Chapter 488 Purple Eagle Graduation
This old spotted rabbit jumped up from Xiao Tao’s feet, but it ran away at an extremely fast speed.

A rabbit weighing about four pounds was running in the grass, jumping and leaping. It looked very strenuous because the grass was too tall, which greatly reduced its running speed.

But this old fellow, who was obviously larger in size and of a significantly different color, was running wildly in the deep grass as if he were walking on flat ground.

Purple Eagle chased out immediately and launched the first attack by smashing the stake less than eight meters away.

However, the two previous attacks, which were effective immediately, failed in the face of this unusually large creature.

I watched the eagle swoop down at the rabbit, but its claws only caught a little hair.

The waist hoop was unstable, and the rabbit did not look back and continued to pull the eagle forward. Naturally, the other claw could not reach the vital parts such as the neck and trachea.

The old rabbit pulled the eagle forward two or three steps, changed direction, easily shook off the purple eagle, and continued to run wildly on the grass with big strides.

Although General Purple Eagle made a mistake in the first attack, he did not give up the subsequent attacks. After being freed, he pushed the ground with his claws to gain leverage, spread his wings again and chased after him.

After a little struggle and escape, in a few seconds, the old rabbit had run ten meters away.

However, even if the old rabbit ran fast and jumped high on the grass, it could not catch up with the falcon with wings.

General Purple Eagle flapped his wings violently, increasing his pursuit speed a lot, and he soon caught up again.

Pull up the position and dive down to hit the pile.

The trick that has worked time and time again failed to work against this old rabbit.

The old rabbit flying on the grass seemed to have eyes on its back. It seized the opportunity and did a classic drawer-pulling move to accelerate and change direction on the spot, directly avoiding the purple eagle’s diving pile-smashing attack.

After two consecutive failures, the Purple Eagle still did not give up. This time it did not land, but quickly rose again close to the ground, continued to chase, and launched the third round of attack.

As the old saying goes, old people become more cunning and clever, and old rabbits are not afraid of eagles.

The old rabbit’s behavior at this moment really lives up to the agricultural proverb that old rabbits are not afraid of eagles.

Purple Eagle continued to pursue and launched several close-range attacks, but they were all easily resolved by the Old Rabbit.

If you use heavy tools, you can grab a handful of hair; if you use light tools, you can’t even pull out the edges of the hair.

The brothers Xiao Tao and Yue Feng followed behind, panting, and as they chased, they saw the Purple Eagle swooping down again and again, making mistakes again and again.

“We’re in big trouble this time. This damn old rabbit is too smart. It seems the eagle can’t do anything to it!” Xiao Tao said anxiously.

Yue Feng was also quite looking forward to it at this moment. This kind of spotted old rabbit was rarer than the red-haired old rabbit. Even a broken eagle who had already participated in a full hunting season at home would find it difficult to finish the battle in a short time.

Yue Feng was just thinking about catching a bigger rabbit so that Ziying could hone his working skills.

But he overlooked one point: individuals who can grow to a relatively large size, in addition to being old and strong, will also be extremely experienced, and may have experience of escaping from the claws of eagles in the wild.

For the Purple Eagle, whose physical reserves are not that strong after just becoming an eagle, it is indeed a bit beyond the level.

“Don’t panic! Let’s shout a few times from the back to cheer for the eagle!!”

Yue Feng said something comforting, then stretched out his arms and shouted loudly.

“Wow!! @#￥%!”

Xiao Tao followed suit: “!@#￥%”

Oddly enough, the old rabbit was obviously disturbed by the dancing and loud shouting of the two people behind him.

Just then, taking advantage of the moment when it was slightly distracted while running wildly, the Purple Eagle swooped down again from a height of more than two meters.

puff!
With a dull thud, the eagle’s right claw grabbed the old rabbit’s buttocks. The grab was firm, and the big ring went straight through the skin and into the flesh.

The previous attempt to strangle the waist and neck had failed in actual combat, so this time it made new changes.

The right paw grabbed the buttocks, and the left paw went up to the spine. The old rabbit jumped up suddenly on the spot in pain, but failed to break free from the falcon’s iron claws.

The purple eagle was like a very coordinated gymnast. It stretched its wings and turned half a circle in the air in rhythm with the jump of its prey.

When it landed, the purple eagle seized the opportunity, turned around like lightning, loosened its right claw and grabbed the old rabbit’s head.

The right claw gripped firmly, and the left claw loosened and merged with the right claw.

The two claws instantly completed the technical skills of the tiger holding its head, the wings spread out, and the tail feathers tilted to one side, directly pinching the rabbit on the spot.

When an eagle catches a rabbit, the most energy-saving way is to hold the rabbit’s head with both claws, even for an old rabbit like this one.

The rabbit with its head strangled was still trying to struggle, but its head was pressed down by the entire weight of the eagle, and its sharp claws pierced its skin, so it was unable to break free.

After a few symbolic struggles, escape was hopeless and soon screams like a child were heard.

Wow wow wow wow!

At this moment, Xiao Tao and Yue Feng, who were less than 30 meters away from the scene, could finally enjoy a feast for the eyes.

The chase was like a rabbit jumping up and down, dodging and moving flexibly, smashing piles and pulling drawers, and making circles. Both sides were competing at a high level. The whole pursuit process had at least several ups and downs. It was so exciting.

“Hey, shouting a few times really works! The rabbit panicked and was caught by the eagle! Go!”

When Xiao Tao heard the rabbit’s desperate cry, he immediately quickened his pace, and with his two long legs, he pulled away in a few steps and soon arrived in front of General Purple Eagle. “Brother, Purple Eagle has changed its frame!” Xiao Tao shouted excitedly.

