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

The rabbit driven out by the Azure Dragon was an old rabbit with bright red fur, significantly larger than the young rabbit in front of it.

As mentioned more than once before, rabbits with reddish back fur are at least five years old.

These rabbits are old and have generally escaped from predators such as hunters and falcons, so they have rich experience in surviving in the wild.

The moment the white eagle took off in pursuit, the red-haired old rabbit, who was running wildly, spotted the pursuing enemy.

Unlike ordinary hares that would frantically try to escape upon seeing a large eagle, it only ran a symbolic distance of less than twenty meters before stopping prematurely.

When the white eagle caught up, the red-haired rabbit didn't flinch or dodge. Instead, it leaped up in the direction the eagle was charging from.

This jump startled Yue Feng.

Many people have heard the saying "rabbit kicks eagle," but very few have actually seen it.

Based on the literal meaning, the image of a rabbit kicking an eagle should mean that the rabbit is belly up and using its hind legs to attack and kill the eagle that is hunting it.

This statement is not entirely accurate.

The truly cunning old fox, when facing a falcon hunting him, relies on his back, not his legs.

Seizing the opportunity, it suddenly leaped up with its hind legs and then used its back to strike the eagle's crop.

If the impact is solid, an eagle of average size will be severely injured, if not killed.

Then look at the white eagle. Facing the red-haired old rabbit, which was behaving somewhat abnormally, the eagle reacted very quickly, flapping its wings to the side and dodging the full-force attack just as the rabbit jumped up and was about to collide with it.

The next second, the eagle spun around at low altitude and crashed down.

It may seem like a long time, but it's actually just a split-second reaction.

As soon as the red-haired rabbit landed, the white eagle immediately crashed down.

The eagle's talons still landed on the rabbit's rump, but the red-haired old rabbit had thicker fur and reacted faster.

The red-haired rabbit managed to grab something with its first paw, but before it could use its other paw to grab it, it suddenly rolled on the ground and ran away.

Then, the white eagle plucked out a red and white rabbit fur, landed on the ground, and stood there stunned for a good half second before taking off again to continue the chase.

Seeing that the rabbit's signature move of kicking the eagle was no longer a threat to the white eagle, the red-haired old rabbit then gave Yue Feng and the film crew a live demonstration of the art of escaping for their lives.

There are no decent obstructions within a few hundred meters around, so the view is quite open.

In the process of escaping the pursuit of the white eagle, the red-haired rabbit used every technique imaginable: sudden stops, changes of direction, pulling drawers, circling around, and dodging the eagle's talons.

Compared to the helplessness of ordinary hares when facing falcons, the old red-haired rabbit seemed completely at ease, showing no signs of pressure whatsoever.

Looking at that white eagle, its large size and slightly less agility were amplified when it encountered the red-haired old rabbit.

After several rounds of dodging and weaving, aside from managing to pluck a handful of rabbit fur at the beginning, he didn't manage to touch the edge of the rabbit in the subsequent rounds.

Over here, the eagle chasing the rabbit is dragging on and it's a bit frustrating, but Xiao Weimin's film crew is having a blast with their two cameras.

The rabbit runs and the eagle chases, dodging and turning around with various changes of direction and sudden stops. Each chase causes dust to fly up on the ground, making for a very exciting scene on camera.

After chasing for at least a few minutes, the white eagle once again emptied its hooves and had no choice but to land on the ground.

It wasn't that their physical strength was completely exhausted, but rather that their confidence in hunting and pursuing had been severely undermined.

Seeing the eagle land, the red-haired old rabbit quickly ran about twenty meters away and stood at a distance, staring at the landed eagle and the crowd around it.

Seeing this, the experienced Yue Feng knew that the white eagle would have a hard time easily taking down this seasoned old rabbit.

He frowned slightly, thought for half a second, and then gave the command to the returning Azure Dragon.

"Azure Dragon, go help our eagle chase that rabbit! Keep it on the outer edge, but don't get too close to bite! Be careful the eagle doesn't grab you!"

Upon hearing its master's command, the Azure Dragon barked twice and then charged towards the spot where the hare and the eagle were facing off.

During the time that the white eagle was training at home, Yue Feng did not conduct any training on how the eagle and the dog could bond.

Therefore, Yue Feng did not let the Azure Dragon chase the prey in a straight line, but instead had it circle around the prey to put pressure on it.

Eagles and dogs are not familiar with each other, and if a dog approaches rashly, it may even be attacked by the eagle.

The clever dragon knew that its master meant it was warning it to be careful of being caught by the eagle, so it acted quite alert from the moment it charged forward.

As they approached their target, they deliberately took a longer route, avoiding getting too close to the white eagle that had landed.

