Chapter 413 This beast is so bold
Jackals are also known locally as jackals and bulldogs.
They have a body shape like a dog, with a wide head and a mouth as thin as a fox, semi-circular ears, mostly reddish fur, and a thick tail that gradually turns to black in color at the end.
Although this beast is smaller than the wolf, in terms of ferocity, the wolf is still inferior.
Wolves are mostly female wolves.
As for the jackal group, it is dominated by male animals.
When equal numbers of wolves and jackals encounter each other, it is often the wolves that retreat in the end.
It sounds incredible.
That's because people are not familiar with jackals.
This beast is extremely courageous.
Not even afraid of tigers.
Often bullying leopards, bears, and lynxes by taking advantage of the group advantage, driving them away, and then forcibly taking food from their mouths.
It can be said that jackals have similar temperaments to African hyenas. There is no lower limit. They will do anything for food. They often like to get something for nothing. They are very annoying beasts.
But even so, there are no tigers in the mountains, and no wild beasts can afford to provoke a group of jackals.
When Chen Ling and others went into the mountains the year before last, they encountered a group of jackals. After dawn, they went to pick up meat and found many jackal bodies with their internal organs eviscerated.
That was the body left behind after their companions killed it, gutted it and ate it.
Jackals eat their own kind.
No matter how ferocious a wolf or tiger is, they will never eat their own kind.
You can see its ferocious side.
So Chen Ling discovered that there were jackals around.
Be vigilant immediately.
This thing is brave for one thing.
In addition, it is smart and cunning, and can trick and deceive its prey to test its true nature.
Wang Lixian and Liu Guangli both reminded him that when a jackal appears in front of you, you should be careful.
This is what it deliberately lets you see.
In fact, at this time, other jackals had already been ambushed in secret.
When you are attracted by the jackals within sight, other jackals will take advantage of you and suddenly launch a sneak attack on you.
There is a saying to describe the cunning of wolves, it is called [The wolf pretends to be asleep in front of you to lure the enemy. 】
It is also very appropriate to describe a jackal.
And they are only more cunning than wolves.
...
Sure enough, after Chen Ling, one person and two dogs spotted the traces of jackals in the distance, they instantly became alert.
The next second, Heiwa Xiaojin suddenly stared at two places, one on the left and one on the right, with sharp and cold eyes and a whine in his mouth.
He lay down on the ground, slumped his waist and arched his back, ready to attack at any time.
These two places are not on the other side of the stream.
Instead, the areas near them, one on the left and one on the right, one in the south and one in the north, are all areas where tall and dense grass and messy shrubs grow.
These wild grasses in the mountains are more than one meter high and affect the view.
Although Chen Ling couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, the reactions of the two dogs said everything.
"Damn it, it's broad daylight, how come these jackals are moving around here? Isn't this the territory of the wolves..."
Chen Ling cursed in a low voice, letting the two The dog didn't move yet. He took out a shotgun from the cave and fired two shots at those two places.
Bang bang, bang bang——
After the gunshot, the tall weed poles in the two places were seen shaking, followed by a burst of rustling movement accompanied by "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. -" A sound similar to someone blowing an iron whistle came out.
The cry is strange, short and sharp.
At the same time, there were sneaky red shadows peeping out from the grass, stepping on the grass to make a "click, click" noise, and making a whistle-like sound while stepping on it. There was more movement.
If this were at night, it would be enough to make people shudder.
Jackals are very brave.
Ordinary wild animals are extremely afraid of gunshots and will flee when they hear gunshots.
But they are not afraid.
Chen Ling fired twice in two places, but they still showed no signs of panic.
And still lingering here.
Harassing one person and two dogs in two places on the left and right.
This allows one person and two dogs to look to the left and not the right, and then wait for opportunities to attack.
Jackals are best at teasing and harassing enemies.
This is their deliberate trick.
“Woo, woof woof woof!”
The behavior of these jackals completely angered the two Hei Wa.
The two dogs rarely meet rivals in the mountains. They have their own arrogance, how can they stand this kind of provocation.
Dang even roared fiercely, wanting to pounce on those two places and teach them a lesson.
"Ignore them, they dare to cheat, we won't let them get what they want. Let's go to the opposite hillside and pick up the lone one."
Chen Ling glanced at two bushes. , waved to the two dogs, took the lead in striding across the stream, and charged towards the opposite hillside.
When the two dogs heard the order, they yelled excitedly, jumped out suddenly, left Chen Ling behind in a few steps, and pounced fiercely towards the lone jackal on the hillside.
One person and two dogs suddenly came to kill each other, startling the jackal.
When jackals are said to be bold, it is only when they have an absolute numerical advantage. At that time, they are especially bold and are not afraid at all when facing the giant lynx and tigers that are killers of wolves.
He even dared to lure the tiger into pursuit, leaving the remaining jackals to steal the tiger's food.
But now it was alone. Facing Chen Ling alone and two dogs, it was at an extreme disadvantage and immediately panicked. At this time, it was too late to escape. Xiaojin was very fast and was close to him in the blink of an eye. He opened his ferocious mouth and rushed toward it, revealing his white teeth.
So, the jackal just turned around and was about to run, but before he could run, he was caught up by Xiao Jin.
In extreme panic, the jackal let out a hoarse cry, and at the same time his body instinctively reacted to avoidance. Like a light cat, he arched his back and jumped directly into the air. Jump out three or four meters.
This is the great thing about jackals. They can cross a ditch five or six meters wide.
Much more powerful than a wolf.
