Chapter 5 Preparing for the Hunt
As dusk fell, Lin Qing blew a few candles in a spacious animal-skin tent, and the orange candlelight illuminated the entire tent.
There are rows of tables and chairs in the tent, and this is the temporary meeting room of Lin’s family.
There are so many things to build a family place, and there are many miscellaneous things to discuss every day.
Lin Qingshan lives in the first place, and Lin Changye, Lin Shizhen and other tribes sit on both sides.
"Today, another monster attack occurred in Beishan. Two ordinary people who logged wood lost their lives. A Kaiyuan Third Level Guard was seriously injured!" Lin Shizhen said with a frown.
Opening up a great wilderness is to compete with monsters for resources, and it is inevitable to have conflicts with monsters.
In order to protect ordinary tribesmen to build a tribe land with peace of mind, Lin Qingshan and the clan elders selected forty tribesmen over 18 and under 60 among the family spirit warriors to form a family pioneer guard.
The guard team is temporarily led by law enforcement elder Lin Shizhen, who is usually responsible for protecting tribe members and repelling incoming beasts and monsters.
"It won't work if we continue like this. We have only been here for ten days and have lost more than ten ordinary people. Three other Lingwu people were injured. If this continues, no one dares to go up the mountain. If we don't go up the mountain to log and quarry, how to build it
Clan land?" said Lin Changye, the elder of the Interior.
"Solving the dangers of the monsters in Beishan is an urgent task!"
Lin Qingshan knew this, but the monsters in Beishan were not so easy to solve. First of all, it was because there was not enough manpower, and ordinary people could only deliver vegetables when facing monsters.
The Lingwu, Lin, is just a few, and each has its own important tasks.
In fact, it is not only the monsters in the North Mountain. In addition to the quieter Turtle Lake in the south, there are beasts appearing from time to time in the forests on the west and east. These beasts often go down the mountain to drink water and occasionally attack the Baihe River to reclaim the fields.
tribe members.
If it is an ordinary beast, it would be fine, but the guards' tribe members drove them away or killed them. The problem is that it not only has ordinary beasts, but also monsters.
The monster has thick skin and strong flesh, and it runs with infinite strength. When it rushes to the crowd, its power is comparable to that of Lin Qingshan's tank in his previous life.
Ordinary Kaiyuan Realm clans can't get it even if they meet.
Shortly after coming to Dahuang, three members of the Spirit Warriors were injured. If this continues, no one will be available in a few months.
It's really not easy to pioneer.
No wonder Pingnanwei's family is unwilling to come to the great wilderness to explore or hunt.
But no matter how difficult the problem is, it still needs to be solved. Lin Qingshan thought for a moment and looked up and said, "I have a way, but I need the cooperation of the weapon refining elder!"
Lin Qingshan merged two-life memories. According to his cognition, the human race in this world is not as developed as in previous lives in hunting.
Unlike Lin Qingshan's previous life, since his birth, the human race in his previous life has swept the world with various tools, eating wherever he goes, extincting one species after another.
Finally, after eating all the animals, I had to move towards agricultural civilization.
The human race in the Lingwu Realm also farms, but this is impossible to defeat the monsters and are forced to farm.
This is not surprising. Although there are countless animals in this world, if you want to make a living by hunting, you have to go to the deep mountains and forests. If you stay in the deep mountains and forests for a long time, you will inevitably encounter monsters.
Ordinary people will almost die when they encounter monsters, unless the monster is full.
Mortal bows and arrows have almost no lethality in front of the thick-skinned monsters.
If you can't beat it, you can't run it even more.
Hunting is extremely dangerous. Ordinary people will not engage in this industry at all. Only some spiritual martial arts cultivators will go to the Great Wilderness to try their luck and hunt some monsters to supplement their cultivation resources.
However, this is also very dangerous. If you accidentally encounter a group of monsters or monsters with far greater strength, you will almost never have a way out.
People like to eat monsters, and monsters also like to eat people, especially spiritual warriors. For monsters, they are an excellent supplement to increase themselves.
In such an environment, coupled with the remote border and backward technical level, there are no excellent hunting tools at all, let alone hunting artifacts and animal traps.
Lin Qingshan’s method is to catch a beast!
The principle of the animal trap is not complicated and the structure is simple, but it is very clever. It uses the principle of a spring to spread the iron clip open, and then use a latch to jamm it, so that it will not be fired. When the beast steps on it, the latch is touched.
