Xuan watched him do all this in surprise, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"I'll leave it all to you. The people in the planting tribe you mentioned don't understand. If I give it to them, they might ruin it. When my father-in-law is healed, I'll have him bring people over to help you. I'll have them all obey your orders."
Xuan made a decision quickly. If what Yuqing said was true, it would definitely be a very beneficial thing for the tribe.
Giving Yuqing full authority to handle this matter will be very helpful for him to improve his status and establish prestige in the tribe. Yuqing has many secrets, and he certainly cannot hide them from everyone. It is better to let him stand at a higher position and let him handle other things.
Meng Yuqing was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xuan to say that. He looked at Xuan steadily, and Xuan looked at him with a calm look.
He suddenly understood what Xuan meant.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
After talking about potatoes and sweet potatoes, Meng Yuqing pulled Xuan to see the herbs he planted and said with some concern.
"I'm also trying to grow herbs. After all, relying solely on collecting them from the wild isn't a long-term solution. But I don't have any ideas yet. I'll give it a try and let you know if I make any progress."
Xuan placed his hand gently on his shoulder, comforting him.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's good now. You've made the tribe better."
Meng Yuqing smiled faintly and did not continue the topic.
"I want to go to the bamboo forest this afternoon. I have an idea that I want to make."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
At noon, Meng Yuqing and Xuan returned to Qiuye's house and made some simple food to take care of Qiuye and Lie. After they finished eating, Xuan came to the open space at the door and turned into a big black panther in front of Meng Yuqing.
After lying down and letting Meng Yuqing climb onto his back and sit firmly, he ran towards the bamboo forest in the patrol area.
"arrive."
Meng Yuqing slid off Xuan's back and wandered through the bamboo forest looking for a tree that met the requirements.
He quickly picked out two trees, shook them vigorously, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Xuan, let's take these two. I want to take them back to make something."
The two bamboos were quickly cut down by Xuan.
Meng Yuqing looked at the two bamboos in front of him. Before this, he only thought that he would need close protection if he encountered a wild beast, so he only made a knife.
However, after this attack, he realized that a knife alone was not enough.
Even though they encountered so many attackers, there were only a few orcs who could fight. The sub-beasts could only be surrounded in a protective circle. More than 30 sub-beasts could not help at all.
If there were long-range attack weapons, we would definitely not be so passive this time. The orcs would protect and resist the attacks in the outer circle, and the sub-beasts could harass remotely inside.
The first thing he thought of when he had this idea was the bow and crossbow.
However, he didn't know how to make a crossbow, so he was afraid that he could only use energy to exchange for the blueprint. But now his energy was running out, so he probably wouldn't be able to make it before departure.
He could give the bow a try. He had seen a video of someone making a simple bow with bamboo before and thought it was very interesting. He also searched for related information.
And there happened to be reinforced bamboo here, so he could try making it. He remembered that the bowstring in the video was made of a kind of tree bark, but it should not be difficult to find animal tendons suitable for making strings here.
The hunting team brings back a lot of wild animals every day, and he can ask Xuan to look for them.
If the bow is successfully made, the tribe's defense capabilities will be greatly improved, and the sub-beasts' self-protection and attack capabilities will also be greatly improved.
They dragged the bamboo back to the tribe. Along the way, many people looked at them curiously, and Dan and Dong even ran over.
"Xuan, Meng Yuqing, why did you bring back two such large knot trees?"
"Meng Yuqing, are you planning to make something new? That thing you asked Xuan to make before... um... doors and windows. My father-in-law loves it, but I'm embarrassed to ask you."
"Yes, I'm going to make something." He remembered these two young boys, the two young orcs who came out with Mu and Lie to greet Xuan before, a big lion and a leopard.
They are one year younger than Mu Helie and are still learning practical combat from adult orcs.
"Can we go and take a look?" asked Dan, the big lion, curiously.
Dong also looked at Meng Yuqing with anticipation.
To be honest, the orcs in this world are all good-looking, especially the two underage orcs opposite him, who are seven years younger than Meng Yuqing. When they look at him with their innocent big eyes full of expectation, it is really hard to refuse.
"Okay, but you can't just watch it for free. You have to help me."
"Okay!" They both responded happily and started to help Xuan drag the bamboo.
Xuan looked at them helplessly and let them go.
Back in the open space in front of Meng Yuqing's house, the three orcs stood in front of him waiting for his instructions.
After carefully recalling the process of making the bamboo bow in his mind, he slowly spoke.
"First, cut the bamboo into sections according to the lengths I marked, and then split the middle sections in half."
The three orcs who received the order immediately started to act. Xuan dealt with one tree alone, while Dan and Dong dealt with one together.
They handled it very quickly, completing it as required in less than an hour, which made Meng Yuqing sigh at the orcs' extraordinary talent. If he had done it himself, it would probably take him an entire afternoon.
He carefully selected the split bamboo and finally picked out the six most suitable parts.
"We're going to polish these next. Don't worry, this is a slow process. Just follow my instructions."
. . . . . .
Under Meng Yuqing's guidance, the three orcs began to fight with the bamboo pieces in their hands.
It was not until dark that they got three bows that barely met the requirements.
"It's barely okay. We have to continue tomorrow. There are still a few places that need to be fixed." Meng Yuqing looked at the three bows carefully. They already had a rough shape. After a little polishing tomorrow, it should be almost done.
"Okay, then we'll come again tomorrow." Dan and Dong said happily.
After having a simple barbecue for dinner and seeing Dan and Dong off, Meng Yuqing turned and looked at Xuan.
"There are some things I might need you to find."
"What is it?" Xuan sat on the ground, holding a bow in his hand and looking at Meng Yuqing.
He was also very interested in the thing in his hand. His intuition told him that Meng Yuqing was making something very powerful, which made him very excited, and his eyes immediately turned into animal pupils.
"Beast tendons, especially those with good toughness."
"Resilience?" This was another thing he didn't understand, and Xuan's eyes showed confusion.
"Well... it's the kind of animal tendon that's the hardest to break, at least the kind that even a sub-beast can't break even if they use all their strength." Meng Yuqing tried to explain to Xuan in simple and easy-to-understand words.
"Many sub-beast tendons can't be pulled apart." Xuan scratched his head, not quite understanding. "If you want this kind of animal tendon, there are plenty in the tribe."