But Xiao Jin is not easy to deal with either.
Not only is it faster than Heiwa, but it is also very capable of jumping. Earlier, when it was four or five months old, it could jump up the wall and summon a group of dogs on a rainy night.
It was even more at home in the mountains. With the speed of sprinting from a distance, it paused for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, stepped on the tree trunk next to it, and jumped directly to this tree with the help of its strength. The jackal was in front of him and instantly threw him to the ground, biting the back of his neck.
Just like a martial arts master who knows Qinggong, chasing the enemy who is fleeing, he kicks his feet on the tree, uses the force to do a somersault in mid-air, and lands directly in front of the enemy. When the enemy reacts , there is already a long sword across the neck.
That is quite chic.
Just one word, handsome.
Compared with the horse-dog that was popular in later generations and famous for its jumping ability, it is more flexible, free and freehand.
It all happened in a flash of lightning.
When the jackals on the hillside were restrained by Xiao Jin, the jackals in the grass on the other side of the stream had just reacted and hurriedly ran out, one after another, with their thick tails raised. , there are eight of them, plus the one on the mountain, that makes nine.
They made a strange "clucking" sound like a rooster's crow, which was more alarming than the whistle they made before.
With the temperament of a jackal, he will not be so anxious when he has a numerical advantage.
Chen Ling was quite surprised and shouted to Xiao Jin: "Xiao Jin, let that jackal live first and teach it a lesson. We will come back to collect interest in autumn."
And As for Hei Wa, he was already used to being upstaged by Xiao Jin. At this time, he just stood in front of Chen Ling, watching the pack of jackals that were outflanking him, and at the same time let out a long howl like a wolf.
The more the black baby is so screaming, the more panicked these dumpling dogs, and the panic sounds like chickens.
I originally wanted to attack Chen Ling and his two dogs.
But just as they crossed the stream and were about to pounce on them, the jackals suddenly turned back halfway, abandoned their companions on the hillside, and ran away.
These jackals didn’t get far.
A wolf howl suddenly sounded in Chen Ling's ears. The sound was extremely clear and loud, as if it was very close at hand.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw large gray wolves appearing on the hillside next door, approaching quickly.
“It turns out that the wolf is coming. No wonder the jackal is so panicked.”
Chen Ling smiled. The jackal is so bully and afraid of the strong. He knows that he only has nine members and the wolf pack has more than twenty. If the number is not advantageous, they will simply give up if they cannot win with more.
But soon, Chen Ling stopped smiling again.
Now there are not only wolves in the mountains, but also a pack of jackals.
This won’t work.
The threat to the village is a bit big.
We have to find a way to drive them back to the deep mountains and forests.
"Come on, let's stop for a moment and let them disappear." Chen Ling looked around, patted his thigh, and had to give up for the time being.
Those jackals are slender and not as strong as ordinary native dogs, but they are very powerful and very fast. They shuttle through the forest like red phantoms and quickly disappear.
He can also cross five or six meter wide mountain streams, walk on the edge of cliffs, and even use the terrain to jump to the top of trees...
Even with a dog, he can't catch up.
The remaining jackal bitten by Xiao Jin was also very slippery. He stood up with a limp, trying to escape while Chen Ling was not paying attention.
Being held down by Xiao Jin in time.
"According to the rules in the mountains, I originally wanted to let you go, but if I weren't brave as a skilled artist, someone else would have left his life here if he passed by..."
"So, then go to the cave and work as a coolie for me, so that you don't go back with injuries and be eaten by the same kind."
"So you still have to thank me."
Chen Ling waved his hand and took the struggling jackal into the cave.
A living jackal suddenly disappeared, causing the wolves that came from the mountain next door to freeze on the spot, staring blankly at Chen Ling.
"You haven't recognized each other since we haven't seen each other for a few days? Come here, I'll take you to play."
Chen Ling thought they were familiar with each other, so he waved to them enthusiastically.
……
In this way, I led the two dogs and the wolves to roam happily in the mountains for half a day. After the sun set, I slowly walked down the mountain and went home.
Early the next morning, Chen Ling got up and prepared to go to the brigade to tell the villagers that there were jackals in the mountains, so that the villagers should not go deeper into the mountains and forests if they had nothing to do recently.
In fact, it is now the busy farming season, and few people have the free time to wander around in the mountains.
However, this reminder still needs to be reminded.
By the way, we also need to find a few people from the village to help pick apricots.
It's time to pick apricots today.
Yesterday Sun Yanhong also said that he would send a car over today.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in the village, before he said anything, more than one person knew that his family was going to pick apricots today.
They all said that they would go over to help after dinner and told him not to worry too much.
Many of these people made money by taking fish fry from his family, or were introduced to them by others who bought souvenirs.
If someone wanted to help because of this love, Chen Ling would not refuse.
When he went to the brigade, Wang Wenchao from Ermao Donkey also stopped him and told him that Li Hongqi and others who were recovering from injuries in the village had recovered from their injuries, and they were planning to find people to go into the mountains in the next two days.
He thought about it and felt that these people gave them a lot of money, so he still wanted to go with them this time.
I will help Chen Ling pick apricots today, and I will follow them into the mountains tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
When Chen Ling heard what he said, his face became serious, he pulled him aside and said: "Xiao Chao, I advise you not to go this time if you can. There are not only wolves in the mountains, but also jackals. As for dogs, jackals are much more ferocious than wolves. This is the peak season for wild animals to give birth to babies. Once they are in a hurry, you guys can’t stop them even with guns.”
