In less than a day, Huang Jingyu and Ye Zi became brothers. However, for a period of time afterward, the two lived under the same roof and had to turn their backs on each other when it came to food.

Moreover, Ye Zi is originally from the north, and his current physique is that of a bold and unyielding man raised on the grasslands. In addition, Huang Jingyu's personality is easygoing and unpretentious.

We might not be birds of a feather, but our personalities definitely mesh.

After dark, Ye Zi selected a tree trunk that was a little over a meter long and split it open by the firelight. This trunk had been prepared beforehand to be used as an arrow shaft.

There are now sixteen polished wolf teeth, ten polished wolf leg bone fragments, and the thread to secure the arrowheads.

While I can't sleep, I'll finish the arrowheads and shafts first, and then I can complete the rest once I have the feathers.

Back at the shelter, Yellow Whale turned on the solar-powered lamp he had brought, and the two of them, each with a knife, began to carve arrow shafts.

This is also a big job; it's not tiring, but it requires a lot of care to complete.

Two hours later, the twenty-six arrow shafts were basically completed, and the rest needed to be done in daylight.

They each returned to their own shelters to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Ye Zi was woken up by the system. After getting up, she roasted the last two wolf legs, and that was her breakfast.

Yellow whales also have their own biological clock, and this was their first time spending the night in the wild, so they didn't sleep very well.

Hearing noises outside, I decided to stay awake and get up to prepare for the day's work.

"How was your rest?" Ye Zi asked teasingly.

"It's alright, it just takes some time to get used to."

Ye Zi picked up a branch with one end smashed by an axe, dipped it in some charcoal powder, handed it over, and said:

"Gravity toothbrush and additive-free toothpaste, give it a try."

The yellow whale was prepared and took the toothbrush, saying:

"With toothpaste and a toothbrush, what more could I ask for?" After saying that, he took a sip of water, squatted down, and started brushing his teeth.

After washing up, the two sat by the fire, waiting for breakfast while continuing to whittle arrow shafts.

"What's the plan for today?" Yellow Whale asked.

"Today's plan is to change things up; wild rabbit or pheasant, anything is fine."

After finishing their meal, the two set off with their gear. Ye Zi still carried the same four items as always: an axe, a pickaxe, a machete, and a small knife that she never parted with.

The yellow whale carried a bow and arrows and a saber.

The prey within the system's detection range was already displayed in Ye Zi's mind. After walking for a while, Ye Zi stopped and pointed in a direction towards the yellow whale.

The latter understood and, after preparing himself, followed the direction the leaf pointed.

Buzz...

The sound of the bowstring vibrating rang out, and the yellow whale quickly drew a second arrow, nocked it, drew the bow, and released it.

The sound of the bowstring vibrating rang out once again, and then the yellow whale rushed forward quickly.

Ye Zi already knew the result from the exploration map provided by the system.

The first arrow struck a hare, a perfect shot; the second arrow missed its target.

When Ye Zi followed, the yellow whale was retrieving its arrows, and said helplessly while carrying the rabbit:

"I think I was pretty fast, but the second arrow didn't even hit a rabbit hair."

Ye Zi casually said:

"You're holding the arrow wrong, and it's already quite good that you managed to kill a living creature on your first try."

"That's true, but there's a big difference between hunting and target shooting. Even moving targets aren't this difficult."

By the way, do you know how to use a bow and arrow?

Ye Zi nodded. This was muscle memory left over from her predecessor; hitting a rabbit within fifty meters was no problem at all.

He's also quite adept at close-range rapid fire, and according to his estimation, he should be faster than the Yellow Whale. The main difference is the method of taking the arrows.

The yellow whale casually handed the bow and arrows in its hand to Leaf, and then said:

"Come on, show us."

Ye Zi glanced at the bow and arrow that the yellow whale handed her. The bow was a hunting bow, and the arrows were ordinary arrows, but they were made with modern technology and the arrowheads were modern small round heads.

I casually took the bow, pulled it back briefly to test the tension and prevent it from breaking later. Then I placed an arrow between each of the three fingers between my right index and little fingers, with the fletching slightly forward. Finally, I attached one arrow to the bowstring.

He pretended to listen to the noise, then walked away.

The yellow whale, carrying its newly acquired prey, quickly followed.

After walking about two hundred meters, Ye Zi raised her hand and drew her bow.

The bowstring vibrated three times in a row, followed by three miserable cries of pheasants.

Ye Zi had already nocked the fourth arrow.

The yellow whale took two steps forward. Twenty meters away, two pheasants were nailed to the ground, and another was nailed to a tree.

I glanced at the leaves in surprise. Three arrows, three prey. The pheasant wasn't as fast as the rabbit, but it wasn't slow either.

Shooting three pheasants so quickly isn't particularly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either.

However, thinking about Ye Zi's background, he felt relieved. Horse riding and archery were things ingrained in his bones, basically a matter of genes.

Leaf returned the bow and arrows to the yellow whale, then retrieved the arrows and prey.

The two on the ground are fine; you can just pull them out. But you need to be careful with the one in the tree. The arrowhead is stuck in the trunk, and pulling it out forcefully might damage the arrowhead.

Take out the axe and chop the tree trunk above and below the arrowhead. A piece of the trunk will be removed. Check the arrowhead. If there are no problems, just pull it out.

If the arrowhead is damaged, then only the shaft can be kept.

Fortunately, the arrow is fine and can still be used, but the leaves can't be used. If it hits the trunk again, it'll probably be ruined.

Three pheasants and a rabbit were enough for the two of them for a day. Ye Zi didn't plan to go any further. There were still prey nearby, which she could hunt for breakfast the next day.

They changed direction and took a detour back to the camp, partly to explore the surrounding area and partly to hunt.

In the previous ten days, the furthest Ye Zi had gone was the place where she hunted wolves. The rest of the time she was building houses and didn't have time to come out and explore the surrounding area.

Given enough time and materials, the last shelter can be built in just a few days, before the last teammate arrives to join them.

You can explore your surroundings.

On the way back, although they took a detour, they still had a good harvest, with the two of them adding another pheasant and a rabbit to their loot.

Although they didn't get much, these things were enough for their needs for the day.

Back at the camp, Yezi skinned the two rabbits and began processing them: scraping off the oil, sprinkling ash, washing, and finally hanging them on the fireplace in the shelter.

They returned to the campfire to continue processing the pheasants, while the yellow whale took charge of cooking.

Even the plucked chicken feathers can't be thrown away, as they're all materials for making arrow fletching. The internal organs can't be thrown away either; chicken gizzards and hearts are also delicacies, though there are no seasonings available now, but they're definitely enough to fill your stomach.

The remaining inedible items were left 20 meters away from the camp as bait, in case any carnivores came.
