Chapter 805: Chapter 789: Supreme White Spear

Yue Feng was casually lying in the cellar eating while chatting with friends online, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the grouse bait tied next to the Y-shaped fork.

Usually, the grouse was quite at ease, occasionally struggling a bit, but unable to escape, it quickly settled down.

But today, the bird behaved unusually, lying on the ground motionless and frequently tilting its head to look up at the sky as if fearful of something.

Birds generally have much sharper eyesight than humans, and seeing the grouse’s behavior, Yue Feng quickly realized something was up.

“Guys, something’s happening!” Yue Feng quietly alerted, immediately maneuvering the drone’s camera to search.

He guessed it right; in the direction facing the sun, a white shadow appeared in the air!

Yue Feng confirmed the situation and quickly pulled the string tied to the grouse’s leg.

Even though the grouse was terrified, being suddenly pulled, it reflexively flapped its wings a few times.

Through the lens, the falcon that was originally circling suddenly noticed the grouse bait’s movement and flew straight toward the location.

In the wide-angle shot, the white shadow gradually flew overhead from the southern side, making Yue Feng tense up, his other hand silently clutching the rope to set the eagle net.

The falcon living in the no-man’s land has low vigilance against this kind of hunter’s trick; noticing the prey’s presence, it quickly sprang into action.

As Yue Feng teased the bait again, the falcon in the air suddenly adjusted its posture and dove toward the ground.

With both wings originally spread wide suddenly folded, it shot down like a speeding bomb.

The next second, the falcon descended from the sky, kicking at the grouse bait when close to the ground; after hitting it, it opened its wings again, turning low and heading straight for the grouse’s position.

This is it!

Yue Feng abruptly threw up the eagle net, and with a swoosh, both the eagle and grouse were caught in the net.

Seeing it caught, Yue Feng didn’t bother explaining and swiftly unveiled his disguise, crawling out of the cellar, running while taking off his clothes, and had his jacket off by the time he reached the net.

Don’t underestimate this eagle net; despite its wide mesh, it’s much smaller than the wingspan of a falcon. Startled by the surprise, the falcon spread its wings wide, ignoring the grouse, flapping around in the net!

Struggling probably had a chance to slip through, but now it’s tangled in the net, and Yue Feng covered the falcon with his jacket, crouching to grab it.

The falcon, facing a lethal threat, cried out unpleasantly, rasping loudly like a noisy duck.

But Yue Feng felt triumphant; once the falcon was covered with his jacket and in darkness, its struggle noticeably lessened. Yue Feng first grasped the falcon’s sharp talons, then removed the netting from its wings, completing the eagle capture plan!

What followed was simple: arm two loops, connect the toad and five-foot cord, and then equipped the rabbit-skin sleeve, securely holding the five-foot rope, forcing the eagle onto his arm.

It’s truly mandatory, not exaggerating at all; the length of the two loops binding the eagle’s leg barely leaves ten centimeters, with the other end firmly gripped, making flight impossible.

After failing to struggle and hung upside down, Yue Feng only needed a light arm flick for it to easily return to the arm. After several failed escape attempts, it stood firmly on the arm.

This falcon was still in a completely unfamiliar stage, mouth wide open, wings sagging down; any slight movement from Yue Feng and its big eyes darted around, trying to evade or escape.

Once Yue Feng soothed the falcon’s initial emotions, he breathed a sigh of relief and operated the drone for a close-up shot of the newly equipped falcon!

This falcon was a very standard white subspecies—its head, chest, belly all covered in pure white feathers, while its secondary flight feathers, back, and tail showed feathers like mottled colored chicken.

It stood there strikingly on the arm, with its agile frame, sharp gaze, yellow cere, serrated hook-shaped beak, and talons extending over three centimeters with blood grooves, all silently proclaiming its status as a top aerial predator.

“Haha, buddies! The wait was worth it! How’s that? Beautiful, isn’t it?” Yue Feng boasted as he struck a pose with the falcon.

“Damn! Brother Feng is amazing!”

“That move to set the net was thrilling; Brother Feng reacted so quickly!”

“This is what you call majestic; it’s a thousand times better than those zoo bald eagles without tails!”

Yue Feng shook his head: “We’re really lucky! If I’m not mistaken, this should be a one-year-old subadult female falcon!

Without a scale, I estimate it by hand; it weighs at least over 5 pounds, which is considered quite large among falcons! In other words, the falcon we’ve caught is a rare gem, no wonder at such a young age it already has its fixed territory!”

“What does subadult mean? Brother Feng, how did you tell?”

“These feathers, so white! So beautiful!”

“Raptors, like humans, occupy territories if capable; otherwise, they starve!”

Yue Feng said: “Subadult stage means they’ve left the nest but haven’t reached sexual maturity yet! My judgment is based on its feather color, especially around the tail above the waist!

You can look; the feathers here show a slight difference from the ones beside them, should be the juvenile down not yet fully shed, from the time it left the nest!”

Through the camera, it was clear that the feathers above the tail around the waist showed a distinct color difference, some appearing dark and dull, unlike high-quality feathers in other parts.

“What’s next? Is it time to train the eagle? Elders say if an eagle doesn’t behave, train it until it yields!”

“I’ve also heard of training eagles, Brother Feng are you planning to train it?”

“It’s said that training eagles is a bit harsh, breaking its will to make it obey!”

Yue Feng again shook his head with a smile: “Regarding training eagles, it’s not exactly wrong, but word of mouth has strayed far from the original intent! Raptors like the Bald Eagle have a big temper, indeed need training! But our falcon here, part of the falcon family with a gutsy nature, doesn’t need eagle training!

Just caught it, we mustn’t lack water; let’s head back to the shelter for some quick arrangements, then slowly train!”

With a greeting, Yue Feng, armed with the eagle on one arm and holding equipment in the other, briskly headed toward the wooden shelter!
