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

The crowd watching from both the field and the sidelines erupted in excitement when they saw yet another rabbit dart out.

"Holy crap, another one has appeared! Does anyone have sharp eyes? Is this the same old rabbit that was marked and has become a spirit?"

"No, it doesn't look like it. It's not very big. It looks like a young rabbit from the original field!"

"An eagle catches two rabbits, what are we going to do now!"

"If I were Brother Feng, I'd cooperate with Eagle to take down that young rabbit first! The old rabbit that Brother Jun arranged is too slippery! It'll be hard to end the battle anytime soon!"

……

Information from various sources was circulating in the spectator area. Everyone was quite interested in this unexpected situation and wanted to see what Feng Huanping, the favorite to win the championship, would do.

How could Feng Huanping not have thought of a strategy that even the audience could come up with?

After discovering that another rabbit had been shooed out, he immediately observed the young rabbit's condition.

Judging by its size, it weighs at most three and a half to four pounds, not the sentient old rabbit mentioned by the program team.

So, the next second, Feng Huanping, holding the wooden staff in his hand, chased after the young rabbit that was fleeing to the north.

"Whoa!!" It ran while making strange noises to scare them away.

The rabbit ran for its life. The sparrow-backed eagle, which had been fighting the old rabbit, paused slightly after hearing its master's shooing voice. It consciously raised itself to a height of about four or five meters and slowed down its attack.

Upon seeing its master chasing the young rabbit with a stick, the old roc immediately changed its target, flapping its wings slightly and quickly chasing after the young rabbit.

The young rabbit was quite fast, but the terrain limited its movement. When it reached the northernmost earthen wall, there was no road left, so it had to turn and run south again.

On one side was a spacious winter wheat field, and on the other side was a gentle eastern slope with a rugged incline that affected speed. Based on his experience, the young rabbit subconsciously chose to dart into the winter wheat field.

This choice directly killed its last chance to escape.

The large blue eagle that was chasing after them quickly caught up with the young rabbit after just a few accelerations.

The next second, the claw tentatively launched an attack.

The young rabbit hurriedly dodged, its reaction noticeably slower than that of the older rabbits.

The eagle's talons failed to catch the prey, but it did test the prey's strength.

After missing its target, the eagle used the ground to adjust its direction and flapped its wings to launch a second attack.

This time, the young rabbit couldn't dodge in time and was immediately stabbed in the buttocks.

The great eagle then turned and offered its other claw, the sharp talon clamping down on its waist.

Faced with prey that was a size smaller, the big blue eagle pinched the rabbit's rear with one claw and gripped its waist with the other, forcefully pinning the young rabbit to the spot.

The poor young rabbit hadn't even realized what was happening before its hindquarters were immobilized. The falcon's steel talons had dug directly into its spine, and no matter how much it struggled, it was powerless to break free.

Whoa whoa whoa!
The rabbit let out a desperate scream, and the great blue eagle spread its wings and stood on its prey, its eyes full of ferocity.

"Hehe, okay!!"

When Feng Huanping saw that the eagle had captured the young rabbit so quickly, using the simplest and most brutal method, he was overjoyed. Dragging his round body, he rushed over, panting heavily.

Once they reached the eagle's side, Feng Huanping pulled out a knife and stabbed the young rabbit in the ribs. The blade went all the way into the hilt, and the rabbit was dead in a few seconds.

When the great blue eagle saw the bright red blood flowing from the wound, it didn't even bother to groom itself and started pecking at the flesh around the wound.

Seeing his eagle's eagerness to eat, Feng Huanping hesitated for a second before putting down the fresh meat wrapped in cabbage leaves from his arms.

After all that running around, the eagle was truly hungry! The rabbit has already been killed, so let it have a few bites!

It was this one wrong decision that almost cost the great blue eagle its life.

The eagle, its temper flaring, used its hooked beak to dig deep into the rabbit's wound, pecking away at the flesh. After a few bites, it unknowingly reached the rabbit's lungs on the inside.

One bite, and the internal organs were torn out in pieces.

Before Feng Huanping could react and stop him, the big blue eagle, as if swallowing a thick slice of meat, tilted its head back and swallowed the pulled-out internal organs whole.

By the time Feng Huanping realized what was happening, only a small part of his digestive tract was still attached.

There is a small bulge that is visible to the naked eye in the location of the eagle's crop.

"Alright, alright, that's enough! I'll make sure you get a full meal after the competition!"

Feng Huanping hurriedly reached out to pull the only digestive tract, but it had been cut in half by a knife, and with a forceful pull, it broke off.

