The forest is indeed very different from before the little animals joined.
Various birds jumped back and forth between the branches, and crisp chirps came out of their throats, blending into a perfect sonata. Even the players who entered the forest felt a little better.
The originally intact and fluffy bushes now showed signs of being trampled and broken. One could imagine that some small animals had been running around here before, curiously poking their heads out to look at the players passing by.
If you are a good observer, you can always catch a few jumping and running figures while looking into the distance. These are timid animals that have heard the noise and are hiding from human sight. But there are also some silly ones who stand in the middle of the road, tilting their heads to carefully observe the faces of each player, as if wondering why their faces are not covered with fur.
Is he sick? That's really pitiful.
The woodpecker perched on the tree trunk, and pounded its long, sharp beak into the bark, accurately picking out a fat, tender worm.
With this kind of background music, Bai Li and his group walked into the forest with ease.
Yunyi walked in the middle of the team, looking around and constantly sharing her observations with Bai Li.
"Li Bai, we encountered the rabbit in this area this morning. It bumped into my leg and quickly disappeared into the bushes. I've already looked around. There's a big tree five minutes ahead. There's a big rabbit hole under the tree. The rabbit is probably living in this hole. When we get close, don't get too close. Get the tools ready and then go together. If you don't have experience, just follow us. Maybe we can succeed in one go."
Bai Li then realized that Yun Yi and the others did not rush out to catch rabbits on impulse, but had their own considerations beforehand and knew to prepare tools for catching rabbits. He just didn't know what tools Yun Yi was talking about.
He nodded and said that he could help when the tools were made later.
"Oh, no, no, March has learned the carpentry skill. If you use the skill to make tools, there will be a certain bonus. We have tried it before. March made a small wooden bow that can increase the accuracy of shooting by 20%."
As he said that, Yunyi took out the wooden bow from his backpack. It was a relatively simple style, but according to Bai Li's observation, this wooden bow can indeed be used for archery, but the arrows are not for sale, and players also need to make them themselves.
Sanyue put on the posture of a craftsman, pursed her lips and smiled: "This wooden bow is my first attempt, it's not good enough. I will make a few more later, the quality should be better."
"Sure, sure. You can make a few more later. We will be responsible for cutting some branches to make bows and arrows." Mo Dupi said, "In addition to bows and arrows, Sanyue, you can also make slingshots and traps. They are all handy tools that can be used."
"Let me do it. I can make animal traps." Yue Xun took a job for herself. "Another life skill of mine is also carpentry. As for animal traps, I made them frequently in the past few years, so my skills should still be good."
After a few words, the task was assigned, and Bai Li went to pick up branches with Yun Yi and Mo Du Pi. After picking up the branches, they sharpened one end with a sharp knife, and a simple bow and arrow was ready. The three of them were quick and nimble, and soon they had a lot of finished bows and arrows around them.
Seeing that Sanyue and Yuexun were still busy, Bai Li discussed with them and decided to find a few suitable locations nearby and dig some traps to see if any small animals would accidentally step into them.
"Haha! This digging of a trap reminds me of the weeding by the group of players who first entered the game. They knew nothing at the time and thought that weeding meant pulling out the grass by the roots and leaving nothing in the soil. As a result, they worked all night and dug a huge pit. Fortunately, the game maker came out to clean up their messes and avoided the end of a large group of people living in the pit." He smiled maliciously while touching his belly. "I saw the whole thing on the forum and became interested in "Your Farmhouse". The more I learned about it, the more I wanted to play it. Fortunately, I was quick to grab the game spot and was lucky enough to get it. My friends envy me."
"Hahaha, I'm almost the same. I know about this as well. Digging holes and such, if those old players were to do it, they should be more skilled." Yun Yi was also laughing, her hands moving non-stop, waving the shovel vigorously, and soon she had dug out a not shallow hole.
Bai Li pretended not to hear the words "wipe ass", nodded and said: "I didn't expect that everyone's understanding would be so different. Yaoxing and I were the first to enter the game. We removed the grass and put the house on top, and then quit the game. We missed this scene. But it doesn't matter if there is a misunderstanding, there is always a way to make up for it."
As he spoke, he took the remaining branches for making bows and arrows, cut a few shorter ones, and inserted them into the pit, with the pointed ends facing upwards, in a neat row, exuding an ominous aura.
Seeing this, Modupi and Yunyi understood what he meant in a second, gave Bai Li a thumbs up, and followed suit. After a while, the three of them dug several holes filled with sharp sticks. In this way, if a small animal accidentally fell in, it would be more difficult to get out.
Yunyi looked at the traps that were covered with weeds, dead leaves and a thin layer of soil, and shook her head with regret: "It is estimated that there is no possibility of keeping these animals that fell into the traps."
They were lucky not to die on the spot...
She said so, but her face didn't show it. Her eager look made Moduli feel embarrassed to watch, so he covered his eyes with his hands and turned his head away.
Ten minutes later, Sanyue and Yuexun had made two wooden bows, two slingshots, and five animal traps. As for the tools, each person had one. Bai Li chose the slingshot, and the five of them discussed where to place the animal traps in an inconspicuous corner.
It took a lot of effort to place the traps around, and another half an hour had passed.
Yunyi led the four people closer to the huge tree, stopped only a dozen meters away from the tree, and pointed at the hole under the tree from a distance and told them that it was the rabbit hole.
