Chapter 15: Setting the Trap


After a day of rest, the unlucky Doug was able to move in the evening of the next day, but as long as he saw his sad and inexplicable face, everyone in the Brotherhood of the Airplane couldn't help laughing, on the first day of the trial, Doug who was squatting in the grass to defecate was stung by a scorpion on his white buttocks, fortunately, the scorpion was not very poisonous, especially after the "healing" of the "slapping therapy" of the Brotherhood, Doug was almost free to move after a day of pain, But the scorpion's moment, after the end, also alerted everyone, and everyone understood what it meant to "don't expose your ass to the air", fortunately, the scorpion was not very poisonous, just an ordinary color, if it was replaced by a mutated poisonous scorpion, if it was replaced by a poisonous snake or other poisonous insects that could kill people, Doug was probably already a corpse at this moment.

No one wants to be given such a blow from the ground or grass when they are squatting and defenseless, and everyone who woke up on the evening of the first day, because of Doug's experience, everyone went all out to build a toilet not far from the base of the tree house for one night, and Barry also sprinkled a circle of poisonous insect repellent powder on the ground around the toilet and around the dragon claw tree, so that everyone had no worries.

The whole day of the second day of the survival trial was also uneventful, except for Doug who was lying down to recuperate from his injuries, all the active people of the Brotherhood of the Airplane, using the time of the day, all took off their shirts and took turns to fight, one by one like little squirrels, all of them devoted themselves to the work of digging holes in the trees, axes, sapper shovels, daggers, and long knives were all used, and after a day of sweaty labor, the second step of the transformation of the tree house base was roughly completed, in the middle of the huge dragon claw tree with some hollows, From top to bottom, three floors were pulled out, and there was finally a spacious space that could sleep seven people loosely.

After completing the basic renovation of the treehouse base, after two days of consumption, the food piled together by the seven people was less than 30 kilograms, and it could support four days at most, and the pressure of survival came to the surface, so on the third day of the survival trial, everyone had decided that they had to find a way to get food today.

Zhang Tie was the first to wake up on the morning of the third day, with the recovery of qi, blood and vitality in the body, the biological clock in the body finally woke Zhang Tie up from a dreamless sleep at six o'clock on the third day, Zhang Tie who woke up opened his eyes and saw a trace of the knife and axe on the roof of the tree, after waking up this time, the crystal clear feeling in the brain came back, looking at the trace, I don't know why, Zhang Tie felt that he seemed to be able to distinguish from each trace what kind of tool or weapon caused that trace, in the past, Zhang Tie didn't think he had this kind of ability, could this be the result of the increase in mental power to make himself smarter, and his perception was more acute and subtle, Zhang Tie didn't know, so after being stunned for a while, Zhang Tie got up, and Zhang Tie who got up was in a good mood, because he knew that from today on, the fruit without leakage will begin to grow again, which makes him feel that life is full of hope.

When Zhang Tie woke up, this guy was still asleep, and the guy below didn't seem to have gotten up yet, Zhang Tie lightened his hands and feet, put on his clothes and shoes, and then put on his soft armor, tied his belt, and checked his carry-on equipment, and climbed down the tree hole alone, the tall and twisted body of the dragon claw tree, as well as the raised bumps on the tree, it was not difficult for Zhang Tie and people of their age to climb up and down.

Last night, it was Wright who was in charge of guarding the second half of the night, this guy held the "Iron Gate T21", his eyes widened, and he sat in a tree recess one meter below the tree hole at the bottom, and saw Zhang Tie climb down, quite surprised, "So early" "Hehe, the early bird gets the worm" "The early worm was eaten by the birds, do you really want to try it?"

Zhang Tie nodded, "Yes" "Then good luck then" Wright also gave up his intention to persuade, in Wright's opinion, as long as he hit the wall twice, Zhang Tie would still come back, and the miner in the survival trial was not so easy to be.

Zhang Tie waved his hand to him, got off the tree, and quickly disappeared near the base of the tree house In the morning in the valley, unlike in the city, the air here is fresher, Zhang Tie, who left the tree house, greedily breathed a few mouthfuls of the fresh air containing the aura of the plants in the wild, ran towards the stream in the distance, washed his face next to the clear stream where everyone took water, broke a branch of the water leaf willow to clean his mouth, and then drank two mouthfuls of mountain springs, ate a small piece of dry food, Zhang Tie took action.

