Chapter 366: Hunting in the Mountains

Zhang Xingwang didn’t sleep much that night. The snoring of the two men woke up Wangcai and Fugui. It seemed that the old man didn’t want to go back to live there for a reason. If he didn’t sleep well every day, he would lose a few years of his life...

The next morning, the three of them set out into the mountains. According to the old man, since they were already here, they might as well give it a try. If they were lucky enough, they might come across one.

Both parties tacitly agreed not to invite the other party to join them. After all, one must be more careful in the mountains. Zhang Xingwang was the last to leave, intending to take a deeper look at the place he had visited yesterday.

The weather is nice today, with a not-too-strong wind. The clouds floating along the wind block the scorching sun, bringing a refreshing coolness.

The two brothers were not in high spirits, and obediently explored the way ahead. It was probably because the strong wind affected their sense of smell and hearing. The leaves in the forest were rustling, and occasionally there were various sounds of strong wind blowing through the tree trunks.

Thanks to the company of the two brothers, Zhang Xingwang would not have dared to travel alone. Zhang Xingwang, who was extremely vigilant, walked for a whole morning without encountering any prey, and he could not tell whether the sounds coming from all directions were made by any animals.

The strong wind gradually died down at noon. The deeper we went into the mountains, the less space there was for us to move around. It was midsummer now, and the dense primeval forest was full of various plants. There were traces of human and animal activities everywhere on the road, but the traces of humans were gradually becoming less and less...

When preparing to make repairs, they found a puddle. Looking at the clear mountain spring, Zhang Xingwang decided to find a relatively safe place to build a shelter, return there to spend the night, and explore a little further tomorrow.

Places with water sources in the wild are very dangerous, so Zhang Xingwang found a place about forty or fifty meters away from the mountain spring to build the shelter. There were several pine trees side by side in this place, which could be used as support for the shelter and also provide good protection.

It took more than an hour to build a herringbone shelter against the pine tree. The pine trees were placed side by side as the back wall, and the middle was filled with thick branches. It was covered with a layer of coarse cloth, and it looked quite realistic.

After setting up the shelter, Zhang Xingwang continued to set off. The wind had basically stopped at this time, and the two brothers were also exploring the road enthusiastically. Not long after they went, the two brothers looked at the hillside in front of them vigilantly. Zhang Xingwang calmed the brothers down and slowly moved forward.

There were more than a dozen gazelles on the hillside, and it seemed that they were less than 50 meters away from Zhang Xingwang. They were upwind of Zhang Xingwang, and the two brothers must have smelled the scent along the breeze.

Because they were staying at a higher place than Zhang Xingwang, the shooting angle was a bit poor. This time he was considered lucky. Zhang Xingwang calmed down and thought about it. He decided to go around to a higher place and take action to try to hit as many as possible.

He took the two brothers to start climbing the mountain from the other side, and slowly went around the downwind to the edge of the woods behind the yellow sheep. The two brothers watched Zhang Xingwang crouching and moving slower and slower, and they also crawled on the ground in the same way.

The two dogs looked puzzled, and seemed to be a little disgusted with Zhang Xingwang for being too cowardly. After quickly crawling a few steps, they turned their heads and their eyes expressed their meaning very well, meaning that Zhang Xingwang could hurry up...

There was no time for the two brothers. Zhang Xingwang continued to approach slowly. The group of gazelles had moved forward about thirty meters. They were eating grass and looking around vigilantly. At their speed, it would be too late to climb trees or find a commanding height.

Zhang Xingwang could only find a relatively high place, slowly poked his head out, silently calculated the position of the herd of yellow sheep, stood up, held his breath and concentrated, and then launched a wave of firepower...

With a thought, the remaining seventy or eighty bullets in the space flew out instantly. Leaves and bark flew everywhere where the yellow sheep was, accompanied by a wailing sound.

About seven or eight gazelles screamed and fell to the ground in an instant, and the rest began to scream and flee in all directions. The two brothers were also smart and ran out quickly, chasing the two gazelles that were panicking and running towards Zhang Xingwang.

There were only bricks and stones accelerated by a slingshot in Zhang Xingwang's space at this moment, so he was not in a hurry to chase after him.

I trotted over to take a look at the results of the battle. Two of them had been hit by at least four or five bullets, and were sleeping peacefully now. The remaining five were still struggling in pain, but it was obvious that they could not stand up, and death was only a matter of time.

Zhang Xingwang used a knife to free them while shouting the brothers' names. Soon the brothers came back. Wangcai was panting and looked frustrated. Fugui had obvious blood on his mouth. He wagged his tail and barked at Zhang Xingwang, motioning him to follow.

He trotted after it and found a wounded yellow sheep on the hillside about fifty meters away. There were bullet holes on the sheep's belly and obvious bite marks on its legs. After casually praising it for its wealth, Zhang Xingwang went forward and killed it.

After returning to the original place, seeing that there were still two obvious traces of the injured yellow sheep escaping, Zhang Xingwang did not chase it immediately. Instead, he took out the spear he had exchanged from the steward and began to refill the bullets into the space.

After all, he had created a large pool of blood in the deep mountains and forests. The smell of blood would probably attract large beasts. How could he not quickly replenish his bullets? He couldn't just fight Sang Biao with bricks...

For a moment, the sound of gunfire echoed in the deep mountains and old forests. After spending more than ten minutes to replenish fifty bullets, Zhang Xingwang called his two brothers and prepared to chase the wounded yellow sheep along the blood trail to see if he could add some achievements...

The two brothers were obviously very reluctant at this time. They sniffed at the place where the yellow sheep disappeared for a long time, and even dug the soil with their claws. Looking at the empty ground and the bloodstains left behind, the dog's face was full of confusion. Then he tilted his head and looked at Zhang Xingwang, as if waiting for his explanation.

After seeing that Zhang Xingwang had already set off, the two brothers followed him, looking back every step of the way. It seemed that the escaping yellow sheep was seriously injured, as obvious bloodstains could be seen after a while.

The two brothers were now spirited again, and they ran forward happily along the trail of blood, shouting. After all, the two brothers had eight legs together, and Zhang Xingwang could not catch up with them, so he simply ran slowly in the direction where the brothers' voices came from.

After running less than 300 meters, he heard the sound of the two brothers no longer moving. He ran over to take a look and saw that a yellow sheep was already dead, lying quietly under a tree and not moving. The two brothers were surrounding their prey and calling out as if they were feeling relieved, and they were looking at Zhang Xingwang as if they were facing a great enemy.

Afterwards, the two brothers watched Zhang Xingwang take the yellow sheep away, and then simply lay down where the yellow sheep was, motionless, panting and looking at Zhang Xingwang with aggrieved eyes, with their tails pulled down lifelessly. They probably thought Zhang Xingwang was not polite and actually broke the rules and even took the dog's share...
