Chapter 41: Pig Teammate
"By the way, what did that woman say to you?"
After Converse led everyone away and entered the jungle, he remembered and asked curiously.
"It means that if we lose, we can't regret it." Someone replied.
"Just based on one sentence, you expect us not to regret if we lose. How naive." The others laughed.
"Hey, hey, hey, do you think we're going to lose?"
"How is that possible!"
"With them, one woman, one useless hunter, and the others in chains, they can't move easily. How can they hunt? How could we possibly lose?"
"that is."
"We might as well think about how to divide the women if we win!"
"Why separate? It's better to be together."
"Alright." Converse interrupted them, "Although I only said that we will win, we still can't take it lightly."
"Spread out and look for prey."
Upon hearing this, the few people naturally had no objection. They all had experience, so they immediately squatted down to look for traces of prey.
"Brother Wei, there's rabbit fur here!"
"There are footprints here!"
Soon, they found traces of their prey.
Converse ran over, confirmed it, and immediately came up with an idea, "Spread out and look for the rabbit's den. Once you find it, set traps at the entrance and around it."
They don't have bows and arrows, so they hunt with just a knife. How can this work?
However, for them, there are always more knives to use, and there are many ways to catch prey.
"Look around and confirm which holes are connected. Set traps in the other holes and leave one hole open for the smoke."
Converse is experienced. Now it is autumn and winter, and rabbits basically hide in their nests. Find the rabbit nest and put smoke at one of the holes, and the rabbit will be found.
Although a cunning rabbit has three burrows, as long as they set traps at the other burrows, they will always catch a rabbit.
In the past, they were able to catch so many prey by relying on this method, which worked every time.
“It’s coming out! It’s coming out!”
A yamen runner was lying at the entrance of the cave, holding a burning branch and blowing smoke inside. A white shadow could be vaguely seen coming out and then going back in, apparently escaping through another entrance.
The others stared at the trap at the entrance of the hole, took out their knives and aimed them at the entrance. If the rabbit was not caught in the trap, they would kill it immediately.
Bang!
Not long after, they saw a white shadow rushing out from inside, and then the noose contracted, making it impossible for it to escape.
Converse was quick to reach out and grab the rabbit's ears, lifting it up. "Two and a half pounds, not bad, fat and strong. We're in for a treat today."
"Hahaha, finally I can change my taste."
When they came out, although they bought a lot of meat from the capital, after they finished eating it, they didn't know how far the next post station was. Even if they reached the next town, it would take several days.
That's why they couldn't help but come out hunting.
"We caught a fat rabbit in one go. We are sure to win this time." A yamen runner laughed.
It hadn't been long since they caught a rabbit. There was still quite a while left before an hour, enough time for them to catch a bunch of prey.
"Hahaha, that's right, a good start!"
"Xu Tian is clumsy. Even if we use our methods, we won't be able to catch the prey."
Everyone thought of the scene where Xu Tian tried to catch a rabbit but didn't even catch a single hair, and they all burst into laughter.
Converse also smiled, tied the rabbit's legs, and looked at the others, "Go on, smoke out all the rabbits inside."
There is definitely more than one rabbit in the rabbit hole.
…………
Compared to the smooth sailing of Converse and others, Chen Xue encountered difficulties.
"Stop it!"
Xu Tian watched a rabbit running through the grass, shouted to everyone, and then pounced on it.
Bang!
He flattened the grass, but the rabbit disappeared.
"Running away again"
Xu Tian felt helpless. If he continued like this, he would definitely lose.
When Chen Xue saw this scene, the corner of her mouth twitched. If Xu Tian could catch the prey, it would be incredible.
Lord Chen couldn't stand it any longer, so he walked over to Xu Tian and stretched out his right hand, "Give me the knife."
"What does Lord Chen want the knife for?" Xu Tian was a little curious, but still handed the knife to him.
Master Chen turned and walked away with the knife in hand. "We're doomed to fail if you continue like this. I might as well go and kill Converse right now."
Since everyone is gone, they don’t have to compete anymore, and they don’t have to worry about losing.
"Master Chen, don't be impulsive."
Xu Tian suddenly panicked. Although he didn't know why, Lord Chen was so domineering today, but no matter how domineering he was, he would still die.
He hurried over and hugged Lord Chen tightly, not letting him leave.
Moreover, he turned to look at Chen Xue, "Miss Chen, please quickly persuade Master Chen. Kuang Wei and his men are numerous and ruthless..."
Chen Xue sighed helplessly, "Dad, let's not waste time."
Lord Chen snorted coldly. He naturally had to listen to his daughter's words. He let Xu Tian take the knife away and returned to Chen Xue.
"How about this!" Chen Xue looked at Xu Tian, "Let's split up. This way, maybe we can catch more prey!"
"good!"
Xu Tian was worried that Lord Chen would act impulsively, so he quickly left with his knife and went hunting elsewhere.
After Xu Tian left, Master Chen looked at his daughter and asked, "You actually agreed to the bet. Are you sure?"
He never placed his hopes on Xu Tian, and he himself rarely hunted. As for Xu Tian's previous bragging about hunting with the emperor, wasn't this something that all officials above the third rank had experienced?
Moreover, he knew that his daughter would not do anything without confidence, and the fact that she dared to take on the task meant that she had a plan and was confident.
"That's right."
Chen Xue nodded. Her confidence came from the system. She had exchanged bait from the system before, and as a result, almost all the fish in the river were attracted.
So, she wanted to use the same method this time.
After all, hunting by normal means is really difficult for them. They have no weapons, no experience, not to mention a stupid teammate like Xu Tian.
"System, do you have any bait for hunting?"
Following Chen Xue's voice, the system quickly listed a list.
"Beast Bait: It can attract all kinds of beasts and is an essential bait for hunting."
Forehead……
Chen Xue passed this up without hesitation. To attract all the beasts, nine lives would not be enough.
After all, this is not the previous life, but the ancient times of another world. The mountains and forests have not yet been developed, and there are many large creatures such as tigers, wolves, bears, wild boars, etc.
If you really attract all of these, then you can expect a feast!
After choosing and choosing, Chen Xue finally picked a carrot, which is a bait specifically for rabbits.
"Rabbit Carrot: 10 Contribution Points (Fatal Attraction to Rabbits)"
"It's you!"
There aren’t many delicious wild game species that you can eat, but rabbit is definitely one of the top in terms of taste. More importantly, rabbits are easy to raise and they can raise a litter throughout their lifetime.
She caught some rabbits and raised them in her space, so she would have no shortage of rabbit meat.
