Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Chapter 274 Rebellion against Tiangang

Chapter 274 Rebellion against Tiangang
If you rely solely on your fleshy legs, you will have no chance of chasing a small, agile animal like a sable on foot in the mountains.

But it’s different with the help of the Big Black Hawk.

Every time the big black hawk swoops down, the sable needs to adjust its position and direction to avoid it.

Although this guy with extremely fast reaction speed can dodge every time by predicting, he will inevitably waste time in the process of escaping.

Xiao Tao, who caught up, did not need to avoid the attack of the big black eagle. He just needed to stretch his long legs and catch up in a straight line in the shortest time to create some pressure on the sable.

Originally, the difference in agility and reaction speed between the eagle and the marten was almost the same. With the addition of the humanoid pursuers from behind, this fragile balance was quickly broken.

Before Xiao Tao could get within three meters of the albino sable, the little fellow was distracted by the fright and pressure and was hit by the black eagle’s iron-like wings before he could react.

In just a moment, the sable stopped running suddenly but lost its balance due to external force and fell three times on the ground before it could barely stabilize its body. When it stood firm again, the black eagle attacked for the second time.

puff!
Another flapping of wings attacked, and the little sable felt dizzy. By the time it came to its senses, Xiao Tao, who had caught up from behind, pounced on it like a hungry tiger and grabbed the back of its neck with his bare hands.

Caught!!!
Xiao Tao, a guy with a fierce head, just jumped with all his might and scared everyone.

Fortunately, the snow here is relatively thick and has cushioned most of the impact. Otherwise, I would have broken my ribs by hitting the rocks on the ground.

“Shit! I caught him! The little mink is not hurt!”

Xiao Tao lay on the ground, holding the albino sable by the neck above his head with one hand, and using the other hand to support his body, he slowly climbed up from the ground.

Yue Feng was scared enough by this attack. He rushed forward in a panic. After walking up to Xiao Tao, he touched him all over, groping Xiao Tao’s chest, abdomen, arms and other parts.

“Are you crazy? Just chase normally. Why are you jumping up so hard? Is there something wrong with it? Don’t break your ribs!”

Yue Feng asked with concern.

“Don’t worry, I’m strong enough to have beaten a wild boar with my bare hands in the red pine forest last time, so what’s the harm in jumping on the snow? Don’t be nervous, nothing will happen!”

Xiao Tao said indifferently as he patted the snow foam on his body with one hand.

“You are such a freaking idiot! If you get hurt while hunting in the mountains, how am I going to explain to your parents when I get back?”

“I’m fine. Let’s take a look at this little thing first! There are white varieties of sable? This should be a sable, right?”

Xiao Tao pinched the fur on the back of the sable’s neck with his right hand. The sable squeaked, but no matter how it struggled, it could not break free from Xiao Tao’s ruthless iron hand.

Yue Feng and several teammates who caught up a little bit behind, all gathered around to watch the little guy that Xiao Tao was holding in his hand.

This little white animal has no obvious differences from ordinary sables except for its snow-white fur without any stray hairs, such as its size, proportions, length, and the way it runs and struggles in people’s hands.

Yue Feng looked particularly carefully at the eyes of the sable.

For common albino animals, if the vision development is impaired, obvious problems can be seen in the pupils of the eyes.

The most common symptom is that the eyes appear light red or pink. This is the state of the blood vessels in the eyeball when there is no normal melanin to cover them.

However, the pupils of this white mutant sable are similar to those of normal sable eyes, and are not light red or pink.

In fact, to be honest, the color of this albino sable’s eyes seems to be different from that of ordinary sables.

Maybe because of the white fur, Yue Feng always felt that the little guy’s pupils were darker.

While Yue Feng and others were observing it, it was also observing everyone, giving people a feeling that it was a little smart.

This time I’m going to pay for it.

Living sables of ordinary colors are rare enough, and even in the entire Changbai Mountain Range, the total population of sables is not a very large number.

Under the premise that it is already rare, if albino normally developed individuals appear through natural mutation with an extremely low probability, the value of this thing will be difficult to measure.

Albinism and melanism are both special genetic mutations that exist in nature.

Melanization is a little stronger. Normal melanization individuals will basically not have a negative impact on individual survival. There is also a small probability that there will be a situation like the black eagle that is smarter than normal individuals.

