Chapter 37: Fire Attack on the Squirrel Cave

Although greyhounds are not a challenge for the Great Green Kites, their numbers are far less than those of the Sand Chickens and Flying Dragons.

This creature has its own territory in the pine forest, so the density is not too high. In this case, two can be caught at one time. Apart from the possibility of male and female pairing during the breeding season, the two squirrels are most likely related by blood, but after they grew up and left their nests, there was a certain overlap in their territories.

After getting the two squirrels, Yue Feng continued walking along the ridge. For the next twenty minutes, apart from the occasional bird calls, there was no new discovery in the huge forest.

Could it be that I am late?
It is indeed possible. Squirrels are very interesting animals. They like to be active in the early morning and late evening. When the sun rises, they will hide in tree holes or nests.

It was past seven when Yue Feng came back from the city. After making a circle and arriving at the red pine forest, it was past eight o’clock. It took a lot of time to catch the first two, and now it was already ten past nine.

It seems that I have to use the second trick!
Yue Feng did not give up and continued searching. He shifted his attention from the ground to the surrounding tree holes.

Squirrels have the habit of storing food. In the autumn when food is abundant, they collect pine nuts, hazelnuts, autumn nuts and other foods and store them in tree holes to eat during the winter.

Generally, these tree holes are not obstructed and can be easily found if you observe carefully.

Yue Feng focused on observing the older trees and soon found the first tree hole.

The bottom of the tree hole is about ten centimeters above the ground and extends upward to a height of more than three meters.

Yue Feng knocked on the tree trunk, and a hollow muffled sound was heard.

The next second, Yue Feng looked around and found pine torches next to a fallen tree.

This thing is everywhere in Northeast China, and every household uses it to make fire. Later, it was hyped up by unscrupulous businessmen as amber wood, and even given the elegant name of northern agarwood.

This thing is very easy to ignite due to its high oil content, and even after ignition, it will not burn completely and will emit black smoke.

Yue Feng picked up a few pieces and lit them with matches. Then he picked out a small piece smaller than the matchbox, blew out the flame, and stuffed it into the tree hole at his feet.

The smoke went upwards, and soon smoke began to come out of the hole above.

Yue Feng held the Big Blue Kitten and prepared for battle. Both man and eagle focused their attention on the entrance of the cave.

Suddenly, a large greyhound came out of the cave and climbed up the tree trunk.

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng decisively released the Big Green Kites upwards.

This was a brand new attempt. The Great Blue Harrier was good at ground raids or aerial pursuits within a range of 20 to 30 meters, but this type of vertical flight combat method was the first time for Yue Feng to use it.

However, the Great Blue Harrier did not disappoint Yue Feng.

After it made the move, it flapped its wings rapidly, and using the speed of its hands, it chased after the squirrel above its head very quickly.

The squirrel ran around the tree trunk, and the kite was flying in circles beside the tree chasing it. Yue Feng was not idle either. He picked up a wooden stick from the ground and started hitting the tree trunk.

The squirrel was frightened and jumped from one tree to another in an attempt to escape. The Great Green Kitten saw the opportunity and swooped down to grab the squirrel before it had landed and had not yet stabilized. This time, the Great Green Kitten did not grab the greyhound’s head first. It chose the back of the squirrel as the easier target for its claws. After grabbing the squirrel, it used its wings to pull it behind it. The squirrel was pulled away from the tree trunk and fell from a height of several meters.

The greyhound fell freely to the ground, and the great blue kite folded its wings and dived down like a torpedo.

As soon as the squirrel landed, the eagle claw attack came with strong wind.

The Great Green Kitten grabbed the greyhound’s neck with its left paw. When the squirrel turned around to try to bite it, the Great Green Kitten used its right paw to hit its face. After the right paw was firmly grasped, the left paw turned around and also used it to seal the squirrel’s mouth.

The series of actions seem to be quite slow when described, but in fact the whole pursuit process is completed in just a few seconds. From the swooping down, to the first grab of the neck, the second grab of the face, and the third grab of the head, the total time is almost completed in one breath.

When Yue Feng released the hawk and rushed over, both the weasel and the greyhound had been controlled by the hawk with its head held by the double-clawed tiger. It was the first time that Yue Feng had seen a falcon perform technical moves on its prey at such a close distance.

Even though he had lived two lives as a human being and had decades of experience in eagle hunting, Yue Feng was still deeply shocked when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

Birds of prey have reflex nerve speeds far exceeding those of ordinary mammals, and possess the strongest combat capabilities at the same weight. The magic of nature’s creator is fully revealed at this moment!
Squeak, squeak, squeak!

A series of squirrel screams rang out, and the Great Green Kitten spread its wings like a victorious general, and held the greyhound’s head tightly with its claws, making it unable to move.

Yue Feng hurriedly put down the wooden stick in his hand and rushed to the eagle.

He put on gloves, put the dead squirrel on it, and quickly replaced the screaming squirrel on the ground.

Another intact greyhound is in hand!
Yue Feng used the same trick again and stuffed the second living greyhound into the cage, then squatted down and let the blue kite tear the flesh of the first squirrel.

It is definitely impossible for the falcon to eat its fill in one breath. No matter how skilled the falcon is at hunting, it will not be able to work properly if it eats its fill in one breath. However, hunting with such intensity as just now consumes a huge amount of the falcon’s physical strength. Yue Feng let the kite take seven or eight bites of meat into its crop before he took the dead squirrel off.

I poured a capful of clean water from the kettle and used it to wet the mouth of the Great Blue Kitten. The little guy was smart enough to drink a sip of water. His feathers tightened, and then his tail feathers drooped. Soon the feathers under his crotch slowly loosened.

Yue Feng’s trick of using pine oil to fumigate the squirrel hole was indeed effective. After holding the hawk for about five minutes, the kite’s feathers relaxed. It raised its tail and a straight eagle feather shot out like an arrow. The eagle poop that fell to the ground was clearly black and white.

The eagle had loosened its feathers and rested, and Yue Feng got up from the ground, took out the still smoking pine torch, and continued to look for the next squirrel hole suitable for “fire attack”.

……

While Yue Feng was wandering in the pine forest, on another Pheasant Ridge, the Zhang brothers were also searching the mountain for possible prey with their eagles.

At about six o’clock in the morning, the two Zhang brothers came to Yue Feng’s house to have breakfast and capture the falcon. They ate two-grain steamed buns, meat oil and pickled vegetables, and barley porridge until they were about 90% full. They were eager to go into the mountains to catch more prey and sell it for more money.

After a day of actual combat yesterday, the eagle nicknamed Huang Dabinger by Xiaowu had been basically tamed. Today it was a relatively familiar old place. The eagle caught several chickens in a row and was in a very good mood. The two brothers decided to take down the hanging string.

It’s Monday, the first day of the trial launch. So far, the data growth is not ideal. Not only has the new book ranking not risen, it has fallen by nearly 20 places.
