"Alright, then keep him tied up! This kid's pretty sensible; he's been behaving well since he realized there's no chance of escape, and he's been quite quiet these past two days!"

Yue Feng squinted and said calmly, "The quieter it is, the less secure it is. This guy might be looking for an opportunity!"

If we succeed and are ready to withdraw, and he tries anything funny, we won't even need to discuss it; we'll just shut him down!

“Okay, I’ll keep an eye on him!” Number Two volunteered to take on the task.

"Alright, that's about it for the details. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow! Everyone except those on night duty should get some rest and be ready to get to work tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

……

After the meeting, the night watch personnel continued to stand guard at their posts, while the others returned to their tents and went to bed early to rest.

Although Yue Feng's physical fatigue was not severe during this period, he was under considerable mental pressure.

My wife is heavily pregnant and waiting for me to come home. I've been away from home for many days now.

The old master of the Ye family was waiting for his blood transfusion to save his life, and so was Grandpa Wu. With so many things on Yue Feng's shoulders, it would be a lie to say he wasn't under any pressure.

Fortunately, the location of the suspended sheep has been locked and the preliminary preparations have been completed. We are just waiting to set off early tomorrow morning. Whether it succeeds or not, we will likely have a result soon.

Before going to sleep, Yue Feng crawled out of the tent with his hands behind his back, then strolled around the campsite to make sure there was nothing missing before returning to the tent and sleeping fully clothed.

The next morning, at four o'clock, before dawn, Yue Feng was the first to get up.

"Get up, everyone! Get ready, let's get to work!"

At a shout, the companions in the tent immediately got up, rubbed their eyes, and got to work.

After carrying weapons, distributing ropes, and then firecrackers, and once everything was ready, the people assigned tasks stood outside the camp.

Yue Feng glanced at everyone one last time: "Number Two, you and Xiao Wu stay here. Number Five, you go and keep an eye on the observation platform. Number One, Number Three, and Number Four, take the firecrackers to the positions assigned on the map. When you hear Number Five's signal, you all light the firecrackers together to make a noise!"
Do you understand everything? "

"Understood!"

"Alright, everyone, let's go! Number Two, you and Xiao Wu stay here and make breakfast for everyone. If we succeed, we'll come back, have breakfast, and then head down the mountain!"

"no problem!"

"Let's go! Good luck everyone!!"

At Yue Feng's command, everyone immediately began to act according to the task assignments.

Yue Feng followed the three people, number one, number three, and number four, to the location where they were moving down the cliff.

These three locations were specially selected by Yue Feng.

When you go down with a rope, there are more places to grab onto, and it's easier to climb back up.

The three positions occupy three different directions, thus covering the area where the ram fled south.

The light was dim, and visibility was poor, but with a rope around his waist and a partner to help him, this level of climbing wasn't too difficult for the soldier.

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao personally watched the three soldiers descend the cliff one by one to their designated positions before patiently waiting at the edge of the woods less than a mile from the observation platform.

As dawn broke, Yue Feng, with his eagle on his back and his dragon on his leash, sat on the ground without saying a word.

Xiao Tao fiddled with the AK47 in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you nervous? I suddenly feel a little nervous!"

"Nervous? You don't need to peck at the sheep's eyes, what are you nervous about?" Yue Feng's lips curled up slightly as he teased Xiao Tao in a low voice.

Xiao Tao shook his head: "I can't really describe what this feeling is like. I've never had a similar experience before."

Even when we went to fight that black tiger and the wild boar king, I wasn't nervous at all!

It's a strange feeling, like... like there's a pair of eyes watching our every move, and it makes us feel a little uneasy!
I secretly observed it a few times, but I didn't find anything unusual!

"What the hell?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng was slightly taken aback, and his expression immediately became serious.

Xiao Tao is a natural-born warrior. He gets excited at the sight of battle and remains completely calm even when facing real combat with bayonets drawn.

When facing the mutated black tiger and the thousand-pound wild boar king before, Xiao Tao never mentioned being nervous.

When he mentioned being nervous earlier, Yue Feng thought he was joking.

Listening to his detailed description, it wasn't just nervousness; it was the triggering of a sixth sense that he was being spied on.

Yue Feng remained in his current position and asked in a low voice, "When did you start having this strange feeling?"

