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

After feeding the eagle, Yue Feng casually stuffed the gutted wild rabbit into his hunting bag.

"Director Xiao, let's go! Do we need to reshoot any other scenes?" Yue Feng asked proactively.

Xiao Weimin shook his head: "Not for now. I just filmed you feeding the eagle and the dog!"

Now I completely believe what you said; these two hawks of yours are not the same as other hawks!

"Hehe! It's nothing, it's just that the intelligence of birds of prey like the gyrfalcon is a bit higher than that of ordinary eagles!"
It's just proper domestication, plus a bit of luck! It's not as mystical as outsiders make it out to be!

"This eagle's performance since it left home today has surprised me more than once!"

"I wonder if our black and white duo will be as swift and decisive as before if they spot that old red rabbit again later!"

When this topic came up, Yue Feng was quite confident.

The mountainous area surrounding the south bank of the river is mostly flat with excellent views, making it ideal for gyrfalcon hunting.

The place where we encountered the fox yesterday had a slightly uneven terrain, but with the Azure Dragon's assistance, the eagle should have no problem catching that red-haired old rabbit.

"Unless it gets up from its hiding place and crosses the river to the woods on the north bank before we even notice it, the red-haired rabbit is doomed!" Yue Feng said with absolute certainty.

Xiao Weimin: "Let's go, it's not far from there! Let's give it a try!"
Xiaotian, walk a few more steps forward, and you can start capturing footage now. Don't worry about wasting film!

"Yeah! Eagles are too fast, I definitely have to anticipate and shoot in advance, otherwise, I won't have a chance to lock onto the target!" Oda replied.

Soon, the group continued walking and arrived at the area where the red-haired rabbit had been found the day before.

The Azure Dragon knew that its master was going to avenge his previous defeat today, so it became extremely active and excited after arriving nearby.

It sniffed around for suspicious scents and then kept darting around the field.

According to the pre-arranged script, the rabbit should have been in this area, hiding somewhere when the Azure Dragon found it, chased it away, and then kicked to death by the Black Eagle, ending the battle.

Unfortunately, after sniffing around, the Azure Dragon found nothing.

"Damn, that old rabbit must have escaped! It's not in this area!" Yue Feng shaded his eyes with his hand and looked around, saying with some disappointment.

"Well, if we can't find it, we can't find it! We're lucky!"

Xiao Weimin knew how powerful Canglong's sense of smell was. If the dog couldn't find its prey, it meant that the prey was definitely not in the area in front of it.

Just as the two were exchanging a few words and deciding to give up hunting the red-haired old rabbit and continue advancing, the Azure Dragon suddenly charged straight towards a pile of tall grass.

It walked up to it, lowered its head and sniffed for about two seconds, then turned around and walked away in a straight line.

Yue Feng noticed the dog's subtle movements and immediately strode over to where the dog had been standing and bent down to examine it.

Beneath the wormwood stalks, a shallow hollow where someone had been lying down appeared before me.

This shallow burrow was most likely one of the places where the old red rabbit had previously hidden, but it had already left before the hunting party arrived.

Based on Yue Feng's understanding of the Azure Dragon Incense Head, the shallow nest they just visited was most likely left not long ago. The Azure Dragon had detected the scent but hadn't locked onto its target.

Yue Feng made a preliminary judgment in his mind, then stood up and continued walking forward.

As they moved, he casually glanced at the trajectory of the Azure Dragon out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing the Azure Dragon move in a straight line along the riverbank and then arrive directly at the river, Yue Feng frowned slightly.

No! It's not that the dog didn't lock onto the scent.

The scent was pinpointed, but the source of the scent traveled directly across the shallow river to the other side.

Experienced hunters who truly understand hunting know one thing: water can block most smells.

The scent left by footprints on the ground can be blocked, and the scent in the air will also be greatly weakened by the washing away of water vapor from the river.

Even with the Azure Dragon's exceptional sense of smell, it was still somewhat powerless against a target that had already crossed the river.

"That red-haired old rabbit should have gone to the other side of the river! The dog followed the scent and stopped at the water's edge!" Yue Feng told Xiao Weimin truthfully.

"Let's go to the other side then! It's not like we absolutely have to catch it!"

"Keep searching! We'll be content if we can capture a few decent shots!" Xiao Weimin advised after listening to his advice.

“Okay!” Yue Feng replied, preparing to continue walking forward.

Could it be that this red-haired old rabbit has really become a spirit, and even though we came prepared today, we still couldn't catch it?

