14. Rabbits

Looking at the numbers that had returned to their normal colors, Su Yu put down the wooden cup, and then opened her backpack to take a look at the time.

The countdown on the Lord Token now shows fifty-one...... Nearly fifty-two hours.

According to the countdown of the lapse of time, it should now be around five o'clock in the morning.

Because it was not yet sunrise, the sky was still gray and dark in the absence of the sun, as if it was covered in a layer of black fog.

Such a dark color, combined with the quiet and terrible environment around it, looks particularly gloomy and lonely.

Because the sky is not yet bright, in the absence of any mobile light source, Su Yu's vision is still very limited.

But it was precisely because it was about to dawn that she could still move normally as long as she was careful...... By this time, she was already able to leave the shelter of the campfire.

Although it is not morning, and it is still night, the action does not attract the beasts at this time, because the beasts usually move from 10:11 to about 2 or 3 in the morning.

They also need to rest, and at this point in time, those beasts have already returned to their nests to rest.

Without the threat of the beast, Su Yu cleaned up the bonfire, extinguished it, and then adjusted the contents of the backpack before preparing to go out.

Her ultimate goal today is to kill the fire monsters and collect the Flame Stones.

But before she could do that, she needed to collect the twenty pieces of wood needed to build the rudimentary tower.

In order to ensure that the backpack has enough space to hold things, Su Yu tried to clean up all the useless things as much as possible.

In addition to the lord tokens that can't be discarded, but don't take up space either, Su Yu's backpack situation is as follows-

Backpack(7/10): Rope*4, Roasted Berry*14, Berry Juice*2, Stone*5, Stone Axe(1/100), Stone Pickaxe(100/100), Stone Knife(88/100)

Because he was in a hurry, Su Yu left here directly after finishing his backpack.

On the way to her destination, she took a slight look at the three small traps she had set up yesterday.

There is no accurate time for the harvest of the trap, if you are lucky, you may have a harvest in three or five hours, and if you are unlucky, even if you are unlucky, even if you have three or five days, ten days and half a month, it is normal to have no harvest.

In addition to luck, the human factor is also important.

For example, bait, such as where the trap is placed...... These factors can affect the probability of catching prey.

It had now been nearly twenty hours since she had placed the trap, and it stands to reason that as long as her luck wasn't particularly bad, there would be something to ...... As for what it is, I can't say for sure.

The destination of the wait is just three traps, so Su Yu is going to check the situation of these three traps first.

When inspecting the traps, Su Yu found that the first two traps were empty, and there was nothing to be gained.

It's a bit regrettable, but it's also to be expected.

It's worth mentioning, though, that one of the traps has lost a bit of its durability, suggesting that the trap briefly restrained a creature, but eventually allowed it to break free.

The durability of a trap is calculated as long as a creature hits it, it will consume at least one point of durability, and if the creature does not run away immediately after breaking free, but attacks the thing that caught it, then the durability of the trap will continue to decrease due to the attack.

Although it is a pity that the prey escaped, since this trap can catch small animals, it means that there is no problem with the position of Su Yu.

In order to improve the success rate of the catch, Su Yu adjusted the position of the two traps slightly, and then picked up some leaves and branches from the ground as a cover, making them less obvious.

A few minutes later, Su Yu came to the last place where the trap was placed.

"This is ......" Looking at the empty space without anything, Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes immediately began to scan the surroundings.

There are many ways for traps to disappear, but the most common ones are running out of durability or being dragged to other places by other creatures.

If it's the former, then there will be 0 durable 'broken traps' on the ground.

The broken trap is a gray quality item, which is actually exactly the same as the trap that Su Yu failed to make before, and it has no effect.

But since Su Yu didn't see the 'wreckage' of the trap here, it means that the trap should have been dragged away......

There are two other situations of dragging away, one is that the small animal breaks free from the trap, but still feels angry, so it wants to take away the things that trap it, and the other is that the small animal does not break free, but in the process of breaking free, it leaves the place with the trap......

If it is the former, then there will definitely be no traps nearby, because since the small animal has suffered a loss here, it will definitely not choose to stay in this dangerous place for a long time, even if it wants to take the trap to vent its anger, it will definitely take the trap away from here.

But if it's the latter, the critter trapped in the trap won't be able to get too far from the neighborhood...... Because it was still early, and Su Yu still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, she wanted to look around here.

As a result, this search really made her find a big surprise.

Just no more than ten paces away from the place where the third trap was placed, Su Yu found the remains of this trap.

The durability of this trap has been reduced to zero and has become something unusable, but next to the trap, Su Yu sees a rabbit that has completely lost its breath of life.

The materials of the small traps, although simple, are actually lethal because the inside of the trap is covered with many wooden thorns.

The damage that the wooden thorn can cause is limited, but the defense and blood of this little rabbit itself are not much, if it is not for the fact that it can't catch up, Su Yu can solve a rabbit with an axe if he does it himself.

In short, a small trap is perfectly enough to kill a rabbit.

Although Su Yu didn't see the whole process, judging from the situation at the scene, it was not difficult for Su Yu to guess what the rabbit had gone through.

First it strayed into the trap, and then tried to break free, but it couldn't break free because of the shackles of the rope, so it could only move forward with the trap, which is why the trap was not in place.

And in the process of its actions, the wooden spikes caused many minor injuries to the rabbit.

These injuries may not be much, but just like ants can bite an elephant if they have more, as long as the rabbit does not break free, then the damage is continuous.

So the rabbit was burned to death, just like the stone monster.

Although this rabbit is not big, it can provide a lot of things, Su Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to return the same way first.
