Chapter 222 Silver Head, Flower Tail, Pearl Back

“Look at this one, with a flat top and a calm personality, and the feathers behind its head extending all the way to the top of its neck are all silver. This is what the eagle book calls a silver head.

Look at the tail again. The tail feathers are covered with black grids with very short intervals and dotted with light-colored spots. This is called a flower tail.

After looking at the head and tail, let’s look at the back hair, which is also dotted with light-colored spots as big as pearls. This is called a pearl back!
As the old saying goes, a rabbit with a silver head, a flowery tail, and a pearly back is precious even if you don’t hit it! This is exactly what the rabbit tiger looks like!
This eagle should be bred in the high-latitude habitat near the northernmost part. When hunting eagles, this subspecies of eagles are usually the last to arrive. They are large in size, fast in speed, and their overall quality is much better than that of ordinary hunting falcons!”

After Yue Feng’s explanation, Uncle Zhao’s eyes brightened.

After witnessing with his own eyes how the big Black Hawk completely extinguished the Tiger II in one round, Uncle Zhao did not have high expectations for the Hawk at first. After all, there is no harm without comparison.

But now that he heard it, it was not the case at all. Judging from the eagle’s appearance, this Tuhu was actually a good eagle as mentioned in the eagle book. Uncle Zhao wanted to keep the eagle and raise it himself even more.

The so-called appearance is not only applicable to eagles, but also to dogs, cats, or other animals that are deeply involved in human activities.

This is not only a subjective judgment based on human preferences, but also an objective law summarized from long-term breeding and contact. Uncle Zhao doesn’t understand eagles, but he understands dogs. When comparing the statements in the dog physiognomy book with practice, almost 99% of them can be confirmed.

“From what you said, this is still a top-quality eagle?”

“Yes! Among hunting falcons, this eagle is definitely pretty good, but it certainly can’t compare to the gyrfalcon! Don’t be too depressed, this rabbit-tiger is much smarter than the rabbit-hawk. You can also train it to hunt and follow. Falcons are smarter than eagles. If you raise them for a long time, you can also train them to be skilled!”

“Then let’s take it back. What should we do now? We can’t hold it in our hands all the time!” Uncle Zhao was a little hesitant when he saw Yue Feng was making an eagle shape with his hands.

“It’s easy. There’s a big eagle coat in the interlayer of my shoulder bag. I can just tie it up temporarily!”

Soon, Uncle Zhao helped Yue Feng take out the eagle coat, and then used the eagle coat to tighten the silver-headed, flower-tailed, pearl-backed rabbit tiger, and put Xiao Tao’s bag of sundries into his companion’s bag, and placed the injured rabbit tiger alone. As long as you are a little careful and don’t let the wound on the eagle’s back rub against other places and bleed again, there will be no problem.

After simply organizing this unexpected harvest, the five members of the team were in a good mood.

Although we haven’t killed a deer yet, we unexpectedly got a hunting falcon. In terms of economic value alone, this falcon is no less valuable than a deer.

Of course, this is a more market-oriented way of measuring value. Since Uncle Zhao wants the eagle, Yue Feng will definitely not ask for money.

The old man couldn’t get a top-notch falcon like the Black Hawk, so the next best thing was to raise a top-quality hunting falcon. After training it, it would be enough to hunt rabbits and pheasants.

After settling the injured falcon, Yue Feng took off the big black eagle’s hat again and let the eagle continue to fly into the air and follow. Xiaowen and Xiaowu also released the dogs again and continued to search for the scent left by the deer in the surrounding traces.

The man and the dog searched several areas mixed with bushes and small trees but couldn’t find the creature. Just when Uncle Zhao was about to move his men to another position, the black wolf that was sniffing around the periphery was the first to discover a useful scent and spoke first.

The black wolf barked four or five times in succession. After Yue Feng heard it, everyone immediately gathered towards the dog’s location.

After getting close to the black wolf, Dahuang also made a sound. Similarly, it also smelled the scent of prey.

“Black Wolf, Big Yellow, chase!” Yue Feng gave the order to pursue. Upon receiving the order, the dog immediately barked a few times and rushed out following the scent trail.

The remaining two dogs immediately followed, and the team immediately became filled with a fighting atmosphere.

Seeing that the four members of Yue Feng’s team were ready to chase wildly, Uncle Zhao said with experience, “This is a relatively spacious area, and the snow is frozen hard. You don’t have to worry about your dogs going out. Ordinary deer and the like can’t hurt them!

We don’t need to panic, just listen to the barking of the dog and chase it slowly! Deer are much faster than wild boars. If you think the animal you are looking at is a deer, you won’t be able to stop for an hour!”

Uncle Zhao hit the nail on the head. No matter how powerful a hunting dog is, it cannot kill a deer in just one round.

Deer run much faster than hounds. It is difficult for humans to keep up with dogs, let alone deer. The only option is to let the hounds act as vanguards to waste the deer’s energy, while humans follow behind and wait until the prey’s energy is almost exhausted before ending the fight.

