This weapon is an arrow…

Last night, after careful consideration, Ye Feng realized that to kill enough wild boars, he had no choice but to use a bow and arrow…

However, Ye Feng only had three arrows, which wouldn't be enough if he encountered other dangers in the future...

And most importantly... while a compound bow is powerful, what if he accidentally misses...?

If the bullet hits the wild boar's thigh, shoulder, or subcutaneous tissue...

That wouldn't be considered a fatal injury, and we certainly shouldn't let them die quickly.

Then the wild boar will definitely run away with the arrows... and then it will be a loss.

Ye Feng didn't want to pay such a price, and he didn't want to let any wild boar escape.

Therefore, he had to make more arrows in case of emergency.

However, the materials used to make these arrows are extremely particular. First, they must be perfectly straight and made of relatively heavy wood.

Otherwise, when it is fired, the deviation arc will become larger, making it difficult to hit the target, and the range will be greatly reduced.

And only deciduous trees meet these conditions…

Ye Feng was going to find birch and cypress trees, both of which belong to the deciduous tree family, because only these two types of trees are relatively easy to find in their growing environment.

Ye Feng traversed through forests, valleys, ponds, dense woods, and thickets...

To prevent himself from getting lost later, whenever he arrived in an unfamiliar place, he would carve a clear arrow mark on a tree...

After walking for about an hour, Ye Feng finally arrived at a dense forest where the sunlight was plentiful…

This is also a vast, dense forest, and it seems no different from other places.

But Ye Feng stopped in his tracks. He knew that he had most likely found the place…

He glanced at the slivers of sunlight filtering through the leaves, then crouched down, picked up a small clump of soil, and gently kneaded it…

After a moment, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he murmured:

"I've finally found it..."

Both birch and cypress trees prefer to grow in places with strong sunlight and fertile soil...

The soil that Ye Feng picked up was black and granular, moist and full.

Generally speaking, encountering this type of soil in the wild indicates that the soil is fertile and there must be abundant plant resources...

Sure enough, after searching for a few minutes, Ye Feng finally spotted a few birch trees on a small hillside covered with moss and scattered rocks…

He tested the surroundings by throwing stones, and after finding no poisonous insects, he eagerly began to climb upwards…

But he underestimated how slippery the mossy stones were, and just as he was about to reach the top of the mountain, his foot suddenly slipped…

His body instantly lost its balance and tumbled down, finally landing on his bottom at the edge of a small pond...

"Ouch…"

Ye Feng rubbed his buttocks, then quickly checked the injury on his right leg…

He felt a pain in his right ankle when he rolled down.

When I rolled up my trouser leg, I discovered a wound on my ankle, which I guessed was from being scraped by a stone…

But before he could treat his wound, another accident occurred…

A few clear croaks of frogs suddenly rang out around him…

Ye Feng quickly turned to look and saw a small pond, about one square meter in size, with a babbling brook flowing over it.

The water seemed to flow down from the mountain, and on the moss-covered stones beside the small pond, seven or eight small yellow and black frogs were croaking at him…

It was as if it was warning Ye Feng not to come closer...

Because these things were so small, Ye Feng couldn't resist his curiosity and bent down to take a closer look...

Just a second later, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he hurriedly covered the wound on his ankle, awkwardly hopping backward on one foot...

After jumping a few meters away, he sat down on the ground again with a thud... looking as if he had seen a ghost.

That's absolutely correct, because the creature he encountered was the most poisonous animal in the Amazon, bar none...

The golden poison dart frog, which even ranks among the top five most poisonous creatures in the world…

Don't be fooled by the fact that these little creatures are less than the length of a finger and seem harmless.

However, they only need to release 0.3 milligrams of neurotoxin to cause an adult to convulse and die within 3 minutes.

The golden poison dart frog in front of us is the most poisonous species in the poison dart frog family.

One gram of their toxin can kill 300,000 mice and a thousand elephants…

It can secrete and eject venom through its tongue and back...

Once poisoned, there is no cure, and death is inevitable. Therefore, if you encounter them in the wild, it is best to stay away immediately…

Ye Feng swallowed hard in fear and retreated several meters again.

These little creatures are like living devils; if they touch his wounds, they're enough to kill him a hundred times over.

He quickly took out Yunnan Baiyao and sprayed it on the wound, then quickly wrapped the wound with gauze, and finally left the area, choosing to climb the mountain from another location.

Still shaken, Ye Feng calmed himself down, and this time, he walked with particularly steady steps…

It took less than ten minutes to climb to the top of the hill...

Upon closer inspection of the birch tree, he found that the reality was almost exactly as he had imagined…

The branches are indeed straight and thick; no wonder the ancients used this tree to make arrows…

Ye Feng brandished his Nepalese kukri; he didn't want to stay in this place any longer…

After careful selection, he removed all the excess branches from the collected suitable branches, leaving only branches about the thickness of a middle finger.

The process went even more smoothly than expected…

Forty minutes later, the work was finished. He wiped his sweat, counted, and there were fifty-five in total…

Ye Feng immediately tied it tightly with hemp rope, just enough to fit it into his backpack.

Satisfied, he slung his bag over his shoulder and headed to the next location…

Next, he was going to hunt a bird of prey, the king of the Amazon skies, the Harpy Eagle, scientifically known as the "Horned Eagle".

It wasn't because he was craving bird meat, but because the bird's feathers were of great use to him.

Now, the wood for making arrows has been collected, but a proper arrow must have a fin to maintain balance...

Otherwise, the arrow will quickly deviate from its target, making accurate shooting extremely difficult...

The feathers of the harpy eagle can greatly correct the flight posture of the arrow, increase the drag at the tail, and make the arrow as straight as possible.

To put it simply, it means being able to shoot more accurately...

On his way here, Ye Feng heard many cries from harpy eagles…

This season is precisely the time when they raise their offspring…

At this time, they hunt almost every day in order to provide food for their offspring.

Their diet is very diverse, including sloths, raccoons, snakes... basically anything that isn't a large predator is on their menu...
