Chapter 834: Chapter 817: The Essence of Taming Beasts

When the words “pet a fox” escaped Yue Feng’s lips, the chat room exploded.

“Is it really possible to pet a little fox?”

“Seeing it up close, the little fox is so pretty, I really want to touch it!”

“Feng bro wouldn’t lie, right? I’ve heard of petting dogs and cats, but petting a white fox is a first!”

“Have the brothers above heard of petting people? I’m unworthy, but well-versed in this art!”

“What does petting people mean? Does anyone know?”

“Catch the honest guy above alive!”

“Damn, the brother talking about petting people is really talented, describing it so refreshingly and elegantly.”

“Oh no, I was too naive!”

“I was naive too…”

Yue Feng glanced at the chat room, “Stop! This is a positive energy livestream, if you’re speeding in your car, stop it! It’s broad daylight, if you keep ranting, I’ll put you in the small black room!”

Yue Feng always walks the talk. As soon as things started to get rowdy, they immediately calmed down.

“Feng bro, Feng bro, let’s get back to talking about petting the fox? Are you really confident?”

Yue Feng shook his head uncertainly, “I can’t guarantee it, but I can give it a try! With so much snow, it’s hard for animals to hunt in the wild. Judging by this little fox, it must be really hungry, otherwise it wouldn’t be so bold!

When I return to the shelter, I’ll leave some meat at the snow house entrance. If it doesn’t wander far and we meet it again tomorrow, there’s hope!

By my estimation, in about two or three days, it should lose most of its wariness! Let’s give it a shot!”

After explaining to the stream viewers, Yue Feng continued fishing. However, other than keeping one for dinner, most of the fish he caught were returned to the icy hole.

As the sky darkened, Yue Feng tidied up his gear slightly and left two pieces of fish, slightly bigger than eggs, at the snow house entrance, then left with big strides.

The next morning, Yue Feng got up early. Snow had been falling for half the night, almost blocking the shelter’s door.

After the snow, the sky was blue without a hint of wind, but it was really cold outside, with every breath forming white vapor.

Yue Feng put on his snowshoes and walked around the camp, then took Xiao Bai for today’s lure stamina training. After more than half an hour, Yue Feng was sweating and Xiao Bai had happily eaten its fill from Yue Feng’s hand.

After breakfast and feeding the eagle, Yue Feng headed to the lake for live ice fishing. Since the lake wasn’t covered, the snow was thin, but along the way, he noticed several animal tracks.

When Yue Feng arrived at the snow house entrance while livestreaming, the two pieces of meat left yesterday were gone, leaving a distinguishable set of fox footprints.

Pointing at the footprints on the ground, Yue Feng said, “Guys, look at the footprints, the two front toes extend out, the rear pads are aligned, the side claws on the left and right aren’t as wide as a dog’s but pointed and narrow. These are fox paw prints!

Judging by the prints, it looks like the fox came after the snowfall! It’s very possible we’ll see that little guy again today!”

“Wow, Feng bro can even recognize fox footprints? Where did you learn this?”

“Feng bro is impressive, giving me the feeling he’s better than those self-proclaimed professional hunter challengers!”

“Haha, there’s a chance to pet a fox! Let’s fish first and wait for the little fox to come by!”

“Can’t help but tease that Feng bro is a bit stingy. With so many fish, he’d rather release them than leave any for the little fox!”

Yue Feng chuckled and shook his head, “The brother above clearly hasn’t grasped the essence of eagle training! If the little fox is full and satisfied, how are you going to befriend it?

The little food we left is just to keep it interested and prevent it from wandering. That’s all for today! Xiao Bai’s example is right here, wanting to eat freely only happens after successfully establishing a conditioned reflex and gaining trust!”

A word to awaken the dreamy, many stream viewers suddenly realized that starting from leaving food yesterday, Feng bro had already been in action. Releasing the caught fish and leaving that bit of food were all laying the groundwork for taming the fox.

“Oh wow, now I get it, now I get it!”

“Enlightenment! Feng bro is amazing!”

“Even the slyest fox can’t outsmart Feng bro the seasoned hunter!”

“It’s foreseeable that in the not-too-distant future, the little fox will be bagged by Feng bro!”

Yue Feng ducked into the snow house, placing Xiao Bai onto the perch to catch his breath, “Let’s not think too much, chisel ice holes to fish, we’ll talk when it comes!”

Yue Feng had been fishing in the snow house for two days, becoming increasingly proficient in his preparations.

Using the blade of the logging axe to chisel open the ice holes that had refrozen overnight, then using a wooden spoon to scoop out the ice bits bit by bit. After checking the fishing rig, he attached a small piece of meat and cast it into the water to fish properly.

Before nine o’clock, crunching footsteps on snow could be heard outside the snow house again. Yue Feng pushed the drone outside into the air, and the camera quickly caught sight of the white spirit from yesterday.

The little fox was as beautiful as ever but a lot bolder. Realizing the drone posed no threat, it only ran two or three meters before stopping.

Its little nose sniffed the snow and it cautiously crept towards the snow house’s entrance.

Yue Feng had already caught two fish. He deftly cut off a small piece of fish meat the size of his fingertip and casually tossed it near the snow house entrance, almost overlapping the place where he left meat last night.

Compared to yesterday’s frozen fish, today’s was much fresher. The fish had been caught moments ago and hadn’t frozen yet before Yue Feng butchered it, the piece of fish exuding a lethal seductive bloody aroma.

The little fox, with its keen sense of smell, quickly found the piece of meat and rushed over without hesitation, grabbing the fish and turning to run.

Yue Feng didn’t make any move afterward. Once the little fox ran away, he quickly tossed down another piece.

However, compared to yesterday’s fish, today Yue Feng was noticeably stingier. He only cut off a piece the size of a walnut, not even enough for the little fox to swallow in one bite.

The following time turned into a feeding interaction between Yue Feng and the little fox. After many rounds, the little fox’s wariness towards Yue Feng noticeably decreased.

How could one tell? Every time it got a piece of meat, it would run off quickly, but the distance it ran lessened each time.

After getting a piece again, the little fox didn’t run this time but timidly raised its head at the entrance, staring at the meat in Yue Feng’s hand, its gaze showing less caution and a touch more trust.

Seeing this, Yue Feng said nothing but cautiously pushed the remaining half of the salmon to the snow house entrance.

This time, the little fox hesitated! After stepping back a few steps, it stopped.

On one side was the fresh, bloody, sweet-smelling food, on the other side was a person’s hand. Should it eat? Would it be dangerous?
