The Origin of Arcane

The Andis giant bear was also in a difficult situation. The strong anti-shock force directly knocked it back to the ground. When it landed, its right palm was obviously a little unnatural. Right, its choice has not changed - attack.

This time it learned its lesson, and jumped directly into the nearby bushes, endured the thorns, and gave way to the boulder.

Ow!

The giant Andis bear who passed the boulder just now let out a shriek, and at some point there was a half-foot-long arrow tail on its right eye, bleeding profusely.

Andis the Bear was so distracted by the boulder trap that he ignored another element of deadly danger—the young hunter who set the chain of traps.

Sean didn't let go of this golden opportunity, or in other words, the series of traps he set up were just to create this opportunity, and he shot a deadly arrow silently.

This arrow is somewhat different from the arrows shot before. Not only is the weapon different, but the structure is also fundamentally different. The arrows shot before are all ordinary arrows.

The arrow inserted into the eye of Andis's giant bear is a composite arrow. The arrow shaft is made of multiple log strips glued together, and then covered with special arrowheads and arrow feathers.

This kind of arrow has a unique name among the Andes mountain people, blood flower arrow.

As the name suggests, once this kind of arrow enters the body of the prey, the special glue that glued the log strips will be soaked in blood, and the stickiness will become worse. The flower of flesh and blood on the body of the prey.

Even if the Andis giant bear, the biggest prey in the Andis crater, is hit by this kind of arrow, if it is not taken out as soon as possible, it will be bled to death within a quarter of an hour. Therefore, this kind of arrow is also called a bloodletting arrow.

Some people will call it a bear hunting arrow, which is only used to deal with dangerous large prey such as giant bears, giant tigers, mountain cattle, and wild boars.

Contrary to the terrifying power, the flaws of this kind of arrow are also very obvious. The complicated craftsmanship is just one of them. The glued craft and unstable arrow body limit the length and thickness, which in turn limits the shooting range.

Once the shooting range exceeds fifteen meters, the hit rate is pitifully low.

Even the most skilled marksman among the Andes mountain people is helpless.

If you want to use this kind of arrow to deal with prey, you must be close enough to the prey.

It's just hard to tell whether it's hunting or being hunted when it's close to a threatening prey like the giant Andis bear.

Giant bear hunter, among the Andes mountain people, is a very heroic title.

Ow! Roar!

This giant Andis bear was very unfortunate. After suffering the pain, he subconsciously fiddled with the exposed arrow tail, causing Xuehuajian to bloom immediately, forming a huge hole of flesh and blood.

The blood no longer gushes out, but sprays out. The severe pain and fear make it almost crazy, and it pounces left and right. Anything that stands in front of it is slapped away by it. I can't afford his one shot.

This crazy behavior is useless except to speed up blood loss.

After shooting the Bleeding Flower Arrow, Xiao En didn't care if he succeeded or not, and left as quickly as possible to fight hand-to-hand with the Andis giant bear. Even if a knight shot it himself, it would be death or death.

After a few minutes of madness, the Andis Giant Bear's fear overwhelmed his anger, and he once again made the choice it thought was the best—turned around and ran away.

If it was a few minutes ago, such a choice would undoubtedly be wise. Without the restraint of traps, Sean would never let these grumpy behemoths approach him twenty meters away.

But now, no matter what it does, it is futile. The tearing wound formed by the blood flower arrow, even the giant Andis bear with a strong physique, cannot heal itself. Death is his only destination, and it is only a matter of time.

Accompanied by a loud whistle, there was a burst of excited dog barking in the distance, and the young Andes mountain hunter Sean had already reconciled with his hunting dogs.

Bows, knives, and hunting dogs are the three traditional standard equipment of Andes mountain hunters. An Andes mountain hunter without a dog is like a knight without a horse, which is incomplete.

You can live without a bow or a knife, but you can't live without a hunting dog.

This is the first hunting experience that the old Andes mountain hunter taught his son or apprentice. To be precise, the survival experience, because the consequences of not bringing hunting dogs are not only related to the amount of prey harvested, but often his own life cannot be brought back. ——Hounds with keen senses are more likely to spot not only prey, but also predators, especially at night.

