Douluo: My Sand Sculpture Player

Chapter 76 Vicious

Double-sided four sets of traps have vertical wooden stakes firmly nailed to the ground, horizontal horizontal arms stuck on the notches in the middle to maintain balance, and a portion of bait placed on each end. Tie the four rope sleeves directly to the elastic line, tie a small stick at the end of the lower part of the elastic line, and the two ends of the small stick are stuck on the small chute of the vertical arm and the bait arm to form an equilateral triangle structure to maintain balance.

When prey touches the bait, it loosens the bait arm, opening the trap. This method is very efficient and can also catch prey coming from the opposite direction. Used in open areas of the forest to deal with small carnivorous spirit beasts.

In the double elastic rope trap, the lower ends of the two elastic logs are firmly nailed to the ground, and the other ends are tightened and hooked to each other to maintain balance. The upper end of the vertical bait arm is tied to the spring wood, and four double-sided rope sleeves are tied to the two spring wood respectively. Pay attention to the design of the hook on the upper end of the spring wood. The sling wire must be stiff enough so that it maintains the proper loop shape. After the prey bites the bait, it will drive the hook, and the bullet wood will drive the rope to lift the prey off the ground.

To trigger the bait release trap, insert one end of the horizontal bait arm into the notch of the short wooden stake, and connect the other end with the sleeve arm of the vertical rope to form a trigger mechanism. The noose lies flat on the ground beneath the bait. There is also a horizontal arm, and the two ends are stuck on the fork stakes, and then the middle is stuck with an elastic line tied to the upper end of the rope sleeve arm to maintain balance. After the prey drags the bait arm, the chain mechanism will be triggered, and the elastic line will be released, thereby driving the rope to lift the soul beast off the ground.

The player camp is located in a plain forest terrain. The vast surrounding forest has become the best place for soul beasts to hide their traces, but it has also become the best place for players to lay traps. At the same time, the large amount of wood resources in the soul hunting forest has also provided players with Convenient conditions are provided for making traps.

According to Da Sima's instructions and arrangements, players set various types of traps around the forest near the player's camp.

At the same time, near each trap, players will carve skull marks on the tree trunks to indicate that traps have been installed nearby, to remind other players not to approach, and to prevent the newly created traps from being stepped on by their own people. Not only would that harm other players, it would also waste a trap and the time needed to lay out a large number of traps.

The above-mentioned traps are very effective in capturing and killing small and medium-sized spirit beasts.

However, considering that in this officially set event, there may be soul beasts with a century-old or even a thousand-year cultivation among the beasts attacking the player camp, Da Sima decided to add some more ingredients to these traps.

So far, the strongest soul beast that players have ever seen is Xiao Wu, a hundred thousand year old ferocious beast.

But this has no meaning at all as a reference, because Xiao Wu is no different from an ordinary cartilaginous rabbit at ordinary times, and it is impossible to tell how powerful she is.

Da Sima often went in and out of the Soul Hunting Forest with A Yin and Zhang San. The strongest soul beast he had ever seen was just a Gangfeng Tiger with a cultivation level of 642 years. If the other party hadn't eaten and drank enough that time, I'm afraid none of them can escape with their lives.

But it is precisely because he has seen the power of soul beasts with a cultivation level of more than a hundred years that Da Sima understands better that the traps they have set now may be more than enough to deal with soul beasts with a cultivation level of less than a hundred years, but they cannot deal with soul beasts with a cultivation level of more than a hundred years. He started to feel powerless, let alone deal with thousand-year-level soul beasts.

Just in case, Da Sima continued to increase the number of traps.

The working principle of the rockfall trap is that when the prey pounces on the bait, the mechanism is triggered, causing a heavy object to fall and hit the prey. Suitable for capturing and killing relatively large spirit beasts such as Earth Bear and Gangfeng Tiger. Large rock traps can capture larger spirit beasts.

It is impossible to set up large rockfall traps by yourself. Da Sima sets falling rock traps on several paths that soul beasts must take to lead to the player's camp. They must keep a safe distance from falling heavy objects, otherwise it will be very risky. Balance is very important and most likely won't work the first time.

The mechanical principle of triggering a rockfall trap is similar to that of triggering a rope trap, that is, using the release rod to support one end of the toggle rod to maintain balance. Tie a long line to the other end of the trigger mechanism, use the tree as a fixed pulley, and carry a heavy object on the other end of the long line. One end of the trip wire is tied to the middle of the release rod, and the other end is tied to a fixed point after passing through the ground just below the weight. Use grapevines as trip wires.

