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

Hearing Yue Feng's high praise, Jin Long nodded slightly.

"Looking at it this way, it's a good thing we arranged for Uncle Li's eagle and dog to come in! Otherwise, Brother Feng's eagle would have won the opening match!"

Yue Feng nodded after listening: "You could say that, but there's always the possibility of unforeseen circumstances!"

I have a feeling that if Brother Feng, that old fox, catches all three old rabbits, he might not have the energy to go after that one that's become a spirit!

"Physical stamina issues?"

"Yes! The old rabbits that Brother Jun asked someone to catch are all veterans who have been through countless battles."

Didn't you notice that the sparrow carrying the big blue eagle just now started leisurely circling around chasing the rabbit?

This hunting strategy would definitely have a much higher success rate, but it would also consume more physical strength and time!
It takes an eagle ten minutes to deal with one rabbit, but three rabbits would take half an hour! The eagle simply doesn't have much time to rest and recover its strength!
I personally don't think we'll have the stamina to successfully catch that cunning old rabbit when we actually encounter it!
Even so, it's still quite remarkable.

This is the quality and state of a top-tier rabbit-catching eagle; everyone else's eagles are far behind!

"If we compare this eagle with the two caged iron-backed red eagles at your house, which one is more powerful?" Jinlong continued to ask.

Yue Feng grinned: "In general, it's probably a 50/50 or 40/60 chance. The only advantage I have is that my eagle is younger, so its stamina reserves and recovery might be slightly better than this big eagle's!"

"What if we bring the Great Black Hawk into the competition? It's not worthy of being called a dog. If it's a one-man eagle fighting a rabbit, who's stronger?"

When Jinlong asked about his giant black eagle, Yue Feng grinned and said confidently, "Haha, there's no comparison! The giant black eagle's dive speed is much faster than Brother Feng's giant eagle smashing the pile!"

With Old Rabbit's level of agility and reaction speed, he could kick the rabbit to death in three kicks at most!
If we were to pair up dogs, with my Azure Dragon paired with a single eagle, in this open field without any cover, the rabbit wouldn't even survive a single round! Even the most powerful rabbit would be defeated!

When Yue Feng said this, he was quite confident.

This confidence, accumulated through several hunting seasons of real combat, was completely wasted on a big dagger to catch a rabbit.

Even without the eagle, if it were just the Azure Dragon fighting alone in this confined environment, the cunning old rabbit wouldn't last long before being defeated.

After listening to Yue Feng's words, Jin Long nodded thoughtfully.

"What do you think we should do for the remaining matches after our first game?"

Judging from the competition rules, our Rabbit Tiger and Greyhound hunting rabbits and falcons will definitely be much more advantageous than the Eagle Catching Rabbit!
Hunters who haven't compared the differences before and participate for the first time won't have a clear understanding of the eagle's stamina limit and stamina allocation. But after participating once, they will definitely have a better grasp of it!

I guess that, following the existing rules, it's highly unlikely that anyone will use the eagle in the competition anymore! They'll probably all be using the falcon!
Even if the eagle is a bit weak, a good performance from the greyhound can still be a game-changer!

Jinlong's analysis was very insightful. In fact, the rule of having five rabbits and three older rabbits was indeed a hidden threshold designed by Yuefeng based on his understanding of birds of prey.

However, it's perfectly fine to use this kind of threshold designed by insiders as the rules for the opening ceremony. Since it's the first time participating, everyone lacks experience and has nowhere to complain if they suffer losses. After all, the rules are all laid out on the table, making it a blatant scheme.

However, continuing to apply the same rules indefinitely may not be effective.

As the old saying goes, if you can't beat someone, join them!
In the falconry game of "rabbit falconry," both the falcon and the dog are quite important. Choosing a good falcon requires a high level of skill, and there are few people who know the ropes.

However, the number of people who enjoy playing with fine dogs, especially greyhounds, is much larger.

At that point, it's hard to say what the outcome of such rules will be.

Yue Feng nodded to Jinlong, acknowledging his concerns, and continued, "The Eagle Catches a Rabbit is actually a good introductory course for eagle hunting. We can add other projects later!"

For example, we could organize category competitions, where eagles compete against each other, and falconers compete against each other!

You can also hold a hunting competition, using falcons and other birds of prey to hunt pheasants!

You can also use golden eagles to hunt foxes!
You could even add a separate game mode where hunting dogs catch rabbits!

With such a large space, a few minor renovations could be done to create a lot of projects!
Let's try our best to get a good result in the opening match to demonstrate the strength of the organizers. Later on, we don't necessarily have to win.

