Chapter 1389 Mountain in the Morning (1/2)

Li Du was very distressed because he did not expect to meet such trouble so soon after he entered the mountain range.

Ah Bai was in good condition. The bullet didn't hit straight, but only grazed some parts of his little body. Therefore, after some urgent treatment, the little monkey's life was not in danger. However, someone else would have to carry him for some time.

However, the pellets had done him a great deal of damage, and Ah Bai was listless and sleepy and had lost much of his usual liveliness. He went straight to sleep as soon as they got back to camp.

Li Du touched Ah Meow's head and handed him a piece of fresh fish.

The other side would not willingly give up after such humiliation. Judging from some things they said, the poaching gang included more than just the six people they had seen.

Li Du's camp by the lake was too visible, open to attacks from the other side. It could cause a lot of trouble and was potentially very dangerous.

In addition, they had small-caliber automatic rifles, which were forbidden for civilians to carry.

After listening to Li Du's concerns, Lu Guan said, ”Would they dare to call the police? Those bastards are poachers. If they call the cops, they will be arrested first.”

Brother Wolf said, ”Actually, I don't know their identity. I said they were poachers to threaten them a little.”

”But they didn't deny it,” said Lu Guan.

This didn't prove anything, however. They were confused and, thanks to Ah Meow, in extreme pain. They might not have dared to contradict the scary people with the rifles.

What could a leisurely trip turn into such a mess?

Before it was completely dark, Li Du and the others had a quick meal, packed up their tents, and went on to the mountains.

Many trees grew in the Blue Ridge area, and the forest was so thick that they gave up their bikes and went up on foot instead.

On their way, Li Du saw more trees, such as maple, hawthorn, oak, birch, and so on.

These trees were green and blooming, creating a delightful atmosphere under the setting sun.

Besides, there were wildflowers such as heather, blueberries, holly, roses, and cuckoos, creating a gorgeous colorful carpet.

Brother Wolf found a relatively empty spot in the woods. By this time it was dark, and they could not go on.

Lu Guan asked, ”Are there any wild animals here? Let's make a bonfire.”

”What animals? Any large predators have been gone for a long time, probably went extinct a long time ago,” Li Du shook his head carelessly.

”There are still wolves in the mountains of northern Canada,” said Brother Wolf, ”But there aren't any here. The boss is right.”

Not long after their conversation ended, the bushes in the distance shook and a few large animals appeared.

Ah Meow and Ah Ow stared in their direction. Li Du quickly turned on his flashlight and several white-tailed deer appear in the light.

The white-tailed deer, startled by a sudden flash of light in the darkness, disappeared without a trace, leaving only shaking bushes behind them.
