Chapter Eighty-Eight: Hunting the Crocodile
The next morning, the eight of them began their journey to dig traps. Of course, the main force is Goose Egg, Kadar, Xiao'e and Radus, and the remaining four are responsible for laying out the turf for disguise on the trap. The length of the trap is five meters, the width is two meters, and the height is about three meters, and Goose Egg and others dug ten such traps. There are branches from a short distance on the trap, and the turf is gently placed on the branches.
All eight of them were doing this kind of thing for the first time, so none of them had much experience. It took a long time for the eight of them to set up ten traps, and it was almost late afternoon when the traps were arranged. At this time, it was the time for the crocodile dragon to hunt, and everyone hurriedly hid next to the eagle dragon clan who had already arrived. Today, because of the relationship between the eight people, there are only a few sheep on the side, which makes the group of crocodile dragons start to rush towards the sheep as soon as they appear. Many crocodiles rushed forward in order to eat the sheep, and soon they fell into the trap of the goose eggs and others. This situation made Martha and the others excited, and Alina and Martha even high-fived.
Unfortunately, many crocodiles jumped out of the trap, and there were many more jumping up. The eight of them now estimate that there may only be three or four crocodiles in the ten traps, which makes everyone depressed for a while. The crocodile did not hunt for a long time, and after the sheep were eaten, the crocodile herd began to crawl towards its habitat, leaving only a few crocodile dragons that could not climb out of the trap.
The eight people and the hunting team walked to the side of the trap and saw that the ten traps had been destroyed, and the total number of traps in the traps was three crocodiles. The members of the hunting team helped to carry the three crocodiles into the cages, and many members of the team took a closer look at the three crocodiles.
"Although the three crocodiles were slightly injured, there was nothing wrong with it. The crocodiles you capture in the future should at least look like this, and the seriously injured crocodiles will not be counted. And don't try to use your own strength to capture the crocodile directly, this kind of crocodile can't go to the battlefield, and it doesn't count. A mirgy said.
The Eagle Dragon Hunting Team left, and the eight began to discuss again.
"Sister Lena, according to our progress of three a day, it will take at least more than thirty days to complete the task. By then, we'll be cold early. Raders said.
"Yes, I thought that if the trap didn't work, I would just do it, but when the man said that it was useless for us to do it directly. Alina said.
"What then? Even if we dig a few more traps, we won't have a few more traps, and we'll still have a long time before we can complete the task. Martha said.
"Yes, we need to find a way to keep the crocodile in the trap from being able to jump out of it. Boreise said.
"It's easy to make them not jump out, but I don't know if it will make any difference, and then the Eagle Dragons don't agree. Martha said.
"How?" asked Boritz.
"Use ice! Use magic to create those slippery trap pits, and crocodiles have a hard time standing on them, so they don't have the strength to jump into the traps. Martha said.
"There's nowhere to borrow, and of course you can't jump out of the trap. Alina said. She paused and continued, "It's just not going to work, we're going to increase the number of traps." ”
"No! There are so many traps that there are no other traps to dig there. Raders said.
"Of course, one row can't fit down, so let's dig some traps at the intersection behind the first row. Alina said.
......
After one night passed, Martha and the others began digging and setting traps again. The four of them are still digging traps, with Alina and Denise laying the turf, and Martha and Boritz casting magic to freeze the bottom of the trap and around it. This time, everyone's speed was very fast, and the traps released at noon were all done.
In the afternoon, there were more sheep than last time. The crocodile herd did not rush forward in the middle this time as they did last time, and this time they did not start to rush together until they reached a certain number. Many crocodiles fell into the trap on their own, and many were squeezed into the trap by the crocodile behind them. These crocodiles that fell into the trap were unable to focus on the ice of the trap, and few jumped on them. There are many crocodile dragons who dodge the traps in the first row and fall into the traps in the second row, and they try to jump into the traps but can't. The rest of the crocodiles stepped on their backs, jumped over the traps, ate the sheep and left, leaving some crocodiles that could not break free from the traps.
This time, the eight of them had a big harvest, and there were almost two crocodile dragons in each trap. If you count the thirty-seven crocodiles in the trap, there are forty of them when you add the three from the previous time. The Eagle Dragon Hunting Team helped put the ten crocodiles in cages and left, and they were going to deliver them in batches.
The hunting party returned an hour after leaving, and they brought very bad news to the crowd. The elders of the Eagle Dragon Clan were not satisfied with this batch of crocodiles, but they still accepted this batch of crocodiles, and the thirty-seven crocodiles in this batch were counted in the number of tasks, and the next batch was still the same. The original excited expressions of the eight people who heard the news suddenly disappeared, and the eight people had no chance to protest even if they wanted to.
In the evening, the group began to discuss the crocodile again, of course, there were only five people to discuss, Xiao'e and Goose Egg did not understand this, and Denise never liked to participate in these things. After intense discussions, the five finally decided on another plan. The plan was to dig the trap to a depth of 10 meters and then put it into water at a depth of 3 meters, with the ice still surrounding it to prevent the crocodile from escaping.
......
It was another morning, and the industrious eight had set the trap again. With the experience of the previous two times, although the task was large this time, the eight people still set up the trap at noon. The eight of them only waited for the afternoon to see the results, and if it didn't work this time, Martha and the others would be distressed again. Eight people were eating roasted laser dragon meat while waiting for the arrival of the afternoon......
In the afternoon, it was the critical moment of the key crocodile hunting. The crocodiles fell into the trap one by one like last time, and this time not many crocodiles jumped out, and this time even if the trap was very deep, even if they stepped on other crocodiles, it was difficult for many crocodiles to jump out of the trap. Everyone ran over to see that there were at least five crocodile dragons in each trap. This time, the hunting team picked forty crocodiles and transported them back in two batches, and when they transported the second batch, they brought back bad news for everyone. This time it still counts the number of tasks, and next time it won't count. When everyone heard the news, they were furious.
"Is this old man specifically picking on us? If you don't say anything, you won't forget it, how can there be such a reason? Raders shouted.
"Alright, we'll talk about that later, and we'll get rid of the remaining crocodiles in the trap first. Alina said.
