Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Wang An picked up his binoculars and looked at the tiny dots. When he could see the hanging sheep clearly, tears of excitement almost welled up in his eyes.

I've heard that mutton is not only delicious, but also very nutritious!
However, as Wang An looked at the hanging sheep through his binoculars, he noticed that several of the hanging sheep were also looking in his direction.

Everyone says that the ram is extremely alert, even more so than the sika deer and red deer. Now that I see it, it's definitely true!

Wang An knew he couldn't go any further, because the four people had already aroused the suspicion of the hanging sheep.

If we get any closer, these goats will definitely run away. Given their incredible speed on cliffs, it will be very difficult to find them again.

So Wang An stopped and said to Mu Xueli and the other two:

"Don't go any further. Those goats are staring at us. They look like they're about to run away at any moment."

Wang Li aimed the gun again, and said somewhat unwillingly:

"It's from that far away, there's no chance of hitting them."

Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong also spoke up:
"I can't even see it, it's just a tiny dot."

"Yeah, I can't aim at it either, I definitely can't hit it."

Wang An ignored the three men, instead tilting his head back and whistling twice in the direction of the four eagles, then raising his hand and pointing towards the hanging sheep.

Upon receiving Wang An's command, the two golden eagles and two goshawks flapped their wings vigorously, flying straight towards the flock of hanging sheep like arrows released from a bowstring.

To be honest, without these four eagles, even if Wang An saw the rams moving around on the mountaintop, he would have been helpless and unable to do anything about it.

The main problem is that the location of the Suspended Sheep is at a very high altitude, often two or three thousand meters or even three or four thousand meters.

而56半的有效射程才400米，虽然理论上56半的最大射程是1千5百米，并且表尺瞄准距离也有1千米，但这些其实都只是说说而已。

Because with the naked eye of a normal person, it is impossible to see such a distance!

Even with Wang An's superb marksmanship, it was extremely difficult to hit them when he got within 400 meters. At this distance of over 800 meters, Wang An didn't even have the thought of pulling the trigger.

The main problem was that, apart from being able to see the small dots as skeletal sheep through the binoculars, Wang An couldn't aim at the gun's sights.

The problem is, it's way too damn far!
In addition, the stag goat is not only very alert, but it can also walk on cliffs as if it were flat ground, and it is incredibly fast. If you miss a shot, it will be difficult to find them again.

According to the old hunters, if they are frightened away by the gunshots, they will not come back for half a month or even a month.

It is precisely for these reasons that although all hunters know that the ram is a treasure, they may never be able to catch one in their entire lives.

That's just how cruel the truth is, incredibly cruel!

Of course, there are hunters who manage to catch a goat by lying in ambush and secretly firing a shot.

Eagles fly incredibly fast; Wang An felt as if the four eagles had already reached the airspace above the hanging sheep in the blink of an eye.

Just as the four eagles approached, all the hanging sheep were startled and ran desperately in the opposite direction from Wang An and the others.

Wang An could see it very clearly through the telescope. The speed of the hanging sheep was really fast. Even when running between cliffs, its speed was not affected at all. It was much more agile than the blue sheep, which could also climb rocks.

Although the rams are very fast, they are, after all, just land creatures. Compared to eagles, the rulers of the sky, they are still far inferior in speed.

Therefore, Wang An saw that the two smaller eagles only glided and each caught up with a running lamb.

The two rather large golden eagles each caught up with a ram with long horns.

Upon seeing this, Wang An felt a surge of excitement.

Immediately afterwards, the four eagles spread their wings and slowed down, keeping pace with the speed of the goat. Then, they extended their talons and, while maintaining the same running speed as the goat, suddenly descended and grabbed down.

Eagles have long, sharp talons. Once they grab their prey, they instantly pierce through the prey's fur and embed their talons deep inside.

Although the largest of these goats only weigh 120 to 130 kilograms, they live on cliffs all day long, so their leg muscles are quite developed.

The key is that the goat is a type of goat, and in terms of personality, it is the kind of goat that dares to resist and fight. So although they are afraid of eagles and will run away when they see an eagle, they will never sit idly by and wait to die if they are caught by an eagle.

Therefore, Wang An could clearly see through the binoculars that after the two large rams were caught by Da Jin and Xiao Jin respectively, they had begun to jump and kick in circles.

It seems they want to use their very powerful hind hooves to kick the large or small golden pheasant on their backs.

