I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

"What? We need to make a fire to cook now? Inspector Su, this is a big mountain. It's autumn and it's extremely easy to cause wildfires. If you want to cook and make a fire, you must find an open area."

Of course, Su Hao knew that it was the dry season of autumn. If he accidentally caused a wildfire, his duties would basically be over, and he might even be sentenced in the end.

If fire cannot be used, what will be used to restrain this thousand-year-old mulberry tree?

Su Hao came to Fa Mao's side, took out the butcher's knife sheath from the backpack he was carrying, and hung it on himself.

"From now on, you will be the one to carry this large travel bag."

Fa Mao's face turned dark and he was about to complain.

Su Hao followed up and said, "I know the reason why Huang Huotu and Huang Huotu disappeared. We may encounter danger next. I am a combatant and must conserve my physical strength."

Fa Mao's expression changed slightly, and he complained: "If I had known there were other unknown dangers in this mountain, I would have brought a gun in."

Su Hao said: "What if the pistol doesn't work either?"

Fa Mao asked in surprise: "What kind of danger is it that the pistol doesn't work? Otherwise, the two of us should leave now, and then we can call for support and then come in together."

Su Hao said: "Continue searching and then talk."

He had a hunch that Huang Huotu and Liu Sen were nearby, but he didn't know whether they were alive or dead at the moment.

The two of them repaired themselves and went down the hillside. Due to Su Hao's early warning, the two of them walked very slowly. After a while, the rope under their feet had reached the end.

At this point, the rope is gone.

Su Hao knelt down and looked at the front joint of the rope without saying a word.

Fa Mao also walked in and observed for a moment, and came to the conclusion, "They gave up this rope voluntarily."

So the question is, why did Huang, Huo and Tu give up the rope voluntarily instead of going back?

There is only one possibility, and that is that they did it as a last resort.

Su Hao stood on the spot and sniffed the surrounding smells with his nose. Unfortunately, the rope had been specially treated and exuded a pungent smell, which greatly blocked other subtle smells.

However, a special smell entered Su Hao's nostrils.

He searched nearby for a while and saw a small pile of dried feces the size of a palm, as well as a branch that had been broken by external force.

Chapter 322 Hidden Dangers

Su Hao came to the excrement and took a look. He could tell that it was left by a medium-sized carnivorous beast without even looking closely.

It's a bit similar to the feces of dogs in rural areas.

Moreover, the water in the feces was not completely lost, and the time should be about 2 days. Based on the time point when Huang Huotu and others disappeared from here, it can be inferred that this is the direct reason why the two did not go back.

Seeing that Su Hao had found the clue, Fa Mao behind him also got up from the ground, took out his mobile phone and took a photo, preparing to use image and text search to determine the identity of the owner of the feces. Unfortunately, there was no signal at all on his mobile phone.

He explained awkwardly: "When I was searching for clues about Tai Mo Shan on the computer, I didn't see any news about medium-sized beasts in the mountain."

"Furthermore, no one from Yuen Long Police Station has ever heard of any wild beasts hurting people in the mountains."

Su Hao said calmly: "The information you searched on your computer is probably from a few years or decades ago, and is seriously out of date."

"As for why I haven't heard anyone mention the news of large beasts appearing in the mountains, it's because Tai Mo Shan has been sealed off, and the memories of survivors who strayed into the mountains and managed to escape have been erased, even if they have seen them. , I can’t even remember it.”

Fa Mao asked again: "Why did the people at the Yuen Long branch say that there was no murder case in Tai Mo Shan?"

Su Hao sneered twice and said: "You are not an insider of the system. You don't know many things. The reason why these people are not marked as dead is because no specific information about their death has been found. There is a high probability that they will be classified as dead in the end." Missing."

Missing people and dead people have completely different priorities.

Once a murder case occurs, it must be investigated, but the ability is limited, what should we do?

Then indirectly or intentionally classify the case as missing, so that the Yuen Long Branch will have much less pressure and responsibility.

To take a step back, until there are no clues to confirm the death of the missing person, it is legally justified to classify him as missing.

Fa Mao slowly frowned, "Doesn't it mean that the lives of Huang Huotu and Liu Sen are in danger?"

"Our lives will also be in danger?"

Su Hao comforted: "It's hard to say. I can't be sure about the former situation. I can guarantee that our lives will not be in danger in the latter situation. At least a few wild beasts will not pose any danger to us."

Su Hao patted the butcher knife on his waist.

