Chapter 1 Bear Hunting (Remastered) (Remastered)
Autumn weather in the Andes is variable.
An hour ago, it was raining heavily, but now the sun is shining brightly.
"The ambush location was flawed. Although rainfall was considered, accidents caused by excessive rainfall were ignored. If the landslide had moved a few meters further, the ambush would have been completely ruined."
Sean summed up the gains and losses while moving his hands and feet that were numb from holding one movement for a long time.
If you hadn't known it in advance, you wouldn't have known from the outside that the person lying here was a living person.
Even when he moves, the branches appear to be shaking normally. Based on this, Sean's field camouflage skills have reached a certain level.
"Coming."
Sean's eyes narrowed involuntarily and his body lowered.
He knew in his heart that this was just a kind of subconscious self-consolation. No matter whether he did this subtle action or not, the result would be the same.
The swaying of bushes and weeds, the sound of branches breaking, and the sound of heavy footsteps are clearly audible.
A huge creature emerged from the forest with a unique lazy pace.
This is a bear, a man and a half tall at the shoulders, and longer than an adult Andis giant bear.
This behemoth, like a prehistoric monster, has a caution that belies its size. The first thing he did when he came out of the forest was to sniff at the wind. A trace of vigilance flashed in his small but energetic eyes, as if he had sensed something.
appearance.
"You can obviously rely on strength to eat, but you come out to act cute. If it weren't for the excessive appetite, I really want to catch one and raise it as a hunting dog."
Sean groaned in his heart, firmly restraining his body instincts and not moving at all. He was now at a disadvantage, and his whole body was smeared with a special potion. Even if the Andis Giant Bear had a nose that was several times sharper than a hunting dog, it would be impossible for him to really detect anything.
Although the previous heavy rain almost ruined their plan, it also washed away the last trace that Sean and the others could expose. Now it is just the cunning nature of this giant bear, a unique temptation of the beast.
Sure enough, Andis Giant Bear only lingered for a short while, and then slowly walked towards the rushing stream again. Halfway there, he stopped again, stood up, and looked towards the mountain ridge to the east.
"Not good." Sean yelled secretly and released the bow string without hesitation. That was where his hound group and friends were hiding.
Buzz!
Before the sound of the string ended, a thick and long sharp arrow appeared in front of Andis Giant Bear.
Snap!
The giant Andis bear swung its huge palm with agility that was inconsistent with its huge size, and directly knocked away this thick and scary long arrow.
roar!
Andis Giant Bear roared and made the first reaction of a giant bear - rushing towards the opponent.
One pig, two oxen and three bears.
For Andis mountain people, these are the three most dangerous creatures in the Andes Mountains. As for giant tigers, mountain leopards, and forest wolves, hunters must stay back.
It’s not that the killing methods of these three creatures are better than those of hunters, but that the spiritual aspects of these three creatures are worrying. In layman’s terms, they lack IQ. When hunters encounter mountain people, they will stay away unless forced to do so.
open.
The above three masters are different. The first reaction when frightened or encountered danger is to rush forward. The first two are because the tusks and horns are long in the front, making it difficult to turn due to their bulky bodies. The latter is because of their huge size and size.
Have absolute confidence in combat effectiveness.
When a behemoth weighing two thousand kilograms ran wildly at a speed of eighty kilometers per hour, the momentum was absolutely astonishing. The entire valley seemed to tremble under its feet, and tree trunks as thick as an adult's arm were like paper in front of it.
After the first arrow came out, Sean climbed up from his hiding place, jumped onto the rock not far away, took a standard open lunge, and plucked the bow string with his right hand like a piano, and the arrows poured out.
He shot out one arrow after another, and in just twenty seconds, eight arrows were shot.
The exposed young hunter has black hair, brown eyes, slightly reddish-copper skin, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and a face that looks like that of a pure Andis mountaineer. Although he has the stature of an adult, his jaw has not yet fully grown.
The beard betrayed his true age, at least he was not old enough for Andis mountain people to hold coming-of-age ceremonies.
As the giant Andis bear approaches, Sean's bow arc is also undergoing subtle changes.
From the full moon at the beginning of the bow opening to the half moon at the end, due to this subtle change, the bow opening speed naturally changes accordingly.
The firing speed of the last arrow is more than double the firing speed of the first arrow, and all of this is completed in one breath.
Sean's breathing was very distinctive at this moment.
When you inhale, do it quickly and urgently, as if you want to take out all the air around you.
When exhaling, it is slow, almost imperceptible, and continuous for more than ten seconds, seeming to squeeze out the last trace of air in the lungs.
All bow opening is concentrated in the exhalation stage. At this time, the chest rises and falls the least, and the hands are naturally the most stable.
In other words, after shooting the first arrow, he was inhaling until he positioned himself on the rock and started to exhale again when he opened the bow and shot again.
