Actually, in Li Yan's opinion, there were two ways to catch the rabbit: First, he could set up a rope trap and wait for the rabbit to take the bait. The second was to smoke. As long as he could find all the rabbit holes in this small grassland and block them until there was only one left, he would light the hay and blow the smoke into the rabbit hole. In theory, he could even capture all of them, let alone catch a rabbit.
These two methods had their pros and cons. The first method was simple and harmless, but it might not necessarily catch the rabbit. The second method had a very high chance of catching a rabbit, but the matter of being extinct... Alright, Li Yan actually didn't think much of it. After all, this was the ancient era. Who knew how many wild animals there were?
The reason why Li Yan didn't use the second method to catch the rabbit was because he was worried that the fire would be too big and cause an accident. It would set the entire grassland on fire, and then even the forest would be burned.
The Earth Tribe was just beside the forest. Li Yan did not have the hobby of courting death.
Therefore, even if he couldn't catch the rabbit, he couldn't use the second method!
There were also two ways to set a noose trap: The first was to fix the noose, which was to tie a slipknot and fix one end of the rope to a heavy object. Then, the slipknot would be placed on the path that the rabbit had to pass through, which was the exit!
The second was the movable noose. It was to use the flexibility of the tree to place the noose on the path that the rabbit had to pass through. Using the method of triggering it…to design a trap.
Of course, if the conditions allowed, they could also set up bait.
However, rabbits were herbivores. Grass was everywhere in this grassland. Baits were not very effective on rabbits. Other baits that could attract rabbits could not be found here.
"Rabbit?"
Li Yan had already walked to the edge of the forest, preparing to find some extremely flexible and thin vines to make a rope trap.
Behind him, Conch finally reacted. So that 'little guy' was called Rabbit.
The girl's eyes lit up, and she felt more and more admiration for the man she had set her mind on. She felt that her man knew everything, was omnipotent, and was omnipotent.
She quickly quickened her pace and followed Li Yan. As she walked, she asked,"Yan, what are you doing?"
She was asking Li Yan what he was going to do?
Li Yan smiled and looked at the young girl,"Trap, hmm…" After thinking for a while, Li Yan explained,""Just like the cage, catch the rabbit!"
Li Yan had also told his clansmen, Luo, Di, Kun, about the word 'capture' during this period of time. Therefore, Luo could completely understand Li Yan's words.
His voice fell.
The young girl's expression did not change much. After all, in her opinion, since Li Yan knew how to make a cage to make the fish in the river walk into the net, then he would also set up a trap to make the rabbit walk into its own death. There was nothing to be shocked about.
"Trap? Is it the same as the cage?" The girl remembered the word trap!
Behind them.
The tribal men who had been following closely behind the two of them and were responsible for their safety revealed an interested expression when they heard that Li Yan wanted to set up a trap similar to the underground cage to catch rabbits.
A rabbit!
This was the first time they had heard of this name, but they had seen it before in their hunting lives. However, this little thing was too small a target, and its movement speed was too fast. It was too difficult to hunt rabbits.
In addition, the rabbits were so " small " and only had a little meat. The tribesmen had never been interested in rabbits.
But now.
Since Li Yan was able to catch this kind of rabbit, the men were all very interested. They were surprised that they could set up a trap like the underground cage on land.
No one said anything after thinking so much.
Very quickly.
Li Yan found the materials he wanted for the rope. There were dozens of tree vines as thick as a baby's finger. The thickness of these vines was moderate, but their tenacity was extremely strong. They could withstand a pulling force of dozens or even hundreds of pounds. Most of the fishing lines of the fishing rods in the tribe were made of these vines. At this moment, it was perfect to use these vines to make rope traps.
After finding the materials to set up the rope trap, Li Yan did not set it up directly beside the rabbit hole. Instead, he searched around the grassland.
He was looking for other rabbit holes.
Li Yan did not believe that there was only one rabbit in such a large grassland.
Although he didn't plan to catch them all, it would be better if he could catch more rabbits. Especially the little rabbit. If he could catch the little rabbit, wouldn't he be able to start the animal husbandry industry in ancient times?
Moreover, because rabbits were herbivores, they did not need any experience in breeding. They only needed to find a rabbit nest and feed them grass to grow.
However, if it were animals like wolves, tigers, leopards, or wild boars, even if Li Yan really caught the cubs, he would not dare to raise them directly.
The breeding and domestication of these animals was not as simple as raising them from young to old. It also required specialized skills. On Earth in the 21st century, all the livestock were accumulated over countless years by their ancestors. They gradually figured out the method to finally domesticate them and turn them into livestock!
Let's not talk too much.
After spending almost half an hour, Li Yan found seventeen to eighteen rabbit holes.
Setting up a noose trap was much easier than finding a rabbit hole. As long as one knew how to tie a slipknot, it would be fine! Li Yan chose to use a fixed rope in front of each rabbit hole.
"It's alright, but unfortunately, there aren't any seasonings. If only I could find crystal salt, chili, pepper, or something like that, that would be great.”
After doing all this, Li Yan looked at the grassland that was being blown by the hot wind and the wild grass that was constantly swaying. He could not help but have this thought.
Following that, Li Yan did not stay where he was. He led the young girl and a dozen tribal men in another direction.
The search for supplies near the tribe still had to continue.
Almost an hour passed.
Around 6 pm, Li Yan, Conch, and the 13 tribal men arrived at a place where bright red plants grew.
Looking at the small, pointy things on the ground, Li Yan stood where he was and fell into deep thought for nearly half a minute.
This?
Chili, no, it was actually sharp chili.
Li Yan looked at the 20 to 30 wild pepper plants in front of him in a daze.
