Chapter 49 Hunting Skills Arranging Traps
"If you want to catch prey in this deep mountain and old forest, the most important thing is to identify the beast's path."

Said Niu Yuan and pointed to the front, "For example, this is a beast road."

"Oh?" Zhao Ya looked carefully in the direction Niu Yuan pointed, but found nothing except the lush forest.

As if noticing Zhao Ya's doubts, Niu Yuan smiled slightly, and then bent down to brush away the grass on the ground.

"Look, here are the footprints of animals. It seems that the size should not be big."

As he spoke, Niu Yuan picked up another piece of feces and rubbed it with his fingers.

"The feces are still fresh, no more than a day old at most."

Then Niu Yuan explained to Zhao Ya the secret of finding the beast road in detail.

Hearing these experiences, Zhao Ya suddenly felt that the rescue was worthwhile.

After all, this kind of hunting experience accumulated over a long period of time is extremely valuable and cannot be bought with money.

So Zhao Ya listened very carefully, and would ask questions from time to time.

After Zhao Ya understood everything, Niu Yuan went on to say: "Finding the beast's path is just the beginning. If you want to catch the prey, you need a few more things."

"what?"

"First of all, it is the materials for laying traps, and then it is a reliable bow and arrow."

"Setting traps is a very deep knowledge. Even I only know a little bit of superficial knowledge. I heard that some old hunters who have been hunting in the deep mountains for many years can use old vines and other ready-made materials to set traps, but I am not that deep. the way."

"Because things like vines and branches can be used to catch small prey such as pheasants and hares, but once they encounter large prey, it becomes a joke, so it is best to use special materials to make them."

"The first is the iron wire, pig wire is not good, the iron wire that needs to be pulled out of wrought iron, the more flexible the better, and then the iron teeth..."

Zhao Ya took out a piece of paper and wrote down all the materials needed, and then Niu Yuan demonstrated it several times on the spot to confirm that Zhao Ya had learned it all, and then he said.

"Then there is a more reliable bow and arrow. It doesn't need to be too big or heavy, because when hunting big prey, bows and arrows are not used to kill with one blow. The physical strength of the prey."

"However, the three people you killed just now should have bows and arrows on them, and you can use them directly."

After talking about this, Niu Yuan looked at Zhao Ya very seriously.

"My friend, I don't know what kind of prey you want to hunt in this deep mountain, but remember one thing, this is a real lawless place, and the real danger is often not the wild beasts, but the people."

"Also, you must have enough patience, and you must not act hastily. When you encounter an overly powerful beast, or even a strange beast, you should retreat. After all, only life is the most important thing."

Zhao Ya nodded to show that he had made a note of it.

Then Niu Yuan took out a skinning knife and came to the corpse of the giant deer, and began to peel the skin and take out the meat.

His movements can be described as extremely nimble, the whole deerskin was taken off, and the valuable meat was not wasted at all.

Zhao Ya watched from the sidelines, nodding secretly in his heart.

Even if he is allowed to do it, it is impossible to do as well as Niu Yuan.

No wonder it is said that the old hunters are all masters with knives.

After Niu Yuan finished his work, he put all the harvest into his backpack and punched Zhao Ya.

"Friends, there will be a period later!"

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the jungle.

The next step is the favorite part of touching the corpse.

The three of them didn't have much money, but Zhao Ya found a lot of useful things.

Wrought iron wire, iron teeth, noose rope soaked in sesame oil, fine net...

Basically, they are all the materials needed to arrange traps.

Other than that, it's a bow and arrow.

This kind of hunting bow used in the mountains is very different from ordinary bows and arrows.

First of all, the hunting bow is very small, and the bow and arrow used are also specially made. The arrow is in the shape of a cross, and there are protruding blades on all sides, which are extremely sharp.

Zhao Ya packed up all the harvest, ignored the corpse on the ground, turned around and walked back.

Although no prey was caught this time, Zhao Ya felt that he had gained a lot.

After all, the hunting experience alone is worth a lot.

By the time we returned to Dancing Elephant City, it was already completely dark.

Zhao Ya returned home along a hidden route, Zui Er, who had been sitting in front of the stove waiting for him, felt relieved and started cooking quickly.

After dinner and homework, Zhao Ya went to bed early.

Zhao Ya didn't go out the next day, but started to organize his equipment according to what Niu Yuan said.

The things they found from the three of them were very comprehensive. Except for some consumables, everything needed to set up the trap was unexpectedly complete.

In addition, Zhao Ya practiced bow and arrow again.

For Zhao Ya today, archery is actually very simple.

After all, after becoming a second-level martial artist, both strength and reaction speed are much stronger than ordinary people.

Soon Zhao Ya's archery skills reached the point of shooting copper coins from thirty paces away.

No further measurement.

Because what Niu Yuan said clearly, when shooting arrows in the forest, thirty steps is the limit distance.

It doesn't make sense to go any further.

However, after practicing archery for a long time, Zhao Ya found that the system did not respond.

It seems that the system does not accept repetitive training, it must be a systematic practice.

Zhao Ya tidied up all the necessary items, and went to bed early after practicing the homework that must be done every day.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Ya left the city.

Following the signpost left the day before yesterday, Zhao Ya soon arrived at the location where he met Niu Yuan.

At this time, the three corpses had long since disappeared, and apart from some torn clothes, there was a pool of dark red blood on the ground, which proved that there were three people here.

Zhao Ya was not surprised by this at all. He followed the method Niu Yuan taught him and carefully searched for the beast's path in the mountains and forests.

"No, it's very small, it should be the path that wild rabbits often walk."

After searching for a few in a row, Zhao Ya denied them all.

After all, it took so much trouble to get into the deep mountains, so it's not for hunting rabbits.

Zhao Ya's target was a large ferocious beast, it would be even better if it had been alienated.

Finally, after searching for more than an hour, Zhao Ya finally found a satisfactory beast path.

"The footprints are huge, it should be the beast path left by the blind man, and judging by the freshness of the feces, it should have been walked this morning."

Zhao Ya's spirit was lifted.

Because the medicinal material of bear bile is recorded on the blood-enriching powder.

And the stronger the bear, the more effective its gallbladder.

Zhao Ya followed the beast path all the way, finally found a suitable place, and then began to set up traps.

For a large prey like the black blind, ordinary traps will not work at all, but will make it vigilant.

Zhao Ya directly used the most powerful double-sided four-set platform trap, and thoughtfully added a sharp knife to it.

After setting up the trap, Zhao Ya explored the surroundings again, secretly noted down a few beast paths, and then went back.
