back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 13

After eating and drinking enough, Zhang Tian walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky as usual.

Perhaps yesterday's prayers were fulfilled, and the clansmen continued to pray to the sky tonight. Apart from praying for a good harvest, they also hoped that Zhang Tian's trap would successfully kill the brown bear.

The encounter during the day taught Zhang Tian a lesson. Although the body of the primitive man is strong, it is far from that of a large beast. Even if it is as brave as a tiger's head, it is still powerless to resist a brown bear.

Now that the climate has changed drastically, food has decreased, and most of the beasts in the mountains are so hungry that their eyes are black. They might have been afraid of the strange-looking two-legged beasts before, but now they will rush at them desperately.

Zhang Tian spent 5 Faith Points to exchange for his commonly used folding knife. The only knives that can be exchanged are carving knives, scissors, and kitchen knives, and his Faith Points have dropped to 22 points.

The folding knife is a must-have for every camping enthusiast. It is sharp, strong, durable and lightweight. He put the folding knife in the folds of the buckskin dress, which is sewn around the waist with animal hide The interlayer has the same meaning as the pocket and trouser pocket.

With weapons for self-defense, if you encounter wild animals in the future, you will be able to deal with them one or two times.

Xiao saw Zhang Tian picking around in the woods near the cave, walked over and asked, "Did you hear the sound again? What are you going to do this time?"

"Bow and arrow."

"Bow and arrow..."

Xiaoza touched this unfamiliar vocabulary. He had learned a lot of new vocabulary in the past few days. He witnessed Zhang Tian making the magical tools corresponding to these vocabulary, and he was convinced that he could hear the guidance.

The only regret is, why can't I hear the voice of the sky?Later, when he thought about it, the voice Tian heard came from his mother, so he didn't feel envious, but felt a little distressed.

A birch tree with a breast height of about ten centimeters in Zhang Tianxiang's eyes.

Birch is an ideal material for making bows. There are many high-quality birch trees in this mountain forest. The making of bows and arrows is not complicated, and it only takes a short time to practice. It is very suitable for arming the tribe. .

Cut off the tree trunk with a machete. A bow length of about 120 cm is the easiest for beginners to use. However, there is no measuring ruler at hand, so Zhang Tian marked the chest-length position according to his height, and selected this section as the bow arm .

Split the log in half. The structure of the bow is wide in the middle and gradually narrows at both ends. The diameter of the end is only about one-third of the middle. It needs to be finely cut. At this time, the folding knife can come in handy.

Seeing that he casually took out a wood-cutting knife, Xiao stared straight at him. His envy was beyond words because he was a boy at heart.

Zhang Tian saw his reaction, smiled and said: "Bows and arrows are much more powerful than this, and I will make them for you in a while."

"That's great!"

Xiao was overjoyed, he didn't know what the bow and arrow were for, but God would not lie to him, it was more powerful than a knife that cut wood like mud, how powerful it was... He couldn't imagine it, and he was looking forward to it even more.

"Go find a stronger rope."

"it is good!"

Zhang Tian cut out the bow shape, and then carved grooves on both ends.

Bow strings are ideally made of raw cowhide, but now the conditions are limited, so we can only make do with thick fiber ropes.

Owl quickly fetched the rope.

Zhang Tian tied one end of the rope into the groove, placed it on the ground, and stepped on it with his foot. The bow arm was very hard. He bent the bow arm with a lot of effort, and tied the other end of the rope.

A well-made hard bow is far more effective than a trap. As long as there is enough strength to draw the bow, the bow arm can provide huge elastic force and accurately hit the target tens of meters away.

"Ok?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the bow arm bent into a crescent shape by the tight string, with an indescribable beauty, and his intuition told him that it was almost finished.

Zhang Tian pointed to the bow arm and said, "Look, isn't the left side more curved than the right?"

"Well...it seems to be."

"So it doesn't work, I have to adjust the bow again so that the left and right sides are the same."

"What if it's different?" Xiao Xiao was curious.

"If it's different, it's easy to break when you use it."

Zhang Tian fine-tuned the arms of the bow with a file to make the arms more symmetrical.

At this time, Hutou, Huzhuo and other young and strong people also came over, seeing Zhang Tian peeling off the bark on the branches, he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Xiaoqian replied, "I'm making bows and arrows!"

"Bow and arrow..."

The word quickly spread among the crowd, and everyone talked about it. Although they didn't know what a bow and arrow was, it sounded very powerful.

"Who's going to get me three feathers?"

Living in the mountains and forests, birds are the most common prey, and immediately someone hugs a handful of colorful bird feathers.

Zhang Tian thinned one end of the branch, carved a groove at the tail, selected three white feathers, tore off half of them, exposing a section of feather tube at the head and tail, tied them to the tail of the branch with a thin thread to make the tail feathers, and finally used fire to burn the arrow Roast hard.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and he realized that the shape of the arrow was similar to the spikes in the trap, and it must also be used to hunt wild animals, but he hadn't thought about how to realize it, only knew that it must have something to do with this bow.

Everyone was even more puzzled, what can a branch thinner than a thumb do?What's the use of this crooked piece of wood?

Zhang Tian took the bow and arrow and walked out of the cave.

Everyone stepped aside and followed behind him curiously.

The forest was as dark as ink, the night wind brought the rustling sound, the vegetation swayed, and in the bushes not far away, a hare poked its head out, its nose constantly twitching, carefully observing the environment.

Zhang Tian set up an arrow and drew his bow, aiming at the outcropping hare.

Everyone saw the hare, and guessed what he wanted to do, subconsciously closed their mouths, and watched him quietly holding his bow like a full moon, with doubts and expectations in their eyes.

Reason told them that the branch could not kill the hare, and hoped that he would perform miracles again in his heart.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Tian shot without any hesitation, he just wanted to try the bow, and happened to bump into a hare with its head exposed, so he took it as a target, without any hope of actually hitting it.

However, today he is especially favored by the goddess of luck. The arrow crossed a perfect arc, and he shot his head with a single arrow!
Shouts of panic erupted from the crowd, and the men ran over to check the situation. The arrow clusters sank into the rabbit's head, and the hare died without any pain.

Xiao grabbed the rabbit's ears and picked up the hare. The people around quickly avoided, not hiding the corpse, but the arrow stuck in the rabbit's head.

This scene made them a little afraid of this slender branch, and concluded that it was not an ordinary branch, and was probably guided by the sky just like the sky. horrible.

Only Xiao was gearing up, with excitement written all over his face, he knew that it wasn't the branch that shot through the hare's head, but the bow in Zhang Tian's hand!

Amazing!
Sure enough, it is much more powerful than a knife!
