"Kean, this is not a hunting place!" The mouse carefully poked his head out from the green weeds, carefully checked the surroundings, and said in a low voice, "The golden butterfly larvae are in the drier area on the other side. It's a bit dangerous here, often
There are very scary large beasts out there..."
"That's why I brought you here." Jia Zhengjin stood on the road openly and carefully checked the traces under his feet. "Come out! I will teach you to identify the footprints and the movement route of the prey, and find the best place to place the trap!"
"Are you kidding me? All the people here are hunters. I can't beat them." The mouse shook its head desperately and hid in the grass and refused to come out.
"I'm not asking you to have a head-on confrontation." Jia Zhengjin turned around helplessly and dragged it out of the grass. "Look carefully. Are there many footprints on the ground?"
"Hmm~" The mouse looked around absentmindedly.
"I told you to look at the ground!" Jia Zhengjin reached out and pressed its head, forcing it to look away.
"I saw it, I saw it..." The mouse nodded.
"Can you tell what footprints they are?"
The mouse shook his head.
"Forget it, let's make it simple!" Jia Zhengjin had no choice but to point to the largest set of footprints. "Based on the footprints, we can probably infer the size of the creatures passing by here."
"How to deduce?" Mouse asked curiously, "What's the use of knowing it?"
"Knowing its size, you can dig a trap big enough to accommodate it and prevent it from escaping!" Jia Zhengjin explained seriously, "Look, based on the footprints, it should be a creature with webbed feet. And then its footprints
The shape is a bit strange, probably a reptile like a lizard."
"Can this be seen?" The mouse was very curious, "By the way, what is a lizard?"
"Don't worry about so many!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand to interrupt it. "Although there are other footprints mixed in, the largest number are the lizard footprints and the traces left by its tail sweeping the ground. Based on these traces, it is inferred that the target is very large.
, enough for your family to eat for more than a week."
The mouse blinked and stared at Jia Zhengjin seriously: "But even if you want to catch it, it's not here?"
"You know why I picked the edge of the pond?"
The mouse shook his head vigorously.
"Are you going to drink water?"
"Drink when you are thirsty," the mouse replied.
"Yes! You need to drink water when you are thirsty, and there are many creatures in the pond, which is also a place for large predators to hunt." Jia Zhengjin pointed to the footprints on the road and said, "So the pond is equivalent to a natural canteen, attracting
All kinds of creatures come. Creatures have memories and often like to take familiar paths. For example, when you hunt, you also go in a direction you are familiar with, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
"The road is made by walking out." Jia Zhengjin pointed to the obvious road under his feet, "and this is the passage that several kinds of creatures often go back and forth."
"Wow~ you are so smart!" The mouse's eyes shone, "You are indeed an alien."
"..." Jia Zhengjin didn't know what to say. This was all common sense.
"What then? What then?" the mouse asked eagerly.
Although he was speechless, Jia Zhengjin patiently explained: "This is the best place to dig traps because the soil is soft and there is no hard rock layer. What we have to do is to dig a big enough hole as soon as possible and arrange it a little bit. You can dig it
Hole?"
"Yes!" the mouse said excitedly, raising its paw, "digging holes is the strength of our group."
Guessed it, you are a mouse after all. Jia Zhengjin said in his heart.
"Well, watch it!" Jia Zhengjin found a small stone and drew a huge circle on the soil layer based on his inferred body shape. "You dig here, based on the circle I drew, downwards
Dig five meters deep!”
"What is five meters?" asked the mouse.
"Don't you even know this?" Jia Zhengjin held his forehead against his head and thought for a moment, "Wait for me for a while."
"Hey! Why are you going? Don't leave me here alone~" Seeing him turning around and running to the side, the mouse hurriedly chased after him.
Jia Zhengjin ignored it and quickly searched for a few small stones in the surrounding area, then picked up a few dead branches, and then pulled out a few plant seedlings to obtain fiber.
"What are you doing, Keen?" The mouse followed, watching his every move curiously.
After collecting the basic materials, Jia Zhengjin opened the skill interface, spent a skill point in the tool options to activate [Stone Tool Manufacturing], then found [Tool Mastery], and added all the remaining 4 skill points.
Stone tool formulas such as stone axes, stone shovels, stone knives, stone spears, and gravel arrows will immediately appear on the production interface.
[Tool Mastery] (4/10): Upgrading this skill can improve the quality of manufactured tools. (Level 1 can make inferior tools, level 1 can make ordinary tools, level 4 has a small chance of producing exquisite quality tools, level 4 will definitely produce exquisite quality tools.
Tools, there is a small probability of excellent quality tools appearing at level 5, excellent quality tools will appear at level 6, perfect quality tools will appear at level 7, perfect quality tools will appear at level 8, legendary quality tools will appear at level 9, and epic quality tools will appear at level 10
tool.)
After adding skill points, Jia Zhengjin used the materials he had just collected to make a stone shovel.
Level 4 tool proficiency can directly synthesize blue exquisite quality stone tools.
"Hey!" The mouse was surprised to see a stone shovel appear out of thin air in Jia Zhengjin's hand, "What is this? Where did it come from? Why did it appear suddenly?"
"Don't worry about so much, just watch it for me!" Jia Zhengjin directly selected a point in the circle he drew and started digging deeper.
Although they were the most basic stone tools, the soil around the pond was very soft, and they quickly dug to about five meters. Then they dug a path diagonally back to the top, and looked at the mouse: "Did you see the depth I dug?"
"I saw it!" The mouse nodded.
"Just dig this deep, understand?"
"clear!"
"Then let's get started!" Jia Zhengjin stepped back from the circle, "I'll give you a lookout."
"Oh!" Although the mouse felt confused, it followed Jia Zhengjin's instructions and used its flexible and sharp claws to start digging frantically.
Not to mention, its digging speed is really fast.
In less than half an hour, a huge hole was successfully dug, and then he climbed up and looked at Jia Zhengjin excitedly: "It's done!"
"Very good!" After careful inspection, he felt very satisfied. Jia Zhengjin nodded immediately, "Next, do you see the huge thorn tree over there?"
"I saw it!" Following the direction Jia Zhengjin pointed, the mouse's eyes fell on a giant plant covered with spikes not far away. Those spikes were bigger than it and Jia Zhengjin."
"Come with me to cut some spikes, then lay them at the bottom of the trap, and then get some branches and leaves to cover the hole. Our basic spike trap is complete!" Jia Zhengjin said, "The next thing to do is to wait!"
