Although the man turned around and ran away as soon as he was discovered, he couldn't run very fast in the woods.
In contrast, Chu Sili's figure quickly shuttled between the trees, and caught up with the man in a few seconds, and directly crushed him to the ground.
We also hurriedly chased after him, and saw a short and thin man pressing his knees on the ground by Chu Sili, constantly struggling, and still calling something vaguely.
I walked over and saw it, and was stunned.
I actually knew this person on the ground.
No, it is more appropriate than meeting you.
This man looks about thirties, he is short, pointed face, and has a stingy eyebrow.
"Zhang Lazi? Why are you here?"
The man who was suppressed by Chu Sili in front of him was a villager of Shigao Village, and he was either someone else, or the firecrackers when we caught weasels yesterday, which alarmed the idle man in the village.
When my uncle heard about it, he was so angry that he rushed to his house with a stick and wanted to beat him up. We just held him back. It was only then that I saw it and never even said anything.
Zhang Lazi quickly smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this the little gentleman from Brother Dalin's family? I am Zhang Lazi, from the same village. Let this guy let go, and I'm almost crushed to death. Oh, it hurts, so be gentle."
I frowned, and then let Chu Sili let go of him.
Zhang Lazi climbed up from the ground, patted the soil on her body, and laughed: "Oh, look, they are all acquaintances, why did they do it as soon as they come up? The stones and stubble on the mountain are broken, what should I do if they break it?"
"Who is an acquaintance with you?" Yu Wu said bluntly: "What are you doing when you are sneaking and peeping at us?"
"Who has peeped?" Zhang Lazi stumbled on her neck: "I'm just passing by."
"Passing by?" Tan Jin smiled and said, "You are passing by in this old forest in the deep mountains?"
Zhang Lazi's dough was embarrassed, but soon became tough again. He raised his chin and snorted: "I don't have firewood at home, can I go up the mountain to make some firewood?"
I smiled slightly: "Catch firewood? Come out from the entrance of Shigao Village and turn left and there is no firewood on Woyang Mountain. Have you run dozens of miles to Zize Cave to collect firewood?"
"This is my own business. What does it have to do with you where I love to pick firewood?" Zhang Lazi still looked confident.
"Since you are passing by with firewood, why do you run away when you see us?" Lao Huo asked.
Zhang Lazi beat me again, but soon raised her neck and said, "Who said I ran away when I saw you? I just saw you when I was just picking firewood. When this guy saw me, he rushed towards me. It seemed like he wanted to eat people. If you were to do it, you wouldn't run away?"
"Hey, I'm still talking to us. I think you are an old birthday boy who is hanging himself and thinks he's long-lasting." Yu Wu couldn't see such a person the most, and he twisted his fists and was about to come over.
I also think there must be something wrong with this spicy picture, so I didn't stop Yu Wu.
"You - what are you doing? Don't come over, what do you want to do." Zhang Lazi was so scared that she retreated repeatedly, and then shouted: "Kill someone! Kill someone! Help!"
His screams were like killing a pig, and I frowned in waves.
"Okay, stop barking. There are jackals and wolves in this mountain. What should I do if you call me like this and attract jackals?" I frowned and said.
"Aowuwuwuwu-"
As if responding to my words, as soon as I finished speaking, a creepy whine sounded from the jungle in the distance.
"Damn!" Lao Huo's face changed: "It's the voice of a jackal."
I also heard it. It was indeed the sound of jackals. When I was a child, I saw a group of jackals hunting elephants when I was watching the animal world. The picture still makes me remember it fresh and I am deeply impressed by this strange cry.
"Don't you call me, I'll tell you not to yell around, but you still yell. If the jackal really comes, I'll feed you to the jackal." Yu Wu glared at Zhang Lazi with a fierce look on his face.
Although the sound was creepy, there was only one, and it seemed that there was no sign of getting close, so I breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there seemed to be only one. Maybe I found that we were too many people so we didn't get close, but we had to leave quickly. Jackals usually live in groups, and maybe more people will come in a while-"
This time, before I could finish speaking, a second whimpering sound rang out in the forest, followed by the third, fourth, and more. For a moment, the whole forest was filled with the sound of jackals.
Hearing so many screams, the others' faces turned green, and Lao Huo pulled the corners of his mouth: "Brother Ma, I have wanted to say something before. You should say less sometimes."
Tan Jin pulled out the dagger and rolled his eyes: "What are you doing so tactfully? This guy is just a crow's mouth."
Not long after, the jackal's barking stopped abruptly, and then there were waves of rustling sounds, which came from several sides and quickly approached.
Lao Huo raised the hunting rifle in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, I guess I'll have nearly ten of them from the sound. I guess the whole nest of jackals on the entire hill have arrived."