Then look at the old red rabbit. When it saw the hunting dog approaching, it immediately stopped being so cocky and turned to run away into the distance.

The rabbit started running, and the eagle, seeing this, immediately took off again and chased after the rabbit.

A four-legged hare can never outrun a winged falcon.

In just a few seconds, the white eagle caught up with the red-haired rabbit once again.

It was another powerful dive attack. The red-haired old rabbit spun around in place, pulled out a drawer, and pretended to run away.

As a result, about seven or eight meters directly in front of it, the Azure Dragon was already poised to pounce, staring at it menacingly.

Previously, in a one-on-one situation, the old rabbit still had the strength to maneuver the eagle.

Now, adding the variable Azure Dragon doesn't work anymore.

In that fraction of a second of hesitation, the white eagle, having turned around, swatted at the red-haired rabbit's rear end.

This strike was powerful and heavy; the eagle's claws dug deep into the flesh of the red-haired old rabbit's rump.

At that moment, the red-haired rabbit suddenly turned its head and bit at the eagle's talons.

When a rabbit is cornered, it will not only bite people, but it will also bite eagles.

At this moment, luck was on Yue Feng and the White Eagle's side.

The eagle's talon was secured with a snare, and the rabbit bit into the dense snare without directly injuring the eagle's talon.

Slightly in pain, the white eagle reflexively released its claws, allowing the red-haired rabbit to escape in a straight line.

Seeing this, the Azure Dragon barked a few times, and the Eagle, upon hearing the dog's bark, bristled with fur, wasting at least two seconds.

Seeing the eagle's unusual reaction, the Azure Dragon immediately lay still and lay prone. Its master had warned it not to flaunt itself with the eagle; if it got scratched, it would be the dragon that got hurt.

Seeing that the dog was lying motionless on the ground, the white eagle took off again and chased after the red-haired old rabbit that had run dozens of meters away.

After several chases and backtracking maneuvers, they had unknowingly run several hundred meters.

Xiao Tian and Xiao Weimin zoomed in as far as they could and realized that the chase between the eagle and the rabbit was not over yet. With just a glance, they picked up their equipment and chased after them.

Eagles and rabbits chased each other ahead, while dogs circled around to intimidate them. Behind them, several burly men, carrying heavy camera equipment, ran wildly across the vast wilderness by the riverbank.

The camera then focuses on the perspective of the rabbit and the falcon at the very front.

The red-haired rabbit dashed headlong for over a hundred meters, dodging the eagle's pursuit several times. Ahead was a narrow, constricted section of terrain where the riverbed narrowed and the land rose slightly.

Around the ridges where the water couldn't reach, there were many small grasses about a meter tall growing, and scattered shrubs along the banks.

The red-haired rabbit seemed quite familiar with its surroundings, and it ran towards this direction without looking back.

As it fled, it let out screams that sounded like those of someone caught by a falcon.

Hearing this sound, Yue Feng was also a little confused. The eagle hadn't even caught the rabbit yet, so why was the rabbit screaming?

As the rabbit drew closer to the bushes and tall grass, it suddenly swerved to avoid the swooping eagle and plunged headfirst into the tall grass.

Normally, if an eagle sees this kind of wormwood and shrubs, it will definitely give up the pursuit.

Birds of prey are very protective of their feathers, and grasses and shrubs can damage them.

But this time was different. The white eagle seemed to have been genuinely enraged by the red-haired rabbit's trickery, and it also plunged in headfirst.

Once inside the tall grass, it folded its wings and, like a free-range chicken, walked and chased each other on the ground.

Yue Feng and Xiao Weimin saw the wormwood stalks swaying back and forth, and they could occasionally hear the screams of wild rabbits.

Suddenly, the grass stopped moving and the sound of another strange animal screaming rang out.

Ow~~~
Upon hearing the drawn-out, trembling cry, Yue Feng's heart stirred, and he strode forward.

The next second, the screams changed, and a wailing sound came from the bushes.

It was vaguely visible that the white eagle was fighting with an animal that was clearly half a size larger than the red-haired rabbit.

The eagle's wings flapped, rustling against the wormwood, and a faint, intermittent hooting sound could be heard.

The white eagle and the indistinct animal rolled around on the ground again, and the battlefield moved from the grass to an open space at the edge of the grass.

Now, Yue Feng could see clearly what the eagle had caught.

Damn it, the one involved with the eagle was actually a small, reddish-brown fox.

The white eagle had one steel talon firmly locked onto the fox's muzzle, while its other talon gripped the fox's neck and trachea. Its wings and tail were spread wide, barely maintaining its balance.

That hoarse sound just now was the fox panting and making noises from its throat.

