"Mu, how is your injury? Can you walk now?" Meng Yuqing was a little curious.
Mu was stunned by the question, scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
"Only my palms were seriously injured, and they almost bit the bones. The rest of the wounds were minor. I have thick skin, so the flesh was not hurt."
As he said this, he changed back into beast form and showed the wounds on his body to Meng Yuqing.
"My father also applied herbs to my wounds, so they didn't get red or swollen. I also ate a lot of meat, so they healed very quickly."
Meng Yuqing walked around Mu and found that the wound had indeed scabbed over and it would probably heal in two or three days.
I was a little envious of the orcs' recovery ability. If I were injured like this, I would probably be unable to get out of bed unless I stayed in the hospital for a month.
Shaking his head to get rid of these wild thoughts, Meng Yuqing carefully looked at the animal tendons brought by Mu. They were very tough and the elasticity met the requirements.
Meng Yuqing tried to braid the animal tendons and then tied them to the grooves at both ends of the bow where the strings were hung.
After tying one end, he needed to use force to bend the bow into the appropriate arc. Perhaps because the bamboo in this world was an enhanced version of the bamboo in the modern world, this step was much more difficult than he had imagined. He had to use a lot of effort to barely bend it a little.
In the end, it was Xuan who helped and it was tied up successfully.
Holding the finished bow in his hand, Meng Yuqing tried to pull the bowstring. It was barely possible for him to pull it open, but it was quite difficult.
"Do you want to try it? Be careful with your strength, I'm afraid yours will break."
Xuan took the bow he handed over, pulled the string like him, felt the tension of the bow, thought for a while, handed the bow to Dan, and looked at Meng Yuqing.
"It's easy for me to pull this string. It doesn't require any effort."
Dan also tried to pull the string and said.
"Xuan and I feel the same way. It's quite easy for us orcs to pull this thing over."
After saying that, Dong also tried the bow and said that it was not difficult for him. When Mu took the bow to try it, Meng Yuqing wanted to stop him, after all, the injury on his palm was the most serious.
But Xuan held him down, "It's okay, pulling this thing won't affect Mu's injury."
After hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing felt relieved and once again marveled at the strength of the orcs.
Mu casually pulled the bow and handed it back to Meng Yuqing. "It's hard to use the force, but it's fine to pull it open."
After receiving their feedback, Meng Yuqing nodded and looked at Xuan, "What about the sub-beasts in the tribe?"
"It should be possible to pull it open, but it requires some force. I'm not sure how to do it." After Xuan finished answering, he asked Meng Yuqing curiously, "What is this? I still haven't figured out its purpose."
Meng Yuqing smiled mysteriously, "It's not finished yet. We still have some bamboo left. Let's make the other part now. You'll know when I use it."
Hearing him say this, Dong immediately ran over and picked up the bamboo that had not been split before.
"What should we do next?" Xuan picked up the bamboo and looked at him.
"Chop them into pieces about this thick and this long, then polish them smooth and sharpen one end." Meng Yuqing gestured with his hands to measure the size of the arrows. "You three can do that first. Mu and I will light a fire and then take care of the feathers."
The four orcs who received the order took action one after another.
Mu followed Meng Yuqing and helped him. He was also very interested in what Meng Yuqing wanted to do.
After the fire was lit, Meng Yuqing took the feather Mu had brought. "Huh? This feather is so big, and it looks a little familiar. What bird is it from?" He asked casually.
"What bird's feather is this?"
"It flew. I just pulled it off his body today." Xuan said without raising his head.
Meng Yuqing was shocked. Could he pluck flying feathers just like that? He stared at Xuan with wide eyes.
Feeling Meng Yuqing's gaze, Xuan stopped what he was doing and looked up and spoke.
"We in the tribe rarely hunt birds, so there are no feathers. Finding a flying bird is the fastest. Mainly, it doesn't shed feathers much, otherwise we wouldn't pluck it." Xuan said seriously, as if it was the most normal thing.
"Is it still possible to do this?"
"Of course, the other flying orc went out hunting today. We didn't find him, otherwise we could ask him for it."
Xuan lowered his head and continued his hand movements while saying, "Is this enough? If not, we'll go find Feiba later. Tomorrow, the two of them who can fly will set off for the Shuilin and Shijiao tribes."
Looking at the pile of feathers that Mu brought, Meng Yuqing said decisively, "That's enough, there's no need to pluck his feathers. Next time you hunt, just bring back one of the birds and beasts you see, and it will last you a long time."
It’s better not to harm the orcs in the tribe. After all, the demand for arrows is quite high. It would be bad if they pluck out too many hairs and blame you for it.
After figuring out the origin of the feathers, they stopped chatting and worked very efficiently. In no time, they had made the bamboos into the prototypes of arrows as required.
Meng Yuqing took the arrow and put the pointed end into the fire to carbonize it. Then he used resin to stick the feathers to the tail of the arrow and carved a groove for the string on the tail of the arrow.
The other four people also followed his example to process the other arrows, and soon ten arrows were made.
Meng Yuqing excitedly put the arrow on the bow, "Quick, quick, let me show you how to use a bow and arrow."
The four of them retreated silently. Xuan looked at the finished bow and arrow and was slightly surprised.
When the first arrow was completed, he had already roughly guessed how to use it, and Meng Yuqing's current actions just confirmed his guess.
