The power of the pager was a bit beyond Yang Yi's imagination. After Baria blew for five or six minutes, he heard some rustling sounds coming from the depths of the forest.
Yang Yi turned his head and looked. A coyote with grayish-black fur and a body similar to a Husky appeared in his field of vision. Obviously, it was not a Husky. Its tail was fluffy and much thicker. Its mouth was sharp and looked somewhat similar to a fox's!
These details also benefited from Yang Yi's extraordinary eyesight. And he actually discovered it earlier than Baria. Baria was slightly slower to see the appearance of the coyote.
Baria quietly continued to blow the pager, raised his hand to call everyone, and pointed in the direction of the coyote.
Sure enough, the coyote did not act alone! There was more than one coyote. Behind its tail, a little further away, there was another coyote. Its erect ears exposed its position in the bushes.
Everyone held their breaths with rapt attention, not making the slightest sound.
Although the downwind and the distance advantage could make Yang Yi's scent not easy to be discovered by the coyotes, if they opened their mouths to speak, these dog-like coyotes with extremely developed hearing would definitely detect them. These guys were very cunning. If they found something wrong, they would usually run away.
Baria patted Doug and pointed to the first coyote for him. According to the previous agreement, Baria's sign language meant that Doug and his men would deal with the first coyote, and Baria would help them cover the field and finish the shot. Then, Baria patted Mo Henian and pointed to the one further away.
Mo Henian, Doug, and the others nodded. They raised the guns in their hands and aimed at the two coyotes. Old Ford also picked up a rifle.
How could Yang Yi fall behind? He squatted and took the hunting bow from his back. There was also an arrow in his hand that had been pulled out at some point. He gently put it on the bowstring, but he did not pull the bow yet. He was waiting for Baria's signal.
They had to shoot at the same time to prevent the other one from escaping!
However, at this time, Mo Henian, who had already taken aim, turned his head, glanced at Yang Yi, and pointed to the front.
The meaning of the old man was obvious. He wanted Yang Yi to deal with the coyote, and he would not shoot first.
Mo Henian still cared for his son-in-law quite a lot. Although he still scolded when he should, he was always thinking of Yang Yi. Yang Yi felt warm in his heart and nodded at him.
Ba Ya extended three fingers and began to count down.
"Three, two, one …" It was a silent language.
Yang Yi stood up abruptly as if an order had been given. The bowstring of his hunting bow was pulled back to its fullest in an instant. The bow was bent like a half-moon, and the bowstring was pulled taut. From the moment he released the bowstring, it took less than half a second.
"Clang!"
The sound of the arrow was covered by the gunshots of the cowboys, but the cold arrow quietly cut through the warm air. It crossed a long distance in one step and sank into the body of the target coyote.
Ba Ya held the gun and pressed his cheek against the body of the gun. He raised his eyelids and looked at the two coyotes.
He did not know if the two teams of Doug and Mo Henian could hit the target with so many shots. He needed to judge. If the coyote was not dead and wanted to escape, he would quickly finish it off.
However, the speed of the coyotes was not slow, especially when they went into the bushes and used the cover of the bushes to escape. Even an experienced hunter like Ba Ya could not guarantee that he could hit them.
If that happened, they would really escape!
Ba Ya watched closely, especially the coyote that Mo Henian was in charge of. He knew that Mo Henian wanted his son-in-law to "try his hand", but to use a bow? Ba Ya felt that the possibility of Yang Yi failing was higher!
But what surprised Ba Ya was that he saw the two coyotes react quickly when they heard the sound. However, it was too late. They suddenly jumped up and twitched as if they were hit by something. They could still struggle and run for two steps, but in the end, they could not support themselves and finally fell to the ground.
They were hit!
Ba Ya smiled. He put down the gun in his hand, pushed the safety bolt, and picked up the telescope hanging on his chest to check the condition of the two coyotes.
The first coyote fell to the ground. Ba Ya could not see the situation clearly, but the second coyote was interesting. There was an arrow in its body. Obviously, Mo Henian's son-in-law had shot it!
"Beautiful shot, my friend!" Ba Ya turned around in surprise and said to Yang Yi.
"What?" Doug came over and asked excitedly, "Yang shot the coyote?"
"Let's go take a look!" Barea wasn't sure if Yang Yi's arrow was the key to killing the coyote because it was too far away and he couldn't see the wound on the coyote. He smiled easily and led everyone to the place where the two coyotes died.
