Chapter 407

On the road, Wu Dong looked at the spiked collars and protective gear on the dogs and said to Wang An with a face full of admiration:

"Xiao An, these two things on the dogs, did you figure them out?"

Wang An, upon hearing this, admitted it without hesitation, nodded, and said with a smile:

"Mm, this thing I figured out, does it look quite vicious?"

Wu Dong nodded in agreement and said:

"You say, if this thing were put on military dogs or police dogs, wouldn't it also be quite good?"

Wang An thought to himself, I learned it from police dogs, so it must be good; if it weren't good, why would police dogs wear this stuff?

Consequently, Wang An followed Wu Dong's words and said:

"Then you should report it and see if it can attract the attention of those above."

Wu Dong said with a smile: "Mm, after we finish off this tiger, I'll report it and see if I can get a small merit or something."

It could be seen that Wu Dong was still very keen on getting merit and climbing up.

Because he had mentioned wanting to get merit more than once.

Of course, this was very understandable; after all, everyone has their own pursuits.

And wanting to be an official, a high official, was also almost everyone's common pursuit.

Wang An just didn't have the opportunity to be an official; if Wang An could hold an official position, Wang An would also want to climb up; that's no problem.

However, Wu Dong's words made Wang An think of that hollow stone mountain.

Mainly the documents inside the stone mountain.

If those documents were used well, promotion and wealth would definitely be a must.

However, if this matter could also bring along his sworn big sister, it would be even more perfect.

Thinking about things in his head didn't delay Wang An's journey.

It was just that as they walked, Wang An discovered that the road the tiger took was actually heading toward Wild Boar Ridge.

Could it be that the tiger was really the legendary "wild boar keeper"?

Suddenly, all ten dogs had their hair stand on end and barked wildly while looking toward the front right.

It could be seen that except for Da Hei and Da Qing, the other 8 dogs, although barking quite happily, were all in a state of being very afraid or, one could say, terrified.

Because their tails were all tightly tucked between their two hind legs.

Almost all dogs were like this; as long as it was cowardly, it would inevitably run with its tail tucked.

Fortunately, with the master by their side, the dogs' fear was slightly less.

Hearing the dogs bark, everyone raised their guns.

And looked toward the direction of the dogs' barking with grave expressions.

Almost everyone thought that at this time, the tiger was in the direction the dogs were barking.

However, what made Wang An feel puzzled was that the three horses didn't have the slightest reaction.

Wang An took the lead and drove the sled toward the direction of the dogs' barking.

The purpose of entering the mountains was to hunt tigers, so how could they shrink back?

Soon, everyone knew what had made the dogs so panicked—that was, a pile of tiger dung.

Seeing the dogs barking at the tiger dung, everyone put their guns down one after another, their faces full of speechlessness.

A pile of dung made the dogs this nervous; from this, one could see how scared the dogs would be if the tiger came in person.

However, the appearance of this pile of tiger dung proved that the tiger was in the vicinity of this area.

Because this pile of tiger dung looked like it hadn't been there long; it could be considered fresh dung.

The expressions of the few people also began to become grave because of the existence of this pile of tiger dung.

And one by one, they didn't even have the mind to joke.

Immediately afterward, everyone followed the tiger's footprints and continued to pursue.

Until noon, everyone still had nothing to show for it; except for that pile of tiger dung and tiger footprints, they hadn't even seen a single tiger hair.

And Wang An discovered that this tiger had no intention of being a "wild boar keeper."

Because its route didn't touch Wild Boar Ridge at all.

Perhaps because the tiger had passed by, so during this morning, except for seeing a few rabbits from afar, the group didn't see any other prey.

Helpless, the hungry group started boiling water and heating dry rations.

However, although they couldn't hunt any prey along the way, the food was still very good, because besides steamed buns, everyone also had a can of meat.

Of course, this canned meat was prepared by Wu Dong and the others.

After lunch, the group didn't delay and started tracking the tiger again.

I don't know why this tiger could run so well; after an afternoon passed, the group still had no harvest.

What mainly puzzled the group was that this tiger was like a lunatic, sometimes going south, sometimes going north, not walking in a straight line at all.

In the evening, the group, having tossed and turned for a day, although they were sitting on sleds, were still very tired, mainly mentally tired.

Setting up the tents and lighting the campfire, the group, after a simple dinner, planned to take turns keeping watch until dawn.

Actually, with dogs, there was no need to keep watch, because dogs were the best night watchmen.

If dogs couldn't play a warning role at night, then with human hearing and sense of smell, it would be even more useless.

However, the reason why people needed to keep watch was that everyone agreed that in case the tiger made a sneak attack at night, having guns to suppress it and not having guns was completely different.

Wang An, as the general commander of this tiger hunt, was very "lucky" to be arranged in the first time slot, which was from 8 to 9 at night.

And from 9 o'clock on, it was two people per group, keeping watch for two hours.

As the snoring of the group rang out, Wang An, sitting by the campfire and smoking, also felt quite sleepy.

Consequently, after adding a few pieces of firewood to the campfire, Wang An stood up and stretched fiercely.

Then Wang An started walking in circles around the campfire and the tents.

For a person, as long as one moves, one will definitely not be that sleepy.

When Wang An felt that he was completely energetic and not sleepy, only then did he return to the campfire and sit down.

It was just that before his butt was warm, Wang An suddenly had a feeling of hair standing on end and his back feeling cold.

Wang An subconsciously stood up and raised the Type 81 rifle.

Immediately afterward, Da Hei and Da Qing also started to make "woo-woo-woo" sounds.

This sound sounded like it had absolutely no intention of attacking, but rather like it was calling out or warning.

To tell the truth, Wang An had been in contact with these dogs for so long, yet he had never heard dogs make this kind of sound.

At this time, Wang An, although his finger was on the trigger, ready to fire at any time, didn't close one eye to aim.

Mainly, it was pitch black in the middle of the night.

With both eyes, one couldn't see anything; with one eye, it would be even more useless.

As for aiming, that was even more absurd; one couldn't even see, so what was there to aim at?

Suddenly, in Wang An's line of sight, a green light spot flashed and disappeared, and Wang An pulled the trigger without hesitation.

At such a time, don't think about anything; just firing the gun is enough.

Whether it hits or not, whether it hits something or not, it doesn't matter.
