Looking at Yuan’s surprised and confused expression, Fu Rui did not explain much to her.

Currently, there was a shortage of food. Thus, he did not want to give up on the delicious meat of the porcupine in front of him.

However, if he wanted to kill this creature, he would have to rely on the knowledge of traps that he had just obtained from the system.

The steps to create a trap were a little complicated. Fu Rui had already chosen three kinds of traps in his mind and combined them according to their functions. He even simulated a complete hunting process.

It should work!

After being chased by this porcupine for so long, Fu Rui had accumulated a lot of anger in his heart.

The porcupine had caused Yuan to suffer so many injuries from thorns and branches. If he did not kill this stupid porcupine, how could he endure it?

He immediately began to gather the necessary materials from the surrounding area.

In order for the traps to have the ability to kill large wild beasts, the materials had to be of extremely high quality.

However, the moment he made a move, he encountered a problem.

“We don’t have a nylon rope or a spring,” Fu Rui muttered.

The trap-making methods provided by the system required the combination of modern products. Thus, Fu Rui had no choice but to combine his basic jungle survival knowledge and replace those materials with natural plants.

Beside him, Yuan blinked, “Rui, do you need help?”

“Do you know which plants are more flexible?”

“Flexible… what does that mean, meow?”

“It means that the plant won’t break easily.”

“Meow… I don’t know…”

“Then it’s fine. You just have to act cute.”

Fu Rui was a little helpless. It seemed like Yuan could not help him.

Thus, he could only use the most primitive and stupid method.

That was to try the plants out one by one.

However, this was very dangerous. If he came into contact with poisonous plants, once they touched the wound on his hand, his life would basically be lost here.

Furthermore, the plants in this world were different from those on Earth. Many of them were species that he had never seen before.

Thus, Fu Rui could only rely on his own knowledge to determine if the target plant was poisonous.

Lady Luck had blessed him today.

Even when the sky turned pale and the forest was no longer so dark, he still did not feel anything strange in his body.

It should be fine.

“There are insects feeding on its sap. This one might not be poisonous either.”

Once again, Fu Rui used a stone knife to cut down a plant from its roots. Then, he kneaded it into a fibrous long strip before pulling hard on it.

It didn’t break.

Then, he tried hanging the rope on a branch at the side. His feet were suspended in the air as he held onto the rope. After spending a while in the air with this long rope, it finally broke.

“It’s flexible enough, but… If I want to hang that porcupine, I’d have to weave it into a rope.”

Fu Rui immediately asked Yuan to help him collect this type of plant while he began to search for something that could replace springs.

Meanwhile, the porcupine scout was resting in the shelter that he had built. He had to hurry as the porcupine could leave at any moment.

However, after looking around, he still had no clue.

Fu Rui had no choice but to start with the trap, hoping that it would work.

“The spring will be placed on the rebounder to allow the rope to rapidly rise into the air after binding its target, causing the target to be suspended in midair.”

“In this case, I can replace the lever with bamboo and use the flexibility of the bamboo to provide power when it rebounds. Then, I can set up a simple triggering device and place it in the rope coil…”

Fu Rui needed to find a bamboo forest to confirm his thoughts.

Coincidentally, when he was searching for flexible plants, he encountered a bamboo forest. Thus, this problem was easily solved.

Meanwhile, Yuan had already collected a lot of materials, which were enough for Fu Rui to make a long rope.

Fu Rui processed the materials one by one. After spending a considerable amount of time, he finally completed the rope.

After ensuring that it would not break, he brought the rope to the bamboo forest.

The bamboo was not easy to cut and was not easy to climb up either.

Thus, Fu Rui had no choice but to use a long, crooked piece of bamboo and hang it in the middle of another ordinary bamboo tree.

He tried to sway his body and bend the bamboo with his weight, but he failed.

“Rui, be careful, meow!” Below him, Yuan looked at him worriedly.

“Don’t worry!”