“What posture did you change to?” Yue Feng asked.

“Hold your head, double-clawed tiger hold your head!”

Hearing the three words “tiger hugs his head”, Yue Feng’s heart was completely relieved.

The Green Kitten, which weighs only 15 ounces, can temporarily control a large pheasant weighing several kilograms by holding its head. Now the Purple Eagle has given up on using brute force to strangle the rabbit’s waist and neck and has instead used its claws to hold its head. No matter how smart the rabbit is, it has no chance of breaking free.

When Yue Feng walked up to it a little late, he saw that, as expected, the falcon was holding its prey tightly in its claws. The eagle was on the upper body, and the rabbit was lying on its side at the lower position. Its center of gravity was suppressed, and its vital parts were completely controlled. Even with its most threatening hind legs, it could not reach the falcon hiding on the other side no matter how hard it kicked.

Even if Xiao Tao and Yue Feng did not participate in the follow-up, the eagle could strangle the rabbit to death on its own and end the battle.

“Well, this Purple Eagle has graduated!!” Yue Feng couldn’t help but sigh after taking a careful look around.

“The eagle has been tossing this rabbit around so hard that it’s gasping for breath. Let’s just kill the rabbit and feed the eagle, then go home, shall we?”

Xiao Tao squatted beside the eagle and lovingly touched the purple eagle’s tail that was rubbing against the ground with his hand.

After hearing what Xiao Tao said, Yue Feng immediately took out the first dead rabbit from the hunting bag and said, “Feed the eagle and call it a day! But don’t kill the rabbit!

It’s rare to see this old guy grow to this size! Now that we’ve captured him alive, let’s tie up his legs and take him back alive!”

“Okay! I’ll listen to you!!”

Xiao Tao immediately took out a rope from his pocket, made a knot, and tied the rabbit’s hind legs first.

In no time, he tied up all four legs of the rabbit and then replaced the dead rabbit with another one.

The purple eagle was very tired at this moment. It opened its beak and spread its wings, panting for at least a few minutes before it recovered. It stepped on the belly of the dead rabbit and lowered its head to peck at the flesh and blood exposed from the wound.

Xiao Tao handed the live rabbit to Yue Feng, and he carefully served the purple eagle. After a few bites, he dipped the blood in the beef he brought and fed the eagle a piece of meat. He only finished feeding when the eagle’s crop was about 80% full.

Speaking of this big rabbit, Yue Feng weighed it roughly in his hand. With the weight of a thin rope, the gross weight was no less than six and a half kilograms. It felt like a badger in his hand and was quite heavy.

“This old rabbit has lived for quite a few years! It must weigh at least six and a half kilograms!” Yue Feng said with certainty.

Xiao Tao looked around at the prey he had just caught and said: “This is the first time I’ve seen a wild rabbit of this color!

Last year, we used the Iron-backed Red Eagle to catch a five-and-a-half-pound old red-haired rabbit. I don’t think it’s small. Compared to this one, it’s at least one size smaller!”

“Don’t say it’s your first time seeing him, it’s my first time seeing him too.

I heard from my grandfather that there is a saying among the older generation that ordinary wild rabbits only live for two years. If they are lucky enough to survive two years, in the autumn of the third year, the fur on their backs will turn red and their weight will exceed five kilograms!

Above the red-haired old rabbit is this kind of flower reed rabbit. It is said that if the flower reed rabbit does not die and lives for a few more years, it can grow into a green-backed rabbit. However, we don’t know what the green-backed rabbit looks like! “

After hearing Yue Feng’s explanation, Xiao Tao carefully examined the bundled rabbits and said, “If that’s the case, then these rabbits are also rare!”

“Yes, that’s why I said, don’t rush to kill him, bring him back alive.

If there is a chance, let’s give Uncle Wang a gift to accumulate some incense and respect, so that our trip is not in vain! It is better to repair the road on a sunny day and walk on a rainy day than to cram at the last minute!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you! Let’s take the rabbit back alive!”

Xiao Tao agreed without hesitation.

On other matters, Xiao Tao might still express his own opinions, but when it comes to dealing with people and handling social relationships, Xiao Tao highly recognizes the way his elder brother does things. All the previous events have also proved that Yue Feng’s judgment and choice were correct.

It’s just a rabbit. To those who hunt with eagles all year round, its color and weight are not important. But giving it as a gift as a rarity is definitely a presentable gesture.

Having made up their minds, the two brothers headed back with the eagle mounted on their backs and the trophies on their backs. It was only a little before three o’clock and it was still early before dark.

Along the way, the two brothers were talking and laughing about the exciting battle of Purple Eagle catching the old rabbit, and unknowingly they returned to the back door.

The guard checked the ID cards, and after entering the gate, the two brothers strolled back along the path on the side of the playground.

As we were walking here, we heard a creaking sound coming from very high in the sky.

Yue Feng raised his head and glanced around out of habit, but found no target.

Xiao Tao also looked up and observed for a while, then casually said, “Look, there are so many wild geese. It feels like they are almost flying above the clouds!”

Yue Feng leaned his hands against the pergola and looked again and again, but still couldn’t see the geese that Xiao Tao mentioned.

“No way! Are you kidding me?”

“You are lying, you are a puppy. There are really wild geese. Alas, I can’t see them now. They are in a formation. They are flying too high and have gone above the clouds!”

Xiao Tao looked up for a while, then spread his hands helplessly.

It was just a common little episode and Yue Feng didn’t take it seriously. The two brothers returned to their residence humming a little tune.

Everything is ready, we just have to wait for the on-site evaluation in front of Uncle Wang tomorrow.