The balance beam rock trap has both ends of the forked rod sharpened to ensure a sensitive trigger mechanism. The forked branch is placed horizontally under the weight, with appropriate bait set at the front end. The upper end of the vertical fork supports the crossbar to maintain the balance of the weight. The weights can be heavy rocks or logs. When the spirit beast pounces on the bait, it will drive the forked rod, thus destroying the balance. The heavy object can collapse in an instant, hitting the prey.

Square Surface Release Trap The contact surface between the loaded horizontal rod and the horizontally bifurcated vertical rod should be square where the trigger contacts. The lower end of the vertical rod is sharpened to minimize the contact surface with the ground, thereby improving the sensitivity of the rock trap mechanism.

To trigger a bait release trap, use a pillar to support a rock or a bundle of logs, place the middle part of the pillar on a fork stake fixed on the ground to maintain balance, and support the other end diagonally on the ground. One end of the rope is tied to the trigger bar, and the other end is passed through the fork stake and tied to the lower end of the pillar. One end of the bait stick rests on the trigger stick and the other end supports the log. When the spirit beast pounces on the bait under the heavy object, it will pull the bait rod, causing the trigger rod to lose balance and be released, and the heavy object will quickly fall down.

For the deadly rockfall trap, first fix three small wooden stakes, two of them parallel to the bottom of the tree trunk, and the other to the ground on the other side of the soul beast's trail. Lift the weight from one end of the rope, across the tree and down the trunk, through the wooden stake at the bottom, clamp it with a horizontal trigger bar to maintain balance, then pull it horizontally in the horizontal direction, and tie it to the third small log through the ground. On the pile. Choose a long rope to ensure that when the trigger bar slips, the weight can hit the ground instantly.

The "4"-shaped deadly rock trap may seem a bit complicated, but it is actually easy to remember, easy to learn, and efficient, and can be designed in any size. The horizontal bait rod is balanced on the vertical fixed rod through the concave cutout. The tip of the locking rod is diagonally supported on the bait rod chute, the middle part is supported on the top of the vertical rod, and the upper part supports the weight above the bait. Pay attention to the cutting method of the incisions at each intersection. Sharpen the lower end of the locking rod so it can be released quickly.

The principle of the sharp knife pile trap is the same as that of the deadly rock trap. Stones can be used to increase the weight of the falling wood, and a sharp knife pile is tied to the fallen wood. The sharp knife is composed of sharpened bamboo thorns. The combination of sharp blows and sharp stabs will produce a better effect.

The elastic sharp knife trap is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening trap that can effectively deal with large spirit beasts. The upper end of the elastic trunk is tied firmly to the tree, and the lower end is tied to a sharp stake. Make a sliding ring out of a climbing plant or smooth material, rather than rough branches that might snag the mechanism, and tie it to the trip wire.

Keep it bent under the action of the trigger mechanism. A stick is also needed to pass through the sliding ring and stick to the elastic trunk and the upright pillar to maintain balance. After the soul beast stumbles on the trigger wire, it pulls the ring away, allowing the sharp knife stake to quickly stab the prey under the elasticity of the tree trunk.

The horizontal picket trap is similar to the elastic sharp knife trap, but the sharp knife stake is tied vertically to the front end of a taut vertical elastic tree trunk, and the other end of the horizontal elastic trunk is tied to four short wooden stakes fixed to the ground. There is a fixed wooden stake on both sides of the road, and a short horizontal rod is tied to the top of one of them. Under the joint action of the mechanical rod and the corresponding wire loop, the taut elastic tree trunk is kept balanced. The trip rope pulled from another long wooden stake is put through a circular collar on the horizontal short stick and the trap stick to form the trigger of the trap.

It is important to remember that, precisely because of the threat posed by the stake trap, the ropes and knots must be very strong to ensure the stability of the taut elastic trunk. Do not approach picket traps easily, and use extreme caution when moving around where traps are set.

The baited elastic picket trap uses a tripwire hanging the bait to drive the pull ring to release the trigger rod, so that the picket will quickly plunge towards the prey driven by the curved and taut elastic trunk. To increase its effectiveness, several pickets can be firmly tied parallel to the corresponding positions of the elastic trunk.

