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

The old rabbit running ahead, seeing the eagle catching up, consciously slowed down slightly. Just as the eagle swooped down, it made a series of left and right evasive maneuvers.

This move resembles Allen Iverson's crossover dribble in the NBA, giving him an immediate and absolute advantage.

The sparrow, carrying the great blue eagle, launched its attack with incredible speed. Its outstretched left claw grazed the rabbit's back by less than ten centimeters.

Having failed in its first attack, the great blue eagle decisively spread its wings and tail, instantly landing on the ground to dissipate the force, then leaped up and took off again to continue its pursuit.

At this point, it becomes clear that this eagle has a wealth of practical experience.

When a fledgling hawk catches a rabbit, if the prey moves out of its way, it will usually use its tail speed to regain altitude, turn around in the air, and continue the pursuit.

Only truly intelligent eagles understand that landing temporarily and taking off again takes less time than turning around in the air.

The rabbit, having shaken off the falcon, sprinted straight ahead, but before it had gone ten meters, the falcon caught up with it again.

This time, the old rabbit tried to use the same trick again, but the sparrow carrying the big blue eagle didn't fall for it.

The large blue eagle, which was chasing after the rabbit at low altitude and high speed, did not attack with its claws after flying above the rabbit's head. Instead, it made a feint attack, lowered itself slightly, and then rose up to a height of about two meters. With a fold of its wings, it crashed down like a round brick.

When Yue Feng saw the sparrow carrying the big blue eagle and smashing the stake, his heart skipped a beat.

I didn't realize this eagle could do this!

A rabbit can use left and right feints to dodge a falcon that is approaching at normal speed and has its claws extended, but once it loses the initiative, it will be too slow to counter a falcon that is swooping down from a height.

The old rabbit tried to dodge by turning back and forth once, but was caught by the swooping eagle, which grabbed it by the hind legs and flipped it to the ground.

Yes, you read that right! After catching its prey, the eagle didn't rush to subdue it, but instead tried to disrupt the old rabbit's balance as it ran.

As the rabbit was running, it was thrown off balance and its front legs slipped, causing it to stumble and fall.

Once he got up and regained his balance, the eagle's claws came again.

This time there was no way to avoid it; there was no time to maneuver or dodge the attack.

A soft "poof" sound.

The eagle's claws, gleaming with an inky black light, slammed heavily into the side of the hare near its groin.

The old rabbit, in pain, arched its body and turned sideways, attempting to attack the falcon with its hind legs.

The great eagle grabbed its prey's talons and used them for leverage, spreading its wings and circling around the prey beneath its talons.

To outsiders, it looked like a raptor-style over-the-shoulder throw.

As the circle went around, the spot where the rabbit's belly was gripped tightened instantly. The rabbit tried to break free, and its hind legs could no longer kick wildly at the falcon.

At that very moment, the Great Blue Eagle's other claw shot out with lightning speed, clamping down on the old rabbit's mouth and sealing it shut.

With one claw gripping the rabbit's side and the other clamping its beak to block the greatest threat, the eagle forcefully subdued the nearly five-pound rabbit on the spot.

"Holy crap, what kind of move is that?!"

"Wow! It looks like the eagle danced on the rabbit!"

"Xiaofeng, what kind of trick is this?"

Jinlong and Ye Xiaojun were both bewildered by the performance of the giant eagle on the sidelines.

Yue Feng saw it all clearly, from the moment the eagle first landed and used the momentum to change direction, to the moment it smashed the stake, overturned its running posture, and then lowered its claws.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a fine eagle! This is the kind of skill an old eagle should have! It caught it beautifully!" Yue Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

"Tell me in detail, don't just say it's beautiful, what's really going on?" Jinlong urged impatiently.

Their dynamic vision is slightly impaired, so they couldn't see what was going on!
Yue Feng grinned and explained, "Ordinary Autumn Yellow Hawks only know three moves at most: either grabbing the butt and pulling it up, or using their claws to grab the head. Hawks that can do a double-flag attack are rare!"

That old eagle was far superior to the previous one; it had mastered the essence of fighting the old rabbit!

"Hmm, and then? The movements were too fast; my eyes couldn't keep up."

"Then I saw the eagle slam down, and the rabbit seemed to fall to the ground. Then the eagle grabbed the rabbit again, jumped up, changed its angle, and subdued the rabbit once more!" Jinlong continued.

"Yes, the big blue eagle is very skilled at smashing the stakes!"

It's even more powerful than a regular stake-smashing weapon; it uses the speed of its dive to extend its claws and disrupt the prey's running posture!
The rabbit lost its balance, and only then did it follow up with its paw, managing to grab the rabbit's side—not ideal, but it was a workaround!

