Chapter 221 Black Hawk vs. Falcon

Hearing the loud and sharp cry of the big black eagle, Yue Feng immediately raised his head almost as a conditioned reflex.

What’s going on? Has the black eagle found its prey?

I haven’t seen the black eagle attack yet. If it finds prey on the ground, it will dive down immediately.

Just when Yue Feng looked up and saw nothing, Xiao Wu, who had good eyesight, pulled Yue Feng and said, “Brother, look over there, isn’t that an eagle? Isn’t that why the big black eagle is calling?”

Yue Feng looked in the direction Xiaowu pointed, and sure enough, a black shadow not much bigger than the tip of a needle was flying quite high in the sky.

Did this happen by accident? Did this happen by accidentally entering another bird of prey’s territory?

The shadow was so small that Yue Feng couldn’t even see the specific outline with his naked eyes, let alone distinguish its type.

This kind of terrain scene with water, plants and a relatively high density of animals is indeed a place where raptors like to stay. It should be the appearance of the black eagle that has invaded the territory of other raptors.

But it didn’t matter. In the fight between birds of prey, as long as they were not at the crushing level, they usually focused on driving away the other. Besides, with the terrifying quality of the black eagle, even the peregrine falcon with the fastest diving speed would find it difficult to take advantage of the black eagle. Yue Feng was not worried.

Just as several people looked up at the eagle, the black shadow at a very high altitude swooped down, aiming directly at the big black eagle.

The big black eagle immediately noticed something was wrong, and the moment another bird of prey approached him, he immediately did a somersault in the air with his claws raised to meet the enemy. The attacker, who was originally planning to dive down, dodged less than two meters from the big black eagle after seeing the sharp claws displayed by the big black eagle, and drew an arc diagonally downward.

At this time, Yue Feng could roughly see the outline of the other eagle, with pointed wings and a folded tail. Its body was half a size smaller than the big black eagle.

From the fuzzy outline, we can tell that this is also a falcon, but we can’t see more details, so we don’t know what specific species it is for the time being.

The most dangerous stage was over, and the big black eagle immediately turned around and chased after the falcon that took the initiative to attack.

What a joke! The big black eagle is a gyrfalcon, one of the top raptor predators. It has excellent comprehensive qualities and is a hexagonal warrior with no weaknesses. Even large raptors such as golden eagles dare not touch its whiskers.

Now that he is out hunting with his master, he is provoked by another eagle. How can he tolerate this?
The falcon that actively attacks during the dive does not seem to be slow, but once the dive to exchange height for speed ends and it flies level, the speed difference becomes apparent.

Even if the opponent still has a slight inertia advantage, the big black eagle’s pursuit speed is still faster than the opponent’s departure speed. From adjusting its posture to starting the pursuit, the straight-line distance is only a few dozen meters. In the blink of an eye, the two eagles are in head-on confrontation again.

However, this time it was the Big Black Hawk that took the initiative in pursuit, and the attacker just now became the one who escaped.

The two eagles were getting closer and closer, and the other eagle also turned over and showed its claws. The big black eagle accelerated briefly again, surpassed the other eagle that had turned over, and then adjusted its direction in the air with its tail feathers, rising more than ten or twenty meters upwards. When the other eagle resumed its normal flying posture, it folded its wings and stabbed at the other eagle like a spear.

Snapped!
With a kick in the air, the bird’s feathers flew everywhere.

As expected of a top-notch gyrfalcon, the big black eagle successfully kicked the attacker in the back with just one kick.

The wild eagle that was hit staggered and flapped its wings a few times, then lost its flying posture and fell from the sky while spinning.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng’s heart was shocked and he immediately whistled.

The power of a dive attack with a relative height difference of ten meters is not as terrifying as that of a dive to the ground from more than a hundred meters. If a kick in the air does not hit the vital parts, it may still be saved. However, if the big black eagle kicks the injured guy again or bites him, the eagle will be 100% destroyed.

Yue Feng blew the whistle urgently, asking the big black eagle to give up the attack, and then see if he could rescue the injured raptor.

After long-term training, the conditioned reflex of whistling to call an eagle had already penetrated into the Big Black Eagle’s habit. Hearing the master’s whistle, the Big Black Eagle gave up the idea of ​​continuing to capture the wild eagle and fell straight to Yue Feng’s position.

It folded its wings and fell from the air. When it was close to Yue Feng’s arm, it spread out its wings and tail feathers to cushion its descent and landed steadily on Yue Feng’s arm.

At this moment, the big black eagle was like a victorious general. It landed on Yue Feng’s arm, shook its feathers, and then screamed “Ga Ga Ga” with full energy.

“Alright, alright, alright! I know you won! Big Black Hawk is awesome!” Yue Feng gave enough emotional value to this somewhat childish response of seeking credit, and while praising repeatedly, he took out a piece of meat wrapped in cabbage leaves from his cross pocket.

After eating two rolls of meat in a row, Big Black Hawk finally calmed down a little from his previous excited state.

“Oh my god! Black Hawk’s defense and counterattack just now were so awesome. He crushed us from all angles!”

