The village chief felt very heavy because he knew that the hunting team was too small now, and there were only five people, but they had to get a lot of food, otherwise they would not be able to meet the food rations of hundreds of people in the village. These important tasks fell on the other five hunting team members such as Ahua, so he solemnly brought all the villagers out to see Ahua and the others.

"Be careful in everything. Be sure to protect yourself and avoid any more casualties," the village chief patted Ahua's shoulder and said earnestly, "Now there are only a few of you left in the village. If something happens to you, the people in our village will starve to death."

Ahua said solemnly, "Don't worry, old village chief, we will return safely, and we will bring back enough food so that we will not let everyone go hungry,"

The old village chief nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xiao Chen behind Ah Hua and said, "How about an outsider? Can you adapt to our life here?"

"I have adapted to the old village chief." Xiao Chen smiled slightly. After these days of getting along, he has regarded himself as a person in this world. Moreover, the villagers are very friendly to him. He also likes to hunt and make a living for these villagers.

The old village chief nodded and said, "You must be careful, okay, go, we are waiting for you to return triumphantly in the village."

Everyone nodded, then turned around and left slowly. They walked far away. No one in the village had left, and they were still standing at the entrance of the village and watching them.

"Captain, what is our goal this time?" After everyone walked for a day and a night, a team member asked Ah Hua.

Ahua said: "We only have five people now, so it is impossible to hunt giant monsters anymore. We can only find some simple little monsters to deal with," he thought for a while and said, "I think we should catch long-tailed rats. These monsters have a lot of meat and are delicious, and have weak attack power. Although they are group animals and like group attacks, as long as we are careful, the problem is still not big,"

Another person said, "What should we do?"

Ahua said: "We set up a trap, then lead all the long-tailed rats down, wait until they fall into the trap, and then kill them together, so that we can save a lot of effort and don't suffer too much loss. The food rations in the village are also settled. This is a way to kill two birds with one stone," he said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, so they began to walk towards a nearby mountain occupied by a long-tailed rat.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone first observed the terrain, then chose a very good place to prepare to set up a trap.

The trap they designed this time was the same as the trap last time. Xiao Chen frowned when he saw it. He said to Ahua: "Ahua, you can only catch one long-tailed rat at a time when you design this trap. The efficiency is too slow."

Ahua said with a bitter face, "I also know that this trap is too slow, but we don't have other traps. This trap was passed down from ancestors and we have been using it until now."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I know a trap. Do you want to try it? It is more effective and more efficient than this trap."

Xiao Chen's ability to make bows and arrows has already made Ahua look at him with admiration, so he thought about it and thought he could try it, so he said to Xiao Chen: "Okay, tell me your trap. I'll listen to it. If possible, follow what you said."

Xiao Chen nodded, he picked up a branch and drew a circle on the ground, and said, "Look, my idea is that we dig a large deep pit in the middle of this open space, and then install a lot of sharp wooden stakes in the deep pit, and then lay camouflaged hay branches and other things above this pit, so that we can hide our eyes and prevent those long-tailed mice from discovering these traps."

Xiao Chen said that everyone here almost understood. Ahua said excitedly, "Your method is good. If those long-tailed rats rushed down, they would all fall into the trap and be stabbed to death by the wooden stakes below. It would be wonderful."

The others were also amazed by Xiao Chen's trap. They thought Xiao Chen was such a genius and could come up with such a good idea.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I learned this trap from my ancestors. They will have many, many other and more powerful traps, but I only know this one, so let's just use it first."

"Xiao Chen, your ancestors are so powerful. This trap can help our village live a life of food and clothing without worries," a team member said excitedly to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's trap was recognized by everyone, and then they immediately started to act and set up this trap.

Five people took turns digging holes in the open space, and the other person stood guard and stared at the movements of the long-tailed rat, and there were other dangers. If it happened, he would call the police in time to let everyone retreat carefully.

After about a day, a big pit that was ten meters deep was dug. Then everyone started to make wooden thorns and stakes, and then installed them at the bottom of the pit, so they waited for the monster to fall and be blown to death.

The deep pit was dug and the sharp wooden stakes were also installed. Everyone began to prepare dead grass branches again, carefully laying them on the deep pit, and then carefully disguised them. At first glance, they could not find that someone had ever touched the place.

Ahua clapped his hands and smiled, "This trap is set up so cleverly that even we humans can't find it, let alone those stupid long-tailed rats. This time they are really dead," he said.

Everyone nodded, and felt that Ah Hua said was right. This time they would definitely be able to hunt many long-tailed rats to bring rich food to the village.

Send people to lurk around the trap, quietly waiting for the long-tailed rat to take the bait.

However, unfortunately, no long-tailed rat came to the trap all day, which disappointed everyone.

Late at night, everyone gathered around the fire to discuss countermeasures. Some people suggested to lure the long-tailed rat over, but this method was too dangerous. There were only a few people left in the hunting team, and there could not be more casualties. So this proposal was rejected by Ahua.

Xiao Chen said, "It's better to do this. Let's continue to catch insects and use them to attract the long-tailed rat to the trap."

"But the insects are so smelly! If the long-tailed rat eats the insect, we can't eat the meat of the long-tailed rat! It's meaningless to do this!"

A team member raised an objection.

"Of course I know this," Xiao Chen nodded and said, "The bugs will not be put into traps for long-tailed rats to eat. We can do this..."