Yue Feng didn't say anything more, but he was somewhat unconvinced, after all, he now had the best eagle and the best dog.

Just as Yue Feng was hesitating whether to give the dog a command to wade across the river and search the other side, Canglong barked loudly towards the north side of the opposite bank.

The dog's bark immediately drew everyone's attention.

Yue Feng immediately checked the direction on the opposite bank.

On a hillside on the north bank of the river, about 150 meters away, the old red rabbit was squatting there, checking the group's positions while shaking off its still-damp fur.

This reignited Yue Feng's anger, which he had just managed to suppress.

Yue Feng: "I see that red-haired old rabbit, on the hill at one o'clock on the opposite bank!"

"Azure Dragon, after him! Wade across and catch that guy!"

At Yue Feng's command, Canglong jumped into the river without hesitation and dog-paddled quickly toward the opposite bank.

The water is actually quite shallow, maybe about a meter deep at most.

However, although the river wasn't frozen at this time of year, the water was freezing cold, and anyone with a modicum of sense would definitely not go in. The feeling of having your clothes and shoes soaked through was unpleasant.

In contrast, the Azure Dragon is not so particular.

At its master's command, it charges forward without hesitation, carrying out the order without any deviation.

When the red-haired old rabbit on the opposite bank saw the dog wading across the river to catch it, it immediately turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Yue Feng whistled at the eagle in the sky.

The river was seven or eight meters wide, and the dog was still in the water.

Upon hearing its master's whistle, the eagle in the sky immediately swooped down.

Eagles have much better eyesight than humans and dogs, and they actually spotted the hare sunbathing a long time ago, but their owner didn't give the order.

Now the little dog waded across the river to chase after it, and the owner whistled. The big black eagle immediately swooped down at high speed, heading straight for the fleeing red-haired old rabbit.

This red-haired old rabbit has quite a lot of experience when facing attacks from birds of prey.

The ordinary hare that was kicked to death by the black eagle not long ago had no effective reaction to the swooping sound of the eagle swooping down from the sky.

However, this red-haired old rabbit reacted in advance when the black eagle swooped down in mid-air.

With its hind legs pressing down, it suddenly leaped more than half a meter high, performing a koi-like somersault, like a bighead carp flipping over in the river.

In this state of relative motion, the big black eagle swooped down, grazing the edge of the red-haired old rabbit but failing to hit its target.

After the eagle whizzed past, the red-haired rabbit turned and fled towards the distant woods. Its seemingly inevitable swoop missed, and the black eagle cawed in dissatisfaction before turning and climbing to a height of about thirty or forty meters, preparing to swoop down again to attack the rabbit.

The running rabbit suddenly came to a screeching halt, and a white shadow swept past its head.

The little white spear's attack was also dodged by its anticipation.

This experienced old rabbit knew that there was a gap in the falcon's swooping attack, so it dodged it, immediately raised its head, and continued running.

By the time the black eagle swooped down for the second time, it had already moved at least seven or eight meters in a straight line.

Another brilliant anticipation and evasion; the black eagle grazed past and snatched a handful of rabbit fur.

The slightly staggering red-haired rabbit couldn't withstand the double attack from the two falcons and gave up on continuing its straight escape, instead darting into the nearby cottonwood bushes.

The cotton locust twig is not uncommon in Northeast China. It can be cut down and used to weave baskets and other items, and it is much more durable than willow twigs.

This thing is very resilient; it grows from a single root without branches, and once it grows, it forms a clump.

Just when Yue Feng thought that the red-haired rabbit would burrow into the bushes to avoid the eagle's pursuit, the creature suddenly darted out from the other side and jumped high again.

The next second, something unbelievable happened to everyone present.

The little white spear swooped down again to launch an attack, but at that moment, the red-haired old rabbit jumped up and crushed the cottonwood branch, which bounced back up like a whip.

Whoosh!
With a whistling sound, the right wing of the little white spear grazed the edge of the rebound trajectory of the cottonwood twig.

It was less than a centimeter off!

This really scared Yue Feng.

This red-haired old rabbit is truly a genius; not only can it kick an eagle, but it can also "press down a branch."

The rabbit's leap from the cottonwood thicket to the other side and jump high wasn't simply a matter of dodging an attack.

This guy's goal was to use his weight to knock down the branches of the cottonwood tree, so he could use them as weapons to fight back when the eagle swooped down to attack.

In other words, the little white spear had a slightly narrower wingspan and was faster; luckily, it wasn't hit by the rebounding cottonwood twigs.

