The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 287
The car engine roared, frightening the animals in the woods, and countless birds flew into the sky with their wings.
Four pickup trucks crushed the slightly muddy road, bypassed the hunting zone, and drove towards the junction of the wetlands and the woods.
The convoy drove for a long time and stopped at the junction of the woods and wetlands.
On one of the pickup trucks, Erica took out the deworming sprayer, sprayed some of the driving Hawk, and then sprayed it on himself.
“There is a swamp here,” Hawke said.
Ellika put on gloves: “Be careful under your feet.”
Hawke got out of the car, opened the rear door, took out the Winchester M12 shotgun and ammunition bag he bought when he was in Wyoming, and carried it on his back.
Erica on the other side took out the Savage bear hunting rifle.
On the two pickup trucks behind, Raul and other bodyguards who came out were all equipped with long guns.
The bearded Duran saw yesterday that the two clients were not ordinary people.
He pointed directly in front of the convoy and said, “Eight hundred meters away is a small lake. Last month someone saw a large crocodile here. Two of them confirmed that the crocodile was nearly 5 meters long. ”
Erica asked, “Isn’t there a bigger one?”
Duran said: “This is the largest prey information I have. Although American crocodiles can theoretically grow to more than six meters long, it is rare to see those over five meters.”
A roar suddenly came from the sky.
Hawke looked up and looked in the direction where the sound came. A small plane was flying north from the south in the distance, and there seemed to be a few things on the plane falling down one after another.
He asked, “What did the plane throw?”
Erica picked up the telescope, looked over there, and said, “It looks like an orange emergency kit.”
The plane did not fail and soon flew south again.
Duran said: “There is a forest protection station nearby, which may be a supply supply.”
Hawke responded, without saying anything more.
Duran saw two assistants holding rope rings and carrying a backpack with bait on them, and said, “Some crocodiles are very alert. We walk over and wait until we successfully hunt the crocodile before driving over.”
Hawke nodded, “Yes.”
Duran and the other two walked in front.
Raul, Guti and Morientes followed, with Hawk and Erica in the middle, followed by four fully armed bodyguards.
The path pressed out by the wheels under your feet became the dividing line between the woods and grasslands.
The further he walked, the more humid the air became, and Hawke even smelled the water smell as he approached the river.
Duran stopped at this time and turned to look at the woods on one side.
Hawke also heard some movement, subconsciously took a step forward, blocking Erica.
He saw a dark look.
In the woods, a half-large black bear smelled the smell of raw meat and ran towards the edge of the tree.
It has poor vision, but its sense of smell is quite sensitive. When it is hungry, it finds food and rushes out excitedly.
But when his eyes saw clearly, the black bear quickly braked and stopped in place.
In the crowd, Hawke picked up the shotgun and pointed the muzzle at the Black Bear.
The guns in other hands also pointed at the other side.
The half-large black bear sniffed hard, raised its front half, as if it was about to be cute, shook its dark brain and turned around and walked back.
After walking a few steps, he quickly lay down, leaned on all sides, drilled into the bushes, and ran away without looking back.
Duran looked at the escaped black bear and said, “It’s too small.”
Hawke didn’t shoot, and that’s why: “See if you can meet a bigger one.”
“It seems to know a gun.” Erica thought.
Duran said, “Those who don’t know the gun are dead.”
Everyone laughed.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, I came to a lake.
Duran and others took Hawke and Erica to check the traces of animal activities by the lake, while the rest were scattered around to guard.
Towards the south, the weeds are left with yellow grass roots, turning into a mud field, with some claws and hoof marks on the ground, and there are also signs of rolling.
Duran squatted in the mud, pointed to the ground and said, “Look, this should be a place where some animals come to the lake to drink water. Not long ago, there should be a crocodile, a larger land animal nearby. Look here Traces, a big crocodile used death rolling. “
Hawke’s gloved hand touched the dry mud, especially the traces left by the rolling death, and said, “It’s living nearby. It shouldn’t have eaten large food for a while, so put the bait.”
Duran replied, “Okay.”
Hawke took the rope sent by his assistant and tied it with a thick special alloy hook.
Erica took a piece of meat and hung it on the iron hook. She looked at the water surface carefully and said, “I didn’t see a crocodile.”
“Try putting the bait first.” Considering that the crocodile might be huge, Hawk took one end of the rope and walked towards a thicker tree, tied it to the tree.
When he came back, Erica lifted the iron hook and threw the bait into the shallow water.
Several people walked back and hid behind a mound of soil.
The rest is to wait patiently.
Hawke was extremely patient, sitting on the ground, staring at the lake.
Erica moved the rope from time to time to let the piece of meat on the iron hook make some noises to seduce the crocodile.
