Chapter 137: The Golden Eagle (I)

On the way to the Eagle's Nest, Pepe curiously asked the bull about the species and habits of the falcons that inhabit the Rocky Mountains.

Throughout the Rocky Mountains, hundreds of different species of eagles, harriers, falcons, eagles and other fierce birds live. In the world of birds, the area where they live is equivalent to their airspace, and only one or a pair of powerful birds live under each airspace. Each ferocious bird is like the king of the sky in this area for its own airspace. In addition to the fact that their companions can share the same airspace, if other male birds violate the airspace they already belong to, it is like launching a challenge, and there will be a fight to the death between the two. The fight is fought to the death until the other side dies or is driven away, and the winning side takes over the other side's airspace.

The Bull concludes that the more powerful the bird of prey, the larger the airspace under its control.

The bull also told Pepe that the direction they were now traveling was the territory of a couple of goshawks, whose nest was perched on the top of a hemlock tree, the highest in their airspace. They only need to travel for about an hour, and after crossing a stream, they will officially enter the airspace of the goshawk couple. After about forty minutes of walking, you will reach the hemlock tree where the goshawk couple nested.

As she walked, Pepe curiously asked the fierce bull about the specific situation of the goshawk couple. For example: How many years have the Goshawks lived in that airspace? Is the goshawk's appearance beautiful and mighty enough? How long and how big is the wingspan of a goshawk after spreading its wings? What are the more powerful birds than goshawks, and so on.

The bull led the way and replied to Pepe: Under normal circumstances, wild eagle birds can live for about 20 years. As far as he remembered, the goshawk couple had lived in the airspace they belonged to for about five or six years.

As he spoke, the bull stretched out his arms, about the length of his arms, and explained to Pepe: Goshawks are small and medium-sized birds of prey, and their length is not huge. The entire length of the body with the wings spread. It's about the length of an arm's length about an arm.

After the bull withdrew his arm, he smiled and explained to Pepe, considering that Pepe had never had experience in falconry before. That's why he took Pepe to this goshawk's nest to hunt eagles. The feathers of the goshawk are grayish-brown striped. The head, tips and wings are white, and when they fly in the sky, they are still quite beautiful and mighty. Generally, people who like to domesticate birds of prey will choose this small and medium-sized goshawk for domestication.

Pepe pouted after hearing this, she hoped that the falcon she had caught, preferably a large bird of prey. The entire wingspan after spreading the wings must be longer than the arms, and the color is more dislike to be gray fluttering.

"Is there a bird of prey that is bigger, more powerful, more powerful, and a little more beautiful than a goshawk?" Pepe asked the bull with a frown.

The fierce bull smiled and replied, "That's a lot!" Like the bald eagle, also known as the American eagle. The wingspan length of an eagle is generally more than two meters, and the wingspan length is more than double that of a goshawk! The bald eagle has a sharp and hooked beak and claws, and its eyes are large and sharp, and it has excellent visual abilities in the sky. Except for the white feathers on the head, neck, and tail, the rest of the body is dark brown, and it looks majestic and beautiful at first glance. ”

Old Lyme interjected: "The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States!" If you are not majestic and beautiful enough, how can you be elected as the national bird by the Federal Assembly! ”

"Then pick it! Bull, I don't want small and medium-sized birds of prey like goshawks! If you want to choose, choose powerful, majestic, and beautiful! Can you take me to Bald Eagle's lair? Pepe asked.

"That's not going to work!" The fierce bull waved his hand again and again to refuse, "The bald eagle is too fierce!" Even if I take you to catch a goshawk, I'm worried that you might get hurt! Not to mention the famous bird of prey like the bald eagle! ”

Old Lem also frowned and shook his head: "Little Peel." Don't be embarrassed! Bald eagles generally prefer to live near coasts, lakes and rivers, and this is the Rocky Mountains region, which belongs to the mountainous landscape. There are very few bald eagles living here, and if you want to look for it, you simply can't spend enough time in a day! Moreover, this ferocious bird is also extremely difficult to catch, and its nests are usually set up on cliffs. The nearest cliffs are over two or three mountains. What's more, even if you cross the mountains, you may not be able to find the traces of the bald eagle in such a mountainous landform! Pell Jr. Don't pick and choose, just catch that goshawk couple! ”

Pepe was depressed. She continued to ask unwillingly: "Okay, then the bald eagle won't think about it!" But. I resolutely don't want goshawks! Mr. Bull, can you tell me what other birds of prey are more powerful and powerful than goshawks that live in this mountain range? Oh yes, the Eagle's Nest must be less than a day's away! ”

The fierce bull was a little hesitant.

He did know that there was such a bird of prey inhabited in this mountain range, known as the king of the air in the mountains - the golden eagle! The distance of the golden eagle's nest is only half a day.

During the hunting season last year, the old chief came up with an exam question called "Take the feather on the neck of a golden eagle", which was to test the bravery and wisdom of the young hunters in the tribe, and secondly, such a question was also a traditional test, which was specially designed to select the next chief.

