Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 21 Trap Enhancement
After dinner, Jiang Yue took Xiaotian home.

Xiaotian ran into the doghouse. Perhaps because he had completed the tracking mission brilliantly, or perhaps because he had killed someone with his master Jiang Yue today, Xiaotian was very happy.

Jiang Yue returned to the room, sat on the bed and opened the magical panel.

Jiang Yue looked at his panel and found that the progress of the fate column had reached 20%, which was a good improvement.

When your destiny reaches 100%, you will be able to unlock another magical power.

Jiang Yue has a deep understanding of the power of supernatural powers.

As for the essence of life, 5 points have been accumulated. When it reaches 10 points, Xiaotian can evolve once. Half of it has been completed, and the other half will be accumulated soon.

"Divine Seal, help me upgrade the 'trap'. It will take three years."

Jiang Yue still habitually wasted three years.

[Three years of time spent on deducing martial arts "traps"]

[In your first year, you set foot into the woods, determined to improve your trap-setting skills.

You first ponder and analyze the structure of the trap. After a month, you suddenly have an idea and realize that if you want to become a trap master, the most important thing is to be familiar with the habits of animals!
This year, you traveled through the mountains and forests every day, carefully observing the footprints and habits of animals, and learned in detail what they like to eat and what roads they like to take.
For a whole year, you have been studying the habits of various animals, and you have learned the habits of the small animals commonly found in the mountains and forests. 】

[The second year.]

You begin to try to build a simple lasso trap using branches and ropes, but you often fail at first because the prey can easily escape.

But you are not discouraged. You keep summing up your experience and carefully analyze the reasons after each failure. You adjust the position of the trap and the tightness of the rope. Slowly, you begin to have small harvests, such as a rabbit or a pheasant, which gives you hope for progress.

As you gain experience, you no longer settle for simple traps.

You begin working on more complex gravity-triggered traps, using rocks and sticks to create rockfall traps.

This year you spent a lot of time looking for the right location and carefully calculating the weight of the stone and the angle of its fall.

Sometimes you will be hit by falling rocks, but you grit your teeth and keep going.

Gradually, you can successfully capture some medium-sized prey, such as foxes and lynxes, but you can never trap large prey. You gradually understand that this is because of the defects of the materials! 】

[In the third year, you wandered through the mountains and forests again, looking for various plant materials and animal materials.

You discovered that the mucus in pitcher plants can be used in traps to trap animals. You discovered that wild boar tusks can be used as spikes. You discovered that birch wood is extremely tough and is a good material for making animal cages.
This year, you have developed a systematic understanding of the many natural materials in the mountains and utilized them in your trapping skills.

Your trap technology has finally received a huge improvement!

Even large prey can't escape your trap! 】

[End of deduction]

[Trap (lv4)]

The deduction was over, and the panel seemed to be spreading like ripples, gradually dissipating and disappearing from Jiang Yue's sight.

The moon passed the zenith in the sky, and in reality, only a moment had passed. But Jiang Yue felt as if he had experienced three years.

The experiences of these three years were deeply engraved in his mind like a brand.

“So that’s how it is”

Jiang Yue understood a little and murmured, "Traps are divided into techniques and materials. Making traps is called techniques, and the materials of traps are called materials. The materials are the most important. Only by understanding the powerful natural materials in the mountains and forests can the success rate of traps be increased."

This is ancient times, not modern times.

To make a sophisticated trap, you need a variety of materials, just like the juice of the pitcher plant, which can be used as a strong glue that can not only stick to the prey, but also stick to the trap materials.

This is the importance of materials. Without materials, no matter how sophisticated the techniques are, the traps they set will not work.

Even if the prey is trapped, it can easily escape.

As for the technique, it is equally important. It not only refers to the construction of the trap, but also refers to the understanding of animal habits.

"Calling traps is also an extremely profound subject."

Jiang Yue felt emotional.

There is no simple science to anything that can appear on the panel.

Jiang Yue lay on the bed and began to think about how to deal with the big rooster and what kind of trap to construct to trap the big rooster.
As he was thinking, Jiang Yue fell into a deep sleep and entered into a dream.
-
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Jiang Yue took Xiaotian into the mountains.

The sky in late autumn is just getting light, and the depths of the mountains are like a mysterious painting.

The clouds and mist float slowly in the mountains like a thin gauze, as if they were a soft veil covering the mountains.

The cold invaded wantonly, like an icy hand tightly grasping every inch of space.

The leaves have turned yellow and dry, as if the life has been drained away by time, and they are swaying helplessly in the cold wind.

The ground was covered with a layer of white frost, silently embellishing this silent world.

The entire depths of the mountain were immersed in a quiet and slightly bleak atmosphere, and the footsteps of Jiang Yue and Xiaotian broke the tranquility.

"It's getting colder and colder."

Jiang Yue tightened his linen shirt, thinking that after selling mountain products today, he should go buy some cotton clothes and trousers.

In this place close to the mountains, cotton and linen are scarce and sold at relatively high prices, but I have to buy them in this weather.

Yesterday, old man Jiang Cong felt uncomfortable in his knees when he walked, probably because he caught a cold. That brat Jiang Silang was shivering with cold and kept leaning against the stove.

In addition, the Chinese Greyhound is very afraid of cold, so it needs to keep warm in winter. It is necessary to buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and you also have to start bringing firewood home, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the winter.

He now has one tael and two cents of silver in his hand, and the musk deer and pheasants he caught yesterday have not been sold yet. Together with the mountain products he hunted today, it is definitely enough to buy clothes.

"I'll make you breakfast first."

Jiang Yue brought Xiaotian to the Stinky Vine Cave, scooped a bucket of spiritual pond water, and fed all the musk deer viscera that he had processed yesterday to Xiaotian.

The internal organs of the four musk deer had been left on the bluestone slab for a whole night and were extremely cold, but Xiaotian didn't care about that. He just wolfed them down. After that, he ate two more pheasants, and that was considered his breakfast.

"Whoohoo-"

Xiaotian stuck out his tongue, and the hot air from his mouth turned into white mist from the cold mountain.

"Let's go Xiaotian, let's go meet the big rooster again today."

Jiang Yue smiled.

Today he planned to make a trap to see if he could catch the rooster, and then go to Wangjia Old Road to see if he could use prey to attract snakes and then pick snake fruits.

Hearing this, Xiaotian became interested and extremely excited, barking. It was obvious that Xiaotian had a great hatred for the big rooster that pecked his butt last time.
