Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 418 Tiger and House Cat

When everyone saw this scene, they were somewhat confused, because Wang An clearly asked Sun Nian to kill the tiger, but Sun Nian killed the jackal instead.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li thought that Sun Nian’s shooting skills were not very good.

Wu Dong and others thought that Sun Nian's shooting skills had deteriorated.

No one considered that Sun Nian just made a mistake.

When Wang An saw this scene through the scope, although he had expected this situation, he still felt like laughing.

However, what Wang An wanted to laugh at was not that Sun Nian was clearly aiming at a tiger, but ended up killing a jackal.

Although this is indeed very funny, what Wang An was laughing at was actually the tiger.

Because of the distance, everyone could only see the general movements of the fight between the tiger and the jackal, but the details were actually invisible.

But Wang An could see it clearly through the sight.

The tiger was obviously frightened when he saw the jackal lying in front of him for no reason before the tiger attacked it.

So Wang An could clearly see through the sight the tiger's face full of disbelief, its eyes wide open with fear, and its body full of exploded tiger hair.

Wang An also saw that the tiger obviously took two steps back.

The tiger's behavior reminded Wang An of a passage from "The Donkey of Guizhou":

The tiger saw the donkey and thought it was a huge creature. It thought it was a god and hid in the woods to watch it. It came out a little closer and was frightened. No one knew what was happening. One day, the donkey brayed and the tiger was terrified. It fled far away, thinking that the donkey was going to eat it. It was very scared.
The tiger at this moment is so similar to the tiger in "The Donkey of Guizhou".

I never expected that a tiger, such a powerful and lightning-fast beast, looks no different from a domestic cat when it is scared.

Fortunately, Wang An still held back his laughter, mainly because Wang An was afraid that laughing would distract him and he would not be able to shoot the tiger.

So, while the tiger was still in a daze, Wang An decisively pulled the trigger.

I have to say that the recoil of the Type 79 sniper rifle is quite strong. Compared with the recoil of the Type 81 and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, it is several levels lower.

Fortunately, Wang An's shot hit the tiger's head.

Although Wang An aimed at the center of the tiger's eyebrows, the bullet hit the tiger's eye socket.

No matter what, the accuracy and lethality of the Type 79 sniper rifle are still very impressive.

Because Wang An saw through the scope that the tiger didn't even have time to react before being killed by the bullet.

Immediately afterwards, Wang An pulled the trigger again and shot at the jackals surrounding the tiger.

With a pack of jackals nearby, even if the tiger died, no one dared to get close.

The Type 79 sniper rifle is semi-automatic like the Type 56 and a half, which means that you don't need to pull the bolt, you can fire continuously by just pulling the trigger.

However, this thing is not as easy to control as the 56 and a half. Especially when you pull the trigger one shot after another, the recoil is really unbearable.

When everyone saw the tiger being shot dead by Wang An, they became excited and started shooting freely.

Of course, the targets that everyone was shooting at were also the jackals around the tiger, but the level of accuracy was just so-so.

Anyway, a lot of bullets flew out, but only three or four jackals died.

Finally, as bullets rained down on the jackals, the jackals in the pack fell one by one. The surviving jackals, unable to find a target to attack, began to flee in all directions.

After the jackals left, everyone put down their guns and heard Wang Shuai laugh:
"Hahaha, it feels great. I haven't fired a gun like this in a long time."

Wu Dong said excitedly:
"Xiao An, good job. I didn't expect you to be such a good marksman. You killed that big claw with just one shot."

Wang An just smiled and said nothing, mainly because no matter what he said at this moment, it would be seen as showing off.

You have to know that Sun Nian's shot did not cause any harm to the tiger.

If Wang An showed off, it might make Sun Nian even more sad.

The reason why it made Sun Nian even more sad was that Sun Nian did not look very happy at this moment. Everyone was laughing, but she was the only one with a blank expression on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Wang Li held the 81 bar and said to Mu Xueli with great interest

"Brother Mu, you said this gun is better than the Type 56. The firing rate is too fast. It takes half the time to fire ten bullets."

Mu Xueli was also a little fond of the 81-bar, and rolled her eyes at Wang Li, saying:
"What's the use of being good? You have to give it back when you go back."

Wang Li touched the gun and nodded:
"That's right. It must be really fun to hunt with this thing."

Mu Xueli rolled her eyes at Wang Li and said, "Just enjoy it, but don't expect anything good."

Wang An returned the sniper rifle to Zhang Shuya, and everyone chatted for a while. When they felt that the tiger and the group of jackals were completely finished, they started to walk towards the tiger.

In order to prevent the tigers and jackals from faking their death, when they were about 100 meters away from the tigers and jackals, Wang An once again asked everyone to put their guns to their faces, aiming at the tigers and the jackals' heads, and started shooting them one by one.

After reloading their guns, everyone continued to walk towards the tiger.

The tiger was lying on the ground, and it didn't even have time to close its eyes or mouth before Wang An shot it dead.

As everyone looked at the tiger on the ground, their expressions of shock were beyond words.

The tiger in front of me must weigh at least 500 kilograms!
If the tail is included, the entire length of the tiger is about three meters and four or five meters long.

There are four large fangs exposed, the longest upper fang is more than twelve or thirteen centimeters long, and looks like a small sickle.

What kind of animal in this mountain can be a match for such a huge creature?
I only heard Wu Dong say leisurely:
"This is the first time I've seen a real tiger in my life. No wonder those old guys want its fur. This fur is really cool!"

Wang Shuai said beside him:
“But the only drawback is that the tiger has many bite wounds from jackals, so the skin is completely ruined in terms of appearance. But in terms of actual use, it is not a big problem and has no impact.

Wu Dong suddenly said with a smile:

"No matter what, we won't lose anything. Judging from its size, we know it's a male tiger. Its penis alone is worth a lot of money."

Wang An suddenly interrupted:
"Hahaha indeed, we're going to make a lot of money this time, hahaha"

As he spoke, Wang An arranged for everyone to gather all the jackal corpses together, and then stab them one by one to let the blood flow.

After counting, a total of 23 jackals were found dead. Judging from the gun holes, the number of jackals shot by the crowd was not as many as those killed by tigers.

After draining the blood from all the corpses, including the tiger, Wang An said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:
"You two lead them to skin these things first, I'll go get the sled over here."
