In the early morning, the sky was bright, accompanied by the sound of all kinds of birdsong, the two people who had rested all night got out of the tent, stretched a lazy waist, and instantly refreshed and full of vitality. The two who got up early in the morning joked with each other, first did a set of radio gymnastics at the suggestion of Luo Fatzi, and listened to the crackling sound on his body, the fat man couldn't help but say:

"Brother Qiang, do you think that after coming here, the air is very fresh, except for the reason that there is no pollution, do you think there will be aura here? Do you think that if we do radio gymnastics every day, will we generate internal force in the body, and then become a big master who sweeps all directions? Hey hey"

Luo Fatzi was embarrassed to say anything more, especially Xu Qiang's contemptuous eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Qiang ignored Luo Fatzi's shame and continued to do radio gymnastics, saying as he did it:

"I don't know if there is aura, but strengthening physical exercise can improve physical fitness, that's for sure, anyway, we have time in this world, and we will exercise every morning in the future, I can teach you military boxing and tai chi, self-defense and health are good."

"Okay, I want to exercise hard and live to be more than a hundred years old, but it will be even more beautiful if I can train my internal strength, haha!"

Xu Qiang, who had already finished broadcasting gymnastics, no longer paid attention to the fat man who was there YY, and walked to the stream with two hanging pots and toothbrushes and toothpaste, after brushing his teeth, he felt much more refreshing in his mouth, and picked up a handful of cool stream water and sprinkled it on his face, a little icy, but he was comfortable and his spirit was more uplifted. After washing his face twice, he picked up the two hanging pots next to him and filled them with water, walked back to the campfire, added two sticks of firewood to it, and only after the bonfire was burned did he put the hanging pots on the rack, one of which was filled with a handful of rice, and the other pot was used to boil hot water.

After seeing Luo Fatzi recover from the YY state and run to brush his teeth, Xu Qiang took the rabbit that had been hung by the bonfire and smoked it all night, skewered it on a wooden stick, and roasted the rabbit by the fire to prepare it for today's breakfast.

Considering that it is not easy to cook and the number of meat eats is increasing, the two of them decided to change the number of meals last night before going to bed, from three times to two, and the amount of meals will be increased, so that they can save a lot of time to do other things. I got up early today to eat earlier and free up more time to speed up the process of camp protection.

At this time, Luo Fatzi also came back, Xu Qiang handed over the barbecue work to him, and he turned around and dressed himself completely, and walked towards the bamboo forest, where a rope sleeve was set up, and he heard movement in the trap in a daze last night, but he didn't know if there was any prey on the bait.

When he got closer, Xu Qiang was slightly disappointed, the trap was not triggered, and the prey was not caught, but the wolf corpse that was placed there as bait was eaten a lot. Xu Qiang took a closer look, the meat was covered with jagged tooth marks, and there were plum blossom-shaped footprints around it, but he couldn't tell what kind of it was.

The prey ate ate the bait without triggering the trap, indicating that the prey is cunning and cautious.

"It's kind of interesting, it looks like I'm going to have to catch you!"

Xu Qiang, who wanted to figure out what kind of beast it was, became competitive, adjusted the trigger device of the rope sleeve again, cut a green bamboo about two centimeters thick, and set up a roller elastic rope trap on the other side of the wolf corpse. This trap is made with a crossbar and a pole with a bait rod. The crossbar is stuck on two branches that are stuck upside down in the soil, and the pole is placed between the bait rod and a wooden stake, and a rope is set under the bait rod, and after the prey eats the bait and destroys the balance, the rope sleeve quickly tightens and grasps the prey.

After setting it up, Xu Qiang considered the caution of this prey, and the bait also used the wolf corpse, and the bait rod was between the thigh bone and the pole where the wolf corpse had been eaten, and the pole was covered with a layer of bamboo leaves and floating soil, as long as the unknown animal stepped on the bait rod, it would immediately catch the other party.

Now it depends on whether the prey is cunning or the hunter is more skilled.

After all this, Luo Fatzi was already calling him to eat, and by the way, after sorting out the two wolf skins hanging on the pole, he turned around and returned to the camp to have breakfast with Luo Fatzi, and told Fatman what he had just seen between meals, so as not to accidentally touch the trap.

After breakfast, Luo Fatzi also took his equipment with him, and walked towards the sharp knife trap with Xu Qiang, where there was the biggest movement last night. Before he could reach the edge of the trap, he found that the branches and weeds that had been laid on it for camouflage had disappeared at the bottom of the trap, and a wolf-like animal covered with thick hair was lying at the bottom of the pit, its body pierced by at least five or six sharp stakes, and the dried blood was covered with the dirt beneath it, and its sharp teeth were exposed in its wide open mouth, which was long dead, but still shining with a cold light.

Luo Fatzi trembled forward, and kept poking and poking at the opponent with the bamboo spear in his hand to prevent the other party from cheating to death.

"Qiang, Brother Qiang, is this a wolf? It looks so big! ”

Xu Qiang, who was standing beside Fat Luo, looked over and looked at the prey carefully. The bloodshot eyes are large, narrow, but dull, about two meters long, and the limbs are thick but a little short, like an enlarged dachshund. Compared with the black-backed brown wolf encountered before, the head is larger and broader, the head is smaller, the exposed posterior molars are worn, the messy hair covers the strength of its body, and the weight is about 60 kilograms, which is much larger than that of modern wolves.

Xu Qiang pointed at the animal and turned his head to Luo Fatzi and said:

"This is a dire wolf, likes to walk alone, only when food is scarce, gregarious or even tearing its own kind, nocturnal, able to prey on some large herbivores, like to eat carrion, but I don't know why there are dire wolves here. In previous sources, it is said that they disappeared from the earth around 8,000 BC, and the unanimous theory in the archaeological community is that they survived in North America, mainly because no dire wolf fossils have been found in other parts of the world, so it is uncertain whether there are such animals in other continents. ”

"This wolf looks so scary!" Hearing Xu Qiang's introduction, Luo Fatzi became more and more worried and afraid.

"Well, yes, this animal can be considered a scavenger, like the hyenas in the African savannah, cruel by nature, and since there is a dire wolf here, then there must be other dire wolves moving around here.

It seems that we need to step up the protection of the camp, and this kind of nocturnal animal will be difficult to guard. During the day, we should also be careful, we must keep in mind that this is the ancient world, and humans are hairless monkeys in the eyes of other animals, that is, food for carnivores.

I remember a veteran soldier of a reconnaissance company once said that if you are in a state of disconnection, you should always underestimate your ability in the process of survival, and not overestimate your ability. Although we have sharp weapons, we still have to be cautious, because we are also mortals in the flesh, not immortals. ”
