Chapter 520 Calming the Violent Spirit (Part 2)

Hearing the command from the beast speaker, Xiaobai stretched out his arms and groped behind his back, but he dared not move his torso.

He stared at the wolves approaching the hillside, fearing that he would disturb them.

"[Hed] Don't be afraid." Bell calmly reminded: "[Hed] The wolves don't see you."

After receiving the instructions from the beast speaker, Xiaobai became a little bolder. He leaned over and crawled in front of the beast speaker, lying on the hillside and slowly unfolded the bipod, slowly inserted it into the soil, and held it with his hands.

Bell's hunting rifle "bracket" was specially made for shooting on slopes.

The matchlock guns commonly used in the army are difficult to hold steady without the support of the iron fork. The hunting rifle that Winters and Anna gave to Bell is longer than the military matchlock gun.

Although the weight has been reduced as much as possible, it is almost impossible to shoot accurately with just a pair of arms without support.

The Great Wasteland is full of undulating and rolling hillsides, and only grass grows.

Unlike in the forest, you can find a tree branch to support the gun. Shooting down from the grass slope, nine out of ten times you can't find anything to hold the gun.

Shooting in a prone position, the field of vision is too limited.

So the little hunter specially asked someone to make a portable stand. Unlike the ordinary iron fork stand, his stand has two legs that can be opened and closed, and it is made of wood, which is more stable and lighter.

Bell took the shotgun from his knees and gently placed it on the stand, his shoulder firmly against the butt, and his finger on the trigger.

He felt the breath of the wilderness, measured the distance between himself and the target with his eyes, determined the wind direction and wind force according to the ups and downs of the grass waves, and the shotgun in his hand gradually became a part of his body. He had imagined where the lead bullet would fall, and he waited patiently, waiting for the wolves to get closer and closer.

The wolves in the field of vision became clearer and clearer, and you could almost see the dew condensed on their fluffy hair.

Dabai and Xiaobai didn't even dare to breathe. They felt that time had become extremely long. They didn't dare to make any movements. They were afraid of disturbing the beast spirit speaker and scaring the prey. They could only pray to the sky silently in their hearts.

It wasn't until the wolves walked up the hillside, until the distance between the two sides was only two hundred steps away, and until the leading giant wolf suddenly stopped, that Bell Ralphnovich Platov pulled the trigger steadily.

The lead bullet shot into the giant wolf's eyes, shattering the base of the skull and cervical vertebrae all the way, and finally flew out from the top of the spine with flesh and blood.

The giant wolf shuddered, fell down, and stopped moving immediately.

The other adult wolf and the remaining two sub-adult wolves in the wolf pack immediately turned their heads and fled in the direction they came from.

The grassland at dawn was also awakened by the thunder-like gunshots, and a large number of flying birds were startled in the woods in the distance.

"Has [Herd] been hit?" Xiaobai, who was lying on the ground holding the stand, could not see anything, and asked anxiously: "Has [Herd] been hit?"

"[Herd] shotgun." Bell neatly put away the shotgun and put it beside him, while reaching out to Dabai.

"[Herd] was hit! Don't move!" Dabai answered his brother while offering the spare shotgun to the beast spirit speaker. The three of them brought three guns in total, all loaded with ammunition in advance, ready to shoot at any time.

Xiaobai, who was waiting anxiously, was ecstatic when he heard that the gray-haired beast that had harmed at least four lambs was killed. He couldn't help but "Hi" and clapped his hands on the ground.

However, as soon as his hand left the foot of the gun stand, the gun stand immediately fell down the hillside. Xiaobai was unable to react and wanted to remedy it, but it was too late. The foot on the other side also broke out of his hand, and the gun stand that was out of his hand rolled down the hillside and slid to a place more than ten meters away.

Dabai was stunned, but Bell, who took the spare shotgun, did not hesitate. He changed his sitting position to sideways, used his knees to support his arms to hold the shotgun, and aimed at the fleeing wolves.

Xiaobai knew he had made a mistake and wanted to remedy it immediately, but he knew it was too late when he saw the position of the gun rack.