For a moment, Da Jin and Xiao Jin were in a complete mess, frantically flapping their wings to maintain their balance. Wang An, who had been observing the battle through binoculars, couldn't help but clench his right hand tightly; he was truly worried for Da Jin and Xiao Jin!
You should know that Da Jin and Xiao Jin only weigh about fourteen pounds, while the two hanging sheep must weigh at least eighty or ninety pounds, or even a hundred pounds.

With such a significant weight difference, anyone would think that the golden eagle would have a hard time catching the ram.

However, Wang An knew from watching the animal show in his previous life that golden eagles could only lift objects up to ten times their own weight before taking off.

Otherwise, Wang An wouldn't have trained golden eagles to hunt rams.

What's more, just a while ago, Da Jin and Xiao Jin caught a roe deer. Da Jin even caught a large male roe deer weighing over 70 kilograms, and he flew back with it in his arms.

However, perhaps because the flight took a long time, Da Jin became exhausted while carrying the roe deer, so the male roe deer was literally thrown to its death right in front of Wang An.

As for the female roe deer that Xiao Jin caught, weighing forty or fifty pounds, it naturally met the same fate.

The reason Wang An was worried about Da Jin and Xiao Jin was because roe deer are generally cowardly and easy to bully, and they don't dare to resist once caught.

But the ram is something that really doesn't tolerate enemies who dare to hunt it; it fights back with all its might.

Fortunately, after a while of stalemate, Da Jin suddenly grabbed the hanging sheep and soared into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jin first released the hanging sheep he was holding, adjusted his posture, and then suddenly grabbed it again, flapped his wings a few times, and took off into the air.

Wang An couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Beautiful! Hahahaha!"

When Wang An exclaimed in surprise, Mu Xueli, Wang Li, and Huang Zhong also saw the two golden eagles each grab a roe deer and fly away. Mu Xueli and Wang Li were so shocked that they couldn't speak, while Huang Zhong, having witnessed the golden eagles carrying roe deer before, didn't react as strongly.

After a long while, Mu Xueli murmured:

"Holy crap, this is absolutely disgusting!"

Wang Li couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Awesome, absolutely awesome, those two golden eagles are incredible."

Unlike Da Jin and Xiao Jin, the two smaller eagles, Da Cang and Xiao Cang, were faster and more agile, and had already returned each carrying a lamb weighing less than 10 pounds.

It's clear that this weight of less than 10 pounds is not much of a strain for a hawk that weighs just over 2 pounds.

Soon, the four eagles each grabbed a goat and flew back.

The scene was so exciting that Wang An quickly called out to the three men:
"Get ready quickly, get ready quickly, bring all the sheep over here, don't let them fall and die, it would be a waste if they did."

After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli and the other two agreed and stretched out their hands to receive the sheep.

Holding the ram, the four eagles were not very fast. After Wang An whistled three times in a row, the four eagles landed one after another, seemingly ready to drop the ram at any moment.

Finally, the four eagles released the ram from their talons.

Unfortunately, these four eagles only recognized Wang An, not Wang Li and Mu Xueli.

This resulted in all four hanging sheep—two large and two small—falling right in front of Wang An. But Wang An only had two hands; how could he possibly catch all four hanging sheep?

So, after Wang An pinned down a large ram with horns, Mu Xueli and Wang Li also stepped forward and worked together to pin down another, even larger ram. Of course, Huang Zhong also pinned down a small lamb.

With four people holding down three sheep, the last lamb was left unattended. So, as soon as the lamb landed, it bleated twice with a bewildered expression, and then, as if it hadn't been hurt at all, it ran off quickly.

Mu Xueli got up to give chase, but the two lynxes were faster than her.

Although a lynx can't catch up with an adult ram, it can still easily catch a lamb.

In less than 20 seconds, Da Mao returned with the runaway lamb in his mouth.

Surprisingly, these two lynxes, who had been defying Wang An's discipline, finally became somewhat useful.

Wang An pulled out a rope and quickly tied the hanging sheep up tightly.

That's right, we tied it up tightly. The old hunter told us that this thing has incredibly strong legs and can break through ordinary ropes. We finally managed to catch it, so we couldn't let it get away!
Soon, all four eagles were tied up. Wang An comforted the four eagles for a while, praised Da Mao a few times, and then said excitedly:

"Let's go home, hahaha, today's been fucking smooth sailing." (End of Chapter)
