Chapter 312 Shot down
“The eagle is calling! Why is the eagle calling in the sky? What’s going on, Xiaofeng?”

Wang Huye heard the big black eagle’s screaming sound high up. The sound sounded a little hurried, and there was a clear difference in tone from the previous calls.

Yue Feng grinned calmly: “Speaking of the devil, didn’t I just say that only a white male gyrfalcon escaped from the claws of the big black eagle twice?

Here it comes again! Look carefully from the angle above the big black eagle, there should be another bird in the sky!”

While speaking, Yue Feng had already started observing in advance with his hands on his back.

It was exactly as he expected, the white eagle came to provoke him again.

Ye Jianjun had excellent eyesight and was the first to notice the second eagle that Yue Feng mentioned.

“Look! There really is one! Is this the white gyrfalcon you mentioned?
The gyrfalcon should be very rare, but is it so common in your area?”

Yue Feng shook his head: “This gyrfalcon is not common! I grew up in the village and I have only seen these two!

I discovered this big black eagle by accident when I was hunting in the mountains. This guy can listen to the gunshots of hunters. When he hears the noise, he will wait to eat the internal organs of mountain animals that were hung on trees as a tribute to the mountain god. Later, I discovered it and caught it with a trap!
This white gyrfalcon, if I am not mistaken, is the one we accidentally encountered on Jindingzi Mountain when we went to Lincheng to catch martens some time ago.

At that time, I took the big black eagle to catch a marten. When I met it, I fought with it and beat it away!
Later, when we came back and were tracking falcons at home, the white spear suddenly appeared again for some reason!

This is the third time I’ve seen this thing today!

It is usually hard to find, otherwise I would have thought of a way to catch it long ago!”

“Two eagles fighting? There won’t be any risk, right? Otherwise, let’s call the big black eagle down! It won’t be appropriate if it gets hurt!”

When Ye Jianjun heard Yue Feng talk about his previous experience, he was a little worried.

In contrast, Yue Feng was not worried at all. He knew the strength of his own Black Hawk. When it fought with the White Giraffe, the White Giraffe would only suffer losses and not gain any advantage.

Whether in terms of size, flying speed, physical reserves and other dimensions, the Black Hawk is in a crushing state in all aspects.

In other words, Yue Feng was afraid that the eagle would lose the target and was reluctant to let it chase far away, otherwise this White Spear might have been shot down by the big black eagle just like the silver-headed and flower-tailed hunting falcon in Luming Valley.

“It’s okay! Let it chase you for a while. As long as it doesn’t fly out of sight, there’s no need to shout back!

The white spear’s stamina wasn’t as good as the big black eagle’s, and its speed was also slower. After chasing it for a few rounds, it ran away because it was exhausted! “Yue Feng said calmly.

Ever since Big Black Hawk disobeyed commands and was taught a lesson by Yue Feng last time, this guy has become quite sensitive to commands.

When you hear the whistle, you will react immediately without any hesitation.

Yue Feng was not in a hurry to take the eagle back.

Looking above the roof at this moment, the chase between the two eagles has entered the second stage.

After the white gyrfalcon lost its height advantage, it immediately fell into a disadvantage when facing the pursuit of the black eagle. It chased desperately in the front, while the black eagle behind it was chasing closely.

Both eagles had their wings fully spread out and were flying at full speed. Whenever the big black eagle was about to catch up, the white spear would turn and dodge. It fought with the big black eagle again and again, almost completely losing the initiative and being beaten and chased passively.

In the previous two consecutive battles, Big Black Hawk had the absolute upper hand, but White Spear escaped both times. After repeating the previous attempts in this chase today, Big Black Hawk was also thinking about how to end the battle.

The owner doesn’t allow it to leave the airspace around his home, and he still wants to take down this annoying white-haired creature, so there’s no point in just chasing after it.

If the opponent runs out of energy, he will fly away in a straight line. You will not be able to chase him far away. No matter how hard you try, you will only gain the advantage, but you will not be able to end the battle.

Realizing this, the Big Black Hawk immediately adjusted its pursuit posture, from the position where the two eagles were chasing each other in level flight, to a position where it flew upwards to gain additional altitude.

The most powerful hunting technique of falcons is to exchange height for speed. After increasing the diving height, the speed of the dive and pursuit will be multiplied. Only in this way can they bring down the guy who invades their territory.

Soon, the chase in the sky changed. The big black hawk no longer chased mindlessly, but climbed up to increase its flying altitude.

