Chapter 179: Ruthless

Seeing this, some people may be curious, why does this eagle have this habit?

Yue Feng has also thought about this problem.

It’s quite helpless to say. The core reason why this kind of eagle with deadly claws develops this attack habit is because it is relatively small in size and weak in physical strength, so it can only use some tricks to ensure a relative hunting success rate.

Just think about it, a giant red eagle with an iron back can tame a rabbit by just grabbing its butt. This is purely due to its good physical fitness, strong body and brutal fighting skills.

To put it in a more understandable metaphor, this is a muscular man who can win the battle head-on without any skills.

The weight of young eagles is about 200 to 300 grams lighter than the average weight, which results in their innate agility but lack of strength.

How can this situation improve the success rate of hunting?
Only more tricky methods can be used. This method of directly grabbing the throat and trachea with the death claw has been gradually honed and matured in actual survival combat in the wild.

This is the skinny assassin who is short in stature and lacks strength. What he lacks in strength he makes up for with skills. He grabs the vital point of the neck and kills the person with one blow, ending the battle in the shortest possible time.

This time, because the little eagle caught the rabbit without much effort, Yue Feng did not plan to withdraw his troops and go home immediately.

He walked steadily up to the eagle and took out the eagle food he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

He cut the rabbit’s calf with a leg stick, then fed the little eagle two rolls of meat with a meat roll dipped in rabbit blood. After the eagle had eaten two rolls of meat, Yue Feng covered the eagle’s claws with his sleeves and fed it the third roll of meat. The little eagle soon loosened its claws.

The operation of feeding the eagle by changing the food back and forth took less than three minutes in total. By the time the eagle loosened its claws, the rabbit had been strangled to the point of breathing in more than out.

Yue Feng used his body to block the eagle’s sight and handed the young rabbit weighing about three and a half kilograms to Xiao Tao next to him.

“The eagle is really efficient in catching the rabbit that came out from under your feet when you play football! Hey, something’s wrong, brother, how did you kill the rabbit?”

Xiao Tao took the rabbit and habitually wanted to take off its hind legs to prevent it from being stuffed into the bag. However, when he took a quick look, he found that the rabbit was gasping for breath and was almost dying.

Yue Feng shook his head and explained: “It was the eagle that pinched it, I didn’t kill it on purpose!”

“Is this eagle so powerful? Even our Iron-backed Red Eagle was strangled to death by a rabbit without even trying to find food?” Xiao Tao was somewhat unbelievable when he heard Yue Feng’s words.

Yue Feng explained: “The eagle’s claws were vicious. When it was hammering the pile, it kicked the rabbit over and made it lose its balance. It saw an opportunity and clawed directly at the rabbit’s neck. Didn’t you notice just now? As soon as the eagle pressed down on the rabbit, the rabbit screamed immediately!”

“Now that you mention it, it’s true!
It didn’t even put up a symbolic struggle just now. I was thinking that it was lucky to have encountered a stupid rabbit, and it defeated it in one round!
Fortunately, this eagle was given as a gift. If we used it ourselves, it would be difficult to catch live prey when we went out hunting!” Xiao Tao said, scratching his head.

“This eagle has a vicious claw and flies very fast! Let’s rest for a few minutes, wait for the eagle to recover, and then try to release another one to see if it works!”

Xiao Tao looked up at the eagle on Yue Feng’s arm and asked, “On the first day of becoming an eagle, you only do two jobs? Aren’t you afraid of being killed by the eagle?”

“It’s okay. I didn’t even have to put in much effort to catch it! I mainly wanted to see the eagle’s ability. It was just a rabbit that was kicked out of the game. The pursuit distance was too short, so I couldn’t see many details!”

“That’s true. From the time the rabbit was blasted out to the time it was captured, it took only the blink of an eye. The battle was over in less than ten meters!

This doesn’t look like a mature eagle at all. The Red Ironback we have at home can only be as efficient as this one at best!”

“This eagle is ruthless, but I guess it would have a harder time if it encountered a larger cat!
The rabbits in the fields around us have been caught by us every now and then for half a winter. The remaining rabbits have more or less been caught by hawks. I want to see if this little hawk can catch these big rabbits weighing more than four pounds!”

“Okay, then I’ll listen to you! Wherever you say, we’ll go there. We’re familiar with all the places around here!”

“Take a walk around the garden first, and then tell me if there’s nothing else!”

……

In this way, the two brothers squatted in the wild and chatted for five minutes. Soon the little eagle loosened its feathers. Seeing this, Yue Feng stood up from the ground holding the eagle.

“Let’s go and keep looking!”

At the command, Xiao Tao, a qualified driver, started working again, and drove forward almost side by side with Yue Feng.

I walked around the vegetable garden for a while, but no new rabbits were driven out.

Just when Yue Feng thought that this scene was hopeless and was about to change the battlefield, suddenly, a rabbit rushed out from under a pile of weeds that he had already rushed over.

“Cat! Behind!”

The moment Xiao Tao spotted the rabbit out of the corner of his eye, he immediately moved sideways to avoid Yue Feng’s sight. The rabbit was a fish that had escaped the net, and the straight-line distance from the place where it jumped up to the eagle in Yue Feng’s hand was at least 25 meters.

