The sound came not from the front, but from the side of the house.
On the side of the cabin, apart from the animal pens, was the animal trap he had arranged. Is it possible that because of the strong wind, the animal trap hit the cabin and made a thumping sound?
Xu Shiying thought about it carefully and realized that it was really possible.
So he opened the door again, looked around first, and after making sure there was no danger, walked out of the door and came to the side of the cabin.
Sure enough, the animal trap was rolling in the grass, and the sound just now was obviously caused by it.
It seemed that the bait was very successful and the beast was caught so quickly.
I don’t know what it is, is it a three-eyed black rabbit?
Xu Shiying's face was full of curiosity. He knelt down and looked towards the cage door. Inside was an agouti.
It's just that the agouti inside is in a strange state, with a lot of spines missing, especially on the lower jaw, which is almost bald.
All the bald places were stained red with blood.
What did this little guy do?
At this time, Xu Shiying noticed that there were thorns all over the cage. Could it be that the agouti used the thorns on its body as flying needles and wanted to shoot through the cage and escape?
He seemed to have discovered a new world, looking at the agouti with curiosity in his eyes.
However, the next scene left him speechless.
I saw the agouti struggling to pull out a long thorn on its body and hanging it in its mouth. I thought his target was a certain rattan.
As long as one of them can be punctured or broken, it can escape smoothly.
However, people hang a long thorn and stab it at the meat pieces placed in the bait tank. Because the place where it gets stuck is not close to the meat pieces, they hope to use the power of the long thorns to stab the meat pieces.
The result was failure every time, and this time was no exception.
It's just that when stabbing the meat, the body exerts force, and the animal trap is round, so under the operation of the agouti, the animal trap will hit the wooden wall, and at first it sounds like someone is banging.
Xu Shiying was speechless when the mystery was solved.
There was obviously a vine beside it, but many long thorns were unintentionally pierced, causing cracks somewhere in the vine. Moreover, the vine was not far away from it, and it was pierced with a little effort.
As long as it stabs it again, the cane will definitely break. Its body is not big, and the exit after the cane breaks is enough for it to escape smoothly.
It's a pity that no one expected that their goal was not to escape, but to get meat.
Calling it a greedy rat is not unfair at all.
Although he felt sorry that the agouti could not escape, he only regretted it for three seconds. Any more seconds would make him look pretentious.
Xu Shiying picked up the animal cage. The agouti in the cage sensed the crisis and made a squeaking sound. Unfortunately, no matter how tragic its cry was, Xu Shiying was not going to let it go.
He entered the house with the animal trap, closed the door, and sat down by the stove to figure out how to tame the agouti.
Although this little guy is greedy, the long thorns on his body are a big problem. As long as he dares to reach into the cage, this little guy will dare to bite him.
Even if you catch it successfully, you will be pricked by its thorns.
Will using the scroll fail if I don't catch it?
He wanted to put the agouti into a stable to let it calm down for a while, but this guy seemed to be able to dig holes, and the newly built stable could not withstand its tossing back and forth.
"That's all, let's try it first. If it doesn't work, then catch it and use it. Anyway, the scroll has three chances to tame it."
Xu Shiying thought for a moment, picked up the scroll on the ground, followed the instructions on the scroll, and recited the mysterious spell.
In the dark, a magical power surged towards the agouti. The originally noisy agouti suddenly became quiet, its eyelids twitched, and it seemed that it would fall asleep at any time.
Xu Shiying felt happy, knowing it had worked.
However, the next moment, the agouti's eyes returned to clear, and it made a squeaking sound, as if it was saying something to Xu Shiying.
The agouti woke up, and the number of uses on the scroll was reduced by one. Xu Shiying was not disappointed, but thought about why he failed just now.
The moment the spell was uttered, it obviously reacted to the agouti, but it soon recovered.
Did he pronounce the spell wrong?
No, it's not!
Xu Shiying lowered his head and thought. Suddenly he raised his head and thought of a possibility.
The animal taming scroll is similar to hypnosis in a sense, starting from the spiritual level.
So is it understandable that the more mentally fragile the agouti is, the higher the success rate of domestication?
The current agouti is in a state of fear and resistance, which means that the current agouti cannot be domesticated.
If you want to successfully domesticate the agouti, you can only try to make the agouti relax its vigilance, or in other words, the agouti is not that energetic.
Xu Shiying thought for a while and decided to try it with sliced meat.
Didn’t the little guy never eat slices of meat? Then let it eat enough, and maybe it will relax its vigilance while eating.
So Xu Shiying took the remaining pieces of meat in the gray package on the ground, opened the cage door, and poured them all in.
After falling down, in order to make it easier for the agouti to eat the meat pieces, he pulled out a long thorn on the cage and pushed the meat pieces forward. He had been on alert a few times when he saw the long thorn in his hand, aimed at the opportunity, and bit hard. , actually bit off the long thorn.
This amazing bite force startled him.
Xu Shiying stopped moving the pieces of meat to avoid being bitten by the agouti. He carefully placed the cage on the ground and waited quietly.
This process is like boiling an eagle.
He needs to lower the agouti's guard first, and then eat the meat slices in the cage. As long as the agouti eats the meat slices, the agouti will feel a sense of satisfaction.
Because I haven’t been able to eat it, but when I finally eat it, the feeling of satisfaction will be even stronger.
This is the best time to domesticate agouti.
Now...
Xu Shiying sat quietly by the stove for nearly an hour, during which he added some more firewood. Even when he added firewood, he didn't make the slightest sound.
Just to avoid scaring the agouti, so that the agouti is not always on alert.
After sitting for another ten minutes, Xu Shiying felt that the fire was almost done, so he bent down and carefully observed the state of the agouti in the cage. If it was still in high spirits, he would have to continue waiting.
He bent down and saw the agouti in the cage eating all the meat in the cage. He was a little drowsy at this time, and Xu Shiying knew that it was almost time.
Just to be on the safe side, he wanted to wait another five minutes before taming it.
Five minutes later, Xu Shiying recited the spell again. The agouti who heard the spell did not resist this time. It was already drowsy, but now it closed its eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, Xu Shiying felt that there seemed to be a strange change in his body, and he seemed to have a subtle connection with the agouti in the cage.
It was as if he could know every move of the agouti, and he even felt that even if he asked the agouti to jump off the cliff, the agouti would jump off without hesitation.
He knew that this was successful domestication.
Xu Shiying whispered to wake up the agouti. The agouti in the cage opened its eyes drowsily, looked around warily, and made a squeaking sound. The moment it saw Xu Shiying, its eyes flashed. Have a little joy.
"Okay, I'll let you out now!" Xu Shiying smiled, opened the cage door, and released the agouti from the cage.
Although the agouti made a squeaking sound, he could clearly understand what it meant. This feeling was magical and wonderful.
"Come on, take a spin!"
Looking at the agouti coming out of the cage, Xu Shiying opened his mouth and ordered.
Hearing Xu Shiying's words, the agouti turned around in a cooperative manner. After completing the circle, it hugged Xu Shiying's thigh, as if asking for praise.
