Chapter 214: A Single Eagle Captures a Lynx

“The snow on the mountain is too heavy to walk on. You have to find a way to borrow some skis! Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable to walk in the snow. Every time you step down, you will get to your knees!” Yue Feng reminded.

“Ski board? This thing is really hard to find. In our village, besides my uncle and the Zhou family, I think only Uncle Zhao’s family has it?” Xiaowen frowned slightly after listening to Yue Feng’s thoughts.

Even if ordinary people go up the mountain to collect mountain products, it is usually in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and the temperature is minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Except for hunters, few other people go into the mountains.

If you don’t need this thing, there’s naturally no need to prepare it. Now if you want to borrow it temporarily, it’s naturally difficult to find someone to borrow it from.

However, Yue Feng slapped his head and said, “Oh, right, the village warehouse should have it! Just wait, I’ll go to Xiaona’s house and borrow it for you!”

“Yes, there should be one in the village warehouse. We used it when we went up the mountain to look for people two years ago and the year before last. I remember it now!” After Yue Feng said this, Xiaowen also had some impression.

In the past, it was not so easy to borrow things from the village warehouse, because they did not belong to individuals but to the village collective. As the village secretary, Wang Jianguo was also very sensitive about these things. Unless necessary, every brick, every tile, every needle and thread, and all the village collective property were subject to relatively strict restrictions. Even if they were borrowed, they had to be registered and recorded to prevent the loss of village collective property.

But things are different now. Yue Feng and Xiao Na have already set a date for their engagement. Skis are not very sensitive weapons like the 56. Yue Feng can definitely borrow them as long as he asks.

There is no doubt that the new son-in-law definitely has the face. Even if the father-in-law is unwilling to lend the money, Yue Feng doesn’t need to get angry, because Xiaona and her mother-in-law have to speak for their partner (son-in-law).

The result was just as expected. Yue Feng ran to Wang Xiaona’s house and told Wang Jianguo that he wanted to borrow a few pairs of skis to go up the mountain. The father-in-law didn’t even stutter, but directly took the key to open the village warehouse and picked out three pairs of skis for his brother-in-law. When he left the house, he repeatedly reminded him to be careful when going up the mountain.

When Yue Feng returned home with three pairs of skis, the three brothers Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu were already fully armed.

This time, Yue Feng’s hunting team had four people, two guns, four dogs, and a large black hawk. All the core combat power was mobilized, and they marched out of the village in a mighty manner and entered the mountains for the second time.

In the morning, Yue Feng had already figured out the way to reach his destination, so they moved into the mountain very quickly. The four of them were not pulling any sleds or other heavy supplies, so it only took them about an hour and a half to reach Yingzuigou, where the warm water spring was located.

Yue Feng led his men and Black Wolf down to the cave behind the pile of rocks at the bottom of the ditch.

After careful identification, he dug out the bloodstains that had been covered with snow foam.

“Black Wolf, sniff, chase!!!”

The black wolf, who was extremely excited after climbing the mountain, immediately lowered his head and sniffed the blood left by the tiger cub on the ground. He quickly chose a direction and started barking loudly.

The three dogs nearby, Big Yellow, Big Black and Little Flower, also sniffed the blood for a while. The four dogs became very excited when they smelled the blood of the beast and kept barking.

“Brother, should we let the dog go? Or is it safer to hold it on a leash?” Xiaowen asked.

Yue Feng hesitated slightly. The lynx’s hind legs play a very important role whether it is attacking or escaping. If one of its hind paws is broken, the injured lynx should not pose a fatal threat to the dog.

Otherwise, let the dog go?
In a flash, Yue Feng decided not to release the dogs. If the injured lynx was torn apart by the dogs, it would be a huge loss.

“Hold the dog, don’t let it go! The tiger cub hurt the dog, and if the dog gets the upper hand, the lynx will tear it to pieces!
We can’t afford any of these situations, so let’s be safe. The eagle is following us overhead. If the big black eagle finds its prey in advance, it should be enough to give us a heads-up!”

“Then chase them?”

“Chase!”

In this way, the four dogs tied with ropes walked in unison towards the footprints and scent traces left by the lynx in the snow.

Facts have proved that Yue Feng’s decision to delay going to the village office to borrow skis was extremely wise. At the bottom of the ditch, the snow was even deeper than the knees. The dog was moving forward in the snow, and there was no obvious leaping and leaping stride. It looked more like a cricket larvae in the snow.

