Chapter 1540
Famous could smell coyotes. Although deer's sense of smell was not as sensitive as that of dogs, their sense of smell and hearing were very developed, which was not much worse than that of dogs. In addition, their survival instincts, which had been living in the forest for a long time, made them aware that the enemy was nearby.
The night was too dark, and the deer's night vision was very poor. They knew that there was an enemy and could roughly know the enemy's location, but they did not run away for the time being because the deer did not run. The deer had learned its lesson from the last time when it ran around at night and hit a tree. It placed its hopes on humans. It heard Zhang Zian's footsteps. Since he could drive away the black bear, it would not be a problem to drive away the coyote.
Even so, the herd of deer could still hold their ground at the beginning, but when the Coyotes began to howl, the mother and the young deers began to panic and wanted to escape. The deer endured the pain and tried to stop the deer that was trying to escape.
When facing a black bear, they could escape because not running would mean death. But the coyote scared the deers to run away, and once they ran, the formation would be broken. The male and female deers were less dangerous, but the young deers were directly exposed to the Wolf's kiss.
In the silent forest, the long howl of the wolf was particularly terrifying. It sent a chill down one's spine, and even the small nocturnal animals were silent.
The other Elfins had already arrived, but they didn't get too close. First, they didn't know what Zhang Zian's attitude was toward the battle between the wolf and the deer. Second, they were worried about the prion and were afraid of being infected.
Zhang Zian and Galaxy arrived late, and old time tea said,""Zian, should we watch the fire from across the river, or should we intervene? If the herd of deer escapes, will the coyote attack us?"
He looked around with his night vision goggles, indicating that they should wait and see. As long as the deer didn't get scattered, the Coyotes probably wouldn't dare to attack rashly.
"That's strange, are there only these few coyote?"
He didn't find any traces of other coyotes nearby, so he couldn't help but wonder.
"What do you mean?" Fina asked,"are these not enough?" You still think it's too little?"
"I don't mean it that way." He denied it first and then explained,"because when wolves or Lions surround their prey, they usually adopt a rather clever cooperation mode. The main force in charge of the attack will lie in ambush nearby, and the other few will feign an attack. They will drive the prey to the ambush circle set by the main force, and then they will attack from the front and the back, wrapping the prey in a dumpling."
He gestured as he explained, making it easy to understand.
"I can't tell," Vladimir praised."They would spontaneously adopt such a simple and efficient tactic. The wisdom of the people is infinite!"
"That's why I'm wondering why the wolves and Lions are like this. There's no reason for the Coyotes, who are more adaptable to the environment, not to use similar tactics." He pointed at the pairs of eyes in the darkness."Look, they're just howling and bluffing, but they don't seem to have the intention to attack. Will the real attack be like this? I think they're responsible for the feint attack. The main force of the Coyotes hasn't appeared yet and are still lying in ambush in the dark. "
He pointed out the suspicious points, and the elves came to a realization.
Wasn't it just as he said? these coyotes are bluffing, and their purpose is to drive the deer herd to the main ambush point.
"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy wants to move, I'll move first!" Vladimir nodded its head repeatedly."It's best to hold back for now!" The moment you move, you'll fall into the enemy's trap!"
So, where is the main force of the Coyotes?
These coyotes may also feel a little puzzled. Usually, as long as they howled a few times, the deer herd would be scared and flee in all directions. Why did the deer herd refuse to leave the place today?
Zhang Zian used the night vision device to scan the area in front of him. It was reasonable to say that the terrain of the forest was complex, and the Coyotes would not ambush too far away. Otherwise, what if the deer don't run in the direction they want?
But he didn't see any other bright eyes. Of course, it could be that they were blocked by trees or grass.
Old time tea sneaked up to the tree and looked down, but it also didn't see any suspicious moving objects.
Could it be that he had overestimated this group of coyotes? In fact, these few coyotes are all there is to them. There is no feint or main attack at all. They just want to scare the deer away, but today the deer did not follow the script, so the Coyotes are at a loss?
Was it like this?
This was the most reasonable explanation at the moment, but it could not completely dispel the doubts in his heart.
The Coyotes howled for a long time, but seeing that there was no effect, they stopped howling one after another. The deer herd also slowly calmed down, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
At this moment, the silence of the forest was suddenly broken by the shrill cry of a night owl!
Zhang Zian's heart trembled. He and the Elfins all turned around to look, because the cry came from behind them. It was the spotted owl's cry!
Immediately after.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
"Kaka! Gah gah! Someone is molesting me!"
Pi and Richard, who had stayed in the tent because of their poor vision at night, screamed at the same time, their voices full of fear.
F * ck!
Zhang Zian suddenly understood that the real target of the coyote was not the deer herd. It was a trick to lure the Tiger away from the mountain! The Coyotes appeared unhurriedly and howled one after another. Their real purpose was to attract him over and use a feint to contain him and the deer herd here, making him think that they were going to attack the deer herd. However, the main force of the Coyotes has long been quietly lying in ambush around the tent. Their real target is the monkey and bird in the tent!
But, were coyotes that smart?
He didn't have time to think and immediately ran back with the elves around him at the fastest speed.
"Meow my a * s! I've been hunting geese every day, and today I was pecked in the eye by a goose!" Vladimir said remorsefully, representing the thoughts of the other elves.
The previous black bear had made him and the elves form a mindset that the coyote's appearance was also to attack the deer group. They never thought that the coyote would actually make them the target.
Fortunately, the deer's resting place was an open space, very close to the tent set up against the tree. The straight line distance was only about 20 meters. The elves arrived first, and he arrived after them.
Before he got close, he saw the burning bonfire and a few coyotes that were illuminated by the fire. They wanted to attack the tent, but they were instinctively afraid of the fire, so they wandered only two or three meters away from the bonfire. Even so, they didn't back down, as if they were determined to get the monkey and bird in the tent.
The Coyotes bared their teeth and made threatening low roars. In addition, a low and hoarse growl came from the darkness where the fire could not reach, as if urging the Coyotes to attack.
Old time tea had sneaked back from the tree. It looked down and saw the figure of the thing. It suddenly remembered a legendary animal and exclaimed,""Is that the bei?"
