Two thudding sounds sound could be heard, one after the other. Almost immediately afterward, the exclamations of the people in the group filled the air.

Knowing that being hit with the immense force of an adult kangaroo would surely kill him, the old man closed his eyes and awaited death.

Despite that, after a short wait the old man realized that he was safe and unharmed, and hence, opened his eyes. Instead of seeing a red kangaroo in front of him, he saw that the red kangaroo that had rushed towards him earlier was currently on the ground with blood gushing out of its neck.

Ah Ow had knocked the red kangaroo aside and had bitten it on the neck.

Although the red kangaroo was very strong and was struggling to get back up, the deep cut on its neck was causing its life force to rapidly slip away. Consequently, when it turned around and tried to flee, it was not able to hop as quickly as before.

Old John promptly raised his rifle, and another gunshot could be heard. Because the red kangaroo was closer to him this time, the bullet struck the red kangaroo and caused it to collapse to the ground!

Seeing their friend brought down by a wolf and then shot by a human, the other kangaroos, who were initially watching the commotion from a distance, were frightened by the sight and hurriedly fled in panic.

The red kangaroos fled at an astonishingly fast speed and quickly vanished.

However, the red kangaroo that had run over toward them earlier was unable to flee. With its carotid artery severed by Ah Ow's bite and a fatal shot from Old John, the red kangaroo was already dead.

Li Du asked, ”What now? Continue our pursuit?”

Old John pointed at his leg and said, ”With our old arms and legs? Forget it, let's go back. We have fulfilled our quota today. We have hunted a kangaroo.”

The old man, who had been targeted by the kangaroo, had fallen buttocks-first onto the ground and was leaning on his rifle gasping for air.

”How are you, Clinton, old mate,” Eric walked over and asked.

While gasping for air, Old Clinton replied, ”I, I, I thought it was a dream. D*mn it, when the grim reaper approached me, I thought I was about to go. Really, I thought I was about to go.”

”Thank Li, here. Thank this good fella and his hound. He saved your life!”

”It was really dangerous earlier. Nonetheless, Li Du did great, and his hound was superb!”

”We are really silly. We should have raised hounds. With the help of hounds, it would be much easier to drive kangaroos away!”

After lifting himself up using his rifle as a support, Clinton vigorously shook Li Du's hand and said, ”Thank you for saving me, mate. Even though being old means that I have lived a full life, I do not wish to meet God yet, if possible.”

Li Du smiled. ”You don't have to thank me. Since we are now comrades, we ought to be helping each other.”

Clinton sighed. ”I initially just wanted to frighten them. Little did I know, I would be nearly frightened to death by them instead. Evidently, driving away kangaroos is not an easy job.”

Old John gave a hearty laugh and said, ”What's the matter old mate, were you scared out of your wits? Look at me, I killed one of those sons a b*tches earlier.”

”Well done, Old John. However, shouldn't the credit go to this hound?” Eric smiled.

Old John replied, ”Of course. Although part of the credit goes to the hound, part of the credit goes to me too, right? Haha, just kidding. This dog is really superb. What breed is it?”

Seeing people gazing at her, Ah Ow firmly wagged her tail before opening her mouth and barking, ”Ow wuff wuff!”

Li Du smiled. ”It's a Czech wolfdog.”

”Ah, Czech wolfdog. So this is one of those legendary Czech wolfdogs,” Eric marveled.

Having bagged a large kangaroo after setting out, they decided to go back.

Evidently, Clinton's close call had frightened them. As the old men were all frightened, they gave up on pursuing the large kangaroos, wanting to go back and recuperate.
