Chapter 532 Black Bear Attacks!
In the hotel lounge, Richard and others looked at the screen on the computer, all breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into cheers.
They hid it from everyone.
First step, success!
Mandy and Keke high-fived to celebrate.
One night is far from enough to install all the cameras, but last night’s success gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
Even though they were all locked up in the hotel, there was still a way to break through the blockade and make everything public.
Mandy asked, "Where are those people? Are they still guarding us?"
Richard shook his head. "They left at six in the morning, followed us during the day, and trapped us in the hotel at night. We were not allowed to go anywhere."
Local communities and residents thought that this would cut off the filming route of Richard and others, but the facts showed that this was absolutely impossible.
They never learned a word.
Ming repaired the plank road.
Secretly pass through Chencang.
"Has Bifang started live streaming?"
"Not yet. It's only seven o'clock now. It starts at eight, but we were busy until two yesterday. He might not be back in the forest until four."
Keke thought about what happened last night and made an estimate in his mind.
In fact, it is not that late. Bifang can find the way back to the city even in the deep mountains and forests, let alone this half-town, half-forest place. He returned at around 3:30 and is still sleeping now.
At eight o'clock, all the hunters participating in the hunting season started broadcasting one after another, looking ready to continue.
Only Bifang has no news yet.
A large group of viewers sitting in front of the screen are Muggles.
[What's going on? It's already 8:30 and the show hasn't started yet? ]
【Sleeping in? 】
[If you say that you still have a chance, and Lao Fang is asleep, I absolutely don’t believe it. ]
[Nothing will happen, right?]
Considering Bifang's usual habit of getting up early to broadcast live, as well as his reliable character, most viewers couldn't help but worry.
There are so many black bears in the Japanese forests. Could something have happened at night?
With this worry, it was not until nine o'clock in the morning that the audience saw Bifang belatedly apologize for sleeping late.
Bifang knocked his neck and took a few deep breaths before he perked up.
Six hours of sleep is not a small amount, but Bifang hadn’t stayed up all night for a long time. He actually overslept and felt a little dizzy.
Fortunately, it was only temporary discomfort. After taking a few deep breaths, Bifang quickly calmed down.
[Damn it, Lao Fang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so late today? ]
[Did he do something bad behind our backs? ]
"There's no reason, I just overslept." Bifang touched the back of his head and laughed .
[Waiting for an hour in vain]
[Hey, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have gotten up so early.]
"Sorry, sorry, I won't do that next time. I will definitely start the show before 8:30."
Bifang apologizes to the audience.
Last night was an accident. No one expected Richard and others to be trapped in the hotel. It will definitely end earlier tonight.
Start at ten o'clock and be back around two o'clock.
"If you get up late, you have to work harder. Did anyone hunt a black bear this morning?"
【have!】
"Um?"
Bifang was stunned when he stretched himself and asked doubtfully, "Is it true?"
As a result, a large number of comments appeared. Was there really someone hunting bears between eight and nine o'clock?
[It’s not 8 or 9 o’clock, it’s probably between 4 and 5 in the morning]
[Yes, it was hunted in the early morning, and it was live broadcast, but it seems that not many people watched it. ]
[They are a pair of hunters from the Ugly Country, a trio]
Through the fragmentary comments, Bifang pieced together the whole process of the incident.
A trio of Ugly Country hunters formed a strong team early on, perhaps because they were from the same country or they knew each other beforehand.
We were lucky enough to find the black bear on the first day.
So they decided to defend and counterattack, making many large traps and digging a spike pit.
I had originally planned to lure the black bear the next day, so I ended the live broadcast. But what I didn’t expect was that the black bear actually came to my door.
Fortunately, someone was on guard and set up a cordon, so everyone hurriedly started a live broadcast and prepared to hunt the bear.
Fortunately, they were well prepared and the three of them were all veterans. They did not panic, but led the black bear to the trap in an orderly manner.
The 1.5-meter-long black bear was first knocked dizzy by a huge log, and then was pulled into a pit by two hunters. A spear in the pit pierced its torso and it died on the spot.
There were only a few scratches during the whole process, and not too many accidents.
The trio from Ugly Country was also the first group to hunt a black bear. The black bear was 1.5 meters long, but unfortunately it was pierced like a hedgehog and suffered serious damage. They received a total of nine points, with 2.4 points per person.
The points were not much, but the three were the first hunters to get something, and they were all very happy. After the helicopter lifted the black bear's body away, the three did not return to the town, and did not even clean up the bloodstains. Instead, they set up more traps and waited for the black bear to come.
A three-person team means that they have to hunt at least three black bears in a cycle to be comparable to a single-person team. But the benefits are also obvious: there is strength in numbers, and they can also restrain ferocious black bears.