Now it's impossible to pull the meat out. The great blue eagle leaned back and swallowed the last piece of internal organs from its mouth.

Feng Huanping sighed, covered the eagle's claws and the prey below with his sleeve, and slowly put the eagle back on his arm.

The great blue eagle, still not full, turned its head to look around for unfinished prey, reluctantly squatting on its master's arm. It didn't even let go of the bloodstains on its claws and feathers, carefully grooming them and swallowing the blood scabs mixed with dust.

Feng Huanping, who had repositioned the eagle, frowned and glanced at the bulge in the eagle's crop.

Judging by appearance, it's about 20-30% full. This state won't have much impact on low-intensity work. Based on past combat experience, the eagle's current satiety level is enough to continue fighting.

After observing the eagle's condition, Feng Huanping began to glance around at the gentle slope to the east.

Just now, the eagle heard its command to abandon the old rabbit and go after the young rabbit. The old rabbit, now free of pressure, had disappeared somewhere.

"Brother Feng, it's in the southeast corner! That old rabbit darted off to the southeast corner. Search around the barbed wire fence!"

"Southeast corner! Southeast corner!"

The audience members watching the spectacle immediately raised their voices to remind him.

Feng Huanping touched the tail of the eagle's sword. Seeing that the eagle was in good condition, he picked up his wooden staff and followed it towards the southeast corner.

Then look at that old rabbit that temporarily escaped; it was quite unlucky. It ran around in all directions, circling half of the east side, and tried several times to get out of the wire fence in the southeast corner, but the fence was too high and it couldn't get out at all.

After several unsuccessful attempts and with no pursuers coming, the rabbit's tense and stressful state gradually relaxed. Without the hunter and falcon chasing it, the rabbit surprisingly became quite carefree, plunging headfirst into a thick pile of wormwood and lying motionless!
It thought it could escape unscathed by hiding well, but the audience was watching closely, and its hiding place was immediately locked in.

Feng Huanping rode the eagle back at a leisurely pace, taking the opportunity to let the eagle rest and recover its strength while traveling, so he was not in a hurry.

If he can capture the third old rabbit, he'll have four rabbits in his hand, giving him a huge advantage. There's still plenty of time; there's no rush.

When they reached the midfield, Feng Huanping called out to Ye Jianjun, "Jianjun, we didn't catch the third one, so let's catch the fourth one first. Is that against the rules?"

Ye Jianjun grinned: "It's not against the rules, but it's risky! If we don't catch the third rabbit, we'll lose a point! In principle, we hunt in order! But no one will be too strict about this detail!"

The rules do include a point deduction rule, but it only applies after three animals have been chased out and the animal cannot be caught again.

Ye Jianjun has simply made some appropriate adjustments to the rules, and he hasn't made any mistakes.

"As long as the rules allow it, that's fine. I just heard my buddies remind me that the old rabbit is hiding in the southeast corner. I'll go check it out!"

"come on!!"

After exchanging glances, Feng Huanping, with his hawk, continued up the gentle eastern slope. He was very careful, keeping his wooden cane in his left hand the entire way, and never once knocking down the grass along the way, trying his best to avoid driving out any other potential prey.

Not being able to capture the number three rabbit is just a bit of a challenge; if we successfully capture it, everything will be fine. But if we manage to scare out that cunning red-haired old rabbit at this crucial moment, things will get complicated!

Under Feng Huanping's careful guidance, he walked all the way to the southeast corner without chasing out any other rabbits. Feng Huanping wiped the sweat from his face with his left sleeve and breathed a sigh of relief.

After scanning the surrounding terrain and obstacles, Feng Huanping took his wooden cane and began to tap on them one by one.

The old rabbit, who had just settled into the haystack, hadn't even warmed the grass under its belly when the walking stick struck it from the side.

Unable to hold it in any longer, it had no choice but to leap out again and continue its frantic escape.

"Cat!" Feng Huanping shouted, immediately raising his arm and releasing the large eagle in his hand.

The eagle didn't hesitate either; it used its master's arm for leverage and chased after the old rabbit again.

After two more rounds of probing and testing, confirming that it couldn't take down the old rabbit with 'movement and positioning', the Great Azure Eagle spread its tail feathers and soared to new heights, ready to begin another protracted war of attrition.

Rabbit number three zigzaggled along the gentle slope, trying to escape, but the eagle remained not far overhead, and soon began to exhaust itself.

This time, it took a full ten minutes for the eagle to exhaust the old rabbit. Seizing the opportunity, the eagle executed another beautiful double-flag grab, successfully pinning the old rabbit to the transition area between the wheat field and the gentle slope on the east side.

