While Meili, Tatanir and Lena were talking quietly, Jia Zhengjin was observing the situation from the front, and based on the movement trajectory of the fanged rodents on the virtual map, he quickly set up fixed traps, then retreated and waited quietly.
"Has the trap been set?" Lena asked in a low voice when she saw him coming.
Jia Zhengjin said in his heart that you really didn't see anyone outside. He didn't even look at her. He turned to Meili and Tatanil and whispered: "Don't act rashly without my order. My trap is set far away from the nest."
The wild fruits inside can attract a lone fanged rodent. Don’t hesitate after it falls into the trap. Follow me and rush to the front! Before other fanged rodents hear the cry of their companions, they will fall into the trap first.
A quick kill. It has to be clean! Do you understand?”
"Understood!!" Lena responded immediately before Merry and Tatanir could speak.
The three of them looked at her and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Merry and Tartanir shook their heads helplessly, and then responded in a low voice: "Understood!"
Jia Zhengjin made a quiet gesture and hid behind a tree.
The two female adventurers followed suit and hid quietly.
Liena hid near the three of them, not treating herself as an outsider at all, and not caring that the other party ignored her at all, as if she was a participant in this operation.
All Jia Zhengjin could do was ignore her, hoping that the noble lady would leave on her own after she got tired of playing.
In his opinion, as long as he ignored her at all, this noble lady who was usually surrounded by her subordinates and used to being the protagonist would not be able to bear the neglect and would naturally leave when the time comes.
The more you talk to her, the more motivated she may be.
Everyone waited quietly, and after a while, there was indeed a lone fanged rodent. It traveled according to the trajectory calculated by Jia Zhengjin and found the wild fruits arranged in the trap.
These fanged rodents leave their nests to look for food or drink water. If they find ready-made food, they will naturally not let it go.
However, it was cautious enough. After it deviated from the track and approached the trap, it did not step on it immediately, but kept circling around the trap. Even if the food was close at hand, it was not in a hurry to harvest it, but kept patrolling the side.
This made Mei Li and others who were waiting anxious. The three girls all clenched their weapons and stared at the fanged rodent.
Only Jia Zhengjin looked calm. He knew that after setting a trap, all he had to do was be patient.
Finally, after wandering around for more than ten times, the fanged rodent couldn't help but jump into the trap and pounced on the wild fruit Jia Zhengjin put down.
"Plop!" The trap was stepped on, and the fanged rodent fell directly into the deeply dug pit. The wooden spiked lid above fell down, completely blocking the exit.
Originally, a pothole of this size could not control a fanged rodent, and it could easily climb up the wall on its own.
It was just a wooden spike cover blocking the entrance of the hole. The spikes were densely packed towards the wood spikes inside the hole. When it rushed up, it pierced the animal's skin, causing the big guy to instinctively retreat and return to the bottom of the hole.
"Quick!" Jia Zhengjin immediately ran over to it the moment it fell.
Merry and Tartaniel followed closely behind.
Lena also chased after her, just to get involved.
But Jia Zhengjin arrived first, raised his iron gun and stabbed into the pit. Tatanier drew his bow and arrows, and shot through the gaps in the wooden spike cover. Meili came over and took advantage of the fangs.
When the rodent jumps towards the entrance of the cave, he raises his sword and strikes.
The attacks of three people, coupled with the fact that the fanged rodent in a fearful state kept hitting the wooden spike cover, soon caused him to be seriously injured and died.
Lena had no time to intervene, the battle was already over.
"Evacuate!" In the flash of lightning, before he had time to celebrate, Jia Zhengjin turned around and ordered, taking Meili and Tatanir away in a hurry.
Lena had just run over and saw them approaching, so she turned around and ran with the three of them, quickly returning to the hiding place.
As soon as the four people hid, a large group of fanged rodents rushed over and appeared near the trap. They circled around the trap and screamed at the corpse inside.
It turned out that the fanged rodent that had just fallen into the trap screamed for help in panic, attracting its tribe.
Fortunately, the fanged rodent has a limited IQ. Although he heard the cry for help and rushed to the trap, he only saw the corpse of his companion and had no idea what was going on. He walked around a few times and found no response from inside, so he acted decisively.
Give up and turn around and return to the nest.
When Jia Zhengjin saw this scene, he waved gently to Meili and Tatanir and lowered his voice: "There's only one! Let's change places immediately!"
"Why do you need to change positions?" Meili asked in a low voice, "Just reopen the trap and move the body out, right?"
Tatanir and Lena also looked at each other and had the same thoughts as Mellie.
Jia Zhengjin shook his head: "It can be seen from the actions of these fanged rodents that they have a certain degree of intelligence, although it is not very high. But they will not fall into the same trap again on the corpses of their companions. Therefore,
We need to change the location, and reset it in an area far away from the smell of blood."
"Is it so troublesome?" Lena asked in surprise.
Jia Zhengjin didn't even look at her, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and continued to say to Meili and Tatanir: "Now, you two move with me and stay as quiet as possible."
"yes......"
The three people turned around and circled from the outside to other positions in the circle formed with the nest as the center.
Lena followed closely, regardless of whether they completely ignored her.
After finding the new location, Jia Zhengjin immediately dug a second trap and set it up. After returning, he patiently waited for the second fanged rodent to fall into the trap.
Sure enough, after changing to a new position, the fanged rodent forgot what happened just now. Although it was still very cautious, it still fell into the trap.
Still the same as before, when the fanged rodent fell into the trap, Jia Zhengjin immediately called on Meili and Tataniel to rush forward and kill the second lone animal with three strikes.
Lena was very depressed and still couldn't catch up. She could only watch them turn around and come back after processing.
The third and fourth animals also used the same method to lure them into a brand new trap nearby and hunted them, and they also did not give Lina any chance. This made her particularly unhappy, and she thought secretly in her heart.
Hunt one more, and the mission is complete! Follow the method just now and move to a new location, letting Meili and Tartaniel wait patiently while Jia Zhengjin digs new traps and lays out bait.
Then retreat and lie in wait with everyone else, waiting for the last fanged rodent to enter the trap.
Everything went smoothly. The fifth fanged rodent required by the mission was finally attracted. It quietly approached the trap and began to wander around the trap, carefully investigating.