Of course, they could not take it lightly.
Ba Ya picked up a long branch on the road and sharpened it with a knife. He poked the two coyotes from a distance to ensure that they were dead. Only then did he ask everyone to come closer to check.
The first thing they saw was the coyote that Doug had killed. The coyote had a fatal wound on its body. Obviously, one of the three of them had shot it.
"Barnes shot it." Ba Ya pulled open the coyote's blood-stained fur, looked at the bullet that was shot, and made a judgment.
"Woo woo!" Barnes was a cowboy on Doug's farm. When he heard that it was his credit, he whistled and proudly raised the shotgun in his hand.
Then, Ba Ya picked up the fat coyote and dragged it to another coyote.
When everyone got closer, they found that the coyote that was shot only had one wound on its body. It was the place where the arrow had shot it!
"You shot very accurately!" Ba Ya turned his head in surprise and looked at Yang Yi. He pointed to the place where the arrow was inserted and said, "This is its lung. You killed it in one shot!"
Doug took the lead and applauded Yang Yi.
Yang Yi smiled calmly. However, he actually felt a little regretful in his heart. Yang Yi aimed at the coyote's head, and he also accurately judged its displacement distance.
Yang Yi was also very skilled and bold. He wanted to play some tricks. After all, "headshot" was the most unreliable hunting method. The probability of hitting the body was higher! But high risk had high returns. This way, he could also kill it in one shot and preserve its hair more completely.
Unfortunately, even though Yang Yi practiced for the whole day yesterday, he still could not use the foundation of his previous life!
That arrow was a little off target. The long arrow went straight for the coyote's neck. Strangely, perhaps due to the effect of the gunshot, the coyote's movements were a little faster. In the end, the long arrow hit its lung. It was an accident and it was killed in one shot.
But that was enough to amaze Doug and the others.
"Chinese soldiers are amazing!" Doug praised. "I finally understand why you don't want to use a gun!"
"Chinese soldiers? Special Forces? From the Marine Corps? "Bariya asked with interest.
"No, just an ordinary soldier." Yang Yi smiled. "It's just that I used to hunt, so I like to shoot arrows."
They did not pursue the matter. After Ba Ya asked everyone to take photos of the coyotes, he called for everyone to hang the two coyotes on a dead tree. He and the equally experienced Old Ford put on gloves, took out sharp knives, and deftly skinned the coyotes.
It seemed that they had indeed hunted a lot. Like a butcher dismembering an ox, they quickly pulled, pulled, and scraped. After a while, the two coyotes' skins were peeled off and treated with special medicine before putting them into their carry-on bags.
Ba Ya would take the two coyotes' skins back. After treating them, he would bring them back to Doug and Mo Henian as souvenirs.
The rest of the coyotes' bodies were thrown into the forest by Ba Ya for other animals. They looked down on the coyotes' meat.
"Let's clean it up and look for the next coyote's trail!" Ba Ya and Ford went to the stream in the forest to wash the blood. Yang Yi and the others naturally followed.
However, they did not expect that the coyotes would come to them without them looking for them!
"Shh!" Ba Ya and Yang Yi discovered it almost at the same time. Ba Ya asked everyone to stop talking and pointed to the hillside on the other side of the stream.
This time, everyone was more familiar with it. They hurriedly found some rocks to hide themselves, and only then did they look into the distance.
Yang Yi was the first to discover it, but he did not look carefully just now. Now that he observed carefully, he realized that the two coyotes on the other side of the stream seemed to be doing something! They were creeping in the bushes, their grayish-black figures appearing and disappearing.
"They are also hunting!" Ba Ya suppressed the excitement in his heart and answered Yang Yi's doubts in a very soft voice.
Hunting? What were they hunting?
Soon, the answer came out!
In Yang Yi's vision, a few white-tailed deer appeared. One of them was a big deer, and the other three were young deer. The young deer were very small, as if they had just been born not long ago. Their thin and long legs trembled as they walked. It made people tremble in fear, as if their legs were about to break …
They were nibbling on the young bushes' new buds. The big doe was still vigilant, looking up from time to time. The young deer, on the other hand, were not on guard. They spread their hind legs and lowered their heads. The rich and sweet buds attracted their attention.
They were unaware of the impending danger.