Before going to recruit miners, Zhang Tie still wanted to do one thing, Zhang Tie already had an idea in his heart, but he hadn't practiced it yet, if that idea was successful, in the days to come, he didn't need to worry about food anymore, he had a lot of time to do what he wanted to do, after all, that miner was also a cover for Zhang Tie, he didn't really plan to rely on mining to eat.

When working in a grocery store, Zhang Tie learned some skills and knowledge of survival in the wild from Tang De and some pioneers, which could not be learned in school, including some ways to set traps and traps in the wild to catch prey, and after observing the environment of Wild Wolf Valley in the past two days, Zhang Tie found that some of the skills and methods may be tried.

Zhang Tie first cut a bamboo in the wild bamboo field near the tree house, took the cut bamboo and tied it together in two sections one meter long, and then when passing by a chestnut forest, Zhang Tie found a chestnut tree with the thickness of a duck egg, about three meters long, and cut the small tree with a multi-functional sapper shovel, after cutting the excess branches and leaves, Zhang Tie got a gun shaft, took out the steel gun head on his waist, and after the trimmed nails on the gun shaft were strong, Zhang Tie got a spear more than two meters long, With the spear in hand, Zhang Tie's courage suddenly became much greater, and then Zhang Tie followed his memory, hung two bamboos, held the spear, and ran to a place less than five hundred meters away from the base of the tree house.

Because most of the people in the trial chose to live within a distance of five thousand meters from the castle, in the past two days, the birds and beasts in this distance have been targeted by people, one by one, they have been chased around, and the bad ones have been killed by people, and it is relatively safe at this distance, and there are basically not many dangerous beasts, so Zhang Tie has nothing to worry about when he acts alone.

Before arriving at that place, Zhang Tie heard the sound of rushing water from behind the hillside, turned the hillside, a small river seven or eight meters wide appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes, the river was overgrown with weeds, and there were patches of reeds and aquatic plants, Zhang Tie's arrival surprised a few water birds in the river, the water of this river is not crystal clear, but it is clean, Zhang Tie squatted on the river side and carefully observed for nearly five or six minutes, and found that from time to time there are chopstick-long fish in the river will jump out of the water, and in addition to fish, There is no more ferocious aquatic animals such as crocodiles in this river for the time being, after observing for a while, Zhang Tie has a plan in his heart, and uses a spear to open the road, all the way to the upper reaches of the river, there is always a stream flowing into the river every other distance on the side of the road, every time he passes a stream, Zhang Tie has to stop and take a closer look, and finally shake his head in disappointment and continue to walk, after walking forward along the river for seven or eight hundred meters, Zhang Tie has seen five streams along the way, each of which makes him not very satisfied, and in front of him, The small river could no longer go down in front of here, and in front of Zhang Tie was a ravine and a cliff, and if you wanted to go over, you had to swim over or detour, just as Zhang Tie was about to make a detour, there was a sound of a stream flowing in his ears.

"Huh", Zhang Tie stopped, if it weren't for the fact that his recent mental power had increased sevenfold, making his senses more sensitive, this sound, he might not be able to hear it at all, the slight noise came from a very hidden place in front of the bed, Zhang Tie swept the ground with a spear to open the way, and behind the pile of unkempt weeds and thorns next to the cliff, the sound of the fine flowing water became clearer, Zhang Tie leaned against the cliff wall, and followed the ravine to the place where the sound came from.

After turning east and west, a few boulders stood in the way, and a pebble-filled stream, one meter wide, just enough to flood the foot, stuck to the cliff wall and the ravine, flowed down the mountain, and here merged into the river.

As soon as he saw this stream, Zhang Tie's eyes lit up, Looking at the location of the creek and the slope of the stream that joins the river, as well as the depth and quality of the creek, Zhang Tie gestured with his hand, and then his heart was finally settled, and finally the emperor lived up to his wishes, and this was it Sticking the spear in his hand on the ground, Zhang Tie took out the sapper shovel, took off his shoes, and dug up the place not far from the mouth of the creek.

