Starting from blacksmithing, riding and chopping Europe

Chapter 30 Bear Hunting!

Snow covered forest.

The sled team came to a slow stop.

Feng Daofu jumped out of the car, and brought the silver-haired girl with a puffy face to the trail on the fresh white snow that creaked.

"Holy One, it's the footprints of a bear."

The footprints are very clear, very similar to those of humans, except there is an extra pair.

The cool black and white hounds were sniffing around, and the old Sammy hunter in the front row was analyzing the traces and reporting the situation.

"The bear is at least one and a half people tall and weighs two and a half people."

Because of the broken chapter, Brunhilde was still a little angry.

But when it came to business, she knelt down beside the footprints with a straight face and carefully identified the clues: "It's very heavy. It's probably because it was prepared for the winter and it stored fat."

"It just snowed two or three days ago, and the traces may have been left at that time."

Feng Daofu let out a sigh of relief, and translated for her: about 2.4 meters in length and about 140kg in weight.

Looking at the highlight mark of a natural hunter, thinking of the losses I have suffered before, I have to work as a hunter part-time.

He is very studious: "Why is this?"

Brunhilde gave him popular science regardless of previous suspicions.

A very simple natural principle.

Temperatures will warm up during the day and the snow will soften.

At this time, leave footprints on it, and when the temperature drops at night and the snow condenses again, this is equivalent to making an inversion of the footprints.

According to the quality of snow, the definition can be divided into standard definition and 4k.

The best impressions of the snow show vividly even the smallest wrinkles - in this case, footprints.

"Traces can last forever, for a long, long time, even through the winter, until the spring melts away," Brunhilde said.

The old hunter said with a smile: "The Valkyrie is right. Just after snowfall and just after rain are the best times to hunt, and the traces left are very clear."

"At other times, it is easy to chase and lose, because there are other animals living in this area, and many animals may pass here on a road, and there will be a lot of interference factors."

"However, the bear's footprints are easy to follow. Not only are the footprints deep, but they are also bigger than wild boar's eggs, and"

"Wang!"

The hound shouted.

Followed the hound to more than ten meters away.

"Wang Wang!"

The black and white hound dug here and there, the snowflakes splashed, and after a while, a large pile of bear dung was dug out.

"It's shit!"

Brunhilde was astonished as if he had discovered gold, and pulled out his dagger and pulled the bear dung without disgust at all: "Let me see, this is pulled from eating pine nuts, and there are still a lot of undigested particles. It feels similar to peeling a pine nut by hand."

"There is still a half of worms next to it. This bear must have dug a hole not far away. Bears like to dig in the ground to find some seeds and larvae to eat."

"Teacher, there may be a problem with my judgment just now. This bear is not yet fully prepared for the winter and is still in the stage of storing food."

"Or there are some factors that make it necessary to eat more"

The silver-haired girl was contemplating, and under Feng Daofu's shocked eyes, she dipped the tip of the dagger in bear dung, and sniffed it close to her nose.

Then he frowned: "The smell has dissipated a lot, and I can't smell it anymore."

"I guess it's a female bear with cubs. If it's fresh bear dung, you can try to see if you can smell it. Teacher, what's your expression?"

Feng Daofu looked away: "There is no expression."

Brunhilde puffed up his face: "If you want to become a top hunter, you can't dislike shit. This is the best clue to track down!"

"Really fresh ass shit can be felt."

"If it's a pile of hot bear feces, you can not only judge the state of the bear, but also judge how long it has been away based on the residual temperature. This information is very important!"

The silver-haired girl became more and more enthusiastic as she talked.

There are more and more question marks on Feng Daofu's face.

Until Brunhilde put his waist on his face and looked proud: "I have a cabinet dedicated to storing the excrement of various animals, and bears occupy the entire cabinet."

"Some eat pine nuts, some eat grass, and some eat deer."

She raised her chin like a little girl showing off her treasure to her parents: "There is a piece of bear excrement with two deer hooves inside, and it is shaped like a crown. This piece is super cool! It is the best souvenir in my collection. shit!"

Good guy!
Feng Daofu stepped back tactically, and called out in his heart, good guy!
I used to only know that my female students can eat and are born with supernatural powers, but I didn't expect to have such a unique hobby.

The charm of talking about shit over and over again.

too professional!

Professional people are a bit daunting.

"Teacher, do you dislike me?"

Brunhild finally sensed his reaction.

Her eyes trembled slightly: "You, like everyone else, think that I am a country girl who likes to play with shit?"

Mr. Feng's expression straightened up instantly and he opened his mouth: "I just want to remind you that the hat on your head is crooked."

Righted the beautiful otter hat on the silver-haired girl's head.

He looked at the girl's purple eyes, and exhaled, "I envy you, Brunhilde."

