Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539-bonfire

It wasn’t strange to encounter coyotes in the primitive forests of North America. After all, they could encounter them in big cities, so it was normal to encounter them in the forest.

No one knew exactly how many coyotes there were in North America. People only knew that in 2013 alone, the United States Department of Agriculture invested in the killing of more than 70000 coyotes, as well as 4 million other wild animals, for reasons such as the protection of endangered species, public safety, and control of Wildlife Diseases.

These reasons were actually very easy to understand. Some animals were very adapted to the natural environment, so they reproduced in large numbers, and the living space of some endangered animals would be occupied. For example, the spotted owls were no match for the foreign owl population, and their numbers were getting smaller and smaller. To protect the spotted owls, they had to kill the foreign owl population.

Coyotes are one of the most successful species in North America. They have strong survivability and adapt very well to both the natural environment and the urban environment. It is normal for them to be rampant in the other 49 states except Hawaii. They pose a serious threat to agricultural production, public safety, and endangered species, so the United States often holds hunting competitions for coyotes. However, if you want to kill a coyote, you must have legal documents and procedures. You can’t kill it casually.

Father yang said that coyotes rarely attack people, which is correct, but very few doesn’t mean there is no one. In fact, in the past few decades, there had been more than 300 cases of coyotes attacking people in California. Most of the targets were children, and occasionally, there were adults.

There was once a 19-year-old girl who was bitten to death by a coyote. Zhang Zian had been worried that melgen would also be kissed by the wolf. Now he knew that melgen had been caught by Peter Lee and his team.

When he heard that it was a coyote wandering nearby, he was relieved. Although he didn’t know how many coyotes there were, at least it was better than encountering a black bear.

Famous didn’t call the police loudly because it had seen coyotes and knew that a single coyote was very weak. Even if a group of coyotes came, they should not be able to beat the elves.

But what was the other animal?

Famous wasn’t completely unfamiliar with the smell. It had smelled a similar smell in the forest, but it didn’t know what animal the owner of the smell was.

The cat elves also left the tent. When they heard that it was not a black bear, but another strange animal, their curiosity was aroused. Since they were already awake, they might as well go and watch the fun.

Famous led the way in the direction of the deer herd.

Zhang Zian took his night vision and flashlight. Of course, he couldn’t forget the bear spray and taser gun. He planned to go with the Elfins.

He had just taken two steps when he noticed that Galaxy was still squatting by the bonfire. It did not go with the other cats.

“Galaxy, don’t you want to go and have a look?” He asked.

Galaxy stretched its body and wagged its tail. It looked at the bonfire and said,””Meow! The fire is going out!”

As soon as Zhang Zian left the tent, he saw that the bonfire was about to go out. He had slept for a few hours without adding any firewood in the middle, so there was only some charcoal left in the bonfire. In the grayish-white ashes, there was a faint dark red light and a pitiful amount of residual heat.

He had been thinking about the coyote, plus he had just woken up from sleep and saw that the bonfire was about to go out, but he only “saw” it, and there was no fluctuation in his mind.

So what if the fire was about to be extinguished?

The purpose of the bonfire was to drive away the beasts while sleeping and prevent them from approaching. Now that he and the elves were awake, the bonfire was far less threatening to the beasts than the bear spray.

The air was very cold. Zhang Zian rubbed his hands. He wanted to see what was going on immediately. How many coyotes were there and what other animals were there? however, Galaxy was squatting by the dying bonfire, as if it wanted to warm itself up. So, he squatted down again, picked up the unburnt branches, and put them into the bonfire.

“Yeah, the fire is about to go out, so let it burn again.” He said.

Because it had just rained the night before yesterday, and the fog was everywhere, the branches were relatively damp. After putting them into the bonfire, not only did they not burn, but the thick water vapor made the already dying bonfire even dimmer, as if it could be extinguished at any time.

He had no choice but to walk back to his backpack and look for solid alcohol with his flashlight. After finding a can, he took out a small piece and smeared it evenly on a dead branch. Then, he lit it with a lighter and stuffed it into the bonfire. He kept exhaling to help the air circulate and bring more oxygen to the bonfire.

With the solid alcohol as fuel, the bonfire quickly grew stronger and flames flickered. From time to time, there would be loud cracking sounds and sparks flying. That was the sound of the remaining water in the branches turning into steam and exploding.

“Galaxy, don’t get too close to the fire. Be careful of the fire sparks.” He warned.

Galaxy obediently stayed away from the bonfire, its silver-gray eyes reflecting the red flames, and said happily,””Meow, it’s so warm.”

“Then … You stay here and warm yourself up. I’ll go see what they’re doing.”

He was still quite worried about the elves who were watching the fun. After all, in addition to the coyote, there was another unknown animal. It would be good if it was not a large beast.

“Meow! Galaxy is going too!”

To his surprise, Galaxy seemed to have lost interest in the bonfire and followed him, wagging its tail.

So … It didn’t want to start a fire?

Zhang Zian was a little confused, but forget it. It was not a bad idea to light a new bonfire, so that he would not have to light it again after watching the fun.

He and Galaxy jogged to meet up with the other Elfins.

He didn’t dare to turn on the flashlight, for fear that it would provoke the wolves. Anyway, he had night vision, so it wasn’t difficult to move.

From afar, he could see the bright eyes of the elves, so he lightened his steps.

In addition, in the forest upstream of the stream, there were also several pairs of eyes shining, as if they were having bad ideas about the deer.

That must be the pack of suburban wolves.

Like most canines, coyotes are also social animals, but they tend to forage for food alone in the city. In the wild, sometimes they forage for food alone, sometimes they hunt in groups. There is no fixed form, which also shows that they are easy to adapt to the environment.

“One, two, three, four, five, six …”

Zhang Zian roughly counted. He could see a total of six pairs of bright eyes. Perhaps there were more in the woods.

These coyotes were probably attracted by the smell of the deer and planned to come over to have a taste of meat, but they had never found a suitable opportunity to attack.

But … What was the other animal?

Zhang Zian could only see the bright eyes through the night vision device. He couldn’t determine whether the six pairs of eyes included animals other than coyotes, but logically speaking, there shouldn’t be other animals mixed in the coyote group, right?

Wu~

Wuwuwu~

They didn’t know which coyote started it, but they suddenly started howling.
