Chapter 43 An unexpected surprise

By dinner time, with the tribe's population doubling and some personnel changes, under normal circumstances, they would definitely encounter some difficulties in terms of food at this time.

But Zhou Xu's current situation is not normal.

Don't forget that they just killed a spider monster a few days ago. As of today, the spider legs are still left, plus the fish caught by the Black Moon tribe in the whole day.

If you just want to get everyone who stutters, it's easy to do.

But this kind of life cannot last forever.

After all, the spider monster only has eight legs...

Once the spider legs are eaten, their food pressure will definitely increase.

In order to solve the food pressure, in Zhou Xu's opinion at this time, the most direct and effective way is to upgrade the fishing nets and improve fishing efficiency.

In fact, he had already taught the tribe members here to start upgrading the fishing nets the morning after he arrived at Black Moon Camp.

However, this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task after all, and it is too difficult to complete it in a short time.

Under this premise, the arrival of Zhuang Mengdie and others can be said to have brought a huge improvement to the labor force in Black Moon Camp.

But Zhou Xu had no intention of letting Zhuang Mengdie and the others help weave fishing nets.

The reason is simple, because when he inspected the surrounding environment today, he discovered a hare.

This made Zhou Xu quickly weigh in his mind.

Needless to say more about the idea of ​​hare breeding, from his point of view, it is definitely better to catch it as early as possible.

Based on this premise, the efficiency of upgrading fishing nets cannot be improved. Although it will affect the food distribution after the tribe's population increases, the broken fishing nets made by the former leader are still there.

The people in Black Moon Camp have survived on these broken fishing nets, and they can actually be used to make ends meet.

At most, the food distribution will be slightly reduced in stages due to the increase in population, but it will definitely not starve them to death.

Zhuang Mengdie's manual efficiency, even compared with the veterans from their Salt Lake Camp, is absolutely efficient. As for the novices like Black Moon Camp, they are even surpassed by her in seconds.

From the time I got here in the afternoon, after receiving Zhou Xu's order, to catching up on some work before going to bed, Zhuang Mengdie had already knitted three baskets that fit the size of hares.

This also has to be taken into consideration that it takes a lot of time for her to teach three new people.

Anyway, the matter of setting traps to catch hares can be officially implemented tomorrow.

Zhou Xu got up early the next day, and after handing over the job of muddying the stove to a veteran transferred from the Salt Lake Camp, he happily put on a trap and headed for the rabbit nest over there.

.

Their arrival will inevitably disturb the rabbits hiding around.

This was confirmed when Zhou Xu activated the 'Eye of Insight' to quickly locate the rabbit hole.

Because of their arrival, several rabbits fled back to their holes in panic.

But it doesn't matter, this is something that is simply unavoidable.

Ignoring this question, Zhou Xu locked the location of the rabbit hole, walked forward directly, and began to deploy their rabbit trap. While taking out the tools, he explained to the members of the hunting team beside him.

"Unlike when catching mice, for these hares, we don't actually have good bait to lure them into the trap. But unlike mice, depending on the size of the rabbit, it can usually knock down the branches supporting the trap by itself.

.”

While talking, Zhou Xu began to deploy a trap around the rabbit hole.

"So our trap deployment strategy must also be changed. For this hare, our traps must be based on quantity."

Having said this, Zhou Xu had already set up three traps with baskets and traps around the rabbit hole.

Make sure that as long as this rabbit comes out of this rabbit hole, or when it goes back to the rabbit hole, there will definitely be a high probability of touching one of their traps.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they may escape through other connected holes.

If there are enough basket traps, they can completely surround every rabbit hole around them with traps.

But now that the traps are limited, you have to gamble a little bit on your luck.

"You stay here and stare."

Arranging for one person to stare at this rabbit hole, Zhou Xu took the remaining traps and walked towards another rabbit hole.

He was indeed very interested in catching hares.

However, as a tribal leader, there are many things waiting for him to do. Now, of course, he cannot waste a lot of time guarding a prey.

Therefore, according to his original plan, after teaching the tribe members to set up the trap, he would take the first step himself.

Unexpectedly, the trap here had just been deployed, and the slightly excited shouts of the tribe members came from the other side...

"Caught, caught!"

All this happened so suddenly, not to mention Zhou Xu who was about to take the first step, even he witnessed the hare sneaking out of the rabbit hole, knocking down the supporting branches, and being covered by the basket.

The tribe member couldn’t believe his eyes!

After being covered by the basket, the panicked hare's athletic ability was undoubtedly much stronger than that of the mouse. After a sudden jump, the basket was almost overturned by it.

Fortunately, at this stage, the members of their tribe's hunting team were quite experienced. They rushed forward and grabbed the basket, completely killing the hare's hope of escaping.

In just a short time, he successfully caught a hare, which really brought some unexpected joy to Zhou Xu and also made a good start for the new day.

Zhou Xu grabbed the hare out of the cover, controlled his hand that almost broke the opponent's neck habitually, and on the way back, Zhou Xu had a hare in his hand, and his whole state was very happy.

As the leader of the tribe, his existence is undoubtedly the focus of attention of the tribe members.

Basically, they noticed it as soon as I came back.

No one expected that as soon as their leader went out with his front legs, he came back with a hare on his back legs.

Especially the original members of the Black Moon Camp.

You must know that their previous leaders, including themselves, were helpless against these wild animals on the grassland.

At this moment, I was filled with admiration for their new leader.

On the contrary, the members of the Salt Lake Tribe were much calmer.

After all, in their opinion, this is already the basic operation of their leader.

Originally, Zhou Xu wanted to wait until he returned to the camp before starting to make the rabbit cage. Unexpectedly, he brought a rabbit back from the scene.

There is no cage suitable for it at the moment, so I have no choice but to use a basket to cover the hare inside, and then put a stone on top to prevent the basket from being pushed open by it.

After that, Zhou Xu wasted no time and started building a rabbit cage with all his strength.