But albinism is different. Most albinism genes will cause certain congenital defects in individuals.

The most representative problem is that the albino gene of albino individuals causes the body to be unable to synthesize melanin normally, and melanin is an essential substance for the development of the retina of animal eyes.

Therefore, a large proportion of individuals with albinism due to genetic mutations will have serious problems with vision development.

It would be better for these albino mutant creatures to survive in the hands of humans. After all, with human intervention, there is not much pressure on obtaining food.

However, individuals with congenital vision defects are at a great disadvantage when surviving in the wild.

They will show fear of light, extremely poor vision, and even blindness in severe cases.

Because of the objective existence of these factors, the vast majority of albino individuals will be naturally eliminated before they reach adulthood.

Only a very small number of individuals that have undergone the albinism mutation but whose vision is not affected can survive in the cruel natural world.

The sable in front of him, with its snow-white body and no stray hairs, is such an existence that it can only exist in theory.

If this thing were known by experts in sable breeding research at home and abroad, they would definitely go crazy.

Yue Feng observed the mutant albino sable from all angles, and then nodded and said, “It is indeed a sable! An albino mutant!
It’s a little female mink. Judging from its size, it should be an adult. I just don’t know if it has cubs in its belly!
If she gets pregnant, we’ll really pay for it this time!

This is a natural pure white color that is more precious than any other top-grade mink fur on the market. It is only available in our stores and only in our hands!”

“Should…should there be a baby in the belly?”

After hearing what Yue Feng said, Xiaowen seemed to be shocked by the huge value of this little thing, and he spoke with a little stuttering and nervousness.

“If it’s a normal color, as long as it’s an adult female mink in estrus, the chances of her getting pregnant during this season are pretty high, but it’s hard to say for this white individual!”

Yue Feng said uncertainly.

“Is it really so valuable? Why is it so hard to say about the white individual?” Xiao Tao scratched his head with his left hand, a little confused.

“Because animals are in heat and mating, there are often requirements for body color!

Everyone is black, but you are white. From the perspective of animals, you may be considered an alien, and thus lose the opportunity to mate and reproduce!

But this is not absolute.

It is a female mink. In the process of pairing and breeding, she occupies a relatively active position and has the right to choose. As long as the male mink does not object, she may successfully conceive!
If this is a pure white male mink, the probability of being chosen by a female mink in a natural pairing is even lower, and the probability of leaving genes and offspring is greatly reduced!” “Who cares! Anyway, it has been caught now, so take it home and raise it. As long as there are cubs in its belly, it will definitely give birth when the time comes.

I just don’t know if there will be any pure white cubs born!”

“There’s definitely no white one!” Yue Feng shook his head without hesitation.

“Why? The mother is white, so logically the baby should also have a probability, right?” Xiao Tao continued to ask.

Yue Feng knew the reason, but he couldn’t explain it to his friends.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Anyone who has studied high school biology knows that gene expression can be recessive or dominant.

The genetic mutation that causes albinism is a recessive gene. If it wants to express the trait, it needs to fertilize and reproduce with another white individual to produce a white cub.

Now Yue Feng’s character is just a rural child who has not even finished junior high school. He did not acquire all this knowledge in his previous life from school textbooks, but because he was interested in the reproduction, breeding, and hybridization of hunting dogs and birds of prey, and he found the relevant knowledge through the Internet.

If he were to explain it clearly now, it would actually be a problem because he would not be able to explain the source of the knowledge to his friends.

Facing the curious eyes of his friends, Yue Feng frowned and thought for two seconds, then changed his way of explaining: “I have heard similar examples from the older generation, and there seems to be a saying about this white fur color.

For example, if a normal-colored rabbit breeds with a white rabbit, the offspring will definitely not be white.

But when two white rabbits with normal body color reproduce, some of their offspring will be white!
For example, domestic cats with three different colors on their bodies are almost 99% female!
I’m not sure what the specific reasoning is here, but there must be some rules that we don’t know about.

If you want to know the principle, you have to ask someone who has studied in high school or even college. I didn’t even finish junior high school, so…”

While speaking, Yue Feng spread his hands, showing a helpless gesture.

“Then, if we analyze it based on the rabbit example, if we want to get a pure white cub, we need to find another albino sable to mate with this female mink?
If there is only one albino female mink in the world, then it would be meaningless!” Xiaowen frowned after listening to Yue Feng’s example.