"Adaptability? You mean that jump? What's the point of that?"

Ye Xiaojun was a little confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask.

Yue Feng didn't answer directly, but instead reached out and grabbed the side of the Jinlong cotton-padded coat through the fabric.

With a twist of his arm, the clothes instantly tightened and twisted.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Yue Feng used his other hand to feign an attack and grab Jinlong's neck.

The twisting motion itself applied force, and Jinlong only felt his body sway. By the time he reacted, Yue Feng's fingers were already touching his Adam's apple.

"Holy crap!" Jinlong exclaimed, a beat behind.

Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe, that's how that big blue eagle worked just now. Got some insights?"

It's not that you can't grab the flank, but the relative body position of the eagle and its prey is not advantageous. However, this great blue eagle avoided the risk by using this one move and grabbed the prey's beak!
The eagle has enough stamina; once its talons are firmly in its grasp, the rabbit can no longer struggle, and the battle is over!

Jinlong nodded repeatedly: "I understand! Amazing! Other eagles only have three basic moves, but this eagle in Brother Feng's hand can actually use a series of attacks!!"

Yue Feng nodded: "I feel that, based on the eagle's performance just now, even if it encounters the old rabbit we used to mark it, it still has a certain success rate!"
It uses its brain when working and doesn't make the same mistake twice, which is already quite commendable!

"Yeah, I think so too! As long as the old rabbit can't kick it the first time, the subsequent eagle-kicking tricks will be useless!"
If he manages to catch it, then the only way to win in the end is through something else!

Yue Feng: "Don't panic, let's take another look!"

……

The camera then pans to a first-person perspective from the sidelines, showing the great blue eagle that has subdued its prey, holding the old rabbit firmly in place, unable to move. Feng Huanping takes a step forward, panting as he approaches his falcon.

When it got close, the old eagle chirped a few times and its thick, powerful talons contracted desperately, as if it wanted to crush its prey to death with its sharp claws.

"Alright, alright! The Great Blue Eagle is really amazing!"

Feng Huanping squatted down beside him and whispered a few words of comfort. He then reached out and grabbed the rabbit's hind leg, gently pressing down on its hindquarters with a crisp cracking sound.

Feng Huanping is indeed a master; he even removed the rabbit's hindquarters with such ease.

Seeing that the hare's hind legs were no longer a threat, the great blue eagle released its talons, which had been twisting half a turn around its abdomen, and instead placed them on the hare's head. The hare was still screaming in pain, its mouth sealed shut, and the sounds coming from its throat sounded muffled.

Once the eagle had finished its work, it lowered its head and pecked at the rabbit's eye.

The next second, one of the rabbit's eyes was pecked out by the eagle, leaving a bloody scene.

Feng Huanping did not stop his falcon from pecking at the rabbit's eyes, letting the eagle tear off the bloody rabbit's eyes along with the remaining bits and pieces and swallow them.

Seeing this, Yue Feng nodded slightly.

Good eagles are often fierce, and this big blue eagle is indeed no pushover!

This big blue eagle can even peck at eyes, overall rating +1.
The old eagle's performance in the recent battle was no less impressive than the iron-backed red eagle that had been caged for two hunting seasons back in Yue Feng's hometown.

On the field, after his beloved eagle swallowed a rabbit's eye, Feng Huanping calmly covered the eagle's claws with his sleeve and then lifted the eagle up with his arm.

The large blue eagle, now back on its master's arm, wiped its beak on its feet and sleeve a few times. After standing for less than ten seconds, it shook its feathers and was completely rested.

The eagle had just engaged in such an intense chase and close-quarters combat, ultimately subduing the hare almost entirely through brute force, which had taken a tremendous toll on its stamina.

But after eating a rabbit's eye and resting for about ten seconds, its fur loosened.

From this perspective alone, in terms of stamina reserves and recovery, it is definitely a top-tier falcon.

Seeing that his great blue eagle had lost its feathers, Feng Huanping continued to ride the eagle forward, leaving the executed rabbit untouched.

The great eagle clearly saw the carcass of its prey still on the ground, but showed no intention of shoveling it down to continue feeding.

Five seasons of working side-by-side have given this top falcon a strong understanding with its master.

Feng Huanping, riding the eagle, returned to the search sequence. Before he had gone thirty meters, he fired again from about ten meters away, and caught a young rabbit weighing about four pounds.

Compared to the previous troublesome old rabbit weighing around five pounds, this rabbit was much easier to deal with.

I got up and ran away from about ten meters away. By the time the eagle got off my arm, the actual distance was about eighteen meters.

