Iron Powder and Spellcaster

Hearing the command from the beast speaker, Xiaobai stretched out his arms and groped behind his back, but he didn't dare to move his torso.

He stared at the wolves approaching the hillside, fearing that he would disturb them.

"[Hed] Don't be afraid." Bell calmly reminded: "[Hed] The wolves don't see you."

After receiving the instructions from the beast speaker, Xiaobai became a little bolder. He leaned over and crawled in front of the beast speaker, lying on the hillside and slowly unfolded the bipod, slowly inserted it into the soil, and held it with his hands.

Bell's hunting rifle "bracket" was specially made for shooting on slopes.

The matchlock guns commonly used in the army are difficult to hold steady without the support of the iron fork. The hunting rifle that Winters and Anna gave to Bell is longer than the military matchlock gun.

Although the weight has been reduced as much as possible, it is almost impossible to shoot accurately with just a pair of arms without support.

The Great Wasteland is full of undulating and rolling hillsides, and only grass grows.

Unlike in the forest, you can find a tree branch to support the gun. Shooting down from the grass slope, nine out of ten times you can't find anything to hold the gun.

Shooting in a prone position, the field of vision is too limited.

So the little hunter specially asked someone to make a portable stand. Unlike the ordinary iron fork stand, his stand has two legs that can be opened and closed, and it is made of wood, which is more stable and lighter.

Bell took the shotgun from his knees and gently placed it on the stand, his shoulder firmly against the butt, and his finger on the trigger.

He felt the breath of the wilderness, measured the distance between himself and the target with his eyes, determined the wind direction and wind force according to the ups and downs of the grass waves, and the shotgun in his hand gradually became a part of his body. He had imagined where the lead bullet would fall, and he waited patiently, waiting for the wolves to get closer and closer.

The wolves in the field of vision became clearer and clearer, and you could almost see the dew condensed on their fluffy hair.

Dabai and Xiaobai didn't even dare to breathe. They felt that time had become extremely long. They didn't dare to make any movements. They were afraid of disturbing the beast spirit speaker and scaring the prey. They could only pray to the sky silently in their hearts.

It wasn't until the wolves walked up the hillside, until the distance between the two sides was only two hundred steps away, and until the leading giant wolf suddenly stopped, that Bell Ralphnovich Platov pulled the trigger steadily.

The lead bullet shot into the giant wolf's eyes, shattering the base of the skull and cervical vertebrae all the way, and finally flew out from the top of the spine with flesh and blood.

The giant wolf shuddered, fell down, and stopped moving immediately.

The other adult wolf and the remaining two sub-adult wolves in the wolf pack immediately turned their heads and fled in the direction they came from.

The grassland at dawn was also awakened by the thunder-like gunshots, and a large number of flying birds were startled in the woods in the distance.

"Has [Herd] been hit?" Xiaobai, who was lying on the ground holding the stand, could not see anything, and asked anxiously: "Has [Herd] been hit?"

"[Herd] shotgun." Bell neatly put away the shotgun and put it beside him, while reaching out to Dabai.

"[Herd] was hit! Don't move!" Dabai answered his brother while offering the spare shotgun to the beast spirit speaker. The three of them brought three guns in total, all loaded with ammunition in advance, ready to shoot at any time.

Xiaobai, who was waiting anxiously, was ecstatic when he heard that the gray-haired beast that had harmed at least four lambs was killed. He couldn't help but "Hi" and clapped his hands on the ground.

However, as soon as his hand left the foot of the gun stand, the gun stand immediately fell down the hillside. Xiaobai was unable to react and wanted to remedy it, but it was too late. The foot on the other side also broke out of his hand, and the gun stand that was out of his hand rolled down the hillside and slid to a place more than ten meters away.

Dabai was stunned, but Bell, who took the spare shotgun, did not hesitate. He changed his sitting position to sideways, used his knees to support his arms to hold the shotgun, and aimed at the fleeing wolves.

Xiaobai knew he had made a mistake and wanted to remedy it immediately, but he knew it was too late when he saw the position of the gun rack.

