The protagonist really can't bear the days when these disgusting, obscene, and destined-to-die cockroaches hang around outside his nest every day, and from time to time extend their long dark red tentacles in to harass him. In particular, these parasitic cockroaches are still trying to corrode and chew through the exterior walls, and the disgusting smell of corrosive liquid often floats into the room.
At night, when I was finally able to go out, I was shocked to find that the ground was full of foul-smelling excrement left by cockroaches, which also carried deadly germs.
These cockroaches are synonymous with filth, disease and death. No matter where in the world, cockroaches are the most disgusting existence. God created this species to disgust other creatures!
The protagonist regrets a little. Since there are no parasitic cockroaches today and there is no threat from water cannons, he should go out to fight with the Angel King's army. At least kill or drive away these cockroaches so that he does not have to endure their harassment all the time.
However, because he was worried about battle losses, especially the parasitic dragon louse that would appear at any time without knowing where he was hiding, the protagonist did not take the risk and lead his army into battle.
It’s okay to let the parasitic beasts toss around like this every day. When the protagonist inspected the outer wall of the ant mound at night, he found that some areas were seriously damaged, especially those areas repaired with new ant concrete, which were often fragile and soft. It was completely destroyed and could not achieve the desired repair effect at all.
It seems that without a fire to speed up the drying process of the repairs, the damage to the anthill will only become worse.
This is also an important reason to determine what countermeasures the protagonist must take.
During the day, the protagonist who was forced to be trapped in the anthill was not idle. He rummaged around in the nest warehouse for available supplies. When he saw a pile of rich supplies, the protagonist thought of a way.
Among the few supplies in [Swamp City], there are many ropes woven with plant fiber or ant silk. In other words, this is the only supply that is not in short supply in [Swamp City]. After all, there are many ropes around the island. Some plants, such as humulus, can also be collected as rope materials, and the ants themselves can also secrete mucus to make ant silk.
The protagonist plans to use these ropes to create some simple traps.
In the ignorant period of mankind, primitive people only had fire and simple and rough stone tools. Their hunting efficiency was still very low, and it was difficult to capture some large prey. At this time, traps were a good assistant to help primitive humans catch all kinds of prey.
When modern humans survive in the wild, they can also use local materials to make simple traps using ropes, wood, stones, etc. to obtain food.
This type of trap has the advantages of being simple, practical, and easy to make. According to the type, it includes hanging neck traps, rope loop traps, spike traps, falling wood (rockfall) traps, pits, etc. According to the type of prey, it can be roughly divided into For large game traps, bird traps, fishing traps, etc.
The small fish cage used by the protagonist to catch aquatic insects made by the warriors of the King of Gods was a kind of fishing trap, but there are no fish in this world anymore...it can only be used to catch small aquatic insects.
Now, the prey that the protagonist needs to catch is huge, so only traps suitable for catching large prey can be used. Small hanging neck traps and other traps will be eliminated first.
The island where [Swamp City] is located is small, and there is no place to dig a large enough pit. In addition, vegetation is scarce, especially wood, and stone is not abundant. The only richness is silt and clay.
Faced with various adverse conditions, the protagonist finally decided to build the simplest rope trap. This kind of trap is so simple that it only requires a rope.
This kind of rope loop trap is a fixed rope loop loop. If the leg accidentally steps into the rope loop when the prey passes by, when the leg is lifted forward, the rope loop will tighten and wrap around the leg. The more it struggles, the tighter it becomes. Although it does not have the ability to kill prey, it can restrain its movements and wait for hunters to come and capture it.
If this type of trap is for hunting, then it needs to be placed on the only path of the prey, such as water sources, feeding grounds, near nests, etc., or food baits can be used to lure the prey closer, otherwise the capture rate will be very low.
But the protagonist doesn't need this. The island [Swamp City] is only so big, and parasitic beasts come every day. As long as you set up a trap, some unlucky guy will be caught.
What needs to be worried about is whether the strength of these parasitic beasts is greatly increased after being parasitized, and whether the enemy will break free from the rope trap.
But the protagonist thought of catching a dragonfly when he was a child and wrapping a cotton thread around its feet. The dragonfly could not get rid of it no matter what. The ropes woven with hemp fiber and ant silk that I have now are stronger and more durable, so there should be no problem.
So, one night, the protagonist commanded the warriors of the God Envoy King to weave rope loops. These soldier ant warriors were not as dexterous in making tools as the worker ants, but they could not handle the overwhelming number of ants. After half a night, they had made more than a dozen rope loops. .
In the middle of the night, the protagonist took two teams of the God Envoy King warriors to lay traps.
These rope loops must be fixed on fixed objects such as trees to be effective, and the island where [Swamp City] is located is small, with scarce vegetation, and the newly built ant mounds are even more bare.
The protagonist can only lead the ants to fix a dozen rope traps on the roots of plants on the water bank. These humulus and calamus look very strong, and it is certainly impossible for prey to tear these plants apart.
A dozen rope traps were lined up around the bottom of the anthill, and the protagonist went back to catch up on his sleep, looking forward to tomorrow's results.
——I am the dividing line——
The next day, the army of parasitic beasts attacked again. This time, parasitic dragon lice and parasitic cockroaches appeared together, but the parasitic locusts and parasitic dragonflies disappeared.
All day long, the protagonist continued to lead the defenders, unable to get out. Anyway, there were parasitic dragon lice, and if he went out, he would be killed.
He endured until evening, when the enemy withdrew, and the protagonist led the team out. Ignoring the horribly damaged outer walls of the anthill, the protagonist went to check the traps first.
To the protagonist's surprise, the trap not only caught a parasitic cockroach, but also a parasitic dragon louse!
The parasitic cockroach was trapped in a trap on the shore. Two of its six arthropods were caught in the rope loop. It was struggling and trying to break the rope with its mouthparts and corrosive liquid. But the rope loops made of hemp and ant silk also withstood the test and showed no signs of breaking.
As for the parasitic dragon louse, it came too close when it sprayed the water cannon. The water it sprayed washed the rope loop tied to the calamus on the shore into the water, and was accidentally trapped. It was really no zuo no die. …
The protagonist immediately commanded the troops to swarm forward and quickly killed the parasitic cockroaches that could not move.
Then, the ants began to try to pull the rope and pull the damn parasitic dragon louse ashore!
