Hunting a black bear requires patience, as black bears are very smart and any slight flaw will alert them, rendering the trap ineffective.
Anyway, when Zhao Ya returned to the trap the next day, he found it empty.
Not discouraged, Zhao Ya set it up again and placed a new bait inside the trap.
Niu Yuan had taught him about bait specifically, saying it must first have a salty taste.
Because, for wild beasts in the mountains, salt is the most precious thing, and a piece of fresh meat with salt is irresistibly tempting to them.
Secondly, it shouldn't be too obvious.
Beasts are not fools; especially those mutated creatures are very clever.
If you place the bait too obviously, it won't work.
Zhao Ya carefully arranged the bait according to Niu Yuan's instructions, then found a place to hide.
Patience is a basic quality of an excellent hunter.
Zhao Ya stayed hidden in the forest for more than an hour, his eyes fixed on the animal trail.
Finally.