After digging this small pool, Zhang Tie picked up the pebbles around the creek, and built a small dam on top of the pool, and then began to level the small waterhole to the entrance of the river about two meters of a section of waterway, Zhang Tie picked up all the stones and larger pebbles that were more than the size of an egg in this waterway, and then continued to find some fine sand and pebbles no more than the size of a thumb from the upstream of the creek and began to pounce on this section of the waterway more than two meters long.

Then the sapper shovel leveled and trimmed this small section of the stream in several places with large drops and slopes, so that the width of the stream was narrower, and the depth of the water flow increased a lot Zhang Tie tossed back and forth like this, and finally, he used a dagger to break open the two sections of bamboo he was carrying, turned the bamboo into thin bamboo strips, and used those bamboo strips and nearby wicker to weave a cone-shaped thing the size of a bowl mouth and put it at the outlet of the small waterhole he dug out.

When it was almost noon, Zhang Tie sat under a tree next to the stream, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked at the fruits of his labor in the morning with satisfaction.

In the creek into the river more than two meters long section, Zhang Tie slightly changed the flow speed and slope of the creek, so that the water flow more slowly, at the same time the water depth of the creek also increased a little, the original section of the creek depth is only between 5 cm and 10 cm, some places directly exposed a piece of pebbles, the water depth is less than 3 cm, after taking away those big, eye-catching stones and shoveling away some of the sand and soil of this section of the creek, now the water depth of this small section of the waterway is basically more than 20 centimeters, Above this small section of waterway, there is the deeper small waterhole dug by Zhang Tie, and below the only outlet of the small waterhole is the cone-shaped thing like an ugly pointed hat woven by Zhang Tie with bamboo strips and wicker, although the appearance of that thing is a little rougher, but it is the "gateway" of this small waterhole, the conical opening is facing the direction of the river, and the tail is in the small waterhole, its conical simple structure, Let it show the characteristics of loose inside and tight outside, and can only enter but not exit, that is, it is easy to let things into from the direction of the opening, and those bamboo strips are basically not stressed inside, and on the outside, especially at the tail, it is difficult to get anything more than a finger long from the conical tail to get in again.

This small cone-shaped thing is the key to making this trap work, and 20 meters above this small pool, Zhang Tie used those large pebbles to build eight small dams one after another, almost every two or three meters.

Of course, the role of these small cobblestone dams is not to block the water, but to create a natural drop, so that the water can flow down from these small dams, and play a role in oxygenation.

After the creek has undergone this thorough transformation, after 8 times of oxygenation, the oxygen content of the stream in the creek will inevitably increase greatly when it flows into the river, and some oxygen-loving fish will swim up along the entrance of the creek after sensing it, which is the nature of many fish, and then those fish who swim up will eventually fall into this small pool that they have arranged, this small waterhole plus the conical bamboo cap is a natural fish cage, as long as the fish swim inside, there is no way to swim out, In the end, I can only wait for my arrival.

This is the hunting technique taught by Tang De, no fishing nets, no harpoons, but the use of the nature of the fish, in the right terrain and conditions, as long as it is properly transformed, and then a small inconspicuous tool is compiled, so that the fish in the water can go forward and fall into the net one after another.

At that time, Tang De once sighed that this person is similar to a fish, the fish likes the oxygen in the water, and the person likes the wine-colored wealth, and the clever traps are all aimed at the nature and preferences of the prey.

The creek water that had just been tossed was still a little muddy, Zhang Tie rested under the tree next to him for a while, and after eating a little dry food for lunch, the stream water had begun to slowly become clear, and the noisy stream was flooded with a little splash, flowing into the river, and after a while, the dirt at the entrance of the river was washed clean, and when Zhang Tie was about to leave, he cut down a leafy branch, put it on top of the small pool, covered the small pool, and finished all this, Zhang Tie walked towards the Wolf Castle, and along the way, he used the skills he had learned before, using the elasticity and gravity principle of the branches on the side of the road, to make two traps to deal with small beasts and animals.

After doing this, when Zhang Tie came to the Wolf Castle again, the lively castle square made him dumbfounded:
