Chapter 177 Rattan Shield 2



Compared with a shield made of pure wood boards, a shield woven from rattan is much lighter.

With Han Cheng's current strength, he can hold the handle behind the wooden shield and lift it up horizontally.

Of course, you should do it with your arms curled up, not with them fully extended.

The rattan shield was too tall for Han Cheng. When he raised the wooden handle to the level of his chest, he could only see the people vaguely through the gap in the upper part of the rattan shield.

Han Cheng handed the rattan shield to Bo and asked him to place it against the side wall of the house.

Then he led everyone to retreat to a distance of about fifteen meters from the rattan shield, and had someone bring some stones similar to those used in hunting. In front of everyone's puzzled eyes, he told the eldest brother to pick up the stones and smash them hard at the rattan shield leaning against the wall, just like when hunting, without holding back at all.

Everyone, including the eldest brother, seemed confused by this. They did not understand what the Son of God's intention was.

Why throw stones at a good raft? Wouldn't it break the raft?

The eldest brother held a fist-sized stone in his hand and looked at Han Cheng. After confirming the order from Han Cheng again, he no longer hesitated.

He took a small step forward with his left leg, raised his right arm, and then lowered it cleanly. The stone in his hand flew out, followed by a sound.

The rattan shield against the wall vibrated, and the stone that hit it hard bounced high, flew more than two meters to the side and front before landing, and rolled another three or four meters without losing momentum before gradually stopping.

Han Cheng rushed over to see Teng Dun.

When the eldest brother saw the Son of God anxiously checking Teng Dun's "injury", he was even more confused. He reached out and touched the messy head, and went over to watch with everyone else.

There were small white marks on the vine shield and on several vines that were touching the stone. The skin there was broken off by the stone that the eldest brother had just thrown. Two vines were seriously injured, and some wood fibers were lifted up at the wounds.

But it was only on the surface and had no effect on the vine shield.

Han Cheng nodded with satisfaction, then leaned the slightly crooked rattan shield against the wall and led everyone back to where they were standing before.

This time, the eldest brother was not asked to take action, but the second brother, who was the best at throwing in the tribe, took action.

The second brother’s attack was much more powerful than that of the eldest brother. When a stone was thrown at him, the rattan shield bounced up from the ground and fell to the ground.

The stone was also catapulted into the air and flew three or four meters before landing, rolling straight to the crowd.

Han Cheng was a little worried that the newly made rattan shield would not be able to withstand the violent attack from his second senior brother, so he hurried over to turn it over. He saw that apart from some broken skin areas, there was no other damage.

This made Han Cheng couldn't help but want to give Bo a thumbs up.

The relatively soft rattan becomes so tough after being woven and supported by each other. It is true that unity is strength, just like a pair of chopsticks put together.

Everyone looked at the smiling Son of God, and their confusion deepened. Shouldn't it be painful for the rattan vines to be smashed into this state by the rocks? Why did the Son of God look even happier?

However, the witch who came over after hearing the news and was standing nearby had a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he had noticed some of the Son of God's intentions, but was not too sure.

After seeing that the rattan shield was indeed tough, Han Cheng explained its purpose to everyone.

There was a look of understanding in Wu's eyes, and a little excitement, because he had finally guessed the Son of God's intention correctly.

The eldest senior brother also showed a look of realization. Thinking about the scene when he and the second senior brother threw stones at the rattan shield just now, he felt that the rattan shield could indeed be used to block attacks and reduce the harm to himself.

A stone that was about to fall on him, or the sharp claws of a large beast, was ultimately blocked by the vine shield in his hand, thus preventing him from being injured or even killed.

Thinking of this, I immediately felt that this rattan shield was of great significance.

As Han Cheng spoke, everyone gradually understood the function of the rattan shield and realized its significance.

Looking at the shield woven with tree branches, their eyes became eager, and their gazes toward the Son of God became more respectful. Even the lame man standing aside received many friendly and respectful glances.

This made this man, who once lived at the bottom of the Qingque tribe, blush with excitement, and at the same time, he became more determined to follow the Son of God and work hard to contribute to the tribe.

The eldest brother held the rattan shield in his hand and tried to block it by moving it up and down and left and right. Although his movements seemed a bit clumsy, they worked quite well.

The others also came forward to feel the freshly-made weapon.

Wu stood aside and watched with a smile. He had new things to record. After he understood the specific methods from the Son of God and Lame, he would start recording.

What is recorded is not only the method of making the rattan shield, but also its shape. The function and significance of the rattan shield are all indispensable.

Everyone gathered here and talked excitedly for a while, and Han Cheng spoke again.

He asked the eldest senior brother, who was already more familiar with the subject, to hold the rattan shield in front of him, and asked Shang to use a spear with a polished stone tip to attack the rattan shield. He wanted to see how effective the rattan shield would be when encountering a sharper stone spear in actual combat.

Of course, before starting, he also made special instructions, asking Shang, who was holding the stone spear and was responsible for the attack, to try and gradually increase the strength, and not to use all his strength right away.

Otherwise, if an accident happened during the experiment and someone was injured, it would be a huge loss.

The eldest brother holding the rattan shield and Shang holding the stone spear stood still, and the people around them dispersed to give them enough space.

The eldest brother held the handles behind the rattan shield tightly with both hands, stood with his feet apart, his body tense, and the muscles on his arms tightened even more.

He looked a little nervous. Although he had tested the rattan shield with a stone before and knew that it was quite tough, the rattan shield was leaning against the wall at that time. Now he was behind the rattan shield... and the stone spear was much sharper than the stone.

It was normal for him to be a little nervous in this situation.

“Boom!”

A not-too-loud sound was heard as the stone spear and the rattan shield collided, but the tough rattan shield did not receive much damage.

This made the senior brother feel much more at ease.

Shang signaled to the eldest senior brother that he should increase his strength. After seeing that the eldest senior brother was ready and nodded, he gripped the stone spear tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and stabbed at the eldest senior brother who was protecting his body with a vine shield!
