But their favorite food is still monkeys…

As Ye Feng walked, he listened carefully to the various bird calls around him…

Finally, after walking for more than twenty minutes, he heard the cry of an eagle right in front of him.

"Gurgle...gurgle..."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and quickly climbed to a high point with a wide view, gazing in the direction of the sound…

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Sure enough, at the top of a large tree about a hundred meters to his right...

A white-headed, black-bodied harpy eagle sat motionless on a branch...

It looked like she was asleep...

Ye Feng immediately took off his backpack, walked forward about twenty meters, and quickly climbed a large tree…

Upon reaching the top of the tree, they could see clearly that there was a large, obvious bird's nest under the harpy eagle's body.

And beneath it, there were two white eggs…

It's obvious that the female eagle is incubating the eggs...

"Great, I never thought I'd found their hideout..."

Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly. The hatching process of a harpy eagle is extremely long, and during this time...

Female eagles rarely move from their nests; they rely entirely on male eagles to hunt and feed them.

For Ye Feng, this was practically prey delivered right to his doorstep…

He slung the compound bow behind his back and crept slowly forward...

A 40-pound compound bow, without significant wind obstruction, has a range of approximately 100 meters.

But Ye Feng isn't that accurate. With his accuracy, he can only guarantee a high probability of killing someone within 40 meters at most.

Therefore, he must first move to within the effective firing range...

Fortunately, the female eagle had her eyes closed at the moment and seemed not to have noticed him.

Finally, after a few minutes, taking advantage of the cover of the woods, he managed to enter firing range...

However, he was currently in a pine forest, a place with dense foliage that blocked Ye Feng's view.

Damn it!

He cursed under his breath, but there was no other way... he had to climb the tree.

Ye Feng looked around and chose a spot behind the female eagle...

He quietly approached a large tree, spat on his hands, rubbed them together, and then slowly began to crawl up the tree...

He climbed for a short while and reached the top of a tree...

From here, you can clearly see the female eagle's back; at about 35 meters, it's definitely the best shooting spot…

After catching his breath, Ye Feng took a slender green blade of grass from his pocket and put it in his mouth…

He stared at the gently swaying green grass for about 30 seconds, then simply threw it away…

He then drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed, muttering to himself:

"Southeast wind, light breeze, approximately 2.2 mph. The arrow is tilted approximately twelve degrees to the upper left..."

But just as he finished reciting those words and was about to release the arrow…

Suddenly, a high-pitched eagle cry came from behind...

"Giggle..."

Ye Feng quickly turned around and looked up, only to see a harpy eagle with an arm span of at least 1.8 meters flying towards them.

Judging from its large wings, it is clearly a male eagle.

Ye Feng was startled. Could it be... that he had been exposed?

He quickly drew his bow and aimed at the male eagle.

After all, the harpy eagle's sharp beak and claws are no joke; a single scratch will surely tear the skin and flesh.

Before he could even release his arrow, the male eagle flew right past him and landed next to the female eagle.

In its paws, it still clutched a monkey covered in blood…

Ye Feng then realized that the male eagle had come to deliver food...

"Buy one get one free? Are they afraid I won't have enough arrows? What a considerate couple..."

After a soft sound, Ye Feng drew the bowstring…

Three seconds later...

"Whoosh!"

The arrow, released from the bow, made a whooshing sound as it disappeared from his hand in an instant.

The next second, the arrow pierced the back of the female eagle as she was feeding…

The female eagle struggled for several seconds, then her body stiffened, and she collapsed headfirst from the nest…

Seeing this, the male eagle was completely bewildered and hurriedly flapped its wings, flying downwards...

He looked extremely flustered…

Harpy eagles are monogamous; if either is injured, the other will do its utmost to care for it, making them a model in the biological world…

Once the male eagle disappeared from sight, Ye Feng climbed down the tree as fast as he could…

He took out another arrow and quickly went to the spot where the female eagle had fallen…

The male eagle continued to flap its wings and cry mournfully beside the female eagle, desperately trying to wake her in this way.

When it saw Ye Feng, it didn't leave. Instead, it opened its mouth wide, the fur on its neck stood on end, and it let out a piercing howl...

It was as if it was warning him, "Don't come any closer..."

Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned slightly. To be honest, he felt a pang of pity at that moment…

But in just a moment, he drew back the bowstring and aimed at the eagle…

"I'm sorry... it's survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle. I was just trying to survive... If you want to blame someone, blame those blind wild boars..."

"Whoosh!"

The arrow flew again, and the eagle fell dead... Even in its dying moments, it opened its mouth towards Ye Feng, wanting to protect its mate...

This kind of affection is something most human couples probably can't achieve.

But no matter how persistent it was, it was useless. Before long, it slowly closed its eyes...

Ye Feng pursed his lips slightly, his expression looking somewhat complicated.

He didn't consider himself a saint, but the scene before him still touched him, and a sense of pity arose in his heart.

He shook his head and murmured:

"As expected... humanity is the real scourge of nature. You could have lived a very good life..."

After a brief moment of sadness, he still went up and picked up the two eagles...

I weighed it briefly, and it's about 30 pounds...

I also checked the feathers; they were soft yet resilient, light yet substantial…

It's the perfect material for making tail fins...

He took the arrows, picked up the two eagles, and returned to the starting point, stuffing them into his backpack.

He made a fortune today; not only could he change his diet, but he also gathered all the ingredients to make arrows…

Once all the arrows are made, he can start killing without any worries...

Wild boars, jaguars, caimans... under the compound bow, they're all just plates of game...

Thinking of this, Ye Feng's eyebrows furrowed again, because he recalled the crocodile that had tried to steal his backpack on his first day here...

An idea inexplicably popped into his mind...

"Bear Grylls seems to have said that crocodile tail meat is very delicious... I wonder if it's true?"

"Ha...why don't you try it yourself and see?"

After thinking it over, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and prepared to leave…

But he hadn't gone far when he stopped again and looked back towards the direction of the female eagle's lair...

After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately turned back…

Ye Feng thought to himself, "If no one hatches this egg, it will eventually become food for other predators..."

It doesn't make sense to give away the fruits of your hard work from half a day to other animals...

I've never tasted a carved egg before...
