Chapter 3 Hunting
()
A snowshoe rabbit was looking around nervously, its long ears erect, listening to the sounds from around it. It had to be careful, because a moment of carelessness might cost it its life.
After a while, after discovering that there was no danger, the snowshoe rabbit jumped towards the bushes ahead. Every time it walked a short distance, the snowshoe rabbit would stop and listen to the surroundings to confirm that there was no danger.
Then he continued to move forward.
However, its caution could not save its life. A golden strange bird was standing on the treetop in the distance watching its every move.
Today, Zhang Yunpeng no longer rushes forward recklessly when he sees his prey like he did in the past. He has now learned to hide himself, wait for the opportunity, and then silently kill the target with one strike.
Originally, he thought that hunting small animals with his unparalleled flying speed would be easy. But after returning empty-handed countless times, he realized that he was completely wrong.
The reason why domestic pets can be easily captured is because they have long lost their due consciousness after living in a comfortable environment for a long time.
However, these wild animals, which live under the law of the jungle where the weak can eat the strong, have a variety of protection measures to maximize their survival from predators.
Zhang Yunpeng began to follow the golden eagle out to hunt every day. He learned the golden eagle's hunting method. How to hide himself, how to pounce on the prey at the most appropriate time, and use his sharp claws to attack where the prey is, so that the prey can reach the prey in the shortest time.
Loss of mobility for a period of time.
He eagerly studied the hunter's art. Yes, it was an art to him.
Looking at the snowshoe hare eating grass carefully with its ears erect next to the bushes in the distance, it would raise its head and look around from time to time. That look could make many little girls look cute.
But Zhang Yunpeng didn't care how cute it looked, he only knew that if he didn't catch it today, he would be hungry.
The moment the snow rabbit lowered its head to eat grass, Zhang Yunpeng moved, kicked his legs hard on the branches, and rushed towards the snow rabbit with lightning speed.
When Zhang Yunpeng was in the air, his wings contracted inward as much as possible to form a triangle, which could help him approach the prey faster without making any sound. This was one of the techniques he had learned from the golden eagle these days.
The unsuspecting snow rabbit was instantly caught firmly by Zhang Yunpeng's sharp claws. Holding the snow rabbit that was still struggling, Zhang Yunpeng flapped his wings and flew high into the sky.
Flying in the air with the snow rabbit, Zhang Yunpeng only felt that his hunting this time was perfect. Both the ambush and the hunting were done in one go, as if he had gone through thousands of tempers.
"Haha, it's true that my brother Yunpeng is a genius. He was able to complete the hunt alone in just a few days." Zhang Yunpeng thought proudly in his heart. He wanted to scream loudly at this moment to show off his success to others.
.
With the results of his hunting this time, Zhang Yunpeng flew back to the golden eagle's nest.
The golden eagle was sleeping comfortably in its nest. When it heard the sound of Zhang Yunpeng coming back, it immediately opened its eyes alertly. When it saw it was Zhang Yunpeng, it chirped dissatisfiedly, and then lay back in its nest to laze.
Yangyang fell asleep.
Since the last time Zhang Yunpeng was allowed to hunt Tibetan antelope alone, the golden eagle only brought a small amount of leftover meat to Zhang Yunpeng every day after hunting. No matter how Zhang Yunpeng protested, it always waved its wings towards the entrance of the cave, which seemed to mean
Said: "If you have the ability, go catch it yourself!"
Seeing that the golden eagle ignored him, Zhang Yunpeng knew that it must have been full outside, so he stopped disturbing its sleep and just enjoyed the hard-won prey by himself.
After eating the snow rabbit meat, Zhang Yunpeng folded his legs under his belly, made a cross-sitting posture, and then began the necessary daily exercises.
His current cultivation level is still at the initial stage of his innate state, and no matter how hard he practices, his spiritual energy still hasn't increased at all.
He also checked his body with doubts, but found out helplessly that his body was very healthy. "My body is great, and everything I eat tastes good."
"Is there something wrong with my cultivation method?" he thought in his mind.
"No, I have always practiced according to the techniques left by Jin Guangzi in my memory. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it." Soon, he rejected his previous thoughts.
"But why hasn't my cultivation improved at all?" The stagnation of cultivation left him puzzled.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge." Zhang Yunpeng's optimist character made Zhang Yunpeng no longer dwell on this issue.
It lasted until late at night. After completing today's practice, Zhang Yunpeng used the spiritual energy in his body to comb the Golden Eagle's body. Zhang Yunpeng is not the kind of villain who doesn't repay his kindness. Golden Eagle has taken good care of him during this time.
In order to repay it, Zhang Yunpeng waited for the golden eagle to fall asleep and then used spiritual energy to strengthen the golden eagle's body.
Looking at the golden eagle sleeping deeper due to the input of spiritual energy, Zhang Yunpeng couldn't help but smile. According to Zhang Yunpeng's observation, the age of this golden eagle is probably more than 50 years old, which is considered to be OK according to human standards.
Become his grandfather.
However, after being strengthened by his spiritual energy, the golden eagle's body gradually regained its vitality, and its speed and strength were greatly improved. Even its intelligence was much higher than before.
However, this consumes a lot of money. Every time he helps the Golden Eagle strengthen his body, Zhang Yunpeng consumes a lot of energy. He originally only needs to eat one meal a day, but he has to fly out of the nest again to prepare for himself.
Night snack.
Because we are on a plateau, the night sky here is exceptionally beautiful. The bright moonlight shines on the snow on the ground, and the whole world seems to be covered with a faint silver light.
Night is the world of predators. The howling of snow wolves, the low roar of cheetahs, and the frightened neighing of herbivores all add a dangerous atmosphere to the night.
On a cliff, a giant silver-white wolf roared loudly at the full moon in the sky.
"Aw...wow..."
Zhang Yunpeng was attracted by the roar. He looked for the sound and saw a giant wolf about 1 meter tall and nearly 3 meters long, standing majestically on the cliff, followed by hundreds of snow wolves. They were all lying down.
They lay on the ground with their tails hanging low, not daring to make any sound, as if they were paying homage to their king.
"Wolf King?" Zhang Yunpeng couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. He had never seen such a huge wolf before: "With the size of this wolf king, even tigers may not be its opponent."
