Chapter 2337: Chapter 2334: Prey (Part 2)

“Ah…” Sally was startled and was about to scream. David quickly reached out to cover her mouth, but her eyes were wide open, fully displaying her shock.

After a while, David let go of her, and due to holding her breath, she took deep breaths, her emotions unable to stabilize for a long time. The others weren’t much better off, as everyone’s breathing was unsteady, their eyes shimmering with shock and excitement.

Sally finally took a deep breath and slightly calmed down, suppressing her excitement, she said, “David, if we capture this eagle and show it off in the circle, wouldn’t that be awesome!”

David’s gaze flickered for a moment, and he lowered his voice, “You’re right, who knows what breed it is, growing to be so majestic. Making a cage and displaying it at home for a party would make everyone envious.”

“Hehe, last time I saw that so-called Prince with a lion, it was impressive, but it’s nowhere near as amazing as this white eagle.” The blond foreign man’s eyes were glowing.

“Such a large eagle, capturing it alive won’t be easy, right?” another companion reminded quietly.

“The harder to capture, the more it proves its prowess, so we must come up with a strategy to capture it in one go, without giving it a chance to escape. If it flies into the sky, capturing it will be difficult,” David said softly, while starting to think.

“David, I have a plan…” Sally suddenly showed a proud smile and said quietly, “The difficulty in capturing the white eagle is because it can fly. Soon we’ll all make a move, aiming at its feet and the roots of its wings, simultaneously shoot crossbow arrows to pin down its wings and feet. Then it won’t be able to fly.”

The others’ eyes lit up, and the blond man gave a thumbs-up: “That’s a good strategy, a grounded eagle can’t win against a fierce dog.”

David sneered, displeased, “Your Mandarin has improved, but the last phrase was used incorrectly. Yes, it is a majestic eagle, but we’re not fierce dogs, we should be called hunters.”

“Right, hunters…” the blond man quickly corrected.

“Listen to my command, Carter and I have the best accuracy and will be responsible for shooting its wings. Sally, you and Xiao Lezi are responsible for shooting its feet. If the four of us miss, the others will follow up, we must take it down in one go,” David said in a hushed tone.

Xiao Lezi swallowed saliva and asked, “David, what if we kill it by shooting? It’s no fun if it’s dead.”

“Nonsense, even if you die, it won’t die that easily, such a big eagle isn’t easy to kill,” David said under his breath, and Xiao Lezi immediately fell silent.

David slowly raised the hand crossbow, and the others also started to aim. David whispered, “Three, two, one, shoot!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Four black crossbow arrows shot swiftly, targeting the white eagle’s wings and feet. The arrows were fast, reaching the white eagle’s rear in the blink of an eye, seemingly about to hit, and David and the others were already showing victory smiles.

Suddenly, their eyes blurred, followed by a shocking scene as the white eagle quickly turned around, and with a forceful sweep of its wings, the four arrows fell to the ground, leaving the white eagle unharmed.

David was momentarily stunned and couldn’t bother hiding anymore, he shouted, “What are you waiting for, follow up!”

The other two snapped back to reality, quickly released crossbow arrows; whoosh whoosh, two arrows shot out, and once again the white eagle swept its wings, easily knocking them down.

Then they noticed that the white eagle had looked over, its amber eyes glinting coldly.

“Da… David, it’s staring at us, it’s so fierce, should we retreat…” Xiao Lezi was somewhat afraid and said.

“Retreat my ass, attack it!” David shouted, jumped out of the dirt mound, immediately loaded arrows into his hand crossbow, and the others quickly followed suit, releasing six arrows again.

Coo…

The white eagle let out a cry, flapped its wings, and soared into the air. The tree shook violently from its pressure, rustling loudly. The wind from its wings scattered the arrows helter-skelter, unable even to come close, they powerlessly fell to the ground.

“It’s… it’s swooping down on us, run…” Xiao Lezi fearfully shouted, and David’s group was also frightened by the white eagle’s imposing manner, losing the heart to continue shooting and turned to run.

The white eagle flew into the sky, retracted its wings, and dove down, showing the posture of an eagle hunting, as the blond man took out a tubular object while running, randomly pointing it towards the rear and pulled the trigger.

Bang, a loud noise shook the ears of the others, David turned his head and cursed, “Carter, what the hell are you doing…”

“Hehe, just messing around with an air rifle, I have a gun license, I’m used to playing with it overseas.” The blond man Carter said indifferently.

“Bullshit gun license, that foreign stuff is ineffective here,” David cursed.

“Eh, the white eagle seems to be startled, it’s not swooping down,” Xiao Lezi said strangely.

They looked back and indeed the white eagle hadn’t chased but was hovering in the sky, not leaving.

David frowned, solemnly said, “The white eagle probably hasn’t seen an air rifle, once it understands, it’ll attack us. There’s a mountain cave ahead, the white eagle can’t enter, we’ll hide there, we can’t outrun it.”

Meanwhile, Lin Tian was standing on the mountain with Wang Wanxi and the others, observing the surrounding terrain when Lin Tian suddenly lifted his head and glanced into the deep mountains.

“Gunshots, why are people hunting here!” Lin Tian frowned.

Wang Wanxi, Ghost, Ning Luoxi, and Yan Lingling all heard it. Lin Tian turned to Wang Wanxi: “Aunt Wang, Luoxi and I will go check, to avoid accidents, please take care of Xuanxuan.”

Without waiting for Wang Wanxi’s reply, Lin Tian had already jumped out and swiftly departed, followed by Ning Luoxi.

“Brother Lin Tian, I’m going too.” Yan Lingling exclaimed, and her figure rapidly dashed forward, quickly surpassing Ning Luoxi, catching up to Lin Tian.

Ning Luoxi felt the wind pass by, then saw Yan Lingling’s rapidly moving figure, inwardly shocked, a little loli’s speed surpassing hers and catching up with Lin Tian!

This age, this skill… Ning Luoxi was amazed, she was seeing such a young expert for the first time, even younger than Lin Tian. However, she didn’t immediately question, the situation at hand was more pressing, if someone did attack Little Snow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Little Snow came from distant Kunlun, unfamiliar with modern firearms, unaware of their danger, if she didn’t evade, she might indeed be hunted. An Innate Expert shot in the heart or head could still die, Little Snow included.

There’s another possibility, if Little Snow reacts, the consequences for those shooting could be dire.

The three moved with extreme speed, the rocks couldn’t slow them down, following the sound, Lin Tian quickly arrived at a forested area.

Coo coo…

A familiar cry came, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, although, he also discerned Little Snow’s cry carried irritation.

The three entered the forest and saw Little Snow’s white silhouette from afar, she was clawing at a rock wall, leaving deep marks in the hard rock, pebbles falling down with a clatter.

At the same time, panicked screams emanated from inside the rock wall.