"I hadn't noticed it before, but I had this feeling as soon as I left the camp this morning! As the sky brightened, the feeling got stronger and stronger! Could something be wrong?"

The sixth sense is a mysterious and elusive thing, completely unfounded and without any basis.

However, Yue Feng took it very seriously.

When I was with Grandpa Wu and my mentor Zhao Dashan, I heard the older generation talk about similar things.

The sixth sense truly exists, but its working principle and individual differences are unknown. If you encounter it, you can't completely ignore it.

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, I understand! It's nothing, don't overthink it!"
"There are less than twenty minutes left until the time yesterday morning when the goats were licking the rock salt. You're coming back to camp with me!"

"Okay!" Xiao Tao replied without asking any questions.

The two brothers strolled back to the camp as if nothing had happened, and saw Number Two and Xiao Wu squatting there cooking over a fire at the camp entrance.

"Boss, why are you back?" Number Two asked Yue Feng, quick-witted.

Yue Feng grinned, his expression seemingly normal, but his tone was strange as he said, "Come to the tent yourself in one minute. Xiao Wu, just keep an eye on the stove and don't touch anything!"

Having spent so much time together, Number Two immediately realized that Yue Feng had noticed something unusual, so he readily agreed, "Okay!"

Soon, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao entered the tent as if no one else was there.

A minute later, Number Two also opened the tent door with light steps, but his expression became serious after entering.

"what happened?"

"Xiao Tao said that from the moment he stepped out of the tent this morning, he felt like someone was watching him from behind!"

The brighter it got, the stronger the feeling became! I suspect we might be being watched!
Everyone else has reached their designated locations as instructed, and now you are the only one who is relatively free!
We'll leave the tent later and wait for number five to give the signal. If someone's watching, they'll definitely follow us!

Then you'll have a chance to find the person who's hiding!

Number Two paused slightly upon hearing this, then nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
There aren't many places around our camp where people can hide and keep watch, but it's not like there's no chance at all!
You all proceed normally, I'll search quietly!

"If someone is really watching us, they definitely didn't just arrive. Be careful, and don't hold back if necessary!"

"okay, I get it!"

"You go out first, we'll go out in three minutes, and then we'll leave immediately!" "Okay!"

……

After giving instructions to Freeman Number Two, Number Two casually grabbed a few packets of compressed biscuits for cooking and left the tent, then continued to tinker with the breakfast in the pot.

Three minutes later, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao, each carrying a piece of smoked meat, left the camp while playing with Canglong and feeding the dog.

After Yue Feng and Xiao Tao had taken Ying and Gouzi far away, Number Two quickly returned to the tent, took off his Type 81 rifle and magazine, and then nimbly slipped into the woods.

After Yue Feng and Xiao Tao returned to their previous waiting positions, there was still no signal coming from the observation platform.

Yue Feng glanced at the time on his wrist. There were less than ten minutes left. If Xuan Yang showed up, he should be here soon.

Three minutes later, just as the two were waiting patiently, the sly figure of the Sheepdog was spotted sneaking out from the observation platform on number five.

After patiently waiting for the sheep to leap onto the rock and begin licking the rock salt, Number Five decisively released the safety and fired a shot into the sky.

boom!
A sharp gunshot rang out early in the morning, like a thunderclap from a clear sky. Xuan Yang reacted instinctively and jumped up on the spot. Then, he stopped eating the rock salt and turned to flee towards the cliff to the south.

Just as they leaped to the edge of the cliff and onto the rocks, the three men, number one, three, and four, who heard the gunshot, immediately lit their white-skinned firecrackers.

At the same time, Yue Feng suddenly took off the hats of the big black eagle and the little white spear, raised his arm to make the two eagles take off and whistle in the direction where the hanging sheep had fled.

For a time, the cliff edge was quite lively.

From the opposite side, the bottom of the cliff, the east bank, and the south, came the muffled thuds of exploding firecrackers. With the echoes, the effect was exceptionally exaggerated.

Below the cliff, the fleeing sheep suddenly stopped abruptly, hesitated for a moment, then turned and continued running north.

After running for a while on the north side, the terrain along the cliff edge became noticeably gentler, with shrubs and low trees providing vegetation. The goats moved even faster on this terrain compared to the cliffside.