He gritted his teeth, got up, knelt on one knee facing the beast spirit speaker, and held the gun body of the shotgun with his right shoulder.

Bell and Xiaobai looked at each other briefly.

Bell, who was not surprised that Xiaobai lost the gun rack, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise at this moment.

Xiaobai held the gun barrel with both hands, grinning and waiting for the loud noise that would definitely make him dizzy and tinnitus.

"[Hedd] Don't move." Bell said softly.

Then he pulled the trigger.

Another thunderous gunshot, and the adult wolf running in the front of the wolf pack running towards the woods suddenly stumbled.

The bullet hit its hindquarters, and the impact and severe pain made it sway in place before falling down. It lay on the ground, rolling in pain and wailing.

Dabai immediately handed over the third shotgun and patted his brother on the back. Little White looked at his brother and nodded, lowered his head to get out of sight, waiting for the third shot.

However, Bell, who had already aimed at the target, did not pull the trigger in the end, and watched the two sub-adult wolves flee into the forest without looking back.

Dabai and Little White were both puzzled.

Bell raised the muzzle of the gun and fired the third shot at the open space, then handed the shotgun back to Dabai.

"[Herd] The wolves now are all male and female with some cubs. Kill the big ones, and the small ones will not dare to come again," Bell said, "[Herd] Go and get the horse."

Little White got up and ran to the back of the hillside. It took a long time before he got the horse over - in order to prevent being discovered by the wolves, they hid the horse far away.

The three of them put away their shotguns, rode horses, and galloped down the hillside, arriving first at the giant wolf's body.

Dabai and Xiaobai turned over and dismounted, exclaiming in admiration: "[Hudian] What a big gray-haired beast!"

The two of them grabbed the giant wolf's head and touched it three times on their foreheads.

Then Dabai took out the knife he carried with him, cut off the tongue of the giant wolf, and handed it to the beast spirit whisperer respectfully, because the Hud people had the custom of collecting the tongues of the beasts they killed and drying them to make amulets.

"[Herd language] is an amazing creature." Dabai tried hard to say something auspicious: "[Herd language] will definitely be able to make a great talisman."

Bell, however, shook his head with flat interest: "[Hud language] Just keep it."

"[Hed said] You have to kill it yourself to be useful."

"[Herd] This wolf was killed by you and me together."

Dabai thought for a moment and put his tongue back into the giant wolf's mouth without any hesitation. He and his brother carried the giant wolf's body onto their horses, and then walked to the place where the second wolf lay dead.

Unexpectedly, the second wolf that was hit in the waist did not die. It lay in a pool of its own blood with its eyes open, twitching slightly.

Dabai looked at the beast spirit whisperer.

Bell nodded.

Dabai stepped forward with the knife and ended the wolf's pain.

This time, Dabai and his younger brother worked together to put the wolf corpse on Xiaobai's horse, turned around and asked: "[Herd] Can we go hunting tomorrow?"

Bell looked at the vast wasteland in the morning light: "[Hud language] Truce, for now."

[West Bank of Shovel Lake]

[Old camp of Wenduoerbu]

News of the victorious return of the Beast Spirit Whisperer spread throughout the camp instantly, and almost all men, women, and children came out to greet him.

The children were playing and playing and running around behind the horse carrying the wolf carcass;

The women covered their noses with their sleeves to block the stench from the wolf carcasses, looking at the teeth exposed in the wolf's mouth with curiosity and fear;

The men who rushed back after hearing the news from outside the camp admired the size of the giant wolves and showed relief. These gray-haired animals have disturbed the grazing land these days. The camp had to allocate more boys to guard the animals at night. Now, they can finally get a good night's sleep.

The old people held their chests and bowed to the beast spirit speaker.

Xiaobai rode a horse and walked among the crowd. He felt so honored and puffed up his chest unconsciously.

There was also a touch of pride in Dabai's expression.

Although they did not pull the trigger to kill the wolf, there is no doubt that these two wolf carcasses are the final result of their tireless search for traces of wolves during this period.

Bell just nodded and returned the greetings to the old people with a calm expression.

Until he found that behind the crowd, Pierre was looking at him with a smile.
