Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The area covered by this black forest is not too large by visual estimation, but it is definitely not something they can clean up in a short while.

During this process, they undoubtedly found those rats scurrying around in every corner of the black forest again. Many tribe members wanted to rush to catch them, but Zhou Xu stopped them.

"Okay, don't waste your energy. These rats jump up very fast. If you can catch them with bare hands, you will catch them yesterday. You won't have to wait until today. Let's save some effort now."

While speaking, he picked up a stone that was about the size of a palm and was generally flat from his feet.

"Look at this, stones are picked like this."

While talking, Zhou Xu gestured at the tribe members who were in charge of collecting supplies.

And in this process, every member of the tribe has already held the branches picked up along the way, and some have even held them with both hands.

This is one of the reasons why they are so inefficient at picking sticks.

According to their hugging method, it will soon be too much to carry and have to go back, and more time will be wasted going back and forth.

Zhou Xu saw them and directly waved at them.

"Come here, take out a bundle of the bark rope I gave you before I set off."

Taking the bark rope handed to him by the tribe members, Zhou Xu spread the bark rope on the ground.

"Put the branch up."

After receiving the order, the tribe members did not think too much, and followed suit.

The branches they picked up were quickly piled up on the ground. After seeing that the pile was almost complete, Zhou Xu stepped on the branches, pulled the bark rope with his hands and used his hands and feet, and tied the branches into a pile. A bundle.

In the past, the family would always save and sell some cardboard boxes produced in daily life, but now the technology of this bundle of cardboard boxes is enough for here.

"Look, like this, you can directly carry the bark rope on your shoulders, and one person can carry so many branches at once."

Those branches were placed before, and at least five or six of them were needed to carry them back, but now, Zhou Xu used a bark rope to easily pick them up with one hand.

The tribe members who were watching couldn't help but exclaim.

This bundling technique itself is not difficult, the difficulty lies in who can be the first to think of doing this!

"Okay, the team in charge of collecting materials, you are divided into two groups, a team of five, and go to the areas on both sides to collect materials. Don't get close to this area. The others come with me."

Although the members of the collection team were curious about what their leader would do next, but now that the leader had given an order, they naturally did not dare to neglect, so they quickly divided into two teams and moved towards the two sides.

Zhou Xu didn't act until the two collection teams were gone.

"Feique, put the bug head and internal organs here, you don't need too much, a little is enough."

"yes."

With a response, Feique hurriedly followed suit, placing some bug heads and viscera on the position Zhou Xu pointed out.

"Okay, now take out the twig and basket that you picked up just now, and place them like this."

A small basket trap was quickly erected.

Of course, Zhou Xu couldn't fully expect that when the mouse came in, it would knock down a tree branch or hit the basket, so that the basket would fall down.

For this reason, he had already tied a thin bark rope to that twig.

Last night, he taught the butterflies to weave two kinds of bark ropes. One was thicker, and the thick ropes needed to be woven from multiple barks were now used to tie branches for the collection team.

And the other is his current one, a thin rope that is simply twisted up, and used as a traction rope to trigger the trap.

In order to avoid pulling the branch in advance, Zhou Xu carefully stepped back while putting the rope, and hid behind a big tree not far away.

"All of you hide nearby and don't make any noise. What we have to do now is to wait for the prey to come by itself."

Zhou Xu's words made Feique and the others not know what to say for a while.

But considering the miracles that their leader had brought to them before, everyone followed the order and hid nearby.

To be honest, Zhou Xu had no idea about this matter.

It is not only the question of whether the trap can catch the mouse, but also the question of whether the mouse can be eaten.

According to his concept of a modern person, most rats carry viruses, and the risk of eating them is too great.

But after thinking about it, the environment of this primitive world is different from the modern world.

To put it simply, in this primitive world that tends to be completely primitive, there are not so many kinds of bacteria and viruses. If the food these mice eat is clean, their bodies will naturally be much cleaner.

[There are quite a lot of mice in this dark forest. At the same time, no one in this world has used this trap to catch mice before, right? Guess it's easier to take the bait. 】

At this moment, Zhou Xu said in his mind that he was analyzing the situation, but why wasn't he comforting himself?

In this barren land, the food they can get is really too little, if they can't get it, they will be hungry, and there is no choice at all.

While thinking this way, within the range of vision, Zhou Xu quickly noticed a mouse sneaking up nearby.

[Speaking of which, my eyesight has improved a lot. I was a little short-sighted before, but after time travelling, I don’t have glasses, but I can see so clearly, and my observation ability has also become stronger. 】

[The mouse hiding in the corner, I might not have been able to notice it before I changed it, but now I can see it at a glance, and the field of vision has not only become larger, but also clearer. 】

[Is it an upgrade that comes with the Eye of Insight? Even without using this ability directly, my eyesight and observation skills have passively improved? 】

No time to think about it, the mouse in the distance obviously smelled the smell from the bug heads and viscera. After carefully observing the surroundings, it trotted into the trap.

Just as it grabbed the bait and was about to move, Zhou Xu gently pulled the string in his hand.

Along with the torn twig, the basket immediately fell, covering the mouse inside.

At that moment, the mouse was obviously frightened and rushed into the basket, shaking the whole basket.

The basket itself is not heavy, and the ground in the field cannot be 100% flat. Under the fierce struggle of the rat inside, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not escape.

Therefore, after covering the prey, Zhou Xu's movements were also very fast, and he rushed up with a force on his legs, and amidst the slightly inconceivable exclamations of the tribe members, he grabbed the violently shaking basket.

Obviously, none of them thought that the mouse that they could not catch with their best efforts would actually get into their leader's basket now.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the logic here is not incomprehensible.

But this did not affect the shock that the mouse threw itself into the net at that moment.

At this moment, they seemed to see a door to a new world slowly opening towards them.

The update is here, thanks to the book friends "Flying Dust to Dust", "Send You a Little Chrysanthemum", and "Breeze Slowly" for their rewards!
