Chapter 259 Is there a reward for second place?
“There’s something here!”
Mugalen walked slowly in the grass searching for animal traces. As a deer hunter, Mugalen was undoubtedly a skilled person. Less than two minutes after getting off the car, he found traces of prey in the grass that looked almost identical to ordinary people.
A patch of flattened grass.
Mugalen's face lit up with joy. When he was about to go forward to take a closer look, he suddenly remembered something and consciously glanced at Bifang beside him to see if the other party had found anything, but he came up empty-handed.
There was nothing in my peripheral vision but a patch of moss.
Um?
Where are the people?
How come such a big guy disappeared?
Mugalun was stunned. He turned his head to look to his side. The Bifang who was originally standing behind him had disappeared without a trace. He couldn't believe his eyes.
The two of them clearly got off the car together, so how come they suddenly disappeared?
He quickly turned around and asked Patton, who pointed in a direction. Mugalen looked and found that Bifang had already walked deep into the forest, with only a tiny figure left.
Any findings?
So fast?
Mugalen ran over quickly, and slowed down when he got close to avoid startling the prey. Patton followed closely in the car. When they were a certain distance away, he got out of the car and walked with the two little ones to see what Bifang had discovered.
Patton, who had been in the car, saw it clearly. After Bifang got out of the car, he seemed to look around casually, and then walked in one direction with a purpose, which was completely different from Mugalen who was looking for clues everywhere.
Very impressive.
Patton silently felt sad for his friend. He was not optimistic about the outcome of this competition. Just based on the move just now , Bifang was definitely better at finding prey than his friend.
After Mugalen caught up, Bifang also found his target, a rabbit that was eating.
“So soon?”
Mugalen's pupils constricted. He had just found a clue, but the other party actually found the prey directly. This speed was terrifyingly fast!
Finding clues and finding prey are two different things. Generally speaking, it will take a hunter who finds clues at least half an hour to actually track down the prey, and finding it is another matter.
What did the other party just do? How could you find it with just a glance?
Luck, it must be luck!
Mugalun comforted himself in his heart that it was not the first time he had encountered such a thing. When he was lucky, he would indeed meet prey when he went out.
"You coming?"
Seeing Mugalen following him, Bifang, thinking that the other party wanted to give it a try, lowered his voice and tilted his head to point at the hare forty meters away.
Mu Jialun waved his hand and lowered his voice: "No, no, no, you should come first. You found it first."
In terms of finding prey, the opponent wins the game. After all, luck is also part of strength, there is nothing much to say about it. However, whether you can catch it is another matter .
Bifang nodded, without any hesitation, and lowered his center of gravity to crawl towards the wild rabbit.
Although there is a gun in hand, the closer the distance is, the better. An experienced hunter can at least get within fifteen meters of the prey. However, Bifang stopped at thirty meters. It was not that it was impossible, but that there was no need to.
He raised his gun and aimed.
This is an ordinary hunting rifle, without a scope, and can only be aimed mechanically.
Mugalen paused, but still followed Bifang , not even bothering to look for prey to compete with.
Although it was a bit unethical, Mugalen had to admit that the scene where Bifang found its prey directly within two minutes had given him a great shock and made him feel quite pressured. He was no longer as confident about the competition in half a month as at the beginning, so he wanted to observe the opponent closely.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat."
Well, the steps are steady, the fox steps are very skillful, the sound is barely noticeable, and you can tell at first glance that he is a professional.
But I was still a little anxious. A normal person should try the gun first and get familiar with the subtle differences between guns. There can't be two identical guns in the world. Each gun feels different, not to mention that this is an old gun, and the accuracy is very different from that of a new gun.
Don't be fooled by the sharpshooters in movies and TV dramas . Mugalen's instructor once said something to him, and he still remembers it clearly.
If someone shoots you with a pistol from fifteen meters away, just run. There is a 90% chance that he will miss.
Thirty meters is still quite far. Mugalen clearly remembered that the trajectory of this gun was biased to the left. It was the first time he touched this gun, and the chance of hitting the target at a distance of more than thirty meters was very small.
But after the other party got the gun, he didn't show any intention to try it out and just started using it directly. As a special forces soldier, he shouldn't need to be reminded of this. It was a very strange operation.
Bifang calmed down, half-crouched on the ground, raised his gun and aimed at the hare, but before he was ready, the hare suddenly straightened up, as if it had sensed the danger, and tilted its head back and forth, about to look towards them.
Mugalen's muscles were tense and he was extremely nervous. Just as he was about to retreat, a gunshot made the hairs all over his body shiver.
So fast!
No more!
At this moment, two thoughts flashed through Mugalen's mind like lightning.
Bifang fired too quickly. Mugalen had the impression that he had just crouched down and aimed when he fired. In this situation, how could he possibly hit the target!
Sure enough, the rabbit's fur flew up in sight, and the bullet grazed its back hair and hit the tree behind it, causing the bark to splash. It didn't hit the rabbit at all!
The frightened rabbit jumped up as if in response, and its strong thighs pushed the ground, raising large pieces of grass and dirt. In just a few tenths of a second, the rabbit leaped forward seven or eight meters, covering a distance of thirty meters by nearly forty meters.
But before Mugalen could feel any regret, a bolt was pulled and a golden shell was ejected, followed by a second gunshot.
Two seconds later, the rabbit jumped nearly twenty meters, but it could no longer run away. An orange bullet penetrated from the left side of its body and flew out from the right side, bringing out a lot of blood and rabbit hair.
The huge force carried the rabbit into the air, and then it fell to the ground, dead without even a scream.
Mugalen's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, and his throat made an unconscious hoarse sound, with an expression as if he was numb with shock.
Even Patton, who was hiding behind a tree with his two little ones in the distance, opened his mouth wide. As a hunter, he naturally understood what had just happened.
The other party fired two shots in a very short period of time. After confirming that there was a problem with the trajectory, he hit a moving target fifty meters away with the second shot. Is this still a human being?
There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air. Bifang sniffed. He was not used to the smell and it was pungent.
He picked up the gun and aimed it at the fallen rabbit again: "The trajectory of this gun is biased to the left, otherwise the first shot would have hit it. You can try changing the barrel when you have time."
Mugalen was completely speechless at this moment. His mind was blank and he just nodded unconsciously.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Bifang shook his head and walked towards the fallen rabbit.
At this moment, it had completely stopped breathing and there was a bloody hole on its body.
"What a pity. The fur is not of very good quality. The gunshot is too loud and the smell of blood is too strong. Hunting with a gun is convenient, but it also has many disadvantages."
Bifang shook his head and picked up the rabbit.
At this time, Mugalen finally reacted after a brief shock. He came to Bifang with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Bifang noticed something was wrong and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Mugalen was silent for a while, and finally spoke with difficulty.
"Is there any reward for second place?"
