Chapter 34: It May Be a Wild Dog (asking for monthly ticket)
When the goshawk discovered that Xu Ye and his companions had entered its territory, it suddenly took off into the air and hovered above its eagle's nest.

"Is this flat-haired creature really going to pounce on us?" Zhang Sanbao, who was holding the dog, couldn't help but sneer.

"It's hard to say when they are protecting their cubs. Even if they encounter a black bear, they will try to drive it away," Xu Ye explained.

Most animals in the animal kingdom are protective of their children. Once they feel their children are threatened, they will become very aggressive.

This is true for birds, herbivores, and wild beasts.

Zhang Sanbao nodded. He had encountered this kind of situation many times, and his father had said the same thing.

This is relatively basic common sense, and people who often go into the mountains know it.

Xu Ye handed the leopard's rope to Jiang Ruyue, then stared at the goshawk, with the slingshot in his hand fully drawn and the stones ready to be fired.

With a "whoosh" sound, the stone flew towards the hawk like an arrow.

The goshawk was indeed a bird of prey in the sky. It reacted extremely quickly and dodged the attack with a flap of its wings.

But Xu Ye was prepared and shot several stones in succession.

The goshawk was disrupted by the sudden attack and flew around in the air.

While it was in a panic, Xu Ye seized the opportunity and threw a stone, hitting the goshawk's wing.

The goshawk let out a mournful cry and fell towards the woods below.

"Leopard, go and get it back, don't bite it to death." Xu Ye shouted.

However, he didn't know whether the leopard could understand his words "don't bite to death".

But if I bring it back, I can definitely do it.

Jiang Ruyue loosened the rope and the leopard rushed up by itself.

The forest here is dense, so we can only let the dogs go.

By the time people passed by, the goshawk had disappeared.

"Come on, it's your turn to show your skills." As he said that, Xu Ye walked towards the eagle's nest.

Zhang Sanbao quickly caught up and soon arrived under a big tree.

The tree has a thick trunk and crisscrossing branches, which is where the goshawk's nest is located.

"Bring the rope up." Xu Ye took out a cloth rope and handed it to Zhang Sanbao.

Zhang Sanbao guessed what Xu Ye was thinking and put the rope in his pocket.

Zhang Sanbao rubbed his hands, hugged the tree trunk, and started to climb up using his hands and feet.

His movements were very skillful, and soon he climbed to the branch where the bird's nest was.

Zhang Sanbao approached the bird's nest cautiously, looked inside, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Yes! There are three little eagles, and they have all grown feathers!" he shouted excitedly.

"Let down the rope." Xu Ye reminded.

Zhang Sanbao freed his hand and took out the rope. He tied one end around his wrist and then let go of the rope.

After Xu Ye tied the backpack, he asked Zhang Sanbao to pull the empty backpack onto it.

After pulling it up, Zhang Sanbao caught the three little eagles and put them in the backpack, then slowly put the basket down.

Xu Ye took the basket and saw three little eagles inside.

The young eagle's feathers are not yet fully grown, but its claws are already sharp, and there is an innate ferocity in its eyes.

"What a cute little guy." Jiang Ruyue came over to take a look, with a hint of maternal tenderness in her eyes.

"Would it be inconvenient to take them hunting? Would it alarm the prey?" Jiang Ruyue raised her doubts.

"That won't happen. The mountains and forests are full of bird calls. The calls of these young birds will not affect animals, and may even attract wild animals to come closer to see if they can be eaten." Xu Ye explained.

Jiang Ruyue nodded, with an expression that said, "As expected."

After Zhang Sanbao came down from the tree, he patted his clothes and pants, then leaned over to take a look.

Xu Ye caught the three young eagles, then put the things back into the backpack and placed the rabbit skin stuffed with hay on top.

Finally he took off his coat and made a makeshift nest on top.

The clothes had his scent, and he hoped that the three eaglets would be familiar with his scent.

After putting the eaglet in a temporary nest, Xu Ye cut some rabbit meat to feed it.

The leopard came back at this time, but did not bring the goshawk back.

As expected, the goshawk must have escaped.

Being hit by a stone might not cause serious injuries, and it might still be able to fly away. Xu Ye gave the leopard a piece of meat as a reward.

"Let's go and continue looking for prey." Xu Ye put on the backpack and prepared to continue.

Although Zhang Sanbao still wanted to play eagle, Xu Ye had already carried the basket on his back, so he was too embarrassed to ask Xu Ye to let him play.

The three men continued walking up the mountain, ready to look for other prey.

After walking for a while, Huahu suddenly spoke.

Apparently, it discovered something.

Then, Leopard and Dahuang also started barking.

After a while, other dogs barking were heard in the woods.

"I didn't expect there were other hunters here." Xu Ye couldn't help but say, and then Zhang Sanbao next to him spoke.

"We are from Sanxi Village here. Who are you over there?" Zhang Sanbao shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

Seeing no one responded, Zhang Sanbao shouted again.

Xu Ye's expression changed involuntarily, and he said quickly: "Something is wrong, let's go and take a look."

"Everyone be careful, sister, the bullet is loaded, something might happen." Xu Ye reminded.

After Xu Ye said this, Jiang Ruyue's face changed, and then she thought of Li Dongming.

If a hunter is killed by his prey, there is no way to respond.

The tigers barked for a while and then stopped, continuing to move forward.

However, Xu Ye and the others did not let go of the rope, but followed behind holding the rope.

After seven or eight minutes, Xu Ye grabbed the rope.

"Leopard, sit down."

Zhang Sanbao also grabbed Hua Hu, and then looked at Xu Ye.

"It shouldn't be a hunter. The distance just now should be about right, and the dog's barking has stopped." Xu Ye analyzed.

"Not a hunter?" Zhang Sanbao frowned.

"Is that a wild dog?" Zhang Sanbao reacted, raised his eyebrows, and immediately became happy.

Wild dogs are good things!

If it could be tamed, it would be a great hunting dog.

The fact that it can survive in the mountains and forests shows that it has the ability to hunt reliably.

After being tamed into a hunting dog and cooperating with a hunter, it can definitely roam the mountains and forests.

"That dog must have a very sensitive nose. It won't be easy to catch up with it." Xu Ye said in a deep voice.

"The best way is to set a trap."

"Da Huang is a female, so I guess that wild dog is a male."

"Do you want to leave Dahuang here and fish for it?" Xu Ye looked at Zhang Sanbao.

The decision on this matter lies with Zhang Sanbao. After all, there are various risks if he stays as bait.

Sometimes what you catch may not be a wild dog, but a bear or a wild boar.

Zhang Sanbao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Ye.

"What should we do if we catch a stray dog?"

What he actually wanted to ask was how to divide it.

"It depends on the situation. If you can train him, then do it. Once he's trapped, it won't be easy to catch him." Xu Ye said directly.

This kind of wild dog is very ferocious and is likely to bite people.

Under normal circumstances, once a dog starts to bite someone, the dog will just bite and get rid of it, because if there is one, there will be another.

If you are not careful, the child may be bitten to death.

"And the risk is quite high. If it attacks Dahuang without a trap, Dahuang might be bitten to death." Xu Ye reminded.

Wild dogs must be more ferocious and capable of fighting than ordinary hunting dogs, otherwise they would have died in the mountains long ago.