Brünnhilde was stunned for a moment: "Envy...me?"

Feng Daofu: "I envy you for living a free and easy life and being unwavering in what you believe to be your passion. You are as charismatic as the heroine in the story!"

"You let me know what a real Miss Hunter is!"

"You gave me a lot of inspiration. I immediately thought of the 10-word story behind Ms. Hunter. You are my best heroine!"

Feng Daofu boasted that his miraculous skills were fully fired, and finally made the silver-haired girl stop talking about her collection.

Fingers tangled in the hair around her ears, Brünnhilde was a little shy: "Teacher is always so exaggerated, teacher, how can you write these 10 words?"

Feng Daofu: "It's getting late, so let's follow this clue and see if we can catch this female bear with cubs before dark."

Ignoring the silver-haired girl's bulging bun face, Feng Daofu ordered the hunting team to move.

Some people are looking for a place to camp, some people are free to move around, and the rest of a small team is tracking lightly.

The footprints were clear, but there were no traces of the cubs.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether Brunhilde's judgment is correct.

Feng Daofu used to assume the worst: "If it is a female bear with cubs, it is the most dangerous and the best prey."

Brunhilde added: "It's also the tastiest."

Feng Daofu opened his mouth to ask, but he figured out the reason when the words came out of his mouth.

Mostly because the meat of female animals has no testosterone effect.

Specifically, he has no experience and is not sure, anyway, female elk is indeed delicious.

Get on the sled and go fast.

On the way, Feng Daofu humbly asked the female students with unique hobbies for advice, and gained a lot of hunting experience from Brunhilde.

Such as tracking, this is the daily life of the hunter, and it also determines the level of the hunter's ability.

Because of the wind direction, wolves sometimes get lost when they follow the wolves, and the hounds cannot follow the trail directly.

In analogy, it's a lot like a detective solving a case.

Capture the words of various passers-by, constantly collect clues, and then put these complex puzzle pieces together.

"Tracking is hard and tedious, but it makes the prey more palatable," Brunhilde said.

The old hunter nodded in agreement.

Is it difficult to track?

Feng Daofu looked at the traces that were constantly highlighted along the way.

To be able to get even professional hunters to say this shows how they view tracking.

But now, because of the bonus of the natural hunter, it feels like it's on the hook. Feng Daofu really realized the value of the trait - the natural hunter - no need to touch shit!
Even though he was already a magic stick, he didn’t hide it and directly pointed the way: “This way.”

"there."

"left."

With one open, the tracking efficiency has been greatly improved.

When the sun reached noon, I finally found a fresh load of goods.

"We can't go any further."

Brunhilde observed for a moment, frowned and said, "Change to another place, first figure out the terrain."

After a while, the terrain became clear.

"Here is a hillside with a stream at the bottom and a jungle on this side."

Feng Daofu drew the topographic map, and then drew a bear's head on the left hillside: "The position of the bear is here."

The old hunter smacked his lips: "Our position is very bad."

"Now that the temperatures are rising, the wind is going to carry the human scent to the bear's side no matter how it goes."

Air drops as it cools and rises as it warms.

At the coldest time in the morning, the cold air will rush all the way down the mountain.

The sun comes up, the temperature will change, it will warm up by a few degrees, and then the cold air will start to go up the mountain again.

Bears are in a position where the advantage is too great.

Once the wind carries the scent away, it is equivalent to making it punch Ape erectus in the face.

The female bear, who was irritated even before she got close, roared and entered the stage of tearing up her mistress from a peaceful moment.

"It's not impossible, you can wait for it to eat."

Brünnhilde frowned and made some suggestions.

Several professional hunters are also thinking of ways.

Looking at the streams on the topographic map, Feng Daofu recalled the knowledge of geography in high school, and suddenly had an idea: "We can use the wind."

The silver-haired girl raised her eyes in confusion: "Using the wind? Deliberately alarming the bear and then hunting it head-on?"

"With the power of the little boy, it is possible, but the risk is a bit high. It is very likely that hounds and hunters will be injured."

"It's not like this."

Fondolf interrupted her and drew on the terrain map: "You see, the creek is located at a low point, and the frozen cold water is enough to cool the air, forming a natural low temperature area."

"Because the stream cools the air, and the cold air descends, the downdraft here acts as a wall."

He brushed the hair around Brunhild's ear.

The engineering dog, who had fully entered the ocean of knowledge, completely ignored the silver-haired girl's stunned look.

After judging the extent of the blowing of the hair, Feng Daofu said confidently: "The wind is not strong now, and the city wall formed by the downdraft is enough to resist the main wind direction and forcefully stop the wind!"

