"If you want to capture prey in this deep mountain and old forest, the most important thing is to identify the animal path."

Saying that, Niu Yuan pointed ahead, "For example, this is a beast road." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ya looked carefully in the direction that Niu Yuan was pointing, but found nothing but the lush woods.

As if noticing Zhao Ya's doubts, Niu Yuan smiled slightly, and then leaned down to remove the grass on the ground.

"Look, here are the footprints of animals, and they don't look like they're big."

As he spoke, Niu Yuan picked up another piece of dung and rubbed it with his fingers.

"The feces are still fresh, no more than a day."

Then Niu Yuan told Zhao Ya in detail about the trick of finding the beast path.

Listening to these experiences, Zhao Ya suddenly felt that the rescue this time was worth it.

After all, this kind of long-term accumulated hunting experience is extremely valuable, and it cannot be bought with money.

Therefore, Zhao Ya listened very carefully, and would ask questions from time to time.

After Zhao Ya understood everything, Niu Yuan continued: "Finding the beast path is just the beginning, if you want to capture the prey, you need a few more things. ”

"What's that?"

"First of all, the materials for the trap, and then a reliable bow and arrow."

"Setting traps is a very deep science, even I only know some skins, I heard that there are old hunters who have been hunting in the mountains for many years can use ready-made materials such as old vines to set traps, but I don't have such a deep way."

"Because things like vines and branches can be used to catch small prey such as pheasants and hares, and once you encounter big prey, it becomes a joke, so it's better to make it with special materials."

"First of all, it is iron wire, pig iron wire is not good, the iron wire pulled out of wrought iron, the more flexible the better, and then there is iron tooth ......."

Zhao Ya took out the paper and wrote down all the materials needed, and then Niu Yuan demonstrated it several times on the spot, confirming that Zhao Ya had learned it, and then said.

"Then there is a more reliable bow and arrow, which does not need to be too big and heavy, because when hunting big prey, the bow and arrow are not used to kill with one blow, it plays a role in harassment and bloodletting, so as to gradually consume the physical strength of the prey."

"But the three people you killed just now should have bows and arrows on them, and you can use them directly."

After saying this, Niu Yuan looked at Zhao Ya very seriously.

"Friend, I don't know what kind of prey you want to hunt in the mountains, but remember one thing, this is a real place outside the law, and the real danger is often not wild beasts, but people."

"Also, you must be patient enough, don't act impatiently, and retreat when you encounter too powerful beasts, or even strange beasts, after all, only life is the most important."

Zhao Ya nodded and said that he had written it down.

Then Niu Yuan took out a skinning knife and came to the corpse of the giant deer and began to peel the skin and extract the meat.

His movements were so neat that the skin was removed whole, and the valuable meat was not wasted at all.

Zhao Ya watched from the sidelines, nodding secretly in his heart.

Even if he is allowed to do it, it is impossible to do a good job with this Niu Yuan.

No wonder the old hunters are all masters of knives.

After Niu Yuan finished his work, he put the harvest into his backpack and hugged Zhao Ya with a fist.

"Friend, there will be a date later!"

With that, he turned around and disappeared into the jungle.

Next is the touching of the corpse.

The three of them didn't have much money on them, but Zhao Ya found a lot of useful things.

Wrought iron wire, iron teeth, sesame oil-soaked lasso rope, fine netting .......

Basically, they are the materials needed to set up traps.

Other than that, it's a bow and arrow.

This hunting bow used in the mountains and forests is very different from ordinary bows and arrows.

First of all, the hunting bow is very small, and the bow and arrows used are also specially made, the arrows are cross-shaped, and there are blades sticking out on all sides, which are extremely sharp.

Zhao Ya packed all the harvests, didn't care about the corpses on the ground, turned around and walked back.

Although he didn't catch the prey this time, Zhao Ya felt that he had gained a lot.

After all, the hunting experience gained alone is worth a lot.

By the time we got back to Dancing Elephant City, it was already completely dark.

Zhao Ya followed a hidden route back to his home, and sat in front of the stove waiting for his drunken son to relax and quickly start cooking.

After eating dinner and practicing his homework, Zhao Ya went to bed early.

The next day, Zhao Ya did not go out, but began to sort out the equipment according to what Niu Yuan said.

The things that were touched from the three of them were very comprehensive, except for some consumables, all the things needed to set the trap were actually ready.

In addition, Zhao Ya practiced his bow and arrow again.

For today's Zhao Ya, archery is actually a very simple thing.

After all, after becoming a Second Realm martial artist, both strength and reaction speed are much stronger than ordinary people.

Soon, Zhao Ya's archery skills reached the point where he shot copper coins at thirty paces away.

No further away, no more than measured.

Because Niu Yuan made it clear that in the mountains and forests, thirty steps is the limit distance.

It doesn't make sense to go any further.

However, after practicing arrows for a long time, Zhao Ya found that the system did not respond.

It seems that the system does not accommodate repetitive training, and it must be systematically cultivated.

Zhao Ya sorted out all the items he needed, and went to bed early after practicing the homework he had to do every day.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Ya went out of the city.

Following the road sign left the day before yesterday, Zhao Ya soon came to the location where he met Niu Yuan.

By this time, the three bodies had long since disappeared, and there was a dark red pool of blood on the ground, except for some shredded pieces of clothes, proving that there were once three people here.

Zhao Ya was not surprised at all, he followed the method that Niu Yuan taught him, and carefully searched for the beast path in the mountains and forests.

"No, it's small, it should be the path that hares often walk."

I found a few in a row, but they were all denied by Zhao Ya.

After all, it took so much money for Zhou Zhang to enter the deep mountains, so naturally he didn't come to hunt rabbits.

Zhao Ya's target is a large beast, and if it has been alienated, it will be even better.

Finally, after searching for more than an hour, Zhao Ya finally found a satisfactory beast path.

"The footprints are huge, they should be the beast path left by the black blind man, and judging by the freshness of this excrement, it should have been walked this morning."

Zhao Ya's spirit is a lift.

Because the blood tonic is recorded on the bear's bile.

And the more powerful the bear, the better the effectiveness of its gallbladder.

Zhao Ya followed the beast path all the way, and finally found a suitable place, and then began to set traps.

For such a large prey as the black blind man, ordinary traps do not work at all, but will make him vigilant.

Zhao Ya directly used the most powerful double-sided four-set platform traps, and thoughtfully added sharp knives to them.

After arranging this trap, Zhao Ya probed around again, secretly noted down a few beast paths, and then went back.