Holding a spear and standing five to six meters away, although the black bear is extremely strong, its flexibility is far inferior to that of cats. As long as they grasp the right measure, it is not a big problem for two people to restrain a wounded black bear.
The only regret is that the timing of capturing the black bear was not very coincidental. It was in the early morning, and the live broadcast was closed and then reopened without prior notice. Apart from the staff on duty, there were very few viewers who saw it.
Someone actually caught a black bear the next morning, which obviously gave Bifang a great sense of crisis.
I'm just here to slack off, but I can't be too pretentious.
“We need to work hard!”
noon.
The name of the forbidden zone hunter is worthy of it. Bifang can easily see any traces left by any animals in the surrounding environment with just a glance.
Rabbits, pheasants, snakes, mice, foxes, birds, wild dogs, and...bears!
The scratched hair, the broken branches, and the crushed fruits under the huge footprints.
Bifang knelt on one knee and placed his palm next to the deep claw mark. As an adult male of 1.85 meters in height, Bifang's palm was already quite large due to his frequent grasping, which made it rough and with distinct joints.
But the footprint in front of me looks delicate like a girl's hand.
The audience also didn't expect that Bifang made the discovery so quickly. In just two hours, he found fresh traces.
"See? What a big footprint! A slap from it would have smashed my head. Ancient people often feared the power and ferocity of bears, so many indigenous tribes used bears as their totems."
"There are still many areas where bears are called 'human bears' and compared to humans. In fact, it is not because bears look very similar to humans, but mainly because the four paws of bears are very similar to the palms and soles of humans, and bears can walk upright, so bears are called human bears."
"Of all the large carnivorous beasts, only bears and humans have five toes on their hands and feet, and they walk with their heels touching the ground."
"Anyone who has seen bear paw prints in the zoo must know that the way a bear's front and back paws touch the ground is completely different. Only the front half of a bear's front paw touches the ground, while the entire heel and sole of the back paw touch the ground at the same time, so it is also called palmar walking. The hind paw prints of a bear are almost exactly the same as human footprints."
"Both cats and dogs walk by digitigrade, using two stomata to walk, with only the front half of the stomata touching the ground."
[Wait, where are the tigers? I remember last time Lao Fang said there were five tigers? ]
[Eh, did I remember it wrong? ]
Bifang grinned, "You didn't pay attention in class. The last time we talked about toe prints was when we encountered a water monitor lizard, right? I remember that you clearly said that five claws could rule out cats and dogs, right?"
[Ah, this seems to be the case…]
[It’s over, my memory is confused]
[Teacher Fang, I accept the punishment. Please come with me into the small dark room]
【You are not right】
"Large feline predators, such as tigers, have five toes on each front foot. Four toes are in the front, arranged like a half-moon, and one toe is at the back. They are completely different from the five fingers of bears and humans. As I just said, cats only walk with the front half, so the small toe at the back usually does not leave a mark."
"Each of their hind feet has only four toes, arranged in a straight line on the tiger's paw."
Bifang briefly explained why cats basically have four paw prints.
"And like dogs, bears cannot retract their claws, which is also the biggest difference between them and cats."
Pulling the spear and javelin from his back, Bifang's steps became cautious and vigilant.
"From now on, we must be extremely careful. The black bear may be nearby."
With footprints, tracking becomes very simple. With footprints and smell, Bifang can quickly start tracking.
At the same time, the other thirty-four hunters had their own gains, and some had even started to deal with the black bear!
During the whole process, Bifang made new discoveries.
A steaming pile of shit!
Bifang knelt on the ground and said, "Black bears are omnivores. Their food includes everything from prey meat, grass, berries, nuts, fruits, fish, to beetles."
"The dung of an adult black bear is about three to five centimeters in diameter and often contains undigested or semi-digested food."
"It is summer now, the season when berry fruits ripen. Black bears will eat a large amount of these fruits, sometimes up to 10,000 a day. The feces at this time are mostly loose, without a fixed shape, and mixed with plant seeds."
Bifang pointed at the feces on the ground, and sure enough, it was not a long strip, but sections, with many particles in the middle. These particles were the fundamental reason why the feces could not form strips.
[Fuck, I'm actually reading this seriously? ]
[My mother asked me why I was watching S]
"Sorry, is that a bit harsh?"
[Woo woo woo, you finally found it]
[I don't want to watch this]
[I am very happy to have learned something, but there is always a strange feeling. 】
Bifang placed his hand three inches above the feces and slightly restrained his breathing.
"It's still warm. It must have been pulled not long ago. It might be nearby... No, it's right here!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise coming from the woods not far away , and large pieces of leaves began to shake and fall.
The earth trembles and leaves fall.
A huge monster suddenly rushed out of the bushes.
Black bear!!!
