Chapter 33: Setting the Trap
(Thanks to the Yu family's books, ZXCASD123, and Earth Wanderer's heroic rewards, ask for collection and recommendation votes)
I heard Paul talk about the rules of the sand frog catching competition, and I know that in order to protect the transitional capture, the organizing committee destroys the ecological chain at the edge of the desert and restricts the use of the most traditional fishing tools and means during the competition, such as frog cages and manual capture.
The next frog cage is actually to arrange a trap, put some food in the frog cage that can lure the sand frog to come to eat, and wait for the sand frog to enter the trap by itself.
Manual capture can only use the simplest net, so this depends on who has more experience and can find more sand frogs, and who has better skills to catch sand frogs with very fast speed.
With Su Ye's cultivation and the spiritual liquid he has now, if he wants to catch the sand frog, it is even more fun, he knows that if he lets go of his hand to participate in the competition, it is estimated that the first place is a very easy thing.
If nothing else, if you put a few drops of spiritual liquid on the food of the sand frogs placed by the trap, you can definitely attract a large number of sand frogs.
Su Ye thought about it for a while, but he still gave up the idea of taking the first place by himself, he was not very willing to be in the limelight, he was more willing to stand behind the scenes and make a first appearance than to attract everyone's attention.
So, he decided to secretly help little Paul win the first place in the capture competition.
The time was close to noon, Su Ye and Little Paul got a total of twelve traps, and halfway Su Ye went back to the ranch, took some of the spiritual liquid that was recollected last night, packed it in a newly made zuò small jade bottle, and put it in the space of the Purple Tower, and then only drove Little Paul's flying car, heading towards the desert, after entering the desert, the road had no flight function, and the flying car could only descend to the road and drive forward.
Su Ye has been in Desert Town for a while, but this is the first time he has officially entered the desert. Although the Purple Leaf Ranch is closest to the desert, there is still a small area in the middle after all, so you can't see the appearance of the desert when you stand in the ranch.
The sand of the Great Desert is very delicate, and under the sun, it looks like a layer of fine golden thick milk, which is very beautiful.
Su Ye quickly immersed himself in this moving beauty, thinking to himself, that strange Jin Yina kind of person who is engaged in artistic creation will come here to collect style, such a beautiful scenery is indeed easy to calm people's hearts, and then burst out of artistic inspiration. Even if I am a person who doesn't understand customs, after seeing such a beautiful scenery, I also have a mind for literature and art.
Su Ye suddenly wanted to compose a poem, but this idea circled in his mind and then dispersed, he didn't have the literary talent to compose poetry.
After arriving at the competition base set up by the organizing committee, Su Ye was awakened by the noisy and lively sound.
The competition base was very large and very lively, Su Ye roughly observed for a while, and found that there were at least three or four thousand people gathered here, or even more.
With a population of just over 1,000, Desert Town is home to people from several nearby towns, as well as tourists.
Little Paul took Su Ye to the registration point of the competition to register, took some identification tags, returned to the flying car, and then pasted it on a catcher, there were too many people participating in the competition, so as to prevent others from taking the wrong catcher.
"Hey! Paul, what's the matter, are you ready to lose again this year? ”
The two were about to leave the base and set a trap deeper in the desert when suddenly a speeding car stopped next to little Paul's car, and a young man in his thirties (under forty years old is considered a young man) got out of the driver's seat.
When little Paul saw the visitor, his face obviously became not very good, and he said to the person who came angrily: "Hughes, don't think that if you won the first place last year, you will definitely be able to take it again this year, sometimes if you are too angry, you will lose your character." I'm not going to let you get away with it this year! ”
"Hehe, Paul, you're wrong, I didn't just win the first place last year, but also the year before last, you said the same last year, but unfortunately, I still won the championship, I heard that the prize for the first place this year is a flying car worth more than 50,000 yuan, hehe, my flying car is just going to be changed." After the man named Xiusi finished speaking, he glanced at Su Ye in the co-pilot, waved his hand to little Paul, and walked directly towards the registration office.
Little Paul was obviously stimulated by the other party's arrogant appearance, and scolded in a low voice before explaining to Su Ye: "This guy is from Mary Town in the south, and he has won the first place for two consecutive years, he is my former high school classmate, and he is also a member of the school game club, and he used to play games when he was studying, so he has always been a little jealous of me, but I didn't expect that now I lost to him in the capture competition, and I won second place last year." ”
Su Ye smiled and nodded, he didn't speak, he could see that in fact, there was no real grudge between little Paul and that Xiusi, and even the two had a good relationship, maybe it was just a special way of getting along between friends.
After entering the depths of the desert edge, little Paul divided two traps to Su Ye, and then said to Su Ye: "The first time you participate in this kind of competition, it is regarded as an experience, first see how I arrange the trap, and then go to the stomach to arrange, play this kind of competition, you want to be a person who can have fun, if you don't pursue the noun, even if you see that you have only caught a sand frog in the trap you personally arranged, you will have a sense of achievement." ”
After saying that, little Paul began to look for a suitable place to set traps, little Paul was second in the last year, he had a lot of experience, and soon found a suitable place, a small oasis, only about forty or fifty square meters, on which some desert plants grew sparsely.
Little Paul dug up the sand layer on the surface, touched the sand inside with his hand, and explained to Su Ye: "It depends on the humidity of the sand layer below, sand frogs like to hide in the relatively wet sand layer during the day, but not too wet, they are very sensitive to humidity, humidity like this is the favorite of sand frogs, here is an excellent trap placement point, last year I laid out two traps here, and caught more than 50 sand frogs that meet the specifications." ”
The limit for personal use of Catchers is ten, and no one can use more than ten Catchers.
Su Ye had heard Paul introduce that under normal circumstances, a trap set by a trap set by a trap can catch ten sand frogs that meet the specifications is already a good score. Two traps caught more than fifty, no wonder little Paul said so proudly.
Su Ye carefully watched how little Paul arranged the trap, the setting of the trap is actually very simple, after finding a suitable place, directly fix the trap on the surface of the sand layer, and then place some food that the sand frog likes to eat in the trap. There is not much technical content, the important thing is to find the location of the trap.
After Su Ye saw Little Paul set up a trap, he took out a bottle, poured out dozens of white meat worms from it, and put them in the trap.
"It's a cabbage worm, in my opinion, it's the favorite of the sand frog, this meat worm can emit a smell that only a few creatures such as the sand frog can smell, and this smell is almost irresistible to the sand frog, just like the real game is for me, hehe." Little Paul explained with a smile.
