Chapter 131 Going Hunting (2)

Every time she found a strange beast, she would take out the excavator, dig a hole nearby, set a trap, and throw in strange plants that served as bait but also had an anesthetic effect. Then she would wake up the sleeping beast, drive it into the hole, and then insert a fluorescent stick.

Other people set up a target and then shoot arrows, but she shoots arrows first and then sets up a target at the location of the arrow.

Ye Nai ran until it was almost dark, and she heard the walkie-talkie calling everyone to return to the team. She controlled the mycelium to collect the prey that she had not had time to set traps for directly into the space, then picked up the walkie-talkie to respond to the call, asking them to follow the red and orange fluorescent sticks to find traps to see if there were any prey.

The people who had returned to the team dispersed again, looking for bright artificial light sources in the wilderness as it was getting dark.

The red and orange colors in the wilderness were indeed eye-catching. The walkie-talkie kept ringing, and every time it rang, someone had found a trap with prey.

"Wow, I have prey here."

"I have two wild birds here, too."

"This trap is dug very neatly."

"Xiao Ye, did you buy an excavator?"

"Yes, there is an agricultural machinery market near the Agricultural Machinery Technical School, and I bought an agricultural excavator."

"Well, no wonder."

"Hey, come on, Leaf, come back, you have a trap that caught three piglets."

"Wow!"

"Good luck in opening the door!"

"Which trap? What's the surrounding terrain like?"

"This one with sparse woods and shrubs."

"I understand. Wait for me to come over. Tie up the pig and I'll use the excavator to lift it up."

Yenna's trap was dug deep. Rabbits and wild birds were small and light in weight, so a person could just go down to the bottom of the pit with a rope and pick them up. The piglets weighed several hundred pounds, so they could use the car-mounted winch to pull them up, but after pulling the piglets to the ground, they had to flip them up with great effort to make it easier for the forklift to reach in.

This is so troublesome. It’s not as convenient as just lifting it up with an excavator.

Back to the trap where the piglets were placed, there were two off-road vehicles with their headlights on. While waiting for Ye Nai to arrive, they had already sent people down to the bottom of the pit with ropes, checked the condition of the piglets, tied up their limbs one by one, tied a pig knot, passed a long rope through them, and threw the two rope ends together to the ground.

Ye Na came back just in time.

She first put away the motorcycle and everyone made way. Then she took out the tractor with a trailer attached and asked everyone to work together to lower the movable guardrail and lay down the plastic forklift pallet.

Finally, put down the excavator at the side of the pit.

"Wow, I bought a big one."

"Hehe, the effective depth is 3 meters, so we can definitely catch wild boars and bison alive."

"definitely."

Everyone worked together to tie a knot in the wire rope, hung it on the teeth of the bucket, and then moved away.

Ye Na used his hands and feet together, raised his upper arm and extended his forearm steadily, kept the bucket still, straightened the wire rope, and as the upper arm was slowly raised, the wild boar cub at the bottom of the pit was also hoisted up.

After the piglet was lifted to the ground, the excavator was rotated and placed on the pallet.

Someone immediately climbed onto the carriage, untied the wire rope and threw it into the bucket. Ye Nai turned the bucket to the edge of the pit, lowered the wire rope, and waited for the people at the bottom of the pit to hang the second piglet on it, lift it up and put it on the car.

A few minutes later, the third piglet was also placed, and the bucket turned back again, this time carefully reaching into the bottom of the pit, and letting the person sit in the bucket and bring him up. When the person landed safely, everyone present applauded and cheered.

"Well done, Little Leaf!"

“The excavator is a great buy.”

“It’s great to have a forklift.”

"Should we fill up such a big hole? Or should we clean it up and continue using it?"

"It's a waste to dig a hole and use it once. Just keep using it. Maybe you can catch a nocturnal animal."

So, the people who had just come up went down again. Ye Nai took out the bait and anesthetic plants and covered the bottom of the pit. The others used local materials, picked up dead branches and shrubs of suitable length but loose texture, and simply covered the mouth of the pit, and finally covered it with weeds. In order to make it more realistic, the wood team members also put some soil to promote the growth of clumps of weeds around it.

From a distance, it is just a slightly high pile of grass and soil.

Small animals can't fall in, but if a heavier animal comes along, it will step on it and fall in.

"Okay, okay, that's fine."

"Go, go, go, it's getting dark."

"Hey, let's see how lucky we are tonight."

"Report, the wild boar cub has been caught. Let's go back to the camp now."

Everyone was busy preparing to return. Ye Nai put away the excavator and climbed into the tractor's cab. Everyone had helped her close the movable barrier of the trailer at the back.

With two off-road vehicles in the lead, a tractor in the middle, and the other vehicles following behind, they returned to the camp in a very loud and powerful manner.

While Ye Nai and his team were busy, the team members who were scattered around collecting prey came back one after another. So when they came back, the whole camp came to see their prey.

It’s not that I haven’t seen wild boar cubs before, but I admire Ye Nai’s hunting efficiency.

There were living prey in every trap they found. After taking the prey away, they would of course rearrange the traps for secondary use, just in case someone was lucky enough to fall into them.

When thinking about the live rabbits and piglets, and a pile of dead prey, she brought back years ago, and she didn't even have an excavator at that time, no one would believe that she was not the hunter's chosen one.

After the simple excitement was over, the logistics team members from the space came to hand over the prey to Ye Nai and took photos to record it. Everyone was fully prepared, and the killed prey were all packed in large plastic baskets.

After dinner, everyone who was tired after a day of work still had some fun. Other members of the support team brought projectors and screens. Ye Na took out her mobile video disk and plugged it into the projector to read and play files.

A stall was set up, people were drinking beer and eating snacks, and the open-air cinema was opened.

The next morning, everyone broke camp and dispersed, first checking the traps they had marked yesterday.

Ye Na didn't go with them. Catching living things was the only task everyone gave her. The tractor was given to Aqi, and she rode away on the motorcycle with ease.

She already knew what the results of everyone's inspection would be. According to the mycelium feedback, the harvest this night was good. About half of the traps contained prey, the other half were either triggered but no animals fell into them, or no animals approached the other half.

Including the deep pit for catching wild boars was also empty.

Ye Nai ignored the pits. She found a direction with fewer people and ran a long distance, releasing mutant spores as she walked. When she found a place that looked pleasing to the eye, she stopped. Then, just like yesterday, she took out an outdoor chair, sat down, drank a drink, turned on the computer, and waited for the mycelium to help her hunt.

The walkie-talkie on her body was also on, and she would listen to people talking inside all the time. If anyone came towards her direction, she would run away at any time.

He spent most of the day leisurely. Except for going to the toilet and eating, his butt never left the chair. Ye Na, who was so sleepy from studying, closed the stall and went to work.
