Chapter 10 Hunting the Snow Leopard
Back at the camp, Lu Ning did some training in throwing stones as usual, and looked at the growth of the lantern plant: fortunately, it was still alive and well.
This time he went out and didn't collect any resources, but this was also expected by Lu Ning, so he wasn't too frustrated.
And he also confirmed the location of a monster's lair, and confirmed the combat power and fighting methods of those snow leopards, which was beyond his original plan.
He thought it was the first time he had taken the initiative to go out hunting, and it would have been ideal to follow a few footprints and feces and probably find the range of some wild monsters.
Lu Ning then continued his usual work for several days: making spears.
The spear, the most basic hunting weapon, dates back to the Paleolithic period.
A wooden stick with a sharpened head, this is the most primitive form of the spear.
Later, people learned to polish stone tools, so people split a gap in the head of the wooden stick, inserted a sharpened stone spearhead, and then tied and strengthened it with straw rope, and a simple stone spear was ready.
Although the process is quite primitive, it has a number of advantages:
It is easy to use, has strong combat effectiveness, and has obvious distance advantages in long handles.
It can even be thrown as a ranged weapon to kill dangerous prey from a distance.
Legend has it that hominids could even kill mammoths at the top of the food chain with their spears, making them the most powerful hunters on earth.
Of course, it was a primitive person with arrogant combat power, and even if Lu Ning, an ordinary college student who had just graduated, had already improved his physique to a certain extent, he could not have such a strong combat power all of a sudden.
But his target wasn't a mammoth, but a few ordinary monsters that were dumbfounded and didn't have much to resist as long as they were a little farther away.
Lu Ning randomly divided the wild monsters he had seen into seven levels according to the level of danger during the battle, and these snow leopard individuals, although they could sweep a huge forest with one tail, could still only be evaluated as "easy" in his standards.
Easy: Ordinary common creatures can be dealt with by ordinary people with a weapon, and they don't even need professional training.
By the way, those rabbits and other creatures are not in the evaluation level, and the one-horned tiger that is half starved to death and has been picked up by him is of the "normal" level, and Lu Ning guesses that if the thing is full, it can most likely be classified into the "difficult" level.
The other four levels were entirely of his own imagination, as he hadn't seen a stronger creep yet.
In short, this bit of bad taste is not to be mentioned.
The manufacture of the spear has left only the last step: assembly.
This time, Lu Ning considered himself to have handled the wooden handle part perfectly, and the spearhead made of cobblestone was also sharpened by him.
Lu Ning stuck the spearhead on the wooden handle, and then tightly wrapped it with the strongest straw rope specially picked out, and tied it with a dead buckle.
"Finally ready ......"
Lu Ning sighed, stood up, and stood the spear in front of him.
The spear was a long cut over his height, and he believed it would be enough to take out the snow leopards.
Lu Ning tried to learn the tutorial on the drawing, carrying a spear and throwing a spear, and the strengthened physical fitness made him learn these movements easily, and he soon practiced a good look.
Putting down the spear, Lu Ning took something to eat as he called out to the ghost.
"Data reconstruction transfer in progress."
"The captain has been issued: the drawings for the manufacture of animal skin clothing, please check it.
"The next aid is being manufactured in an accelerated manner, and the estimated completion time: 24 hours, please be patient."
"Fur clothing?"
Lu Ning was pleasantly surprised, picked up the drawings and looked at them carefully.
His clothes were no different from rags. If you can sew out a piece of animal skin clothing, not only the warmth effect is greatly improved, but also has a certain protective ability, so that you will not always inadvertently make yourself scarred.
Naturally, a large amount of animal skins and silk threads are also required to make animal skin clothes, which further strengthens Lu Ning's hunting intentions.
With a thirst for new clothes, Lu Ning fell asleep.
……
It's the fifth day.
Lu Ning bent over the cat's head behind the hillside, staring at the nest in the distance.
He had been carrying spears every day for the past few days to find the stubble of the snow leopards - but despite the right weapons in his hand, he was not skilled in the use of spears before, and he was not familiar enough with the snow leopards' attack methods, so each time it ended in a gray escape.
But this time, he had fully mastered the use of the weapon in his hand, and he also fully understood all kinds of information about those snow leopards.
Their behavioral habits, the range and frequency of their tails' attacks, their movements before making a move, how long they will be stiff after a move-
He's already in control of all of this, and this time, he's confident he's going to win!
Of course, it's not really without problems, it's just that the physical exertion of the fierce battles every day is too great, and the food stored in his camp is almost exhausted......
So this time, you can only succeed, not fail!
Lu Ning clenched the spear in his hand, but instead of rushing directly, he took out a sling, aimed at a snow leopard, and threw out a stone.
Middle back of the head.
The snow leopard seemed stunned for a moment, stretching its neck to look left and right.
This attack posed no threat to it at all, so the snow leopard did not think that it was being attacked at all, and thought that the stone was blown by the wind.
Seeing that it had attracted its attention, Lu Ning took out a berry from his pocket and put it on the sling, aimed at the ground not far away and threw it out, and then quickly retracted his head.
These are the few berries left...... When Lu Ning threw this thing out, his distressed liver was trembling.
But no, no. If you don't use the berries to attract you and show up directly, then the result is four snow leopards coming together - then Lu Ning can't beat it anyway.
The snow leopard saw a berry flying from a distance, looked over the hillside but found nothing, so he walked slowly towards it.
Here you can see that the IQ of this wild monster is really not very good. Lu Ning came for five days, and each time he started with throwing stones, and then used berries to lure the monster, but the other party still didn't learn any lessons......
When it had eaten the berries on the ground, Lu Ning struck another stone to get its attention, and then threw another berry closer to the hillside.
In this way, the snow leopard was led by Lu Ning little by little to the back of the hill away from the nest. Just as he was eating energetically, Lu Ning's gift flew over again.
This time, it's cyan stone.
Centered on the forehead.
The snow leopard was eating Zhenghuan, and was directly blinded by this stone, and there was a sharp stinging pain on its forehead, which made it roar out of its throat.
But it's a pity that under such a wind, at this distance, its roar does not attract the attention of other snow leopards.
At the same time, Lu Ning had already stabbed forward with a spear.
The drawings of the spears sent by the ship not only show the manufacturing method, but also some supporting offensive movements and holding postures.
This is not a game skill, nor is it a martial arts kung fu, it is just the most basic routines and moves, it is very rough, there will be no critical damage bonus, and it can't make Lu Ning turn over and become a martial arts master, but ...... For someone like Lu Ning who has no foundation, this works very well.
Lu Ning used his increasingly strong learning ability to memorize it all in his mind, and he has been exercising and studying in the past few days.
This assassination is called Fang.
With all his strength, Lu Ning stabbed the sharp stone spearhead into the snow leopard's front leg, opening a bloody wound on it.
Lu Ning originally stabbed at the opponent's neck, but the opponent also knew the danger and avoided the fatal blow.
But injuring a front leg was also a surprising result, and Lu Ning withdrew his spear and took two steps back.
A phantom figure crashed down with a whistling sound, smashing a deep pit in the snow in front of the snow leopard, and the snow splattered in all directions.
However, it was a pity that the place where the tail fell was only half a position away from where Lu Ning was standing.
Lu Ning clenched the spear in his backhand, raised it high above his head, and then stabbed it hard.
The official name of this move is "Falling Teeth", but Lu Ning has given this move a new, more vivid name:
Hedgeho.
