Although the mouse's claws dig holes quickly, they cannot cut them down, and the thorns are too huge.
This was not difficult. Jia Zhengjin made two stone axes and taught the mouse how to chop thorns. Then he used the mouse's flying mount, the giant dragonfly, to tie up the thorns and drag them over one by one, then placed them upside down at the bottom of the trap.
After that, they picked up a large number of dead branches and giant leaves from the surrounding area, and carefully placed them across the trap to cover it up.
Finally, I picked up some rotten leaves and sprinkled them on to cover up the traces of new mud excavated.
"Is this all right?" The completed trap was hard to see if you didn't pay attention, the mouse asked cautiously.
"Yes! The next step is to wait." Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Although it is the simplest spike trap, it should be enough for you! In the future, you can follow what I teach and find more places to lay it, and it will be successful.
The probability is also higher!”
"Can we really catch prey like this?" The mouse was actually quite worried.
"This is the only way for prey. If you step on it and fall, you will be penetrated by sharp thorns in an instant. Even if you can fly, it will be useless!" Jia Zhengjin replied affirmatively, "If the prey is lucky enough to escape, it will continue to bleed. It will not stop bleeding at all."
You can’t run very far, so you just have to wait for the harvest. The prerequisite is that you don’t get snatched away by other predators!”
"When can we catch prey?" the mouse asked eagerly.
"Trap flow requires patience." Jia Zhengjin said, "We can leave this trap alone first and make a few more in the surrounding areas."
Hearing this, the mouse raised his head and glanced at the sky: "It will be dark after we finish this! What if we don't catch the prey? Otherwise, let's go to the golden butterfly habitat first and see if we can hunt the lone ones.
King butterfly larvae?”
"Whatever you want!" Jia Zhengjin is convinced that this trap can work. After all, he has often used it in the previous world and has long been proficient in traps.
The mouse took Jia Zhengjin away from the pond, rode a giant dragonfly all the way to a place full of flowers, first hovered in the air, and observed with a telescope.
"Look, here is the habitat of the golden butterflies." After observing, he handed the telescope to Jia Zhengjin, "There are so many larvae!"
I took over the earthen telescope made by the mouse. Although it looked a little blurry, I could indeed see the huge golden butterflies flying back and forth among the flowers, as well as the roots of the plants and the fat larvae poking out of the soil.
Golden butterflies are larger than the giant dragonflies that mice ride on. Their smallest larvae are as big as mice, and the largest ones are even three to four times as big as mice.
They look very big, but the wriggling larvae are very fragile, and it feels like a scrap iron spear can easily penetrate their heads.
"There's no one alone~" After circling for a few times, the mouse was a little depressed, "I can deal with a single larvae, but it's too dangerous to get together. And there are all those golden butterflies around..."
"Can't we just kill them all together?" Jia Zhengjin said calmly. In his opinion, these golden butterflies and golden butterfly larvae pose no threat and are extremely weak in combat effectiveness.
"How can it be that simple?" The mouse sighed, "Even if it's a golden butterfly larvae, I have to choose the smaller one..."
"Land down first!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I will deal with the golden butterfly, and you take the opportunity to catch the larvae. As long as the larvae are caught by you yourself, it will be fine, right?"
"That's what I say..." Mouse looked at Jia Zhengjin worriedly, "It's too dangerous!"
"I can even kill the giant snake in the swamp, so what does the golden butterfly mean?" Jia Zhengjin patted it on the shoulder, "To be honest, if there really is an existence that can kill me in this world, it will be too late to be happy!"
Happy? The mouse couldn’t figure out why he was still happy when there was an existence that could kill him?
At Jia Zhengjin's urging, the mouse controlled the giant dragonfly to land near the golden butterfly's habitat. After tying the dragonfly, one man and one mouse got into the grass and slowly approached the golden butterfly.
Stopping when he was about to arrive, the mouse pushed aside the grass and said in a low voice: "You can't get any closer, otherwise you will be discovered!"
Jia Zhengjin took a look and saw that the golden butterflies were still indulging in the sweet nectar of the huge flowers, and the larvae were also nibbling on the young leaves.
"What to do next?" the mouse asked in a low voice.
"I will draw the golden butterfly's attention away. The larvae will definitely be frightened and run away. You look for a target!" Jia Zhengjin ordered.
"Oh!" The mouse nodded nervously.
Using the materials he had just collected, he made a dozen fine-quality stone spears and stored them in his virtual backpack. Jia Zhengjin held one tightly in his hand and left the grass, rushing out very directly.
After running a few steps, he turned around and returned to the mouse.
"What's wrong?" the mouse asked in confusion.
"Wait a minute, don't waste the experience points! There's no point in upgrading me anyway." Jia Zhengjin opened the virtual interface and found the team formation option.
After the system is reset, team formation is also a new interface that appears.
In the previous world, teams were automatically assigned by the system. Jia Zhengjin was a little confused about this mechanism.
But now, he can directly add team members through the teaming option, and even assign item pickups and experience rewards.
【System】You add "Zhizhi" to the team member list.
[System] Please select the item pickup mode (① loot sharing mode, ② captain allocation mode, ③ contribution mode)
Shared trophies, all team members can pick up the trophies from killing monsters and touch corpses; captain distribution, all trophies are obtained by the captain, and then distributed by the captain; contribution mode, team members will receive corresponding trophies based on their contribution in the battle.
Jia Zhengjin wanted to give the mouse experience points, but he was not prepared to give it the qualifications to obtain trophies. Otherwise, with its thirst for knowledge of a hundred thousand reasons, just the question of where the trophies came from would annoy people to death.
Therefore, directly choose the captain distribution mode, and get all the loot by yourself.
[System] Please select the experience value distribution method (①Acquire each, ②Experience equally divided, ③Contribution mode)
Acquire it individually. As the name suggests, the experience you gain from killing monsters belongs to you and cannot be shared by team members. The experience points are shared equally by all team members. In the contribution mode, of course, the experience points are distributed based on combat performance. The more damage you do to monsters, the more damage you do to monsters.
The more you kill, the more experience points you get. If you don't contribute, if a teammate kills a monster, you can only get 1 experience point.
Jia Zhengjin chose the experience sharing mode. The rats can share half of the monsters he kills. After all, there is no option to give all the experience to the team members.
After the selection is completed, the team is formed.
A new interface appeared in the lower left corner of Jia Zhengjin's eyes, displaying two health bars and a name.
【Keane】(Jia Zhengjin) Level 5,
【Zhizhi】Level 4.
This rat is only level 4, no wonder it is so weak!
"Hey, that's weird!" After the team was formed, the mouse said in confusion, "It feels like there is some connection between us, but I can't tell..."
"Don't worry about it, I'm ready to start a war, you should also choose a target!"