The perch picket trap is very effective in catching flexible spirit beasts. It is similar to the bait elastic picket trap, but uses a branch instead of the bait to turn the entire trigger switch. If you put the safety tab on the tree trunk, you must ensure that the contact surface is smooth so that it is easy to touch.

The bow trap is a simple bow made of appropriate spring wood, which is then placed on a fork stake fixed on the ground. The arrow is placed on the taut string, and the trigger rod connected to the trip rope is pressed against the lower end of the trigger rod. , the upper end of the trigger rod is stuck on the downward groove on the side of the arrow tail, thereby keeping the open bow and arrow balanced. Use three short wooden stakes that are far apart and fixed on the ground to change the force direction of the trip rope, so that when the prey touches the trip rope, it is exactly in the direction pointed by the arrow. This type of trap is suitable for catching large spirit beasts running towards you or spirit beasts approaching from the side of the trip rope. The arrow will hit the prey running towards the middle and front.

Pit-bait lasso traps require digging a hole which damages the environment and leaves a lasting mark, alerting spirit beasts. But on the other hand, some soul beasts, driven by strong curiosity, will still come to test. Three-tailed foxes and needle boars will dig and dig holes, and these holes will attract their attention. When they stretch their necks to sniff, they can no longer retract once they are past the mouth of the picket. If you test it with your claws, you will also fall into the trap.

In addition to dealing with beast-like spirit beasts on land, players are also wary of threats from the sky. After all, there are not many long-range offensive weapons on hand today.

For this reason, Da Sima also devised a soul beast trap specifically targeting birds.

A net is the simplest way to catch birds by setting a net in a tree where birds and spirit beasts often hang out. If there is no snare, you can also use cross-shaped cross ropes and tie them in the woods where the bird-like spirit beasts fly through. The bird-like spirit beasts may also accidentally bump into them.

Birdlime can be used to easily capture birds and spirit beasts. Holly leaves are mixed with starch-rich grains and boiled in water to form a sticky paste that cools down to make a good glue. Apply it to branches or other places where bird-like soul beasts live, and you can stick to the bird-like soul beasts that fly to it.

A suspended noose is a long rope suspended above the stream near the water, with a series of nooses suspended parallel to it, preferably set up among reeds and small bushes.

Bait hooks bury bird hooks in fruits or other food. This is an effective method of catching bird-like soul beasts. Bird-like spirit beasts will accidentally eat hooks into their throats.

Rope sticks: Tie nooses with a diameter of 1.25 to 2.5 cm adjacent to long sticks or branches. It is best to use horsehair or other tougher materials. The stick can be placed near the habitat or nest of the bird spirit beast, with the noose facing up. Bird-like soul beasts will be trapped when they fall. Don't rush away after catching a bird, because it will attract other bird-like spirit beasts, and more bird-like spirit beasts will fall on it soon.

The principle of "4" shaped bird trap can be found in the "4" shaped rock trap.

Tie branches into a pyramid-shaped birdcage and use diagonal rods to support it above the bait. When capturing birds and soul beasts, you can also quickly make a simple but practical birdcage: first design all the sticks as required, then take two sticks with the same length as the bottom and place them on the top, and use ropes to connect them to the bottom sticks. The strips are tied together so that the sticks arranged in the middle are in corresponding positions. Large birds can easily destroy this kind of bird cage, and to catch them it is necessary to tie each adjacent stick tightly.

There are many different ways you can try making a birdcage. You can also use a box or basin of suitable size, use a long stick connected with a tripwire to prop up one side of the birdcage, hold the other end of the tripwire, and hide it not far away. When the bird-like spirit beast enters the bottom of the birdcage, quickly pull the trip rope and pull down the long stick, and the birdcage will quickly fall down to catch the bird-like spirit beast. Sprinkle a small amount of bait around and underneath the bird's cage. This type of birdcage works best in areas with a large number of birds.

The net release trap places the bird net flat on the ground. The four corners of the net are tied to the top of the same elastic tree trunk with long lines, and another straight line is connected to the trigger bar and the top of the elastic tree trunk to maintain the balance of the system. One end of the bait platform is pressed against a fixed low wooden stake, and the other end is pressed against the lower edge of the trigger rod. The entire triggering mechanism system must be quite sensitive, so that the weight of a bird-like soul beast can drive it to release.

It must be noted that when setting traps, players must make sure to clearly mark them to prevent others from triggering the mechanism and causing harm. Knife traps and rockfall traps must be supervised by experienced players in the early stages to avoid accidentally injuring others, as they may cause serious injury or death.
