Reincarnated Bamboo Rat Starts Extreme Survival

Chapter 3 Traps are a Good Thing

The trap is a small hunting trick that Bell came up with after some thinking.

When primitive humans hunted, they usually hunted, drove large prey into traps, and directly trapped those creatures that were far stronger than themselves.

Ancient humans could rely on traps to hunt giant beasts, so Bell can also use traps to defeat the strong with the weak.

Bell, who had figured it out, went straight to work. He wandered around in this extremely limited safe area, engraving the surrounding terrain into his mind.

The mimetic snake's territory is not large, but from the perspective of small animals, there is something unique here.

As an arboreal creature, there are a large number of insects and small creatures on the ground that the mimic snake does not often touch. Among them are several small animals with grades. It is not known whether these guys are deliberately reserved for the mimic snake.

"The first target is you."

Not thinking too much about what was there, Bell twisted his white body, and quietly ran to a small dirt bag in the leeward direction, looking down at the lizard hidden in the dead leaves below.

【Echinoderm Lizard】

Level: lv.1 (0/10)

Health: 2
This is a lizard about the size of Bell. As the lowest-level small animal, the echinoderm lizard does not have the ability to camouflage attacks like a mimic snake. Its only way of self-protection is its skin with sharp scales.

In nature, there are many animals that can kill it casually, but most of them don't bother to take care of it.

After all, this thing has no flesh on its body, its body is slender and shriveled, and it is covered with thorns.

Not to mention that eating it will not replenish much energy, and it is easy to be scratched by the thorns on its body.

Wild animals are the most taboo to be injured. After being injured, they may be infected. The reduction in hunting ability caused by infection is tantamount to a death sentence for wild animals.

The echinoderm uses this trait to allow it to survive in its ecological niche.

But it is impossible for the echinoderm lizard to figure out why after it has evolved to this level, there will still be animals of the same size as hunting targets.

Bell, who had been watching him, quietly prepared an attack on the echinoderm lizard.

He first identified a slime-spitting bug on bamboo that, when threatened, sprays large amounts of slime in a fixed direction to repel predators.

But for Bell, who has human intelligence, it is difficult to spray these straight bugs all over his body. Instead, these mucus are a good raw material for traps.

Bell took a lot of work, collected a lot of slime, and used plant leaves to shape the slime into a trap.

"It's easier to make a rough trap than I thought."

After some tinkering, Bell, carrying the simple slime trap he made, appeared near the echinoderm lizard's lair when night fell.

It is very good for Bell to do it at this time of night.

The bamboo forest at night is very lively, and all the medium and large animals are active, which makes Bell's activities outside much more dangerous.

But at night when the temperature drops, the echinoderm lizard, a ectothermic animal, will become dull, while Bell, a warm-blooded animal, will not be affected much.

Walking all the way downwind, the biological instinct of the bamboo rat was still teaching Bell how to hide himself in the bamboo forest, so he quietly touched the hole where the echinoderm lizard hid.

Although echinoderm lizards are lizards, they are not good at digging caves because they are covered with spines. Generally, they can only hide themselves in abandoned caves of other animals.

Coincidentally, most of the caves in this bamboo forest were dug by bamboo rats.

Bell's bamboo mouse instinct directly told him the general direction of the echinoderm lizard's cave. At the same time, Bell's human intelligence quickly analyzed the activity traces of the echinoderm lizard around the cave.

'No one knows the bamboo mouse's cave better than me. There are three caves that echinoderm lizards often enter and exit. It is best to place the slime trap at these three caves. '

Put two pieces of mucus traps at the two holes with the most traces of access, and at the same time, Baer chrysalis chrysalised his body and got into the third commonly used hole.

He twisted his body and moved forward quickly, looking like a fish in water in the burrow dug by the bamboo rat.

In just a few breaths, Bell blocked the tense echinoderm lizard in the cave.

The echinoderm lizard in the cave was not ignorant of Bell's actions in the outside world before, after all, the rustling movement could not be hidden.

But with a pea-sized brain of an echinoderm lizard, it was impossible to imagine what Bell had prepared for him outside the cave.

The echinoderm lizard facing Bell tensed its limbs. It opened its big mouth to inflate its abdomen, inflated itself as much as possible, and exploded the spines all over its body. This was the echinoderm lizard's deterrent method when facing the enemy.

But Bell, who has already come here, doesn't care so much. With human wisdom, he doesn't take threats.

He turned around deftly in the cave, and on turning around, pointed his butt at the echinoderm lizard, and his feet suddenly exerted force——

"Shh!"

Bell kicked off a large piece of sand and fed the echinoderm lizard a mouthful of mud on the spot.

In fact, Bell wanted to kick the Echinoderm lizard in the face with a kick of Nine Heavens Thunder.

Unexpectedly, my limbs were short, and the expected pedals were forced to turn into blowing sand.

But no matter what the process was, the kick of these two legs still achieved the effect Bell wanted.

After being fed a mouthful of sand, the echinoderm lizard backed away, and Bell's butt kept approaching him, showing no sign of being afraid of it.

Facing such a guy of unknown origin and about the same size as himself, the echinoderm lizard slowly backed away, preparing to escape.

If it was in the daytime, it might become fierce and bite Bell's ass fiercely.

But after the body temperature drops, the slow body of the echinoderm lizard greatly reduces its aggressiveness.

The echinoderm lizard, which was slowly retreating, pulled a certain distance away from Bell, instantly spit out the air in its stomach, turned around and ran wildly.

Its speed is very fast, and its slender and powerful limbs can bring him extremely strong explosive power, which is something Bell with short legs can't envy.

Seeing the echinoderm lizard rushing out of the cave, Bell turned around leisurely and chased it out with brisk steps.

When any creature makes a choice, it will meaninglessly prefer the option it is more familiar with. The escape path of the echinoderm lizard is just as Bell expected, and it chooses the path it most often takes.

It rushed forward, and then stepped on the slime trap that Bell had laid at the entrance of the cave.

Just hearing a 'pop', the echinoderm lizard, whose forward momentum was interrupted by the mucus, collapsed, and its entire abdomen and tail were covered with mucus.

The movement was restricted, which made the echinoderm lizard extremely flustered. It struggled and twisted constantly, but instead covered its body with the surrounding sand and became heavier.

He was still running away, but his slender limbs lost their former agility.

The hopeless echinoderm lizard stared at the hole behind him in despair.

I saw the big white bamboo rat twisting its body, slowly coming out of the pupa, the expression on its face was so cheap that it flew up.

"Jie Jie Jie, you can't run anymore~"

The hunt was successfully completed. After Bell fiddled with the trapped echinoderm lizard, the words [Experience +3] appeared on his body.
