Chapter 1557 Killing the Wild Wolf
Bai Hao was sweating profusely at this moment. Facing the current crisis, he might face death if he was not careful. This was also the first time he had really fought a large beast so far.
However, his plan went smoothly!
At the moment when the wolf pounced, Bai Hao made way. Behind him was an area covered with straw.
The wolf rushed directly over, with great inertia. Seeing Bai Hao dodge, he hurriedly wanted to turn around, but was greeted by Huang Hai's arrow.
The power of this arrow was not very strong, but it pierced directly into its hind legs, causing the wolf to lose balance. It continued to rush forward in inertia and plunged into the straw.
Then the body lost balance in an instant and fell down directly.
There was only a bang.
"Awoo!"
Then there was a sharp shout.
Seeing that everything was completed, Bai Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead. The two sides relied on tacit cooperation to make everything much easier.
When he looked in the direction of the wolf, it had fallen into a deep pit trap.
This was a trap he had set up long before. Because the wild wolf had approached before, he had already prepared for it. The depth of the deep pit reached more than 2m, and there were many sharp bamboo thorns inside. Ordinary beasts would surely die if they fell into it.
After the wild wolf fell in, seven or eight bamboo thorns directly pierced into his stomach and passed through. Even if he struggled with all his strength, it only made the wound bigger.
In less than a minute, the painful wailing turned into sobbing, and the shouting became smaller and smaller.
Bai Hao and Huang Hai watched this scene quietly, and they all said in their hearts that it was a close call. If there was only one person today, maybe the wild wolf would have succeeded.
Fortunately, there were two people today. With the cooperation of each other, the wild wolf was completely crushed and ended its life in this dangerous way. This was definitely the luck of the two.
Watching the wild wolf struggling in the trap, the breath became weaker and weaker, and the movement of the struggle became smaller and smaller. A large amount of blood accumulated in the deep pit, and finally turned into a small pool of blood.
After making sure that the wolf was completely dead, the two began the next step.
Bai Hao carefully jumped into the trap and pulled the dead wolf out of the bamboo.
At this time, he clearly found that the weight of this wolf was heavier than he thought, probably reaching 50 or 60 kilograms. It should not be the same wolf as the last time it approached. This one is much larger, and its hair is also black and gray, obviously more mature.
Just lifting this 50-kilogram corpse took a lot of his strength.
Huang Hai took over and carried the whole wolf out, and then pulled Bai Hao up with him.
The two panted and looked at the wolf on the ground, their eyes full of surprise.
They are both in a state of tension, but now looking at the harvest, they are relaxed and excited.
The meaning of this whole wolf is really not simple.
First of all, it was a whole piece of fur. This large fur could be used to make clothes or pants, and it had a great warmth-keeping effect, which was equivalent to giving the two of them a set of winter clothes.
Secondly, it was its flesh and blood. Even if the fur, bones, and some useless organs were removed, at least 40 kilograms of flesh and blood would be left.
If these 40 kilograms of flesh and blood were used as food, they would be enough for a very long time. If used with starch, they would definitely last for several months.
And now it is approaching winter, the temperature is very low, and it can be kept fresh.
If it is made into bacon jerky, the storage time should be longer.
Bai Hao was not stingy with this harvest. Although hunting this wild wolf mainly relied on the traps he set up, Huang Hai's role was also unquestionable.
So after thinking for a while, he said, "Huang Hai, I want the fur of this wild wolf, and we can each take half of the flesh and blood, how about that?"
Huang Hai looked at him with some surprise. He didn't expect Bai Hao to be so generous. He thought that giving him 5 to 10 kilograms of meat at most was very good.
After all, strictly speaking, even without his assistance, Bai Hao would have been able to push the wolf directly into the trap, and the arrow he shot was just the icing on the cake.
Bai Hao gave him half of the flesh and blood, which was at least 20 pounds, which really made him feel grateful.
However, the two had known each other for a while, and he had no friendship. After a few words of gratitude, they started to cut up the wolf's body together.
Separate the fur from the belly, peel off the whole wolf skin, and then cut the flesh and blood inside.
Because too much blood flowed, the blood was not collected again. Besides, if the flesh and blood were used directly, it could actually replenish salt, so there was no need to drink blood directly.
The flesh and blood that were cut out in the end were slightly less than expected, probably because the wolf had been hungry for a long time, so the fat in the body was much less, and it was relatively thinner.
But even so, the meat pieces still filled several baskets.
These baskets were woven by Bai Hao on a daily basis. They could store more things than bamboo tubes and were very convenient to use.
In addition to the flesh and blood, even the bones were not thrown away this time. The bones of the gray wolf are not small and can be used to make soup or as weapons. They are quite useful.
After dividing the flesh and blood equally, he handed a basket of meat to Huang Hai, which was considered to be a complete division of the harvest this time.
When they finished all this, it was already dawn. It was about three or four o'clock in the morning. The weather was still very cold and the wind was howling, but the two had no intention of continuing to sleep.
While cleaning the bloodstains in the mud, they began to put the blood and flesh in the oven to bake and smoke dry.
However, the two also took out some fresh blood and flesh, as well as a few cans of starch, to make meat noodle dumpling soup, which they would eat as food for today.
However, Bai Hao had obviously won a great victory and harvested a lot of food, but his expression was very heavy, and he did not show a particularly happy expression.
Huang Hai could probably guess the reason, and took the initiative to say: "Isn't it the first time that wild wolves have appeared in your camp?"
"Yes, it appeared once before, and recently I found a lot of wild wolf feces and footprints here. There should be a lot of wild wolves around..."
Bai Hao's voice was very low. This situation covered his life with a layer of haze. If there were really a lot of wild wolves around, then he would be in great danger.
Today we were able to discover it in time and cooperate with Huang Hai to hunt down the wild wolf, but who can guarantee that our luck will always be so good in the future?
