Brad went to gather more seeds of the poppy while also spreading some near the entrance of his Cave. So if any animals try to sniff their way in they would fall victim to drug addiction, just kidding.
Brad scouted the area to see if there are any herd or groups of animals in the vicinity. This time he also brought his Legolas' Bow replica which he had tightened already last night. The arrows he had made were not that great looking as it doesn't have like a feather on it's other tip to make the arrow fly better.
But he had laced the arrow tip with a juice that he had made with the Narcotic mushroom, the crushed seeds of the poppy and the aphrodisiac herb. The increased heart rate from the aphrodisiac would make the opium travel faster in the blood system of the target.
Hopefully the arrow could peirce through the hides of these animals. Bard suddenly stopped as he saw the tracks of which he surmised as the Terror Bird's claw print. He crouched down to see if there are any animals nearby, seeing not disturbance he followed where this track would lead him so he went follow it silently in the shadows.
Brad came across a clearing about a hundred and fifty meters away from where he had seen the tracks. He looked around and saw some kind of burrow where there are feathers scattered all over. He looked around and saw a large tree with lots of leaves where he could hide.
He went to that place and climd up on the tree, he checked if there are any crittters but it seemed there was none. So that means that this is where the possible den of the Terror Birds, he scouted the area for any possible points of exit other that the one he had seen and indeed there was an insconspicuous hole on one large dead tree.
Brad thought that maybe he can't get pork today but chicken tenders is on the Menu, he climbed down and crouch to where the other exit was and found air seems to flow out from here. A fishy kind of smell assaulted his nose much similar to the ones someone would smell on a chicken farm but with an extra hint of decay.
Brad felt that should he try to use smoke using the one he likes to call the 'Hypno-shrrom' (Plants vs Zombies mushroom that turns zombies into allies). He went to find some dried sticks, dried and wet leaves as well as placing the Glaring staff besides him so he could start the smoking plan.
These past few days has been enough fo Brad to practice how to make a spark and he had some great success so far. He felt the wind blow so he hid behind a tree so his embers won't die quickly. He started rubbing the stick on the fine shavings he had made with his knife.
Soon smoke could be seen and Brad immediately put the ember on a small pile of dried leaves. He huffed and puffed as he knew once the smoke spreads the birds would be alerted of his presence. He blowed wind until the fire started to get larger, he then pulled a dry stick and some vines.
He tied some wet and dry leaves together with a small part of the Hypnoshroom along with the Male Ability Enhancer Tree herb or MEAT for short. He made a torch with the sticks and vines in seconds and lit it up with the small fire besides him. He took a deep breath before the torch is lit.
And as soon as it was Brad ran to where the large tree was and threw the torch in front of the burrow before darting away then climed the tree in a matter of seconds. Him sudden movements made some noises which made the ones inside the burrow alert but Brad had already climbed up to twenty meters in thirty seconds.
He watched as the smoke of the torch started to flow inside the burrow, then a sound which he couldn't associate with birds sounded out.
*OiNK!!!
Brad's eyes flew wide open as he saw Boars started to pour out of the Burrow, it was then he realized the Birds were the ones eaten. And these boars brought the bodies back in their burrow, Brad looked at the tracks down and realized he had a forgotten to check for other tracks of animals.
It was not quite obvious cause the ground was dryand the boars feet were not so easily noticed on the rocky ground. Brad knew he had to deal with a much more difficult trouble now that a dozen Boars walked around their burrow looking for enemies. The Larger one came out and sniffed the torch curious as to what this thing is.
Seeing there was no enemies the boars relaxed and went back to the burrow but they have already taken a sniff from the torch which they thought was not any threat to them. Brad relaxed seeing the Boars gone.
"Man, this should be a lesson. I may be a former Scout Ranger but this Jungle are better than me in this forest." Brad was coming down to rethink his plans now that he had discovered the burrow then he should make a map to mark where things are. But a sound caught his attention, he listened and it was a thumping kind of sound.
Brad bent hi knee to listen to the ground and he realized what he had just done, The boars were getting busy and were getting frisky down there.
*Squeel*
*Huff* Oink!!*
*Oink!!
*Hrungoink!!
"Damn that was fast." soon silence sounded out, Brad was feeling that this might be a chance as the torch had already burned itself down and no smoke was goin to the burrow.
"So this plan is a success?" Curiousisty got the best of him as he walked carefully down the burrow where he could hear snoring sounds.
"Okay, It's now or never." Brad braved himself as he trudged forward.