However, this environment had a great impact on the dog and the lynx. The escaped lynx walked for a short distance in the snow pit at the bottom of the ditch, and soon climbed up the ridge along the sunny slope, and then fled along the ridge all the way to the northwest into the woods.

The smell is the freshest in the morning, and some bloodstains can be seen from time to time. It is definitely impossible to get rid of the smell. The four dogs, even Xiaohua and Dahei, can recognize the smelly road, which is very reliable.

Just like that, Yue Feng and his four companions and four dogs advanced all the way along the northwest direction of Yingzui Valley. It took them a full hour and a half to plow almost all the way around the two hills in Forest Area No. 17.

Some people may complain when they see this. Didn’t they lose the wild boar king after going around in circles before? They can’t lose it again this time, right? No matter how capable the tiger cub is, how fast can it run if its claws are broken?

It is indeed not lost again. There is a reason for this situation.

In fact, the lynx’s injuries were much more serious than Yue Feng had thought.

At the edge of an icy water bubble two ridges away from Yingzui Valley, an injured lynx was limping downstream of the water bubble.

There is a spring under the water bubble, and water continues to gush out even in winter. The surface is just frozen and covered by ice and snow, but there are still small streams flowing under the snow layer.

A large area of ​​fur above the mouth and near the nose of this male lynx was soaked with blood. The high-intensity running made the lynx’s blood boil and its breathing became a little rapid.

Although the shot that Yue Feng shot at the rabbit did not hit the lynx’s vitals, the bullet rubbed the outside of its nose. The burning pain made it very angry. Out of instinct, the big lynx went to the spring under the snow to drink water, using the icy water to relieve the pain in its nose and hind paws.

This level of injury is not actually fatal to a lynx in its prime. As long as it is given some time to recuperate, it will be able to recover. At most, the loss of a hind paw will affect its running and jumping. It still has the ability to hunt and can still survive.

However, the injured lynx was targeted by Yue Feng’s team and was pursued by both land and air. Its fate was sealed.

Here, the lynx was drinking water and licking the stump of its broken hind paw. Suddenly, its ears moved and it raised its head.

On the ridge, Yue Feng and his four companions were leading the dogs, and they were less than 500 meters away from the lynx.

Because of the obstruction of the mountains and trees, Yue Feng and his companions had not yet seen the lynx, but the lynx had already discovered the pursuers in advance with its keen hearing.

The miserable lynx immediately turned around and fled, running slowly and laboriously from the snow pile at the bottom of the ditch to the shady side of the slope. His old nest was in Tiaoshitang, and even if he was escaping, his first reaction was to go to an environment that he was relatively familiar with, so he led Yue Feng and the others around in circles between several ridges.

But this time, the lynx was not as lucky as before.

The trees were relatively sparse near the ridge above its head. As soon as the tiger cub jumped onto the ridge, it immediately heard a low-frequency whistling sound coming from above its head. Before it could raise its head, it was kicked on the head.

The big lynx was kicked in the head and was a little dazed for a moment. When he came to his senses, he looked up and saw a large pure black eagle landed on a poplar tree not far away, cackling non-stop.

Logically speaking, cats have an extremely short reaction time and are one of the land species least likely to be attacked by surprise. However, as the saying goes, there is always a catch: no matter how fast their reactions are, they cannot be as fast as the dive speed of birds.

The falcon, in particular, is the leader among predatory birds and has already perfected its speed skills through millions of years of evolution.

Under normal circumstances, when it was not injured, the lynx might climb a tree to intimidate the big black eagle that dared to attack it. Now, it just wanted to escape. If it didn’t run, it wouldn’t be long before the pursuers behind it would come.

The lynx had already smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air. It had suffered the same injury not long ago. If it was caught up, it would die.

Realizing this, the lynx let out a threatening sound, then lowered its head and continued to run on three legs.

However, the whistling black shadow came again and kicked the lynx on the back again.

Haha haha ​​haha!

The big black eagle’s unbridled cry seemed like an obvious provocation. After one strike, it landed back on the tree and repeated the previous process.

If a lynx wants to run, it will be kicked. Although each attack will not take its life, the force is quite strong. If it is left alone, it will suffer organic damage if it is accurately kicked in the back of the head or neck a few times.

