Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 92 [First Order] Limitations of Trap Hunting

Click…………

Two hours later, a frost wolf, lured by the torch, stepped into a trap in the snow again.

Unlike the previous time when Snowmane's bones were only clamped, this time Frostwolf's left forelimb was almost broken.

And because the Frostwolf sensed the danger, it fought back and escaped so quickly that its entire left leg was caught in the trap, pulling off a large piece of flesh and blood, and almost all the bones of the leg were exposed. The scene was quite horrifying.

Although the Frostwolf was agile and its reaction speed was even faster than that of the Snowmane, it chose to escape early, but due to the strong pulling and restraining of the trap, and Xia Hong's careful deployment in advance, it eventually died on the spot and had its blood taken by Xia Chuan.

Luo Yuan and his companions looked at the Frost Wolf corpse weighing more than a thousand pounds on the ground, then looked up at the sky, realizing that only half a night had passed and they had already harvested two prey. The expressions on their faces had become somewhat numb.

Hunting, when did it become so easy?

It’s not that they didn’t contribute, but compared to the previous time when Luo Ming took them out hunting, the danger they encountered tonight was almost negligible.

Both the Snowmane and the Frost Wolf in front of them were lured by the torches and stepped into a trap, injuring their legs and losing 30% to 40% of their strength. After another round of arrows, they were half skinned even if they didn't die. In the end, Xia Hong led the five of them and the prey was easily caught.

Moreover, when hunting the second Frostwolf, Xiachuan's white silk thread was used instead of the rope. No matter how hard the Frostwolf pulled, the white thread never broke. Judging from the time alone, hunting it was even easier than hunting Snowmane.

"With this trap, I will personally lead the team to hunt low-level frosty beasts. It shouldn't be a problem in the future. It all depends on when we can clear out the low-level frosty beasts on the periphery!"

After two consecutive hunts, Xia Hong has confirmed the effectiveness and power of the trap he made himself, and his confidence in future hunts has increased.

"Captain, can these animal traps be manufactured in large quantities?"

Luo Yuan's question immediately made everyone's expression brighten.

However, Xia Hong shook his head and slowly took the trap off the Frostwolf's leg. He then said, "The body and spring of this trap are made of the ten-forged iron I made. I used 1,200 kilograms of iron ore alone. It is not the same as the ordinary ironware made in the Rogue Camp before. With the current iron ore reserves and mining capacity of the camp, it is impossible to mass produce it..."

At this point, Xia Hong paused and continued, "Even if we can get two or three more now, we won't be able to use them."

When everyone heard this, they thought for a moment and immediately nodded.

Recalling the two hunting processes just now, although the trap played a big role, what was more important was the frontal blockade by these people. To be more precise, the fatal injuries of the two prey were almost all caused by Xia Hong.

So, strictly speaking, the trap can hurt the cold beast, but it is impossible to just sit back and reap the benefits. If it is not deployed in advance, and supplemented by people with the strength of the Digging Realm, the final result is likely to be that the cold beast will be seriously injured, and then escape with the trap.

If that happens, both your life and your money will be lost.

"So, if anyone among you breaks through the Digging Realm first, the camp can form a second hunting team with the help of animal traps. By then, the hunting ability will be greatly improved, and the prey harvest will definitely reach a higher level."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

They all witnessed tonight's experiment.

A Digger, a Trap, and a group of Woodcutters. Not to mention encountering unfamiliar types of cold beasts, at least tonight it has been proven that as long as you are careful, you can almost easily hunt the Snowmane and Frost Wolf.

According to the hunting progress up to tonight, not only can the meat distribution rules mentioned by Xia Hong be implemented smoothly, but the cold beast meat may even overflow.

Luo Yuan and the other eight people looked at each other, and then looked at Xia Hong. The suspicion in their eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only admiration and respect.

The seemingly fantastic rules for distributing meat.

It turns out that he was not bragging.
The new leader is Xia Hong.

It’s true, it can be done!

"Next, we'll have to see how many low-level frosty beasts there are out there. It'll depend on whether our camp can kill them faster or they spread out faster. I want to see if these frosty beasts are inexhaustible."