At that time, as soon as the old chieftain's test came out, there were countless young people in the tribe who were considering whether to try their skills. Even he had come to the nest where the golden eagle had built, and had been observing and guarding for three days, but he had never had the confidence to try to invade the golden eagle. In the end, in order to avoid returning in vain, he had to find an opportunity to climb into the golden eagle's nest while the golden eagle was not there, and steal one of its fallen feathers and come back.

As a recognized warrior in the entire brown bear tribe, even he didn't dare to fight the golden eagle that was incomparably powerful at first glance, let alone other tribesmen? Therefore, after this exam question came out last year, there were many people in the entire tribe who had ideas, but none of them succeeded!

The feathers on the neck of the golden eagle are more dazzling than the color of its body and wings, as if it were wearing a golden collar! The neck of the golden eagle is located in its fatal part, and the feathers of the entire neck are obedient and dense. Unless it is in the case of a struggle, the neck position is normally very rare.

Therefore, the only way to fight the golden eagle is to use strong force. Plucking the golden feather from its neck is the only way to get it.

The fierce bull was even more hesitant after the winter of last year. When he went to observe this year, he found that the golden eagle had found a mate of the same breed. His mate laid three eagle eggs in the spring of this year.

As a rule of thumb, after a 45-day incubation period, the three eggs should have hatched into the eagles. Therefore, he was sure that there would never be an eagle in the nest of the golden eagle couple now, and the mother eagle would definitely guard the nest.

A golden eagle at the time. He didn't dare to fight with the golden eagle lightly, let alone that it was a golden eagle couple now, and the difficulty was definitely doubled.

Therefore, under Pepe's gaze, the fierce bull thought for a long time, and finally answered Pepe's question: "In this mountain range, there are indeed birds that live more powerful than the goshawk. However, this bird of prey is more dangerous, so I didn't intend to take you to try such a danger in the first place. ”

said. He told Pepe and Old Lem about the situation of the golden eagle couple. After saying that, the fierce bull persuaded Pepe: "I have thought carefully before I set out, taking into account the danger factor of all aspects. In the end, the goshawk couple was chosen as the target. Miss Pell, I hope you will still listen to me, and don't try danger lightly! ”

Golden eagle? In Pepe's concept, the eagle is a more powerful bird than the eagle, and the name golden eagle is incomparably tall when you hear it. Therefore, it is good that the fierce bull does not tell Pepe, and the result after saying it is conceivable.

In this case, you should have guessed the final result, right?

Yes, under the influence of the crooked entanglement and divine bewitchment of the Lord of Pei. The bull finally agreed to take Pepe to the golden eagle's lair for a walk.

As for Old Lyme? It was useless for him to blow his beard and stare at this time. Who cares what he thinks!

After marching for about 20 minutes, the three of them said goodbye to the brown bear tribe hunting team by a certain stream.

Afterwards. With the blessing of all the hunters of the hunting team, the fierce bull led old Lyme and Pepe to continue their march on foot in the direction of the airspace of the golden eagle couple in his mouth.

The three of them walked all the way for nearly three hours, and on the way, they passed through the airspace of the goshawk couple, the original target captured by the fierce bull Zeng Jianyì, and finally the fierce bull stopped under a certain hill.

"We're almost near the nest of the golden eagle couple! It's noon, so let's take a break. I'll go hunt some game and come back, and when I'm done lunch, I'll take you to the golden eagle's lair. Fierce Bull explained to the two behind him.

Old Lem untied his backpack silently and threw it at Pepe: "Next!" I'm going to hunt some wild animals with the bulls, and you don't go far from here. There's a lighter in your backpack, you pick up some firewood nearby and come back, and before we come back, you just turn the fire up. ”

Old Lem had been chattering a lot of objections and worries during the first half of his journey to the golden eagle's lair. However, the fierce bull who was bewitched by Pepe's divine sense was not affected by his words at all. Moreover, along the way, Pepe has been constantly expressing his extremely firm attitude to Old Lem, and Old Lem didn't dare to ignore Pepe, so he had to follow while persuading.

Unconsciously, old Lem followed them through the airspace of the goshawk couple in the process of persuasion. After this, old Lem finally shut up and stopped nagging. He had already realized that it was useless for him to oppose it at this time, and the two stupid daredevils around him were now thinking about how to capture the golden eagle. He might as well use his brains along the way, and help the two fools boldly think of a way to see if he can come up with a less dangerous way to capture the golden eagle.

Pepe didn't pretend to be roundworms in Old Lyme's belly, so she didn't know that at this time, Old Lyme had changed the name of her and the fierce bull to stupid and bold.

After she took the backpack that Old Lem threw over, she nodded at Old Lem and smiled: "Got it, you can go with confidence, I promise to raise the fire before you come back!" ”

Old Lem snorted, and instead of looking at Pepe, he directly took out the revolver pinned to his waist. After checking the safety bolt and ammunition, he tapped the bull on the shoulder with the handle of his gun and said, "Let's go, let's go and get back quickly." (Want to know more?)
