Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The injured tiger climbed a tree and lay down in a branch about seven or eight meters high, squinting as it repeatedly licked the bleeding wound on its shoulder.

The four hunting dogs couldn't climb trees, so they could only squat under the tree and bark at each other.

At this point, the two eagles tried to swoop down and chase them away several times, but found that the large number of branches made it difficult to move around. So they gave up the risk of getting close and instead folded their wings and landed at the highest point of the treetop, where they rested and cackled.

For the two eagles, today's hunt was not difficult. After all, they were used to good food and drink and had a lot of stamina. They could chase prey for a few hours and then rest for a short while before fully recovering.

Thus, the situation reached a brief stalemate.

An eagle watches from the treetops, while a tiger rests in the trees to recover its strength and lick its wounds.

The four hunting dogs below were also panting heavily, half-lying down to maintain their encirclement, barking occasionally to indicate the direction to their owner behind them.

Fortunately, the woodlands and mountains here are extremely limited, and there are almost no other options for pursuing them in the main direction; otherwise, in such a long-distance hunt, the hunter would have been lost long ago.

After chasing each other until 1 p.m., the four of them slowed down considerably and their lips turned white, but none of them stopped to rest.

The dogs and eagles were just ahead, hunting this dangerous mutated tiger. The dogs could lose their lives at any moment. The sooner the hunters arrived with their guns, the greater the dogs' chances of survival.

The standoff at the scene continued. After resting for about five minutes on the treetop, the large black eagle fluffed up its feathers, flicked its tail, and produced a very healthy black and white mess. Then it flapped its wings and took off, circling the tree a few times before cawing again.

The eagle has regained its strength and is now ready to cause trouble.

The little dog couldn't climb trees, and the injured mutated tiger completely ignored the falcon's provocations, as if it wanted to rest until the end of time.

After chasing the tiger for a few minutes without getting any useful improvement, the big black eagle accepted the fact that its little dog couldn't do anything about the tiger in the tree. After increasing its flight altitude, it called out a few more times and turned to fly towards the hunters who were rushing over in the distance.

Only the master's hunting rifle could handle this big guy, the black eagle thought to itself.

A distance of more than a kilometer is just a blink of an eye for the black eagle. Soon it flew above its hunting master's head, circling and cawing loudly.

Yue Feng stopped by leaning against a tree, then looked up at the black eagle's body language and flight patterns.

"Brother, Big Black Hawk is back!" Xiaowen whispered, his lips turning purple.

Yue Feng nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, Gouzi should have caught that tiger! Big Black Eagle is back to deliver more news!"

Xiao Tao took out the half-full bottle of melted snow water from his bag and shook it in his hand. The temperature was a bit low, and the water was already semi-frozen, similar to a shaved ice.

After a long journey, everyone was exhausted and thirsty. Xiao Tao unscrewed the lid of his water bottle and took a small sip of ice water, his face immediately contorting in pain.

"Wow! This icy snow water is so refreshing! Bro, wanna have a sip?"

Yue Feng didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Tao, took the water bottle, and carefully took a sip.

Yue Feng didn't dare swallow the snow water directly; he just held it in his mouth to relieve the dryness of his lips.

Wait until the temperature rises slightly before swallowing slowly. Instantly, a chill runs from the mouth all the way to the stomach.

"Xiaowen and Xiaowu, do you two want a bite? Hold it in your mouth to warm it up before swallowing! It's a bit too stimulating!" Yue Feng asked.

“Here, have a sip too!” Xiaowen took it, sipped it, and handed the rest to his younger brother Xiaowu.

The four of them each took a sip of the icy, frozen snow water, which helped them recover a little bit.

"Keep going! It shouldn't be far! Put the safety on! Be careful not to hit the dogs or the eagle when you fire!" Yue Feng reminded them, then leaned against a tree trunk and continued chasing forward.

After another half hour of trekking through mountains and rivers, Yue Feng's four-person team finally arrived at the scene where the hunting dogs had surrounded the injured tiger.

More than a hundred meters away, Yue Feng could vaguely see four dogs under a large red pine tree, all unharmed, and his heart finally relaxed.

The dog barked at the tree, and Yue Feng, holding his gun, searched the tree trunk and soon found half of the mutated tiger's body lying on a thick horizontal branch.

Hearing the commotion below, the mutated tiger glanced down at the situation.

