as a short spear.

During this process, Luo Dayou shot a total of five arrows, four of which made great achievements, and severely injured five Siberian wolves in total. The last arrow completely shot through the wolf in front, and then nailed the wolf in the back.

After the fifth arrow left the string, Luo Dayou yelled "Formation", and then the hunters retreated and formed a circular formation.The hunters holding javelins stood on the outside, the rookie and some of the best shooters retreated into the circle, and the wild dogs squatted at the feet of the outside hunters, ready to jump out and fight with the most ferocious beasts at any time.

Although the humans formed a tight hedgehog formation, the beasts rushed towards the dense crowd without hesitation.They have to.Although the rookies in the circle hold javelins as weapons, throwing javelins is forbidden.The javelins thrown by the rookies are most likely to be thrown in the open space, followed by the experienced hunters who throw the outer circle, and the possibility of throwing the wild beast is the least.However, in addition to rookies who are ready to take over from veteran hunters at any time, there are still a few outstanding shooters in the inner circle.At close range, if these excellent shooters can shoot calmly, the possibility of shooting empty is almost equal to zero.Therefore, the beast must immediately pounce on the hedgehog formation, thereby forcing the hunters in the outer circle who are in charge of melee combat to keep moving.In this way, archers dare not shoot arrows lightly, lest they accidentally hurt their own people.

Luo Dayou also retreated into the inner circle.He returned the bow to its original owner and drew his pistol.
