Chapter 365: Eagle Training
"Who do you expect to see? Candle Yin God? Hou Yi looked at the young man in front of him, "Or is it sour?" ”
"I want both." Mu Yan sat cross-legged on the ground without care, holding her chin, "The last time we met was five years ago, and I still want to see each other." ”
As a young man who has just grown up, his face has begun to shed the immaturity of the year, and the edges and corners of men have begun to appear on his face. The strength contained in the body has also increased significantly, and even some loose robes have not been able to hide the power contained in the body.
Even as the sleeves slipped, the centipede-like scars on the exposed arms looked a little hideous on the wheat-colored skin.
It's just that no matter how you look at it, the boy doesn't seem to have made achievements in bows and arrows.
"Did you also come to shoot the Golden Crow once?"
"No, I don't know how to shoot arrows." Mu Yan shook his head, "I'm just going up the mountain routinely today. ”
"Five years ago, when the master returned to the mountain, he took a fancy to Mu Yan and said that he might have a talent for eagle training, so he brought him to Kunlun Hill." Chang Ying had already skillfully laid out the bedding, "The general of the Condor Battalion likes him, saying that it has been many years since such a young falconer has appeared. ”
The Condor of Kunlun Hill is a race with the blood of Kunpeng flowing in its body. Although they are not as unclear as the Roc, they are more than one meter wide and have a wingspan of nearly ten meters. They soar high in the air to tear through clouds, but they are prey that can be seen clearly, and their claws, as sharp as steel hooks, allow them to easily crush the backbones of ordinary animals after swooping down from high altitudes.
And this fierce bird was tamed by the heroic warriors of Kunlunqiu with a unique method to tame their ancestors.
The hardest thing for the Condor is not to find their tracks, but to find their nests. Soaring above the sky, no one can see them near the ground except when they are hunting, even where they drink is a mystery. The brave and clever ancestors chose to kill the fed and tie it to themselves, and then disguised themselves as the fat sheep that was grazing on the grasslands in the condor's usual predation range, until the eagle swooped down from the sky and brought him back to the eagle's nest at the top of the mountain.
The test of courage and wisdom begins at this time. Although the eaglets in the eagle's nest have not yet grown their feathers, their talons and beak have begun to emit cold light. For the food brought back by their mother, they don't need to wait for their mother to open their prey for them, hunger makes them impatient to fix their prey with their sharp claws, and their sharp beaks bite the fur and tear it hard, revealing the bright red flesh inside.
The young eagles not only have no light and lower claws, but also have fierce and strong adult eagles eyeing them around, and the warriors who enter the eagle's nest need to dodge the beaks of the lambs with their sharp claws and beaks like spears and swords, and not disturb the fierce birds that are eating.
Although the Condor's nest is huge, it is still slowly crowded by the birds in this nest. After the warrior leaves from under the lamb, he needs to hide himself in the intertwined branches of the nest immediately, trying to gather his breathing, and even his heartbeat, to the weakest state, and wait until the moon sets in the west and the sun rises again, and then the eagle has left the nest and the young eagle is not fully awake, and hides from the nest to the cliff.
He may have been the first to climb the cliff, but he was not the last. In the days that followed, he needed to hide in the gap between the bird's nest and the cliff, quietly waiting for his companions to arrive.
After that, there will be fighters who hide in this gap like him, there are also soldiers who make mistakes and are found by the young eagles and eaten up, and some are directly scratched by the eagle's claws when they are caught due to the wrong posture.
By the time the five of them were finally gathered, half a month had passed. At this time, the feathers of the young eagles have begun to take shape. Their wings are not as spread as their mother's, but they are five meters wide.
At this time, the adult eagles no longer go out early and return late, but will use their wings to drive them out of bed when the sun rises, and even drive them out of the nest one by one without waiting for them to wake up.
Falling from a high altitude, the life and death crisis forced the eagles to try their best to straighten their wings and stabilize their bodies like their mothers usually soar in the air, and then flap their wings rhythmically. There will be eagles that successfully ride the wind from the bottom of the mountain back to the top of the mountain, there will also be eagles who just know how to glide and have to fall to the ground, and then become the belly of the beast, and there are birds that have not even learned to glide and smash directly to the ground in the indiscriminate fluttering and struggling.

The young eagles, who have learned to fly, will be able to fly straighter and more steadily after about seven days, and this stage is already the time for the warriors to gamble their lives again. They would spend the night by placing a hidden hedron-polished eyepatch over the heads of the eagles while they were asleep, and then driving them away from their nests when they thought it was getting light, and tying themselves to the talons of the eagles, risking being crushed by their talons, using the rope to control them where they wanted to go.
Instead of bringing the eaglets directly back to the tribe, the warriors took them to another hidden cave, where their companions were already waiting for their return. They lock the beaks of the young eagles with their iron beak and make it impossible for them to eat; They are chained to their feet so that they cannot take off their muzzles with their claws.
In order to avoid being injured by their powerful wings, the warriors would choose to leave the cave, leaving the eagles in the cave before they had grown.
Eagles that are still growing their bodies simply can't go a day or two without food like an adult eagle. And the ever-bright spar made them hungry and irritable not even have time to sleep. After a few days of starvation, when they no longer have the strength to flutter, the warriors will return with fresh beef and mutton.
They will lead the eaglets out of the cave, first remove the eaglet's blindfold so that they can see that it is not their mother who is bringing them food at this time, and then remove the muzzle and allow them to eat and drink.
Naturally, the proud Condor would not just give in, so the process would continue over and over again until they realized that their survival could only depend on the featherless animals standing on two legs in front of them.
