Chapter 30: A New Way of Hunting
Hunt, hire more kobold miners, hire more kobold warriors!
For three days in a row, Jia Zhengjin took Tina and his kobold team to repeat the same task continuously.
The ranks grew, and the kobold miners had grown to thirty. Ten loggers, ten iron ore collectors, and ten copper ore collectors; kobold warriors increased to eight, and kobold slingers increased to twelve.
With a total of forty kobolds, the base became much more lively.
The Kobold Lair has been successfully upgraded to Lv3, and a new unit [Kobold Patrol] has been added.
The kobold patrols are not strong in combat, but they have high agility. They run fast and have very far vision. The only function of this unit is to scout and patrol, and it can warn by howling.
When a giant python attacked the kobold's lair, the warning sound that Jia Zhengjin heard was from the kobold patrol soldiers.
To this end, Jia Zhengjin hired three kobold patrol soldiers.
Two of them were placed near the base and were specially responsible for patrolling. Once there was an intruder, they would howl and call the police to ensure that everyone inside the base had time to fight back or hide.
The other one is taken to hunt. The patrolling soldiers are more powerful than other kobolds in finding prey, and they can find some threatening large creatures and even monsters in advance. The size team changes the direction of movement to avoid them.
In general, it is safer with this unit.
Tina has learned simple daily conversation words such as good morning, good noon, good evening, eating, hunting, tired, sleeping, I love you, etc., and can have simple greetings with Jia Zhengjin.
The more complicated ones are still being studied hard, and the results are obviously quite good. If she continues to work hard like this, I believe that Tina will be educated to become a proficient Chinese sooner or later.
"Shh~~" Today is still going to hunt, and I am going to hit level 7! After three consecutive days of killing monsters, Jia Zhengjin's experience value was close to leveling up, and he could reach level seven!
The target this time is a herd of three-legged deer spotted by kobold patrols.
This group is a strange species that looks similar to a sika deer, only has three legs, but can run very fast.
Seeing too many strange creatures in other worlds, Jia Zhengjin became a little numb. To him now, the grotesque appearance of these creatures was less of a curiosity than a source of moving raw meat and fur.
Since the hunting team is already very large, the previous low-efficiency individual hunting method has been abandoned.
Jia Zhengjin asked the kobold miners to dig a large number of traps in a canyon in advance, and the hunting method is also very simple, that is, drive these animals into the traps, and then hunt and kill them all at once!
This kind of hunting is definitely faster and more effective than before!
The three-legged deer that fell into the trap has no way to escape, and can only obediently become Jia Zhengjin's experience points and a lot of resources.
However, the three-legged deer is a very alert creature, so it is absolutely not allowed to shoot rashly, otherwise they will completely disperse and flee in all directions, making it difficult for the hunter to know which one to chase. Considering their speed is very fast, they may not even be able to catch up, so there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.
Jia Zhengjin, who was lying in ambush on the high ground, observed calmly and carefully, watching every move of the three-legged deer group.
"Slinger!" He suddenly pointed to a position more than ten meters behind the herd of deer.
"Whoosh, whoosh!" A dozen kobold slingers immediately hurled stones accurately into the clearing he knew.
"Hulala~~" The three-legged deer group was frightened by the sound, and reflexively moved in the opposite direction for a while, and then looked back. After no abnormality was found, the slightly dispersed team gradually gathered together and continued to bow their heads to eat grass.
"Very good... very good..." Jia Zhengjin nodded, and then pointed to another location after the three-legged deer group gathered.
"Swish, swish!" The kobold slinger immediately threw stones towards the target point.
"Hulala~~" The three-legged deer moved another distance, and then continued to eat grass after confirming that there was no danger.
Jia Zhengjin used this method to patiently drive the group of three-legged deer to the vicinity of the canyon little by little, and watched them walk in along the canyon. Only at this time did he suddenly order: "The whole army goes out! Attack!"
"Ooooh~~" Eight kobold warriors rushed out from the bushes, raised their bone spears and rushed towards the herd of deer screaming.
"Swoosh, swish!!!" The kobold slinger also joined the chasing team, controlling the movement direction of the three-legged deer by throwing stones, forcing them to run towards the trap.
The three-legged deer panicked, and were forced to choose the direction the kobolds left for them, so they soon came to the trap area and stepped on the trap hole covered by twigs and leaves.
"Plop! Plop..." The three-legged deer fell into the trap like dumplings, and the scene was simply spectacular. Some lucky ones stepped on their companions and jumped up, only to be surrounded and beaten by kobold fighters, or knocked unconscious by kobold slingers.
Jia Zhengjin took Tina to paddle the whole way, just watching the kobolds hunt according to their own plan, simple instructions can be perfectly digested by them.
"Release those small three-legged deer and the doe that are about to give birth!" When the overall situation was settled, he took Tina to the trap area and directed the kobold warriors to harvest.
The little three-legged deer didn't have much meat, so it would be a pity to kill the doe that was about to give birth. But the animal pen has not been upgraded yet, so it is impossible to raise it. So the only way is to release them, wait for the fawns to grow up, wait for the doe to give birth to more fawns, and try to keep the number of this group from decreasing too quickly.
After letting go of the fawn and pregnant doe, the rest don't hesitate to order the kobolds to kill.
Tina didn't like this bloody scene, but Jia Zhengjin, who knew the dangers of the other world, asked her to use fireball to kill some three-legged deer. She has to learn to fight so that she can use magic to protect herself in the days to come.
Jia Zhengjin can't guarantee that he can stay by Tina's side all the time, even if it's only for a short period of time, if she is in danger, more combat experience may help her return to him safely!
Tina understood Jia Zhengjin's thoughts, so even if she didn't like this kind of killing, she obediently used fireball to attack the three-legged deer trapped in the trap.
When all the three-legged deer were killed, Jia Zhengjin was directly promoted to level 7!
He unlocked the crafting of the crossbow without hesitation, and then went down to touch the corpse, collecting raw meat, internal organs and fur.
Herbivorous alien creatures like this have a very low burst rate. Those who reported good things were usually more dangerous creatures from other worlds, so for these few days, Jia Zhengjin had nothing to gain other than some miscellaneous garbage materials.
