Chapter 270 Going up the mountain
After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a short rest.
After waking up, he tidied up a little and took Tayun out.
The weather is perfect today, and he is going to go for a walk in the mountains.
Yesterday's harvest was good, and he was ready to keep up his efforts and continue to search in the mountains.
Not too much, it would be nice if I could meet another nest of rabbits.
With Tayun here, he felt that there was still great hope.
There are usually no people on the Erdao Mountain side, and there are a lot of game there. Not only are they everywhere, but at least you can encounter them from time to time.
When he went there yesterday, he encountered pheasants on the road.
But the pheasant was more alert and flew away before he noticed it.
He only discovered it when the pheasants were flying.
But it was already too late by then, because the distance was too far, even if he used the throwing ax, it would be of no use.
Seeing that Zhou Ziwen was going up the mountain again, Tayun who was following him looked very excited.
Under Zhou Ziwen’s training, this guy became more and more like a hound.
On the way up the mountain, one person and one dog did not stop at Niutoushan.
Zhou Ziwen didn't stop until he reached the valley below Niutou Mountain.
He first checked a few traps he had laid out before, but he didn’t know if his luck had run out, and none of the traps caught anything.
With a thought in his mind, Zhou Ziwen opened the idle panel and took a look.
【Bajiquan LV8(72/800)】
【Dog Training LV2(176/200)】
[Trap Making LV1 (64/100)]
[Woodworking LV1 (6/100)]
After two days of idle time, my dog training skills are about to be upgraded, and I have some more training in my mind. Dog Tricks.
Zhou Ziwen has already tried these techniques on Step Yun, and the results are pretty good.
Then there is carpentry. This skill was upgraded in the morning.
Level 1 carpentry is equivalent to the entry-level level. It is impossible to say how strong the ability is, but it is still possible to handle wood boards and the like.
His requirements are not high. He only needs to be able to process the wood into boards of the same size and uniform thickness.
For such a simple request, level one skill is enough to handle it.
The last step is trap making. Although trap making has not been upgraded, after two days, he has gained nearly half of his skill proficiency, which gives Zhou Ziwen some more knowledge about making traps.
From his current perspective, the valley of Niutoushan is not a good place to lay a trap.
Although there is water here, this place is too remote. Except for the group of wild boars last time, few animals usually come here.
It was pure luck that I was able to trap a pheasant before.
With his current understanding of traps, this place has to be changed.
“Changed.”
Zhou Ziwen also had the temperament to do what he said. He dismantled several traps on the spot, then took the materials with him, preparing to change places and start again. layout.
Because of his increased skill proficiency, Zhou Ziwen's vision became much higher. Along the way across the river, he began to search in Erdao Mountain.
The terrain on the Erdao Mountain side is more complex, and there are more places suitable for setting traps. Picking and choosing along the way, he also placed several traps one after another.
Finally, he felt that it was not enough, so he simply used local materials and set up a few simpler traps.
“Using traps to trap prey is the simplest way of hunting.”
After setting up the traps, Zhou Ziwen marked them one by one, firstly to prevent others from destroying them, and secondly. Tell others, there are traps here. However, not many people come to Erdao Mountain usually. Even if they go into the mountain, they are usually in Niutoushan. He is just just in case.
After setting up the trap, Zhou Ziwen continued walking into the mountains.
Tayun followed behind him obediently, his ears twitching from time to time, obviously already in hunting mode.
But this little guy is still too young. For the time being, it's okay to look for rabbits, but not to do anything else.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen's dog training skills are improving. I believe that he will become a master of dog training before long, and Tayun will also be able to receive the best training.
Arriving at Erdao Mountain, Zhou Ziwen's progress was slower.
Although he is relatively strong and can react in time even if he encounters danger, he is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst.
A forest like this with no human habitation is equivalent to an undeveloped virgin forest. Although it is rich in resources, there are also many dangers.
Even he has to be careful when he comes here.
When Zhou Ziwen carefully came to a forest, he found a Cordyceps sinensis.
Cordyceps sinensis is called soft gold. Although based on his medical skills, he is not sure whether this thing has medicinal value or not, but since it can be sold so expensively, there must be a reason.
After that, he searched for the place where he found Cordyceps sinensis, and then found a few more roots.
Although it is not much, it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
After he collected the cordyceps, he made a new discovery.
Not far away from him, he found that a large piece of the bark of a tree was missing. It was obvious that it had been rubbed off by some large animal.
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly walked over and took a closer look. The trunk of the tree was scratched with holes, and there were a series of fresh footprints on the ground under the tree.
Although he couldn't tell what animal it was, the hoof prints were very clear.
"Mianyang? Goat? Sika deer? Tapir?"
A series of animal names flashed through Zhou Ziwen's mind, but because there were too few clues and his hunting skills had not been upgraded, he couldn't guess it at all. What animal left it behind?
But what is certain is that the animal that rubbed off the bark of the tree has not gone far yet, and the traces left behind are also very fresh. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch up.
"Tayun, come here, smell this smell and find it out for me."
Zhou Ziwen called Tayun over and let it work.
Tayun looked at Zhou Ziwen innocently, his tail wagging rapidly.
“It seems that the training intensity is not enough!” Zhou Ziwen shook his head and began to train on the spot.
Fortunately, Tayun is also very smart, and with Zhou Ziwen's guidance, he finally understood what he meant.
Watching Tayun sniffing the ground non-stop, walking towards the forest while sniffing, Zhou Ziwen followed behind him silently.
The ax in his hand was always in his hand, and he looked forward to catching up with the prey.
As for what to do after catching him, he is not worried at all. Do you really think that his ax is vegetarian?
The only thing that worries him now is whether he can catch the prey, and whether the prey will run away after he catches it.
After all, these wild prey are very alert and will run away at the slightest sign of trouble.
Although his skills are great, he can only blindly catch these animals if they want to escape.
I have to say that Stepping on the Cloud is quite impressive. I followed the animal's footprints all the way, but I didn't make any mistakes.
Zhou Ziwen also saw some footprints from time to time. From these footprints, it can be seen that this is not one person, but a group.
Soon, Tayun looked ahead and began to cry. Its voice was very low, as if it knew how important this moment was.
Zhou Ziwen comforted Tayun, then squatted down and moved forward cautiously.
When he walked in, he finally found traces of his prey.
I saw seven or eight gray-haired wild goats about two hundred meters away from him.