Eagles are small and at a clear disadvantage against animals like foxes, which have a significant weight advantage. However, the eagle's technique of locking its beak and throat prevents the fox from biting it. Although the eagle struggles violently, it is not in mortal danger.

Having assessed the situation, Yue Feng quickened his pace, rushed to the fox's side, bent down, and grabbed it by the neck. Then, with his left hand, he seized the fox's flailing front paws.

After controlling his prey, Yue Feng finally felt relieved.

This fox should be a sub-adult, about one year old. It felt rather thin when I handled it, unlike the plump and strong old foxes I used to catch.

With its owner's help, the pressure on the white eagle was greatly reduced. It flapped its wings, adjusted its posture, released the claw that was gripping the fox's neck, and directly grabbed the fox's head.

The steel claws were extremely sharp; a single grab would instantly leave four bloody holes. The fox, in pain, whimpered, but there was no way to escape.

Just as Yue Feng hesitated whether to loosen his grip on one hand to draw his knife and finish off the prey, the white eagle suddenly pecked at the fox's eyes without warning.

Well, the eagle has pushed him to the limit, so he's unlocked his blinding talent skill.

After taking a bite, the fox's left eye became a bloody mess, and it let out a scream.

Fearing that the fox might injure the eagle again, Yue Feng slightly rose and stomped hard on the prey's ribs and lungs.

The terrifying upright ape's kick was far more powerful, instantly injuring the fox severely, with blood spilling from its mouth and nostrils.

In the blink of an eye, the unlucky fox was barely breathing anymore.

Yue Feng observed for a few seconds, still uneasy, and only after confirming that it wasn't a disguise did he release his grip and let out a heavy breath.

At this moment, Xiao Weimin's film crew also arrived carrying their equipment.

"How's it going? Did you catch that old rabbit?" Xiao Weimin shouted from a distance of ten or twenty meters.

Yue Feng shook his head: "The rabbit got away!"

Xiao Weimin was slightly taken aback: "Ran away? Then what were you and Ying busy with?"

"The rabbit escaped, but the eagle caught a red fox!"
That damn old rabbit is too smart! No wonder it was screaming in pain as it ran!
It turns out they were using a diversionary tactic, a proxy attack to kill someone else!

"A fox? Step aside, let's shoot some footage!" Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Weimin immediately became interested.

Yue Feng shifted his position to make room for the camera, and then the two devices started filming the fox and eagle on the ground.

After they had filmed enough footage, Xiao Weimin asked, "You're saying the fox was lured here by the rabbit's calls?"

Yue Feng nodded: "You don't often fly hawks, so you don't understand the habits of rabbits! Most wild rabbits, except when they are dying and completely desperate, will not make a sound!"

The rabbit we just chased with the hawk has its back fur completely red; it's an old red-furred rabbit that's at least five years old!

This guy is smart; you all saw how he dealt with the eagle just now!
It must have known there were foxes around, and the screams it made during the chase were to attract the foxes' attention!

And it actually did it! The eagle disappeared into the tall grass and got mixed up with the fox!
Luckily, the people were nearby; otherwise, the eagle would have suffered a great loss!

After hearing Yue Feng's explanation, Xiao Weimin remained silent for two seconds, then let out a long sigh and exclaimed, "Old people are shrewd, old horses are slippery, and old rabbits are hard to catch. The proverbs left by our elders are really not just empty words!"

"I've really learned something new today! You stepped on the fox and killed it? What's next?"

Yue Feng glanced at the white eagle that was already squatting there, pecking at the fox's eyes.

"Eagle must be exhausted from this chase, it needs a proper rest!"

It was only its first day on the ground as an eagle, and it was only because of its good temperament and strong physique that it was able to fire several shots in a row!
That's all for today! Even if I don't have enough material, I'll update it tomorrow and come back to you all!

Xiao Weimin nodded: "Okay, the footage isn't much, but it's all top-quality! We won't shoot today, we'll come back tomorrow!"

Yue Feng nodded, pulled out his leg dart, and cut a gash at the corner of the fox's mouth.

The white eagle has really taken on a big task today, exceeding its usual level. First, we need to feed it well, and then give it a proper check-up.

The ravenous white eagle showed no resistance to the fresh fox meat and began pecking at it.

After eating at least 40% of his fill, Yue Feng took out the soaked meat he had prepared, dipped it in blood, and fed it to the eagle.

When the eagle had eaten about 70-80% of its fill, Yue Feng blocked its talons and hid the prey.

Now that the eagle has been fed, it's time to inspect it.

Upon this examination, Yue Feng frowned.

Damn it, something went wrong after all! (End of Chapter)
