Chapter 2683 Hunting

While Meili, Tatanil and Lena were talking quietly, Jia Zhengjin was observing the situation in front, and according to the movement trajectory of the tusk rodent on the virtual map, he quickly set up a fixed trap, and then retreated to wait quietly.

"Is the trap set?" Lena asked quietly when she saw him coming.

Jia Zhengjin thought you are really not shy, not even looking at her, turned to Meili and Tatanil and whispered: "Don't act rashly without my order. My trap is set far away from the nest, and the wild fruits inside can attract lone tusk rodents. Don't hesitate when it falls into the trap, rush to the front with me immediately! Before other tusk rodents hear the call of their companions, kill the one that falls into the trap quickly. It must be clean and neat! Do you understand?"

"Understood!!" Without waiting for Meili and Tatanil to speak, Lena responded immediately.

The three looked at her and thought, what does it have to do with you?

Meili and Tatanil shook their heads helplessly, and then responded in a low voice: "Understood!"

Jia Zhengjin made a gesture of silence and crouched behind the tree.

The two female adventurers followed suit and hid quietly.

Lena hid near the three people, not treating herself as an outsider at all, and not caring that the other party completely ignored her, as if she was a participant in this operation.

All Jia Zhengjin could do was ignore her, hoping that the noble lady would leave on her own after getting tired of playing.

In his opinion, as long as he ignored her completely, this noble lady, who was usually surrounded by his subordinates and used to being the protagonist, would not be able to stand the neglect and would naturally leave at that time.

The more he paid attention to her, the more excited she might be.

Everyone waited quietly, and soon, a lone tusk rodent followed the track calculated by Jia Zhengjin and found the wild fruit arranged in the trap.

These tusk rodents leave their nests, either to find food or drink water, and naturally would not let go of the ready-made food.

However, it was also cautious enough. After deviating from the track and approaching the trap, it did not step on it immediately, but kept circling around the trap. Even if the food was close at hand, it was not in a hurry to harvest it, but kept patrolling nearby.

This made Meili and others who were waiting anxious. The three girls held their weapons tightly and stared at the fanged rodent.

Only Jia Zhengjin looked calm. He knew that after setting the trap, all he had to do was be patient.

Finally, after circling more than a dozen times, the fanged rodent could not help but jump into the trap and pounce on the wild fruit that Jia Zhengjin put down.

"Plop!" The trap was stepped on, and the fanged rodent fell directly into the deep pit. The wooden spike cover on it fell down, completely blocking the exit.

Originally, a pit of this degree could not control the fanged rodent, and it could easily climb up the wall by itself.

The wooden spike cover blocking the entrance of the cave was densely packed with wooden spikes pointing into the cave, piercing the hide when it rushed up, causing the big guy to instinctively retreat and return to the bottom of the pit.

"Quick!" Jia Zhengjin ran over immediately when it fell.

Meili and Tatanil followed closely behind.

Lena also chased after it, just to participate in it.

However, Jia Zhengjin arrived first and raised his iron spear fiercely to stab into the pit. Tatanil drew his bow and arrows and shot into it through the gap of the wooden spike cover. Meili came over and took the opportunity of the tusk rodent jumping into the cave entrance to chop with her sword.

The attacks of three people, plus the tusk rodent in a state of fear, kept hitting the wooden spike cover, and soon died of serious injuries.

Lena had no time to intervene at all, and the battle was over.

"Retreat!" In a flash, before he had time to celebrate, Jia Zhengjin turned around and gave an order, taking Meili and Tatanil away in a hurry.

Lena had just run over and saw them coming towards her, so she turned around and ran with the three of them, and hurried back to her hiding place.

Just as the four of them hid, a large group of tusk rodents came running and appeared near the trap, circling around the trap and making sharp cries at the corpse inside.

It turned out that the tusk rodent that had just fallen into the trap was terrified and called for help, attracting its tribe.

Fortunately, the tusk rodents had limited intelligence. Although they heard the cry for help, they only saw the corpse of their companions when they rushed to the trap, and they had no idea what was going on. After circling around for a few times, they found that there was no response from inside, so they gave up decisively and turned back to the vicinity of the nest.

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhengjin gently waved to Meili and Tatanil, and lowered his voice: "One! Let's change positions immediately!"

"Why do we have to change positions?" Meili asked in a low voice, "Just reopen the trap and move the corpse out, right?"

Tatanil and Lena also looked at the same thing, and their thoughts were the same as Meili's.

Jia Zhengjin shook his head: "From the actions of these fanged rodents, we can see that they have a certain intelligence, although not very high. But they will not fall into the same trap again on the corpses of their companions. Therefore, we need to change the place, and set it up again in an area away from the smell of blood."

"Is it so troublesome?" Lena asked in surprise.

Jia Zhengjin didn't even look at her, pretending not to hear, and continued to say to Meili and Tatanil: "Now, you two follow me and try to keep quiet."

"Yes..."

The three turned around and circled from the outside, turning to other locations in the circle formed with the nest as the center.

Lena followed closely behind, regardless of the fact that they completely ignored her.

After finding a new location, Jia Zhengjin immediately dug a second trap and set it up. After returning, he patiently waited for the second tusked rodent to fall into the trap.

As expected, after changing to a new location, the tusked rodent forgot what happened just now. Although it was still very cautious, it still fell into the trap.

Just like before, when the tusked rodent fell into the trap, Jia Zhengjin immediately called Meili and Tatanil to rush forward and killed the second one that was alone in a few seconds.

Lena was very depressed. She still couldn't catch up. She could only watch them turn around and come back after dealing with them.

The third and fourth ones were also lured into a brand new trap nearby for hunting in the same way, and they also didn't give Lena any chance. This made her particularly unhappy, and she thought secretly in her heart.

Hunt one more, and the mission will be completed! Still following the method just now, he moved to a new location, letting Meili and Tatanil wait patiently, and Jia Zhengjin went to dig a new trap and set bait.

Then retreat and ambush with everyone, waiting for the last tusk rodent to enter the trap.

Everything went smoothly, and the fifth tusk rodent required by the task was finally attracted, quietly approached the trap, and began to circle around the trap and carefully explore.