"Hehe! I finally got it! Four points in hand!!"

Seeing the eagle take down the rabbit, Feng Huanping was secretly pleased and ran over.

On the way there, Feng Huanping was thinking to himself, "I can't feed the eagles any more this time. If they eat any more fresh meat, we won't be able to release them later."

The idea was correct, but he forgot one thing.

This old rooster has a habit of pecking at rabbits' eyes.

The old rotor, which had swallowed the rock sugar shaft and was extremely vigorous, tried to peck at the rabbit's fur a few times but failed to break through the rabbit's skin immediately. It then decisively changed position and pecked out the rabbit's left eye in one bite.

He tilted his head back and swallowed it, then his right eye, repeating the same trick.

When Feng Huanping arrived as quickly as possible, the rabbit was still alive, but both its eyes were bloody holes. The eagle's crop had swelled up even more, and it was still pecking at the rabbit's eye sockets, seemingly unsatisfied.

"Alright, alright, that's enough! With that big crop on your head, you'd be asking for trouble if you ran into that cunning rabbit!"

This time, Feng Huanping didn't hesitate. He even skipped the prey and directly and roughly covered the prey with the eagle's claws, snatching it away.

Poor old rabbit number three, he was blind but not dead, struggling desperately in Feng Huanping's hands.

Fearing that this might provoke the eagle to attack again and cause further trouble, Old Feng simply held the rabbit's hind leg, found the right spot, and gently pressed down. With a snap, he dislocated the rabbit's hip joint, and the rabbit was completely out of commission.

While the fight continued on the field, Yue Feng and the other two brothers, Jin Long and Yue Feng, watched quietly.

After seeing the crop of the eagle in Feng Huanping's hand, Yue Feng sighed and shook his head slightly.

"This is a bit dangerous!" Yue Feng said abruptly.

"What's in danger? Is today's champion in danger? It's only four points. As long as Uncle Li's Eagle and Dog can take down that old rabbit, there's still a chance!" Jinlong said.

"What I meant by 'dangerous' isn't the danger to our ranking! It's that if this big blue eagle continues fighting, it's in danger! There are still 22 minutes left!" Yue Feng said calmly, glancing at the time on his wristwatch.

"You mean it's physically demanding?" Ye Xiaojun asked curiously.

Yue Feng shook his head and explained, "No, it's the eagle's crop! The last young rabbit was eaten by the eagle, which ate a whole string of its heart, lungs, and internal organs! Just now, this eagle gouged out the eyes of the third old rabbit and swallowed them!"

Judging by sight, it's probably about 40% full! Look at its crop; it's visibly bulging!

"Four-tenths full is fine! For an eagle that's been caged for five years, this amount of food shouldn't stop it from being released, right? It's not like it'll run away if you try to control it, is it?" Jinlong asked, puzzled.

“That won’t really cause any problems, but with such a big crop, it could be dangerous if you run into that old rabbit that kicks eagles! If your crop is completely empty, you might be saved if you get kicked! But if you have a big crop and get kicked hard, you can only pray to the Eagle God for protection!” Yue Feng continued to explain.

Upon hearing this, Jinlong was taken aback and asked hesitantly, "Should we remind Brother Feng?"

Since it concerned the life and death of the falcon, and such a remarkable eagle at that, as well as Brother Feng, with whom he had a good relationship, Jinlong was clearly hesitant.

Ye Xiaojun glanced at Jinlong and said quietly, "You'd better think this through. We're all the hosts and the bookmakers. If you ask for this, you'll be indebted to them! Even if Brother Feng doesn't agree with this idea, he won't refuse!"

That way, you'll gain favors and protect your falcon!

Ye Xiaojun's concerns were valid. Feng Huanping was definitely aligned with the organizers. If Jinlong asked, he would agree without regard for the risks and would abandon the subsequent matches.

If Li Fulin's rabbit-falcon encirclement scores higher, it would be equivalent to Feng Huanping forfeiting the championship, which would not only raise suspicions of throwing the game but also be criticized by others as a case of behind-the-scenes manipulation, thus damaging the authority of the competition.

After all, some people might say you can't take a game, and that's a statement that can be taken lightly or seriously, and it's not pleasant to hear.

Jinlong clicked his tongue: "Damn it, I'm not reminding you anymore! Do whatever you want!"

Yue Feng instantly understood the situation and said with a smile, "Brother Feng should be one of our first major clients. Otherwise, I should prepare in advance and give the old man a heads-up, just in case?" (End of Chapter)
