Chapter 518 The Mysterious Fire Extinguishing Bird
"Liu Junhao, what are you doing nonsense at this time, hurry up and tell me what it is?" The curiosity of several people was completely aroused, and they couldn't help urging.

"Wait for a moment, the answer will be revealed soon, look up to the sky!" Liu Junhao pointed to the night sky, and saw two black figures flying over the fire, followed by something falling and pouring directly on the fire, which was already dim The flames went out immediately.

"How could it be possible for the birds to bring water to put out the fire? How did they do it?!" Wang Junfeng and others were all dumbfounded.The most unlikely thing happened, making them feel like reading a fairy tale novel.Du Bo even twisted his thigh quietly. It wasn't a dream, such a weird bird actually existed in reality.

"Hehe, this should be the legendary fire-fighting bird. I heard it from the older generation before, and I thought it was made up by them. Who knew it really existed." Liu Junhao was also a little excited.

In the early years, there were many anecdotes and strange things in Daqingshan. The most amazing thing was a kind of animal called sloppy. This thing had a horse's head and a thick and long tail. eccentric.They usually like to hunt in groups and swim around.Despite its small size, it is the nemesis of tigers and leopards.

It is said that this thing will chase madly when it sees tigers and leopards. When it gets close, it will jump on the back of the tiger and leopard, and quickly blind the eyes and claws of the prey with its sharp claws.In this way, the prey loses its sense of direction and can only go on a rampage.At this time, other sloppy sons rushed up and used their sharp claws to dig out the anus of the prey, and directly pulled out the intestines and shredded them.When tigers and leopards lose too much blood and die, they will share and eat them.

Therefore, the beasts in the mountains are very afraid of the sloppy sons, and they will run away when they hear their calls.

But this thing also attacks the farmer's livestock, so the mountain people hate and fear it.There used to be a team of hunters who wanted to hunt down the sloppy creature, but it was a pity that this thing ran too fast and was very clever, so there was no chance for people to hunt it down.

In addition to the sloppy child, there is another magical animal called the fire-fighting bird, which has something to do with Jingwei's reclamation.The fire-fighting bird is said to be the son of the Dragon King. He was sent to the lower realm for drowning Jingwei with sea water.

After Jingwei died, he turned into a bird with red claws and white beak, determined to fill the sea.The son of the Dragon King turned into a fire-extinguishing bird and was punished to extinguish the fire. Only by extinguishing all the fires in the world can he return to his real body.

Regarding these things, although the old people swear by them, Liu Junhao has always listened to them as stories.After all, it was a bit too bizarre, but leaving aside the mythological color in the story, it was really unbelievable to him that this kind of bird actually existed in reality.

"I've never heard of such a fire-fighting bird. At least it's the first time we heard it in China. We must have discovered a new bird." Wang Junfeng exclaimed excitedly.In fact, it is not surprising that new birds and beasts are discovered every year in the world, and even animals that were considered extinct in the past are rediscovered.It has been reported on the Internet that in the past ten years, the expedition team has discovered more than 1000 new species in the Greater Mekong region of Southeast Asia alone.

"Oops, I forgot to take a photo." At this time Du Bo called out a little depressed. They were all shocked just now and completely forgot to do other work.

"It's okay, let's start the fire again," Luo Haitao said, frantically lighting the fire up again.

Not long after, two more black shadows came from a distance.When the fire was extinguished, the far-infrared camera clearly captured the figure of this bird.

However, due to the distance, the birds in the photos are not very clear, and they can only feel that they look like owls.

After tossing back and forth several times, seeing that they couldn't take clear photos, they had no choice but to give up.Later, I simply extinguished the fire, mainly because I didn't want to torment the bird anymore, after all, it was not easy for others.

After watching the strange scene, everyone was a little excited, and they didn't go back to sleep until after twelve o'clock.

Tonight was destined to be full of accidents. I don't know how long it took, and the two maculas cried out again, and the sound was much louder than last time.

Feeling the anxiety in Xiaopi's cry, Liu Junhao got up from the sleeping bag with almost no delay.

Seeing the glinting eyes in the distance, he initially thought it was a grass leopard visiting.But when he saw the blurred figures in the darkness clearly, he realized that something was wrong.

Judging from the number, it is impossible to be a clouded leopard. That kind of thing usually hunts alone and does not attack in groups.

"It can't be a pack of wolves?" Du Bo whispered.I couldn't see clearly in the dark, only a dozen pairs of dark green eyes were vaguely watching them from a distance.

Good guy, I heard that there are wild wolves in Daqing Mountain before, but I never thought that they would actually meet them.

Even if the macula and the wolf have an advantage in fighting alone, but with so many wolves gathered together, the two macula will definitely not be able to please.Liu Junhao regretted it a bit. In fact, after the previous investigation, he didn't think there were any ferocious beasts in the mountains, so he didn't bring a crossbow, but only a slingshot.

Thinking of the slingshot, Liu Junhao felt a little more at ease.Climbing up a tree is the most sensible choice at this time, but unfortunately they didn't consider this aspect at all when camping, and they were more than 20 meters away from the nearest big tree.

