Chapter 017 Tracking and Identification
While Lu Junming was dreaming of getting a promotion and a pay raise, Bifang on the other side was not idle. As he walked along the stream, he had some unexpected gains.
Bifang used the stick in his hand to push away a clump of weeds and found small footprints on the ground. He was immediately surprised.
"Hey! Look what we found?"
【What?】
[It feels like an animal is walking through here? ]
[What the hell is this, a rat? ]
In the weeds that Bifang had pushed aside with a wooden stick, there were piles of brown particles, and a series of footprints leading all the way to the depths of the forest. It was obvious that some animal had been here not long ago, or even more than once.
The soil near the stream is softer, and the footprints left by animals are very obvious and will not disappear for a long time.
If it were any other creature, perhaps Bifang would not be so surprised.
but……
“It’s a rabbit!”
Bifang was very excited. If he was lucky, maybe he could even eat meat today!
He squatted on the ground, glancing around with the corner of his eyes, paying attention to the movements in the surrounding forest. He used the wooden stick in his hand to press down the weeds so that the audience could see more clearly. At the same time, he picked up some brown particles with his hands.
These particles are round and very small, with a diameter of about eight millimeters. They can be easily broken into pieces if squeezed.
[Here we go again, Master Fangshen, the master of identifying shit! ]
[I have never seen such a heavy live broadcast]
[Why do I feel like a rat? 】
[The footprints of your rat are so big? ]
[Brother, I can tell from the looks of it that you are from the north. Have you ever seen a rat from the south? ]
"No, it isn't."
Bifang shook his head and pointed at the footprints and feces on the ground and said, "No matter from the shape or size, it can't be a rodent. This must be rabbit feces!"
"First, the toes of mice are obviously forked, and there are five of them, but rabbits only have four toes, and they are not forked. Secondly, look at this feces."
"You see, the surface of the dung ball is very rough, which means it is not left by ruminants such as deer. Moreover, the shape is more round. If it is from rodents, their shape should be oval or long!"
[Useless knowledge has increased again! ]
[Rabbit: I didn't expect you to catch up with me. If that's the case... tell me, what exactly exposed me? Wha... what ? It turned out to be my shit? Qi Ke Xiu! ]
【The Rabbit Thief and the Terrible Ape! 】
[Good fellow, I won’t look at the monthly ticket list if you’re not on it, I’ll subscribe to it as soon as it’s on the shelves! Write quickly. ]
[Ah, the document is under construction, remember to vote. ]
【Go with peace of mind! 】
Bifang: “…”
There are so many silly netizens who are so happy.
[But rabbits are not that easy to catch. I have seen wild rabbits in the mountains before. They flew so fast that I couldn’t even see their taillights.]
[Is there? I feel like my rabbit can’t even run…]
[Can domesticated animals be the same as wild ones? And is that a rabbit? That’s clearly a pig! ]
indeed.
After seeing the barrage , Bifang had to admit that wild rabbits are indeed difficult to catch. Not only are they alert by nature and have keen hearing and vision, but they also run away quickly and hide well.
Although there are many enemies, there are only a few animals that can catch it, and it is almost impossible without the use of traps.
But Bifang cannot waste a lot of time on this. The system requires him to survive within seven days. Without a day or half a day, the trap he made will not yield any harvest.
But such animals have a fatal weakness!
"Hares have a quirk, which is that they love to follow old paths. As long as they are not disturbed or frightened, they will take the same path every day when they go out of their nests to eat. Over time, they will trample out a faintly discernible path on the grass. In addition, they hide during the day and come out at night. Now we can basically find their nest by following the traces they have left!"
【Rabbit: My life is over! 】
[You want to leave after being targeted by Fang Shen? 】
【Go, go, go! 】
[Is it OK to confiscate the property?]
[985, Journey Pot presents shark fin to anchor *1.0]
【Leave a comment and give the anchor a card*1.0—Is this the legendary hunting? 】
After explaining this, Bifang picked up his stick and followed . If everything went well, perhaps in an hour or two, he would be able to eat rabbit meat!
Hunting in the deep mountains and forests, especially against hares, which are known for their cunningness, has anyone ever seen such a situation?
The young people who have lived a comfortable life in the city all year round were all attracted. Seeing Bifang searching for traces in the gloomy woods, they felt nervous and excited. They called their friends to come and watch, and the number of spectators has been increasing!
It’s so easy to break through the 200 mark!
"Wild rabbits like to live in mixed forests with water sources. The soil is relatively soft, and the footprints they leave behind are easily visible. In addition, rabbits nibble on food here and there when foraging in the wild, which makes them easy to identify."
"And there are usually relatively high ridges in the woods, and 90% of the time there are rabbit trails there, because rabbits like to walk on high ground so they can spot their predators!"
Leaning on a wooden stick, Bifang easily found a route through the dense weeds. As long as he was a little further away, he would see a sparser path, which was the path the rabbit had walked.
With the help of clues, Bifang followed the trail all the way.
Time passed slowly and soon it was past noon.
The temperature in the forest rose quickly, and coupled with the constant movement, Bifang could only unzip his pants, but layers of hot sweat still broke out on his forehead.
But the rabbit hole is still a long way off.
If it cannot be found, it means a lot of time and energy are wasted, which is almost a fatal blow to Bifang who has not eaten for a long time!
This is actually a gamble. Even the most experienced hunters cannot guarantee that they will be able to catch a wild rabbit.
But in front of hundreds of spectators, Bifang dared to gamble, and even wanted to gamble!
Enterprising and adventurous, he is a natural explorer.
This is what the old professor in the CWCA expedition team once said about him.
Time passes by every second.
More and more viewers gathered in the live broadcast room, but the discernible tracks in the woods became fewer and fewer.
"It looks like we're pretty close."
Bifang took a breath and tried to calm his breathing. "As the saying goes, a rabbit won't eat grass near its nest. This is because it needs enough grass to cover its nest. Besides, hares don't dig holes, they only build nests in existing holes. Now we have to pay attention to see if there are any such holes!"
[That's not right. How did the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" come about? ]
[Yeah, scratching my head]
Many viewers were confused. Since rabbits don’t dig holes, is the idiom “a cunning rabbit has three burrows” false?
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. This is actually referring to the burrowing rabbit, which is very different from the wild rabbit I mentioned. Burrowing rabbits live in groups, while wild rabbits live alone. Burrowing rabbits generally live in grasslands, while wild rabbits live in woods."
"The burrowing rabbit lives in a narrow range, with its burrow as the center. The range of a hare is much wider than that of a burrowing rabbit, and we were looking for a hare, which is why we walked for so long."
Bifang explained and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
At this moment.
A pile of earth in front of him with a bare top and weeds underneath attracted him.
