Chapter 23: The Hunt
Chapter Twenty-Three: Hunting
A snow hare is looking around nervously, its long ears erect to listen to the sounds coming from its surroundings, and it has to be careful, because the slightest carelessness could cost it its life.
After a while, after discovering that Zhou was not in any danger, the snow rabbit jumped towards the bushes in front of him, and every short distance, the snow rabbit would stop and listen to the movements around him, and then continue to move forward after confirming that there was no danger.
However, its caution did not save its life, and a strange golden bird was standing in the treetops in the distance watching its every move.
Today's Zhang Yunpeng is no longer as reckless as he did when he saw his prey. He's now learned to hide himself, wait for an opportunity, and then quietly kill his target with a single blow.
Originally, he thought that it would not be easy to hunt some small animals at his world-beating flight speed. But after countless more empty-handed returns, he realized that he was very wrong.
The reason why those domestic pets can be easily caught is that they have long lost their due vigilance in a long-term comfortable living environment.
However, these wild animals live under the law of the jungle, but they have a variety of protection measures to maximize their survival under the mouth of predators.
Zhang Yunpeng began to follow the golden eagle out to hunt every day, and he learned the hunting method of the golden eagle. How to hide yourself, how to fly to the prey at the most appropriate time, and attack where the prey with your claws can make the prey incapacitated in the shortest possible time.
He was eager to learn the art of the hunter, yes, it was an art to him.
Looking at the snow rabbit grazing with its ears carefully pricked up next to the bushes in the distance, he raised his head from time to time and looked around, and his appearance could almost adore many little girls.
But Zhang Yunpeng doesn't care how it sells cute, he only knows that if he doesn't catch it today, he will be hungry.
At the moment when the snow rabbit lowered his head to graze, Zhang Yunpeng moved, kicked his legs the branches, and his body rushed towards the snow rabbit with lightning speed.
Zhang Yunpeng is in the air, and his wings are retracted as far as possible to form a triangle, which helps him get closer to his prey faster without making any sound, which is one of the techniques he has learned from the golden eagle these days.
The unsuspecting snow rabbit was instantly and firmly grasped by Zhang Yunpeng's sharp claws, grabbing the snow rabbit that was still struggling, Zhang Yunpeng flapped his wings and flew high into the air.
Flying in the air with the snow rabbit, Zhang Yunpeng only felt that his hunt this time was perfect. Whether it is an ambush or a hunt, it is all done in one go, as if it has been tempered by a thousand tempers.
"Haha, sure enough, my Brother Yunpeng is a genius, and he can complete the hunt alone in just a few days." Zhang Yunpeng thought proudly in his heart, he couldn't wait to shout a few times at the moment to show off his success to others.
With the results of his hunt this time, Zhang Yunpeng flew back to the golden eagle's lair.
The golden eagle was sleeping comfortably in its nest, and when it heard the sound of Zhang Yunpeng coming back, it immediately opened its eyes alertly. After seeing that it was Zhang Yunpeng, it chirped dissatisfiedly, and then fell back into the nest and fell asleep lazily.
Since the last time Zhang Yunpeng was allowed to hunt Tibetan antelopes alone, the golden eagle only brought a small amount of leftover meat to Zhang Yunpeng every day when he came back from hunting. No matter how Zhang Yunpeng protested, it waved its wings towards the entrance of the cave, which seemed to say: "If you have the ability, you can catch it yourself!" ”
Seeing that the golden eagle ignored him, Zhang Yunpeng knew that it must have eaten enough, so he no longer disturbed it to sleep, but enjoyed the hard-won prey alone.
After eating the snow rabbit meat, Zhang Yunpeng tucked his legs under his abdomen, made a cross-legged sitting posture, and then began the necessary cultivation every day.
His current cultivation is still in the early stage of innateness, and no matter how hard he cultivates, that aura still doesn't increase by half.
He also checked his body suspiciously, but he reluctantly found that his body was very healthy. ”
"Could it be that my cultivation method is wrong?" He thought to himself.
"No, I've always practiced according to the exercises left by the golden photon in my memory, and it's definitely not wrong." Soon, he dismissed his previous ideas.
"But why hasn't my cultivation improved at all?" The stagnation of his cultivation made him puzzled in his heart.
"Forget it, I don't want to do so much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." The optimistic personality makes Zhang Yunpeng no longer entangled in this issue.
The time lasted until late at night, and after completing today's cultivation, Zhang Yunpeng used the aura in his body to comb the golden eagle's body. Zhang Yunpeng is not the kind of villain who doesn't repay his kindness, and the 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 his aura to help the golden eagle strengthen its body.
Looking at the golden eagle that had slept even more heavily because of the input of aura, Zhang Yunpeng couldn't help but smile. According to Zhang Yunpeng's observation, the age of this golden eagle is about 50 years old, and according to human standards, it can be regarded as a person who can be his grandfather.
However, after his aura was strengthened, the golden eagle's body gradually regained its vitality, and its speed and strength have been greatly improved, and even its spiritual intelligence is much higher than before.
However, the consumption of this is also very large, every time he helps the golden eagle strengthen his body, Zhang Yunpeng's physical consumption is very large, he only needs to eat one meal a day, he has to fly out of the nest again, prepare a supper for himself.
Because it is located in the highlands, the night sky here is exceptionally beautiful, and the bright moonlight shines on the snow on the ground, and the whole world seems to be covered with a faint silver light.
The night is the world of predators, and the long howl of the snow wolf, the low roar of the cheetah, and the terrified neighing of those herbivores all add a touch of danger to the night.
On a cliff, a giant silver-white wolf roared loudly at the full moon in the sky.
"Whew"
Zhang Yunpeng was attracted by this roar, he looked for prestige, and saw a giant wolf about 1 meter high and nearly 3 meters long, standing majestically on the cliff, followed by hundreds of snow wolves. They all lay on the ground, their tails hanging low, and they did not dare to make any sound, as if they were worshipping their king.
"The Wolf King?" Zhang Yunpeng couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, he had never seen such a huge wolf: "With the size of this wolf king, I'm afraid that even a tiger is not its opponent."
Driven by curiosity, Zhang Yunpeng decided to fly over to see what the wolves were doing there.