…
In the woods, the half-large black bear ran all the way. Suddenly, he heard the roar, stopped quickly and changed directions. Where the sound came, there was an adult male bear.
Although both are physical father and son, male bears will attack cubs.
The adult bear is very large and although it does not have the largest 345 kilograms recorded in Florida, it is close to two meters tall when standing.
Several orange first aid kits falling from the sky attracted the attention of the black bear.
It roared and rushed towards the other side, tearing open a first aid kit with its flexible front paws, and pulled out a plastic bag from the broken mouth.
The bag was torn by the bear, and the white powder contained inside dyed the black bear’s mouth and head white, and some fell into its mouth.
Black bears sometimes behave very much like humans.
It didn’t know what was in the bag, but after taking a few bites, it lost interest, and instead tore the orange first aid kit so hard that it was broken.
The raised white dust fell on the black bear, and some of the black white hair was stained with white.
Not long after, the black bear suddenly became irritable and frantically pulled the bark of a big tree, scattering all of the bark, revealing the smooth trunk.
Then he hit the small tree, and the small tree broke from the middle.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
It stood up, as if drunk, and roared like a roar.
The bear got excited and rushed around the woods, like a black bulldozer.
…
By the lake, the group of people who wanted to fish for crocodiles had been waiting for a long time.
Even the bearded Duran was a little impatient, wondering if there was any problem with the clues she received.
The traces left on the mud land are correct, but crocodiles sometimes move and leave the waters where they grow up.
Hawke and Erica are more patient than Duran.
The two people who were murderous like terrible people were more like experienced old hunters.
Just as Duran wanted to try another place, Hawke saw something floating on the lake and whispered, “Here you.”
Erica raised her telescope and found the moving crocodile: “It’s approaching, coming at the position of the bait.”
Hawk pulled the rope that wasn’t too thick, allowing the bait to keep jumping in shallow water, while reminding Erica: “Try to keep it intact.”
“Catch it alive?” Erica asked.
But Hawke said, “Looking for an opportunity to kill him directly. We are not catching him and raising him, but just making one for a specimen.”
Erica picked up the Savage rifle on one side and aimed at the other side of the lake.
The crocodile that was originally floating on the water disappeared, and Hawk, wearing gloves, grabbed the gloves and retracted.
Suddenly, the rope rushed forward.
Hawke exerted force on his arm and pulled it back hard, feeling a heavy object hanging on the opposite side.
The crocodile swallowed it directly, swallowed the meat bait, and swallowed the huge alloy iron hook into its stomach.
Hawke tugged back, and the hook hung in the unprotected place of the crocodile.
The crocodile was in pain and rolled under the water, stirring the water surface as if it was boiling a pot. First turn the water, then turn the mud, and soon a blood-red ball appeared.
Hawke pulled the telescopic with both hands and pulled back with force.
The crocodile was pulled over by him, and his huge head was exposed to the water.
This guy is very big and waves his head as soon as he comes out of water to try to walk back.
Hawke rushed forward two steps, pressed the ground tightly, and his arms bulged, stabilizing his body.
Duran and the two assistants rushed to the back of Hawk, each grabbed the rope and pulled back together.
Through the nearest Guti, he also ran over and grabbed the rope.
The four men exerted their strength together and pulled the crocodile from the shallow water to the edge of the water.
The American crocodile also revealed its true appearance, nearly 5 meters long, with a tail and torso covered with scales, and its wide mouth can swallow an adult in one bite.
However, at this time, a stretching and contracting deep into its mouth.
The hook in the front section creates wounds during the pulling, causing bleeding from the American crocodile’s mouth.
Hawke shouted, “Put it hard, pull it up from the water!”
The three people behind worked together to drag the American crocodile to the shore completely.
The American crocodile’s limbs fell on the mud, and at this critical moment of life and death, he activated the ultimate skill – death rolling!
The huge body was rotating wildly, like an invincible hot wheel.
But the more violent it turns, the more damage the iron hook will cause in the belly.
Blood flowed out of the crocodile’s big mouth.
In addition to the stinky smell of mud, Hawke also smelled a pungent smell of blood.
The crocodile moved for a while and consumed a lot of energy, and gradually stopped.
The four Hawk who had tug of war with this big crocodile was not easy either.
This kind of giant beast has strong explosive power before death.
The crocodile lay on the ground and opened its mouth again.
Erica finally found a chance to kill a crocodile without hurting it.
She pointed the muzzle at the crocodile’s wide open mouth and pulled the trigger!
A bang shot went far away, alarming birds hundreds of meters away from nearby to fly into the sky.
The American crocodile shook and struggled again, but this time it was not fierce.
The bleeding speed in the mouth became faster, and after a moment, I lost my strength. (End of this chapter)
