: The Foul-Smelling Golden Eagle's Nest
Chapter 647: The Foul-Smelling Golden Eagle's Nest
It was not until Wang An had walked seven or eight meters and left the top of the mountain and started walking down the slope to the north that he encountered a slightly thicker tree.
However, in Wang An's opinion, this tree, which was only as thick as a baby's arm, would hardly be able to withstand his weight.
So Wang An found a small tree a little further away and tied two ropes to the roots of the two trees.
Immediately afterwards, Wang An began to pull the ropes desperately, of course, one by one, not two at a time.
At this time, we must not be afraid of the tree being pulled off or uprooted.
Because if the tree breaks at this time, he can replace it with another one in time. But if the tree breaks while Wang An is hanging in the air, he will be completely finished.
It has to be said that although the trees growing on Shilazi Mountain look small, their roots are quite developed and they are quite old.
The toughness of the tree trunk is much stronger than that of elm and hickory.
But such a tree trunk is useless, mainly because it is too short and the thickness difference between the top and the bottom is too big.
Therefore, despite Wang An's shaking and pulling, the two small trees were fine and could be said to be unusually strong.
After testing the small tree, Wang An checked the wear of the ropes again, and finally tied the other ends of the two ropes around his waist.
After glancing around and finding nothing unusual around him, Wang An grabbed a rope with each hand, wrapped it around his hand, and then walked down step by step.
The reason why Wang An wanted to take a quick look was, on the one hand, because it was Wang An's own habit, and on the other hand, because Wang An was worried that when he was in the air, he would be attacked by an adult golden eagle returning midway.
You know, although the golden eagle egg and the smallest golden eagle cub have been abandoned by the adult golden eagles, the adult golden eagles will still fight to the death if there is an invasion of alien species.
The reason why Wang An was walking towards the golden eagle's nest is that during the descent, Wang An's body was almost at a 45-degree angle to the mountain wall, and this posture is actually a normal climbing posture.
In short, whether you are climbing up or falling down, this posture is the most energy-saving for people, because the power of the feet is also at work.
Finally, the reason why you only make one circle is because you can't hold the rope if you don't make more circles. If you make more circles, the circle will not move with your hand.
To be honest, Wang An, who was walking down, didn't dare to look back, mainly because the distance was so high that it made him dizzy.
Wang Li, who was standing below, was so nervous that his brain was not working properly.
At this moment, Wang Li was probably afraid that Wang An would fall at any time, so he subconsciously opened his arms, as if he was ready to catch Wang An at any time.
We have to admit that when people are extremely nervous, their minds become confused. Not to mention whether Wang Li could catch Wang An if he fell down, even if he could, Wang Li would probably be crushed to death by Wang An and would have to go to see the Buddha on the spot.
Fortunately, the distance was only a few meters, and Wang An arrived at the position quickly.
It was not until Wang An's feet stepped on the edge of the golden eagle's nest that he felt a little relieved.
To be honest, this situation where the whole person is suspended in the air, with the air dozens of meters below, and the whole person only relying on two ropes for support, is really a test of one's willpower.
Fortunately, Wang An’s experiences in his previous life had made his willpower very strong, otherwise, Wang An would never dare to do this.
The place where the golden eagle's nest is located is a mountain ridge. It is unknown how it was formed. However, the area of this mountain ridge is quite large, about four or five square meters.
Of course, this may also have a lot to do with the size of the golden eagle.
After all, an adult golden eagle normally weighs more than twelve or thirteen pounds, and if it spreads its wings, it is two or three meters wide, so it simply cannot move freely in small places.
As soon as Wang An stopped, he did not dare to delay and took off the small basket hanging on his waist. This small basket was the one that Wang An used to hold eagle eggs before.
It has to be said that any bird of prey may have a sense of territory.
Because just as Wang An reached his hand into the golden eagle's nest, two big golden eagle cubs rushed towards Wang An's hand with all their might.
Only the smallest golden eagle cub, probably because it was too hungry, did not move at all. It did not even react when Wang An grabbed it with his hands.
Moreover, the body temperature of this little golden eagle was pitifully low, and its whole body was cold. If Wang An's hands had not been able to clearly feel its belly rising and falling, Wang An would have thought it was dead.
No matter what, whether it was for the purpose of raising the golden eagle or because he felt sorry for the little golden eagle and wanted to keep it alive, Wang An put the little golden eagle, which was only breathing its last breath, into the small basket without hesitation.
Of course, the golden eagle eggs could not be missed and were also installed in a small basket by Wang.
After putting the lid on, Wang An hung the small basket back on his waist.
The mission was completed, and Wang An didn't want to stay here at all. The main reason was that the environment of the golden eagle's nest was really unbearable.
Animal bones and furs can be seen everywhere, and bird feathers are hanging everywhere.
There were also many small pieces of mountain rat claws, squirrel claws, fox claws, rabbit claws, roe deer hooves, sheep hooves, etc., as well as many unknown bird claws.
Of course, there are also a lot of small pieces of snake skin, snake bones, half fish brains, fish bones, etc.
It can be seen that this golden eagle's nest is really old, otherwise there would definitely not be so many small animal fragments.
But these things, without exception, all emit a stench, a particularly stinky, foul stench.
It was countless times more smelly than the eagle's nest that Wang An had dug out before, and the stench was even stronger than that of a manure pit.
Wang An was very doubtful as to how this family of golden eagles could endure such a stench.
Enduring the disgusting stench, Wang An tied the two ropes together and climbed up.
To be honest, if the rope was not long enough, Wang An would have gone down instead of climbing up. The main reason was that he felt more at ease going down, while going up was not only strenuous, but his fragile heart would have to go through the test all over again.
When Wang An came down the eastern slope cautiously and clumsily, Wang Li was already waiting there.
As soon as Wang An reached the bottom of the mountain, Wang Li couldn't help asking:
"How's it going, fourth brother? Did you get the old eagle?"
Upon hearing this, Wang An said with a smile on his face:
"What do you mean? Is there anything your fourth brother can't do?"
