Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely
#92 - [First Order] Limitations of Trap Hunting
Crack… … … …
Two hours later, a frost wolf, lured by the torch, once again stepped on a hunting trap in the snow.
Unlike the previous Snow Mane, which only had its bones caught, this time the frost wolf's left forelimb was almost snapped.
Moreover, because the frost wolf sensed danger and counterattacked at too high a speed when trying to escape, a large piece of flesh was torn off its entire left leg, and almost all the bones of the leg were exposed, making the scene quite horrifying.
Although the frost wolf was agile and reacted even faster than the previous Snow Mane, choosing to escape early, it was still killed on the spot and its essence blood was taken by Xia Chuan due to the super pulling and restraining force of the hunting trap, coupled with Xia Hong's meticulous advance deployment.
Luo Yuan and the others looked at the corpse of the frost wolf weighing over a thousand pounds on the ground, and then looked at the sky, realizing that only half a night had passed, and they had already harvested two prey, the expressions on their faces were already a little numb.
Hunting, when did it become so easy?
It's not that they didn't contribute, but compared to Luo Ming taking them out hunting before, the danger encountered tonight was almost negligible.
Whether it was the previous Snow Mane or the frost wolf in front of them at this moment, they were all lured by torches to step on hunting traps, their legs were injured, and their strength was reduced by thirty to forty percent. After a round of arrow rain, they would be half-skinned even if they didn't die. Finally, Xia Hong took the five of them, and the prey was easily obtained.
Moreover, when hunting the second frost wolf, Xia Chuan's white silk thread was used to replace the rope. The frost wolf pulled desperately, but the white thread never broke. From a time perspective, hunting it was even easier than hunting the Snow Mane.
"With this hunting trap, I will personally lead the team to hunt low-level cold beasts. In the future, it should be no problem. It just depends on when we can clear out the low-level cold beasts on the periphery!"
After two consecutive hunts, Xia Hong had already confirmed the effectiveness and power of the hunting trap he had personally created, and he was naturally more confident in future hunts.
"Chief, can this hunting trap be mass-produced?"
Luo Yuan's question immediately made everyone's expressions brighten.
However, Xia Hong shook his head, unhurriedly removed the hunting trap from the frost wolf's leg, and then said: "The main body and spring of this hunting trap are made of ten-tempered iron that I forged. Iron ore alone cost twelve hundred pounds. It's not the same as the ordinary ironware previously forged by Rogge Camp. According to the current iron ore reserves and mining capacity of the camp, mass production is impossible…"
Speaking of this, Xia Hong paused and continued: "Even if we can forge two or three more now, we won't be able to use them."
When everyone heard this, they pondered for a moment and immediately nodded.
Recalling the hunting process just now, although the hunting trap played a big role, the more important thing was the frontal encirclement of these people. More precisely, the fatal injuries of the two prey were almost all caused by Xia Hong.
So, strictly speaking, the hunting trap can hurt cold beasts, but it is impossible to rely on it to sit back and enjoy the rewards. Without advance deployment and the addition of someone with Digging Realm strength, the final result is likely to be that the cold beast is seriously injured, and then escapes with the hunting trap.
If that's the case, then both the person and the money will be lost.
"Therefore, if any of you take the lead in breaking through to the Digging Realm, as long as you rely on the hunting trap, the camp can completely form a second hunting team. At that time, the hunting ability will be greatly improved, and the harvest of prey will inevitably reach a higher level."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
They had all witnessed tonight's experiment.
One Digging Realm, one hunting trap, plus a group of Lumbering Realm cultivators, not to mention encountering unfamiliar types of cold beasts, at least tonight has proven that the Snow Mane and Frost Wolf, as long as they are careful, can almost be hunted at will.
According to the hunting progress up to now tonight, not to mention that the meat distribution rules Xia Hong mentioned earlier can be successfully implemented, the cold beast meat may even overflow.
Luo Yuan and the other eight looked at each other, and then looked at Xia Hong. The suspicion in their eyes had completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only admiration and respect.
That seemingly Arabian Nights meat distribution rule.
It turned out that he was not bragging.
This newly appointed chief, Xia Hong.
Is really, can do it!
