Chapter 327 Su Bai: A Very Dangerous Bow and Arrow Trap
Seeing how quickly Su Bai observed for a long time before setting up a device, Danmaku couldn't help but become a little anxious:
[Su Bai, what are you doing so procrastinatingly? 】
[Looking at it, it’s getting dark! You haven’t set up a trap, and you haven’t spliced the ceiling. How slow is it to set up a dew collection device? 】
[I remember that when you demonstrated it to us, you set it up very quickly?]
While Su Bai was digging a hole, burying bamboo tubes, and covering the fish skin umbrella, he glanced at the barrage and said with a faint smile:
“Location is important.”
"Especially when Dr. Zhao feels that there is danger at night, this dew collection device is not just a simple device."
"A predator that can chase us so far for two birds must be a very alert being. Even in the dark, it would not step on such an obvious abnormal position as a fish-skin umbrella."
"If we step on it, it will make a cracking sound to remind us."
"So, when arranging a fish-skin umbrella, you need to start considering the surrounding environment, terrain, trees, and the place where the trap will be placed later."
"To a certain extent, these fish skin umbrellas can also be regarded as a non-lethal early warning trap."
Barrage:
【……】
[Fishskin Umbrella: Is it true? Why didn’t I know? 】
[Yu Pi Umbrella: Boss, you never mentioned this when I joined the company! 】
[Fishskin Umbrella: Increase wages! Must increase wages!]
Su Bai spent three times as long as usual to arrange these fish skin umbrellas.
He turned around and saw that Zhao Xinqing, who had lit the fire, had already erected the ceiling in the open space.
Zhao Xinqing used two thick branches found in the forest to support the upper corners of the ceiling, forming a triangular space between the ceiling and the ground.
Half a coyote skin was laid underneath to block the coldness and dampness of the ground.
There was a clay pot beside the fire, which contained raw water that had been replenished in the small lake.
The gray-necked bustards had their feathers burned by the flames. One was wrapped in a large leaf and buried in the ground for roasting. The other one was being cut and dismembered by a bamboo blade in Zhao Xinqing's hands, ready to be stewed in a clay pot.
While cutting with a bamboo blade, Zhao Xinqing fed the less fleshy parts such as the head and wings to the cats beside her.
Su Bai helped Zhao Xinqing cook the gray-necked bustard, and immediately took Zhao Xinqing and started to lay traps outside the camp.
As Su Bai just said, when setting up traps, you also need to choose the right location.
Although Zhao Xinqing did not know the techniques of trap layout, she could accurately judge the possible route of the beast and helped Su Bai make a judgment.
After hearing Su Bai's needs, Zhao Xinqing observed the terrain of the camp and muttered:
"The location of the small lake is to the west. If there are predators, as I judged, following the faint smell of blood left by the Gray-necked Bustard, and hunting them, the most likely route selection must be directly from the west side of our camp.
near."
"So, the small gap left between these two trees should be the most likely route chosen by predators."
"The narrow gap means a narrow external field of vision, which can provide the beast with a considerable sense of concealment and security."
"The terrain here is relatively flat and there is no vegetation cover, so it won't make too much noise."
"There are shrubs and weeds in other places around, and it's easy to be spotted by prey when walking through them."
"For predators, these are instincts engraved deep in their genes. They don't need to use their intelligence at all. They will make choices directly after entering the environment."
Su Bai looked at the gap in the forest pointed out by Zhao Xinqing, nodded and said:
"Okay, let's set up a bow and arrow trap here."
Barrage:
【oh???】
【Isn’t it finally a noose?】
【Is Su Bai finally going to use other traps? 】
[Wait a minute, what kind of trap is the bow and arrow trap? 】
[I have been hanging in Lin Zi’s live broadcast room for so many days, why have I never seen this trap? 】
Su Bai smiled and said:
"Bow and arrow trap, as the name suggests, requires a bow and arrow as the main body of the trap."
"It's very lethal."
"But it's also dangerous."
"Because of setting this trap, there are many people in history who were shot to death by their own bows and arrows."
As he spoke, Su Bai turned to Zhao Xinqing and said:
"You have to stay behind me, understand?"
"You must not go around in the direction pointed by the arrow for any reason. This trap is really dangerous."
Zhao Xinqing nodded repeatedly to indicate that she understood.
Su Bai then took Zhao Xinqing's simple bamboo bow and began to lay a trap.
While taking action, Su Bai explained:
"Bow and arrow traps are very complex traps."
"But all trigger traps are actually the same and are arranged around a trigger device."
"Once an animal touches the trigger device, causing the force balance of the trigger device to be destroyed, the trap will be activated instantly."
With that said, Su Bai started his own operation.
He first used fishing line to wrap around two thick and short wooden stakes, and arranged a z-shaped trigger line close to the ground.
Three more branches were used to construct the outline of an isosceles triangle on the ground.
The other two trimmed branches supported another stubby branch with the help of three fulcrums on the ground.
And this stubby branch hooked the string of Zhao Xinqing's simple bamboo bow.
The trigger wire was also tied to a small branch.
The bow body is blocked by two thicker wooden stakes and bent into the shape of a full moon.
Between the bow strings, there is a fish scale arrow.
The arrow pointed directly at the deep jungle on the west side.
After doing this, Su Bai explained to the camera:
"Now, the trap is ready."
"As long as something touches the trigger line close to the ground, the balance built by these branches will be involved and destroyed, and the bowstring will rebound instantly and the arrow will be shot."
Barrage:
【Cow, cow, cow!】
[Although I saw him making a bow and arrow trap with his own hands, I am still confused...]
【You haven’t learned it at all, okay? 】
[This trap is too complicated and sophisticated... Just looking at it, without systematic study, it is impossible to truly master it. 】
After Su Bai made the bow and arrow trap, he led Zhao Xinqing to lay out numerous trigger traps in other directions of the camp.
There are nooses, traps, and trip wire warnings, and even a fallen log trap was set up using a heavy broken tree according to local conditions.
Danmu looked at the various traps that were constantly forming in Su Bai's hands, and they all gasped for a moment:
【What a cruel heart...】
[I have to say that human wisdom is far more significant in the wilderness than fangs and claws. Becoming the overlord of the earth little by little from ancient times is really not a coincidence, but the result of absolute strength...]
Su Bai stood in the middle of the camp, looking around to see if there were any missed corners. After a while, he nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Should be a very safe night."
As he was talking, he suddenly remembered something and frowned and asked:
"Xinqing, tell me, is there any chance that the snow leopard will catch up?"
"If she chases her at night and accidentally steps on these traps..."
