Two hours later, a Frost Wolf stepped onto an animal trap in the snow, lured by the torch’s light.

Unlike before, when the Snow Mane’s bones were merely caught, this time the Frost Wolf’s left forelimb was nearly severed.

And because the Frost Wolf sensed danger and tried to flee, its speed was so fast that a large chunk of flesh was torn from its entire left leg, leaving the bones almost completely exposed, the scene was quite horrifying.

Despite the Frost Wolf’s agility and reaction speed being even faster than the previous Snow Mane, opting for an early escape, the animal trap’s strong pull and restraint, coupled with Xia Hong’s meticulous prearrangement, led to its demise on the spot, with Xia Chuan extracting its Essence Blood.

As Luo Yuan and the others looked at the Frost Wolf’s corpse, weighing over a thousand pounds on the ground, and then up at the sky, they realized only half the night had passed, yet they had already harvested two prey, and their expressions began to show numbness.

When did hunting become so easy?

It’s not that they didn’t exert any effort, but compared to previous hunts led by Luo Ming, the dangers encountered tonight were almost negligible.

Both the previous Snow Mane and the current Frost Wolf were lured by the torch to step onto the animal trap, injuring their legs, reducing their full strength by thirty or forty percent.

After a wave of arrows, if not killed, they would be skinned alive, and finally, with Xia Hong leading the five of them, the prey was obtained effortlessly.

Moreover, while hunting the second Frost Wolf, they used Xia Chuan’s White Thread to replace the rope; no matter how the Frost Wolf pulled, the thread held steady.

In terms of time, hunting it was even easier than the Snow Mane.

“With this animal trap, if I personally lead the team, hunting low-level Cold Beasts in the future should be no problem; it’s just a matter of time before we clear them from the perimeter!”

After two consecutive hunts, Xia Hong had already confirmed the effectiveness and power of the animal trap he personally crafted, greatly boosting his confidence for future hunts.

“Leader, can this animal trap be mass-produced?”

Luo Yuan’s question immediately brightened everyone’s expressions.

However, Xia Hong shook his head, slowly removing the animal trap from the Frost Wolf’s leg, and said, “This animal trap was made from Ten-forged Iron that I personally crafted for both the main body and the spring.

Just the iron ore alone weighed twelve hundred pounds.

It’s not the same as the ordinary ironware previously made at Rogel Camp.

Given the current camp’s reserves of iron ore and mining capacity, mass production is impossible…”

Pausing for a moment, Xia Hong continued, “Even if we could craft two or three more now, we still wouldn’t be able to use them.”

Upon hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Recalling the two hunting processes just now, although the animal trap played a significant role, more crucial was their frontal blockage; more accurately, the fatal injuries of the two prey were almost entirely caused by Xia Hong.

So, strictly speaking, while the animal trap could injure a Cold Beast, relying on it to reap rewards without preparation was impossible.

Without prior arrangement and supplementary force from those at the Earth-digging Realm, the likely outcome would be a severely injured Cold Beast escaping with the trap.

In such a case, they would end up with nothing.

“Therefore, if any of you breaks through to the Earth-digging Realm first, with the animal trap’s help, the camp could definitely establish a second Hunting Team.

At that point, hunting ability would be greatly enhanced, and the prey harvest would naturally reach a higher level.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up.

They had all witnessed the experiment tonight firsthand.

One Earth-digging Realm, an animal trap, plus several at the Logging Realm, and not to mention encountering unfamiliar Cold Beasts; at least tonight proved that Snow Manes and Frost Wolves, as long as they are cautious, are almost easy to hunt.

Given tonight’s hunting progress, let alone Xia Hong’s earlier proposed meat distribution rules being smoothly implemented, Cold Beast Meat might even be in excess.

Luo Yuan and the other eight exchanged glances, then looked at Xia Hong.