Release, the iron clamp will close in an instant and pierce into the beast's ankle.
Lin Qingshan was born in a mountain village in his previous life. When he was a child, he often went up the mountain to set up animal traps and hunted pheasants and hares on the mountain, so he knew very well about animal traps.
At this moment, he introduced the weapon of the trap to everyone in doubt.
After hearing Lin Qingshan’s explanation, everyone immediately understood.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Qingshan made excuses to say that this was what he saw in an ancient book when he was a child. He found it interesting, so he recorded it, but he didn't know if it was useful.
Everyone had no doubts, and Lin's migration lost a lot of things, so it was difficult to find ancient books and other things when they went back.
Making animal traps requires the cooperation of blacksmiths, so Lin Qingshan needs the help of the weapon refining elder Lin Changzhu.
After the meeting was settled that night, Lin Changzhu couldn't wait to find Lin Qingshan to make a trap.
Lin Changzhu is forty years old this year. He is a man in his prime with dark and dry skin. At first glance, he is a person who has been dealing with stoves all year round.
When he was in Pingnan Acropolis, Lin Changzhu was responsible for managing the Lin family's weapon refining workshop. He was an experienced blacksmith himself, and his weapon refining skills were only a little short of what he was earned.
A first-class weapon refiner is a weapon refiner who can refine spiritual weapons.
Spiritual weapons are very precious. Even the worst low-grade spiritual weapons are worth a thousand gold.
What's even more rare is that his middle-grade bloodline qualifications and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Kaiyuan, and he is the seed of the family's concentration. Because of this, Lin Changzhu, who is only forty years old, has become a senior member of the Lin family.
Lin Qingshan drew a sketch of the animal trap, and the two discussed the materials and craftsmanship of the animal trap for an hour.
After finalizing many details, the two of them dispersed and returned to their tents to rest.
Lin Qingshan, who returned to the tent, sat cross-legged, used his mind method, and began to practice "The True Interpretation of Yuandao". He ate a lot of iron wild boar meat these days, and the qi and blood in his body became more vigorous. It was time to practice.
After several cycles of life, as strands of true energy flowed into the meridians, Lin Qingshan felt that the true energy in his body grew a little stronger. He ate a meal of iron wild boar meat every day and practiced much faster, but Lin Qingshan was still not satisfied.
If this continues, you can only cultivate to the ninth level of Kaiyuan at the age of thirty, and then hit the stage of concentration.
Too slow!
I have to find a way to speed up my cultivation, Lin Qingshan was thinking...
The next morning, Lin Qingshan and Lin Changzhuo began to organize hand-made animal traps.
The beast trap made of ordinary iron is powerful enough to cut off the ankles of wild boars, but it is definitely not enough to deal with monsters. Therefore, Lin Qingshan and Lin Changzhu decided to add Misin to the steel that refine the beast trap.
Misin comes with secret power, and a small amount of Misin is incorporated into ordinary iron tools, which can greatly enhance the strength of the iron tools.
The green steel knife that Lin Changye killed Shanfeng and added a lot of mitril silver.
Misilian is very precious and generally ordinary people cannot afford it. Only the spiritual martial arts families like the Lin family can use Misilian to make animal traps.
You should know that the Baiwen copper coins are worth one or two mitr silver, but one or two mitr silver is the size of a finger tip. Taking the green steel blade as an example, a green steel blade must be added at least one ingot of fifty taels of mitr silver. Ordinary people
Where can I afford it?
The Lin family moved to the New Clan and purchased a large number of essential materials such as grain materials and tools. In terms of money, only forty or fifty ingots of mitral silver and three ingots of black gold were left.
Of course, this little money is not enough to maintain the daily operation of the Lin family, but there is nothing we can do. Only these silver ingots are already the bottom of the Lin family's wealth, and now we can only owe the clan members first.
The Lin family is now valuable to only a few martial arts and martial arts, but they cannot be sold. They are the treasures of the tribe.
The monthly salary of the Lingwu clan members is still paid, but the contribution points cannot be used to repay them in the clan treasury.
As for the construction of the tribe land, houses and fertile land, Lin Qingshan promised that the tribe members would be distributed to each household according to their work after they were built, and there were only 30 acres of spiritual land in the tribe.