The hunter and prey made eye contact, and the tiger's fur stood on end. It struggled to its feet, used the horizontal branch it had been standing on for leverage, and leaped towards the branch on the other side, attempting to escape.

The blood loss was taking its toll on the tiger. It recovered some strength after a short rest, but it wasn't enough to shake off its pursuers.

Weighing several hundred pounds, it nimbly leaped between the branches several times before landing on the trunk of a large tree on the other side, preparing to escape.

As soon as the prey came down, the four dogs immediately swarmed around it.

The mutated tiger turned its head and let out a low-frequency threatening growl. The hunting dogs that had just surrounded it immediately retreated a few meters and barked incessantly.

Yue Feng was now no more than 100 meters away from the target in a straight line, but the varying thickness of the tree trunks in the woods obstructed part of his view, making shooting conditions very limited.

"Don't rush to fire, keep chasing! This tiger seems to be slowing down!" Yue Feng said calmly, putting down his gun.

"Damn it! Don't try to take it from me, I'll kill this bastard with my spear!" Xiao Tao slung his gun over his shoulder, grabbed the spear, and charged forward.

You have to admire him. Xiao Tao's courage is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even though it's an injured tiger, it's still a tiger, but he's not afraid at all.

Yue Feng, gun in hand, immediately followed, taking large strides to close the distance.

Upon landing, the mutated tiger visibly swayed when its left foreleg touched the ground. It struggled to regain its balance and continued running.

As he ran, it was obvious that his left leg could no longer touch the ground. The action of jumping down from the tree had torn open the wound, and drops of blood continued to fall.

The prey was about to run away again, and the Azure Dragon, seeing that its master had caught up, became noticeably more aggressive.

It barked a few times at its second brother, Black Tiger, and its third sister, Leopard, then suddenly increased its speed, circled around them, and caught up from the side.

Black Tiger and Leopard responded to their elder brother's command, moving around to the other side, leaving only the fourth brother, Greedy Wolf, to continue applying pressure from behind.

Don't underestimate this difference in roles. Following someone blindly will only leave you with nothing but exhaust fumes, but a flanking maneuver is a different story.

The mountain forest is winding and twisting, not flat, and has a lot of miscellaneous trees that block the way.

As long as the tiger changes its escape direction, the flanking hounds can close the distance more efficiently than a straight-line chase.

And that was indeed the case. After the four hounds split up to work together, the mutated tiger, which was trying to escape on three legs, was intercepted by the Azure Dragon as it turned a corner.

The Azure Dragon noticed that its prey's left foreleg was injured, and very cunningly accelerated forward, feigning an attack from the left side.

The mutated tiger reacted quickly, instinctively raising its paw to attack. However, its injured left leg slowed its reaction, and by the time it landed, the Azure Dragon had already stopped and retreated to avoid it. Its running speed thus dropped to zero, and during the brief standoff, the other three dogs surrounded it from two other directions.

Four hunting dogs stood in a circle, less than ten meters apart from the mutated tiger, barking wildly at their prey.

More blood gushed from the mutated tiger's gunshot wound. It lowered its head and licked it, panting heavily. It was clear that due to blood loss and the long run, it was at its last gasp.

The Azure Dragon seized the opportunity and charged forward again.

Feign an attack, then stop and retreat, maintaining a distance of at least five or six meters from the prey as a buffer.

The feint attack startled the tiger, and it immediately crouched down on its front legs, preparing to launch an attack.

At this moment, Canglong decisively turned and ran, not daring to take any risks.

With the lead dog setting an example, the other three dogs, the second, third, and fourth, almost followed suit, using various feints to maneuver around their prey.

This tactic proved effective, and within a few rounds, the tiger was firmly contained within a range of about ten meters.

The distance of a few hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye for Yue Feng and Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao, carrying a spear, charged ahead as if he would miss his turn if he ran late.

Yue Feng, on the other hand, remained calm, steadily gripping his gun as he closed the distance while checking the situation ahead.

When they closed to within about fifty meters, Yue Feng was ready to fire.

"Azure Dragon, disperse!!"

Yue Feng shouted at the top of his lungs, propped the gun against the trunk of a small tree for leverage, and then steadily held the gun to his face.

Upon hearing their master's command, the four dogs scattered in all directions. Yue Feng took a deep breath, aimed at the mutated tiger's head, and decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!
With a single shot, the bullet entered the tiger's neck bone, where its head and neck connect. The tiger died instantly and collapsed into the snow, motionless.