Xia Hong naturally didn't understand the change in mentality of Luo Yuan and others. He looked towards the depths of Redwood Ridge and his face became somewhat excited.

The two hunts tonight proved that from now on, the Great Summer Camp truly stood above the Snow Mane and Frost Wolf in the food chain. As for hunting, as long as nothing goes wrong, just focus on hunting the familiar few types of cold beasts, and there will be no problem in the future.

He now even has to consider whether there will be enough low-level cold beasts in the future.

The trees in Redwood Ridge are thick and the cold beasts are quite large. There are not many cold beasts lurking within 500 meters of the periphery. For example, tonight, when they came here just now, they searched and confirmed that there were only seven.

But this does not mean that there are only these seven in the periphery, it's just that these seven are occupying the area tonight. Although Xia Hong doesn't know much about the living habits of the cold beasts, based on the few species he has come into contact with so far, at least there is no such thing as settling down.

Normally speaking, those who have made it to the outer periphery must be the weakest among the cold beasts, but no one knows how many of these weaker ones there are in Redwood Ridge.

According to the meat distribution rules currently implemented in Daxia, at least fifteen heads are required each month.

It shouldn't be a problem in the short term, but if it continues like this for a long time, the area within the outer 500 meters will definitely be much smaller. At that time, we will have no choice but to expand the hunting range.

"Captain, two should be enough. Shall we call it a night?"

Hearing Luo Yuan's question, Xia Hong shook his head.

"Kill that golden-eyed demon sheep, too."

Everyone swallowed their saliva when they heard this, even Xia Chuan was no exception.

Killing two cold beasts in one night was already a fantasy for them, but Xia Hong actually had to deal with a third one.

It’s not that they think it’s unrealistic. Having already experienced the process of hunting two golden-eyed demon sheep, they didn’t think it would be difficult to hunt the third one.

The problem is, hunting three cold beasts in one night.

This is indeed a bit crazy and incredible for them.

If the hunting process of the first two cold beasts was still somewhat laborious, then the hunting process of the last golden-eyed demon sheep could definitely be described as simple.

The Golden Eyed Demon Sheep's attack method is extremely simple, which is to charge forward recklessly. Although it is much stronger than the Snow Mane, its strength has been greatly weakened after stepping on the trap. Facing the siege of Xia Hong and others, it can only choose to flee.

If Xia Hong and the others had known how terrifying the golden eyes on its back were, they would not have given it any chance and would have deliberately avoided it.

Coincidentally, the golden eyes on its back became the best target for the seven archers climbing on the tree, including Xu Ning, Qiu Peng, etc.

It is worth mentioning that compared with Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and even Xia Chuan, the hunting skills of Luo Yuan and the other eight people are obviously higher. This can not only be seen from the golden-eyed demon sheep, but also from the snow mane and frost wolf before.

Xia Chuan could still compete with Luo Yuan and others with his black knife and white line, but Qiu Peng and Xu Ning's archery skills were obviously not on the same level as Luo Yuan and others.

The two men obviously noticed this, and although there was some frustration on their faces, they were more obviously unwilling to accept the result. This could be seen from the fact that on the way back, they kept taking the opportunity to ask about archery techniques and took every opportunity to practice.

Xia Hong was naturally happy to see this kind of secret competition.

After taking all three prey and preparing to return to the camp, the temperature began to drop significantly. Knowing that dawn was approaching, everyone quickened their pace to return to the camp.

Coincidentally, when everyone returned to the entrance of the valley, they ran into Huang Yong and Hong Gang, who were leading the logging team to carry wood in.

"Chief, how is it going? Did you catch any prey..."

Seeing the leader Xia Hong, Hong Gang bowed and was about to ask about the hunting gains, but before he could finish his question, he looked up and saw behind Xia Hong. His mouth suddenly opened wide, and his face was full of shock.

"Greetings, Chief. This......"

Huang Yong also came over. He was originally wondering why Hong Gang suddenly stopped moving, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Ning, Qiu Peng and Zou Yuankai each carrying three huge monsters on their backs.

His expression instantly became exactly the same as Hong Gang's.
