Chapter 2705: Eagle shooting

Zhu Feng smiled and pointed forward: "Look at what it is."
Nan Yan looked up and saw that there was a huge dark mountain directly in front of the sky, standing like a barrier on the endless grassland.
She opened her eyes wide and said, "Is there another mountain here?"
"..."
"My concubine always thought that there were no mountains on the grassland."
Zhu Feng smiled and said: "You forgot the last time you were in that deserted city. Didn’t there also be mountains? The grassland is not without mountains, but there are few, plus the grassland is too vast, don’t run farther, and you can’t see the scenery here. of."
"..."
Nan Yan couldn't help but ride his horse and took another step forward, looking up at the tall mountain.
He sighed lightly: "Really, don't go a little further, you can't finish the scenery."
When she was looking at the mountain and marveling at the beauty of the scenery, a long groan was suddenly heard in the sky, and she raised her head again, but because she was so leaning too much, she almost fell on the horse's back.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng, who was around him, was quick and quick, and he reached out and caught her.
Smiled and said: "What are you doing!?"
"what sound?"
Listening to the voice, Nan Yan was very interested. He raised his head and looked around the sky. Zhu Feng naturally heard it and said, "It's a carving."
"Carved?"
"Yes, the eagles on the grassland usually build their nests on high mountains. If you guess right, there are large eagles' nests on this mountain."
As he was talking, a black spot flew over in the high sky.
A closer look reveals that it is a large eagle, spreading its wings as long as one person, hovering over their heads, making a long cry, and the sound is shaking.
Nan Yan sighed, "It's so big."
She stretched out her hand to cover her eyes again and said, "Besides, flying so high, it's about to reach the sky."
Zhu Feng also looked up and looked up.
He smiled and said: "People on the grassland think that the eagle flying so high, with nine days above it, is the bird that can most perceive the will of heaven. Therefore, they regard the eagle as a divine bird, and even think that if the eagle can be shot, there will be good luck."
"Shoot it?"
When Nan Yan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, watching the big eagle flying above the sky with almost a black spot.
Exclaimed: "Fly so high, who can shoot it?"
Zhu Feng said: "Naturally not everyone can shoot."
"..."
"I heard that in the past, people on the grassland used eagle-shooting as their criterion for judging heroes. Those who can shoot a bird of prey flying so high are their sharpshooters and their heroes."
"..."
Nan Yan listened and suddenly smiled and said, "Can the emperor shoot it?"
Zhu Feng didn't speak, only looked up.
His skill is not bad, and his arrow technique is also accurate, but he only shoots enemies on the battlefield, and the distance is not so far. Before that, he had never tried shooting eagles.
In fact, just now, when he saw the eagle flying over, he was a little eager to try.
Hearing what Nan Yan said, he took the bow hung on the horse back in his backhand, drew the arrow and lay it on the string, and immediately pulled the bow full and aimed it at the eagle in the sky.
Nan Yan held his breath immediately.
However, just as Zhu Feng tried to aim at the circling and flying eagle with the tip of his arrow, the eagle suddenly let out a long mumble and suddenly leaned forward and rushed down towards them.
"Ugh?"
Nan Yan was stunned.
Ordinary birds will fly far away vigilantly when they see people. If the eagles are recognized by the people on the grassland as the sacred bird and can perceive the will of heaven, how can they be so slow that they fly towards them? .
Isn't it a chance to fly so close?
Seeing the eagle flying closer and closer, Nan Yan's brows frowned.
She hurriedly turned her head: "The emperor!"
I saw that a bow in Zhu Feng's hand had been drawn into a full moon, and the arrow shining with cold light was aimed at the eagle that was flying lower and lower. It was only a dozen feet from the ground and almost parallel to the ground, but it never let go.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan whispered.
Seeing that the eagle was already close in front of him, he was about to hit them directly.
Zhu Feng remained motionless.
Nan Yan's expression became flustered. A fierce bird of this size, even if it didn't count its iron hook-like sharp mouth and claws, just hit it like this, I'm afraid it would kill people.
Why didn't Zhu Feng release his arrows?
Seeing the eagle getting closer and closer, less than a dozen feet away from them, at the speed of its dive, it was about to hit in the blink of an eye.
"emperor--!"
Nan Yan exclaimed again.
Just in her exclamation, a gust of wind swept over her head. She looked up and saw that the eagle brushed the top of their heads and swept past!
However, Zhu Feng still did not release an arrow.
what happened? !
Nan Yan was shocked, and turned his head together with him to look, only to see the big eagle swooping to the ground, its hook-like claws slammed into the yellow ground, and heard a scream of "squeak". Look, a gray-yellow hare was caught by it and lifted it abruptly.
"Oh!"
Nan Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
It turned out that the eagle was hunting!
The rabbit's grayish-yellow coat completely blended with the color of the surrounding withered grass. They didn't find it, but they didn't expect that this big eagle flying on the sky could actually be seen, and it was hit with a hit!
impressive!
Nan Yan was surprised, with a little joy, and looked up, the rabbit was hung in the air, still fluttering, I saw the big eagle's two claws pinching it and twisting it directly. The gray rabbit twisted into a twist, and immediately stopped moving.
Nan Yan couldn't help sighing, "It's too powerful."
When I looked back, Zhu Feng's hand holding the bow was also put down, and a pair of piercing eyes stared at the big eagle that had flew away for nine days.
Nanyan Road: "The emperor... why don't you shoot it?"
Zhu Feng said: "Let's take a look."
"what?"
"go."
He didn't explain, holding the bow and arrow in one hand and the rein in the other, he rode the horse and galloped in the direction that the big eagle flew. Nan Yan also hurried his horse to follow.
After a while, they ran under the mountain.
Looking up, there was a huge nest on a stone platform halfway up the mountain. The eagle hovered twice before landing with the rabbit.
Then they heard a strange, twittering sound.
South flue: "That is—"
Zhu Feng said: "It is raising children."
"what!"
Nan Yan immediately understood, and said: "No wonder it just caught the rabbit and didn't eat it immediately, because it was to bring it back for his children to eat."
Zhu Feng took another step forward.
But at this moment, he felt his arm sink, and when he looked back, it was Nan Yan who was holding his sleeve.
"Ok?"
Nan Yan whispered: "The emperor, don't shoot."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "What? Just now, but you want to see if I can shoot that eagle."
Nan Yan whispered: "You don't catch it, but you don't shoot it."
