Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Yue Feng considered for a few seconds: "Okay, let's do as Xiao Tao suggests! Let's pull off a series of schemes!"

Xiao Tao was quite excited to hear that his older brother had approved of his idea.

"Hehehe, my brain is good enough now, right, Brother Feng! I used to be unable to get a word in edgewise about these kinds of things!"

"Yes, if this succeeds, I'll give you a big credit!" Yue Feng smiled at Xiao Tao and nodded repeatedly.

After the group reached a preliminary agreement on the follow-up arrangements and had breakfast, they got to work with great enthusiasm.

The location of the campsite tents was carefully chosen and will certainly not be changed easily.

What everyone needs to do is to properly clear away the vegetation around the camp that obstructs the view.

The original plan was to clean everything up, leaving only a small amount of miscellaneous wood of suitable size.

However, during the implementation process, Yue Feng found that it was actually enough to only tidy up the shrubs and low-lying vines; the relatively straight tree trunks did not have much impact on the line of sight.

While the group worked clearing bushes and debris, they also brainstormed ways to improve the site.

The progress is very fast.

During this work, Yue Feng once again used the hunting trap-setting and perspective-taking techniques taught by his master Zhao Dashan to put himself in the tiger cub's mind.

In broad daylight, Yue Feng could be seen circling the camp's perimeter for a hundred or two meters, sticking out his big buttocks and constantly changing positions to observe and ponder the camp.

Remove all the coverings; the lynx will be frightened and cautious when it comes.

After several deliberations, Yue Feng deliberately left some small terrain features that didn't severely obstruct the view, but could clearly reassure the tiger cubs.

Throughout the day, the brothers did not go out hunting or searching; all their attention was focused on tidying up the area.

As darkness fell, Yue Feng and his hunting team prepared dinner early.

After feeding the two healthy dogs and the two wounded soldiers, Yue Feng tied Canglong to the designated 'bait' position.

This location is at least ten meters further out than the previous tent entrance.

To make his actions seem more legitimate, Yue Feng even arranged for the dried wild boar meat to be moved to the spot next to Canglong.

It's as if this adjustment was made so that his dog could watch the hunting team harvest their jerky.

Having settled everything, everyone turned off the lights early, and all the observation posts were ready with their guns set up, waiting for the tiger cub to arrive.

Nothing happened around the camp during the first half of the night. Azure Dragon lay on the snow covered with dry grass, resting listlessly.

Around 2 a.m., everyone in the camp started yawning.

Xiao Tao covered his mouth with his hand and let out a long yawn, then rubbed his cheeks: "Brother, it's already past two o'clock. Will that tiger cub not come tonight?"

Yue Feng was also a little tired, but he could still keep going.

"I can't say for sure. How about you give the gun to Xiaowen, and you can take a nap when you're sleepy?"

This time, we only brought three guns into the mountains; Xiaowen, one of the four members of the team, didn't have a gun.

Upon hearing Yue Feng's words, Xiao Tao instantly woke up from his sleepiness.

"Hehe, I can hold on a little longer!"

After saying this, Xiao Tao took out a water bottle from behind him and gulped down a mouthful of water.

A fire was lit in the tent at night, keeping the temperature around ten degrees Celsius. The water in the canteen was about the same temperature. A sip of water instantly cooled me from my mouth to my heart, making me feel much more refreshed.

Seeing this, Yue Feng reached out to Xiao Tao: "Give me a sip from the kettle too!"

Xiao Tao groped around and handed over the water bottle. Yue Feng took a sip of snow water, then poured some into his palm and wiped his face with it.

Now, he felt much more energetic.

"Xiaowu, do you want a kettle?" Yue Feng asked in a low voice.

Just as Xiaowu was about to turn his head, his gaze suddenly fell on the edge of the woods in the distance, where two bright little lanterns lit up.

"Brother, that tiger cub is here, about 150 meters to the right of my observation post number three, at two o'clock!" Xiaowu said in a low voice without moving.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped showing off.

One observation post can't hold two guns, Yue Feng reminded, "Keep observing, wait for it to get closer! If you're confident, fire directly! Remember to be careful of our dogs, don't hurt Canglong!"

"Hmm!" Xiaowu responded and continued to observe.

The three-legged tiger cub had actually crept over from the middle of the night to the outskirts of the camp.

However, this guy was very cautious and discovered the footprints left by Yue Feng and his group when they cleared obstacles during the day outside the camp.

Fearing being hunted, the tiger cubs were extremely cautious as they approached the camp.

