After eating, it's time to get to work.

The goal of one man, one eagle, and one lynx is very clear: the reindeer herd deep in the forest.

The Golden Eagle, acting as the scout, immediately takes to the sky.

With a high-altitude view, it locks onto the distant reindeer herd.

By constantly adjusting its flight path, it guides Chen Wen and the lynx closer.

With the Golden Eagle around, what used to be a difficult hunt becomes very simple.

Before long, Chen Wen and the lynx find the reindeer herd.

North American reindeer, being herbivores, are most notable for their sense of smell.

Chen Wen knows this and has taken precautions in advance.

The pine needles covering the mountains and fields are Chen Wen's best scent-masking spray.

Smelling the scent of pine on himself, Chen Wen feels like he's a walking pine tree.

If a squirrel were to nest on his head, he'd look even more like one.

"Hunting North American reindeer depends on both of us."

Chen Wen points to the lynx and says, "This creature is large, lives in herds, and has antlers, making it a very troublesome opponent."

The lynx nods; it's well aware of this fact.

Some lynxes, when food is scarce, choose to hunt North American reindeer.

Some can succeed, but most are taught a harsh lesson by the North American reindeer's coral-like antlers.

Then they run away with their tails between their legs.

The lynx has been driven away like this once before.

Staring at the deer herd, it asks, "How do we make our move?"

Chen Wen says, "No rush. My presence will make the North American reindeer wary and flee. Only by having the Golden Eagle lock onto our target from above and marking it can we commence the hunt."

"When the time comes, you and the Golden Eagle will cooperate, just like during training."

The training Chen Wen mentioned is a beast taming method he uses at camp.

He drapes deer skins over stumps and places deer heads in front of the stumps, simulating an adult white-tailed deer.

Then, Chen Wen has the Golden Eagle peck at the white-tailed deer's eyes.

The lynx is trained by Chen Wen to go for the jugular.

The lynx's teeth are very formidable, with an exposed length of about three centimeters.

It's capable of tearing the throat of its prey.

Chen Wen personally demonstrates with bear teeth how to rip the prey's throat, teaching the lynx a trick.

In this way, Chen Wen has the lynx and the Golden Eagle learn a combo technique against medium to large animals.

The Golden Eagle pecks at the eyes, causing the prey to lose vision and stumble around.

The lynx seizes the opportunity to leap onto the prey's back, tearing at the throat from the side and back, ripping the windpipe with its teeth.

The training results are quite good, but after all, it's on immobile stumps.

The combat effectiveness in real situations remains to be seen in the following cooperation.

...

Soon, the Golden Eagle returns from reconnaissance.

It roughly looks at the distribution of the reindeer herd and checks if there are suitable prey.

"There are many reindeer in this group, about twenty or so, distributed like this in the forest."

The Golden Eagle scratches long marks on the ground with its claws, representing the distribution of the reindeer herd.

"There aren't many young reindeer, and they are well protected."

Chen Wen nods, "The young reindeer are not within our hunting range. Our target is those adult big reindeer. Did you notice any that are injured?"

"Yes!"

The Golden Eagle confidently says, "There's an adult reindeer with a broken antler, and it limps on its hind leg, probably due to a severe past injury."

"Are you sure it's broken, not shed?"

Chen Wen asks another question.

In this season, North American reindeer, after the breeding season, gradually shed their large antlers.

The Golden Eagle doesn't quite understand the difference between shedding and breaking.

Chen Wen picks up a branch and uses it to illustrate the difference.

Now the Golden Eagle understands, "It's broken, not shed."

"Then that's the one."

Chen Wen makes a decision.

This reindeer, with its shed antler and injured body, is still of a substantial size.

This North American reindeer is likely a failed competitor.

Chen Wen feels a certain affinity with these failed competitors.

Many of his entries are drops from losers.

"Next, let's proceed as we trained."

Chen Wen says, looking at the Golden Eagle, "Try to drive this injured reindeer out of the herd, and I will attack it with the lynx."

