Reborn in 80: Starting with hunting in the mountains to get rich

Chapter 194 Sun Weimin blindly shoots the big brown bear

Sun Weimin was poking a stick into the crevice of the underground chamber when suddenly a strong force pulled him forward, causing his entire body to slam against the cave wall, his nose even hurting from the impact.

That bump really ignited his anger.

"Holy crap! What's going on? They're even doing a tug-of-war with me, and now they're fighting?"

They were all hunters who hunted in the mountains; none of them were without a temper.

Sun Weimin was indignant and truly enraged. His blood rushed to his head, and his head was buzzing. He clenched his buttocks, brought his legs together, gritted his teeth, and pulled the stick back with all his might.

Yeah!

With all his might, he actually managed to pull the stick back three inches.

Old Qin's eyes widened in astonishment.

He was the king of Changbai Mountain, and he had seen all kinds of wild beasts and hunters, but this was the first time in his life that he had ever seen someone wrestling with a big brown bear.

He roared, "Didn't you say you were going to plant explosives? Put the detonator on!"

Sun Weimin slapped his forehead and realized that made sense.

With detonators and fuses, killing the bear was a sure thing. He quickly placed small tubes of explosives and detonators in the crevices of the rocks around the dugout, leaving a fuse more than a meter long. As soon as the brown bear was startled and poked its body out, he would immediately light the fuse.

Once most of the bear's body was exposed, he could just light the fuse to sever its leg, then finish it off with whatever shot he wanted. He refused to believe that this time, with medium-caliber bullets, he could still manage to pierce the brown bear's forehead.

He loosened his grip on the stick and chuckled, "I'm truly the king of ideas in the Xing'an Mountains. Who would have thought of such a brilliant idea?"

Qin Pao couldn't find a way to respond. If there were hunters nearby, he would definitely pretend he wasn't familiar with Sun Weimin, otherwise he would lose face.

All the detonators and explosives were in place.

The long fuse trailed for about 1.2 meters. Sun Weimin had estimated that the fuse would ignite just as the brown bear poked its head out, detonating the explosives to blow up the bear's legs. If it hit the bear's body, it would likely damage the bile, which would be counterproductive. He came to raid the bear's granary specifically to collect the bile to sell for money.

"Alright, let's lure the bear out."

Luring a bear out sounds simple, but it's difficult in practice.

Generally, bears that stay in their dens are not interested in fighting. As long as things don't get too out of hand, bears that stay in their dens will not leave and will continue to sleep soundly.

Qin Pao winked at Sun Weimin: "Didn't you just wake up the bear? Keep it up!"

Sun Weimin didn't catch the sarcasm in his words, and actually drew his sword from his waist, shouting, "Then I'll be in charge of calling Cangzi. Old Qin, you'll light the fuse later."

Hunting bears requires at least two people, and ideally three to four. One person is responsible for waking the hibernating bears, while the second person is responsible for lighting the fuse and holding the gun ready to fire. If there are other helpers, they can crouch behind the campfire to assist in firing, because the bears won't retreat upon hearing gunfire; instead, they will charge angrily despite the bullets.

If the explosives don't hit the bear's leg, the real fight will begin.

Sun Weimin had just taken out his knife when he turned around and found no one by the fuse. Old Qin had run to the campfire to chop wood to make a snare.

His anger surged, and he shouted furiously, "Qin Pao, what are you doing? Did you sell me out?! If the bear really comes out, you're not going to light the fuse, you're deliberately trying to kill me!"

Qin Pao was just mocking him, and sneered, "With your few detonators and explosives, you wouldn't even be enough to tickle a brown bear. Besides, do you think bears are as stupid as wild boars? Bears are very clever; they'll even smash the explosive packs away."

Everyone in the village knew about Old Tao's retirement from crime years ago. That day, Old Tao used six detonators, lit the fuses, and went to blow up the bear's den. When the mother bear came out of the den, she saw the detonators, grabbed them, and was so startled that she ran back into the cave. Then, with a bang, the entire den exploded. Not only did the mother bear die, but the three bear cubs inside the cave were also mangled and lifeless.

This incident greatly agitated Lao Tao, and it also made all the hunters in the village aware that bears would do many unexpected things if they encountered a bomb. If the bear carried the bomb into its den, it would blow up the bear cubs, but if the bear threw the bomb into the hunters' group, what difference would that be from a gun exploding? The hunters would be the ones who would be blown up in a flash.

Qin Pao's trap has been basically completed.

He was using a steel wire rope to loop a heavy linden log, finishing the last lock to complete the loop. Just then, he heard Sun Weimin call out in surprise from nearby, "Hey, is that a bear?"

He turned his head and saw that Sun Weimin was already using a knife to poke at the cracks in the cave, trying to force the brown bear out. He quickly lit a cigarette and ran to the fuse. Although he teased Sun Weimin, he had to admit that he couldn't abandon his post at this moment. He had to guard the fuse as soon as possible, otherwise, if the brown bear ran out, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Sun Weimin stabbed back and forth with the knife several times, and found it very strange. He could hear the "thump thump" sound of the knife hitting the cave wall, but he couldn't touch the brown bear.

Where's that bear I was tug-of-war with just now?

"Sun Weimin, try poking it to the left again."

The cave was nearly two meters wide, and even narrower in some places. He really tried poking it from all directions with the dagger, but could only hear the "thump-thump" sound of it hitting the cave wall. He couldn't get his hands on anything soft or fleshy.

He was curious and found it strange, so he thought he should take a look.

He pressed his eyes against the crack in the rock of the cave, staring intently into the crevice.

Old Qin was startled, grabbed him and pulled him backward, shouting, "What the hell! You're such a rascal!"

Suddenly, a long, sharp beast claw emerged from the crack in the rock that he had been peering at.

Sharp, beastly claws, gleaming with a chilling light, appeared in the crevice where he had just peered through the stone. If Old Qin hadn't grabbed him, his eyeballs would have been pierced and popped out by the sharp bear claws.

Sun Weimin was terrified, his back already soaked with sweat. The cold wind blew into his neck, chilling him to the bone, making his back shiver.

"Damn it! This beast is deliberately squatting there, waiting to get me."

The more he thought about it, the more his temper flared up, and he stuck the No. 16 pistol behind him through a crack in the rocks and fired.

boom! boom! boom!

He angrily fired and pulled the trigger, emptying the magazine and then stuffing the bullets he was holding into the chamber. He closed the gun, pressed it against his face, and angrily pulled the trigger again, the bullets shooting blindly through the cracks in the stone cave.

Number 16 was forced into a semi-automatic stance by him. All the anger in his heart surged into a strong will, and his competitive spirit was ignited after being provoked.

As he angrily fired his gun, he shouted, "I'll kill you, you bastard!"

boom! boom! boom!
