17. Barbecue

The rabbit just now contributed a total of four small pieces of meat, which means that it can make four small portions of roast meat, and a total of 160 hunger points can be restored.

With these four servings of barbecue, Su Yu's food to kill the fire demon this afternoon was enough.

After all, when she killed the fire monster in the afternoon, the main contribution was the arrow tower, and she surrounded the passers-by who were watching the play, and at most beat the soy sauce mending knife...... If the building is properly arranged, she doesn't even need to mend the knife, she just needs to lie down and wait for the things to be collected.

……

【Get a small portion of barbecue*4】

As the countdown to the barbecue ended, Su Yu put the barbecue into his backpack and walked straight towards the depths of the forest.

Although she didn't know the specific location of the fire monster, Su Yu knew the approximate refresh range of the fire monster.

It is empty, the plants are scarce, the soil is dry, and there are only low shrubs with withered leaves and yellow leaves...... These are all features of the Fire Monster's spawn location.

In other words, because of the existence of the fire monsters, these environments are formed.

In addition to the above environmental characteristics, there must be a water source near the fire monster's lair, whether it is a stream or a river.

……

After some twists and turns, from the periphery of the forest to the border of the deep forest, and then to the depths of the forest, it took Su Yu more than an hour before finally seeing a figure of a burning flame like a walking on the other side of a stream.

The distribution of these figures and stone monsters is almost the same, three or three in twos, and there are also lonely.

Just behind them, Su Yu saw a huge cave...... It doesn't take much thought to know that this cave is the lair of the fire monsters.

"One, two, three......" Su Yu counted the fire monsters that he could see with the naked eye, and in the end, he found that there were thirteen in total.

The forest is very large, and there is more than one spawn point for stone monsters, and naturally there is more than one lair for fire monsters.

Under normal circumstances, about 15~25 fire monsters will be spawned in a lair, and the action characteristics of these fire monsters are that about half of them will go out for a walk during the day, and the remaining half of the fire monsters will stay in the nest to cut down the house.

In the afternoon, the fire monsters will go out for a walk, and in the morning, the fire monsters will return to their lair...... It's like a shift change.

Since the number of fire monsters outside is thirteen now, Su Yu can basically be sure that this should be a refresh point full of fire monsters.

The upper limit is twenty-five, thirteen on the outside, and twelve inside the cave.

It's not a bad thing to have a lot of fire monsters, at least not for Su Yu, because the more fire monsters, the greater the probability that she will farm flame stones, and she doesn't have to change the refresh points frequently.

……

After finding the location of the fire monster, Su Yu quietly bypassed the creek from another direction and reached the same direction as the fire monster's lair.

【Do you consume Wood*10 to build a primary Arrow Tower*1?】 】

Looking at the phantom that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, Su Yu's heart did not fluctuate at all, she decisively chose 'yes', and then placed it in an extremely empty position.

[Beginner Arrow Tower is being built, estimated time: 300 seconds.] 】

Unlike crafting items, the former counts the construction time separately, while the latter must wait for the table to be idle before it can continue crafting.

Therefore, after the first arrow tower was placed, Su Yu immediately came to a place where the trees were gathered.

This is the second point she chose to build the Arrow Tower.

Now, as long as there are others here, you can find that the location of these two arrow towers can be said to be very different.

One was built in an open area with little shelter around it, and the other was built in a crowded gap between trees...... God knows how Su Yu managed to find a breakpoint where there were almost no gaps to build a rudimentary arrow tower.

In addition, there is another difference in that the primary Archer Tower 2, which is built between the trees, is closer to the location of the Fire Monster's lair, while the primary Archer Tower 1 is located just above the line between Arrow Tower 2 and the Fire Monster's Lair.

In other words, Arrow Tower 1, Arrow Tower 2, and the Fire Monster's lair can be connected almost in a straight line.

In addition to this, there is also a detail, which is that the straight-line distance between the two arrow towers is exactly the maximum attack range of the primary arrow tower.

With the completion of the construction of the two primary arrow towers, Su Yu took out the fence he had made before.

Two of the wooden fences enclose the arrow tower2, and the fence gate is placed in the middle of the two wooden fences...... So far, all the preparations for Su Yu to kill the fire monster are considered complete.

And all she had to do now was to get the attention of the Fire Monster and bring it here......

Before that, Su Yu also did one thing, that is, he equipped all the twenty-four stone arrows in his backpack into the ammo slot of Arrow Tower 1.

As for why not equip Tower 2 with stone arrows...... It can only be said that the role of Arrow Tower 2 is not an attack from beginning to end.

The two primary arrow towers are necessary buildings to kill fire monsters, but only one arrow tower is actually attacked, and the other arrow tower has a special role.

……

In order to test whether this method of killing fire monsters is effective, or what kind of effect it has, Su Yu is ready to seduce one or two first.

In the case of only one arrow tower, too many fire monsters were pulled over at one time, even if she arranged them, the arrow tower still didn't have time to clean up these monsters, and the result was nothing more than an overturn.

Under the cover of the surrounding plants, Su Yu came to a location not far from the fire demon's lair, but not very close.

At this point, Su Yu stopped, because further on, there was no cover left—the scarcity of plants in the fire monster's lair was destined to not have too many tall plants to use as cover.

Originally, Su Yu wanted to use the axe to chop down trees to make a movement and attract the attention of the fire demons, and when they came, she hid again, and when the fire demons who had found nothing at that time would return the way they came.

Because these Fire Monsters have different positions and different movement speeds, you can separate several Fire Monsters that have gathered together by repeating this operation a few more times.

At that time, it would be a very simple matter for Su Yu to attract the lone fire monster.

But just as Su Yu took out the axe and was about to act according to this plan, she suddenly saw that two fire monsters were already walking in her direction.

Although Su Yu didn't know if it was a coincidence, or if it was because of what happened to the fire demon monster's lair, they came over...... But the knee-jerk reaction had already put her hidden in a position that the two fire monsters couldn't see.
