Chapter 22 Beehive

Seeing the familiar shelter, Qi Yuan felt much calmer, and the panic of being in the wild was relieved.

Now that the shelter has been relocated, check out what resources are nearby that you can use.

Qi Yuan returned to the shelter and took out three hunting traps and took them with him.

The forest around the shelter is much more lively than the original wasteland. Just walking along the way, I saw a lot of animals.

This is because winter has passed, many organisms have begun to hibernate, and their numbers have decreased.

If it weren't for the cold current environment, there might be more kinds of wild beasts coming out.

Qi Yuan was not particularly familiar with setting up traps, so he could only arrange them according to his own ideas.

There are many traces of wild animal activities left in the forest grassland.

For example, pine nuts that have been gnawed by squirrels; berries that have been eaten by wild birds; footprints of certain animals; fresh feces left in the grass.

These activity traces were left in the messy grass, showing the animals' usual movement routes.

These wild animals often travel along fixed routes.

Therefore, if you only place traps on these routes, you will have a higher probability of successful capture.

There are many red berries dotted in a withered grass, most of which have been eaten by birds, leaving only a small number of malnourished berries.

It can be seen that the peck marks on the surface of some berries are fresh. It shows that the birds here still come to eat.

So Qi Yuan placed a trap here.

As for the other two traps, they were placed next to a mouse hole and under a pine tree.

The most convenient thing about traps is that after setting them up, you can do other things.

In the next time, Qi Yuan still plans to collect wood to prepare for making charcoal.

I don’t know how long the cold wave will last, and sufficient charcoal is also a strategic material.

Continuing back to the white cedar forest, it is still a mist area, with light clouds and mist floating in it.

This time, Qi Yuan started cutting down trees from the other end of the forest, closer to the shelter.

"Bang bang bang."

It’s still unpretentious tree-cutting time, and the collection of white fir trees is very efficient. There was not much space to pile up a few piles of wood.

But not too long ago, something unexpected happened.

"Buzz buzz buzz,"

A bee the size of a thumb was wandering around in the forest, making a sour sound.

Qi Yuan frowned and looked up, and found that there were many bees flying in the woods not far away.

Is there a beehive here?

Qi Yuan looked over curiously, but did not dare to get too close because he was afraid of being stung by bees.

From a distance, you can see that most of the bees are surrounding a locust tree. Three meters away from the tree, there is a tree hole the size of a washbasin.

Bees swarmed in and out of this tree hole, making a thin, low buzzing sound.

It's a bee!

There must be honey!

Qi Yuan was overjoyed, and started to think, maybe we can eat honey today!

In the wild, it is still very dangerous to encounter a large number of bees. If you do not use the right method, you can easily be stung all over your body.

A better method is to use smoke.

Putting down the ax in his hand, Qi Yuan quickly rushed back to the shelter and used wood to bring fire.

However, if you want to create a large amount of smoke, fire alone is not enough. The generation of smoke requires incomplete combustion of objects.

Qi Yuan collected wet leaves, soaked the wood chips with water, and burned them on a flame.

Crackling!

Along with some popping sounds, thick black smoke rose into the sky and quickly enveloped the entire forest.

The fire was built under the tree, and the rising black smoke passed through the hole of the tree, just enough to be touched by the bees.

In fact, it is better to put the burning material directly into the tree hole, which can lock all the black smoke in the tree hole.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is too dangerous.

Once the bee swarm is frightened, they will swarm out and fly around, possibly injuring themselves accidentally.

So to be on the safe side, it’s better to take pictures slowly.

Qi Yuan did not stare all the time, letting the fire continue to smoke, adding some burning materials from time to time.

땤I continued to collect wood.

Nearly an hour later, Qi Yuan cut down a white cedar tree and collected 98 units of good-grade wood.

When I came to the hive again, I found that the effect was very good.

Many bees fell to the ground and lost their ability to move. The remaining bees that could still fly seemed weak.

Obviously, the smoke's killing effect is very good.

At this time, Qi Yuan suddenly thought that bees can be regarded as ordinary beasts certified by the system. Can you get a wooden resource box by killing a bee?

Although it is unlikely, it is definitely necessary to try.

Directly approaching the beehive, the bees' desire to attack has been greatly reduced. Moreover, Qi Yuan is wearing heavy clothes, but he is not very scared.

He raised his right foot and crushed the fainting bee to death.

Three seconds later, no resource box appeared.

"It doesn't seem to work. I'm too fanciful, so there might be such a bug."

Qi Yuan sighed helplessly.

However, he did not stop and trampled the bees on the ground to death one after another.

After all, being close to the shelter and the white fir forest still posed a considerable threat to him.

As more bees were cleared, the ground suddenly flashed with light, and a wooden resource box appeared.

Huh?

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, and his joy was beyond words: "It seems that there are resource boxes, but there are fewer."

After clearing all the bees on the ground, a bronze resource box popped out, which was beyond his expectations.

This made Qi Yuan fall into a dilemma. Should he completely clear the hive?

With such an easy method, he can get a wooden resource box and a bronze resource box for free.

If you miss this good thing, I don't know when the next time will be.

After a mental struggle, Qi Yuan finally showed mercy. He only cleared the bees on the ground, and the inside of the tree hole was not damaged.

After all, a stable source of resource boxes sounds so tempting.

In the following time, Qi Yuan continued to chop trees, and when there was half an hour left, he began to return to the shelter.

It took a lot of time to carry the wood, but the white fir forest in the shelter was much closer, which was much more convenient.

Having hurried back to the shelter, Qi Yuan immediately went to check the traps.

If you can catch prey, it means that there are abundant resources here, and maybe there will be a long-term and stable source of meat in the future.

Although Qin Zhenjun can hunt wild animals and provide himself with steaks. But it is better to have your own channels for living resources.

No one can guarantee that the two can always maintain a close relationship. If there is a conflict one day, they will not fall into the embarrassment of having no meat.

When they came to the first trap, the rope

was not moving at all, and it seemed that it was not triggered.

Qi Yuan was a little disappointed, but he still cheered up and went to the next one.

The second trap has been triggered.

Qi Yuan was overjoyed and walked closer to check, but was disappointed.

There was nothing in the trap, leaving only a small poke of gray-white fluff, which looked like rabbit hair.

It seems that an animal did pass by, but it was just unlucky and did not catch it.

Qi Yuan felt better, which at least showed that there were rabbits living nearby. 땤 And there was no problem with the placement of his own trap.

If the rabbit may pass by once, it may pass by a second time.

Continue to the third trap.

This time, Qi Yuan heard the shrill cry from a distance.

"There's a catch!"