"Next, it depends on how many low-level cold beasts there are on the periphery, and whether our camp's hunting speed is faster or their spread outward is faster. I want to see if these cold beasts can really be killed endlessly."
Xia Hong naturally did not understand the change in mentality of Luo Yuan and the others. He turned his gaze to the depths of Redwood Ridge, and his face became a little excited.
Tonight's two hunts can also be regarded as proof that from now on, Daxia Camp has truly stood on top of the Snow Mane and Frost Wolf in the food chain.
As long as there are no problems with hunting, just focus on hunting the several familiar cold beasts, and there will basically be no problems in the future.
He is even considering now whether there will be enough low-level cold beasts in the future.
The trees in Redwood Ridge are thick, and the cold beasts are also quite large. Naturally, not many cold beasts can occupy the 500-meter periphery. For example, tonight, they searched once when they first came and confirmed that there were only seven.
But this does not mean that there are only these seven on the periphery, it's just that these seven occupied it tonight. Xia Hong doesn't know much about the living habits of cold beasts, but from the several types he has come into contact with so far, at least there is no such thing as settling down.
Logically speaking, the ones that have mixed into the periphery must be the weakest batch of cold beasts, but I just don't know how many of these weaker ones there are in Redwood Ridge.
According to the current meat distribution rules implemented by Daxia, at least fifteen heads are required per month.
It shouldn't be a problem in the short term, but if this continues for a long time, there will definitely be much fewer in this 500-meter periphery. If there is no way by then, we can only expand the hunting range.
"Chief, two heads should be enough, let's end it here tonight?"
Hearing Luo Yuan's question, Xia Hong shook his head.
"Kill that Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep too."
Everyone swallowed when they heard this, even Xia Chuan was no exception.
The newest novels are all here!
Two cold beasts in one night was already an Arabian Nights to them, and Xia Hong actually wanted to deal with the third one.
It's not that they felt it was unrealistic. Having personally experienced the process of hunting two heads, they didn't feel that this third Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep was too difficult.
The problem is, one night, hunting three cold beasts.
This was indeed a bit crazy and incredible to them.
If the hunting process of the previous two cold beasts was somewhat troublesome, then the hunting process of this last Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep can definitely be described as simple.
The Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep's attack method was extremely simple, which was to charge straight. Although its strength was much stronger than the Snow Mane, its strength was also weakened too much after stepping on the hunting trap. Facing the siege of Xia Hong and others, it still had to choose to flee.
Knowing the horror of the golden eyes on its back, Xia Hong and others naturally would not give it a chance and deliberately avoided them.
And coincidentally, the golden eyes growing on its back became the best targets for the seven archers, such as Xu Ning and Qiu Peng, who were climbing on the trees.
It is worth mentioning that compared to Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and even Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and the other eight's hunting skills were obviously better. This could not only be seen from the Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep, but also from the previous Snow Mane and Frost Wolf.
Relying on the black knife and white thread, Xia Chuan could still compete with Luo Yuan and the others, but the archery level of Qiu Peng and Xu Ning was obviously not on the same level as Luo Yuan and the others.
The two also clearly noticed this, and although there was some frustration on their faces, there was obviously more of an unconvinced mentality. This could be seen from the way they kept asking about archery skills and constantly practicing in their spare time on the way back.
Xia Hong was happy to see this kind of secret competition.
Taking all three prey with them, just as they were preparing to return to the camp, the temperature began to drop significantly, knowing that it was almost dawn, everyone quickened their pace back to the camp.
Coincidentally, just as everyone returned to the entrance of the mountain valley, they ran into Huang Yong and Hong Gang, who were leading the lumbering team to move wood inside.
"Chief, how is it, did you catch any prey… … …"
Seeing Xia Hong, the leader, Hong Gang bowed and greeted him. He was about to ask about the hunting harvest, but before he could finish his question, he looked up and saw the three behemoths that Xu Ning, Qiu Peng, and Zou Yuankai were carrying on their backs.
His expression instantly became exactly the same as Hong Gang's.
"Greetings, Chief, this… … …"
Huang Yong also came over. He was originally wondering why Hong Gang suddenly stopped, but when he looked up and saw the three behemoths that Xu Ning, Qiu Peng, and Zou Yuankai were carrying on their backs.
His expression instantly became exactly the same as Hong Gang's.
