Chapter 664 - 283: Preparing to Capture_3
People crouched inside the cellar, and after covering the lid, it blended in with the surrounding environment from above.
After busying with the camouflage of the cellar, the next step was to set up the most crucial part—the net.
Lin Yang tied a rectangular frame with fine pine poles and hung the four sides of the net on it, stretching taut. Behind the frame, a stick was slanted as support.
Two corners were tied to wooden stakes on the ground, and on the top frame, he tied a rope made from six strands of PE line, extending it all the way into the cellar not far away.
Once the trap was set, his followers finally understood his intention.
Well, by placing a live Thunderbird as bait on one side of the net, if a Spear Falcon dived down to attack, they would pull the net and trap the falcon inside.
Most of the materials used were woods and pine branches commonly found in the wilderness, which did not look out of place at all. The masterpiece was the hawk-catching net handwoven by Lin Yang.
Since the net had very large holes and hung slanted on the frame, it was very inconspicuous; it was nearly impossible for a raptor with no prior capture experience to notice it.
With all the arrangements in place, everything was ready except for one final element.
"Alright, our site preparation is basically done. Next, we’ll just need a bit of luck. There’s not much time until it gets dark. From tomorrow morning, we’ll need to keep watch here from the cellar. Let’s head back to the shelter now and prepare the food and falconry equipment we’ll need for the coming days," Lin Yang said.
After greeting everyone, Lin Yang led his group back to the cabin, where they continued their preparations.