But this damn eagle is haunting him. Every time he takes a few steps, the eagle will swoop down and attack him. Even if he is mentally prepared, he cannot avoid the eagle’s high-speed swoop. Every time he wants to fight back, he will feel severe pain in the claws on his hind legs that need to bear the force. This puts the grand lynx in a passive situation where he can only take the beating but cannot fight back.

The big black eagle also knew that the big guy with claws and exposed canine teeth below was not easy to deal with. After all, no matter what subspecies the lynx was, it was one of the predators close to the top of the food chain.

But after several successful sneak attacks, Big Black Hawk realized that this guy was injured, and as long as he was careful enough, he should not be in danger.

So, some interesting scenes appeared.

No matter how a wounded lynx roared and breathed threats, the big black eagle on the tree remained unmoved and stood still to confront it. The big black eagle squatted steadily, and once it tried to escape, it would be kicked out of the blue and become very annoyed.

Yue Feng, who was tracking in the woods, heard the scream of a big black hawk a few hundred meters away and immediately looked up.

The eagle in the sky disappeared, and in the distance a large black eagle was screaming. And judging from the noise, the screaming tone was quite uniform.

“You guys hold the dogs, I’ll go take a look ahead first!” Yue Feng handed Black Wolf’s rope to Xiao Tao, then he left the team and accelerated forward.

As the distance got closer, Yue Feng soon saw a big black eagle perched on a big tree.

This guy had his hair standing on end, his head stretched out forward, and he was screaming at the person under the tree like a fighting cock.

Yue Feng moved left and right, took a glance through the gaps between the trees, and immediately raised his gun.

Big Black Hawk made a great contribution today. This guy actually captured the giant lynx’s nest by himself without the help of dogs or humans!
There was a small mistake in the shooting in the morning, but Yue Feng couldn’t afford to make any more mistakes now. He aimed at the position where the lynx’s head and neck were connected and pulled the trigger directly.

boom!
A gunshot was heard. The lynx turned its head and looked, which happened to meet Yue Feng’s eyes. The bullet hit its head and it exploded instantly, and it fell limply to the ground.

“Fuck! Hit it!!!” Yue Feng put the gun on his shoulder and rushed forward on his skis.

The big black eagle squatting on the tree saw that its owner had killed the prey, and continued to scream excitedly.

While screaming, it fell from the tree, and its huge claws directly pinched the lynx whose skull was opened by the bullet.

When a bullet hits the head of animals like bears and wild boars, although the trauma is severe, due to their huge size and sufficient bone strength, the degree of deformation and breakage is relatively minor, so at least you can get a general idea of ​​what they look like.

This lynx was different. It was hit by a bullet in the head. Not to mention the face, the upper half of the brain was almost blown off, leaving only the mouth and nose connected by a large amount of flesh and blood and scattered broken bones.

The owner doesn’t even need to help open the can, which makes the big black eagle very happy.

When the black eagle lives independently in the wild, it tends to be a picky eater. When given a choice, it prefers to eat the heart, liver, lungs, internal organs and brains of animals.

As the number one hero of today’s hunt, this guy stepped on the lynx’s head that was beaten into a rotten watermelon with his claws, and lowered his head to look at the bloody, red and white thing and showed off wildly.

Yue Feng turned on the safety of his gun, then squatted in the snow with the muzzle of the gun facing the sky. Then he quickly walked up to the big lynx and examined it carefully.

The previous prediction was correct. This was a three to four-year-old male giant lynx with two gunshot wounds on its body. One was the claw of its left hind leg, which was broken by the bullet. The other was on its skull, which was directly ripped open by the bullet. The upper half of its skull was gone, and blood was oozing out.

No wonder lynx fur is valuable. If you touch it with your hand, you will feel the ultimate feel. The long hair is soft and the short hair is dense. Even if blood falls on the fur, it will not stick.

According to the standards for purchasing leather, this leather can definitely be rated as top-quality. The head and neck downwards are intact, the limbs and torso are intact, and only the claws have wounds at the base. Normally, skinning has to start from here, so there is no impact.

Yue Feng measured the overall length with his palm. Not counting the tail, the length of this big male lynx reached about 1.1 meters. It was estimated to weigh nearly 100 kilograms, which was definitely a relatively large individual among lynxes.
