Chapter 963

After hearing Wang An's words, Mu Xueli immediately defended himself, saying:

"No, no, really no, how could that be? I was just asking, hehehehe."

Ignoring Mu Xueli, Wang An turned and walked toward the place where the three horses were.

When Wang An returned riding one horse and leading two, Mu Xueli and Wang Li had already finished dismantling the man-bear.

And they had also fed the dogs quite a bit of meat.

Seeing Sanqing and Erhuang lying there, Wang An subconsciously asked Mu Xueli:

"How are those two dogs? Did they eat any meat?"

For an animal like a dog, as long as it is willing to eat food after being injured, generally speaking, there is no major problem; if it doesn't even eat meat, that is the most damn thing.

Because if that were the case, it would mean the dog's internal injuries are very serious; if it can't pull through, the dog would very likely die.

Hearing Wang An's question, Mu Xueli said with a relaxed face:

"Not delayed at all, they are eating quite fiercely; it's just that we didn't dare to feed them too much, fearing they might have gas in their stomachs and end up overstuffing them."

Wang An nodded and said together with Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"Mm, it's right to feed them a little less; after we get home, feed them a little less for these two days too, don't cause any trouble for the dogs."

Sanqing and Erhuang, these two dogs, although not lead dogs, can be called top-tier helpers; if such dogs were to have an accident, it would definitely be a huge loss for the three of them.

Hearing this, Mu Xueli and Wang Li said almost simultaneously:

"Mm, Fourth Brother."

"Rest assured, brother-in-law."

As they spoke, the three divided all the meat into three sacks, put the bear skin on the horse's back, and then the three walked toward the place where the other sack was, each leading a horse.

To tell the truth, this man-bear skin is actually useless when taken home, but for the 200-yuan reward mentioned by Sun Da, it wouldn't do not to take it back.

Soon, about half an hour later, the three of Wang An walked to the vicinity of the big tree where the meat had been hung earlier.

But before they could even get close, Da Hei suddenly started barking, and immediately after, Da Hei led the dogs and rushed out.

Only Sanqing and Erhuang, these two dogs, because of their physical condition, stopped after following for a few steps.

It was very obvious that Da Hei had smelled the scent of some animal.

Hearing Da Hei's barking, the three couldn't help but be stunned, mainly because at noon, Wang An had fired his gun right in front of that big tree where the black blind bear had fallen to its death.

So logically speaking, within a radius of two or three li, animals shouldn't appear for a short time.

After all, whether it's the sound of gunfire or the smell of gunpowder produced when firing, these are things that these animals in the mountains fear.

After the dogs ran out, Wang Li frowned and said:

"What's going on? Are there still mountain beasts daring to come over to this place?"

Wang An handed the horse reins to Mu Xueli and then said to the two:

"You two lead the horses and walk slowly first; I'll chase after them to see what's going on."

After speaking, Wang An didn't take down the 56-semi, but took out the big 54 again.

After a quick check, Wang An ran in the direction the dogs had left.

Since it wasn't far, after running for less than 3 minutes, Wang An saw that under that big tree, a very familiar figure was confronting Da Hei and the other dogs.

And this familiar figure was exactly the leopard that Wang An had seen when protecting the green seedlings.

Seeing this leopard, Wang An couldn't help but tighten his expression and subconsciously raised the pistol, but because of the distance, Wang An didn't fire.

Mainly because beyond 50 meters, Wang An really couldn't be sure where the pistol's bullet would fly.

Consequently, Wang An engaged the safety of the pistol and put it in his pocket, shrugged his right shoulder, took the 56-semi in his hand, quickly shouldered the gun, but saw that the leopard had already run away.

It must be said that this leopard thing is really too damn alert, mainly because the speed of this thing is also really too fast, simply not giving you time to react.

Even so, Wang An's finger still pulled the trigger.

After hearing a "bang" of a gunshot, Wang An saw very clearly in the gun's sight that the bullet had kicked up a blood mist at the leopard's left hind leg.

That is to say, this shot of Wang An's had indeed grazed this leopard.

It could be clearly seen that the running leopard's figure paused for a tiny moment.

Although it was only a slight pause, with Wang An's marksmanship, he naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity, so immediately after, Wang An pulled the trigger again.

Unfortunately, the leopard was running forward at this time, which meant its butt and tail were facing Wang An, so this shot of Wang An's was aimed at the leopard's anus.

But because the leopard's speed was too fast, Wang An's lead wasn't calculated well, causing this shot to only hit the side of the leopard's left hind lower leg.

And the most damn thing was that the bullet grazed past again, not hurting the bone at all.

Otherwise, with the power of the 56-semi, it would inevitably have broken the leopard's lower leg bone.

When Wang An wanted to fire a third shot, there was no chance anymore, because the leopard had already burrowed into the woods and disappeared after a few leaps.

Watching the dogs led by Da Hei chase after it, Wang An quickly put his hand into his mouth, and a very loud whistle rang out.

After whistling three times in a row, Da Hei and the other dogs stopped and turned back, jogging toward Wang An.

When the dogs returned to Wang An's side, Da Hei even looked at Wang An with an inquiring gaze, as if saying, "Why didn't you let me chase it? It's not like we can't beat it."

Although Da Hei and the other dogs had the courage to fight the leopard, Wang An had seen how awesome this leopard thing was.

Even Da Hei might not be able to withstand a single move in the leopard's hands.

That's right, the fact is just that cruel; dogs can still fight a lynx for a bit, but they can't even withstand a single move against a leopard.

So Wang An believed that the consequence of the dogs chasing after it would at most be them using themselves as food and delivering it to the leopard.

Because the combat power of dogs and leopards is simply not on the same level.

Wang An stroked Da Hei's dog head and then comforted it, saying:

"You just finished eating meat, you can't run fast, otherwise your stomachs will burst."

In this situation, one must never dampen the dogs' enthusiasm.

Mainly because using dogs to hunt leopards is in itself a very ridiculous thing, not to mention that Da Hei, this dog, can actually understand human speech.

After comforting Da Hei and the other dogs a few more times, Wang An looked in the direction where the leopard had disappeared.

To tell the truth, although neither of the two shots managed to kill the leopard, apart from feeling a little regret, Wang An didn't have many other feelings.

Because Wang An felt that being able to hit it while the leopard was running fast was already a quite awesome thing.