Experienced Andes mountaineers will not easily camp alone in the mountains without hounds.

Sean's hound group is composed of three Andis hounds, two long-haired hounds, and two wolfhounds. A hound group of this size is considered huge even among Andis mountain hunters. Not every dog ​​can be a hunting dog, plus the potential loss in the hunting process.

This means that in order to maintain such a large hound group, it is necessary to have more than twice the spare group (generally composed of two-thirds puppies and one-third adult dogs), even if it is free-range, The dog group will solve part of the food by itself, but fixed feeding is still indispensable. If this link of establishing relationship is missing, what is raised is not a hunting dog, but a wild dog.

This was the price Sean had to pay when he often liked to hunt alone. There must be more than two dogs of each type in the hound group to prevent one of them from being injured or killed.

If there are many people hunting, it will not be so troublesome. Each person can bring one or two to form a huge and fully functional hound group. Once the number of hound groups exceeds double digits, most of the animals in the mountains will Avoid automatically.

Such scenes are not common, and the efficiency of doing so is not high. It only occurs during the season when large predators are hunted and prey is flooded.

Sean didn't hunt alone this time. There were more than a dozen people following the pack of hounds, more than a dozen half-sized children. The oldest one looked similar to Sean, and the youngest one was about seven or eight years old.

They were running like flying one by one, obviously they were veterans. While running, they made all kinds of strange calls, and together with the hounds, they created the illusion that there were enemies in all directions for the injured Andis giant bear.

In front of the pack of hounds who are good at tracking, the injured Andis giant bear had no possibility of escaping at all, and fell into the siege of the hounds in an open field by the rushing stream three kilometers away from the boulder trap.

Normally, this mountain stream less than ten meters wide would not cause any trouble to Andis giant bear at all, but after losing nearly one-third of his body's blood volume and falling into extreme weakness, it became insurmountable obstacles.

He tried to cross the stream several times, but was blocked by the pack of hounds. The cold stream accelerated the loss of heat from his body, and each attempt would only make him weaker.

Wang! Wang! Wang!

The hounds formed a huge circular encirclement around the Andis giant bear, attacking in turn.

If you observe carefully, you will find that their attack is not a one-shot attack, but has a reasonable division of labor and hierarchy.

The six hounds were clearly divided into two small gangs, each consisting of an Andean hound, a setter, and a wolfhound.

Every attack was initiated by the Andis hound. If the Andis giant bear's attention was attracted by it, it would feign a shot, turn around and run away.

The hounds in this small group will take the opportunity to attack from the side or behind the giant Andis bear. If the giant Andis bear doesn't notice him, it will launch a substantial attack, using the way of virtual reality to perfection , giving people the illusion that the attack always comes from behind or beside the Andis giant bear.

The attacking methods of hounds are different from their relatives, wolves. Especially when dealing with large prey, hounds seldom rush to bite. They are more of a nibble or slap. In order to delay the escape speed of the prey.

The purpose of doing this is to consume the prey's physical strength to the greatest extent while waiting for the hunter. If the prey is injured, it will speed up its blood loss, so as to achieve the purpose of bringing down the prey.

The reason for this difference is that hounds have a deadly weapon that wolves do not have - hunters.

During the long hunting life together, the hounds have gradually changed their hunting habits.

But once they return to the wilderness, it won't take long for the hunting mode of the hound group to return to the wolf pack mode.

...

The Andis Hound is a comprehensive hunting dog. In addition to having an extraordinary sense of smell, it has good vision, alertness, tracking ability and combat effectiveness. It is a panacea among dogs.

The most important thing is that this kind of dog has a very high IQ, comparable to an eight or nine-year-old child when it grows up. It learns things very quickly and can be trained well. Even simple tactics are easy to deal with. It is also famous for its loyalty. a host.

Therefore, if you want to raise this kind of hunting dog, you must take it personally from the time of weaning. An experienced Andis hound is the best choice to become the head dog of the hound group. Sometimes wisdom is more important than personal force.
