I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Before walking a few steps, Ogata and A-Machi suddenly heard some strange noises.

After Xunsheng looked over, it turned out to be two deer.

These two deer have long and large antlers on the top of their heads, and there are some white spots on the smoked brown hair.

The two deer also seem to have spotted Ogata and Acho.

Without even looking at Ogata and A-Machi, they spread their hooves and quickly left the field of vision of the two.

Looking at the two deer leaving in a hurry, Ah-Ming sighed with emotion:

"There are so many deer in Ezo"

During the five days in the hinterland of the Ezo region north of the Matsumae Domain, Ogata and A-Machi did not see anyone other than the two of them.

Be it Kazuto, Ezo, or Lucia, Ogata and the others didn't see any of them.

On the contrary, I have seen a lot of animals.

So far, the animal that Ogata and A-Machi have seen the most is deer.Followed by squirrels, rabbits and other small animals.

Deer can be seen almost everywhere, and you can see deer every time you walk a certain distance.

Because they saw deer so many times, Ogata and A-machi were no longer surprised after seeing the deer.

"The two deer just now are really big." Atachi said casually, "It should be the biggest deer we have seen so far."

"Speaking of big. This kind of deer is not considered big." Ogata smiled, "I heard that in the countries of Tang Tu and Nanman, there is a kind of deer called moose. These deer are called big."

"Moose are basically 6 feet to 8 feet tall in terms of shoulder height."

"Ah, I've heard about this kind of animal before." A-cho nodded, "If I have a chance, I really want to see with my own eyes whether this moose is really as big as the rumors say."

"In addition to moose, I also want to see what a unicorn looks like."

A-Ming touched his swan neck.

"I heard that unicorns have very long necks, as long as three or four."

"And I heard that as long as you touch the unicorn, you can get the auspiciousness of the unicorn, and you will become lucky for a while."

"I don't know if it's really so magical. If I have a chance, I really want to see Qilin with my own eyes."

Travel time has always been boring.

So in order to pass the time, Ogata and A-Machi often chatted casually about some random topics like now.

Although Ogata has never seen a moose with his own eyes, he has seen related photos of a moose standing next to a car on the Internet.

With the moose as a reference, the small car became petite.

This picture, which made Ogata intuitively feel the hugeness of the moose, gave Ogata a great impact.

Although the "kylin" that A-cho mentioned just now has such a domineering name, it is actually just a very common animal in Africa.

This animal is the giraffe.

Why the giraffe is called a unicorn? It all started with an eunuch named Zheng He.

When Zheng He traveled to East Africa in the early Ming Dynasty, he found giraffes in East Africa.

Because the appearance of the giraffe is very similar to the appearance of the unicorn recorded in the book, Zheng He believed that the giraffe was the legendary auspicious unicorn, and happily brought the unicorn back to his country.

In this way, Zheng He succeeded in misleading the Japanese name for the giraffe.

As a time traveler, Ogata naturally knew that the so-called unicorn was just an ordinary animal, not a legendary auspicious beast, and he would not feel auspicious when touching it.

But Ogata is also inconvenient to explain the true face of Qilin to Ah Ding, and he can't bear to break Ah Ding's beautiful fantasy about Kirin.

Therefore, Ogata could only show a slightly weird smile, and said casually:

"I can only hope that one day in the future, the shogunate will also be able to send individuals across the ocean like the Ming Dynasty in Tang Dynasty, and bring back one or two unicorns like Zheng He did."

"In this way, we can also see the style of Qilin."

"Well, compared to the unicorn." A-cho pondered for a moment, "I want the shogunate to bring back lions and tigers."

"Lions and tigers?" Ogata asked, "Why?"

"Because lions and tigers are also animals that we don't have in Japan." Atachi said, "I've heard that lions and tigers are very ferocious animals since I was a child."

"I don't know who is more ferocious, a lion or a tiger, or a boar or a bear."

"I think the wild boar should be stronger. There should be no animal in this world more fierce than the wild boar."

"Huh? Have you ever encountered a wild boar?" Ogata asked back.

"Yeah. Before leaving Shiranui, I met a wild boar in a certain mission."

"The companion who was in charge of that mission with me at the time was accidentally attacked by this wild boar."

"He had been lying in bed for half a year before he could get out of bed."

Japan has neither lions nor tigers.

Although there are no lions and tigers, Japan has wild boars.

Because there are no other equally ferocious animals for comparison, and the wild boar is indeed quite ferocious, so an idiom related to the wild boar was born: the pig advances by leaps and bounds.

It means to go forward bravely.

"Fortunately, there are no wild boars here in Ezo." A-Ming shrank his neck, "I heard that even the most experienced hunters dare not take wild boars casually."

"The wild boar is stunned. If you provoke it, you won't stop if you don't use its fangs to crush you to death."

"So when hunting wild boars, either the wild boar will die or you will die. If you can't kill the wild boar with one blow, then you are finished."

"Although there are no wild boars here in Ezo, there are equally terrifying animals like bears." Ogata smiled wryly.

When I was living in Nishikino Town, I heard a lot of stories from the "former hunter" named Shimasuke when he used to hunt.

The most heard is the story of hunting bears.

Shimasuke always told the audience like Ogata that bears are extremely dangerous, and even the most experienced Mataki would not dare to be careless when hunting bears.