This is an organization where various dimensions such as communication, play, resource exchange, networking, and even eating, drinking, and having fun are intertwined.

Once we've established this business, all we need to do is maintain and coordinate it as usual!
We won't interfere with who plays what or who wins. If the tournament has prizes, we can even take a cut as operating costs!

Hearing Yue Feng rattle off so many ideas at once, Jin Long immediately gained a lot of new information that he hadn't considered before.

"Damn, now that you mention it, it looks even more promising!" Jinlong said, his eyes shining.

"Hehe, I'll just talk the talk and talk the walk. How far we can actually go depends on your and Jun's abilities!"

Let's forget about all that nonsense! Let's get back to the game; Brother Feng's second rabbit has started!

"Okay!" Jinlong responded, raising his head again after it had been slightly lowered.

Although this guy's eyes were clearly looking at the competition area below, his mind was constantly racing, thinking about the possible maneuvering opportunities and potential gains from certain angles. Even his breathing became noticeably faster without him realizing it.

……

The competition continued off the field. After Feng Huanping's five-year-old dragon spinner successfully captured the first rabbit, he once again set off with his eagle to search for the second rabbit.

With the eagle on his right arm and a shooing stick in his left, Feng Huanping walked around the transition area, tapping and probing the suspicious mechanisms several times before finally releasing the second rabbit.

The second old rabbit was a real eye-catcher from the moment it appeared.

It was fast, incredibly fast.

The old rabbit, which wasn't particularly large, was at least 20% faster than the other rabbits, regardless of their size.

The stride length is large and the stride frequency is fast, the difference is very obvious!
This old rabbit, like a little sports car, leaped up with abandon, leaving a trail of dust behind it. Observed from above, its distinctive features were quite obvious.

The eagle immediately made its move, chasing after the enemy with a trail of afterimages.

The rabbit is fast, and the eagle is fast too; they are evenly matched.

In two consecutive rounds, Old Rabbit swiftly dodged Falcon's attacks, using his usual tactic of circling, stopping abruptly, turning, and changing direction.

After being dodged twice, the sparrow spread its wings and, taking advantage of the breeze, immediately climbed up and flew to a low altitude of about seven or eight meters, where it began to circle.

The successful hunting experience of the previous rabbit unlocked a new hunting strategy for it. Since short encounters were not feasible, it could only resort to endurance warfare.

It didn't chase in a hurry at low altitude, following the old rabbit at a leisurely pace and keeping an eye on it.

The rabbit initially moved very fast, trying to evade the threat of its predator and shake off its pursuers as quickly as possible. However, the space was limited, and no matter how it circled around, the eagle was right overhead, and it couldn't get rid of it.

After five minutes of continuous fleeing, the old rabbit's speed noticeably slowed down.

It had a little drool on its beak, and the eagle was still hovering overhead. Just then, the great blue eagle swooped down and its talons went straight for the prey.

The old rabbit hurriedly dodged, its paws scraping against its rump fur.

The eagle's claws missed their grip, and instead pulled off a handful of rabbit fur, sending the fur flying everywhere.

The old rabbit, feeling the pain from having its bottom grabbed, scurried away for dozens of meters before returning to the spot where it had come out of the mechanism.

Then, something interesting happened with the rabbit.

In front of the falcon hunters and the many audience members on the stage, it suddenly plunged back into the trap cage that had been buried underground.

The cage was buried underground, with the exit almost level with the ground surface. From the perspective of the rabbit and the eagle, it was a rather cramped burrow.

"Haha, the rabbit's gone into its cage!"

"Brother Feng, this saves us trouble! This is called walking right into a trap!"

"Haha, this isn't just walking into a trap, it's more like luring someone into a snare! We've got it in the bag now!"

The crowd of onlookers immediately became noisy, shouting and joking with each other.

Feng Huanping, who was in the arena below, was amused by what he saw.

The eagle and the rabbit were circling around the wheat field. At first, the eagle ran a few steps to chase after them, but when it couldn't catch up, it simply stayed in place and observed the area near the center.

The rabbit has now crawled back into the cage, less than forty meters from Feng Huanping's position.

Old Feng was a sensible man; he immediately grabbed his wooden cane and headed towards the mechanism.

The eagle in the sky saw the rabbit burrow into its hole, gave a whistle, and returned to hover in mid-air. When it saw its owner coming, it waited patiently.

When Feng Huanping reached the opening of the cage, he unceremoniously closed the already opened cage door and put the mechanism pin back in.

After closing the door, Feng Huanping raised his hand towards Ye Jianjun, who was not far away.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jianjun quickly jogged over to him.

