Chapter 270 Going up the mountain

After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a short rest.

After waking up, he packed up a little and went out with Tayun.

The weather is nice today, so he plans to go for a walk in the mountains.

He had a good harvest yesterday, so he planned to keep going and continue searching in the mountains.

Not too many, it would be nice if I could come across another nest of rabbits.

With Tayun around, he felt there was still great hope.

There are usually not many people around Erdao Mountain, and there are a lot of wild game there. Not to say that they are everywhere, but at least you can find them from time to time.

Just yesterday when he went there, he encountered a pheasant on the road.

However, the pheasant was more alert and flew away before he noticed it.

He only discovered it when the pheasant took flight.

But it was too late by then, because the distance was too far and it would be useless even if he used a flying axe.

Seeing that Zhou Ziwen was going up the mountain again, Tayun, who was following him, seemed very excited.

Under Zhou Ziwen's training, this guy is becoming more and more like a hunting dog.

On the way up the mountain, the man and the dog did not stop at Niutou Mountain.

Zhou Ziwen didn't stop until he reached the valley below Niutou Mountain.

He first checked the traps he had set before, but he didn't know if his luck had run out, as none of the traps caught anything.

With a thought, Zhou Ziwen opened the hang-up panel and took a look.

Bajiquan LV8 (72/800)

Dog Training Level 2 (176/200)

[Trap Making Level 1 (64/100)]

【Carpentry LV1(6/100)】

After two days of idle time, my dog ​​training skills are about to be upgraded, and I have a few more dog training techniques in my mind.

Zhou Ziwen has tried these techniques on Tayun, and the results are quite good.

Then there is carpentry, this skill was upgraded in the morning.

Level 1 carpentry is equivalent to the entry level. It is impossible to say how strong the ability is, but it is still possible to handle wooden boards and the like.

His requirements were not high. He just wanted the wood to be processed into pieces of wood of the same size and uniform thickness.

For such a simple request, level one skill is enough to handle it.

The last thing is trap making. Although the trap making skill has not been upgraded, after two days, the skill proficiency has increased by nearly half, which has given Zhou Ziwen some more knowledge about trap making.

From his current perspective, the valley of Niutou Mountain is not a good place to set a trap.

Although there is a water source here, this place is too remote. Except for the group of wild boars last time, few animals come here.

It was pure luck that I was able to catch a pheasant before.

Given his current understanding of traps, this place needs to be changed.

"Changed."

Zhou Ziwen was a man of action, so he dismantled several traps on the spot, took the materials with him, and prepared to set them up again in another place.

As his skill proficiency increased, Zhou Ziwen's vision also became much higher. After crossing the river, he began to search in Erdao Mountain.

The terrain on Erdao Mountain is more complicated, and there are more places suitable for setting traps. He selected and chose along the way and set several traps one after another.

In the end, he felt that it was not enough, so he simply used local materials to set up a few simpler traps.

"Using traps to catch prey is the simplest way to hunt."

After setting the trap, Zhou Ziwen marked them one by one, firstly to prevent others from destroying them, and secondly to let others know that there was a trap.

However, not many people usually come to Erdao Mountain. Even if they go into the mountain, they usually go to Niutou Mountain. He did this just in case.

After setting the trap, Zhou Ziwen continued walking into the mountains.

Ta Yun followed obediently behind him, his ears twitching from time to time, obviously he had entered the hunting state.

But this little guy is still too small. For the time being, it can only find rabbits, but it cannot be asked to do anything else.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen's dog training skills are constantly improving. I believe that it won't be long before he can become a dog training master, and Tayun can also receive the best training.

When he arrived at Erdao Mountain, Zhou Ziwen's progress became slower.

Although he is quite strong and can react in time even when encountering danger, it is better to be safe than sorry.

A forest like this with few people is equivalent to an undeveloped virgin forest. Although it is rich in resources, it also has many dangers.

Even he has to be careful when coming here.

When Zhou Ziwen cautiously came to a forest, he found a piece of Cordyceps sinensis.

Cordyceps sinensis is known as soft gold. Although with his medical skills, he is not sure whether this thing has medicinal value or not, but since it can be sold at such a high price, there must be a reason.

Afterwards, he searched the place where he found the Cordyceps sinensis and found a few more.

Although it’s not much, it can be considered a pleasant surprise.

After he collected the Cordyceps sinensis, he made a new discovery.

Not far from him, he found that a tree had a large piece of bark missing. It was obvious that it was rubbed off by some large animal.

Zhou Ziwen hurried over to take a closer look. The trunk of the tree was full of pits and there was a series of fresh footprints on the ground under the tree.

Although he couldn't tell what animal it was, the hoof prints were clear.

"Mianyang? Goat? Sika deer? Tapir?"

A series of animal names flashed through Zhou Ziwen's mind, but because there were too few clues and his hunting skills had not been upgraded, he had no idea what animal had left the remains.

However, what is certain is that the animal that rubbed off the bark should not have gone far, and the traces left behind are very fresh. If we are lucky, we may be able to catch up with it.

"Tayun, come, smell this and find it for me."

Zhou Ziwen called Tayun over and let it take effect.

Tayun looked at Zhou Ziwen innocently, wagging his tail rapidly.

"It seems that the training intensity is not enough!" Zhou Ziwen shook his head and began on-the-spot training.

Fortunately, Tayun was also very smart. After Zhou Ziwen's training, he finally understood what he meant.

Looking at Tayun sniffing the ground and walking into the forest, Zhou Ziwen followed silently behind him.

He always held the axe in his hand, hoping to catch up with the prey.

As for what to do after catching him, he was not worried at all. Did he really think his axe was vegetarian?

The only thing that worries him now is whether he can catch the prey and whether the prey will run away after catching it.

After all, these wild prey are very alert and will run away at the slightest disturbance.

Although he was very skilled, the animals were determined to escape and he could only dart around blindly.

I have to say that Tayun is very powerful. It followed the animal's footprints all the way without making any mistakes.

Zhou Ziwen also saw some footprints from time to time, and from these footprints he could tell that it was not just one animal, but a group.

Soon, Tayun looked ahead and started whimpering. His voice was very low, as if he knew how important the moment was.

Zhou Ziwen comforted Tayun, then squatted down and moved forward carefully.

When he walked in, he finally found the traces of his prey.

He saw seven or eight gray-haired wild goats about two hundred meters away from him.