In this situation, they didn't dare to act rashly at all, and retreated a little, and the wolves were designated to catch up.With the advantage of the pack of wolves, they didn't even have a chance to climb the tree.

Liu Junhao heard from his grandfather about encountering wolves before, saying that this creature seldom hunts during the day, and mostly comes out to look for food in the evening.

In [-], they went to the mountains to cut lumber during the iron and steel smelting. When they came back to finish their work, they often encountered wild wolves following them.This thing is very patient, and will follow behind at a long distance. When the person walks away, it will sneak behind the person, and run quickly when the distance is close.

When a person turns his head when he hears a voice behind him, the hungry wolf will jump up and bite the person's throat directly, and inexperienced people will often die from this.

The correct way at this time is to never turn your head back. When you feel the wolf approaching, you suddenly squat down, and when you see the opportunity, put your hands up and quickly grab the two front paws of the hungry wolf.Then, using inertia, he threw the wolf to the ground with all his strength, and at the same time threw his body forward, quickly put his knee against the wolf's neck, and smashed the wolf's head with a stone.

This technique sounds simple, but Liu Junhao doesn't know if it will work or not.

Even if it is done, there is no chance to use it, so many hungry wolves will definitely not stand by and watch.

"Light a fire, light a fire quickly" Liu Junhao shouted hastily without hesitating for too long.Animals have a natural fear of fire, and this keeps them from approaching it.

Wang Junfeng and Luo Haitao also reacted at this time, and quickly got some dry firewood to light the fire again.

The flames burned more and more intensely, and several people finally saw the true colors of the shadow opposite them clearly.

Covered in brown-gray fur, he looks like a wolf, but his eyes are a little less fierce, and he is much smaller than a wolf, weighing only a dozen catties.At the critical juncture, Liu Junhao still had time to count the number of them, nine in total.

"This... doesn't seem to be a wolf, it should be a jackal?" Luo Haitao whispered from behind.

"It should be, this thing is nothing to be afraid of." Liu Junhao relaxed a little.I believe that many people have read such a sentence "wolves, tigers and leopards" in books, among which jackals are ranked first, and Daqingshan is commonly known as jackals.In fact, this thing is far less scary than in the legends. It is as bullying and afraid of evil as the grass leopard, and it dare not fight humans head-on.

When Liu Junhao was a child, he once went to the mountain with his grandfather to dig wild vegetables and encountered two jackals.At that time, he thought it was someone's dog, and yelled at the old man curiously: "Look, there are two dogs on the hillside."

Old man Liu explained with a smile: "That's not a dog, but a jackal. Don't be afraid at all." After speaking, he picked up a wooden stick from under the tree, held it in his hand and walked straight towards the jackal.

As soon as the old man took a few steps forward, the two jackals started to back up.He ran forward a few more steps, yelling and waving the wooden stick, but the jackal was frightened and ran straight into the bushes to escape, and soon disappeared.

Later, the old man explained that jackals look fierce, but they are actually cowards. If you back up when you spot them, they will follow closely behind, and if you chase them, they will startle away.

Later, Liu Junhao also heard people say several times that jackals never take the initiative to attack people, and so far there is no record of cannibalism after attacking.

"It's nothing to be afraid of?... What shall we do?" Du Bo felt his legs tremble a little, seeing the signs of a group of jackals approaching him.

Liu Junhao reached out and patted his shoulder, and the guy fell to the ground with a plop.

"It scares you, don't worry, I can take care of this thing by myself, don't move around by the fire." He said, picked up the slingshot and walked out.

"What are you doing, come back quickly!" Wang Junfeng shouted anxiously.

Liu Junhao, as if he didn't hear it, still walked forward with big strides, and two macular skins protected his master from left to right and followed.After walking a few steps, the group of jackals not far away began to commotion.

He took out a stone from his pocket, then pulled the slingshot and shot it.There was only a pop, and then screams came from the pack of jackals.

Seeing that those guys still had no intention of leaving, Liu Junhao kept pulling the slingshot again and again.Of course, the rubber band is only pulled halfway each time, in order to teach them a lesson.Otherwise, with its strong elasticity, it would definitely be able to shoot through the jackal's head. If so, it would be bad if the jackal saw the death and injury of his companions and aroused blood.

For a while, the jackals on the opposite side kept screaming, and many of them were beaten and retreated again and again.

Seeing that they didn't intend to attack, Liu Junhao became more daring and simply took two steps forward. Suddenly, Maoyao picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the pack of jackals with a loud cry.

This time the jackals exploded their nests, and they all backed away screaming.

Is that all right?The next three people tended to be dumbfounded again.The extremely ferocious jackal in the legend is nothing more than that!Don't look at them taking a lot of videos of jackals with their cameras, but they haven't really had direct contact with this thing.

It is better to have no books than to believe in books. In the novels, animals like jackals are rendered extremely terrifying. In fact, it is completely different in real life. At least in Daqingshan, these jackals are really cowardly.
