The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 148 147. Wolf howling in the middle of the night

2:58 am.

This pack of wolves came in a hurry, just when they were sleeping most soundly.

Although spring has begun, it is still quite cold at night, and you can see white smoke when talking.

Lin Feng quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the tent. David was already outside, looking around with a shotgun.

The ground was quite bright under the moonlight, and the bonfire was still burning, so the sight was good.

In addition to David, two dogs were also there.

"How is the situation?" Lin Feng asked.

"They didn't dare to come close and just stayed on the other side of the stream."

"How long did it take you to wake up?"

"In less than a minute, I heard a wolf howling. I came over to you immediately to discuss countermeasures."

Lin Feng looked over, and sure enough, there were several pairs of small green eyes moving over there, like ghosts, a bit scary.

Since ancient times, forest animals have had an innate fear of campfires, because they are a symbol of human beings. Even if there are fresh pieces of meat next to the fire, they do not dare to approach it easily.

Just standing in a stalemate across the distance, waiting for the opportunity.

Wolves are very patient animals and can stay for days or even longer looking for prey.

Sleeping in the wild was not comfortable, and my whole body ached when I woke up. Even though there was grass underneath, it still felt cold.

Lin Feng stretched out his arm, picked up the AR-15, and observed the situation through the scope on the gun barrel.

It can be vaguely seen that they are not large, and they feel like a group of coyotes. If they are true, there is nothing to worry about, and they are basically not a threat to livestock.

There was also a reaction from the cows. The cows guarding the outermost area were very alert and kept looking around. The cows inside seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"I feel like they're coyotes, about a dozen or so."

"Yes, they are not big but there are quite a few of them, maybe more than ten. There are also some on the other side of the stream."

Lin Feng moved the scope to the left. Sure enough, there was still a group of coyotes staying there. They were not in a hurry to join the large army, they were just wandering around.

Lin Feng asked his uncle to burn the fire more vigorously. During the day, they also built several fires around the camp. If necessary, they could use the gasoline they brought to light them at any time.

Those coyotes did not dare to get too close, indicating that they were afraid of their heads, otherwise they would have come up long ago when faced with so many cows.

Not leaving also shows that these green-eyed guys feel that there is a chance and waiting patiently can be rewarded.

Lin Feng planned to take the initiative and drive these people away so that he could go back to sleep.

So I installed a silencer on the rifle, which is an accessory purchased when buying the gun. Although the accuracy is reduced, it can minimize the fright of the cattle and avoid chaos.

The compound crossbow can play the same role, but it takes too much sight, and I don't want to lose arrows in vain.

The two of them walked a hundred meters in the direction of the wolves and reached the outermost part of the herd.

Niu Weiwei's eyes widened, and Lin Feng stroked its back, telling it to relax and not be too nervous.

Then he squatted with his rifle and prepared to shoot.

Unable to see clearly the wolf's body, he planned to rely on his green eyes to judge.

Puff puff!

Several bullets were fired, and some of the coyotes in the group were sensitive to the sound and began to take a few steps.

It seemed that he missed, so Lin Feng pulled the trigger one after another.

Now some of the little eyes fell down, and the wolves began to panic and ran more.

David observed the situation with a telescope and said that he had indeed hit one this time!

I'll go there tomorrow morning to verify it. Now as long as the wolves are dispersed, the goal will be achieved.

It is said that holding the AR15 in my hand is very confident, and I even feel confident when the pack of wolves pounces on me.

Watching "Green Eyes" gradually move away from the herd, and they waded to the other side of the stream, Lin Feng planned to withdraw his troops and go back to sleep.

"BOSS, I'll keep an eye on you for a while."

David took the initiative to stay, and Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder, handed the gun over, and yawned before going back to the tent to sleep. The two dogs also cheered up and scattered around the cattle to protect them.

With them around, Lin Feng felt at ease.

David lit a bonfire outside and cleared the surrounding grass to avoid causing a fire.

It was already bright when Lin Feng woke up again, and the night was peaceful.

The group of wolves did not dare to cross the stream again, and they probably dispersed after an hour. After all, it was okay to find some small animals around to fill their stomachs. There was no need to fight against humans just to stutter.

David was roasting potatoes outside, and they were quite delicious.

Lin Feng greeted him after coming out of the tent and asked about what happened after he fell asleep again last night.

"The wolf pups didn't have the guts to challenge our thermal weapons, and they dispersed soon after. After all, they are coyotes, not as brave as the North American gray wolves."

In fact, just treat them as larger foxes. The longer Lin Feng runs the ranch, the less afraid of coyotes he becomes.

He went to search the area where he had shot yesterday, and found two dead ones, both of which were shot in the heart.

Maybe I really have a talent for shooting, and I can still get it right even at night.

In order not to attract wild animals such as bears or mountain lions, Lin Feng and David put the two dead animals into bags and threw them two kilometers away on horseback.

Come back and start preparing breakfast, grilled steak with buttered bread slices, and drink a cup of coffee made by David.

This time he used a new pot. Although it was smaller, at least it wouldn't cause any odor.

In the past, Lin Feng liked to eat steak well-done, but now he prefers it to be slightly bloodshot and chewy, like a wild beast tearing apart its prey. He feels that he is becoming more and more perverted.

Charlie had called a long time ago to let us know that everything was fine at the ranch.

When I go out, I am afraid that something will happen at home. The feeling of not being able to go back is the most worrying thing.

In the morning, there were a few coyotes drinking water on the other side of the stream. From time to time, they raised their heads and glanced in the direction of the cattle, as if they were scouts.

The feeling of having meat right next to your mouth but not being able to eat it is very annoying, let alone a hungry wolf.

Lin Feng fired several shots over there to drive them away, but the guys still listened.

At noon, the weathervane mark on Lin Feng's chest suddenly vibrated slightly before taking a nap.

This is the reaction of the "distinguished guests".

The big golden eagle descended from the sky, flapping its wings and hovering at low altitude, frightening the young black cow so much that it hurriedly hid behind the adult cow.

I didn't expect it to come, Lin Feng was quite surprised!

David smiled and said that this was feeding meat to feelings, coming uninvited.

There are pastoral falcons in Montana to guard the pastures, so David was not surprised.

Lin Feng tried to silently give the golden eagle a command to drive away the coyotes on the other side of the stream.

The golden eagle soared into the sky again, flew over the stream at high altitude, then swooped down towards a certain coyote!

The wolf cub was frightened and ran out screaming.

The golden eagle was just bluffing and had no intention of actually attacking.

The goal is achieved and he flies back to the sky.

Lin Feng stood up and tried to stretch out his arms.

The golden eagle understood it, circled twice and landed directly on it, standing firmly on his left arm.

Lin Feng was so happy that he reached out and touched two handfuls. The feathers were very hard, getting harder as they went outwards. The outermost bunch was almost like a stainless steel plate and had no feel at all.

Only the down on the neck looks soft.

David was sore, crossed his arms and said, "I also want to have an eagle of my own. To be honest, I'm very envious."

Finally, the golden eagle went to the top of the big rock behind the tent, folded its wings, and stood there majestically combing its feathers with a wild look in its eyes.