“That’s not true. Dog and pigeon breeders have a method called blood-reproduction.

For example, if you want a fixed appearance or feature, you can pair the father or mother that carries this feature with the offspring with the same feature for breeding. After several breedings, the offspring will have this feature fixed!
Of course, the offspring obtained through this process may be just like those from inbreeding, and may easily produce fools!
We are getting this white sable mainly for its fur, so whether it is stupid or not, it doesn’t matter much!”

“Brother Feng, you know so much!” After listening to Yue Feng’s analysis, Xiao Tao looked at Yue Feng with a bit of admiration.

Yue Feng scratched his head a little guilty: “You just don’t pay much attention to these things. Many of the older generations know about them. I am usually more interested in them, so I remember them when I hear others talk about them!

I’ve finished watching it, so I should pack up this little guy first. If I delay any longer, Xiao Tao might strangle him to death!”

“I’ll get the bag!”

Soon, Xiaowen took out a bag of sables, and the two of them worked together to put the precious albino sable into the bag.

Seeing that its owner put the sable back into the bag, the big black eagle jumped from the ground to Yue Feng’s front, nodding and calling to Xiao Tao.

“Is this a thank you for helping me?”

Xiao Tao was a little surprised to see the performance of the big black eagle. This guy became more and more familiar with him and even started to interact with him?
When Yue Feng saw this scene, he almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

This was not a thank you for help. Yue Feng had seen Big Black Hawk use this body language when he recruited his eight dogs at home.

The situation was urgent just now, so Yue Feng asked Xiao Tao, who ran faster, to help.

Maybe Big Black Hawk had misunderstood. This daring guy wanted to take Xiao Tao in as his younger brother, just like he wanted to tame the dogs at home!
“Brother, what are you laughing at?”

Xiao Tao felt a little puzzled when he saw Yue Feng trying hard to hold back his laughter. He scratched his head and felt uneasy.

“Hahahahaha! Big Black Hawk isn’t thanking you, he wants to recruit you as his little brother! Before, when he gathered the group of dogs in his family’s dog gang, he looked like this!

You must not move, if the feedback of your action is wrong, it will think that you approve it!! “

As Yue Feng spoke, he stretched out his arms and stood between Xiao Tao and the big black eagle.

Cats and dogs can be accepted as subordinates, but how can a living person be a subordinate of an eagle? Isn’t this against the will of heaven?

“Go away! Xiao Tao is my brother, do you still want to make trouble?”

Yue Feng waved his hands repeatedly and spoke and gestured to the big black eagle.

The big black eagle may not understand whether it is a big deal or not, but it can understand that its owner has stopped its behavior.

He jumped back a few steps feeling a little disappointed, then barked and nodded at the dog not far away.

Yue Feng attached great importance to matters involving ranking. It didn’t matter how the Eagle and the Dog were ranked. The worst that could happen was that the Eagle was dissatisfied with the performance of his younger brother and scratched the Dog’s butt.

But when it comes to people, you have to be cautious.

If the status hierarchy is not handled properly, Ying may feel that he is higher in status than Xiao Tao.

If they act together later, and Eagle misunderstands Xiao Tao’s reaction and expresses dissatisfaction, he will be in danger of being attacked!

In order to address this possible risk, Yue Feng immediately took out the meat prepared for the big black eagle from his bag.

This time, Yue Feng did not feed the meat directly to the eagle, but handed the meat to Xiao Tao.

In the minds of animals, only individuals with high status can distribute food to their companions. Yue Feng asked Xiao Tao to feed meat to the eagle, which was actually telling the eagle that Xiao Tao’s status was higher than its and correcting the big black eagle’s wrong idea.

Xiao Tao followed Yue Feng’s request, took a few pieces of meat and moved towards the big black eagle.

“Big Black Hawk’s fight just now was awesome. Let Xiao Tao give you some meat!”

Yue Feng touched the big black eagle’s head and chest and continued to use the old PUA routine that had always worked.

This time, when Big Black Hawk saw the piece of meat that Xiao Tao handed over to him, he just took a symbolic bite.

When the second piece was handed over, the big black eagle shook its head and threw the meat away, then landed directly on Yue Feng’s arm with a cackle.

Well, this guy is smarter than Yue Feng thought. He is being pretentious with his master.