“Yes, it was a crushing blow. He discovered my sneak attack and switched from defense to offense. His pursuit speed was much faster than the other eagle!”

“That eagle must have been kicked to death by the Black Hawk. It fell into the bushes in front!” Several friends witnessed this sudden aerial encounter. The Black Hawk reversed the situation and fought back in just one round. The feeling of watching the battle live made everyone’s heart beat faster and they were very excited.

Yue Feng pointed to the direction where the injured eagle fell and said, “Xiao Tao, go look over there and see if you can find the eagle. If it’s not dead, bring it here! Xiao Wen, you and Xiao Wu should round up our dogs first, so they won’t be torn apart by the eagle!”

“Watch me!!” Xiao Tao strode towards the direction where the eagle fell.

The area was about seventy or eighty meters away, and with Xiao Tao’s long legs, he quickly reached the area.

“Still alive! This eagle bites people!!” Xiao Tao shouted.

When he heard an eagle biting someone, Yue Feng knew it was definitely a falcon. Eagles like to use their claws and falcons like to use their beaks. This is a natural habit and cannot be changed.

So, Yue Feng touched the black eagle’s breast feathers, took out his hat, temporarily put the hat on the black eagle, and then walked towards Xiao Tao holding the eagle.

When he got close, Yue Feng saw the eagle lying on the ground with a look of fear in its eyes, and his eyes lit up.

“Damn, it’s still a rare thing!”

“Xiao Feng, what kind of eagle is this?” Uncle Zhao quickly followed. After seeing that the bird of prey on the ground was somewhat similar to the big black eagle, he became somewhat excited.

“Hunter falcon! Also called the rabbit tiger! The little cousin of the gyrfalcon! This is a female, a chick from this summer, a sub-adult! Xiao Tao, don’t stretch out your hand, you hold the big black hawk, I’ll do it!”

Yue Feng greeted him and handed the big black eagle with the cap on to Xiao Tao to hold temporarily, then Yue Feng took off the sleeves on his arms.

With his left hand, he waved the sleeve above the falcon’s head to attract its attention, and with his right hand, he quickly grabbed the eagle’s body.

Quack, quack, quack!
The peregrine falcon also made a cawing sound, but the sound was a little hoarse, not as loud and powerful as that of the black eagle.

Yue Feng succeeded and immediately folded the eagle’s wings together and grabbed the falcon’s claws with both hands.

The captured falcon tried to bite people, but its neck was limited in length and Yue Feng was hiding on purpose, so he couldn’t reach it.

“Uncle, please give me a hand and take out the small cloth bag used to hold bear bile from my bag. It’s in the leftmost corner.” Yue Feng called out again, and Uncle Zhao immediately lent a hand to help and took out the cloth bag that was sewn at home.

“Hit it on the head! It has a powerful mouth. Cover its eyes. I’ll check its injuries!” said Yue Feng.

Uncle Zhao put the small cloth bag on the falcon’s head, and then deliberately pulled it down. With its eyes covered, the eagle finally became obedient.

Yue Feng checked the eagle’s wings, then looked at its claws and abdomen. There were no major problems with these vital parts. Finally, when he checked the back, he saw a little bit of blood.

He blew away the feathers that were close to his body with his mouth and searched around. Soon, a wound caused by a scratch from the big black eagle’s hind claws was revealed.

As an eyewitness, Yue Feng saw with his own eyes that after the big black eagle gained the initiative, it flew more than ten meters into the air, then swooped down and kicked the falcon, causing a lot of feathers to fly off. This wound should have been caused by that kick.

Falcons and other birds of prey mainly rely on the tiger’s paw pad behind their feet to attack their prey, and do not use the nails on their claws as their main means of attack. These are just scratches caused during the attack.

“There’s a wound here, but it shouldn’t be too serious. Uncle, please rub some cigarette foam on it and we’ll treat it a little to stop the bleeding. When we get back, it will heal in two days!”

Under Yue Feng’s command, Uncle Zhao quickly rubbed some cigarette foam and applied it to the wound. The wound, which was not big to begin with, stopped bleeding in a short while!
“Now that the eagle has recovered from its injuries, can it still work?” Uncle Zhao did not try to make up his mind and made no secret of his desire to have the eagle.

Yue Feng smiled and nodded: “Yes, the kick just now didn’t hurt the vital parts. At most, there are some minor bruises and internal injuries. It will recover after a period of rest! What’s the matter, sir? Do you want this eagle?”

Uncle Zhao nodded and said, “It will take more than half a year until next autumn to fly the eagle. It’s fate that we met. You already have a big black eagle, so you can’t use this eagle. I can just use it to practice with it first!”

There was something wrong with what the old man said. It was snowing and icy now, and Yue Feng really had no place to catch a hawk. When he encountered a hunting falcon, which was a close relative of the gyrfalcon, it was hard for Uncle Zhao not to be tempted.

“Okay, I’ll make you a set of hats, fake baits and other eagle equipment to train this thing. You can try raising it first! Although this eagle suffered a great loss at the hands of the big black eagle, it’s not a bad eagle from its appearance!”

“What do you think of this appearance?”
