Being Chieftan at a Moe Tribe - Chapter 6

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

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!”

Fu Rui took a deep breath and stopped himself from looking down. “I have to climb higher.”

The higher he climbed, the more dangerous it was. After all, the bamboo was too slippery and it was easy to lose his grip.

Under Yuan’s nervous gaze, Fu Rui climbed up step by step. However, even after reaching the top, he still could not bend the bamboo.

This was also what Fu Rui had guessed. However, he had already prepared a solution.

As he continued to sway, he tried his best to bend the bamboo as much as possible. Its center of gravity was lowered and it leaned towards a nearby tree.

Then, he tossed one end of the rope to the other side of the branch.

“Yuan, after climbing up the tree, grab the rope and jump down from there!”

“No problem, meow!”

Yuan had already established complete trust in Fu Rui in one day. After seeing that he could create fire yesterday, she had already treated him as a wizard.

In the tribe, witches were like deities who could do things that others could not.

Soon, the bamboo began to bend due to Yuan’s actions. The bamboo formed an ingenious lever with the branches of the tree, pulling the upper part of the bamboo down.

“It should be able to pull that porcupine in.”

Then, Fu Rui began his follow-up work. He tied the rope to the upper end of the bamboo, but did not tie the rope tightly. He simply restricted how much the bamboo could rebound. After that, he connected the rope to the trigger on the ground below.

At the same time, he made an inverted hook at the top of the bamboo to restrict the direction in which the rope travelled.

There was only one last step left.

He had to dig a sharp knife into the trap.

In fact, this step was dispensable.

With a height of tens of meters, even if the porcupine did not die, it would be severely injured.

However, Fu Rui did not want to see anything unexpected happen.

Since he did not have a sharp knife, he would replace it with a sharpened stick.

He didn’t even need to dig a hole. He only buried the sharpened stick into the ground near the bamboo and simply covered it with dead leaves and branches.

All that was left was to lure the porcupine over.

This place was quite a distance away from the shelter. After working for half a day, they definitely could not outrun the porcupine that had been resting.

Thus, Yuan took the initiative to search for berries nearby, while Fu Rui used the same trick and went to another part of the river to try fishing there.

However, he was not so lucky today. He did not catch a single fish and all the bait was eaten.

Thus, he had no choice but to eat the berries he found by chance and make do with them.

When they were eating, Fu Rui could not help but look at Yuan’s naked body.

He couldn’t do anything about it. To be fair, she was much more delicious than the berries.

“That’s too lewd.”

Fu Rui sighed. After thinking for a while, he took off his T-shirt and put it on Yuan.

As he did so, he accidentally touched Yuan’s chest. That soft touch made his mouth go dry.

“Rui, aren’t you cold, meow?”

Yuan blinked. At the same time, she fiddled with her T-shirt curiously. She pulled and pulled on the shirt, not knowing how much trouble her actions would bring to Fu Rui.

“Yuan, if you keep doing this, I might not be able to resist…”

“Can’t resist what, meow?” Yuan seemed to be very curious about everything.

“I… just… just…” Fu Rui’s face turned red, and he stuttered for a while before saying a word. ” Just… mating…”

“Then don’t hold back, meow.” Unexpectedly, Yuan smiled and did not seem to mind at all. “The previous great witch said that as long as you like it, you can mate anytime~”

Fu Rui was stunned, and impulsive thoughts kept popping up in his mind. However, as he looked at Yuan’s tender body, he couldn’t help but ask, “Yuan, you’re not an adult yet, right?”

“An adult? What do you mean?”

“That is… when you’ve grown up enough to do anything?”

Yuan meowed, lost in thought. “According to the witch… it seems to take a while…”

As she spoke, she seemed to be a little disappointed. “Meow, if I haven’t grown up, I can’t mate with Rui…”

Fu Rui didn’t dare to continue the conversation and buried his head in the berries instead.

After resting, he let Yuan take care of this trap while he returned to the shelter alone.

From afar, he could see that the porcupine scout was still resting. It even made the bonfire beside him burn even brighter, as if it was roasting something.

“Hey, stupid porcupine!”

Fu Rui knew that the other party couldn’t understand what he was saying, so he raised his middle finger in a provocative manner.

“Hmph!”

As expected, this porcupine was angry.
