Chapter 454

Several dogs sniffed at the series of footprints, and seeing Lu Lu and Liu Hao walking towards the forest following the footprints left by the fox, Yuan Bao immediately knew that Lu Lu and the others were following the fox.

It trotted forward immediately, looked up vigilantly ahead from time to time, then looked back at Lu Lu who was following behind, and waited for the two to get closer before continuing to explore.

The fur color of foxes is destined to be very conspicuous in this black and white forest, which is also destined to be easy prey to be tracked.

However, after more than ten minutes, Yuan Bao sounded a reminder.

Lu Lu walked up to Yuan Bao, rubbed its head lightly, then raised the gun, and continued to walk in the direction indicated by Yuan Bao, scanning the surroundings carefully while walking.

Foxes are also very vigilant animals, Lu Lu didn't want to be discovered by it first, and then run away. In that case, Yuan Bao and the others would have to chase and chase them away, wasting time.

After walking for more than 200 meters, I reached halfway up the hillside. I have never seen a fox. Instead, I saw more and more fox footprints on the ground, which became messy. There were also a lot of scattered feces around.

Lu Lu looked around, his eyes fixed on the underside of a bush in the forest.

He went straight to the bushes and took a look. It was a badger hole, and there were dense fox footprints on the snow at the entrance of the hole.Right at the mouth of the cave, there was a layer of frost.

"This is the fox den, it should be inside now, and, by the looks of it, there are quite a few of them."

Seeing the situation at the entrance of the cave, Lu Lu immediately laughed.

Red foxes usually gather in groups in a nest from December to March, during the estrus period.

It is only at this stage that they live together. Usually, one female and several males. After this period, the rearing of offspring is completed, and the paired female and male take care of the cubs until the cubs can be independent, and then begin to live alone and move around. To wander is to live in one place temporarily for a period of time.

Their burrows are also very simple. They like to find rabbit holes and badger holes for expansion and living. When they choose badger holes, there are even badgers living in them.Of course, they often live in tree holes, stone holes, and even graves. It is probably because of this reason that foxes are rumored to be evil.

Liu Hao also squatted by the entrance of the cave and looked at it for a while, then nodded: "Maybe there are badgers inside!"

It can be heard that Liu Hao also knows the habits of red foxes.

"There are indeed badgers. I kicked out the excrement of badgers on the snow. They are badgers. They are hibernating in the cave now... It's a bit troublesome, I didn't bring digging tools! Look around, there are at least two badgers in the badger cave." There are even more exits... we can't let them escape through other openings!"

As Lu Lu spoke, he turned around.

Yuan Bao and a few puppies also whined ferociously towards the entrance of the cave, or barked wildly, and then sniffed around. This time, it was Heizui who barked from a sheltered place under a bush a few meters away.

Lu Lu walked over to have a look, and found that the snow on the roots and feet of the tree had melted, revealing a bowl-sized hole, but most of it was covered by snow, and a thin layer of frost could be seen on the inner wall of the hole. He immediately determined that this was the second exit.

The third exit was discovered by Liu Hao. He accidentally stepped on the air. The entrance of the cave was blocked by some dead branches and covered with snow, so it was quite hidden.

The entrance of the cave was quickly cleared by Liu Hao, and he also saw thin frost on the soil wall of the cave inside, so he was sure that this was the third exit.

Next, the two of them and a few dogs expanded the range, and no other holes were found.

"It seems that there are only three holes. Let Yuanbao bite from the main hole. I will guard one with you and see if we can scare them out."

Liu Hao didn't expect that following the footprints of a red fox, he would find a cave where foxes and badgers lived together.

Both foxes and badgers are valuable.

Take this lair, and the harvest is not even worse than hunting a blind bear.

"Okay, let's do this, if it doesn't come out, use smoke!"

Without digging tools, I can only use this earth method. Moreover, even if it is digging, judging from the distribution of these three exits, the area to be dug is not small, and it will take a lot of effort, but it is also enough to show that the people living inside There will be no shortage of badgers.

"Ingots!"

Lu Lu returned to the entrance of the main cave and shouted at Yuan Bao, who immediately ran over.

Several puppies are still searching around.

"吜吜..." Lu Lu issued an order.

Yuan Bao immediately jumped down from the entrance of the badger's hole, barked wildly, and stretched his head in. His front paws also began to scrape the dirt at the hole's entrance, trying to get his head into a deeper position.

Hearing Yuan Bao's barking, the other puppies also surrounded him and barked wildly.

Lu Lu returned to the second entrance, while Liu Hao guarded the third exit. Both of them held guns, ready to shoot any badgers or foxes sticking out of them.

It's just that Yuan Bao and the others have been busy at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and the animals hidden inside have been shrinking and refusing to come out.

"It's not an option to go on like this, let's smoke!"

Seeing that there was no chance, Lu Lu made a decisive decision: "The fox lives in the badger's cave. It can't live as deep as the badger. It should just enter the main cave. Let's light the fire from these two exits, and let them go from the main cave. The hole is forced out."

"Okay!" Liu Hao responded, and then turned around to look for dry birch bark to light the fire.

Lu Lu ran to the foot of a red pine tree, pulled away the snow layer, and pulled out a lot of pine needles mixed with snow. This thing is flammable, but after the contaminated snow is melted and becomes damp, it will be thick smoke Rolling away.

