Chapter 696 Hunting Success
By the time the three of Zachary finished venting, the five hunters on the ground were already bruised and swollen, and they were in a panic.
For this, no one sympathized with them.
Just because these parasites are so hateful, under their influence, many prey that should have been easily hunted have been frightened away, and if there is a compromise, then even if there is a harvest, they often need to be rewarded. Some, in the end, the gains outweigh the losses.
Generally speaking, there are only three hunting teams in the outskirts of the Funiu Mountains. This is not unreasonable, because Rocco and others caused the team to directly become eight people. Although the harvest may be greater, But one point for everyone is not enough.
As for whether the income of Rocco and other five hunters will be relatively low, there is no need to worry about it at all, because they didn't prepare anything, and who would not be happy to eat free food?
This is like a lion on the African savannah. After following the antelope army for several days, he finally found an opportunity to hunt an antelope with great effort, and then a group of hyenas surrounded him, insisting on a share. Whether the share of the latter is big or small, they are actually not at all a loss. They don't have to bear the investment in the early stage, and they don't have to worry about whether they will be injured in the process of fighting with their prey, and then get inflamed, which in turn triggers a terrible catastrophe. Disease, not to mention the energy consumed during the period, just appear at the right time, and then get a share of the pie, which can be said to be extremely easy.
Therefore, the contributions and benefits of both parties cannot be compared on an equal footing.
It is precisely because of the behavior of Rocco and the five who are close to getting something for nothing, and the viciousness of harming others and even harming others, that the three of Zachary hate it deeply. If they find an opportunity at this time, they will naturally not let it go easily.
But they didn't really kill them. They were all hunters near Morey Castle. Who didn't know who? It's completely ashamed to see the other party's family.
After sending away the five hunters headed by Rocco without any risk, Zhou Xiaobo started hunting with the three of Zachary. The two-tailed fox fur can also make the three of them make a lot of money, not to mention that there may not be only one golden-threaded two-tailed fox here.
In the process of arranging traps, Zhou Xiaobo also learned a lot of skills, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of hunters' hunting methods.
"Beasts are cunning, but there are also some high-level beasts that are very vicious, so it is best to only move around the Funiu Mountains. Most of the beasts that appear here are low-level beasts, which are relatively easy to deal with. In this kind of Under such circumstances, various traps, traps, etc. come in handy, especially when the complete fur of the beast is needed, it is even more necessary to avoid the use of bows and arrows, because even the most skilled hunter cannot guarantee that every arrow will Can hit the beast's tiny eyes to ensure a one-hit kill and the integrity of the fur. Of course, most importantly, it will be easier to use traps."
Perhaps it was because Zhou Xiaobo showed his own strength, so the three of Zachary also put him on the same level at this time. While setting up traps, they also explained the key points to him carefully, so that everyone Zhou Xiaobo benefited a lot.
Although these hunting skills are exclusive to hunters, they will not be so useful when their strength improves, but Zhou Xiaobo listened to them with great interest. He felt that these skills might play a huge role at a specific time, but in the past, his strength was relatively high. The strong ones just don't care, while the weaker ones are unable to participate in high-level battles, or hunting,
So it was buried.
Of course, after all, it is a side-by-side study, so even if it is not used in the end, there will be no loss.
"So, will the spikes in this trap affect the integrity of the prey?" Zhou Xiaobo asked in surprise, pointing to the trap that was being covered with dead branches and leaves as a camouflage.
"Don't worry, the golden-threaded two-tailed fox is very cunning. They will never be fooled by these lowest-level traps. On the contrary, they can attract their attention and make them feel at ease. The real trap is that... yes , those webs woven with amber silk, in the wild, they are very similar to discarded spider webs, they are not easy to attract attention, and they will not make wild animals vigilant, but if the other party approaches, they will not run away at all!"
"You mean, the purpose of these traps is to block the walking route of the golden-threaded double-tailed fox, so that the other party has to get close to the net woven by amber silk?"
"That's right, that's what it means. Because amber silk is too thin, it is difficult to arrange, so it has to be thrown away after one use. This is also one of the main costs of hunting, but it is mostly used to hunt those who need complete fur and A beast of higher value."
"So that's how it is." Seeing the three of them quickly setting up a whole set of traps, Zhou Xiaobo only felt that his eyes were wide open.
These traps are one after another, and even some traps exist entirely to make the other party find out and lower their vigilance. When they are connected as a whole, they have a wonderful effect.
"squeak!"
The vast majority of wild animals need to eat and drink frequently, so even if they know the danger, they can't hide and don't go out. This gives the trap a chance to play.
And Zhou Xiaobo and the others didn't wait too long, just the second day after setting up the trap, they had a harvest. A golden-threaded two-tailed fox was successfully caught and became their prey.
During this period, Zachary also patiently explained to Zhou Xiaobo the key points of setting traps, such as site selection, camouflage levels, etc., and of course how to identify the regular walking routes of wild animals and their living habits, etc. In short, It made Zhou Xiaobo feel that even if he went out on his own right now, as long as he was fully equipped, he would be able to hunt something.
And he can be sure that this is not his own illusion, but that he has really gained some key experience teaching.
The reason for doing this, on the one hand, is that Zhou Xiaobo is a descendant of an aristocrat with a bright future. It is impossible for him to be a hunter at the bottom of Morey Castle and compete with the three of Zachary for jobs. On the other hand, because of the strength shown by Zhou Xiaobo, he easily defeated several hunters. He obviously has extremely high potential, and it is not impossible to become an official knight in the future. The three want to make friends with him in advance. From time to time, maybe you can also get a place as a knight servant, so that your nephew can get a chance to ascend to the sky. And even if Zhou Xiaobo can't become an official knight, it doesn't matter, his strength will only become stronger and stronger, and it is definitely impossible to enter the hunter industry. The current friendship is not only harmless, but will be reflected at a certain time. Great benefits come.