"That's true," Ah-Ming muttered, "Although I haven't seen a bear, I heard that a bear can smash people into pieces with just one slap."

"Although bears are scary, they are actually not that dangerous." Ogata comforted, "I think we need to pay more attention to wolves than bears."

"People are afraid of bears, and bears are afraid of people."

"As long as you don't provoke the bear, under normal circumstances, the bear will not take the initiative to attack humans."

"And it's winter now, and the bears are basically hibernating."

"You seem to know a lot about bears." A-machi cast an admiring gaze at Ogata, "Have you made any special investigations?"

Being looked at by A-Machi with such eyes made Ogata a little happy, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Haven't investigated, but I've heard of the habits of these bears from a former hunter."

What Ogata said just now is just copying the knowledge that "former hunter" Shimasuke told him.

"When you meet a bear, you can't pretend to be dead, and you can't run away. You can't run away from the bear. You should stand still, look directly at the bear, and it is best to talk to the bear."

Being looked at by A-Machi with such eyes, Ogata's talk also came up.

Talking eloquently, he plagiarized all the knowledge he learned from listening to Shimasuke tell the hunting story, no, it was relayed one by one.

"As long as you stand still and look directly at the bear, you can send a signal to the bear that you are harmless and will not pose a threat to your life."

"After the bear confirms that his life will not be violated, he will leave obediently."

"But not all bears will not actively attack humans."

"There is a kind of bear that will attack humans even if humans don't provoke it."

"That's the bear that ate human flesh."

"After a bear eats human flesh, it can no longer eat other food. It can only eat human flesh for life."

"So in the face of the kind of bear that has eaten human flesh, it is useless even if you stand still. They are happier if you stand still."

"A bear who has eaten human flesh, will he have to eat human flesh for the rest of his life?" Ah-Ming shrank his neck again, "It's terrible."

"This kind of bear that has eaten human flesh is very rare."

Ogata smiled and shrugged comfortingly.

"Out of a hundred bears, maybe not one has ever eaten human flesh."

"So the probability of encountering this kind of bear is very high"

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

Before Ogata finished speaking, a roar that seemed to shatter the surrounding waiting trees suddenly reached Ogata and Atachi's ears.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned their heads following the sound.

I saw a big brown bear rushing towards the two of them from the southwest with all four palms on the ground!

This bear rushing straight towards them made Ogata involuntarily recall that the big truck in his previous life was the same in terms of speed and pressure.

In the previous life, Ogata had seen some bear-related introductions on the Internet, and the sprint speed of bears could run side by side with large trucks at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

At this moment, Ogata really felt that this introduction was not scribbling.

In just an instant, the bear who was still a long distance away from Ogata and A-Machi rushed to the two of them, then raised the bear paw, which was bigger than Ogata's head, and patted Ogata.

If it were an ordinary person, there would be nothing else to do except wait for his head to be crushed like a big watermelon.

But Ogata is not an ordinary person after all.

After the bear raised its paw, Xufang, whose reflexes and agility were far superior to ordinary people, immediately hugged A-ding beside him, and rushed towards the snow field beside him.

He avoided the bear's paw in time.

The bear's paw didn't smash Ogata's head, but smashed the big tree behind Ogata and A-Ming that was as thick as two bowls.

Facing the bear's paw, such a thick tree trunk was easily smashed like glass.

Missing one hit, the bear immediately unleashed a second.

It raised its other front paw, and pressed heavily on Ogata and the two who had flung aside holding A-Ming just now.

Ogata, who continued to hold Ah-machi tightly, rolled on the snow and avoided the attack of the big bear again.

The bear's paw slapped the place where Ogata and the two fell down just now, splashing a lot of snowflakes.

In this dodge, Ogata directly dodged to a place several steps away from Big Bear.

Before the big bear launched a new attack, the two quickly got up.

Ah Ding took out her Su Ying and pointed the gun at the big bear.

When A-Machi was about to pull the trigger, Ogata immediately yelled at A-Machi:

"Don't hit it on the head! Hit it in the stomach!"

At this moment, when the "bear hunting advice" heard from the "former hunter" Shimasuke came to Ogata's mind, he must not attack the bear's head.

Because the bear's skull is very hard, almost as hard as steel, even with an iron cannon, it may not be able to penetrate the bear's skull.

After hearing this reminder from Ogata, although he didn't know why, A-Machi quickly adjusted the muzzle position of the gun, aimed at the bear's belly, and fired 4 bullets in Su Ying's barrel in one go.

At the same time that Machi took out Suzakura, Ogata also took out his Kasumi Nagi.

He wants this bear to experience the power of human beings!

bang, bang, bang

Ogata and A-machi fired all the bullets in Kasumagi and Suo Sakura in one go.

Eight gunshots broke the silence of the woods.

This bear is so big and so close to the two of them, even someone like Ogata who has never practiced marksmanship has no reason to miss it.

All 8 bullets sank into the bear's stomach.

"Ooooooooooooo!!"

Painful roars erupted from the bear's huge mouth.

The eight bullets failed to kill the bear immediately.

While roaring, he raised his two front palms high, then swung his right palm, and slapped Ogata on the head again.

The 8 bullets just now are still useful.