However, in Uncle Zhao’s experience, there is no variable such as the big black hawk.

Today, the performance of the Big Black Hawk was more than just capturing a falcon.

After hearing the barking of its little dogs below as they chased the scent of prey in the air, it cleverly raised its flight altitude and used its excellent dynamic vision to search for targets around it.

The dogs’ chasing and barking in the valley startled a herd of deer a kilometer away.

This was a herd of five red deer, one male, two females, and two smaller sub-adult baby deer. After hearing the barking of dogs in the distance, the leading male raised its branch-like horns, neighed a few times, and was about to run away with the herd. However, before they ran far, they were spotted by a large black eagle in the sky.

In the woods, the black eagle’s flying ability is still limited by the trees. Now that it is in this open area, the black eagle’s ability can be demonstrated to the fullest.

After it spotted the herd of deer, it made a series of cackling sounds in the sky, then folded its wings and swooped down towards the herd, directly targeting two half-grown fawns in the herd.

A large elk weighs four to five hundred kilograms, with thick skin and flesh, and sharp antlers on its head. The big black eagle certainly cannot hunt it alone, but the fawns that year were much smaller. The slightly larger one weighed only about 170 to 180 kilograms. Even if this kind of fawn is a male, it does not have antlers on its head yet.

Whoosh~~
Snapped!
The big black hawk swooped down from high in the sky and kicked a elk calf on the cartilage behind its ear. The elk calf, which had been jumping around a second ago, swayed slightly but did not fall, and quickly stabilized its body.

The attack was successful, but the elk calf was still small, so it was a little dazed by the kick, but it was far from being killed by two kicks like an adult roe deer.

After kicking once, the Big Black Hawk rose into the air again and kicked the same target again using the same trick.

The elk cub was not seriously injured, which made Black Hawk a little disappointed.

He saw that his master could use a gun to blow open the skull of his prey with one shot, but the damage done by his Eagle Strike, which he was so proud of, was so limited.

When encountering a problem, one must find a solution. After all, the big black eagle is not an ordinary species. It soon realized that the prey in front of it has an ability to withstand blows that has exceeded the upper limit of its full-strength attack. It wants to kill the prey with a few kicks, but it cannot do it.

So what to do?

The master and his fellow dogs are still several hundred meters away, and they can’t let the prey escape.

The elk calf that happened to be attacked screamed at its mother, with fear showing in its bright eyes.

Seeing this, the big black eagle came up with an idea. It flapped its wings and flew to the elk’s neck, grabbed it tightly, and then pecked at the elk’s eyes fiercely.

Once the thinking changes, the results will be immediate.

He kicked the elk calf twice with all his strength. The elk calf did not have any serious injuries, but its eyes were different. After one of its eyes was pecked blind, blood immediately gushed out of the wound. The elk calf with only one eye left jumped around in circles on the spot, trying to get the big black eagle to come down.

The big black eagle’s sharp claws were firmly nailed on the elk calf’s head and neck. It kept flapping its wings to keep its balance, just like a rider taming a horse on the grassland. No matter how the deer struggled, it would not let go of its claws.

When he saw the opportunity, the other eye was also completely pecked blind by the black eagle.

Now the elk calf was blind, crying helplessly, running around in the wasteland but unable to see anything. After it bumped into a small tree trunk as thick as a bowl, it crawled on the ground and couldn’t stand up!

The big black eagle completed the ‘blinding’ operation, and after seeing that the prey could not escape at all, it rushed towards the second cub.

Although elk are not as smart as the black eagle, they know that their eyes are their weakest part after seeing their own kind being blinded by the eagle and crashed into a tree. So when the black eagle flew over, the remaining elk all ran happily and dived into the relatively dense bushes.

This scene was a bit funny. Even the other half-grown elk calf, with a shoulder height of nearly one meter, buried its head in the bushes with half of its buttocks exposed. The big black eagle tried to attack it several times, but the skin of its buttocks was thick and the back door was protected by the tail, so it could not find a chance to seriously injure its opponent.

The big black eagle had no choice but to attack another adult elk.

This adult male deer is quite majestic, with a shoulder height of about 1.3 meters, long limbs, and the beautiful antlers on its head also have a certain lethality.

The black eagle wanted to use the same trick again, but the elk’s antlers kept shaking, which posed a great threat to the black eagle. After trying several times, the black eagle gave up temporarily.

This guy cherishes his life very much. No matter whether he was catching the lynx before or the elk today, he was very cautious and would never put himself in danger for the sake of hunting.

The small ones burrow into the bushes, the big ones have horns and can peck at the eyes and are dangerous. The big black eagle stared with its big, intelligent eyes, tilted its head and thought for a moment, then immediately flapped its wings and flew high towards where its owner was.

Haha haha ​​haha!

A series of rapid cries sounded above the heads of Yue Feng and his companions, and the big black eagle flew back to report the news.