Hearing the call of “Cat”, Yue Feng turned his head and looked in the direction Xiao Tao was pointing. He immediately loosened the two eagles in his hands, and the small eagle on his arm flew out again at an extremely fast speed.

The pursuit distance this time was long, so Yue Feng saw it clearly. Even though he had seen the big black eagle’s phantom-like diving speed, Yue Feng still felt that the small eagle’s level flying speed was extremely fast.

Older falconers all said that purple eagles are more likely to produce good eagles. Yue Feng originally did not have high expectations for this slightly smaller small eagle, but after verification in actual combat, he could not help but sigh that the ancients were right.

At a distance of more than thirty meters, the little eagle caught up with it after several consecutive accelerations.

This rabbit must be an eagle’s escape. Facing the pursuit of the predator overhead, it ran away in an orderly manner. With a pull of the drawer and a few tricks, it immediately escaped the dive attack of the little eagle.

But it didn’t struggle for long. The eagle in the sky slightly adjusted its pursuit direction and soon caught up with it.

He tried the same trick again, but this time he failed to shake off the little eagle’s pursuit. The eagle grabbed his back and his fur flew everywhere.

It was the same recipe, the same taste. The rabbit lost its balance while running due to a swooping attack. Before it could turn over, the little eagle’s deadly claws came down again.

One claw pinched the rabbit’s throat and trachea, and the other claw directly grabbed the rabbit’s eyes.

The rabbit, whose lower body was completely unrestrained, wanted to struggle by kicking with its hind legs, but the little eagle was at the rabbit’s side and spread its wings and tail to maintain balance. The rabbit’s kicking hind legs did not touch the eagle’s angle at all, and after struggling several times, it gradually became motionless.

“Oh my god, this eagle flies so fast! I think it’s faster than our Ironback Red!”

Xiao Tao saw it clearly this time. Based on his usual experience of releasing hawks to catch rabbits, it would take at least two or three rounds to catch this kind of rabbit that could turn and change direction.

But today, the little eagle made only one mistake against the rabbit, and after quickly adjusting, he decided the outcome with one move and ended the battle.

Yue Feng walked up to Daying and saw this scene, his heart moved.

Damn, it was so brutal. One hand pinched the rabbit’s throat and the other grabbed its eyes. The rabbit’s left eye was blinded by the eagle’s claws.

“Look at where the eagle claw has landed!” Yue Feng turned sideways to give Xiao Tao next to him a clear view.

Xiao Tao came closer to take a look and couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Oh my goodness! This little eagle is small, but it’s really vicious! One claw pinches the throat, and the other claw digs the eyeball! What rabbit can withstand such harm! Brother, this eagle won’t attack people, right?”

Yue Feng smiled and said: “I definitely won’t attack anyone, as long as I hold on tight when feeding, there won’t be any problem!

Many older generations say that eagles like to grab people’s eyes, but this is purely based on imagination and nonsense.

How big is an eagle? How big is a human? Unless you are trying to rob its nest, an eagle can attack a human. In other scenarios, it is simply impossible!

This is a tough guy. If Zhang Hongbin takes him to curry favor with his old boss, it will definitely be enough!”

“Those eagles we caught this fall are all very capable, but when it comes to viciousness, this inconspicuous little eagle is still the most vicious!” Xiao Tao gave a very high evaluation of the little eagle.

Falcon, the meaning of falconry for humans is hunting.

Cruel may be a derogatory word when applied to a human, but when applied to a hunting falcon, it is a high compliment.

Anyway, the rabbit was almost strangled to death, and Yue Feng was not in a hurry to change the food immediately, so he said hello to Xiao Tao, and the two brothers squatted beside it and observed the eating behavior of the little eagle.

The little eagle seemed to know that he was pinching the rabbit’s vital points, so for about a minute, he kept locking the rabbit’s throat and grabbing its eyes without moving. The rabbit’s screams gradually became quieter, and soon there was more breathing in than breathing out, and the sound disappeared.

Feeling that the prey had stopped struggling, the little eagle tentatively lowered its head and pecked the corner of the rabbit’s eye, but the rabbit did not react.

The next second, the little eagle loosened its claws that were digging into the rabbit’s eyeballs and stepped on the rabbit’s forehead, then pried out the blinded eye in one bite.

Well, another eagle that likes to eat eyeballs!

The bloody eyeball was grabbed and quickly torn off and swallowed into the stomach. The second eye was not spared either. Soon, the rabbit’s head turned into two bloody holes where the eyes should have been.

After swallowing the two eyeballs, the little eagle began to pluck its feathers normally.

I saw it lowering and raising its head, pulling the hair on the rabbit’s neck at a very fast frequency.

While plucking the feathers, the eagle was observing the surrounding area for any movement. Its alertness far exceeded that of the other eagles working in the fields. In this situation, any falconer who was working in the fields to free eagles would be able to spot the abnormality at a glance.

Xiao Tao also noticed the abnormality of the small eagle and asked, “What’s going on? I feel that the eagle is a little overly vigilant.

Could it be that it didn’t penetrate the face? It didn’t hide even when people were around, which shouldn’t be the case, right?”
