In the two or three days after the sacrifice, the Qingque tribe was immersed in a mysterious and indescribable atmosphere.
That drum was given great attention by the people of the Qingque tribe. It was carefully placed in front of the totem pole and enjoyed the same treatment as the feather crown and bone staff.
After the sacrifice, people became more enthusiastic about making bows, arrows, and slings.
Every day, according to the Son of God's request, he would practice slingshots or arrows outside for a while.
However, the target of the feather arrow was no longer the temporary wooden stake, but a rough rope woven with grass, about half a meter in diameter, tightly coiled in circles.
The very center of the target made of straw rope was painted black by Han Cheng with black charcoal.
Circles were also drawn in other places with charcoal.
At the beginning, if someone could shoot an arrow onto the target, others would cheer. Later, as people became more familiar with bows and arrows, more and more people could shoot arrows onto the target, and shooting an arrow onto the target no longer caused much reaction from the crowd.
Only by doing what Junior Brother Sha is doing now, standing sixty meters away and shooting an arrow at the bull's eye that has been painted black by the Son of God, can one arouse cheers from the crowd.
Someone tried to pull out the arrow, and it took a lot of effort to pull the arrow shot by Junior Brother Shangsha out of the target.
The man couldn't help but be surprised. How powerful was this arrow? At such a long distance, he not only shot through the straw target, but also nailed the feather arrow into the wooden pillar behind the target!
After pulling out the feather arrow, he was surprised to find that this feather arrow was different from the ones he was familiar with.
The arrowhead was not made of wood that had been sharpened by fire, but was instead a piece of raw bone that had been polished to a very sharp point.
No wonder this arrow was able to penetrate the straw target and penetrate into the wood.
He was thinking this in a daze, and then a kind of enlightenment came into his mind.
Yes, we can add sharp bones to the heads of the feather arrows!
Everyone also noticed this and came to ask Junior Brother Sha about the bone arrowhead.
Junior Brother Sha naturally would not keep them for himself. In a good mood, he took out the remaining feather arrows and showed them to everyone, while explaining to them the method of making bone arrowheads.
The story of adding bone arrowheads to feather arrows started a few days ago.
When a person is obsessed with something, he or she will often think about and improve it consciously or unconsciously.
Just as Mr. Pu Songling said, if a person is stupid by nature, he will be determined. Therefore, a person who is obsessed with books will be good at writing, and a person who is obsessed with skills will be good at art... Those who are down and out and have no achievements in the world are all so-called non-stupid people.
This is how Junior Brother Sha handles the bow and arrow.
After he gradually calmed down from his initial love for bows and arrows, he began to think about the uses of bows and arrows.
Bows and arrows can be used for hunting and for defending against enemies.
After thinking carefully about these two questions, he was no longer satisfied with shooting at wooden stakes every day.
Because the wooden stake is not a stake, it is neither prey nor an enemy.
There were no enemies at this time, and it was obviously not possible to use enemies to test the power of the bow and arrow, so he set his sights on the prey.
After telling the Son of God, the witch, and the chief about his idea, he left the tribe with a bow and arrow and a stone spear to look for prey outside to test the power of the bow and arrow. His idea turned into picking two rabbits out of the rabbit pen...
The results of the experiment were not very good. When the distance was close, the feather arrow could pierce the rabbit's body, but as the distance increased, the damage that the feather arrow could cause to the rabbit became smaller and smaller.
Later on, he couldn't even penetrate a rabbit's skin.
This discovery made Junior Brother Sha very distressed. If this was the case when encountering a rabbit with thin skin, wouldn't it be even worse when encountering sheep, deer, leopards, saber-toothed tigers and other creatures?
He spent the next few days thinking about this problem.
At first, his solution was to rebuild the bow to be longer and thicker.
He did so, and it did have some effect, but it was not as obvious as he had imagined. This discovery made him give up the idea of making a more powerful bow.
Because of the newly made bow, he had a hard time pulling it.
I continued thinking like this until I was absent-mindedly eating at night and was pricked by a fish bone.
Sharp fish bones can pierce into one's flesh, so if one ties the fish bones to the arrows of arrows, wouldn't one be able to shoot the arrows into the flesh of the prey?
He thought excitedly, then shook his head, because the fishbone was too fragile...
With this idea in mind, the appearance of bone arrowheads was not far away.
Han Cheng saw all of Junior Brother Sha's actions, but he did not interfere. Instead, he just watched quietly.
If the Qingque tribe wants to prosper and become stronger, it cannot rely on him alone. It is also necessary to cultivate other talents.
Otherwise, the situation would have ended up like that of the Three Kingdoms period, when the Shu Han lost its talents and Zhuge Liang passed away at Wuzhangyuan. The Shu Han would have been in a precarious situation and then collapsed. That would have been really heartbreaking.
When Han Cheng saw Junior Brother Sha circling around the bones and then starting to pick them out, a smile appeared on his face...
At a certain distance from the archery practice, there is a slingshot practice area set up at the instruction of Han Cheng.
This is basically a no-entry zone, as there are slingshots whistling in circles and rocks flying everywhere, making the danger level extremely high.
In view of Han Dashenzi's glorious record of smashing a tile with his first shot, the slingshot practice area is far away from houses and places where people can easily pass.
The second brother, who was the best at using the slingshot and had smashed a rabbit to pieces with it a few days ago, saw the unusual reaction in the archery area.
He stood there and watched for a while, then paid no further attention. He skillfully put a stone bullet into the slingshot pocket, and after his arm circled the slingshot twice in the air, he quickly let go. The stone bullet in the net bag suddenly flew out and hit the target made of hay standing there from a distance, knocking the target down...
The people in the Qingque tribe set aside some time every day to practice archery and slingshots. Not only the men, but the women too need to practice.
The situation where the man works outside and the woman works inside will never happen at this time.
Relying solely on men is not enough to protect the safety of the tribe when encountering a powerful enemy.
In the current Qingque tribe, women, who far outnumber men, truly hold up half the sky.
When the sun was brighter and the weather was a little warmer, the Son of God would have everyone climb up the low wall and use these two new weapons to attack the straw men and strange-looking straw "animals" erected outside the wall, outside the "wooden stick formation" that was almost invisible and covered with snow.
When placing these straw men and straw objects, the people who go to place them will be very careful and keep looking at a small sign standing in the snow at a distance outside the wall.
On these inconspicuous small signs, there is a somewhat abstract skull drawn in charcoal, with two crossed bones below the skull.
This thing was created by the Son of God to remind the people of the Green Bird Tribe that on the side of this wooden sign near the wall is the extremely dangerous "wooden stick formation" that is almost invisible under the snow...
