Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 721 Old Wounds
A loud whistle rang out in the valley.
The black eagle and the white spear, which had been waiting in the sky for a long time, flapped their wings and rushed towards the herd of deer that had been circled back.
The air force's advantage of speed was on full display at this moment.
The hunting dogs and the deer herd galloped away, but they didn't get very far.
However, after the two falcons joined the battle, they flew hundreds of meters away with just a few flaps of their wings.
The big black eagle took the lead, aimed at the smallest half-grown fawn among the three sika deer below, and swooped down.
Whoosh! Snapped!
A heart-pounding whistling sound rang out, and the next second a black figure descended from the sky at incredible speed, kicking the deer behind the ear.
The sika deer calf, which was running wildly, suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground. It took it a few seconds to regain its balance.
The next second, just as Mai Tui was about to run forward again, the attack from the little white spear came down again!
Whoosh! Snapped!
Another kick, and this time the fawn was knocked to its knees, dizzy and completely unable to move.
"Keep chasing those ahead!!"
Yue Feng saw this and shouted loudly at the eagle in the distance.
Looking at Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear, they had already chased after the two adult deer ahead before their master gave the order.
In this small herd of three deer, there were no male deer; the remaining two were adult female deer.
If there were male deer, their antlers would pose a threat to the eagle. But now that it's just a female deer, the eagle is much more adept at cataract removal surgery.
The black eagle changed its target again and chased after the lead doe. After a dive attack, it adjusted its angle in mid-air.
The little white spear also joined the attack.
The doe was too large; the eagle's strike was no longer enough to penetrate its defenses and inflict effective damage.
Xiao Weimin and Xiao Tian kept adjusting the lens to check the effect in the viewfinder.
When I saw the big black eagle kick down the fawn and then attack the doe, my heart pounded with excitement.
Hearing a description from Yue Feng is one thing, but seeing it in person and filming it with equipment is quite another.
In the footage, the black eagle makes another feint attack, forcing the running doe to slow down.
Then, with a sudden stop and change of direction, the little white spear landed squarely on the doe's head.
In just over a second, the eagle took off again, while the doe, as if she had lost her sight, cried out and fled in panic.
He hadn't run more than a few steps when he tripped over the weeds and bushes on the ground and fell to the ground. He then struggled to get up and started spinning around.
"Xiao Tian, did you get the picture? That white eagle just swooped down and grabbed the deer's head!" Xiao Weimin asked anxiously.
He missed capturing this precious shot because his viewfinder was half a second too slow, so he had to ask Xiaotian, who was controlling another camera, for help.
Xiaotian: "I got the shot, it's a bit blurry because it was too fast, but you can see the eagle landing on the deer's head!"
"Thank goodness! Our equipment isn't good enough to shoot a high-definition version of this kind of shot! You keep an eye on it, Xiao Li, come with me, we're going to shoot a medium close-up!"
"profound!"
After a brief exchange with his colleagues, Xiao Weimin, carrying his camera, came down from the mound and approached the spot where the deer had been laid down.
The falcon made a brief move, and two deer were left behind, leaving only one still fleeing.
The four wolfhounds that had been chasing after the deer were a beat too slow. They rushed to the fawn and mother deer, and without their owner's prompting, they jumped up and bit the mother deer's neck. In just a few seconds, they suffocated her and brought her to the ground.
"Canglong, go chase that deer ahead! You guys go chase it too!" Yue Feng gave the dogs a new order from dozens of meters away.
Upon hearing the call, the Azure Dragon abandoned its prey without hesitation and chased after the last doe with all its might.
This doe was quite agile; it reacted very quickly to the swooping attacks of the black eagle and the little white spear.
The black eagle risked landing on her head to blind her, but the doe actually buried her head in the grass and rolled around on the ground.
This counterattack is deadly to the eagle.
Seeing this, the big black eagle and the little white spear immediately dared not risk pecking at the eyes anymore, and instead swooped down again and again to drive the dog's henchmen behind them.
When the Azure Dragon and his three brothers caught up, the Great Black Eagle once again launched a powerful swoop to stop the doe's escape.
The incredibly fast azure dragon seized its opportunity, leaped forward, and bit the doe's hind hoof.
In an instant, both the dog and the deer lost their balance and fell onto the grassland in the valley.
With the physique of a blue dragon, this level of exercise would not cause any injury. The female deer would be in a similar situation, except that her speed would be significantly reduced.
But for deer, without speed, they can only wait to die.
The azure dragon had three brothers from the same mother, while the doe had none.
In an instant, the black tiger, leopard, and greedy wolf that followed all pounced on the deer. Some of the dogs grabbed the deer's front shoulder, while others bit its hind legs and rump. The four dogs pinned the doe down and made it unable to move.
