Chapter 833: Chapter 816: Encounter with the Arctic Fox
The fully dosticated falcon is very quiet when not hunting. Yesterday, all day long, Little White perched on a pine falcon perch made by Yue Feng, watching Yue Feng fish. But today, it seems to have discovered sothing, its actions were slightly abnormal.
Yue Feng noticed that Little White was looking out, so he stopped talking and concentrated on listening quietly.
Crunch crunch!
Soon, the sound of an unknown creature stepping on snow ca from outside.
Hearing this commotion, Yue Feng was startled, he grabbed the pine stick and brought the drone out from the snow house.
The next second, the cara image shifted. Less than three ters away from the snow house, a pure white figure seed frightened and turned to flee.
The drone’s cara gave this creature a close-up, and the livestream’s public chat imdiately erupted.
Fox, the creature fleeing with a fish head in its mouth is actually a pure white fox!
Yue Feng also saw the situation outside through the cara.
“Oh my, folks, we’re pretty lucky, look at what we’ve found, it’s an Arctic Fox!” Yue Feng controlled the drone to co out of the snow house and then ascended, giving the white fox that had already run dozens of ters away a frontal close-up.
This white fox seed very interested in the fish not far from the door, standing there reluctantly, looking like it did not want to leave.
It was covered in white fur, had sharp ears and a delicate mouth, coupled with very beautiful eyes, it was very attractive.
“Wow, a white fox! There really is a white fox, so beautiful!”
“So beautiful, it looks a bit like my Samoyed, but more slender!”
“Could Yue Feng have a romantic debt from a previous life, and the white fox has co to repay him!”
“Yue Feng, be careful, in our area, foxes and weasels are called Immortals, they can enchant people!”
“I’m a white fox that has cultivated for a thousand years…”
“What are you thinking, everyone? It’s a prey delivered to the door, let Little White go out, this thing looks not much bigger than the wolverine last ti, should be able to catch it! A fox fur collar, wouldn’t that be nice?”
“Upstairs 1, almost forgot about Little White! Can Yue Feng catch it?”
A group of warlike chatters started to have normal focus points, but after soone suggested letting Yue Feng release the falcon to catch it, they imdiately went along noisily.
Letting Little White hunt an immature wolverine had already surpassed Yue Feng’s expectations. It was originally a surprise after the Pallas’s Sea Eagle released to hunt swans.
Yue Feng observed and condoned only after realizing that the wolverine posed no threat to Little White.
However, a wolverine and a fox are not of the sa category. Don’t be fooled by this Arctic Fox with its full-body white fur looking beautiful like an Immortal, their agility is stronger than that of wolverines. If Little White makes a mistake during its diving attack, getting injured or even killed, Yue Feng’s reputation as an Eagle Hunter would be ruined.
Yue Feng shook his head: “A falcon of Little White’s size can’t hunt a mature Arctic Fox; everyone should stop making noise!”
Arctic Foxes are highly intelligent animals, with primary food sources being snow hares and mice. Their agility is far stronger than that of wolverines. Though their weight is similar, the threat they pose to falcons is much greater!
Moreover, Arctic Foxes in our area are protected animals, with very low population density, hunting is not allowed!”
It’s difficult enough to see one up close like this, I suggest we try and see if we can beco friends with it instead!”
“What? Beco friends with a fox? Doesn’t Yue Feng only train falcons, can he also ta beasts?”
“Beast Tar, MR. Yue Hanhan?”
“Sure, sure, if we can’t hunt it, making a friend works! Curious Yue Feng, how will you do it?”
“The white fox is so adorable, it would be nice if it can be tad!”
Yue Feng shook his head: “Everyone, don’t think too much. I’m only rudintary in eagle training, but I don’t understand beast taming. Don’t expect too much! The fox we are seeing should be mature, with strong wariness against humans, trust-building will be difficult!”
However, it looks famished, and we have plenty of fish. Maybe we can use that to establish a rapport! These little creatures are very smart, maybe there’s a chance to have close encounters!”
After Yue Feng finished, the public chat finally cald down a bit. You can’t bla the fans for having high expectations for Yue Feng; after all, his eagle training surprised everyone previously. Naturally leading to heightened anticipation.
Yue Feng used the stick to knock down the already frozen pike from the ice, brought it back into the snow house, and left the drone hovering three ters up for ongoing reconnaissance.
Although Yue Feng isn’t adept at beast taming, the basic professional characteristics from the Hunter Card give a bit of common knowledge surpassing that of ordinary people.
In making friends with animals, there are certain common tactics. Food is the key to garnering trust.
Yue Feng quickly took out a military knife and sliced the pike into segnts, each about 50 grams.
After the simple preparation, Yue Feng took two small pieces of fish and tossed them out from the snow house entrance.
Seeing Yue Feng throwing things at it, the Arctic Fox initially was afraid, retreating another ten ters. After realizing there was no follow-up, it quickly returned.
As it approached the fish chunk, its keen sense of sll soon made it realize the things thrown weren’t stones, but edible fish at.
Continuous snowfall and cold winds made it difficult for wild animals living on the tundra to find food. This little fox, already famished, lingered here for a fish.
Upon finding the fish chunk, regardless of the bones and icy texture, it chewed ravenously, quickly consuming it.
The little creature licked its lips, seeming still unsatisfied.
Seeing it easily eat the food, everyone beca excited again.
“It ate, it ate! It really ate! Isn’t a fox supposed to be cautious and sly? How could it dare to eat sothing given by humans so boldly?”
“Yue Feng, Yue Feng, what’s the plan next? Keep feeding it?”
“It looks dainty, but it eats without propriety; ate the fish chunk in two bites, guess it’s starving?”
Yue Feng smiled and weighed the fish chunk in his hand: “Since it’s eating, that’s a good sign. Let’s wait patiently for a while, and throw another piece later!”
“This process is actually quite simple, akin to eagle training, slowly using food to close the distance and lower its alertness! Once the little fox is no longer scared of humans, we can naturally get closer!”
Over ten minutes later, Yue Feng tossed another piece of fish at, but this ti he threw it very close, only about two ters from the entrance.
For the little fox to get the at, it needed to co close by at least four or five ters.
Seeing a new chunk thrown out, the little fox hesitated for a mont, then cautiously ran over, picked up the at chunk, and turned away.
Yue Feng grinned: “There’s hope, today we’ll feed this much, continue tomorrow. If all goes well, before we leave, we might succeed in achieving the ‘pet a fox’ milestone!”