The White Spear in front also realized his situation and tried to fly higher to reduce the height difference between the two eagles.

At this time, the physical fitness difference in vertical climbing was reflected. The big black eagle climbed much faster than the white spear. Both eagles flew higher, but the height difference between them became larger and larger.

“Fuck, these two eagles are about to fly into the clouds!”

“Yeah, why don’t you chase it anymore, but climb higher! There’s only a small black dot left!”

Yue Feng did not answer the two people’s questions, but narrowed his eyes and continued to observe the battle above his head.

A few seconds later, Yue Feng said quietly, “Big Black Hawk has finally gotten the idea.

I have a feeling that this provocative little white spear might get taken down by the big black eagle today!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a huge black eagle that had increased the altitude difference to at least seventy or eighty meters. It folded its wings and, like a black F2 stealth bomber, slammed down towards the white spear below in an almost vertical posture.

puff! !

With a muffled sound, a black light and shadow passed through the flight path of the white spear, and large pieces of white feathers scattered from the air.

The white spear was hit! It spun around and fell from the sky.

“Fuck! He actually did it!”

When Yue Feng saw this scene, he immediately blew a whistle, and at the same time, using his hands and feet, he climbed up to the roof of the warehouse along the ladder in a few seconds.

The big black eagle, having succeeded in its first strike, was now ready to adjust its flying posture and give the falling target another kick. However, upon hearing the whistle from its master at the critical moment, it decisively gave up the prey target that was within its grasp and flew straight towards Yue Feng.

A low-frequency buzzing sound of folding wings and diving came whistling, and the big black eagle spread its wings and tail feathers a few meters above Yue Feng’s head, adjusted its posture, and landed steadily on Yue Feng’s arm.

This whistle to call the eagle shocked Wang Hu and Ye Jianjun again. With one whistle, in less than ten seconds, the eagle gave up the prey that was within its grasp and fell vertically. The execution of this command was amazing!
Quack, quack, quack!

The big black eagle that won the battle was like a victorious general returning to court, with his chest puffed out and his head nodding. He looked so handsome.

However, at this moment, Yue Feng’s attention was not on his own big Black Hawk showing off.

He just touched the big black eagle’s head as encouragement, and stared at the white spear that was spinning and falling from the sky. The last time they caught the rabbit tiger, it was a similar situation. The big black eagle took off and was shot down by the rabbit tiger. Then, not far away, Yue Feng and his team picked it up. The eagle did not die, and its injuries healed after a few days of care.

This time, if Bai Mao was not kicked to death by the big black eagle, as long as he did not hit the hard ground like the roof or the threshing floor, with a little grass or branches to cushion the impact, Bai Mao might still have a chance to survive the injury.

Yue Feng stared at the direction and angle of Bai Mao’s fall until he saw him falling from the air. Then he went down from the warehouse, put on his big black eagle hat, placed it on the scaffolding of the greenhouse, and ran outside with his legs spread.

“Come on, follow me out to find the eagle! If we’re lucky, this white spear still has a chance to survive!” Yue Feng called out and had already walked out of the courtyard.

Wang Hu and Ye Jianjun witnessed the entire process of the Black Hawk shooting down the White Spear in an air combat from beginning to end. Their usual calmness had long disappeared at this moment. Their heartbeats were so excited that they started at at least 180 beats per minute, and they rushed out after the Black Hawk.

Yue Feng climbed onto the roof of the warehouse as soon as possible, with the purpose of seeing clearly the landing point and approximate distance of the white spear. This is the place where he has lived at the doorstep of his home for nearly 20 years. Yue Feng can see clearly the surrounding terrain and the approximate landing position of the eagle.

After leaving the alley, he stretched out his long legs and ran wildly towards the southwest of the house.

This side is almost at the west end of the village. There are only a few rows of houses. Outside are the threshing grounds for the autumn harvest. Further out are the piles of firewood where every household stores them.

Yue Feng stood on the roof of the warehouse and watched the white gyrfalcon falling towards the firewood pile, so he ran towards that direction at almost the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Yue Feng’s prediction of the location was very accurate, and the white spear had good luck as well, falling from the sky and landing on top of a pile of firewood made of branches from various trees.

The eagle with a white background and reed-colored fur was very conspicuous on the pile of branches and firewood. Yue Feng could see it at a glance even from dozens of meters away.

The little guy was not dead. The thin branch took up most of the speed during the fall. He must have been dazed by the kick and was struggling to get up.