Just as the suspended sheep was making continuous turns and accelerating its escape, running about a hundred meters, the Black and White Duo, who had taken off to receive orders from their master, spotted the fleeing suspended sheep below.

Although the two falcons had never seen an animal with thick, curved antlers on its head before, they had experience hunting deer with their owner.

Compared to large animals like red deer, rams are only one size larger than roe deer, so in the eyes of eagles, there is no difference.

So, the black eagle climbed several dozen meters without hesitation, aimed at the fleeing sheep, folded its wings, and swooped down.

The ram, which was escaping through the obstacle course, heard a whooshing sound behind it and curiously turned around to look.

I didn't see anything clearly, but I felt a kick in my back.

Snapped!
With a sharp crack, the tiger's paw on the black eagle's claws kicked the hanging sheep, startling it so much that it almost lost its footing.

When adult goats of this size encounter golden eagles, the eagles generally do not attack them. At most, they will be driven away if they offend the territory.

The feeling of being kicked and struck by a falcon is something I've never experienced before in my life.

Although not fatal, the pain was very real.

This animal, similar to a goat, has a keen sense of perception but also a weakness: it is very afraid of pain.

The kick, both painful and frightening, made the sheep run away even faster.

In just a few seconds, before Xuan Yang could even react, the small white spear swooped down at high speed and delivered another kick to Xuan Yang.

With two consecutive kicks, the speed of the suspended sheep increased again.

Yue Feng stood on the edge of the cliff to check the situation below. Seeing that the two eagles had successfully landed, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was greatly relieved.

If the eagle dares to kick, the goat that runs north will have little chance of survival.

It didn't attack the eyes directly because it had two large, curved horns at the back of its head.

After testing the waters a few times to make sure there is no danger, it will definitely peck at the eyes and blind the person.

As expected, after several rounds of attacks, the big black eagle and the little white spear found that this hanging sheep didn't have any ability to threaten their safety.

Those large, curved horns, though beautiful, are not practical.

The eagle swooped down at high speed, leaving it no time to react.

Yo hoo!!!

At the crucial moment, Yue Feng cupped his hand to his mouth and let out a strange scream.

The fleeing sheep was slightly taken aback when suddenly a dark shadow fell before its eyes.

The next second, a pain shot through his eyes, and blood instantly flowed from both eyes, causing him to lose his sight.

The black eagle, having precisely performed the cataract surgery, used the sheep's head as leverage to propel itself into the air and quickly soar into the sky.

Then look at the blind ram. Because it was timid and scared, it ran forward a few steps, brushed against the edge of the bushes, was startled, jumped up suddenly, and then landed headfirst in a pile of bushes next to it.

His limbs were blocked by bushes, causing him to lose his footing, and his lower ribs hit a protruding rock.

This injury wasn't fatal, but it still caused Xuan Yang to convulse in pain.

With a mournful cry, it instantly lay prone beside the bushes and remained motionless.

"Damn! Job done! Number Five, come on over!"

Yue Feng was overjoyed to see this.

He immediately took out a rope from his bag, neatly tied a slipknot, and rushed towards the location of the hanging sheep.

The slope here is gentler, but when he got closer, Yue Feng still felt a little dizzy.

The terrain is relatively gentle, more level than a sheer cliff, but it's still not a place where ordinary people without climbing experience can jump down at will.

He was unlikely to die from a fall, but a broken bone was a real possibility. Yue Feng hesitated for two seconds before stopping.

Now that the main tasks have been completed, there's no need to risk your life again.

Upon hearing the call, Number Five slid down from the tree like a nimble monkey and then trotted towards Yue Feng's location.

"Damn, it's still a bit steep down there. Go down there! Xiao Tao and I will meet you!" Yue Feng said, handing the rope to Number Five.

Number Five glanced at it: "No problem, I'll handle it! Where's the target?"

"He was lying in that bush! His eye was pecked out by an eagle, and he bumped into a rock while hopping around in the dark. It should be a minor injury!"

Once you get close, first lasso its neck with a rope, then tie its limbs! Be careful not to get gored by its horns!

"Okay, I understand!"

Number Five, rope in hand, slightly lowered his center of gravity and nimbly descended the cliff, heading straight for his target, the hanging sheep. (End of Chapter)
