Chapter 1540: The Trick

Femas can smell coyotes. Although the deer's sense of smell is not as sensitive as that of dogs, deer's sense of smell and hearing are very developed. The combination is not much worse than that of dogs. In addition, they have lived in the forest for a long time. Instinctively, they also sensed that the enemy was approaching.

It was too dark at night, and the night vision of the deer was very poor. They knew that there was an enemy, and they could roughly know the enemy's position, but they didn't run away for the time being because the head deer didn't run away. The head deer has learned the lesson of running around at night and hitting a tree last time. It pinned its hopes on humans. It heard Zhang Zian's footsteps. Since he can drive away the black bear, it is no problem to drive away the coyote .

Still, the herd held their ground at first, but when the coyotes started howling, the doe and fawn panicked and tried to flee. Enduring the pain, the head deer struggled to stop the deer that wanted to escape.

When facing a black bear, you can run away, because if you don’t run, you will die. If you run, you may not die, but coyotes scare the deer to make them escape. The young deer are directly exposed to the wolf's kiss.

In the silent forest, the long howling of wolves was particularly frightening. It sent chills down the spine, and even the small nocturnal animals were silent.

The other elves had already arrived, and they didn't get too close. First, they didn't know Zhang Zian's attitude towards the wolf-deer dispute, and second, they were worried about the prion protein and were worried about being infected.

Zhang Zian and Xinghai came late, Lao Cha said: "Zian, shall we watch the fire from the other side, or intervene? If the deer flee, will the coyotes attack us?"

He looked around with his night vision goggles, and signaled to wait and see what happened. As long as the deer didn't run away, the coyotes probably wouldn't dare to attack rashly.

"Strange, are there only a few coyotes?"

He wondered if there were no other coyotes in the vicinity.

"What do you mean?" Fina asked, "Aren't these few enough? Do you still think there are too few?"

"That's not what it means." He denied it first and then explained: "Because when wolves or lions hunt their prey, they usually adopt a very clever cooperation mode. The main force responsible for the attack first lays an ambush nearby, and the other few are responsible for the feint attack. , drive the prey to the ambush circle preset by the main force, and then flank back and forth, wrapping the prey in dumplings."

He said while gesticulating, explaining in an easy-to-understand manner.

Vladimir praised: "I can't see it, they will spontaneously adopt this simple and efficient tactic, the wisdom of the people is infinite!"

"That's why I wonder if wolves and lions are like that,

There's no reason the more adaptable coyotes shouldn't employ similar tactics. He pointed to the pairs of eyes in the darkness, "Look, they are just howling and bluffing, but they don't seem to have the intention to attack actively. Is this what a real attack will be like?" I think they are responsible for the feint. The main force of the coyotes has not yet appeared, and they are still lurking in the dark. "

He pointed out the doubts, and the elves suddenly realized.

But isn't it just like what he said, these coyotes are bluffing, the purpose is to drive the deer herd to the ambush site of the main force.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move; if the enemy wants to move, I'll move first!" Vladimir nodded frequently, "It's the best policy to stay still! One move will hit the enemy's way!"

So, where is the workhorse for the Coyotes?

These coyotes may also feel a little puzzled. Usually, as long as they howl like this a few times, the deer will be scared and run away. Why are the deer refusing to leave the place today?

Zhang Zian used the night vision device to scan the front in a wide range. It stands to reason that the forest terrain is complex, and the coyotes will not lie in ambush too far. Otherwise, what if the deer don't run in the direction they want?

But he didn't see other shining eyes, and of course it might be blocked by trees or bushes.

Lao Cha jumped up to the tree, condescending, and saw no suspicious moving objects.

Could it be that he overestimated these coyotes? In fact, these few lines are all of the coyotes. There are no feints or main attacks at all. They just want to scare the deer away, but today the deer did not follow the script, so the coyotes are at a loss?

Is that right?

This is the most reasonable explanation so far, but it cannot completely dispel the doubts in his heart.

The coyotes howled for a long time, but seeing no effect, they stopped howling one after another, and the deer gradually calmed down, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

At this time, the silence of the forest was suddenly pierced by a shrill night owl cry!

Zhang Zian's heart trembled, and he and the elves turned their heads to look back, because the cry came from behind them, and it was the spotted owl's cry!

Immediately afterwards.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

"Quack! Quack! Somebody wants to molest me!"

π and Richard, who stayed in the tent because of their poor eyesight at night, also yelled almost at the same time, their voices full of fear.

Fuck!

Zhang Zian suddenly understood that the real target of the coyote's attack was not the herd of deer, it was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain! The coyotes appeared unhurriedly, howling one after another. The real purpose was to attract him and hold him and the deer here with feint attacks, making him think that they were going to attack the deer, but the main force of the coyotes The troops have already quietly ambushed around the tent, and their real target is a monkey and a bird in the tent!

But are coyotes that smart?

He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ran back with the elves around him at the fastest speed.

"Meow meow! I hunt geese every day, but today I was pecked by geese!" Vladimir said regretfully, which also represented the aspirations of the other elves.

The previous black bear made him and the elves form a mindset, thinking that the appearance of the coyote also wanted to attack the herd of deer, but he never expected that the coyote would target them.

Fortunately, the place where the deer lived was an open space, very close to the tents set up by trees, the straight line distance was only about 20 meters, the elves arrived one step ahead, and he arrived afterward.

Before he got close, he saw the blazing bonfire and several coyotes that were illuminated by the fire. They wanted to attack the tent, but they were instinctively afraid of the fire, and they lingered only two or three meters away from the bonfire. The place. Even so, they did not flinch, as if they were determined to win every monkey and bird in the tent.

The coyotes bared their teeth and let out a menacing growl, and a low, hoarse growl came from the darkness where the fire could not shine, as if urging the coyotes to attack.

The old tea came back from the tree. It was condescending, its eyes flashed, and when it saw the figure of that thing, it suddenly remembered a legendary animal, and exclaimed: "That's embarrassing?"