For the first half of the night, we mostly watched from a distance on the periphery.

They waited until the middle of the night before tentatively approaching.

At this point, the elaborate scheme that Yue Feng and Xiao Tao had devised actually proved to be quite effective.

The tiger cubs discovered the spot where the Azure Dragon was tied up alone, and they also smelled the large amount of dried meat buried in the snow.

Now, his cautious mindset relaxed somewhat, and as he mustered his courage to approach, he was spotted by Hsiao-wu, who had been observing him with a gun at the ready.

No matter how intelligent animals are, they are far inferior to humans!

Xiao Wu stared intently at the lynx through the observation port. The three-legged creature slowly shifted from a standing position to a crouching one, inching closer to the Azure Dragon.

Felines are adept at hiding and ambush, and at this moment, the three-legged cat solidly demonstrated its basic ambush skills.

Looking again at the Azure Dragon lying in the haystack for the night, its ears suddenly twitched, and then it subconsciously sniffed a few times.

It slowly opened its eyes, but as its owner had instructed before nightfall, it neither opened its mouth to warn of danger nor got up to look around, as if it had not noticed anything unusual at all.

The lynx approached slowly, listening carefully to any suspicious sounds around it, clearly intending to flee at the slightest disturbance.

The injury to its hind legs affected its agility to some extent.

The hind paw, damaged by the bullet, has now closed up and stopped bleeding. It will just take a few days for it to scab over and heal completely.

The tiger cub lingered in the snow for at least an hour before finally getting within about twenty meters of the Azure Dragon.

This is a shooting lane that was specially left open during the day. There is no obstruction when firing from Hsiao-wu's observation post.

"Brother, we've gotten about thirty meters away! We're crawling forward on our hands and knees, in a very low position, and I'm not quite sure what we're doing!" Xiaowu said, his voice slightly unsure.

Yue Feng comforted him, "Don't be too nervous. With fixed-point shooting at around 30 meters, you can still hit wherever you want! Adjust your mindset, and don't panic! As long as you don't hit the Azure Dragon, it's okay even if you run away!"

"Then I'll hit it!"

"beat!"

Xiaowu took a deep breath, then, following his instincts, aimed at the tiger cubs crawling on the ground.

boom!
In the middle of the night, a gunshot suddenly rang out. The tiger cub, which had been crawling on the ground just a moment before, suddenly had a spray of blood appear on its hindquarters.

A bullet flew less than forty centimeters above the ground, passed through the tiger cub's body, and landed in the snow behind it.

The tiger cub, now wounded, no longer cared about hiding or getting close. It suddenly leaped high, turned around, and ran away.

However, after running less than three meters, one of his hind legs became completely powerless.

The bullet pierced through the upper side of the hip bone of the prone hind leg, leaving a hole. Although not fatal, the healthy hind leg was injured, leaving only the newly scabbed wound on the other leg to barely provide leverage, greatly limiting its movement speed.

"Damn! It missed! It didn't hit his head, it just punctured his hip!"

Xiaowu muttered something, then thought about firing again, but no longer dared to.

The fleeing lynx unintentionally came to the area behind where the Azure Dragon was lying down. The angle was extremely small, and if the shot was slightly off-target, there was a possibility of injuring the dog.

Since firing at night was already risky for Hsiao-wu, who wasn't confident in his marksmanship, he certainly wouldn't dare take the risk now.

"If you hit it, that's good enough, chase!" Yue Feng crouched down and stood up from the observation post, gripping his gun as he crawled out of the tent.

"Azure Dragon, chase!!"

A shout came from a distance of more than ten meters, and Canglong, who had been lying obediently, immediately stood up, shook his neck to remove the rope, and charged towards the injured tiger cub.

To be honest, the animals on this mountain are really tough. One of their hind legs had a claw injury, and the other hind leg was shot in the hip and lost most of its function.

Even under these circumstances, the tiger cub hadn't given up on escaping.

It went from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive, its two front paws digging into the ground as it struggled to move further away.

With its whiskers and tail intact, the azure dragon had no trouble chasing tiger cubs. In just a few leaps, the azure dragon caught up with the lynx in its hand.

Exhale!
The lynx, outwardly strong but inwardly weak, hissed threateningly. Knowing how powerful this creature was, the Azure Dragon didn't rush to attack but instead circled around to assess the situation.

Once the hounds got close, the wounded lynx was left fighting like a cornered beast.

