Chapter 125: Preparation
"What's wrong. Seeing Flower's appearance, several people put down their things in their hands, and their hearts tightened.
It's been a long time, and I've encountered some wild boars and other large prey, and I've encountered black bears, but I've never seen Flower so panicked.
He followed Flower into the woods and came to a large tree, where he saw many large paw prints on the trunk.
Jia Yi took his hand up and gestured, and it was a round bigger than his hand. On closer inspection, the paw prints do not appear to be from the same time, some have dried up, but some of the paw prints show that the bark is still fresh.
Flower pointed to another tree: "Not only here, but also on other trees. ”
Everyone looked around, and there were about 4 or 5 trees with paw prints, these paw prints were different from old to new, criss-crossed, and not exactly in one direction, as if a person had opened his bow left and right and scratched it.
Jia Yi asked, "Teacher, can you see what it is? Judging from this paw print, it's not small, and besides, these paw prints seem to be caught upright, like a big cat?"
A kind of mirror image came to his mind, a super big feline, idle and bored at night, standing under a tree, left and right, scratching and playing with the tree, or grinding its claws on the tree, and then going to disembowel the prey. Of course, it is also possible to "wipe your hands" on the tree after eating.
Imu looked around vigilantly, released a warning magic, and said, "Fortunately, it's not around now, this may be a fierce beast like a leopard, but I didn't sense the breath that belongs to the demonic beast." But the behavior of such a large beast grinding its claws on the trunk of a tree is not like an ordinary beast. No wonder the neighborhood is so quiet, not even a pheasant or anything else. ”
"So, teacher, shall we change places?" asked Flower.
To be honest here, Imu is the only one who has combat power, and the rest are basically drag oil bottles, although Raul is tall and big, but at most he acts as a melee warrior, but unfortunately there is no sword. It's no wonder that Flower is worried.
"No, both large beasts and demonic beasts are very smart, and it is easy to be attacked if you leave in a hurry. The most feared thing is the Warcraft, the attack is too strong, although there is no residual magic of the Warcraft detected here, but it is not certain that there will be no Warcraft. ”
Im rejected Flower's proposal and continued: "Let's go back, set up the camp, set up more traps, we have a lot of people, we still have crossbows in our hands, don't be too afraid." There can't be any too powerful monsters here. ”
"Okay, teacher!" several students said in unison.
They came out this time just to see the Warcraft, and it was impossible to be scared away without seeing what it was, so there was no point.
Back at the camp, Im began to unleash vigilance magic and set up a vigilance magic circle. Jia Yi learned from his father and arranged some mechanisms, because the camping place was all stones, and he was going to lay traps, but he couldn't dig them, so he had to do the calculations.
Because of the possible existence of the monster ring, it is not good to disperse and go out hunting, and it probably entered its territory, and there is no prey in the attachment. However, fortunately, there are a lot of fish in the pool, and dinner has also been settled, so there is no need to use the stored bread.
And the dry bread is not good either.
The group split into two groups, with Flower and Jia Yi going to catch fish, and Imu and Dale looking for some wild vegetables or something.
The fish here should be caught by few animals or people, and they are relatively stupid, swimming leisurely in the pool water, and they don't run when Jia Yi stands on the side of Tan.
Jiayi took out a roll of fine twine, which was originally intended for fishing, and now it is just right. But he wasn't going to fish, it was too slow. He tied the line directly to the arrow, ready to shoot the fish with the arrow.
"Let's compete and see who shoots the most. Seeing that both of them were tied up, Jia Yi took the lead in speaking.
With archery alone, Jia Yi can't compare to Flower, how to say that Flower is also half professional, although they use crossbow arrows. However, the crossbow used now, and the string tied to it, plus the fish in the water, have more influencing factors, and Flower's professional knowledge of archery is likely to become an obstacle.
"Have you won?" said Flower disdainfully, and as he said that, he drew his crossbow, wound it, and shot it at the fish in the pool.
And rightfully so, no shot. He had never fished with an arrow or harpoon, and he did not know that water would refract and that the fish was actually below where he thought it was. Jia Yi also bullied him for not knowing this, so he thought about trying to compete with him.
Kaichi tied the thread to his wrist, picked up his crossbow and began to shoot fish.
The fish here are stupid, but when an arrow is shot into it, they will run around. Neither of them missed, and the fish ran out, but not far, just nearby.
But it didn't take long, only two or three arrows later, to shoot the fish.
He pulled the string over the fish and boasted to Flower: "Look, I shot first, 1-0." ”
"Shit luck, I'll shoot right away. With that, Flower took a few more steps to the side, and moved a little further away from Degar.
Kaichi removed a rattan, threaded the fish, and led it.
This fish Jiayi didn't know, he was white and fat, his belly was very fat, and his back was gray-black. Although I don't know how it tastes, at least it's not small, and a few more will be enough for dinner.
The two gradually drifted apart, and Flower slowly mastered the trick and began to catch the fish.
Kaichi caught another fish, took a few steps to the side, and continued his search.
He hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly made a thud, and it seemed as if he had hit something in his foot. He looked down and saw that it was a yellowed bone.
Suddenly, seeing this, Jia took two steps back in his consciousness and raised his crossbow to alert.
"Flower, Flower, come and see, there are bones here. Kaichi shouted quietly, as if he was afraid that the murderer was lurking around.
Jia Yi looked closely, I don't know what this bone is, but it is definitely not human, and this bone is a little too big compared to a human and does not fit the proportion. This bone should have been a few days, but not too long.
The flesh and blood stains on it are gone, but they still look moist, it shouldn't be too long, Jia Yi can only analyze it here, and more information can only be seen by the forensic doctor he studied in his previous life.
"What's wrong?" said Flor as he came to Kaichi's side, "Bones, is it possible that our big cat is eating here?"
"I don't know, there's still one ahead. The fish is almost there, let's go and bring it back for the teacher to see, be careful. ”
"Let's go!" With that, Flower picked up two bones and walked towards the camp.
When they arrived at the camp, they had not yet returned, and Jia began to disembowel, ready to serve the fish.
He took out the seasoning from his school bag: "This time we eat spicy food to refresh yourself." ”
Flower looked over, and when he saw the thing in his hand, he exclaimed, "Devil grass, Jiayi, you still came with this." ”
"Of course, I brought all the spices with me, and the chili peppers were certainly not a surprise. There was smugness in Jiayi's tone.
The chili pepper in his mouth and the devil grass that Flor said were the same thing, similar to chili peppers, but not the same as those on earth. This pepper is about the size of a lantern bubble, it is yellow, and it is very spicy, much spicier than Chaotian pepper.
The chili seeds were bought when Imu was selling his home-made potions in the early days, and there were some other vegetable seeds mixed in with them.
When it was planted, he didn't know what kind of fruit it was, he thought it was a fruit, so he picked one directly and threw it in his mouth.
Although he couldn't stand the spicy, he was still very happy at the time, and after having chili peppers, the dishes he made were much more colorful. It's just that this pepper is yellow, and it's not as good as the red pepper on the earth.
Over the years, Imu has been buying new vegetable seeds or other vegetables to grow, and now their vegetable garden has a variety of vegetables, such as cabbage, turnips, cucumbers, carrots, water celery, leeks, kale, tomatoes, pumpkins, lettuce, garlic, amaranth, beets, artichokes, etc.
Especially with the greenhouse, there is no shortage of vegetables to eat in winter. These vegetables are slowly radiating to other people's homes, and many families around the town have grown one or more of these vegetables.