The two holes were quickly lit with burning pine needles and burned on the ground, so the smoke would not enter.

So both of them lit the pine needles, stuffed the hole deeper with a stick, and then directly rolled a snowball to block the hole to prevent the flame from escaping.

This burning will inevitably consume the air inside, and the fire smoke can only diffuse inside.

This effect came all at once.

It didn't take long before the main entrance began to be filled with fire smoke, and the snoring of foxes and dog-like barking could be faintly heard from inside.

Yuan Bao and the others were smoked by the fire, so they could only retreat to the side, barking at the entrance of the cave continuously.

Seeing that the fox couldn't stand it inside, Liu Hao went directly to the entrance of the cave with a gun to guard.

Lu Lu reopened the two ignition holes and stuffed some pine needles inside to make the smoke even bigger.

Now, the foxes inside couldn't take it anymore. One of them poked its head out of the cave, and Liu Hao decisively shot and killed it.

When the dogs heard the gunshots, they immediately rushed towards the entrance of the cave. They wanted to open their mouths to bite, but they were smoked by the thicker fire smoke and jumped aside again.

The pungent smell of fire and smoke is really enough for Yuan Bao and the others.On the one hand, he wanted to help, but on the other hand, he couldn't bear the smoke, so he could only bark at the side, running around in a hurry.

Liu Hao looked towards the entrance of the cave, reached out his hand quickly, and dragged out the fox that had been shot dead by him in the head.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, several foxes sprang out of the cave and fled in all directions.

Yuan Bao and the others who have been waiting by the side, how could they miss this opportunity and chase after them immediately.

Yuan Bao reacted quickly, caught one at the first time, bit it on the neck, and pressed it into the snow.

The leopard also performed amazingly, and was successfully bitten by it, and it caught its hind legs.The fox screamed sharply, turned around and bit the leopard, and was bitten by the blue wolf on the head.

As for the other three, they were caught off guard and successfully escaped from the encirclement of the puppies.The rest of the dogs chased them out immediately.

The black tiger was chasing one, the white dragon and Heizui were chasing the other one, as for the third one, there was no dog chasing it, and it fled across the snow.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hao decisively threw the fox in his hand, raised his gun and shot.

He reacted very quickly. When Lu Lu just picked up the gun, he had already fired, killing the red fox that ran seven or eight meters away.

Lu Lu had to admire the precision and reaction speed of this marksmanship.

But the two foxes who were being chased by the dogs couldn't run away, so in panic, they slid a few times and jumped up the tree with incomparable agility.

You heard that right, foxes can climb trees.

However, climbing a tree at such a time means waiting to be shot.

With a single shot, Lu Lu knocked down the fox that was chased by Bailong and Heizui to the tree branch, and the fox that was chased by Heihu was shot down by Liu Hao.

All of a sudden, the six foxes were eliminated, but it took only two or three breaths.

At this moment, a foul smell spread through the woods.

And the source is the two foxes bitten by Yuan Bao and the leopard blue wolf.

Foxes have scent glands in their buttocks. When their lives are in danger, releasing the smell to escape is one of their ways to save their lives.

The smell released by the fox is worse than that of the yellow skin, and it is worthy of being called the fox.

Fortunately, the two who were a little further apart could bear it.

What Yuan Bao bit was only at the neck, but he managed to avoid the stinky fart released by the fox. When the smell spread, it ran a few steps aside with its mouth in its mouth. The cervical spine is also a deadly position. The fox now only has The next twitch points.

The white dragon biting another fox's hind foot didn't feel so good. He couldn't bear the smoke, so he could only let go and run away, shaking his head. The fox's head was still bitten by the blue wolf. With the bite force of the blue wolf, the teeth Its head has already been pierced, this fox is limp, and it is not far from death.

There are six foxes, five of which are fire foxes, and one is a silver fox.

The silver fox is not completely white, but a fox with black fur and white guard hair, which looks like silver from a distance.

A red fox only weighs more than ten kilograms, which is too small in front of a big stupid dog.

Lu Lu took a deep breath, walked to the badger's cave and looked at it. It looked like the fox living in the badger's cave came out all of a sudden.He took a few foxes back and threw them aside on the snow to pile them up.

"Brother, stay far away, wait for these smells to dissipate, and don't smell too much!"

Lu Lu said to Liu Hao who was still holding a gun and staring at the entrance of the Badger Cave: "If you hear too much, you will be enchanted by evil spirits!"

"Bewitched?"

According to Liu Hao's words, he and Lu Lu stayed away from the side, both of them were still staring at the Badger Cave, but hearing Lu Lu's words were mysterious, he couldn't help but said: "I don't believe this!"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not!"

Lu Lu said with a smile: "The smell released by the fox is more powerful than that of the yellow skin, but even the smell of the yellow skin is enough to paralyze and disturb the brain of a person with poor physique, causing hallucinations and making people feel confused. , the so-called bewitched, it really has an impact. This is also the reason why there are always stories like foxes and yellow-skinned people seducing people in Liaozhai, but the ancients don't know the reason, they just understand it as bewitched... These smells are poisonous, I have heard a lot It's not good!"

Lu Lu once accidentally read a report in which experts from the Institute of Specialty Animals mentioned that the stench released by weasels and foxes can cause hallucinations, but it seems that it is not widely known.

In short, you can't go wrong with avoiding it.