He touched his belly and put the slingshot on his waist. On the other side of the belt, there was a linen bag full of stones. He rubbed his hands excitedly and was about to go forward when he was stopped by Bai Li.
"Wait, don't go over there yet. I remember there is an idiom on Ancient Blue Star, called 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows', which means that a cunning rabbit will have several nests to hide in. These nests are connected underground, so that the rabbit can escape in time when it encounters danger. If this idiom is correct, there can't be only one rabbit nest nearby. How about we look around first to see if there are other rabbit holes?"
After finally getting the tools ready and finding the place, the four of them naturally didn't want their efforts to go to waste. Although this was the first time they knew about this, they were willing to believe what Bai Li said, so they decided to search the surrounding area carefully again without much hesitation.
The search was really exciting, and they found three more rabbit holes. One was under another tree nearby. The roots of the tree were covered by a circle of dense weeds. If March hadn't poked it with a long stick, she wouldn't have known that there was nothing under the grass. Another was in the gap between a pile of stones. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have known that there was another hole inside. As for the last one, it was by the nearby stream, between normal mud and wet soil. They found it because they happened to see half a rabbit leg sticking out.
The four people touching the belly: “…” What a cunning rabbit!
"Li Bai, you are so awesome, how do you know all this?" Yun Yi looked at Bai Li with admiration. In her eyes, the big boss filter on Bai Li became several centimeters thicker.
"Maybe it's because I prefer to read about the history of the Ancient Blue Star on the Star Network." Bai Li explained, "Not just history, I also like to read all kinds of stories and popular science knowledge from the Ancient Blue Star period. The content I read is so much and so diverse, so naturally I know more."
After hearing Bai Li's words, the four of them lowered their heads in embarrassment. They didn't like reading books, so it was hard for them to imagine what Bai Li said. They just felt it was impressive, and they all set a small goal in their hearts. When they had the chance, they would go to the Star Network to find some content related to the Ancient Blue Star.
Maybe you can even find a new way to play the game!
When seeds are planted quietly, they will surely grow into towering trees in the future.
Bai Li's casual reminder made Modupi and his men unconsciously follow his lead. Afterwards, they also chose to listen to Bai Li's advice, found something to plug the next few rabbit holes, and then returned to the first rabbit hole, collected a small pile of dry grass on the edge of the rabbit hole, ignited them with a fire stick, and finally used a large piece of leaves to fan the rising smoke into the rabbit hole.
At first, there was no movement in the cave. The few people were not discouraged. They kept moving their hands and continued to fan the thick smoke into the cave. After about five minutes, Yunyi, who was closest to the rabbit hole, suddenly had bright eyes and said quickly: "There seems to be a sound in the cave, and the sound is getting louder and louder. Dubi, Yuexun, you guys hurry up and get ready. When the rabbits run out, catch them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white figure rushed out from the cave. It probably didn't expect that there were so many people squatting at the entrance of the cave. One of them was not paying attention and rushed straight into the arms of the man touching his belly. He had an intimate contact with his belly and was knocked unconscious with a "duang".
He touched his belly and held the fainted rabbit in his hands, not yet fully reacting: "This... you caught it already?"
Why didn't he believe it? Rabbits are too easy to catch... They made so many tools, but none of them were as effective as a bunch of smoke.
Yunyi and the others were stunned. They swallowed and were about to express their gratitude when they heard noises from the cave again.
With the previous experience, Yue Xun didn't need Yun Yi to remind him, he just pushed his belly aside and waited at the entrance of the cave. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, another gray rabbit bumped into Yue Xun.
This was not the end. Perhaps they had discovered a huge rabbit nest, and seven or eight more rabbits escaped one after another. At the end, the others could not bear to continue fanning the thick smoke, so they slowly stopped. After waiting for another five minutes, when no more rabbits came out, they officially ended the rabbit-catching operation.
"Hahaha! What a great harvest, ten rabbits in total. We can have two each!" Sanyue said happily, and asked Modupi and Yuexun to quickly release the caught rabbits from their backpacks.
The two men did as they were told, and the ten unconscious rabbits were neatly arranged in two rows.
These rabbits come in all colors: white, black, gray, yellow, and spotted. The colors are very mixed.
"Ah, this is the rabbit that bumped into me this morning!" Yun Yi pointed at one of the snow-white rabbits and said, "I want this one, I don't want the others, you can divide the extra one among yourselves."
The point she was considering was that she was going to catch the rabbits to raise them, and she had always thought that raising only one would be enough. Now that they had caught so many rabbits, each person could get two, one to raise, and the other to eat? She was also worried that this way of distribution would scare the little rabbits that she had caught with great difficulty, so she simply turned a blind eye.
Seeing that she insisted, the others didn't say anything, and in the end the only rabbit left was given to Yue Xun.
After getting three rabbits at once, Yue Xun assured naively: "Don't worry, I won't waste them. When I get back, I will figure out how to make rabbit meat more delicious. If I succeed, I will invite you to eat together!"
Several people readily agreed.
The rabbit was successfully caught, but the tools were still not used. Sanyue looked at the bow and arrow in his hand with regret and asked, "What should we do with these tools? We worked so hard to make them, but we didn't use them. Isn't it a waste?"
Not long after she finished saying this, a large, colorful pheasant jumped out from a nearby bush. Everyone's eyes lit up and they instantly knew where these tools should be used!
Rabbits are not the only small animals in this forest.
