Chapter 57
The fourth generation wizard sat on the ground, rubbing the flint in his hand against the ground. The tribesmen around him hurried past, not caring about the noise he made.
As long as there was no big training, they thought the fourth generation wizard was lovable. Even his delusion of digging a cave on the hard cliff was supported by everyone.
"Zila...Zila..."
The fourth generation wizard kept moving his hands, rubbing the flint in his hand repeatedly. It was a cone-shaped object that had not yet been fully formed.
"Woo woo woo..."
The man who came was one of the totem warriors, and the largest of the three totem warriors. He had the best chance of becoming the leader, but the fourth generation wizard did not nod, so the matter was still delayed.
He came up to ask the fourth-generation witch if he needed help. After all, the fourth-generation witch was not yet an adult, and he had seen the fourth-generation witch grinding the stone for a day, so he couldn't help but be curious.
"Woo woo woo..."
The fourth-generation witch refused his help and hoped that he would stay away from him.
The totem warrior shook his head helplessly. He didn't understand why the fourth-generation witch didn't want him to be the leader, as he was the strongest among the three.
He didn't know that the fourth-generation witch was preventing his rights from being taken away. After all, with a leader, the witch's administrative power would be much smaller.
"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo woo woo woo..."
An old tribesman stepped forward, picked up the wooden stick that the fourth-generation witch had placed on the ground, and told him that the stone spear shaft was too thin and too short.
This old man was the best stone spear maker in the tribe. The fourth-generation witch had asked him how to choose trees and flint before.
The old man thought that the fourth-generation witch wanted to make a spear for his own use, so he taught him carefully. Who knew that the fourth-generation witch would actually make these useless things.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
The fourth-generation witch cursed and told him to get out of the way and not to disturb him while he was working.
The old man could only shake his head and retreat. It seemed that the world of witches was not something he could understand.
The sun gradually set, and before the last ray of light fell, the fourth-generation witch finally stopped what he was doing, and a triangular sharp flint appeared in his hand.
The tribesmen who returned from hunting and picking looked at their witch curiously. His strange talk attracted everyone's attention.
They didn't want to know what the fourth-generation witch wanted to do, but wanted to know whether the fourth-generation witch's actions had anything to do with the big training.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
Night fell, and the other two totem warriors returned carrying the body of a saber-toothed tiger.
They strode to the fourth-generation witch, threw the body of the saber-toothed tiger in front of the fourth-generation witch, and then went to eat and drink.
In order to hunt a saber-toothed tiger, they did not eat for the whole day. After hunting the tiger, they did not dare to eat it because they did not know what the fourth-generation witch wanted to do with it.
"Woo woo..."
The fourth-generation witch directly called the totem warriors who did not participate in the hunting to help. They used sharp stone knives and totem power to cut the tiger skin, remove the tiger meat, and obtain the tiger tendon.
Yes, the purpose of his saber-toothed tiger was this tiger tendon.
After getting the tiger tendon, he could not wait to pick up the bent wooden stick he had prepared long ago, and wrapped the tiger tendon around the stick little by little.
This was the method of making a weapon that the Fifth Xuan spent nearly a month telling him. This weapon was: the bow.
That's right, Diwu Xuan finally found a way to improve the power of the Fire Tribe, that is, to teach the method of making bows and arrows.
If the emergence of stone spears and stone axes greatly improved the safety of the tribe and reduced the working time, then the bow is a necessary prop for primitive tribesmen to realize universal hunting.
Shooting and killing enemies from a long distance is the only way to hunt.
Diwu Xuan, because of his work in his previous life, filmed a historical film about bows, which happened to mention some craftsmanship.
Diwu Xuan naturally couldn't pass on high-tech things such as composite bows and iron bows to the fourth-generation witch, but he did remember the production methods of the nomadic bows and arrows he saw when he checked the information.
Different from the common misconception that bows and arrows are made of cow tendons and tiger tendons, the Fifth Xuan learned from the film that the power of a bow comes more from the bow arm.
Only by making a strong and resilient bow arm can the bow have practical significance. The
bow string can be made of cowhide. The most important thing about the bow string is its hardness, and the bow is the one that exerts the force.
After wrapping the tiger tendons, the fourth-generation wizard began to string the bow. With his strength, he naturally couldn't bend the wooden stick wrapped with tiger tendons very well. This job had to be done by the totem warrior.
After tying the cowhide to the wooden stick, the fourth-generation wizard began to try his masterpiece.
He had heard about the process of the second-generation wizard's invention of the stone spear, and he hoped that he could also create better weapons for the tribe.
Because of the teachings of the Fifth Xuan, he still had certain expectations for the power of the bow and arrow, but before the results came out, everything was unknown.
After stringing the bow, the fourth-generation wizard took a deep breath, slowly bent the bow and put the arrow - he repeated this action several times before he got it right, after all, he had no experience with bows and arrows before.
The small wooden stick with flint installed was placed on the string, and he didn't shoot the arrow directly for a long time.
It's not that he didn't want to, but he was not used to such actions. Even though he already knew all the steps of archery in his communication with the Fifth Xuan, he still couldn't help being nervous.
"Buzz... snap... oops... oops... oops..."
The fourth-generation wizard held his bow and arrow, and looked at the totem warrior who was shot to the ground by him in confusion.
He quickly dropped the bow and arrow, ran to the Totem Warrior, and checked his injuries.
"Wuwu... Wuwuwu..."
The Totem Warrior howled in grievance. The bow and arrow were stuck in his thigh. The arrow shaft had broken, but the sharp arrow was still stuck in his leg.
He was full of questions. It was fine if the fourth generation witch didn't let him be the leader, but did he want to kill him?
His guess was not entirely unreasonable. Anyone would think that the fourth-generation wizard did it on purpose.
Looking at the strange looks from others, the fourth-generation wizard remembered what the fifth-generation wizard taught him: even if words cannot solve the problem, you still have to do it.
So, he quickly pulled out the sharp flint from the totem warrior's leg, picked up a straight wooden stick again and put it on it. After making an arrow, he handed it to another totem warrior and motioned him to shoot.
This totem warrior was much clumsier than him. He couldn't bend the bow and shoot the arrow for a long time. In the end, it was the fourth-generation wizard who taught him for a while before he found a way.
"Swoosh... puff... ah..."
The arrow shot out, bringing with it the sound of wind. The effect was much more powerful than that of the fourth-generation wizard.
The arrow turned into a black shadow and instantly pierced into the other thigh of the totem warrior who had been shot by the arrow before.
He looked at the Totem Warrior in surprise, not understanding why he wanted to shoot him too.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
The Totem Warrior defended himself, but no one believed him, which made him feel wronged, so he immediately used the fourth generation wizard's method and let another person try.