The whole process was smooth and smooth, without any delay or superfluous movement. Everything seemed to have been rehearsed countless times. When it reaches this level, the beauty naturally emerges - the beauty of the coordination of strength and speed.
In terms of bow speed alone, Sean's archery skills can only be considered above average. Any retinue-level archer who has undergone three years of military training can achieve this speed.
Some fast archers who pursue the ultimate can even achieve a pot of 24 arrows in 40 seconds. However, as a result, the bow distance is not satisfactory and can only barely reach one arrow distance (100 meters).
The accuracy is just mediocre. Hitting the target depends entirely on luck. What you are pursuing is the ultimate arrow speed.
If you consider that the initial straight-line distance between Sean and Andis Bear was more than two hundred meters, and each arrow was aimed at the fatal vital point of the running Andis Bear, this archery skill is a bit miraculous.
In addition to the hard indicators such as the strength of the bow and the power to draw the bow, the arrow weight, wind speed, and even breathing need to be accurately controlled. In addition to more than ten years of hard training, these experiences also require outstanding personal talent.
Under Sean's superb archery skills, Andis's giant bear's performance is also amazing. With agility and flexibility that is inconsistent with its huge body, it can dodge, pounce or shoot. It is really inevitable to avoid it, and it will also let the vital points pass.
, using its thick back to withstand attacks.
For a behemoth with several inches of thick skin and half a foot of fat, such an attack only makes it feel a moderate sting. This level of sting not only does not make it flinch, but in fact arouses its ferocity.
sex.
It took eight seconds to cross the stream, seven seconds to get around the boulder blocking the road, six seconds to climb the 20-meter slope, and only 21 seconds to reach Sean 20 meters away.
This is a very dangerous distance.
Ten to fifteen meters is the optimal bursting distance of the Andis giant bear. With just one lunge, it will appear directly in front of its prey, and its speed at this time will instantly exceed 120 kilometers per hour.
The giant Andis bear does not need to use additional strength. The impact caused by its speed and weight is the most terrifying attack, which is enough to kill a four-horned high-backed mountain cow that is 20% heavier than it.
Sean had watched the Andis giant bear hunt more than once, so he naturally knew the terror of the opponent's killer weapon. The second before it made a power-charging action, he ended his second breath of inhalation, tapped his toes on the ground, and jumped back.
.
He stepped heavily on the carefully prepared lever, and the huge rock he had just stood on lost his balance, and slowly and unstoppably hit the Andis giant bear that was charging up.
This boulder trap was obviously specially prepared for this giant Andis bear.
The size of the boulder is just right, not only threatening the Andis Giant Bear, but also allowing Sean to launch it on his own.
The edges and corners on the boulder have been polished almost to reduce the resistance during the rolling process.
The smooth 60-degree slope with grooves not only ensures the direction in which the boulder rolls down, but also allows it to accumulate enough kinetic energy in the shortest time.
There are large patches of rocks and thorns on both sides of the boulder trap. The artificially cleared trap slope has become the best uphill point for Andis giant bears. Even the length of the slope is carefully designed, just enough for it to dive.
.
This feeling is like being on the court and a ball rolls right in front of your feet. If you don't follow the trend, it will be uncomfortable to kick it.
From the beginning, Sean did not expect to shoot the Andis giant bear directly.
The first arrow was just to lure the enemy. The remaining arrows, in addition to further irritating the Andis giant bear, were mainly used to correct and guide the giant beast into the carefully prepared boulder trap at the best angle.
Although this kind of trap that makes full use of the animal's hunting experience and instinct cannot be said to be invincible, the success rate is as high as over 60%. At least this Andis giant bear is within this 60% range.
The timing of Sean's launch of the boulder trap was also precisely calculated. The place where the two met was just above the middle of the slope of the trap.
At this time, the boulder that has already turned over half of its somersault has a certain impact, and the giant Andis bear is in the falling stage of pounce, which is often said that the old strength has been exhausted, and when the new strength is not yet generated, most of the body
It's hard to find a point of leverage when it's already in the air. Its bulky body means that no matter how agile it is, it won't be able to turn as flexibly in the air as a cat.
roar!
The reason why bear nature can form a separate word is because these bears have unique personalities and physiological reactions when facing danger.
As a standard ursine creature, Andis Giant Bear has the most typical bear character. When faced with a boulder that is not too small than itself, it has no intention of avoiding it. It swung its right paw and slapped it.
.
Bang!
Stone chips were flying.
The rolling boulder not only stopped rolling down, but even rebounded. Although this rebound was measured in millimeters, it still showed how terrifying the impact of Andis' giant bear was when it pounced.
After all, the slope is too short, the acceleration of the boulder has not accumulated to a certain extent, and the impact force is limited.
