Chapter 4 Hunting

It is chilly in early spring. The further west you go and the closer you get to the mountains, the colder it feels.

As Jiang Bo walked towards the western suburbs, he turned up the collar of his shirt and pinched it with his hands.

I just exchanged food with the third uncle.

In fact, Jiang Bo knew that if he went out to exchange, he would definitely be able to exchange more than this.

On the one hand, he was too lazy to bother.

He now has hunting skills, the important thing is to go to the mountains to hunt some wild animals.

It takes too much time to go to the pigeon market.

On the other hand, through the original owner's memory.

The third uncle and his wife were the few people in this courtyard who had helped him.

Once, the original owner glanced at Qin Huairu a few more times, and Sha Zhu found an excuse to block him in a corner and provoke him.

Although the original owner was tall, he had been short of food and clothing for many years and was as thin as a bamboo pole. He was no match for Sha Zhu.

Only to be beaten.

No one in the house offered any advice.

Only this third auntie couldn't stand it and advised Shazhu not to go too far.

The two uncles in charge pretended not to see anything and did not leave the house.

Jiang Bo muttered as he walked:

"Just consider it as returning a favor for you."

Jiang Bo walked briskly, thinking this, as he gradually walked into the mountain.

However, the situation along the way was not very optimistic.

This was also in line with his expectations.

After all, the famine had lasted for more than two years, and winter had just passed.

Anything that could fill one's stomach had already been dug up.

I just passed by a big willow tree. The willow buds had not grown much yet, but they had already been plucked out.

Only the bare willow branches were left, swaying in the wind.

We met quite a few people on the road, some in groups of two or three, and some alone.

Yue Mo, like Jiang Bo, came to the mountains to try his luck.

but.

All of these people came empty-handed and their faces did not look very good.

The vast majority gained nothing.

However, Jiang Bo now has hunting skills.

He is different when it comes to finding wild animals that others cannot.

There is no need to worry about this at all.

The further you go into the mountains, the fewer people you will find on the road.

The surrounding terrain became more and more complex, and the vegetation became more lush.

Jiang Bo began to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

He just discovered that as he observed along the way, more and more unfamiliar experiences and knowledge emerged in his mind.

For example, the higher, shady area on the left hand side of his eyes was most likely where hares appeared.

Jiang Bo looked around carefully and found some rabbit droppings and paw prints in a hidden place.

"It seems that there are really wild rabbits active nearby."

Jiang Bo found a very hidden little cave.

"This should be where the hare might be hiding."

He collected some branches, leaves, hay and other things from the surrounding area to prepare the tools for the smokemaking.

Then, he took some longer hay and willow branches.

I made a circle with willow branches, tied a circle of dry grass leaves on it, and weaved a simple net bag.

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for triggering the "Handcraft" skill! Handcraft experience value +1]

Handcraft experience points?

"It seems that in this system, it is quite easy to trigger skills."

In less than a day since arriving here, he has already triggered the three skills of hunting, cooking, and handicraft.

Jiang Bo was a little surprised.

After the net was woven, he carefully used a flint to ignite the dry grass and branches he had just collected, and started a small fire at the entrance of the cave.

Then he took out a rag from his bosom and gently passed it over the fire, letting some smoke stain the rag.

Gently wave your hands to let the smoke drift slowly into the cave.

At the same time, he held his breath and remained absolutely quiet so as not to disturb the hare.

After a while, a gray thing "whooshed" out of the cave.

Apparently, he was choked by the smoke.

Jiang Bo seized the opportunity, covered the hare with the prepared net bag and successfully caught it.

"Although the method of fire fumigation is ancient, it is indeed effective."

The key is to master the timing and skills so that you can catch the hare as soon as it rushes out.

And Jiang Bo, with the help of hunting skills, was flawless in terms of timing and explosiveness, which was perfect.

The only downside is.

The net bag I just made is not very strong.

When the rabbit rushed out, it struggled violently and almost broke the net bag.

Fortunately, Jiang Bo was quick-witted and quickly grabbed the rabbit's ears and threw the captured hare into the prepared sack.

"I need to make another net bag."

"Otherwise, if another rabbit jumps out of the hole, this net bag will definitely fall apart."

"By then, the rabbit we have caught will also run away."

Jiang Bo thought so and started working quickly.

With the added bonus of manual skills, the newly made net bag is obviously made with better craftsmanship.

The mesh is denser and the weave is stronger.

More obviously, the technique has also become faster.

In a short while, a 2.0plus version of the net bag was almost completed.

At this time, suddenly.

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for gaining hunting experience +5! ]

[Host's total hunting experience score: 10; hunting level: level one! ]

Hearing the system prompt, Jiang Bo fell into deep thought.

This is the first time I have received a level prompt from the system.

It seems that after reaching a certain score, his skills will rise to a higher level, just like playing games normally.

Generally speaking, when you increase your level in the game, there will be a significant improvement in skills.

It is equivalent to a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change.

I wonder if this system is also like this?

Before he could come up with an answer.

Sudden.

A gray flash flashed past the hole.

Jiang Bo was weaving a net at the entrance of the cave. He had no time to think and subconsciously reached out for the gray flash with his right hand.

The result surprised him greatly!

He actually caught a big rabbit with his bare hands!

This is a bigger and fatter wild rabbit than the one just caught!

Jiang Bo looked at what was in his hand in disbelief.

The big rabbit was grabbed by Jiang Bo's ears, and was still struggling to twist its fat body.

“Could this be the cumulative leap from quantitative change to qualitative change?”

Jiang Bo quickly understood.

My skills improved by leaps and bounds after reaching level one in hunting.

This made him a little excited.

He made such a rapid leap just by reaching 10 points and level one.

If you reach level 2, level 3, or even higher,

He simply couldn't imagine how powerful he must be.
