016, numb
Until the sun set, Cat Bass began to bite his tail bored. The ground suddenly vibrated slightly, and a huge figure appeared in front of everyone through the woods.
"Wow!" Uncle Erniu exclaimed softly, "This physique is a bit too much beyond the standard, right? I thought your description at that time was exaggerated."
Bai Xiaoqiu also opened his jaw: "This guy seems to be a circle bigger than when I saw him a few days ago..."
The tiger didn't know that there were a few little bugs peeping at him, so he walked back to the "bedroom" arrogantly, smelled the smell around him, and felt nothing was strange, so he stretched comfortably and nested on the withered grass. He snored loudly not long after.
From the moment the tiger appeared, Bai Xiaoqiu stared at it without blinking. When it finally fell asleep, Bai Xiaoqiu nodded as if he had confirmed something: "That pile of hay is indeed where it sleeps... It's really leisurely to be able to fall asleep as soon as this guy lay down."
The hunter uncle explained: "The monsters like Aihu don't have the habit of bringing their prey back to their residence. They usually eat them wherever they catch them. So they don't have anything else to do after they return to their nests, mainly to come back to sleep."
Shi Manqian suddenly said: "If you say so, we can set up a paralysis trap in the grass where it sleeps and attack it!"
"No," the hunter denies, "those withered plants have been in contact with resentment for a long time and are already very corrosive. Ingenious iron tools like paralysis traps can easily be corroded and ineffective." He scratched his head with some headaches, "This guy will sleep when he comes back, and it is difficult for us to judge its movement habits... It seems that we can only observe for two more days."
"Can't we set up traps in other places first and then lead the tiger over?" Bai Xiaoqiu asked.
Shi Manqian shook his head: "It's useless. This guy is very cunning. I and my previous teammates have tried the method you said. It didn't work once and they all saw through it. If you want it to step on the trap, you can only judge its course of action before it discovers us, and make arrangements in advance, otherwise you can only fight with it head-on." Shi Manqian paused for a moment and then said: "And the placement of the trap is best nearby. This is the 'bedroom' of Yahu. No other monsters dare to come over. In this way, the trap we set up will not be destroyed in advance by the monsters passing by."
"Oh..." Bai Xiaoqiu touched the bridge of his nose and suddenly said in a shocking voice: "I know where the trap should be."
"Don't make trouble!" Erniu and Shi Manqian didn't believe in the rookie Bai Xiaoqiu.
"Really!" Bai Xiaoqiu explained seriously: "When I came, I noticed that the woods in both directions of the northwest of this open space were damaged. It should have been accidentally scraped down when the tiger entered and exited. Do you all agree with this?"
The two of them nodded in unison.
Bai Xiaoqiu continued: "But this time the tiger came back from the woods on the east side, which confirms my speculation..." He stopped and kept it a secret.
"Stop showing off, talk!"
"Generally speaking, the animal territory is round, at least not concave from a certain angle. Now the territory in the east and west directions has been cleared by it, but the woods in the south have not been damaged. So we only need to determine whether the density of monsters in the east has reached the level of satisfaction of the tiger, and we can judge the direction of its next return."
"What you mean is that if the monsters in the east are already very rare, then the tiger should go to the south to expand its territory next. And if there are many monsters in the east, the tiger will continue to clean up the monsters in the east tomorrow." Although Erniu was silly, he was not stupid, and soon understood what Bai Xiaoqiu meant.
"By the way~"
Erniu thought for a long time and found that Bai Xiaoqiu had no problem with his thinking. Finally, he couldn't help but smile and slapped him: "You are so witty!"
Shi Manqian was also very satisfied with Bai Xiaoqiu's performance: "Good job! I decided to give you an extra dinner tonight!"
"Meow~~!" The cat man hugged Bai Xiaoqiu's thigh and rubbed wildly again.
"Low-key, low-key~" Bai Xiaoqiu said as she was low-key, but her tail was about to rise. After a long time, she calmed down and asked: "When will a tiger usually go out to hunt?"
Erniu thought for a while and replied: "It can sleep for more than ten hours a day. It usually goes out to hunt in the morning, and then comes back to sleep. We have nearly one day left."
"It's time to have time, let's find a place to have some food first!" Shi Manqian squatted in front of Bass in a plea, "Chef~ What are we going to eat tonight?"
"Meow..." Bass patted his face with his little paws, looking like he was thinking.
"Meow!" He suddenly had an idea, took out a board from his shadow, and wrote: "Cold shredded venison with wild ginseng and mushroom soup!"
Shi Manqian's saliva flowed all over the floor: "I want to raise a cat too!!"
———————————————————
At noon the next day, the group returned to the vicinity of the tiger's nest.
"I encountered 37 monsters in six hours," Bai Xiaoqiu said while counting the data on the notebook: "The density is still a little high, but at most half a day the tiger should be able to clean up the woods in the east. In this way, its route today should be to start east first, gradually approach the south, and finally come back from the woods in the south... Let's confirm it." He took the lead to approaching the tiger's nest.
Erniu approached the trees that were lying on the ground in the east, observed for a while, and turned to Bai Xiaoqiu and said, "That's right, there are two trees that broke only this morning. This guy is indeed heading towards the east, so the direction he came back should be the south."
The reason why Bai Xiaoqiu and the others ran a long way to calculate the density of the monster instead of staying in place to observe the direction of the tiger's departure was to prevent the current situation. The monster's movement range was very wide, not that they would definitely come back wherever they went. The current situation also proved that their concerns were not redundant.
After determining the direction of the tiger's return, the rest is relatively simple. Just install the paralysis trap.
The paralysis trap is a high-level trap created to deal with powerful monsters. It must be customized and it is very troublesome to carry it. Bai Xiaoqiu and the others only brought one. However, there are many advantages of this kind of trap. If you don’t mention the strong paralysis effect, the trigger range is also very wide. Now that the direction of the tiger’s return has been determined, you only need to slightly refine the general route of its return.
Bai Xiaoqiu couldn't help with this, so he threw it all to the hunter uncle to complete.
Less than an hour later, the paralysis trap was finally installed.
All they need to do now is to wait patiently.
......
When the sunset is setting again, Bai Xiaoqiu and others who have been waiting for a long time have gradually become serious.
"Prepare all the props!" The hunter uncle took out a lot of potions in bottles and jars of potions-
Antidotes to fight miasma (oral), a species of endurance to improve endurance and physical strength (oral), a deworming water that covers the smell and drives away insects (external use), and finally a soul-suppressing fragrance used to fight against ghosts.
Soon, the huge figure of Aihu gradually emerged from the woods in the south. The setting sun shone a long shadow from its side.
It seemed to eat well today, and while walking, it was picking its teeth with big claws, looking in a good mood.
But its good mood can only end here. When it was about to step out of the woods, a very strong stinging sensation suddenly came from the soles of its front legs. Before it could react to why the stinging sensation came, a numb feeling that seemed to pass by the electric current instantly swept across its body!
"Do it!!!"