"Jianjun, my eagle chased the rabbit back into the cage, and now I've rebuilt the cage door! Does that count as a successful hunt?" Feng Huanping asked with a smile.

Ye Jianjun squatted down and glanced at it; the rabbit was indeed locked in the cage.

"That's impressive! It takes skill to chase a rabbit back to its cage and hide! Luckily, Brother Feng, you didn't reach in to grab it; even a rabbit will bite when cornered!" Ye Jianjun said readily.

"Hehe, then we've got the second one!"

"Nothing wrong!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Feng Huanping took out a piece of fresh meat wrapped in a cabbage leaf from his pocket and whistled at the eagle that had landed beside him.

Upon hearing its master's whistle to feed it, the eagle that had landed immediately pushed off the ground and flew quickly to Feng Huanping's hand.

"Well done, Big Blue Eagle! Here, have some meat!" Feng Huanping patted the eagle's head and then fed the eagle the slices of meat in his hand.

The eagle took the fresh meat from its master, tilted its head back and swallowed it in one gulp. Then it smacked its lips as if it wanted more, as if to say that it was not full yet!
"I'll feed you well after the competition, okay? You still have work to do!" Feng Huanping gently stroked the eagle's beak hook and comforted it softly.

The eagle, which had been fed rock sugar and had its breath stimulated by the rock sugar shaft, was now feeling quite uncomfortable in its stomach.

Rock sugar is mainly composed of sucrose, which, from a chemical perspective, is a typical disaccharide, consisting of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule.

Once this substance enters the falcon's crop, it gradually dissolves. During this process, it produces irritation and alters the concentration of certain digestive juices in the stomach and intestines to some extent.

These subtle changes within the digestive system can stimulate normal digestive processes, thus intensifying the eagle's hunger.

The great eagle was starving. It had finally helped its master catch the prey, but was only given a symbolic piece of meat as a reward.

Once the meat slices were down my throat, it was like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit – they slid right down and I felt nothing, but the hunger wasn't relieved at all.

The eagle probably didn't understand its master's words, but when the master stroked the eagle's breast and head, the eagle squinted its eyes contentedly, and the short feathers on its head quickly fluffed up again.

Wow!
The eagle's feathers were all fluffy. It shook them off twice, flicked its tail, and pooped out a small clump of poop.

The eagle's feathers had fallen, indicating that its strength had almost fully recovered. Feng Huanping immediately got up, took his short staff, and walked towards the gentle, overgrown area on the outer edge of the transition zone where the third mechanism was located.

The second rabbit, Eagle finished the battle in about six minutes, much less than the first one's ten minutes. Feng Huanping still has plenty of time in the competition.

The first two people who made it to the finals didn't manage to catch the third rabbit, so Feng Huanping didn't know roughly where the third mechanism on the gentle slope was located.

And so, one man and one eagle entered the area and began the methodical search and expulsion process.

On this gentle slope, there are various low-lying weeds, slightly taller wormwood, and low shrubs such as brambles and jujubes.

The terrain is significantly more complex than that of the wheat fields. Strictly speaking, this is a more realistic hunting scene that closely resembles the usual hunting days.

Feng Huanping is a practical man, not just one of those pretentious second-generation rich kids who are all talk and no action.

He walked very methodically, tapping and shooing away areas where rabbits might be hiding, while also observing the ground for any suspicious signs of traps or mechanisms.

They walked and stopped, going from the north end to the south end of the transition zone, but did not trigger any mechanisms.

After reaching the earthen wall on the south side, we ventured another four or five meters to the east before turning back and continuing our methodical search.

When they were halfway there, a disguised trap appeared in front of them.

The treadmill was covered with loose soil and simply camouflaged with some withered yellow grass leaves. There was also a footprint left by half a worker nearby.

These small details did not escape Feng Huanping's eyes. He rode the eagle up to it and stepped on it without hesitation with the wooden cane in his left hand.

With a snap, a triggering sound came from the tall grass about ten meters away, and the third rabbit darted out and ran wildly down the gentle slope toward the east.

"Cat!" Feng Huanping called out habitually, and at the same time, the falcon was released and chased after it.

The eagle lowered its flight posture, almost skimming the grass as it caught up, while the old rabbit suddenly swerved and feinted a shot next to a bramble bush.

The eagle folded its wings and reached out its claws, but missed its target when it tried to pounce on the bramble bushes.

Just when Feng Huanping thought it was just a normal mistake, another rabbit darted out from under the bramble bushes! (End of Chapter)
