Chapter 26: The Hunter's Perspective

Dan's mood is visibly unpleasant.

After the first trap was unfound, she rearranged the trap and took Lindsay and Torch to the next place.

The result is still empty.

Same as the previous noose trap, or even more unlucky.

This time the huntress found a pit trap in front of the hollow of an old oak tree. In winter, many animals choose to hide in tree hollows to avoid the cold, which is a very suitable place to bury traps.

But at this moment, the thick snow still covers the surface of the trap, and there is no sign of the trap triggering.

This picture means that there is no prey passing by here at all!

“……”

Quack - Quack -

Dan began to crack his knuckles, making a crunching sound, and raised his eyebrows vigorously.

According to the previous winter hunting experience.

Even if the noose trap fails, the pit trap often doesn't disappoint, but today both traps failed in a row.

Dan originally wanted to be in the limelight in front of the two children, but now he has to accept the fact that he has failed.

She was in a terrible mood.

Next, the three of them continued to walk through the forest.

As a result, the last two traps were the same as before.

While inspecting the third-to-last footlock trap, Dan even stepped on the snow next to the trap, revealing the pothole inside.

This indicates that animals such as rabbits are burrowing in the nearby snow.

Narrowly bypassed the traps set by the hunters.

“……”

"Alright, eat!"

Dan's footsteps were no longer brisk, and finally stopped at the edge of a clearing.

With an unhappy face, she kicked the snow away, revealing a piece of ground to sit on, and it was already noon.

Children who have been trekking for half a morning need to rest, and at the same time, they need to eat to replenish their energy.

To make Lindsey and Torch a little more comfortable.

The huntress also picked up some wood on a rare occasion and made a fire to warm them.

Whew-

The flames were whirring.

Lindsay stared at the yellow flames in front of her, pulled out the barbecue and took a bite.

Then his expression became as bad as the huntress.

Although it was only one night, the low temperature of winter made the meat very oily and the taste was strange.

Lindsay simply found two branches to use as chopsticks, picked up the meat strips and put them on the fire to heat them slightly.

In this way, it tastes a little better.

"I must learn to cook, definitely."

Lindsay swore to herself.

Later, in order to alleviate Dan's bad mood, Lindsay accosted the huntress:

"In previous winters, did anything special happen to the hunt?"

Dan directly understood the meaning of Lindsay's words.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and a proud look appeared in her eyes:

"Boy, do you think that's all I can do?"

"I'm telling you, even though these traps are empty, I've been tracking the target, and I'm doing well!"

Lindsay was a little puzzled:

"We're tracking a target?"

Dan pulled out the cork of the kettle and took a sip before pointing to the dense woods in front of him:

"The skill of a hunter."

"The route we have traveled all the way has actually been making minor adjustments, and there are a few traps that I haven't checked yet, just to catch the thief who snatched my prey!"

Lindsey immediately remembered the first noose trap.

Animals in the wild, if they are hit by the noose, it is difficult to get out of it on their own.

Coupled with the marks of the rope being bitten off, and the blood spilled, he immediately understood the meaning of the huntress's words:

"We're tracking the animal that stole the prey from the noose trap?"

Dan nodded:

"Who else could it be?"

As Dan answered, Lindsey turned her head and looked around.

In the forest after the heavy snowfall, some traces of animal activity can indeed be seen.

However, it is difficult to distinguish the time of these footprints, and the footprints will suddenly disappear as the terrain changes.

In such a messy track, it can be difficult to find a beast that has stolen its prey. Not to mention the entire process of winter hunting, I have never seen Dan spend time on these footprints.

The only explanation could be the skill of the Awakened.

"Or I don't know it clearly enough."

Lindsay sighed silently, adjusting her own concept in her heart.

The habitual thinking brought about by his previous life made him still think about things according to the thinking patterns of the past.

But the world is very different.

Dan's performance didn't seem to be anything special, but he taught Lindsay a lesson with his own skills.

Everything that happens to this world.

It must not be viewed with ordinary eyes, but the transcendent factor of the Awakened must be taken into account.

"Hahaha-"

Lindsay, a child here was thinking seriously, and the huntress who had finished lunch couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

On the contrary, there was a torch next to him who was roasting meat on the fire, and opened his mouth to explain to Lindsay:

"Mom's skills have been sublimated three times."

"Even without these footprints in the snow, she can find her prey accurately."

At this time, Dan, who was still laughing, pointed to his eyes:

"In my eyes, every footprint, every fallen leaf, every dead branch on the forest floor constitutes a complete and clear route. As long as it's not a month or two after the time passes. No prey can escape these eyes! ”

Just then, the huntress suddenly raised an eyebrow.

She jerked her head to look east, and Lindsay followed, only to see the white expanse of the forest.

"What's wrong?"

Lindsay asked, confused.

But the huntress did not say a word, she took her bow and arrow directly from her back, pulled it open and fired.

Whoosh –

Just like outside the church before.

Lindsay could only hear the sound of arrows being fired, and couldn't even see where they landed.

But the huntress got up confidently and walked straight in the direction where she had shot the arrow.

"You wait here, I'll go get something."

Dan didn't stay away for long.

A few minutes later, a fluffy white fox was carried back by the huntress by the neck.

The arrow had pierced the animal's neck with a terrible wound that had taken its life almost instantly.

"See what I caught?"

Dan grabbed the fox in his hand and shook it in front of Lindsay and Torch like a treasure.

The fox's plush tail flutters from side to side, like a huge pom-pom, which is used by the huntress to tease the two children.

Lindsay, of course, was not interested in this, and he did not bother with the huntress at all.

Dan is not obsessed, so he simply teases his own child.

When she was tired of playing, she stuffed the fox into her backpack and continued to instruct Lindsay and Torch:

"Get up, warm up first, and then let's continue our journey."

Dan kicked out the lit bonfire with a single kick, his movements light and smooth, and he still had a big smile on his face.

Lindsey didn't even have to look at Dan's expression.

Just from her voice now, you could tell that the huntress was in a good mood.