The eagle gave chase at full speed, and in less than five seconds, it flew to the rabbit, leaving a trail of afterimages. It grabbed the rabbit's rear with its right claw and then attacked its head with its left claw as the rabbit turned its head.

Once the left paw grabbed the rabbit's head, the right paw released its grip and swiftly clamped onto the rabbit's head as well.

The tiger swiftly and decisively covered its head with its two claws.

In one round, less than ten seconds, from the moment the rabbit got up to the moment the eagle caught up and subdued it, the rabbit let out a desperate scream.

The speed at which they ended the battle was incredible!

"It's so fast!"

"Brother Feng's eagle is amazing! This is the second one!"

Yue Feng was also astonished by the performance of the Great Green Eagle. Catching a rabbit about 20 meters away was as easy as an ordinary person bending down to pick up a radish from the ground. Who could stand that?!
Both involve the same tiger-head grabbing technique, but the Great Blue Eagle takes only half or even a third of the time of an ordinary falcon.

Without comparison, there is no harm; the difference is too obvious.

Jinlong was worried about losing the final, and Yuefeng, after watching the second rabbit's performance, is now also a bit uncertain.

At this moment, even if Yue Feng brought his three-year-old Ironback Red Eagle from home to the event and personally participated in the competition, his performance would probably be at most this level.

The next three rabbits didn't draw any particularly difficult individuals. Feng Huanping, riding his Great Blue Eagle, easily finished the race of five rabbits with almost overwhelming efficiency.

After watching Feng Huanping's performance in the entire Daqingying competition, Li Wenhu, who not long ago felt that he had a good chance of winning the championship, is now a little unsure.

Brother Feng truly lives up to his reputation as a leading expert among the new generation of eagle enthusiasts in Beijing's eagle-collecting circle; the big blue eagle in his hand is simply too formidable.

"Hunter number eight, Feng Huanping, caught five rabbits in a total of 78 seconds! Congratulations!"

Ye Jianjun, who personally timed the game and acted as the referee on site, loudly announced the score to the audience, then filled out the form and handed it to Feng Huanping for signature.

Feng Huanping, supporting the eagle with one hand, steadily approached Ye Jianjun.

"Brother Feng, that's impressive! With your results, the next few people definitely won't be able to surpass you! Sign here, we'll post it in front of the tent for public display later!" Ye Jianjun said.

Feng Huanping transferred the eagle from his arm to his left hand, then took the pen with his right hand and scribbled his name on the report card.

His handwriting was beautiful and extremely neat, clearly showing that he had practiced it seriously.

Feng Huanping handed back the pen and asked with a smile, "In the second round, are there any rabbits that are bigger and heavier?"

Catching these three- or four-pound young rabbits is no fun! The first one, the one with the agility and skillful maneuvering, was much more interesting!

Ye Jianjun nodded: "Yes! In the second round, there won't be any rabbits under five pounds! They'll all be experienced old rabbits!"
Besides these, there's also a final, splendid old red-haired rabbit—the same old fellow who's already injured many eagles. You'd better be prepared!

"Are you talking about that notoriously difficult old rabbit over here at the kiln pit?"

"Yeah, if nothing unexpected happens, that rabbit is still in this enclosure we've set up, near the gentle slope on the east side, lying somewhere out of the way!"

Feng Huanping nodded: "I came looking for it once when winter was just beginning, but I couldn't find it. I thought it was no longer here!"

My great blue eagle has mastered the art of catching prey quite well. If I can scare that old rabbit out today, it'll be a perfect opportunity for a challenge!

"Hey, good!"

After exchanging a few brief words, Feng Huanping reached out and touched his eagle, said goodbye, and turned to walk back.

When they reached the spectator stands, a series of applause erupted from above.

"Brother Feng is awesome!"

"Brother Feng is awesome! That eagle is so fast!"

"I'm guessing now that Brother Feng has a high chance of winning the championship today, he'll have to have a few more drinks with the brothers tonight!!"

The familiar crowd spoke words of praise without restraint, sparing no words of praise.

Zhou Hongming, who was still holding his own eagle and hadn't even taken the stage yet, verbally agreed, but inwardly he was quite dissatisfied.

His toad-headed iron-backed red motorcycle is also very fast at catching ordinary rabbits. Based on Zhou Hongming's own personal feeling, it should be no worse than Feng Huanping's old rotor in actual combat!

Feng Huanping waved to the crowd and walked up the sloping passage with a smile. Soon, several familiar friends surrounded him and praised Ying again.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Feng Huanping swaggered up to Yue Feng, riding his eagle.

"Little Yue, look at my eagle, how was its performance just now?" (End of Chapter)
