Until the sun set, the cat Buzz began to bite his tail in boredom, and the ground suddenly shook slightly, and a huge figure appeared in front of everyone through the woods.
"Wow!" Uncle Er Niu exclaimed softly, "This physique is a bit too excessive, isn't it?" I thought you were exaggerating at the time. β
Bai Xiaoqiu also opened his chin: "This product seems to be bigger than when I saw it a few days ago."
Unaware that a few little bugs were peeping at him, he walked back to the "bedroom" with a high spirit, sniffed the smell around him, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he stretched comfortably, nestled on the pile of withered grass, and soon snored loudly.
From the moment the tiger appeared, Bai Xiaoqiu stared at it without blinking, and when it finally fell asleep, Bai Xiaoqiu nodded as if he was sure of something: "That haystack is really where it sleeps, and it is really leisurely that this guy can fall asleep as soon as he lies down." β
The hunter uncle explained: "The tiger is not in the habit of bringing its prey back to its residence, and usually eats it wherever it is caught. So they don't have anything else to do when they go back to their nests, mainly to come back to sleep. β
Shi Manqian suddenly said: "In this case, we can set a paralysis trap in the grass where it sleeps and sneak attack it!" β
"No," said Uncle Hunter, "those withered plants have been contaminated with corrosion for a long time, and delicate iron tools like paralysis traps can easily be corroded and ineffective. He scratched his head with a little headache, "This guy will sleep when he comes back, it's hard for us to judge his behavior habits, it seems that we can only observe it for two more days." β
"Can't we set a trap somewhere else and then lure the tiger over?" Bai Xiaoqiu asked.
Shi Manqian shook his head: "It's useless, this guy is very cunning, I and my former teammates have tried the method you said, none of them worked, and they all saw through it." If you want it to step on the trap, you can only judge its course of action before it has discovered us, and make arrangements in advance, otherwise you can only go head-to-head with it. Shi Manqian paused for a moment, and then said: "And the best place to place the trap is near here, this is the 'bedroom' of the tiger, and the other demon beasts dare not come over, so that the trap we set up will not be destroyed in advance by the passing demon beasts." β
"Oh oh" Bai Xiaoqiu touched the bridge of his nose, and suddenly said in surprise: "I know where the trap should be." β
"Don't make a fuss!" Er Niu and Shi Manqian didn't believe in Bai Xiaoqiu, a rookie.
"Really!" Bai Xiaoqiu explained very seriously: "When I came, I noticed that the woods in the northwest and northwest directions of this clearing have traces of destruction, and they should have been accidentally scraped down by the tiger when they entered and exited, you all agree with this, right?" β
The two of them nodded in unison.
Bai Xiaoqiu continued: "And this time the tiger came back from the woods on the east side, which confirms one of my speculations" He stopped and deliberately sold a pass.
"Don't pretend to be forced, say it quickly!"
"Generally speaking, the territory of animals is round, at least not concave from a certain angle. Now the territory in the east, west, and north directions has been cleared by it, but the woods in the south have no traces of destruction, so we only need to determine whether the density of demon beasts in the east has reached the level that Linghu is satisfied with, and we can judge the direction of its next return. β
"What you mean is that if the demon beasts in the east are already very scarce, then the next step for Linghu should be to go south to expand its territory. And if there are still many demon beasts in the east, then Linghu will continue to clean up the demon beasts in the east tomorrow. Although Erniu was naΓ―ve, he was not stupid, and he quickly understood what Bai Xiaoqiu meant.
"Opposite~"
Erniu pondered for a long time, and found that there was really nothing wrong with Bai Xiaoqiu's idea, and finally couldn't help but smile and give him a slap: "You are so witty!" β
Shi Manqian was also very satisfied with Bai Xiaoqiu's appearance: "Good job!" I've decided to give you an extra dinner tonight! β
"Meow~~!" The cats hugged Bai Xiaoqiu's thighs and rubbed again.
"Low-key, low-key~" Bai Xiaoqiu said low-key, in fact, his tail was about to be cocked, and it took a long time before he calmed down and asked, "When do you usually go out hunting?" β
Erniu thought for a moment and replied: "It can sleep for more than ten hours a day, usually goes out hunting in the morning, and comes back to sleep when the sun sets, we still have nearly a day." β
"Before it's time, let's find a place to eat first!" Shi Manqian squatted in front of Bass full of flattery, "Chef~ What are we going to eat tonight?" ~β
"Meow" Buzz slapped his face with his little paws, looking thoughtful.
"Meow!" He suddenly had an idea, took out a board from the shadow, and wrote: "Cold shredded venison with wild ginseng mushroom soup!" β
Shi Manqian's saliva flowed all over the ground: "I also want to raise a cat!" β
ββββββββββββββββββββ
At noon the next day, the group returned to the vicinity of the tiger's den.
"I encountered 37 demon beasts in six hours," Bai Xiaoqiu said while counting the numbers in the small book, "The density is still a little high, but at most half a day, Linghu should be able to complete the clearing of the woods in the east, so its route today should be to start to the east first, gradually approach the south, and finally come back from the woods in the south, let's confirm it." He took the lead and approached the tiger's lair.
Erniu came to the east in front of the trees that fell to the ground, and after observing for a while, he turned back to Bai Xiaoqiu and said, "That's right, there are two trees that were broken this morning, this guy is indeed heading towards the east, so the direction of coming back should be the south." β
The reason why Bai Xiaoqiu and the others would run a big circle to calculate the density of the demon beasts, instead of staying where they were and observing the direction of the tiger's departure, was precisely to prevent this situation at the moment. The movement range of the demon beast is very wide, and it does not mean that they will come back from where they go out, and the current situation also proves that their concerns are not superfluous.
After determining the direction of the tiger's return, the rest is relatively simple, just install the paralysis trap.
The paralysis trap is a high-level trap created to deal with powerful demon beasts, it must be specially customized, and it is very troublesome to carry, Bai Xiaoqiu and they only brought one. But there are many advantages of this trap, not to mention the strong paralyzing effect, and the trigger range is also very wide. Now that the direction of Linghu's return has been determined, it is only necessary to refine the general route of its return a little more.
Bai Xiaoqiu couldn't help much in this regard, and left it all to the hunter uncle to complete.
After less than an hour, the paralysis trap was finally installed.
All they need to do now is wait patiently
It was time for the sun to set again, and Bai Xiaoqiu and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, gradually became strict.
"Get all the props ready!" Uncle Hunter pulled out a large pile of bottles and cans of potion.
An antidote to fight miasma (oral), a tolerable seed to improve stamina and body (oral), an insect repellent to cover the smell and repel insects (for external use), and finally a soul-calming incense to fight off ghosts.
Soon, the huge figure of the tiger gradually emerged from the woods to the south, and the setting sun shone from its side, pulling out a long shadow.
It seems to be eating well today, picking its teeth with its big paws as it walks, and it looks like it is in a good mood.
But its good mood can only end here, when it is about to step out of the woods, there is a very strong stinging sensation on the soles of its front legs, and before it can react to the reason for this stinging sensation, a paralyzing sensation like an electric current passing through the body instantly swept through the body!
"Hands-on !!"
