Chapter 321: The Road in the Dense Forest

This large group of people totaled about 100, among whom 20 were carrying radio sets.

After entering the mountains, this group dispersed into small squads of 10 people each.

Furthermore, every small squad had two people carrying radio sets, and each squad was also assigned two dogs.

To be honest, the combat power possessed by 100 fully armed men is absolutely a terrifying existence.

But when this number of people is put into the vast mountains, it can only be considered negligible, or even ignored.

Moreover, it was evident that these people had entered the mountains to search for something or someone.

After a round of "bang-bang-bang" from Wang An and his two companions, basically all the wild boars that could be seen were shot dead.

Not counting the two or three lucky ones that ran fast, nor the few that fell into the large trench, the remaining wild boars all became souls under the trio's guns.

From the moment Wang An fired the first shot to the moment they all took their guns down from their faces, the trio's total slaughter time was less than 3 minutes.

Actually, hunting is just like this; what consumes the most time is the time spent searching for prey, the time spent setting up the battlefield, and the time spent butchering the prey after killing it.

As for the actual slaughtering of the prey, it is nothing more than pulling the trigger. It can be said that the speed is extremely fast, and the time used is also extremely short.

After the three walked together and exchanged smiles, they began to press bullets into their guns.

It is just like this in the mountains; one must try their best to keep the bullets in the chamber in a full state at all times.

After adding the bullets, the three of them pulled out the hunting knives tucked at their waists without prior agreement and began to bleed the wild boars that had been shot dead.

After counting, in the place where Mu Xueli and Wang Li had ambushed and its vicinity, the three had killed a total of 17 wild boars.

Among them were 5 sows, ranging from two hundred thirty or forty jin to two hundred eighty or ninety jin, and 2 young boars that had just started to grow tusks, both weighing about two hundred jin.

Young boars that have just started to grow tusks are male wild boars whose yellow fur has completely faded, replaced by a full coat of new black fur, and whose tusks have also started to emerge.

Of course, Wang An heard all these terms from Feng Chengmin; the very thing he hunted on the second day after his rebirth was this creature.

The remaining 10 were all large yellow-furred boars weighing from one hundred twenty or thirty jin to one hundred sixty or seventy jin.

After bleeding these 17 wild boars, the three of them followed the path Wang An had driven the game along to bleed the 5 wild boars that Wang An had shot and wounded.

The wild boar wounded by Wang An was paralyzed because it was hit in the spine near the front leg.

It must be said that although the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle uses medium-power ammunition, at a distance of over 200 meters, the power is quite significant, because the part of this wild boar's spine that was hit looked as if it had been shattered by force.

These five wild boars were 1 large boar weighing three hundred forty or fifty jin, two sows, and two large yellow-furred boars.

After finishing the bleeding, Mu Xueli took out cigarettes and gave one to Wang An and Wang Li each. After they all lit their cigarettes, Mu Xueli said with a bit of worry:

"Brother-in-law, how are we going to get all these pigs out?"

Wang An was also thinking about this matter and was equally worried, so he glanced at the dead pigs on the ground but did not speak.

Because before entering this Wild Boar Ridge, the three of them had first passed through that dense forest which was about 600 meters long.

And the three of them had deep experience with that dense forest; let alone passing a sled, even for a person to walk through it holding a Type 56 semi-automatic, it was damn hard work.

The three of them smoked their cigarettes while looking at the wild boars in front of them, trying to think of a way.

Suddenly, Wang An thought of the footprints of those four people.

One must know that two people supporting one person walking is equivalent to three people walking side by side, and a path that three people can walk side by side on must be able to accommodate a sled.

Because the sleds used for mountain driving are quite long but relatively narrow, basically just a little wider than a horse.

Thinking of this, Wang An's eyes lit up. After taking a few quick puffs of his cigarette, Wang An threw the butt on the ground and said to the two: "Alright, you two hurry up and gut the pigs. After gutting them, if you have time, peel them; if not, we'll talk about it when we get home. I just discovered a path that a sled can take, so I'll go take a look. If it's passable, I'll go drive the sled over."

After Wang An finished speaking, he turned and left. But after walking only a few steps, Wang An suddenly thought of the footprints of those four people again, so he said with a very serious expression:

"This Wild Boar Ridge isn't very peaceful. You two be alert; don't just squat there and not look at anything."

After Wang An finished speaking, he glanced at the two and said very sternly again:

"In a while, you two load your Box Cannons and keep them by your sides at all times. If you feel something is wrong, just open fire. Shoot first and talk later. Do you two hear me?"

When he said the last sentence, Wang An's tone had already changed from stern to reprimanding.

"Yes, Fourth Brother."

"Heard you, brother-in-law."

The two replied almost simultaneously.

Seeing Wang An's expression suddenly become so stern, although the two didn't know why, they were very obedient.

They were seen loading their Box Cannons right in front of Wang An.

Seeing the two's actions, Wang An nodded and turned to leave again.

Finding the footprints left by the four people, Wang An began to track them.

After walking for a while, Wang An also arrived at the dense forest, but before entering, Wang An carefully observed left and right.

After observing, Wang An discovered that this place was actually an extension of the large trench, only the trench had become flat ground by the time it reached here.

And the most crucial thing was that this was a stream ice surface over three meters wide.

In other words, this trench actually looked quite similar to the one where they had caught the deer; it was equivalent to digging a gap with a huge pickaxe at the foot of a mountain.

Actually, these were all washed out bit by bit by rainwater or mountain floods every time it rained. Such trenches are very common in the vast mountains.

And the large trench where Wang An always dumped corpses was also similar to this.

It was only then that Wang An suddenly thought of the few wild boars that had fallen into the large trench, because Wang An still felt a bit of heartache after those few wild boars fell in.

However, dragging pigs out from a very deep trench is simply like pulling teeth. Although one can use the strength of a horse, a person must reach the bottom of the trench.

One must know that in a normal large trench, whether it is the trench wall or the trench bottom, there will be brush or bushes growing. If a person wants to go in, it is really not just ordinarily difficult.

But a large trench like this with a stream ice surface is different, because this proves that there are no plants at the bottom of the trench, and it is also an ice surface, because the water flows out from the trench.

In this way, Wang An can drive the sled directly from here to the inside.

That is to say, those few wild boars that fell into the large trench can be pulled out directly using the sled.

Thinking of this, a smile immediately hung on the corner of Wang An's mouth.

Then Wang An followed the footprints and walked into the dense forest.

What Wang An did not expect was that there really was a road in this dense forest. Although this road twisted and turned, there was absolutely no problem for a sled to pass through.

Moreover, this road was clearly opened by humans, because the bushes or brush on both sides of the road had traces of being cut by machetes or axes.

Seeing these, Wang An felt even more that those four people who left the footprints really had big problems.

Please reward with tickets, thank you, thank you.
