Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage
Chapter 217 Human-Pet Hunt
"That's strange. The gyrfalcon isn't a natural enemy of the ibex, so why can't we see any ibex at all?"
Chen Yongqiang knew clearly: "The main natural enemies of the blue sheep on cliffs are wolves, snow leopards, and lynxes, which are top land predators."
"Occasionally, the cubs are attacked by large birds of prey such as golden eagles."
"Although the gyrfalcon is swift, its diet and hunting methods do not pose a direct threat to adult argali sheep."
After a while, Chen Yongqiang climbed onto a rock with an excellent view, raised his binoculars again, and searched for the possible hiding place of the snow leopard.
No trace of the snow leopard was found, but through the binoculars, one or two wild rabbits were spotted hopping on a rocky slope in the distance.
However, the distance was too great, and there were steep ravines in between, so Chen Yongqiang had no intention of firing his gun.
Just then, a sharp bird call, "Chirp! Chirp!" suddenly came from a patch of withered grass not far away.
Chen Yonggang turned his head and saw that Tianlang had already rushed over, and there was a sudden thud in the grass.
A hazel grouse squeaked and darted out of the dry grass, flying away close to the ground.
Chen Yongqiang reacted quickly, took the rifle off his back, and was about to aim.
But a white shadow was faster than him, like a diving cannonball, shooting down from high above and precisely pouncing on the hazel grouse that had just taken off!
The gyrfalcon circling overhead had already locked onto this prey on its menu.
"This gyrfalcon dares to snatch food from my hands!" Chen Yongqiang couldn't help but complain as he watched the spectacular strike in the air.
He didn't shoot the gyrfalcon. Even if he killed it, it would just be a pile of worthless feathers.
"A living gyrfalcon is what's truly valuable."
There is a long-standing story that, in the early years, someone reportedly captured a live gyrfalcon and presented it to Emperor Qianlong.
Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed and immediately bestowed upon that man the position of a seventh-rank official!
Although we live in a new society, the value of this apex predator remains immeasurable.
"If we could catch one alive, and then run into one of those wealthy tycoons in the capital who like to keep falcons..."
As Chen Yongqiang watched the gyrfalcon rise again into the sky, he thought to himself, "Changing to a traditional courtyard house shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
He only has a gun now, no professional eagle-catching tools.
It is virtually impossible to capture a gyrfalcon, which flies at extremely high speeds.
"Let's wait until June or July, when the gyrfalcons are incubating their eggs, and then we'll try to take a few eagle eggs back with us."
Taming such a top predator requires starting from hatching. Adult gyrfalcons like those in the sky are too wild to tame; forget about it.
After searching the area for a long time, no trace of snow leopards was found.
Chen Yongqiang glanced at the sky, then led Tianlang back the way they had come.
On the way back, as they passed through a grove of trees, Chen Yongqiang stopped Tianlang, who had suddenly become agitated.
Through the gaps between the tree trunks, he saw a sow leading six or seven piglets not far away.
Each one is estimated to weigh several tens of kilograms and is foraging in the pile of fallen leaves.
"These little wild boars, once they grow up, I wonder how many crops they'll destroy in the village," Chen Yongqiang thought to himself.
How can we wipe out this group of potential menaces in one fell swoop?
He had encountered a similar situation before, but back then he was using a double-barreled shotgun.
After firing two shots, we had to stop and reload, and in the end, a few of them still managed to escape.
Now things are different. Chen Yongqiang has a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with ten bullets in the magazine, which can be fired continuously!
With Sirius keeping them occupied, the chances of dealing with the wild boars are much higher.
Chen Yongqiang surveyed the surrounding terrain, pointed to a clearing to the left front, backed by steep rocks, and whispered the order to B:
"Tianlang, go and drive those wild boars to that spot."
Sirius, who had been itching to charge, did not immediately charge after receiving the order.
Instead, it lowered its body, like an experienced hunter, and silently circled around to the side and rear of the wild boar herd.
Chen Yongqiang crouched down and moved behind a protruding rock.
The view from there was expansive, directly facing the clearing below the rocks, making it the perfect ambush spot.
Just then, Sirius suddenly leaped out from behind a bush in the direction the wild boar herd was heading!
The wild boars, who were busy foraging for food, were startled by the sudden interception and let out a terrified scream.
In a panic, he turned around and instinctively fled towards the relatively narrow open space that Chen Yongqiang had planned!
Sirius is extremely intelligent. When it sees wild boars trying to run off to the side road, it immediately pounces on them, forcing them back onto the right path.
In a panic, the wild boars were quickly driven to the clearing backed by the rocks.
They all had their backs to the steep rock face, facing the wolf blocking their path with terror.
But they didn't know that the real, deadly danger came from the side.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot shattered the standoff in the woods! Chen Yongqiang pulled the trigger.
The first bullet hit the largest sow behind the ear, a vital spot!
The sow didn't even grunt before her body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Without their mother's guidance, the piglets were thrown into chaos, some running around in panic.
Some tried to escape in different directions, but Chen Yongqiang gave them no chance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gunshots rang out continuously in the woods, each bullet hitting a small wild boar in a vital spot.
Within a few seconds, six wild boar pups fell to the ground in pools of blood.
Only one wild boar remained, and it instinctively fled desperately into the depths of the forest.
Chen Yongqiang immediately raised his gun and aimed, his finger already on the trigger.
But just as the crosshair locked onto the target, he saw a gray figure.
Sirius had already caught up with it like lightning, and with a few leaps he closed in on the fleeing wild boar!
Fearing he might accidentally injure Tianlang, Chen Yongqiang immediately raised the muzzle of his gun and removed his finger from the trigger.
Before long, the panicked squeals of wild boars could be heard coming from the woods ahead.
Chen Yongqiang quickly chased after him and saw that Tianlang was biting the little wild boar's ear tightly.
No matter how much the wild boar struggled and thrashed, it would never let go.
Chen Yongqiang took out a hemp rope from his spatial storage and strode forward: "Well done, Tianlang!"
He tied the little wild boar's four hooves with rope, and then used the remaining rope to make a noose to put over its long snout.
If this live wild boar were taken to the county town, it could fetch a good price.
Back at the scene where the wild boar had fallen, Chen Yongqiang looked at the two- or three-hundred-pound female wild boar: "The meat of this female wild boar is a bit tough, and the gamey smell is probably strong. It won't fetch a good price."
"Those few wild boars, each weighing several dozen kilograms, are different. Their meat is tender and juicy, making them top-quality goods that can be sold for a good price, whether for personal consumption or for resale."
Chen Yongqiang put the wild boar carcasses and the tied-up baby wild boar into his spatial storage.
He turned and patted Sirius on the head: "You've worked hard. When we get back, I'll reward you with a piece of wild boar king meat!"