Why Su Hao is so sure that Huang Huotu and others will not be in danger is because Huang Huotu's body has been branded or specially marked by a half-immortal. Whenever Huang Huotu's life is in danger, the half-immortal will temporarily step in to save people.

Naturally, such a secret inside story cannot be told to Fa Mao.

Moreover, the area of ​​Tai Mo Shan is not very large. Even if there are carnivorous beasts, they are not likely to be too big to contain top predators such as tigers or leopards.

If there are wild dogs and wolves, Su Hao is confident that he can handle them if there are not many of them.

Now that we have clues, what to do next is critical.

Fa Mao looked at Su Hao, waiting for Su Hao to make up his mind.

When Su Hao was hesitating, he suddenly heard a sudden gunshot in the air. The gunshot was dull and penetrating. Su Hao immediately judged that this was the pistol worn by his department when dispatching police.

Su Hao glanced at Fa Mao and warned: "It's Huang Huotu and the others. Let's meet up with them first. Please be careful not to fall behind. If there is anything wrong, yell and remind me."

Su Hao felt a little more anxious now.

The sound of gunshots meant that Huang Huotu and others must be in danger at this moment.

There is also good news hidden in this, that is, the two of them are probably still alive.

Su Hao judged the direction of the gunfire and started chasing after him with a huge travel backpack on his back.

The direction of the gunfire came from the valley, which should be near the territory of the thousand-year-old mulberry tree.

The only thing Su Hao is worried about now is that the opponent Huang Huotu and Huang Huo Tu will face this time is this mulberry tree.

If this is the case, the situation is quite dangerous.

The two of them were going downhill at the moment, and since they were on the slope, everyone was carrying a load, so their speed was not as fast as going uphill.

When the two arrived near the bottom of the valley, the shouts and whines from the surrounding area could be clearly heard. The sound was heard to be from Liu Sen. Su Hao immediately shouted in front of him, "I am Su Hao, hold on, we will coming."

He didn't care whether Liu Sen heard the news or not, he neatly threw down the luggage on his back and ran to the other side as fast as flying. Since he could already hear the sound, the distance must be within a mile.

Fa Mao was dumbfounded and shouted from behind: "Inspector Su, I can't lift the thing now."

Su Hao turned around and said, "Just stay where you are and wait for me. If you encounter danger, remember to lean behind the tree and wait for my return."

As soon as the voice fell, the person had disappeared into the dense forest.

Fa Mao came to the package with a vigilant look on his face. He found a large tree with a slightly thick trunk nearby and leaned against it. He used a bloated luggage bag over one meter high to block the other side of himself. He held up his shovel and looked around to observe the surroundings.

Judging from the information revealed by Su Hao just now, the danger Huang Huotu and others encountered this time is probably a medium-sized beast. As long as the number is not large and they are not charged in a swarm, it will not be a problem to survive for a few hours with a hair's strength.

What he didn't know was that there was another, more terrifying existence waiting for them near the bottom of the surrounding valley.

Perhaps because he received the voice from Su Hao, the shouts over there became more urgent, but he didn't hear the second gunshot. After Su Hao ran out for tens of meters, his eyes instantly became empty.

It turns out that we have reached rock bottom.

The bottom of the valley was a rugged ravine, covered with cobblestones and rotting leaves, but no water.

There is also very little soil.

Based on experience, this place should be about two or three miles away from the thousand-year-old mulberry tree that Su Hao observed with his telescope.

As soon as Su Hao raised his head, he saw several yellow-furred beasts as big as native dogs blocking a cave.

There were about five or six of them.

One of the beasts was lying on the gravel outside the cave and was kicking and struggling. It was obviously shot.

The entrance to the cave was covered with vines, and it was not clear what was going on inside.

Su Hao held the butcher's knife in his hand and shouted again: "Liu Sen, is that you?"

An excited voice came from the cave, "Inspector Su, it's me, I'm inside."

"Is Huang Huotu okay?"

"Brother Huang is not in good condition. He is unconscious and still has a fever, but neither of us was injured."

While the two were talking, Su Hao's pace did not slow down.

He held the butcher's knife in his hand, and like a warrior leading a charge, he rushed towards several medium-sized predators. He had already recognized the identities of these beasts.

If I guess correctly, this thing should be called a jackal.

That is, the jackal among the wolves, tigers and leopards (there is a picture on the easter egg chapter below).

The mouth is pointed and long, the head is triangular, and a pair of ears stand upright. The size is about the same as a rural native dog, smaller than a wolf. They often hunt in groups, are ferocious and cunning.