Xiao Weimin carried the camera, originally intending to film the scene of the dogs subduing the doe and then feeding.
Unfortunately, before they could even eat, Yue Feng gave the order and the dogs all went after another deer.
This gave Xiao Weimin a chance to film up close the falcon working with the pack of dogs to attack the last doe.
The entire scene—within fifty meters, Xiao Weimin swooped down to drive the falcon, the lead dog leaped into the grass and rolled around, and the helper dog caught up and subdued the doe in an instant—was captured on camera.
"Hahaha, that was so much fun! So much fun! Xiao Feng, I filmed the whole hunting process of that last deer!" Xiao Weimin said to Yue Feng excitedly.
Yue Feng caught up, panting: "You got the shot? That's good! I was worried you wouldn't get a clear shot, so I didn't whistle to get the eagles involved right away!"
"Xiao Tian managed to get a shot of the eagle pecking at the eyes, but I didn't get a chance to film it! But it's enough!" Xiao Weimin said.
"Do you need some more close-up shots? The deer is still alive. There are many of us. How about we tie it up and carry it back alive?" Yue Feng asked.
"Close-up shots would be best! But it's okay if you don't! If we can carry this deer back alive, we can use its blood and stuff!"
"That's right! Deer blood is a good thing. If we slaughter and bleed them now, it would be a waste if we didn't have the right equipment to hold it!"
However, if you're filming close-up shots of feeding dogs and eagles, and even a fawn kicked to death by an eagle!
"That fawn, it was kicked to death?" Xiao Weimin was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
In the footage, it saw the fawn kneeling on the ground and thought it was just stunned by the kick.
Yue Feng replied, "He's dead. He had head injuries, and his nostrils, ears, and eyes were bleeding!"
Under normal circumstances, the maximum weight of prey that an eagle can directly threaten during a high-speed dive is only about 30 kilograms!
"Once they get any bigger, it becomes very difficult for them to deliver a fatal dive-bombing strike!"
"Then let's deal with the fawn! I'll film some scenes of feeding the eagles and dogs!"
"All done! Wait a moment, I'll tie this doe up with a rope!"
Yue Feng called out, took out a rope from his bag, and skillfully tied a slipknot. He then started tying the rope from the deer's hind legs, and finally tied all four hooves securely before letting the dogs let go and rest.
After tying up the first doe, Yue Feng went to tend to the blind deer. There were no tall trees in the valley, and the blind deer stumbled and fell everywhere, but it didn't hurt itself. It even struggled symbolically when it heard the noise.
Yue Feng used a simple trick to tie the deer's neck with a rope, and then bound its four hooves.
After dealing with two live does, Yue Feng came to the fawn that had been kicked to death.
This fawn, judging by its appearance, weighs about 30 pounds and should be a fawn born this spring.
The fawn was already dead. Its ears, nostrils, mouth, and eyes were congested with blood, and it had suffered a fatal head injury from being kicked.
Yue Feng skillfully cut open the deer's carotid artery and hung it upside down by its hind legs.
Some blood flowed out, and then Yue Feng cut open the wound on the spot.
Before making the cut, Yue Feng glanced at the deer's rump and frowned slightly.
There is an old laceration on the right hind leg of the fawn.
The wound has begun to scab over, and judging from the timeline, it's an old injury from about three to five days ago.
"What are you thinking about, Xiao Yue? The fawns are too small, can't you bear to see them fall?"
Xiao Weimin was adjusting the camera, ready to film the next scene, when he noticed Yue Feng wasn't moving and asked curiously.
Yue Feng's expression turned slightly serious: "It's not that I can't bear it, it has nothing to do with that! Do you remember what my master told us before we came here?"
"Hmm? The old man said there might be red dogs or wolves around here, and told us to be careful!" Xiao Weimin repeated.
"Yes! Look at the wound on this fawn's rump! I suspect there really are red dogs around Deer Cry Valley! This wound was most likely left by one of those red dogs!"
As Yue Feng spoke, he showed Xiao Weimin the scabs and wounds on the fawn.
"Can you tell it's Red Dog from these scars?" Xiao Weimin glanced at the old wounds and asked curiously.
He didn't know how to hunt, let alone the hunting habits and attack characteristics of different wild animals, so he had no idea about the wound on the deer's rump.
Yue Feng nodded and explained, "Look at this scar. It's on the fawn's rump. When the fawn stood up, it was about 70 centimeters tall!"
A laceration, with a clear canine bite mark on the front of the wound, and a gap torn open on the back!