After briefly observing and confirming that its prey could not move quickly, the Azure Dragon circled halfway around to feign an attack, then suddenly charged forward and delivered a lightning-fast bite.

With a whoosh, it snatched the tiger cub's bleeding hind leg and hip, and the cub twisted its body and swung its front paws to attack.

Despite taking a swipe of its claw, the Azure Dragon firmly gripped its opponent's injured hind leg, then lowered its center of gravity and violently shook its head.

With just a few shakes, the tiger cub's center of gravity was disrupted, and it completely lost its ability to resist.

The Azure Dragon swung its head violently once more, flinging the tiger cub against a nearby tree trunk.

Before it could react, the Azure Dragon pounced again and seized the tiger cub by the neck.

Without any hesitation, it took a bite, and the dragon bit through the injured lynx's neck bone with a crisp sound.

Boom!

Woof woof woof woof woof!
Having succeeded, the azure dragon opened its mouth and spat out its dying prey, letting out an angry growl and barking.

The meaning is quite simple: you hurt my brother, so I'll bite you to death to avenge my two younger brothers!
Then look at the lynx; it fell to the ground and couldn't lift its head. After kicking its hind legs a few times, it stopped breathing.

It sounds complicated, but the whole process takes no more than half a minute.

By the time Yue Feng chased after them with his gun in hand, the battle was already over.

"Good dog, you killed this tiger cub?"

Yue Feng swept his flashlight around and, seeing that his prey was silent and the Azure Dragon barked beside him, Yue Feng relaxed.

A few seconds later, Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wu, the three brothers, also came over.

"Killed to death?"

"Yeah, they got bitten to death by the Azure Dragon! Damn, this lynx didn't even look that big, yet this thing managed to hurt two of our dogs!"

While responding to his companion's question, Yue Feng opened his bayonet and gently turned the prey on the ground over.

After confirming that the lynx was dead, Yue Feng bent down, grabbed the tiger cub by the neck, and shook it.

Shot in the hindquarters, with most of its left hind paw missing and its cervical vertebrae bitten off, this tiger cub is dead.

"Hehe, Azure Dragon has gotten tougher again, daring to fight the tiger cub one-on-one!"

Xiao Tao glanced at his prey, then patted the Azure Dragon's head.

Upon touching it, Xiao Tao felt a wet, sticky sensation on his fingertips and instinctively shone a flashlight on them.

My hands are covered in blood.

"Oh no, is Azure Dragon injured too? There's blood on his head!"

Upon hearing Xiao Tao's words, Yue Feng immediately used a flashlight to examine Canglong's head.

Under the flashlight, the Azure Dragon's condition was quickly made clear.

My mouth and the area near my eyes close to my forehead were scratched, leaving a three- or four-centimeter-long wound.

In addition, the Azure Dragon had a bloody scratch on its rear end. This was caused when the Azure Dragon first feigned an attack to snatch its hind leg, and the lynx twisted its body and turned around to scratch it.

For a medium to large feline to fight a canine, it's like a dimensional reduction attack. Even though the tiger cub was badly injured, the azure dragon still got hurt.

Fortunately, neither wound was serious, and they did not penetrate the skin, so they could be treated simply and did not even require stitches.

"Alright, let's go back to the tent! While it's still warm, skin this tiger cub! Xiaowen, treat Canglong's wounds!" Yue Feng patted Gouzi's head, then grabbed the prey by the neck and headed towards the tent.

Now everyone felt completely at ease.

Although this lynx is not as big as the snowy lynx we hunted two years ago, its pelt is relatively intact.

There were no obvious injuries to the head, face, torso, or forelimbs, except for a small penetrating bullet hole on the side of the hip bone of the hind leg.

When peeling the skin, slightly adjusting the position of the knife can avoid most of the imperfections.

If the acquisition criteria weren't too strict, this piece of leather could be rated as excellent or better.

Back in the tent, Yue Feng lit the oil lamp and the stove was burning brightly. He then took out his skinning knife and got to work.

Having personally handled so many prey, skinning had long since become as easy as breathing for Yue Feng as skinning meat.

He skillfully slid the skinning knife in his hand, cutting the skin from the underlying layers little by little, and then peeling the body away bit by bit.

In no time at all, a fresh lynx pelt was peeled off.

Yue Feng lifted the leather by the two front legs, shook it off, glanced at the bullet hole and saw that it didn't seem to have much impact, and felt quite pleased.

After wasting several days, we finally managed to deal with this tiger cub!

The hunting team's profits from entering the mountains will increase by at least four figures! (End of Chapter)