"Whether it's the wind blowing from one end to the other, or the wind in all directions, the natural low temperature zone formed by the frozen stream water is enough to ensure that the smell on the body will not disturb the female bear!"

"You led the brown bear here, and I am lying in ambush by the stream, when it is defenseless."

Feng Daofu hit the ground with a fist, and the snowflakes splashed everywhere: "One shot from the ballista is fatal!"

Seems to work?

The hunters looked at each other and judged from experience that it was very feasible.

Might take a bit longer than a frontal assault, but can hunt without taking damage!

If they had a choice, they would definitely choose harmless hunting.

Brunhilde nodded in support: "You can try it!"

Both the saint and the Valkyrie have decided, and the hunters obey.

Before taking action, the silver-haired girl grabbed Feng Daofu: "Teacher, wait a minute, I'll put on eyeliner for you."

Feng Daofu: "Huh?"

Brunhilde took out the small black bottle and said seriously: "This will prevent the Sun Goddess from playing tricks."

Feng Daofu thought for a while, but did not refuse her kindness.

The silver-haired girl was so close that she could smell the nice smell of shit?

Hao Fa, a huntress, it is impossible to associate her body smell with Hao Smell.

Feng Daofu tried his best to restrain his expression.

After Brunhilde drew his eyeliner on him, he pulled out the dagger and glanced at it with the reflex on the blade, feeling a bit like a Viking.

At this moment, he also wanted to understand the principle.

It is similar to the purpose of the ancient Egyptians who painted black eyeliner around the eyes to prevent direct sunlight.

People with deep eye sockets have reflections under the eyes when the sun shines from above.

If you are suddenly dazzled by the sun while hunting or fighting, it will seriously affect your life safety.

Black can absorb light, reduce interference from reflections, make the field of vision clearer, and prevent snow blindness.

Feng Daofu thought that he could still get the blessing of the immortal mode.

"I like black very much."

Brunhilde helped him straighten his clothes, and said softly, "It would be great if I could have black hair like you, teacher."

Feng Daofu restrained the urge to blink: "Why? Most of the north is snowy, isn't silver hair better for camouflage?"

Brunhilde said: "They are Sami people? I don't know how the teacher recruited them. They are all very powerful hunters, but teacher, guess why they wear bright orange-red clothes when hunting?"

Feng Daofu thought for a while: "Remind your companion?"

The silver-haired girl nodded and said: "I have tested, and many animals can't tell the difference between colors. It is almost the same for them to wear white or orange-red. Wearing orange-red in this way can prevent their companions from accidentally injuring themselves, which is more important than white camouflage."

Feng Daofu smiled and said: "But silver hair looks better."

"One white covers all ugliness, and one D covers everything. In short, the Great Winter Hunt is not only about hunting, but also about those Norwegian defeated soldiers. At this time, silver hair is your advantage."

He comforted Brünnhilde.

Unexpectedly, the silver-haired girl blinked and asked curiously: "What does one D mean?"

"It means they are ready, so we should hurry up and get in position."

Feng Daofu took a step.

Brünnhilde puffed up her face and followed behind him: "Teacher, don't change the subject!"

Vondorff patted the little boy: "Brünnhilde, have you ever wondered why I can take out these guys?"

The silver-haired girl shook her head: "Because of my collection, I don't have many friends, so teacher, don't say anything."

Solid-minded, but not stupid.

Von Dolf joked: "Actually, this is a farm tool."

Brünnhilde: "?"

"Clean up the beasts that endanger the farm. Isn't this a kind of agricultural tool?"

Feng Daofu originally wanted to say a few homophonic jokes, but there are no homophonic jokes in Norse, so he had to give up: "Is there anything else I should pay attention to? In case of failure, is there any record?"

Brünnhilde: "First of all, you can't act like a lamb to be slaughtered. You have to raise your hands and shout at it. You can't just turn around and run away. If you turn around and run with your back exposed, it may intensify the animal's predatory behavior. It has a feeding instinct, so it will feel that the meat in its mouth has escaped, and it has to catch the person back."

Feng Daofu understood and acted like an equally strong man.

I will give you brother Xiong some face, and you will also give me some face. Everyone is not offending He Shuijie, isn't it the fruit of face!

Speaking of facing that wolf licking back then, the decision-making was really bad.

There is no way, although the physical configuration is enough, the mental configuration is holding back.

Now that I have experienced a lot, the software and hardware are slowly matching.

"Also, the choice of attack must be cautious. A real hunter will not attack forcefully, but will wait for the best opportunity to attack."

Brünnhilde said: "For example, when hunting a bear, the best position is from the side. You can choose to seriously injure the shoulder, which can affect the bear's ability to attack and move, and can also penetrate fatal vital parts such as the heart and lungs behind the shoulder."

