Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In an instant.
Everyone in Wang Kui’s channel—even Wang Kui himself—held their breaths, their hearts tightening.
Even if he had deduced that he was inside the wolfdog’s area of activity, no one could be a hundred percent sure that the one lured here was that wolfdog.
If the one behind the bushes was actually a real wolf or a giant boar, he would be facing immeasurable danger!
Swish!
The grasses parted, and a pitch-black living object stepped out!
What the hell?!
Even if everyone was mentally prepared for anything to happen, they were still scared half to death by the sight unfolding before them!
The wolfdog with a saddle black-and-red coat the size of an actual adult wolf. Sneakily traversing through the grass, it was breathing gruffly.
As it kept walking, it paused, almost as if it had found something out, and promptly turned its head. Its extremely muscular body was filled with bloody scars, with a single terrifying gash extending through its entire left eye. Beneath it, the pale-white bone socket could faintly be seen, and at the same time, its swollen and bloodshot eyeball flashed with a fearsome glint!
Its sinister teeth were dripping with yellowed saliva, and the audience could even see that there were scarlet meat chunks stuck to it!
[What the hell?! That dog’s chest muscles are larger than my gym trainers!]
[Is that a kangaroo or a wolfdog?!]
[I wouldn’t doubt it if you told me that it killed a whole lot of people!]
[Could it be that a big shot was recently released from prison?]
[Those muscles are so scary! Is that really a dog? You should run, Old Kui!]
***
Everyone watching the stream was scared out of their wits by the wolfdog, and they did not dare to look at it directly even from behind the screen, or even breathe too loudly!
It was just as Wang Kui had put it before—it was an extremely cruel and bloodthirsty killing machine!
No other beast in the mountain could match the savagery that seemed to leak out of its bones!
Wang Kui, who was hiding behind the bushes, stared at the creature in disbelief with bloodshot eyes.
A hybrid Laizhou Hong!
And a perfect hybrid at that!
The wolfdog started moving again then, and this time, it was slowly closing in on the snare.
All the livestream viewers staring at the sight breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how cruel the beast could be, it was an animal and lacking in intelligence, and all it amounted to was meat on a human’s chopping board!
Be that as it may…
Just as it approached the snare, the wolfdog stopped again.
Everyone’s heart, which had relaxed just before, leapt up to their throats again.
Sniff, sniff!
The wolfdog was sniffing…
But it was not sniffing the bait!
Failure!
A fearsome glare flashed in Wang Kui’s eyes. His brain cortex and nerves reacted like lightning as it instantly fired up every muscular cell, and his legs bolted up, his back arching like a bow as he launched his flint spear viciously at the wolfdog’s hip!
He moved fast!
Too fast for anyone to respond!
At the same time, the wolfdog had turned its head, its blood-red eyes reflecting the tip of the pitch-black flint spear getting larger.
“Woof!”
In a split second.
The wolfdog barked once, its rear limbs pushing as it promptly leap aside, but it was too late—Wang Kui’s spear had come too abruptly!
Shank!
The spear tip cut through the rear legs of the wolfdog, the sharp edge adding another gash to its scar-laden body!
“Yip—!”
The wolfdog rolled around twice on the ground, whining as scars, old and new, all split open, splashing blood everywhere on the grass!
His fearsome expression still in his face, Wang Kui’s muscles was in full drive as he sprinted towards the flint spear.
“Woof! Yip!”
No one could have foreseen that with a shrill howl, the wolfdog rubbed its body on the ground before getting up and turning to run!
But that was not all!
The wolfdog kicked on the hook directly, triggering the snare. Without a force holding it down, the tree shot up with a ‘swish’ like a bullet, the 550 cord and the hook snapping a fierce gust into the air!
Crack!
It hit Wang Kui squarely on the chin!
Crash!
The wolfdog seized that moment to run away, crashing through the bushes and disappearing deep into the forest in the blink of an eye.
“F*ck!”
Wang Kui touched his bruised chin, gritting and licking his teeth before inhaling and spitting out some saliva mixed with blood!
[What the hell! Chase it, Old Kui!]
[No Acting Cute gifted streamer Bank Card X3—that was so cool just now! You strike so decisively, Old Kui!]
[Such a shame. You could have waited for it to trigger the trap!]
[CE gifted streamer Airplane X2—Are you letting go of a wolfdog that fierce?]
[Why aren’t you giving chase, streamer?]
***
There was a fierce look on Wang Kui’s face as he rubbed his chin and panted heavily. “It’s not that I won’t chase it, but the top speed of humans is thirty-six kilometers per hour, while the top speed of a dog is at least sixty kilometers per hour. Moreover, it would be more agile in a forest, so there is no way I could catch up without a hunting dog!”
“Also, the worst taboo for experienced hunters is reckless pursuit. Once your target is startled, it would run quicker the more you chase it. In the end, not only would you be easily hurt, you could get lost!”
“It is my fault for underestimating this bounty. In other words, everyone had missed out on the fact that the wolfdog is a purebred specimen of a Laizhou Hong, and a perfect male at that. Everything from its muscles and bone frame shows that this wolfdog’s breeder is a specialist, perhaps even more superior as compared to most of our country’s dog breeders!”
Drawing out the bounty notice from his pocket, he slowly spread it and pointed his camera lens at it.
It was hard to imagine that the black and white picture was an image of that wolfdog from earlier!
Still, from the shape of its skull and ears, it definitely was that wolfdog.
It made sense, however, since a remote corner like the Mount Sigou village would never have any CCTV cameras. In fact, the photo itself might have been an old photo taken by a neighbor from a long time ago by coincidence.
“Furthermore, this wolfdog must have received specialized training as a hunting dog since it was a pup. It has the ability to track its prey, is wary toward baits, and possesses situation judgment that reaches the level of a professional working dog. That also explains why the dog tracks we found along the way were always straight, disciplined, and had a target!”
“That is why I attacked out of the blue. I sensed that it had noticed me, and when I think about it now, the beast would have pounced at me if I did not catch it off-guard instead!”
That large a wolfdog lunging at him?!
Whoa…
That very sight terrified the audience even as they imagined it!
However…
If the dog had been professionally trained, why would Old Kui say that it was a tragedy caused by unruly training before?
***
At the moment, Wang Kui had put his camera on a nearby branch while he retrieved his 550 cord.
He turned and pulled out the flint spear from the ground, which was still caked with black blood from injuring the wolfdog.
Glancing at the live comments, Wang Kui then looked straight at the direction where the wolfdog had disappeared with a fierce glare and said, “That’s right. Since this is a hunting dog trained by a professional hunter, it would not have devoured a human unless it was deliberately trained to kill!”
Unless it was deliberately trained?!
So, it hadn’t been an accident?
It was a premeditated murder!!!
“Yes, that is highly likely. Moreover, most hunters would not easily abandon their hunting dogs… which is why that person might be deep in these mountains!”
Grab!
Holding up the spear with his right hand, Wang Kui held three fingers together and swiped it slowly over the tip of the flint spear. There was a soft scraping sound as he wiped off the blackened blood, which he then held before his forehead, pressed down, and wiped it down unto the bridge of his nose!
The black blood on the three fingers left three blood marks on his face!
“From here on out, this is a hunter’s battle!”