"Remember, you must not rush to attack it with your claws and beak."

"We need to pull this reindeer out of the herd first, then cooperate in hunting. This way, we can achieve the best results, understand?"

The Golden Eagle flaps its wings, somewhat with a bit of emotion, "Rest assured, but if I get a chance, I will attack."

"Of course, situations can change in an instant. Use your judgment, prioritize your own safety."

This made the Golden Eagle feel very comfortable.

It seems I didn't follow the wrong person!

The Golden Eagle flies off, initiating the attack.

Meanwhile, with a wave of his hand, Chen Wen sends the lynx into the shadowy Yunshan forest, where it vanishes from sight.

This creature's black fur is truly ridiculous, like natural camouflage clothing.

Chen Wen sighs.

He lacks the size advantage of the lynx and doesn't dare to fly.

He can only crouch, slowly sneaking towards the reindeer herd through sparse areas.

This way of advancing is much slower than the lynx and the Golden Eagle.

...

North American reindeer herd.

A North American reindeer, noticeably injured and with a broken antler, lags slightly behind the herd.

Its mood is obviously poor, and it frequently gets distracted while walking.

Brought into a human perspective, this is a middle-aged deer, a failure in both career and love.

Feeling down is completely understandable.

Just as this reindeer lowers its head to munch on the moss under the trees, accompanied by a gust of wind.

The Golden Eagle swoops down from the sky.

The arrival of the Golden Eagle doesn't cause too much panic within the herd.

The North American reindeer tasked with protecting the young close ranks around the calves born during the spring migration.

These calves require a few more months before they mature into adult deer.

The Golden Eagle isn't interested in those little ones.

It extends its claws, directly reaching for the failure.

The failure only realizes it's the target of the Golden Eagle after its talons strike.

It lets out a cry of unwillingness, echoing like an air raid siren.

Yet, the sound is filled with a sense of desolation.

Upon hearing this sound, Chen Wen knows the Golden Eagle has made its move.

He quickens his crawling speed.

The lynx not only hears the reindeer's cries but also the Golden Eagle's sound.

It accelerates through the shrubs.

Soon, the Golden Eagle and reindeer appear before the lynx.

By this time, the Golden Eagle has already driven this reindeer to an outer part of the herd.

Other reindeer are continuously letting out cries, attempting to drive the Golden Eagle away.

But the Golden Eagle is shrewd.

It skillfully evades the movements of the reindeer and continuously leaves scratch marks on the back of the failure with its claws.

The failure tries to flee but can't escape.

Its leg injury is severe; it can only run swiftly for a short time.

And that's reserved for life-threatening situations.

Currently, the Golden Eagle's attack isn't forcing the reindeer into a sprint.

All it can do is cry out, trying to fend off the Golden Eagle with its antlers.

While being maneuvered out of the herd by the Golden Eagle, it shifts to the side.

The lynx observes the reindeer's direction heading roughly towards its position.

It glances at the towering Yunshan beside it and suddenly hatches a plan.

The lynx extends its claws, quickly and effortlessly ascending to the top of the Yunshan tree.

It begins its watch.

Once the failure gets driven over, the lynx can drop down immediately.

Grasping the reindeer, it would fiercely tear at its throat.

The plan is perfect.

However, the more perfect the plan, the more likely it is for unexpected events to occur.

Under the Golden Eagle's continued harassment, the leader of the herd can't remain idle.

An incredibly robust reindeer navigates around from the front.

It is clever, not showing any abnormalities before reaching the Golden Eagle's vicinity.

This allows both the Golden Eagle and the lynx to overlook its presence, focusing their attention on the failed reindeer.

This is also a common weakness among animals.

They concentrate too much on their current target, leading them to neglect the surrounding environment.

This negligence often doesn't matter much.

But when the opponent is prey much larger in size and with the capability to kill them,

Such negligence becomes exceptionally dangerous.

Just as the Golden Eagle is about to strike again, aiming for the North American reindeer's eyes.

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurs!
