Ren found that his biological clock was very accurate and he got up at a fixed time every day, around 5:30 in the morning, within a few minutes.
Before traveling, I would often sleep until noon, and my schedule was completely different.
Maybe it's because the other world is more dangerous and not as carefree as Earth.
The first thing I do when I get up is go to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast. While eating, I go to the balcony to use my binoculars to check where the traps are.
The first three traps were not triggered and remained exactly the same as when they were set up yesterday.
The fourth trap was triggered, but it was empty. It should be that the creature that triggered the trap was too fast and escaped from the trap before being caught.
When I saw the fifth one, I was shocked. The trap was hanging in the air, and a raptor was trapped in it, motionless. I don't know if it was resting due to fatigue from struggling, or if it was dead.
Renn felt that it was standing in the net, and its neck or other joints were not pressed, so it should not die easily.
Further back, there are four other traps that are in a triggered state, and they are also empty inside. One of the animal traps is in tatters, and there seems to be animal body parts on it.
It is speculated that animals were also caught in this net, which may have been eaten by other predators at night.
It's just hung so high. What animal can pull it down? A bird of prey?
The animal that was eaten should not be large, and it couldn't be a velociraptor, because the velociraptor in front was fine hanging on it all night.
Although I had no expectations, the telescope looked at the last trap.
When he locked the trap and adjusted the focus to clearly see the triggered trap, Lane let out a cry of surprise.
Another velociraptor!
Caught two velociraptors in one night!
It feels great now!
Velociraptors have great fighting prowess and are among the most powerful predators in the forest.
With their size, two of them can easily sweep through the lairs of goblins and wild wolves.
What's more, with my own cooperation, I can secure the mining area!
They are also a good tool for pulling carts, and their strength is definitely superior to horses.
I quickly finished my breakfast, packed my equipment and set off.
Before leaving the base, I had used a telescope to observe the activity tracks of surrounding animals to ensure that dangerous creatures were avoided. Using the virtual map, there were no accidents except for encountering a few slimes.
Passing by the traps set by oneself one after another, first check the bait.
The traps and baits that were not activated have disappeared, and they must have been eaten by animals.
After a little inspection and readjustment, the bait was put out again, and Wren moved on.
Of course, the more pets, the better. When you are away, you need them to protect the base and mines to prevent strangers from destroying buildings or even stealing your property. You must also prevent monsters and animals in the forest from approaching the base.
Therefore, hunting traps will be set up all the time, and the powerful ones will be included in the team as pets. Ordinary animals are the source of food and can be killed directly or kept at home.
After resetting the fourth trap, we finally arrived near the captured velociraptor.
The Velociraptor, which had been hanging in the air and had been motionless, immediately became excited when it saw Renn suddenly appearing. It struggled desperately in the net, opened its mouth and roared, showing a ferocious posture.
"Relax~Don't be afraid~" Ren knew that the raptor couldn't understand, so he lowered his voice and comforted him softly, and then slowly approached the trap.
"Roar——!!" The raptor roared and threatened, trying to bite the trapping net with its sharp teeth.
Ren was worried that it would break free, so he quickly opened his virtual backpack, selected the pet food made from raw meat in the kitchen in advance, and threw it at it.
The pet food flew to the raptor's head, and it stuck out its mouth from the net and bit it.
Eating pet food, the velociraptor calmed down a little.
Ren took the opportunity to cut the rope and carefully lowered the trap.
Wait for it to land, quickly take out the lasso tool made of fiber rope, slowly release your left hand, open the animal trap, turn the lasso with your right hand, and wait nervously.
The lasso is a tool specially used to capture animals in the game. The trapped animal will struggle. As long as it does not break the lasso, it can be slowly dragged back to the base. Used together with pet feed, the success rate is very high.
The premise is that the animal has been caught by you. After all, it is difficult for most animals to be caught by you while running, and ferocious animals like this are even less willing to cooperate.
Therefore, animal traps, pet feed, and nooses must be used together, and all are indispensable for dealing with large animals!
The most worry-free thing is to capture the baby animals or put their eggs into the stable. Renn knows nothing about the Warcraft Forest and is currently not in a position to find or even steal the velociraptor eggs.
Although the velociraptor was slightly calmer due to the pet food, Ren did not dare to be careless and very carefully let go of the trapping net and then threw the lasso.
The lasso successfully wrapped around the raptor's neck and tightened as the right hand pulled back.
"Roar——!!" The velociraptor whose neck was tied was really furious, shaking its head vigorously and trying to break free.
Lane still controlled the trap with his left hand, keeping the raptor trapped from the neck down. He tightened the lasso with his right hand and pulled it back, competing with it for strength.
It has to be said that the Velociraptor is very powerful.
Renne's 20 strength points were not fake, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
Seeing that the Velociraptor was a little tired and its struggle had become less intense, Ren loosened his left hand slightly, still tightening the lasso, and quickly took out the second piece of pet food from his virtual backpack and threw it over.
The raptor hung in the trap all night, and was actually quite tired and hungry. Seeing that he couldn't break free, he lowered his head to eat something.
After eating the pet food, the irritability I had before was much less intense.
This time, Ren held the noose with both hands and softly comforted it without irritating it, while leading it slowly out of the trap.
Although the Velociraptor stubbornly retreated from time to time and refused to follow, it was still led by the lasso and was taken away by Ren step by step, and finally returned to the base.
After spending a lot of time, Ren finally brought the raptor to the animal pen, threw it directly in and began to tame it.
It takes 8 hours to tame it, which is quite a long time.
Place enough raw meat in the animal pen and set off quickly to recover the second raptor.
Taming them is more troublesome in the early stage. Once the most advanced animal stable is unlocked in the later stage, it will become a trap-type taming station.
Advanced animal pens can lure wild beasts in and lock them up, and automatically turn on the taming function, eliminating such troublesome operations. It is very sturdy and has high defense, so you don't have to worry about being destroyed by wild beasts.
It just needs to unlock a lot of power equipment, which is currently not possible.
Ren rearranged all the traps, and spent a lot of effort to slowly bring the second raptor back to the base, and also put it into the animal pen.
Mission accomplished, most of the day has passed!
This is no simple matter.
Before the sun goes down, there are only a few hours left to dig open-pit ores and collect more stones and scattered iron ore for smelting.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye. When I was actually doing things, I felt that time passed quickly. Before I realized it, it was dark again.