Otherwise, if he were to take a solid hit like that, even if his wings didn't break, several of his feathers would be snapped off.

If you're hit in a vital area like the head or neck, you'll be half-dead even if you don't die.

call out!call out!
Fearing that the rabbit might attack again and actually hurt the eagle, Yue Feng immediately urged the eagle to blow its whistle.

Two eagles were circling above the cottonwood bushes, looking for an opportunity, when they heard their master's whistle and immediately soared back.

Quack, quack, quack!

The big black eagle cackled somewhat discontentedly.

The meaning is quite simple: we haven't caught our prey yet, why are you calling us back!
Two eagles circled low above Yue Feng's head, less than ten meters away. If Yue Feng stretched out his arm, the eagles would fall directly down.

Yue Feng glanced at the Azure Dragon, which was almost swimming to the other side of the river. Instead of reaching out to let the eagle land, he deliberately paused for a few seconds, letting the eagle hover overhead.

Five seconds later, Canglong climbed ashore, shook off the river water, and charged toward the cotton bushes where the red-haired hare was hiding.

Yue Feng had been waiting for this opportunity.

Dogs can burrow into bushes to drive out prey, and eagles can use their speed advantage to work in tandem with their canine companions.

A lone eagle has little chance against a rabbit that has scurried inside to hide, but with the help of a blue dragon, it's a different story.

call out!
Yue Feng whistled again and shouted, "Azure Dragon, bite!"

Upon hearing their master's command, the two eagles turned around and went back.

Once authorized, the Azure Dragon plunged headfirst into the cotton tree.

The rabbit could no longer hide and had no choice but to flee.

It had only darted less than two meters when the giant black eagle swooped down and kicked it in the back, sending it tumbling several times before finally coming to a stop.

The kick broke the rabbit's spine, but it wasn't instantly fatal.

The red-haired rabbit struggled to its feet, pawing at the ground with its front legs as it tried to run again, but Little White Spear delivered another kick to the back of its head.

puff!
That kick was a knockout!

Quack, quack, quack!

Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear captured their target, squatted down next to the rabbit, and started cawing again.

"That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!!"

It wasn't until the dog, with the help of the two eagles, completely subdued the red-haired rabbit that Xiao Weimin, who had been holding his breath while filming, finally couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.

Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the eagle and the dog had killed the rabbit.

This damn red-haired old rabbit can even perform such an advanced counterattack as pressing down on a slingshot.

If I had been a little less lucky, the boast I had just made would have been slapped in the face by this clever rabbit.

"Damn, we almost got caught off guard!" Yue Feng muttered to himself.

"What do we do next? Shall we wade across?" Xiao Weimin asked excitedly, his eyes shining.

"No need, did you film the footage just now?" Yue Feng asked.

"I captured it! It's amazing."

"This red-haired old rabbit only got the chance because it encountered your dog and eagle. If it had been the white eagle from yesterday, it would probably have been even more seriously injured!" Xiao Weimin couldn't help but sigh.

"This rabbit is truly a spirit! Azure Dragon, bring the rabbit to me!" Yue Feng called out from where he stood.

The next second, Canglong responded, picked up the rabbit from the ground, and ran towards its master.

The two eagles saw the little dog carrying its prey back, but they weren't alarmed. They quickly spread their wings, flew to Yue Feng's side, and landed on his arm.

When the dog returned with its prey, everyone saw the legendary red-haired rabbit up close for the first time.

It is at least two sizes larger than an average young rabbit, round and plump.

The rabbit fur, still damp and not completely dry, turned a distinct crimson red when held up to the sunlight, only slightly less vibrant than that of a red fox.

What surprised Yue Feng the most was that this rabbit had more than one scar on its body.

The rabbit's left foreleg is missing, possibly broken by a trap. There are old injuries on its hind legs and buttocks, and there are marks on its side that look like they were left by a shotgun.

Even before Yue Feng and his group had even skinned the rabbit, there were already three noticeable, more serious scars on its body. Countless other smaller marks followed.

Originally, Yue Feng and his group were quite indignant about this red-haired old rabbit who had repeatedly jumped around, formed a grudge against them, and even provoked them.

After seeing the scars all over its body that had already healed, Yue Feng's original desire to chop it into eight pieces and stew it with radish vanished without a trace.

If Yue Feng wasn't mistaken, this old rabbit had achieved the complete set of accomplishments: gun leak, dog leak, eagle leak, and trap leak—a true grand slam. (End of Chapter)
