Chapter 960 African Buffalo (2/2)
Most of them were three meters long and one and a half meters high. They were covered with short brown and black hair and looked like little tanks.
It was not uncommon to find African buffalo around puddles. They were spread all over Africa and had some of the highest demand for water resources among land animals.
Li Du recalled that African buffaloes needed to drink at least once a day. Their herds were never far away from water. If one wanted to hunt buffalo, they just needed to find a water source.
However, hunting buffaloes was not easy. Despite their stupidity, buffaloes were actually among the most dangerous animals in Africa, no less so than black rhinos, hippos, and crocodiles.
According to statistics from some animal protection organizations, African buffaloes were among the animals that killed the most people in Africa, ranking among the top three.
As soon as they stepped into the area, a buffalo spotted them, mooed and limped toward them.
The lion hunter wiped the barrel of his gun easily and asked, ”Would you like some beef?”
Li Du smiled and said, ”I heard that African rabbits taste good. I think I'll have some for dinner.”
The lion hunter shook his head. ”We spent a hundred thousand dollars coming in, Li. I know you have a kind heart, but this is nature.”
The buffalo moved firmly towards them. It had an injured leg, which made it all the more dangerous. Wounded buffalo were insecure and especially aggressive.
Led by the limping buffalo, the others followed and rushed angrily in the direction of Li Du and his party.
Ah Ow and the other little ones looked at each other. They were too small to face even one buffalo, let alone a herd coming towards them.
Ali was very aggressive. He rubbed his paws and glared, preparing to jump.
Li Du, reacting quickly, lifted it by its neck and picked it up. ”Withdraw, guys, let's not take risks.”
Once surrounded by buffalo, even a male lion would be in trouble. An enraged buffalo is terrible.
Li Du didn't want to take any chances, and he wasn't interested in killing these animals. He was not enthusiastic, and would not have been among the party at all if it hadn't been arranged by the lion hunter.
Lion hunter had the Zulu hunting nature in his bones. Seeing Li Du and his party retreat, he raised the gun quickly, aimed and pulled the trigger. A shot went off and a calf's head was dismembered.
The calf tottered two steps and fell upon the ground. The cow next to it went mad. It started at Li Du and the others with wide, bloodshot eyes. It started to run and charged at them with its head down.
Li Du scolded the lion hunter in his heart. We came on foot, so why provoke the buffalos?
After casually firing, the lion hunter turned and said decisively, ”The cow is going to take her revenge. Why are you still here? Run!”
As he spoke, he ran like a maniac.
Li Du could hardly help cursing. If you knew you would anger the cow, why did you have to shoot? And why didn't you give a hint before that?
There was no time to complain, though. He ran as fast as he could.
Seeing this, Ah Meow and the others did not hesitate. They turned around and began to gallop. While they were not easily scared, the way the cow charged at them could make the little ones wet themselves with fear.
