Chapter 15: The kite kills the pheasant, this business is beyond the scope!

The Great Blue Kites have been steadily stabilizing their hunting success rate, and their success rate is still maintained at a terrifying 100%. Every time Yue Feng selects a target and takes action, he never misses.

The more you release the eagle, the stronger its hunting confidence becomes. When we caught the last little female flying dragon bird just now, we released the eagle from about thirty meters away, and still caught it in one round!
Climbing a mountain is not the same as walking on a flat road. Yue Feng, who was a little tired, found a patch of grass to sit down and rest for a while. He also fed the big blue kite with two bites of meat and some water. After about fifteen minutes, he crossed the rocky beach, crossed the hill and arrived at another hilltop.

Yue Feng has made up his mind at this moment. The eagle is already in full condition. He will let it stroll in the mountains for a day to see how many prey it can catch!
For the next two hours, Yue Feng walked eastward along the ridge of the second slope and measured another hilltop with his legs.

The harvest was very good, and we caught six flying dragons and two sand chickens.

By 11 a.m., Yue Feng’s backpack was already filled with thirteen prey.

The falcon in his hand was still full of fighting spirit and showed no signs of fatigue!
Walking in the mountains is very tiring. The porridge and steamed buns he had in the morning were digested in a few hours. Yue Feng was hungry and his legs were a little tired, so he found a shady place to rest for a while. He ate two steamed buns he brought from home with the water and pickled vegetables in the military canteen.

People need to eat and rest, and the eagle also needs to rest. Yue Feng spread out his hands and let the eagle stand on his tiger’s mouth. He replenished its water and gave it two bites of meat. One man and one eagle, they rested temporarily on the mountain.

After about half an hour, the eagle made a splash and Yue Feng had rested enough. He flattened the eagle again, got on the bag, and continued on his way!
This walk took another two and a half hours.

At noon, both the sand chickens and the flying dragon birds were hiding in the shade of trees or bushes to rest, so Yue Feng’s harvest from falconry was much less. He only caught three flying dragons and two fat sand chickens.

The number of prey in the backpack had increased to eighteen, and the socks he brought were not enough. Yue Feng gritted his teeth and stuffed two sand chickens into one sock. Fortunately, the socks were elastic, otherwise they would have been a little too big to fit.

Before he knew it, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon. It would take at least forty minutes to walk back to the village from the current ridge. Yue Feng decided to end the battle for today and go home to rest!
Having made up his mind, Yue Feng gave the eagle some more water. The half sand chicken that was left yesterday had been pecked to pieces by the eagle. Yue Feng was not in a hurry to feed the eagle on the mountain and would wait until he returned home.

In this way, Yue Feng walked down the ridge with the eagle flat on his back, heading towards home.

When they were still dozens of meters away from the narrow path leading down the mountain, Yue Feng suddenly discovered traces of a small group of sand chickens.

Next to a fallen tree, many new branches sprouted out, and a few sand chickens were taking a mud bath under the branches.

Yue Feng would definitely not let go of this opportunity. About twenty meters away from the bottom of the tree, Yue Feng directly attacked the eagle.

The next second, the Great Green Kites were seen flying straight towards their prey.

Just when Yue Feng thought that the small scene was secure, suddenly there was a flapping sound from the side, like the flapping of wings of a helicopter taking off.

Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!
A male pheasant weighing at least three pounds suddenly emerged from the bushes not far away and flew straight towards the opposite valley.

The Great Green Kitten was at most three meters away from its original target. After noticing the pheasant taking off, it didn’t know what this stupid eagle was thinking. It gave up the pheasant that was within its grasp, turned in flight and chased after the rooster.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, the kite is eating dried pheasant, this business is beyond the scope!
In normal falconry, if you want to catch an adult wild rooster weighing two or three pounds, you must use at least a chicken hawk (a male goshawk weighing about 1.23 to 1.5 pounds) or a rabbit hawk (weighing about 2.1 to 2.5 pounds). A large rooster has enough physical strength, and it is not difficult to fly several hundred meters with a seven-pound kite on its back. If the hawk chases the rooster without sparing any effort, it is easy to catch up, but it is very difficult to subdue it.

This big blue kite is a bit silly!

Although the rooster is also a chicken and is under the control of the eagle, there is a huge difference in weight after all. It is not easy to catch an adult pheasant with a 7-pound body.

The eagle that has just grown up cannot be destroyed like this.

Thinking of this, Yue Feng no longer cared about anything else and ran towards the direction where the eagle flew.

Fortunately, the big blue kite launched a surprise attack and blasted the pheasant away when it was about to fly to the destination, so the actual pursuit distance was not long.

The male pheasant flew less than fifteen meters before it was caught by a big blue kite.

They did try to grab the pheasant, but the size difference was too great, and the Great Green Kites had no way of controlling the male pheasant. The eagle and the pheasant fell from the sky to the ground, and started to struggle madly in the grass.

When Yue Feng arrived there panting, he was completely stunned by the scene before him.

The big blue kite used a double-clawed tiger-head-holding posture to hold the pheasant’s head tightly, with all its weight pressed on the male pheasant’s head. Its wings and tail were fully stretched out, barely maintaining its body balance.

The big rooster certainly would not sit still and wait for death. It kept shaking its head and jumping, trying to break free from control.

When Yue Feng walked to one meter away from the pheasant, the male pheasant seemed to be frightened and paused for half a second. Taking advantage of this gap in time, the Great Blue Kitten lowered its head and bit the pheasant’s left eye.

One bite directly blinded its left eye, and blood flowed out on the spot. The pheasant struggled even harder!
Yue Feng hurriedly took action to control the pheasant. After pinning the pheasant down, he looked up and down at the Great Green Kites that were stepping on the pheasant’s head and pecking at it madly!
It is easy to hurt the eagle when dealing with heavy goods. Not to mention major external injuries, even if a large feather is broken, Yue Feng will feel sad for a long time.

This guy is too fierce! Not only does the double-clawed tiger catch an adult male pheasant by the head, it will also peck at its eyes when it gets the chance. Yue Feng has lived two lives as a human being. In his previous life, he released hawks for at least a dozen years, but he has never heard of anyone tying up such a fierce kite!
The single hawk picked up a pheasant, what a treasure!

After a quick check, Yue Feng was relieved to find that the Great Green Kites was intact and unharmed.

I was planning to go down the mountain and go home, but I didn’t expect to catch another male pheasant. Today’s outing was definitely a complete success.

Although the male pheasant was large, its meat was not as delicious as that of the sand chicken and the flying dragon. As the first pheasant caught by the big blue kite, Yue Feng did not intend to use the meat to replace the pheasant and bring it back alive.

The young eagle dared to do big things, which was a rare talent. Now that it had succeeded, the eagle handler wanted to increase the eagle’s confidence through encouragement, so he had to give the eagle a good meal.

Thinking of this, Yue Feng took out a small hunting knife from his bag and cut the pheasant’s neck directly at the carotid artery.