Yue Feng took a step forward to speed up and rushed towards the firewood pile. He spotted a few thicker logs at the middle of the pile and stepped on them for leverage. Then he reached out and grabbed the white spear from the top of the pile.

quack quack quack

The white gyrfalcon caught by Yue Feng also made a cawing sound, but the sound was a little hoarse and contained a hint of fear.

Bai Mao flapped his wings and struggled desperately, and tried to bite Yue Feng’s hand with his sharp beak.

At this critical moment, Yue Feng definitely couldn’t let go. He pulled his hands into his sleeves and used his sleeves to block Bai Mao’s bite.

By the time Wang Hu and Ye Jianjun caught up, Yue Feng had already come down from the pile of firewood.

“Caught?”

“Well! If you catch it, it will bite! I think you didn’t hit it in the vital parts! Let’s go home and put a hat on the eagle and check it out first!”

Yue Feng folded the eagle’s wings, then held the eagle in both hands and headed back home as if he was holding an old hen.

The white gyrfalcon hardly stopped squawking all the way.

When Yue Feng returned to the yard, the eight dogs that were still scattered in the yard came over after hearing the noise, wanting to see what their master had caught. Why did the noise sound a bit like that of Eagle Boss?

“Stay still, everyone! Don’t run around!” Yue Feng shouted, and the dogs that surrounded him immediately stayed still and dared not move.

Yue Feng entered the house, then took down the Big Black Eagle’s spare hat from the wall and put it on the White Spear, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The big black eagle is female, and its head is one size larger than that of the white spear. Fortunately, the back of this goldfish-eye eagle hat is a retractable structure. As long as the distance between the eyes is enough, this hat can be used temporarily.

After putting on the hat, the white gyrfalcon finally stopped screaming. Everything in front of its eyes was dark, its head drooped, and its body huddled up and did not move.

Yue Feng gently stretched out the hand that was controlling the eagle, and then adjusted the eagle’s position from belly up to back up.

The birds shot down by the Black Hawk were all attacked by the hawk from above, and the injuries were all on the back.

It was like this with the rabbit tiger before, and it is also like this white gyrfalcon today.

Yue Feng carefully blew air with his mouth to lift the feathers on the white spear’s back, and checked the feathers on the back and possible wounds under the fluff.

Yue Feng didn’t pay attention to it when he was anxious to catch the eagle on the parapet just now. After checking it, Yue Feng felt that the condition of this white spear was not good.

The luck of this white gyrfalcon was not as good as the last time’s hunting falcon. It was kicked on the back. The black eagle’s hind claws left a triangular wound on the white gyrfalcon’s back. There was an area as big as a coin around the wound, and all the feathers had fallen off.

This is the place where the tiger’s paw on the big black eagle’s claw kicked and hit. It has changed color at this moment. Needless to say, there must be blood bruises inside.

This is not the most serious injury. The more serious area is that four primary feathers are missing on the right wing of Baimao, and three primary feathers are also missing on the tail.

At this moment, blood was oozing from the place where the main feathers on the wings had been plucked out.

Here we need to explain that the structure of the wing feathers of birds of prey and poultry are somewhat different.

For poultry that have been domesticated by humans, such as chickens and ducks, the wings have degenerated and the connection between the quills of the primary feathers and the wings is relatively loose.

Even if it is forcibly pulled out, only a hole will be left, with little or no bleeding. After a while, a new quill will emerge.

In comparison, the structural strength of the wings of birds of prey is much greater. The very end of each primary feather is connected to the cartilage on the wing. It is not an exaggeration to say that the primary feathers grow on bones.

In this case, if the primary feather is forcibly pulled out, the wound will bleed significantly. After the bleeding stops, the wound will begin to recover. After the wound heals, a new feather tube will be produced.

If it is the molting season, the damage will be much less if the feathers fall off due to external force, and they will grow out in a short time. However, it is winter now and there are still several months before spring.

Now, it can be foreseen that the injury on the wing of this white gyrfalcon will not heal in a short time.

The loss of four primary feathers on one side can have a fatal impact on flight.

If you want to fly back into the sky, you need at least a month to recover. If you are unlucky, you may have to wait until spring to molt before new feathers grow.

“The black eagle has plucked out all the feathers on the wings and tail! Can they grow back?” Ye Jianjun asked anxiously after checking the injuries.

This is a gyrfalcon. Even though it is injured, as long as it can recover, it won’t be a problem if it takes a long time. Yue Feng will definitely not let go of the big black eagle. But for this white gyrfalcon, if possible, Ye Jianjun has started to think about it.