There aren't many beasts with such teeth and the ability to match their attack height!
I can only think of two kinds: yellow-throated marten and red dog!
Yellow-throated martens are slow, making it very difficult for them to chase deer calves in this kind of river valley. The most likely target is a red dog!
Moreover, there is another point that corroborates our guess!
Look, at this time of year, a herd of deer should consist of at least four or five, or even seven or eight, together! A herd should have at least one adult male deer!
But the herd we encountered today only had two female deer and one injured fawn!
I suspect that most likely one of their kind was ambushed and attacked by the red dog, the deer herd was scattered, and perhaps even the larger deer was hunted down by the red dog!
After listening to Yue Feng's reasoned and well-founded analysis, Xiao Weimin frowned slightly.
He glanced around: "If it really is Red Dog, are we humans and the hounds safe? We brought an automatic rifle!"
"Hmm! It's not that dangerous! Putting aside everything else, my big black eagle alone could take down a whole pack of red dogs!"
Jackals have an incredible bite force and a very high jumping ability, but they're not very big, weighing at most twenty or thirty pounds! Big Black Hawk has kicked more than one to death before!
"That's good! Since our eagles are naturally good at dealing with jackals, I was worried it wouldn't come! Perfect for capturing some valuable footage!"
"Haha, that's going to be tough. Those jackals are very cunning. There are too many of us, so they're unlikely to show themselves!"
"Meeting is fate, and if we don't, so be it, we won't force it! We have enough material for today!"
The device is running low on battery, let's film the feeding part first, I'll save some battery for later!
"it is good!"
Yue Feng responded and continued wielding the knife, quickly removing the deer cub's internal organs. He then called the eagle and the dog over.
With no tall trees nearby to perch on, the big black eagle simply landed on the black tiger's back and crouched there.
The dog didn't resist the eagle boss's close contact at all.
The Azure Dragon's fur was still wet, and it grumbled at the Big Black Eagle, as if to say, "Why won't you let me carry you?"
Holding a knife, Yue Feng skillfully cut off the deer heart.
"Come on, Black Hawk, eat some meat! This deer heart is yours!"
Upon hearing the call, the big black eagle immediately jumped in front of Yue Feng, snatched the meat, and ate it by stepping on it.
After feeding the big black eagle, Yue Feng cut off a piece of deer liver and gave it to the waiting little white spear.
After the two eagles finished their meal, Yue Feng distributed the remaining deer entrails to each of the dogs, starting with Canglong.
There weren't many offal pieces, and the dog quickly finished eating. Yue Feng didn't hesitate and started pulling out strips of meat from under the hind legs of the fawn.
The dogs that did the hard work and contributed their labor, according to the old rule, only what's left after they've eaten their fill belongs to the owner.
Although the lamb meat was quite precious, Yue Feng didn't break the rules and allowed the four dogs to eat at least one hind leg until their bellies swelled up before stopping the feeding.
Yue Feng patted Canglong's head and looked at Xiao Weimin: "Alright, Gouzi and Yingzi have been fed enough!"
The remaining venison is our lunch!
It's already past eleven o'clock, so let's not rush back. Let's have lunch on the mountain. How about I arrange some roasted venison for everyone?
This meat is the finest of venison, much fattier and more succulent than that of an adult deer!
Xiao Weimin spent the whole morning either traveling or carrying equipment to chase prey, and his stomach had been growling for a long time.
Upon hearing Yue Feng say this, he was the first to nod in support.
"Okay, but I didn't bring any seasoning! If I had known there would be fresh venison, bringing some seasoning would have been perfect!"
Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe, I brought it with me! Fine salt, chili powder, and cumin powder! I packed it before I left this morning!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's walk back a bit, find a place to gather some firewood, and have some wild roasted venison!"
"go!"
……
Without further ado, Yue Feng hoisted the deer meat onto his back and headed back with the dog and the falcon.
There's no firewood in the grass here; if you want to barbecue, you'll have to walk a bit further to the edge of the woodland.
Anyway, the important business was done, and it was still early before dark, so everyone was quite relaxed.
The group arrived near the buffer zone. Yue Feng casually put the fawn on the ground and then quickly began skinning and deboning it.
This amount of venison is more than enough to roast for five adults; it would be a feast.
Over here, the people who had gathered firewood began to return one after another.
Yue Feng lit a fire, placed the tender venison in front of it, and waited for the meat to cook before sprinkling on the seasonings and starting to eat.
Just then, a chirping sound, like birdsong, suddenly came from the edge of the woods in the distance.
Hearing the commotion, Yue Feng abruptly looked up and grabbed the AK automatic rifle beside him. (End of Chapter)
