Chapter 377 Two Bears, One Male and One Female
The flash of the Seagull camera went off, and the two men finally saw what the big guy really looked like.
A fully grown male bear, standing approximately 1.8 meters tall, was bleeding profusely from bullets piercing its heart, lungs, and shoulder. Its right paw was caught in a large trap, its ankle locked, and it struggled frantically. The trap was further secured by chains, fastened to a large bluestone slab. The heavy bluestone slab, like a solid wooden weight in the bear trap, required immense effort for the bear to drag it away with each step; it weighed approximately 80 kilograms.
Normally, a bear can easily drag away something weighing 80 pounds. A bear whose paw has been caught, already seriously injured, is more dangerous and its strength is also much greater than usual.
Originally, Li Ju'an placed the large trap on the west side of the jujube tree, close to the rocky pond. But now, the bluestone slab that was dragged away was pulled up from the ground along with the mud and dragged to the center of the rocky beach, also called the blind pond, where the stones are scattered and disorderly.
Chen Xiangqian gaped in astonishment, a chill running down his spine as he shivered, his scalp tingling. He hadn't seen the shadowy figure clearly before, but now he truly saw a massive male bear, standing tall and facing him. This was a tremendous shock; his hair stood on end, and he almost dropped his Seagull brand camera.
Li Ju'an's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, his piercing gaze fixed on the adult male bear. Taking advantage of the flashlight illuminating the ditch, he aimed his gun forward, held it to his face, and pulled the trigger as soon as he saw the bear's head.
Sparks flew from the muzzle of the shotgun. After firing, he didn't look at the result, but quickly bent the butt down with his right hand, closed the gun, aimed at the bear's head, and fired again.
The bullet pierced through the Gobi bear's shoulder, enraging it and causing it to howl and thrash about, making it difficult for the hunter to aim.
Seeing that the flash had stopped, Li Ju'an shouted to Chen Xiangqian, "Press it again!"
Chen Xiangqian's anus tightened, and he nervously obeyed, pressing the shutter again. The flash pierced the darkness, and Li Ju'an, with his gun at his face, took advantage of the light and fired another shot at the heart and lungs of the Gobi bear.
boom!boom!
The intense firing of the gun was rhythmic. He didn't look to see if the Gobi Bear had fallen; he just kept moving his hands, snapping open the gun handle and firing again.
Chen Xiangqian's hand ached from pressing the shutter button so many times.
Five or six shots were fired, and the adult Gobi bear fell down with a thud.
Li Ju'an didn't dare to rush forward. He knew that bears were extremely cunning and could play dead convincingly.
He climbed over the windowsill, jumped out of the window, called to Chen Xiangqian, and went over to the edge of the ditch.
Chen Xiangqian excitedly jumped out and hurriedly shouted, "We just happened to bring a camera, let's take a glorious picture of this beast while we can!"
He took two steps at a time and was about to run forward, thinking of running up to the Gobi bear and taking a close-up photo of its face, but Li Ju'an stretched out his arm to stop him.
Li Ju'an said, "What's the rush? Don't go over there."
Chen Xiangqian wasn't flustered at all. He grinned and even had the mind to tease, saying, "Brother Li, you're a coward. The bear has already fallen down, what are we afraid of? Even dogs are timid."
He lifted his foot and lightly kicked Bai Danzi's butt, which angered Bai Danzi so much that he turned his head and bit him.
Chen Xiangqian hopped around for a while, groaning, then grinned and said, "Dogs are so intelligent, they even know not to bite too hard. The little girl's bite didn't hurt me at all."
White Egg charged at the Gobi bear and barked, its nimble body occasionally attempting to turn and run away.
When White Egg barked a second time, the bear that was dead on the ground swung its arm and slammed its huge paw down on the hunting dog's head.
If such a bear paw were to strike solidly, it could weigh up to 100 kilograms, enough to rupture the internal organs of a hunting dog. If it were then thrust down into the dog's groin, the dog would have its spine broken and its intestines ruptured, leaving it with no chance of survival.
The sudden turn of events startled Chen Xiangqian, who was pressing the shutter button, so much so that he forgot to press it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Ju'an fired another shot at the Gobi bear's head.
Bang! A deafening explosion followed, and the bear's skull was pierced, blood mist escaping from it. The massive Gobi bear then collapsed with a thud, like a small mountain, finally dead.
Chen Xiangqian had never witnessed such a terrifying turn of events. His chest heaved violently with tension, and he gasped for breath. Thank goodness Li Ju'an had shouted; otherwise, he would have been in serious trouble. That enormous bear paw could have slapped him across the face and shattered his skull.
Chen Xiangqian was secretly alarmed, his heart pounding so hard he could hear it himself. He shouted, "Li Pao, it has to be you again."
Li Ju'an told him to press the shutter. He stepped forward and, taking advantage of the light, shot the Gobi bear in the skull. Only after blood gushed out did he feel at ease, his nerves relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
He cursed, "Isn't it because they're terrified of being harassed by bears?"
Last year, while hunting bears in the bear market, he encountered countless bears faking their deaths. Their acting skills when playing dead are award-winning; they can even outperform movie actors.
He was still shaken. After inspecting the Gobi bear, he praised the hunting dog and said, "White Egg, well done! I'll have to get Chen Xiangqian to call you 'Big Brother' from now on."
White Egg isn't a girl, it's a handsome male dog.
White Egg wagged its tail happily and actually sat down in front of Chen Xiangqian, as if asking for the title of "Big Brother".
Chen Xiangqian laughed heartily, rubbed the dog's head, and said, "Good dog, Brother Li, the dogs under your command are all incredibly intelligent. They know how to tease me into biting, and they even know how to circle around in front of the bear for me and take the hits for me."
"Of course! When you're out and about, even your dog has to take care of you."
Chen Xiangqian grinned shamelessly.
The Gobi bear was very heavy. Since the two of them didn't have a light, they couldn't dissect it tonight. They could only do this dirty and tiring work tomorrow morning when there was light.
Chen Xiangqian asked, "Didn't the broadcast just say there were two bears?"
"There are two big bears."
The two found it strange that two large bears could appear in the same territory.
Wouldn't the two bears start fighting each other?
Li Ju'an thought for a moment and said, "Bears are all loners, or they are either one big and one small, one male and one female, or one female and one cub."
He reached behind him and grabbed the bear's tail, then froze in his tracks.
Chen Xiangqian asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Li Ju'an told him to take a handful as well.
Chen Xiangqian touched it for a long time, then exclaimed in confusion, "Something's not right, why aren't there any testicles?"
This Gobi bear was about 1.8 meters tall when it stood up, and looked as robust as a grown man, so Chen Xiangqian's first impression was that it was a male bear. But after touching it over and over, he couldn't find any testicles, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "A female bear?"
That makes sense.
The two overweight Gobi bears were agile and nimble. Not only were they huge for Gobi bears, but they were also incredibly fast and agile.
The Gobi bear is much larger than the Gobi bear, but not as agile. Therefore, the Gobi bear's large size gives it a significant advantage, allowing it to overwhelm hunters and their dogs, causing heavy casualties.
Li Ju'an nodded and said, "It should be a male and a female. The two bears are probably dating, otherwise they wouldn't be living in the same territory."