The gunshot rang out and the prey fell to the ground. The four Azure Dragon brothers, who had scattered, barked and charged forward again.

The four dogs pounced and began tearing and biting at their prey, but the prey remained motionless, its body slowly becoming stained red with blood.

"Damn! Killed it!" Yue Feng shouted, gripping his gun as he sprinted toward his prey.

Xiao Tao walked up first, chased the dog away, and then used the barrel of his spear to nudge the prey's head.

Shot in the neck, it died instantly. This strangely shaped golden tiger was now completely dead.

"Brother, that shot you just fired was awesome!" Xiao Tao said with a chuckle.

Yue Feng wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and said slowly, "Don't just stand there, lend a hand, use the kettle to catch it, and see if we can get some tiger blood out!"

Tigers are treasures from head to toe, and this mutated breed is even rarer and more hard to come by. Yue Feng has no intention of letting go of any valuable spoils.

After hearing this, Xiao Tao took out his water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and started to pour out the water. However, the icy snow water had already frozen after they had shared it, and not a drop of snow water came out.

"We can't pour out the snow water, let's just collect it like this!" Xiao Tao asked.

"Catch! I'll help you lift the hind legs!" Yue Feng called out, deftly lifting the hind legs and using his strength to slowly lift the prey.

As his body position changed, warm tiger blood trickled from the wound on his vital spot. Xiao Tao used a water bottle to catch it, and before he knew it, the bottle was full.

Very little blood flowed out after that, so Yue Feng simply gave up the idea of ​​continuing to collect blood.

Only then did everyone have the time to carefully examine this top prey, which was completely different from ordinary Siberian tigers.

This mutated tiger matches all the characteristics of the tiger Yue Feng heard his master talk about.

Its pure golden fur is like brocade, with an excellent texture.

It has a large, mottled face similar to that of an ordinary tiger, and looks quite majestic. However, judging from the circumference of its head, it is one size smaller than that of a large male tiger.

Besides, the most obvious feature is the length of its limbs, which is much longer than that of an average adult tiger.

Yue Feng reached out and touched his forelimbs and hind legs. The muscles were extremely firm, and they felt as if they were not chunks of flesh, but rather a warm, hard piece of metal.

After observing the size of the prey for a while, Yue Feng finally looked towards its lower body.

Upon seeing the crucial parts, Yue Feng shook his head in disappointment.

There's no whip or bell; this is a female!
"Brother! Don't look, she's a tigress, she doesn't have any chicks!" Xiao Tao grinned and muttered.

Yue Feng pursed his lips, bent down, grabbed a handful of snowflakes, and rubbed the blood off his hands: "Don't just stand there, cut open the cavity, take out all the internal organs and let them air dry!"

"Should we continue peeling the skin or go back and discuss it later?" Xiao Tao pulled out his skinning knife, eager to try.

Yue Feng hesitated for a second, then shook his head: "Let's clean out the internal organs first, then we'll talk about it! I'll think about it!"

Xiaowen then understood Yuefeng's hesitation and leaned closer with a smile, saying, "Brother, this is deep in the mountains, and it's just us brothers, no outsiders! This tiger is clearly a mutated, special individual! Otherwise, we..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning had already been conveyed.

This rare creature might be even more valuable than a mutated black tiger. Now that they've finally managed to kill it, simply taking it back to report it would clearly not be in line with the hunting team's goal of maximizing their profits.

The best course of action is to keep the entire matter confidential, or to handle the aftermath reasonably within a very small circle of people who are aware of it.

Yue Feng hesitated about whether to peel off the skin now, precisely because of this consideration.

If we were to report this, we definitely couldn't peel back the layers. If we did, it wouldn't have the 'appearance' that's presented in official reports.

Yue Feng nodded after listening to Xiao Wen's words, then looked at Xiao Wu and Xiao Tao: "What about you two brothers? What are your thoughts?"

Xiaowu glanced at his older brother and said, "I think it's better for us to stay! If we report it to Uncle Du, at most we'll get a reward and some verbal commendation!"

Such rare prey, Young Master Ye definitely needs it!
Rather than letting those officials pocket it, and it end up disappearing after going through many twists and turns, it's better for us to secretly collect it and make a fortune! (End of Chapter)