Unexpectedly, there is a group of jackals living in Tai Mo Shan.

Even the local government doesn’t know.

Moreover, this was not the first time for these jackals to hunt humans. Even when their companions were injured and saw Su Hao rashly joining in, they remained calm and guarded the entrance of the cave, as if they had regarded them as prey.

At the same time, two jackals were separated and aimed at Su Hao.

Su Hao had already suppressed a circle of anger in his body and hadn't used his skills for a long time.

Humans are much taller than jackals in size. As long as they are not surrounded by a group of jackals, and as long as they are not knocked down by the opponent, the initiative is definitely on Su Hao's side.

He bowed and accelerated again. The two separated jackals stood side by side. They lowered their upper bodies and bared their teeth at Su Hao while letting out a low, threatening roar without even trying to avoid it.

Su Hao raised his knife and slashed directly at the head of one of the jackals.

Puff.

A pool of hot blood splashed towards Su Hao's face.

It turned out that the jackal's skull was relatively tough. This knife directly cut through the jackal's entire face. Finally, it was blocked by the skull and slid down to the jackal's neck, directly cutting the opponent's blood vessels.

The leading jackal fell to the ground before he could even scream.

The jackal next to him was stunned, and Su Hao even saw a hint of panic in his eyes.

The latter turned around and ran away without saying a word, taking the other two jackals guarding the door with him, leaving only a corpse at the scene and a half-dead jackal that was seriously injured and shot.

Su Hao came to the injured jackal, stepped on its head, bent down and stabbed the butcher's throat with the butcher's knife.

Then he slowly pulled it out and wiped the blood on the knife clean on the opponent's orange hair.

This time there was no blood spilled.

In the cave, Liu Sen witnessed Su Hao's heroic fighting prowess and walked out with a stunned look on his face, "Inspector Su, this, that jackal was hacked to death by you just like that?"

It’s no wonder that most human beings living in cities lack exercise, and their wild and bloody nature has been worn away by mortgages, car loans and trivial life. Once you encounter such wild predators in the wild, especially those in groups, you will When the Eater appears, the first thought that comes to mind is 'If you can't beat it, run away'.

As the saying goes, be timid before you fight.

You must know that these beasts are best at cutting meat with a slow knife, and are especially good at finding soft persimmons to pinch. They follow you wherever they can. Originally, they didn't regard you as prey at the first time, but now that they see you without any resistance, they subconsciously regard you as fat. fish.

When a person's physical and mental strength is exhausted, one can imagine what will happen next.

Su Hao sheathed the butcher's knife with a relaxed expression, "What's the matter? If you're not afraid of a one-on-one fight, I'll give you a butcher's knife and you can kill at least four or five jackals."

Liu Sen waved his hands in fear and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. When Brother Huang and I saw these six jackals appearing in front of us, our legs were so frightened that they became weak. We fired several shots in succession and missed all of them. Fortunately, we found this cave nearby, otherwise the two of us might not be able to hold on now."

Su Hao's face became more serious and he looked at Liu Sen, "How is the situation? You are not injured, are you?"

Liu Sen paused, stamped his feet and said, "No one is injured, but Brother Huang's condition is not very good. Why don't you come in and take a look."

Liu Sen led Su Hao into the cave.

The entrance to the cave is about as wide as the door and only two-thirds as high as the door. It is surrounded by vines.

The space inside is very cramped, only about seven or eight square meters in size, similar to an ordinary bathroom, and shaped like a drop of water.

Fortunately, the height is close to two or three meters.

The ground was covered with messy rocks, and even a few animal bones were exposed among them.

Huang Huotu was lying on his side on the cold ground, facing the wall, with his arms folded around his chest, his body trembling slightly, and a look of pain on his face.

Su Hao reached out and touched the other person's forehead, which was hot.

Liu Sen reached out his hand and asked Su Hao for a cigarette. He hadn't slept for an unknown amount of time. His face looked worse than yellow fire earth, and his unkempt beard was full of tiredness.

When he got the cigarette, he lit it directly and fell to the ground with a relaxed expression, as if he was surviving the disaster.

"Inspector Su, I thought we would never see you again. To tell you the truth, I haven't slept for two days and two nights. These jackals are very cunning and come to harass me every half hour, day and night. His expression was always tense.”

"Fortunately, we brought enough water and food with us when we entered the mountain, as well as two guns, otherwise we would have probably ended up here this time."