I also clenched my sword tightly and stared at the surroundings with caution.
At this time, a rapid sound of footsteps sounded from behind. When I turned around, it was Zhang Lazi who took the opportunity to turn around and run aside.
But at this time no one cares about him. Before I could turn around, I felt a strong wind blowing in my face.
I didn't even look at it, and waved the knife forward based on my feelings, but it slashed in vain.
It was only then that I had time to see clearly before me that a yellow shadow rushed into the grass beside me.
"Brother Ma, be careful, don't turn around and expose your neck to them. Everyone is back to back, fucking him, we're made dumplings." Old Huo shouted.
I nodded, and the five of them leaned back to back together, looking around.
There were constant rustling sounds in the grass around, and yellow shadows could be seen flashing over from time to time. The group of jackals were consciously surrounding them. From the moment they just now, they knew that we had weapons, so they did not attack immediately. Instead, they were shuttled around, waiting for our flaws while not allowing us to find the right position.
For things like jackals, the combat effectiveness and threat of single wolves are not as good as those of wild wolves. Even many large dogs can chase them all over the ground when they fight alone. But once they are in groups, the threat level is even greater than that of wolves.
In terms of cunning when hunting, they were even more serious than foxes and weasels. As soon as I looked back, the jackal immediately jumped out to attack, which showed their keenness.
They are a group of cunning and cruel hunters. What they want to say is that when facing a group of jackals and dogs on land, even large beasts such as lions and tigers have to retreat.
Before we went up the mountain, we knew there were jackals on the mountain, but we didn't expect there were so many. I originally thought that there would be enough of three or four.
"What should we do? Now we are just hunting rifle and surrounded by these things. It's a bit bad." Lao Huo said with a frown.
That's true. Even if you have good skills, you can fight with a group of jackals with knives. There is only one hunting rifle. Although it is quite powerful, it is still the old-fashioned gunpowder gun that needs to be reloaded after a shot. It can't handle so many.
I looked around and thought for a while and said, "We can't be wrapped around them like this. We have to find a place to break out first."
Lao Huo nodded: "Isn't that Zize Cave nearby? Let's go and take a look. It should be easier to guard the cave and not be surrounded."
I also agreed with Lao Huo’s words, recalling the location of Zize Cave that the uncle pointed out to us before going up the mountain, and then looked around and found that it was the direction where Zhang Lazi escaped just now.
So I pointed in that direction and shouted, "Let's run there! Zize Cave should be there."
Lao Huo responded: "Okay, look at me."
As he said that, he suddenly took a step forward, flew past me, and raised his hunting rifle.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, countless birds in the forest were startled. With a scream, I saw a jackal being knocked out directly.
Lao Huo's shooting skills are indeed amazing. I can't even see the jackals and dogs rushing around, so they can hit them clearly.
This shot obviously shocked the jackals around. With the rustling sound, the jackals were running away quickly, and this was our opportunity.
"run!"
Lao Huo fired a shot, immediately shouted, and took the lead in running towards Zize Cave.
We all followed immediately.
The gunshots are still very powerful to the beasts. The jackals didn't dare to catch up for a while. It was not until we ran a distance that I heard a whimpering sound from behind and began to get closer.
"Hurry up! It should be right in front."
I followed Lao Huo's back and ran wildly. Not long after, I saw a long crack on a stone wall in front of me. There was a hole inside the crack. The crack was thin at the top and wide at the bottom, and the hole was not small.
"That should be Zize Cave, go in quickly."
Lao Huo was the first to rush into the hole, and we then entered one after another. Fortunately, the entrance of the hole was large enough, and the space inside seemed to be quite small.
After running into the hole, I didn't care about looking at the hole. I turned around and looked out, only to hear a whimper outside, and the jackals were already chasing.
Yu Wu and Chu Sili blocked the entrance of the cave one by one, holding the guy in their hands, ready to face the impact of the jackals.
But these beasts were indeed very smart and did not rush in directly, but instead went back and forth outside, just not coming in.
As soon as Lao Huo entered the hole, he stopped and started filling the steel ball gunpowder. He moved very quickly, but the loading of this old-fashioned steel ball hunting rifle was really troublesome. Even the veteran took nearly ten seconds to fill it in.
After filling in the gunpowder, Lao Huo did not hesitate and walked to the entrance of the cave to raise a gun and fired it.
With a loud bang, another scream from a jackal came, obviously hitting the ball.
The jackals started to scream again, as if they were scared by the shot and retreated into the forest.
Seeing that they didn't dare to approach for a moment, we breathed a sigh of relief. I sat on the ground and gasped.