He gritted his teeth, climbed up, knelt on one knee facing the beast spirit speaker, and supported the gun with his right shoulder.

Bell and Xiaobai looked at each other briefly.

Bell, who was not surprised that Xiaobai lost the gun rack, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise at this moment.

Xiaobai held the barrel of the gun with both hands, grinning and waiting for the loud noise that would definitely make him dizzy and tinnitus.

"[Hedd] Don't move." Bell said softly.

Then he pulled the trigger.

Another thunderous gunshot, and the adult wolf running in the front of the wolf pack running towards the woods suddenly stumbled.

The bullet hit its hindquarters, and the impact and severe pain made it sway in place before falling down. It lay on the ground, rolling in pain and wailing.

Dabai immediately handed over the third shotgun and patted his brother on the back. Little White looked at his brother and nodded, lowered his head to get out of sight, waiting for the third shot.

However, Bell, who had already aimed at the target, did not pull the trigger in the end, and watched the two sub-adult wolves flee into the forest without looking back.

Dabai and Little White were both puzzled.

Bell raised the muzzle of the gun and fired the third shot at the open space, then handed the shotgun back to Dabai.

"[Herd] The wolves now are all male and female with some cubs. Kill the big ones, and the small ones will not dare to come again," Bell said, "[Herd] Go and get the horse."

Little White got up and ran to the back of the hillside. It took a long time before he got the horse over - in order to prevent being discovered by the wolves, they hid the horse far away.

The three put away their hunting rifles, rode their horses, and galloped down the hillside, first arriving at the giant wolf's corpse.

Dabai and Xiaobai turned over and dismounted, exclaiming: "[Hede] What a big gray-haired beast!"

The two of them grabbed the giant wolf's head and touched it to their foreheads three times.

Then Dabai took out his knife, cut off the giant wolf's tongue, and handed it respectfully to the beast spirit speaker, because the Hede people had the custom of collecting the tongues of the beasts they killed and drying them to make amulets.

"[Hede] What an extraordinary creature." Dabai tried to say something auspicious: "[Hede] will definitely make an amazing amulet."

Bell shook his head with little interest: "[Hede] You keep it."

"[Hede] It's only useful if you kill it yourself."

"[Hede] This wolf was killed by you and me together."

Dabai thought about it and put the tongue back into the giant wolf's mouth without any reluctance. He and his brother carried the giant wolf's body onto their horses, and then walked to where the second wolf fell.

Unexpectedly, the second wolf, which was hit in the waist, was not dead. It lay in its own blood with its eyes open, twitching slightly.

Dabai looked at the beast spirit speaker.

Bell nodded.

Dabai stepped forward with a knife and ended the wolf's pain.

This time, Dabai and his brother worked together to put the wolf's body on Xiaobai's horse, and turned to ask: "Will [Hede] go hunting tomorrow?"

Bell looked at the vast wasteland in the morning light: "[Hede] cease fire, for now."

[West Bank of Shovel Lake]

[Old Camp of Wenduoer Tribe]

The news that the beast spirit speaker had returned victorious spread throughout the camp in an instant, and almost all men, women, and children came out to greet him.

The children were playing and running around behind the horses carrying the wolf corpses;

The women covered their noses with their sleeves to block the stench of the wolf corpses, and looked at the teeth in the wolf's mouth with curiosity and fear;

The men who came back from outside the camp after hearing the news admired the size of the giant wolf and showed a relieved look - these gray-haired beasts have disturbed the grazing land in the past few days. The camp had to assign more children to look after the livestock at night. Now, they can finally have a good sleep.

The old people pressed their chests and bowed to the beast spirit speaker.

Xiaobai rode in the middle of the crowd, feeling honored and unconsciously straightened his chest.

Dabai's expression also carried a hint of pride.

Although they did not pull the trigger to shoot the evil wolf, the two wolf corpses were undoubtedly the final result of their hard work in searching for the wolf pack during this period of time.

And Bell just nodded to the old people in return, with a calm expression.

Until he found that behind the crowd, Pierre was looking at him with a smile.
