Chapter 185 Snake Scale Armor

Wang Lang walked down the high platform and came to the pole where the snake skin was dried. The last time the Titan Python was hunted, there were eight skins nearly two meters long and one meter wide.

These snake skins have been completely dried, and the blood stains on them have been cleaned. Under the sunlight, the shiny black scales look faintly metallic like luster.

He didn't plan to do any special treatment on the snake skin, it could be cut directly into armor, and with the strength of the scales, there was absolutely no problem in blocking the blow of the stone axe.

Taking off a piece of snake skin and taking it to a cool place, Wang Lang was going to try to make one according to the simplest pattern.

There are no scissors in the tribe, so it is not easy to cut the snake skin.

After measuring the size of the snake skin, carefully remove the scales at the place to be trimmed with a dagger, and then use the dagger to cut the snake skin into a square one meter wide.

Separate the square snake skin from the middle to make a simple armor that can protect the front and back. After finishing this, use a dagger to draw a few symmetrical holes on the two skins, tie them with rope, and it looks ready. Almost like short sleeves.

It took Wang Lang nearly two hours to do this. Looking at the black armor in front of him, Wang Lang was very satisfied with his tailoring work. If he put on this pure natural armor, he would definitely be the most attractive in this tribe. attention-grabbing presence.

After the most important part of the armor was completed, Wang Lang made the remaining snakeskin into two shoulder guards, so that it could be regarded as a relatively complete armor.

Bark, who was supervising everyone's work, saw that Wang Lang was busy tinkering there for a long time. Driven by curiosity, he walked down from the newly built fence.

Seeing the strange-looking thing in Wang Lang's hand, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why did the snake skin become like this?"

Wang Lang looked up at the man, and said with a smile, "Bark! You came just in time. Try this snakeskin armor."

"Snake skin armor?" Bark looked at Wang Lang blankly.

Wang Lang saw that he stood there in a daze, and said, "What are you doing in a daze? It took me a lot of effort to make this, so hurry up and try."

"What is the use of this thing, and how to try it." Bark scratched his head and asked.

"Just put this thing on your body." Wang Lang said.

Bark took the armor, looked at it carefully, and put the snakeskin armor over the head according to the method Wang Lang said.

Looking at the bark of the pitch-black armor, Wang Lang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, the size is just right, let's take a few steps."

The tree bark touched the smooth scales on the armor, feeling extremely awkward, and the hard air-dried snakeskin was uncomfortable to wear on the body.

Walked a few steps according to Wang Lang's request, and asked: "This thing is too uncomfortable to wear on the body, and it's too hot, I'm sweating after a while."

"This is a good thing. With this thing, it will save your life during a war. Look at the scales. A stone ax can't break them at all." Wang Lang said excitedly.

Bark looked down at the armor on his body again, and said in disbelief, "Can such a snakeskin block the stone axe?"

"If you still don't believe it, take it off and I'll show you how hard it is." Wang Lang said with some dissatisfaction.

After the bark took off the armor, Wang Lang said, "Go get a bamboo bow and come to me at the arrow target."

Bark went to get the bamboo bow with a face full of disbelief, while Wang Lang held the armor and came to the archery target that the archer trained to take.

After tying this armor to the archery target, the archers who were in charge of guarding around were immediately attracted and left their posts to surround them.

As the chief of the bow and arrow battalion, Lin Huo's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Lang bring a strange-looking thing to the shooting range. He guessed that something good must have been made, so he ran to the shooting range quickly.

When he cleared the contents of the archery target, Lin Huo couldn't help but wondered: "Lang, isn't this a snakeskin? What are you doing hanging him here? You can use a straw target for the archery target! Isn't it a waste to use snakeskin?" .”

Wang Lang smiled and said: "This is not for making an archery target, this is the armor I told you before."

"Is that the kind of armor that can block stone axes?" Lin Huo asked.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "That's right, how about it, this snakeskin armor looks pretty good!"

Lin Huo looked at the snakeskin armor carefully, shook his head, and said, "This thing is too ugly, and can it really be useful?"

Hearing Lin Huo's evaluation, Wang Lang almost fainted. It took him a long time to make something, but these people with no idea thought it ugly. In this case, after a while, this thing is not your share."

Lin Huo looked suspiciously at Wang Lang, then at the snakeskin armor, but he still didn't see anything special about this ugly thing. Of course, apart from being ugly, he was noncommittal to Wang Lang's threatening words.

After a while, Bark came to the shooting range with a bamboo bow.

After handing the bow and arrow to Wang Lang, he stood with Lin Huo and looked at Wang Lang suspiciously.

Wang Lang took the bamboo bow, and his heart was full of contempt for these short-sighted people. No one knew how to appreciate such a good thing, and he suddenly felt that these people were hopeless.

Come to a place [-] steps away from the archery target. For a bamboo bow, the power of shooting arrows at this distance is about the same as that of a stone axe. In order not to damage the armor as much as possible, it is most suitable to use bows and arrows for testing. choose.

Pull the bamboo bow into a full moon shape, aim at the target in front of you, whoosh!An arrow shot out.

"Dang!", after a clear sound like a metal impact, the arrow was easily bounced aside.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened immediately, and Bark immediately ran over to check the condition of the snakeskin armor.

At the place where he was shot, there were only shallow cracks on the scales. Only after seeing these did he believe what Wang Lang meant by saving his life on the battlefield.

Seeing the seriousness of this armor, it suddenly became hot. Seeing that Lin Huo was also rushing over, he hurriedly took off the armor and hugged it in his arms.

Seeing the appearance of the bark, Lin Huo immediately caught fire, "What are you doing with this armor!"

Bark ignored the angry forest fire at all, and ran away holding the armor.

Lin Huo was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Wang Lang. He looked at Lin Huo with a half-smile, and said, "Didn't you just say that this thing is ugly?"

Lin Huo suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, wishing to slap himself in the mouth, but after knowing the benefits of this thing, he cheekily said to Wang Lang: "I don't know the use of this thing, Lang, give me the remaining snake skin Keep one, how about it."

Wang Lang said: "If you want this snakeskin armor, you can make it yourself. You have seen what this thing looks like. The snakeskin is there."
