Zhou Ye couldn't tell what kind of berry it was, but it tasted like raspberries. It was sour and sweet and very delicious.
Wukong also picked a handful of berries and stuffed them into his mouth. As he ate, he showed off the delicious food he found to Zhou Ye.
"Yes, yes, the taste is indeed not bad. I'll give you a big credit. The taste is indeed not bad. Don't just eat. Pick more and bring them back. I'll make you something delicious tonight.”
As Zhou Ye fought with Wukong over the berries, he placed the extra berries into the rattan basket that was filled with wide leaves.
Upon hearing Zhou Ye's instructions, Wukong also helped pick the berries. He would occasionally steal a few berries. He had been eyeing the berries for a long time. Now that they were ripe, of course, he had to eat more.
Soon, the man and monkey finished picking the berries. Although they ate a lot, there were still a lot of berries. Zhou Ye still covered the bottom of the basket.
When Wukong saw that the berries were gone, he wanted to take some more from the rattan basket. However, Zhou Ye slapped his claws away. He could only lead Zhou Ye into the forest again.
This time, Zhou Ye's goal was to find a new water source. In the past few days, Zhou Ye didn't dare to go deep into the forest because he wasn't familiar with the surrounding environment.
Now that he had Wukong, a native, Zhou Ye would let Wukong bring him to find a water source.
On this deserted island, there were large animals like wild boars, which meant that there must be a water source. Otherwise, if there were waterholes formed by rain, these animals would have died of thirst long ago.
Therefore, there must be a stable water source on this island. It was just that he had not found it.
Zhou Ye followed Wukong through the dense forest. Suddenly, he stopped. He saw a tuft of fur in the dense bushes.
Zhou Ye squatted down and picked up the tuft of fur to take a look. It was a tuft of fur from a rabbit. This meant that this was the path of a rabbit.
There was such a path in the dense bushes, which meant that the rabbit often walked here, which was why it had formed such a path.
Rabbits were very alert little animals. If there was even the slightest movement of grass, they would run away and disappear. It was extremely difficult to capture them.
Now that he had discovered their beast path, if he did not set a few traps, he would really be letting down his luck.
Zhou Ye carefully observed the direction of the beast path. Through the way the grass around him fell, Zhou Ye determined the direction of the entire beast path.
After understanding the direction, Zhou Ye followed the beast path and began to look for the rabbit's nest. This was a task that required careful observation. Therefore, Zhou Ye was very careful.
As everyone knew, there were often several exits in a rabbit's nest. It was simply impossible to find all these exits in the dense bushes.
Therefore, Zhou Ye didn't expect to find all the exits. He just needed to find a few of the entrances that rabbits frequented.
If he wanted to find the cave entrance, the direction of the beast path was a clear guide.
Although he could roughly determine the location of the rabbit nest with the positioning of the beast path, it was not so easy to find the entrance of the cave.
As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its nest.
From this sentence, he could guess that the rabbit nest was very well hidden. Zhou Ye searched carefully for a long time but he couldn't find the hole in the dense bushes.
Zhou Ye looked at the sky and gave up on looking for the cave entrance. He was going to set a trap on the beast path.
After leaving the beast path for some distance, Zhou Ye found a place with dense vines. He used the stone axe to cut off some of the thicker vines.
He peeled off the outer skin of the rattan and tore it into thin threads. Zhou Ye activated his weaving skill and weaved the outer skin into a thin thread that was as thick as a matchstick.
After spending about half an hour, Zhou Ye weaved two strings that were about two meters long.
He tested the tenacity of the rope with his hands. Although the diameter of the rope woven from rattan skin was very thin, it was extremely tough. It was more than enough to deal with small animals like rabbits.
After returning to the beast path, Zhou Ye began to choose a suitable place to release the trap.
A gray rabbit jumped out of the bushes. The moment Zhou Ye saw the rabbit, he hid himself and carefully observed the rabbit's movements.
The rabbit's hearing was extremely sensitive. If there was the slightest movement in the surroundings, it would be frightened and run away.
With the rabbit's running speed, Zhou Ye couldn't catch up at all. Besides, animals like rabbits were especially timid.
If it found that there was danger near this passage, it would definitely not take this path next time. There were many exits in the rabbit nest, and there were several roads to go out.
Now that Zhou Ye had discovered this beast path, he definitely wouldn't alert the rabbits so easily and let them choose another path.
Zhou Ye observed it carefully for a while until the rabbit disappeared. Only then did Zhou Ye heave a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ye carefully came out of his hiding place. He observed the tunnel that the rabbit had used and found a place that was extremely suitable for setting up traps.
It was a small passage squeezed out of a bush. The passage was so small that only small animals like rabbits could pass through.
The branches of the surrounding shrubs were relatively hard, and there were some sharp thorns on the branches of the shrubs.
The reason why Zhou Ye chose this place to set up the trap was because he wanted this tunnel. There was only one entrance and the surrounding shrubs restricted the passage in other directions.
Although this place had a certain protective effect on the rabbit, it would not be attacked from other directions.
But because of this, this place had become a dead zone. As long as they blocked the entrances on both sides, the rabbits inside would be like turtles in a jar.
Zhou Ye took out a thin rope and tied one end of the rope into a knot that could contract freely.
This knot was very ingenious. As long as the rabbit was interplanted with the knot, the knot would tighten as the rabbit moved until it became a dead knot.
He carefully placed the knot into the bushes. The size of the knot was only one circle smaller than the width of the passage. As long as the rabbit passed through this passage, it would definitely be trapped.
Then, Zhou Ye pressed down on a tree branch that was quite elastic and tied the other end of the string to the tree branch.
He tied the second string to a branch and inserted both ends of the thin branch into the soil as an anchor.
He tied the other end of the second string to the anchor. The anchor was only ten centimeters away from the rope.
He took out a handful of berries from the rattan basket and scattered them around the trap. Then, he crushed a few berries and smeared them on the rope used to fix the trap.
This simple hunting trap was completed.
Rabbits had very sharp teeth. When they ate, they would always chew their food into pieces.
Once the rabbit ate, it would definitely bite off the string that touched the berry. This way, the branch would definitely rebound without any traction.
Then the rope tied to the branch would definitely tighten because the distance between the rope and the fixed rope was only ten centimeters. With the size of a wild rabbit, it would definitely be caught.
As Zhou Ye set up the trap, he heard the system notification.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully setting up a simple hunting trap and completing the hidden mission: Trap hunting. Special reward: Complete set of traps. Please take note to check!"
