The next morning, at 4:30 in the morning, the two woke up on time.
After stewing the smoked fish with Da's vegetation, Su Bai went straight to the bamboo shed and took out the ox horn bow that had been left for many days.
The originally sparse barrage quickly became dense as Su Bai took out his horned bow.
[Brothers, the second bow to survive in the wilderness is also Su Bai’s...]
【A still a hard bow with a horn…】
[Once this thing is used together, the old bear in the west will no longer be a crisis that cannot be dealt with.]
[That bear really dared to come to find the bad luck of Su Bai's camp, and he would probably be shot to death on the spot...]
【Exciting moments are right in front of you!】
【So nervous! What if the bow is not done well and is broken?】
Su Bai looked at the barrage, laughed, and said with confidence:
"It shouldn't be bad."
"Just see how good it is."
As he said that, Su Bai used a bamboo blade to cut the thick straw rope tied to the bow arm of the cow horns little by little.
These straw ropes play a fixed role when the fish bladder glue has not solidified.
Now that the fish maw glue has solidified, these straw ropes are useless.
Bound the fishing line at both ends of the bow arm, and this horn bow completes all the processes.
The snakeskin in the middle is soft and soft, and the touch is delicate and provides two points of resistance, so that the bow will not slip in the hand.
The whole handful of horns is very thick and full when held, and the weight is not light.
Su Bai tried to pull the fishing line and bowstring, which felt a little difficult.
He was overjoyed and nodded:
"Not bad, at least the pulling force is really big!"
"However, it is normal for a large pulling force. As long as there is no error in the material selection, it will be like this."
“Then it depends on the accuracy.”
"In terms of accuracy, skills need to be tested."
"I guess the accuracy is average. After all, the tools are a bit simple. Although it takes a lot of time and effort to do it, it is still difficult to achieve the accuracy of modern craftsmanship."
"It will have some effect on the flight trajectory of the arrow."
Su Bai said, drawing out a fish scale arrow, bent his bow and aimed at the open space in the distance, and pulled the bow as if it was full.
As Su Bai let go of his hand, the bowstring trembled, and the fish scale arrow turned into a afterimage and shot out.
"Swoosh!!!" A shrill sound exploded from the tip of the fish scale arrow!
This voice was really beyond everyone's expectations. Zhao Xinqing was so scared that she screamed and subconsciously withdrew half a step.
Barrage:
【???
【Damn, is this a legendary arrow?】
【The sound is too loud, right?
【Why is there no such loud sound when shooting with a simple bamboo bow?】
Su Bai watched the fish scale arrow shoot out fifty meters. After fifty meters, the arrow body quickly became crooked, and it shook irregularly in the air for a few times, losing all its strength, and falling to the ground depressedly.
Su Bai frowned slightly and whispered:
“It’s pretty bad.”
"It can only achieve accurate killing within thirty steps."
"Thirty steps away, the correct head will be biased."
"After fifty steps, all lethality is lost."
Barrage:
【…】
【It's a little worse than expected.】
【But it's very good too.】
【At least it is much better than the simple bamboo bow.】
[Listen to the sound of the arrow just now, the lethality within thirty steps must be very strong!]
Su Bai frowned and shook his head and said:
"The arrow only has a special structure to make a special sound."
"Arrows that pursue lethality should not make too loud noises."
Su Bai said, then pulled out another fish scale arrow and shot it out again.
Another violent arrow sounded, and he still lost his correct head when he walked out fifty steps and fell to the ground.
"This means that the friction between the arrow and the air is too outrageous, and it will affect the arrow's correctness and lethality."
Su Bai picked up two fish scale arrows, looked at the arrow of the fish scale arrow, and after a while, he thought:
"There is a cross-section at the connection between the bamboo pole and the arrow."
“Although not obvious.”
"But it does produce considerable friction when flying quickly."
"This affects the flight ability of the entire arrow."
"Try changing to Wolf Tooth Arrow."
"The arrow of the wolf-tooth arrow is smoother than the arrow of the fish-scale arrow, and it should not have such strong friction."
Su Bai said, drawing out a wolf-toothed arrow and bent his bow and arrow into the gap in the distance again.
The wolf tooth arrow flew out from the string, and it was indeed more than a little less sound and no longer so sharp.
The effective range reached fifty steps, the flight trajectory outside the fifty steps began to show a decline, and landed at seventy steps.
Barrage:
【Awesome!】
【This is already a relatively ideal range and accuracy!】
【Wolf Tooth Arrow is already very good!】
【Enough to hunt large prey!】
Su Bai picked up the wolf-tooth arrow and sighed:
"Make it."
"I didn't expect that the arrow would in turn drag down the performance of the ox horn bow."
"This bow has great potential. If there are suitable arrows, the range and accuracy will be greatly improved."
"But under the current conditions, we can only use this first."
"The good news is that although the range of range improvement is limited, the range of lethality improvement is much higher than the range."
"If the previous simple bamboo bow encounters an opponent like a large brown bear, the distance must be pulled to an extremely dangerous level to break through the thick fur and cause small wounds."
"But this horn bow..."
Su Bai weighed it and said confidently:
"If you use the wolf tooth arrow, it will be enough to cause fatal damage to the brown bear at a relatively safe distance."
As he said that, Su Bai pulled out a fish scale arrow, drew his bow and shot an arrow at a big tree next to him.
With a sharp and harsh arrow, the fish-scale arrow pierced deeply into the tree trunk with a "sharp" sound, shooting into a depth of nearly five centimeters.
When Su Bai pulled out the arrow, he found that the shaft had broken and the fish scale arrow was shattered into the wounds of the tree trunk.
"Look, this power..."
"One arrow can only hit the target once..."
"Even wood can be shot into five centimeters. If it hits the animal's body, it will definitely cause serious injuries."
In the barrage, he looked at the broken arrows in Su Bai's hand and exclaimed:
[Are you afraid of the old bear in the west?]
【This two-legged beast hasn't seen you yet, but it has already begun to plan to kill you and eat bear's paw.】
[Su Bai: Low-key, forbearing, killing!]
Su Bai handed the simple bamboo bow he had made before to Zhao Xinqing and said:
"You can use this in the future."
Zhao Xinqing nodded, took the simple bamboo bow, and hesitated:
"But……"
"I don't know..."
Su Bai said:
"The use of bows and arrows is a very skillful thing."
"It takes a long time to practice to develop effective lethality."
"From the future, we can get up every morning and wait until breakfast is cooked, we can practice archery for a while."
After the coyote attack on the camp at night, Zhao Xinqing once had a passion for exercise and was determined not to be a burden to Su Bai.
But these days are generally high-intensity labor, and exercise has no positive meaning except for exhausting energy.
When she was resting, she fell completely lazy, and Su Bai, who had established a relationship, was still very attached, so she had never found a chance to exercise.
But the exercise of bows and arrows is another matter.
The loss of strength is not large, but more of a skill training.
Zhao Xinqing's eyes lit up and she smiled:
"It makes sense!"
"Just start today!"
Su Bai walked behind Zhao Xinqing and gently held Zhao Xinqing's hands.
In an intimate and ambiguous posture, he helped Zhao Xinqing pose as he posed for a bow and arrow...