"The fur and muscles of a bear are very thick. If you want a fatal blow, you need a powerful bow. The choice of weapon is also very important."

"Although the wrong attack position can also hunt successfully, the tracking process will become very long, and it is easy to have accidents when breaking into other predators' territory along the way."

The silver-haired girl continued: "The traces left by the snow are clear, and can also cover your voice. Compared with stepping on the leaves, you can sneak to a place closer to the animal, but operating in the snow will consume more energy. Physical fitness, if you chase after a long time, you will be in danger."

An old professor at Tongliao University also complained to Feng Daofu about death chasing.

The most primitive way of hunting, relying on endurance and heat dissipation to kill prey, is certainly an example of human endurance, but 99% of hunters will not do this.

For hunters, this chase is too risky.

If you play a game and chase after you, you will lose it. In reality, unless the terrain is advantageous, it will only be more difficult to track and find traces over long distances, and there will be huge energy consumption, which may cause death due to overheating / hypothermia and dehydration.

Taking a step back, even if a person's life is not in danger, precious physical energy is wasted, making subsequent hunting more difficult and dangerous.

Possible conflicts caused by breaking into the territory of other predators, and getting lost due to ignorance of terrain conditions. Unless you are starving to death, death pursuit is definitely not the preferred hunting method.

"And the meat of the prey will taste very bad after chasing it for a long time! Very, very bad!"

The foodie girl has a serious tone.

Feng Daofu said in his heart that he has been exercising at a high intensity, and his muscles are full of lactic acid, so the taste must be bad.

"This will also cause greater pain to the prey, so that the prey can be freed quickly to get the blessing of the hunting god."

Already arriving at the stream, Brünnhilde was looking for an ambush location: "This is a good place, you can aim at the side."

"When they harass the bear's physical strength, it will definitely want to eat. When the time comes to attack, it will react slowly and have a high success rate."

Feng Daofu began to set up the ballista: "Because when eating, blood is supplied to the stomach for digestion, which will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, make you sleepy, and distract your attention."

"Blood supply to the brain?"

The silver-haired girl blinked, looking like I was curious.

"You like hunting, so you must have dissected a lot of animal corpses. The so-called blood supply is."

Feng Daofu waited while teaching.

This went on for a while, until
"throat!"

The roar echoed in the mountains.

Birds flew up in the forest, and ravens croaked.

In an instant, Feng Daofu's scalp felt numb, as if he had experienced an electric shock.

This oppressive force has far surpassed that of Gray Wolf before we met.
Vondolf felt that his adrenaline had begun to rise, as if he had passively entered a slow world of death.

He 'slowly' saw Brunhilde's blue-purple eyes grow bigger, and excitement appeared on his small face.

excited?

"here we go."

Brünnhilde held the crossbow in a relaxed posture.

Vondorf breathed out and waited patiently.

It didn't take long before he saw the hounds fighting with the brown bear.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"throat!"

Each hunter will bring several hounds to form a huge group of hounds in a reinforced platoon.

But even with a large number, the hounds cannot kill brown bears.

It just formed a huge circular encirclement, harassing them in turn, creating opportunities for hunters.

"Shut up!"

"what!"

The Sami hunter was running like flying, making strange noises, creating the illusion that there were enemies in all directions.

Some suddenly roared: "Ulla!"

Constantly harass the brown bear, making it in motion and unable to rest.

Hounds need to rest for a long time when they are tired. Hunters can continue to climb when they are tired by eating dried fish and drinking water. Drinking water while running is the endurance advantage of Apes erectus.

This has been harassing for a long time, when the brown bear is getting more and more tired and more and more fierce.

The Sami hunter suddenly retreated with the hounds.

"Ow?"

The brown bear's doudou eyes blinked in confusion, and he was on guard for a long time, puzzled.

After confirming that the annoying Ape erectus and the lackeys had really left, the brown bear panted for a while, looked at the stream next to it, licked its mouth and prepared to break open the ice to eat.

Just as it was eating the fish, there was a sudden sound of a subtle trigger, and the thick crossbow suddenly pierced the air!

Whoosh!
The hot bloody arrows flew and dyed the white snow on the ground red.

　It's a bit watery. The 6k words are not divided into chapters. I will release them all at once.

　　Homophone jokes:

　　The little boy is the treasure of the factory produced by the Aio Farm Tool Factory. The arrowhead is made of mithril, and it is difficult to remove it if it is hit, so the silver arrow cannot be moved.

　　The bow uses Kobelco as the bow body, and the bow cannot be opened except by those who are destined to do so, so it is said that wealth cannot lead.

　　If you want to buy this kind of high-end agricultural tools, you must be a vip6 user of this agricultural tool factory to be eligible to purchase, so v5 cannot be driven.
