Chapter 34: Lord of the Eagle Mountain
In the early morning, the hunter village on the mountainside wakes up with the first ray of sunshine.

The mist covered the mountains and forests like a veil, and the villages were looming.

Wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys, interweaving with the morning mist.

The mountains in the distance appeared hazy in the morning light.

The "light snow" had passed and the weather was getting colder, especially the bone-chilling wind in the morning. So Jiang Yue changed into a cotton coat and trousers and put on a fur coat.

A deep warmth enveloped Jiang Yue, bringing him an inexplicable sense of security.

It is unknown when the first snow of this year will fall. The mountains will be blocked due to heavy snow, and hunters will not be able to enter the mountains, but they still have to pay hunting taxes.

So even though he had just experienced the Cang Ying Cliff incident, killed a lot of people, and earned twenty taels of silver, Jiang Yue was still under a lot of pressure. He dressed early in the morning, packed his hunting gear, had breakfast at Jiang Cong's house, and took Xiaotian into the mountains.

There isn't much to do in the mountains. Just go to the broad-leaved plains, meet the black panthers, check the big rooster traps in the bamboo forest, and then go to the peach forest to see if you can find any bargains. That's basically it.

Of course, whether there are other gains on the road depends entirely on how sensitive Xiaotian's nose is.

"Let's go meet Black Panther first!"

Jiang Yue recalled the experience of being chased by the black panther. He gritted his teeth and took Xiaotian straight to the Broadleaf Plain.

The man and the dog moved very quickly and soon reached the broad-leaved plain.

Along the way, Jiang Yue was looking for the black panther's traces, but unfortunately the black panther's footprints and smell seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Where's the Black Panther?"

Jiang Yue was confused.

Unable to find any trace of the black panther, Jiang Yue simply used his bow to hunt, thinking that the black panther would come to him once it smelled blood.

After tempering his skin to 60%, Jiang Yue became stronger and more endurance-savvy. He fired four or five arrows in a row without feeling tired at all.

Whoosh whoosh—

Arrows flew through the air, musk deer wailed, and a few pheasants fluttered and fell down.

【Time + 0.2 years】

【Time + 0.2 years】

【.】

【Time: 5 years】

In just half an hour, Jiang Yue caught four musk deer and seven pheasants. Together with the time he had spent picking Tianfeng grass, it made up a total of five years.

The increase in strength has made Jiang Yue's hunting speed soar.

Such a harvest in just half an hour was something that was unthinkable in the past. Before, if Jiang Yue wanted to catch so many prey, it would take at least an hour to do it.

One hour has reached the time limit for attracting wild beasts, so they have to leave.

"Xiaotian, dinner is ready!"

Jiang Yue threw the pheasant to Xiaotian, then he bent his bow and drew his arrow, ready to shoot two more deer.

He and Xiaotian, each with a dog, could take just six musk deer, which would yield six musk deer skins and seventy to eighty kilograms of good meat, enough for the Jiang family's four members to eat for twenty to thirty days.

Whizzing--

Jiang Yue found a good position and shot two more musk deer to death with one arrow after another, all of which hit the musk deer's eye sockets.

【Time + 0.2 years】

【Time + 0.2 years】

【Time: 5.4 years】

While shooting the musk deer, Xiaotian also finished eating the pheasant in a flash, then ran out shaking his head and brought the musk deer to Jiang Yue.

"Good dog!"

Jiang Yue rubbed the dog's head, tied up the musk deer with a rope made of broadleaf grass, carried five of them himself, and Xiaotian held one in his mouth. "Let's go, Xiaotian, go back and put the prey away, and then we'll go see the big rooster."

"Wang-"

The man and the dog returned to the Stinky Vine Cave with the prey. After dealing with the musk deer, they set out again, walking seven or eight miles west from the waterfall along the mountain road and arriving outside the bamboo forest.

Somehow, Jiang Yue still felt a little nervous.

Looking at the quiet bamboo forest, Jiang Yue took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe and looked around. Not seeing the big rooster, he simply walked directly into the bamboo forest and walked towards the trap he had set before.

When he was more than thirty meters away from the trap, Jiang Yue suddenly held his breath and became excited.

Because with his eyesight, he could see through the mottled sunlight shining through the bamboo forest a dark shadow in the trap cage. It was lying motionless in the cage, as if it had given up struggling.

Is it a big rooster?!
Jiang Yue ran towards the trap excitedly, and after seeing the situation around the trap clearly, he widened his eyes in surprise.

Next to the trap was the body of a large rooster.

The iron feathers of the colorful rooster had been shattered, and its jagged white bones fell to the ground. Only the chicken head had not been eaten, but it had already rotted and smelled bad, and many ants and insects were crawling and moving on the chicken head.

As for the trap cage, there was a handsome goshawk with black feathers all over its body and a white feather on its neck.

The goshawk's claws were like iron daggers, its beak was extremely sharp, its eyes were piercing, its body was seventy centimeters long, and it was curled up in the cage with its wings closed. Except for its constantly rotating eyeballs, its body was motionless.

Jiang Yue designed the cage to be very small and filled with mucus, trapping the goshawk inside and making it unable to move. As for the colorful bamboo shoots used as bait, they had disappeared.

Jiang Yue took a quick look at the scene and understood what was going on.

The big rooster was very smart. Even though the cage contained its favorite colorful bamboo shoots, it was not tempted. Jiang Yue came here several times and never saw the big rooster trapped in the cage.

However, the big rooster was targeted by the goshawk, fought with the hawk, and was eaten alive by the hawk.

Afterwards, the goshawk was lured by the colorful bamboo shoots, stepped into the trap, and was trapped in it.

"Goshawks don't come into contact with humans very often, and they're not as cunning as roosters. We're lucky to catch a goshawk."

Jiang Yue stroked his chin and said to Xiao Tian, ​​"But the goshawk is arrogant and it is a bit difficult to tame it."

"Wang-"

Xiaotian let out a cry and bared his teeth at the goshawk, as if he wanted to teach the hawk a lesson on behalf of Jiang Yue.

"Haha, no hurry."

Jiang Yue rubbed Xiaotian's head and said, "Take him home and endure it slowly. I want to see who can endure longer."

In his previous life, he had visited a falconer's home, followed the falconer to train hawks, and made documentaries, so he had some knowledge about falconry, but he had never tried it himself.

Now that there is a goshawk that is so handsome and ferocious, and can kill a colorful rooster alone, it is natural to try to train the hawk!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue carefully picked up the large cage on the ground. Just as he was about to leave, he felt his eardrums suddenly beating, as if someone was beating a drum in his ear hole, and his head became dizzy.

Roar--

A tiger roar suddenly exploded like rolling thunder.

The mountains and forests shook, the leaves fell like snowflakes, and the grass leaves swayed violently in the wind like waves.

The power was like a gust of wind that swept across dozens of miles. All the beasts fell silent, and the entire forest was trembling under the tiger's roar.

Xiaotian lay on the ground with his tail between his legs, whimpering.

The goshawk was startled and jumped out of the cage, struggling frantically.

Before the sound arrived, Jiang Yue's eardrums had already begun to feel uncomfortable.

And now the sound waves were sweeping across with such power that Jiang Yue suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if someone had grasped his heart with their hands. The severe pain spread from his chest to his whole body, making him feel weak all over.

The king of beasts, the tiger roars!
The sound waves surged and swept over with great power.

"Got to run!"

Jiang Yue's face was pale. He bit his tongue and forced himself to calm down. He pulled Xiaotian up and carried him on his shoulders, then turned around and ran away holding the big cage.
