Chapter 24 Xiao Tao’s First Experience of Falconry

With the previous sand chicken as a base, the newly caught flying dragon bird naturally could not be killed by the eagle. Yue Feng quickly replaced the flying dragon with the dead bird, then stuffed the bird into the socks and handed it to Xiao Tao.

“It turns out that this flying dragon bird is quite easy to catch!” Xiao Tao couldn’t help but sigh after getting the third prey.

It seemed quite easy to Xiao Tao to catch flying dragon birds in the woods. In such a bright mountain area, one could see more than a hundred meters away with good eyesight. The flying dragon birds were dull and not afraid of people, so it was natural for him to catch the big blue kites that were good at doing hard work.

“It’s not difficult to know, but it’s difficult not to know!” Yue Feng curled his lips.

“Brother Feng, if we encounter prey again, can you let me release a hawk to satisfy my craving?” Xiao Tao said as he came over with a lick on his face.

“Do you have any ideas?” Yue Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled.

“Since you have already cooked the eagle, just let me try!”

Yue Feng stopped teasing his brother and nodded: “Okay, but you have to pay attention to a few details!”

“you say!”

“First, there are techniques for flat eagles. You have to do this, and then do this…”

Yue Feng taught Xiao Tao all the detailed skills such as how to release the young eagle, how to approach the prey, and how to release it without reservation.

The two brothers hurried on their way while talking in low voices. They had walked less than a mile when Xiao Tao spotted three flying dragons moving on the ground from at least fifty meters away.

“Brother! Look over there, a chicken!!!” Xiao Tao pointed at the prey in the distance and showed it to Yue Feng excitedly.

Yue Feng nodded without saying anything, then raised his right hand in front of Xiao Tao and spread out his five fingers.

At this moment, the green kite, which had become accustomed to being gently held in the palm of Yue Feng’s hand, was lying comfortably in the palm of Yue Feng’s hand. Even if Yue Feng loosened his five fingers, the kite did not move and remained in the lying position.

“Hold the hawk gently. Your hands are slightly smaller than mine. Push the hawk down a little. Its wings are too wide for you to hold it steadily. Remember to align the hawk’s claws with the center of your palm!” Yue Feng also taught Xiao Tao some details of the hawk release on the spot.

Under Yue Feng’s careful teaching, Xiao Tao soon mastered the Great Blue Kites in his hands.

It must be said that some things seem easy, but when you really do them yourself, they are not that simple.

Xiao Tao’s fingers were slightly shorter than Yue Feng’s, so it was very difficult for him to flatten the big blue kite. An ordinary kite weighing about half a pound would be difficult for an adult to flatten with his palm, not to mention Yue Feng’s plump and heavy kite, which reached seven and a half taels.

Xiao Tao, who was holding the eagle, walked unsteadily, as if he was stealing a landmine. He raised his right forearm horizontally, holding the eagle with his palm facing upwards, and the dog sneaked towards the location of the flying dragon in the distance.

What surprised Xiao Tao was that when Yue Feng approached the last flying dragon bird about 20 meters away, he did not fly away. But this time it was Xiao Tao’s turn. Just as he walked to about 30 meters away, the leading flying dragon bird raised its neck vigilantly and stared at Xiao Tao.

When Xiao Tao took two more steps forward, the alert flying dragon birds zizizi’s sharp alarm sounded, and the three birds wanted to run away instantly.

“Release!” At the critical moment, Yue Feng reminded from behind.

Xiao Tao came to his senses, flattened the eagle and threw it out.

This big green kite had never felt such an awkward flying posture since it was tied up by Yue Feng in the net. After leaving his hands, it forced itself to adjust its flying posture, flapped its wings with all its might, and chased after the flying dragon bird that had already taken off.

Thirty meters away, the prey had already noticed it. The rookie eagle’s skill was poor, and the three conditions were not favorable, but the big blue kite was extremely powerful and very angry, chasing the flying dragon bird. This chase took at least seventy or eighty meters away, and the big blue kite chased the target all the way to the bottom of the mountain ridge, and then it turned over in the air and hugged the prey.

Xiao Tao, who was releasing the hawk, was a little confused. He didn’t understand what went wrong. He had just watched Brother Feng release the hawk. It seemed quite easy!

“Don’t be distracted, hurry up and chase it! If you find the eagle a few steps late, the eagle will be full!” Yue Feng patted Xiao Tao’s shoulder, swung his long legs and ran wildly in the direction the eagle was chasing.

Fortunately, this place was relatively bright. After chasing for fifty meters, Yue Feng saw from a distance that at the bottom of the ditch, the Blue Kites were stepping on the flying dragon bird in classic style, beating its feathers one by one.

Yue Feng took the old actor’s dead sand chicken and slowly walked over and squatted down. He put on his gloves and changed the food. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

In just less than a hundred meters, the eagle had almost plucked out all the hair on the flying dragon bird’s neck and forehead. If it had been ten or eight seconds later, the eagle would have seen the blood and started eating, and the flying dragon bird would have most likely lost its life.

Watching the Great Green Kitten stepping on the Sand Chicken and pecking at the food bite by bite, Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Xiao Tao, who was a little slow, also followed suit, panting.

“Look! The little chick we just caught! If it was a few seconds later, its neck would have been torn apart!” Yue Feng stuffed the flying dragon bird into his socks and pointed at its bald head.

Huh…huh…

Xiao Tao’s breathing was a little rapid due to nervousness and running. He was no longer proud at the moment. His head was full of question marks, not knowing what the problem was.

I put the bald flying dragon bird that escaped from the eagle’s beak into my backpack, and slowly its breathing stabilized.

Seeing that the eagle had almost finished eating, Yue Feng used the same trick to take down the old actor, then held the eagle in his hand and touched the back and chest of the Great Green Kitten in a very natural way.

The blue kite enjoyed this kind of caressing very much. It tilted its head and squinted its eyes, and the fluff around its eye sockets spread out.

“Is your head full of question marks, wondering where the problem lies?” Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Tao and asked as if he could see through Xiao Tao’s thoughts.

Xiao Tao nodded: “Yeah! Why are you able to get so close when you are flattening the eagle? I think there is no movement when I stick to it. The chicken flies away from a long distance!”

Yue Feng curled his lips and explained: “Because of the eyes!”

“What? What eyes?”

“Because of your eyes! You started from a long distance away, then you sneaked forward, staring at those flying dragon birds in the distance!

Your steps are stiff, and your eyes are fixed on the chicken. The other party can obviously see your hostility! Naturally, he will be ready to run away from a distance. If he doesn’t run, will he wait for you to catch him? “

“Ah???” Xiao Tao was confused after hearing Yue Feng’s explanation.

He thought of several possibilities, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with him. However, after listening to Yue Feng’s explanation, it seemed that this statement made sense, and it was very likely to be the truth of the matter.

“Next time you watch me!
Even if you see the target, don’t stare at it all the time. Learn to glance at the prey with the corner of your eye. When walking, it’s right to walk in a low voice, but don’t be too stiff. Be more natural!
Finally, the angle at which you released the eagle was too bad. The essence of flat release is to push the eagle flatly to give it enough starting speed. But you are lucky that you are tall. If you were twenty centimeters shorter, the eagle would have fallen directly to the ground!
Let me put it this way, the reason this flying dragon was caught up was purely because the Great Green Harrier was strong enough. You, a makeshift eagle, were of no help at all and even held it back!

When I release the hawk, you should observe carefully and stop looking too high!”
