Chapter 87 The Power of the Longbow
The sound of the arrow being shot out had just fallen, and the bowstring was still trembling.
In the distance, there was another loud "puff" sound.
That was the sound of the arrow hitting the target and penetrating an object.
The distance was quite far, and Jiang Wanwan could only vaguely see that it seemed to be inserted into a tree.
As for how far it was inserted, she could not see it clearly.
Fortunately, someone was more anxious than her!
The people in the hunting team were full of curiosity about the longbow, a weapon they had never seen before.
At this moment, seeing the speed of the attack and the extremely long distance, they were even more surprised.
Several people couldn't wait to run out of the supermarket and head towards the direction of the arrow.
And as the force that shot this arrow, they couldn't control their curiosity.
He hesitated for a moment before handing the longbow to his son standing beside him.
Then, he followed the pace of the people in front of him and went out of the supermarket in the direction of Jianzhi.
Seeing that the clan leader had run over, the rest of the people could not wait any longer and left the supermarket one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Wanwan and Dan were the only two people left in the huge supermarket.
Dan looked at the longbow in his hand carefully over and over again, his eyes full of joy.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan smiled and suggested.
"Although this bow is very powerful, it also requires a lot of strength. You can try to see if you can pull it completely open."
It requires a lot of strength?
Dan immediately became interested, and he wanted to give it a try.
Dan imitated his father's posture and slowly pulled the longbow open.
Since there is no arrow, you don't have to worry too much about pulling the empty bow, just use your strength.
As Dan exerted force with his arms, the longbow was slowly pulled open.
It was smooth at the beginning, but he began to lose strength at the end.
When the longbow was about to be fully stretched, his arms began to tremble.
Finally, when the veins on Dan's neck bulged, he finally stretched the longbow to the limit.
However, the limit state lasted less than three seconds before he could no longer support it and slowly loosened it.
At this moment, Dan's arms were shaking uncontrollably due to excessive force.
After completely loosening the bowstring, he let out a long sigh of relief and said with regret.
"It really requires a lot of strength. I can't unleash its full power yet."
"You're already very powerful!" Jiang Wanwan exclaimed.
She asked Dan to try the bow because she wanted to test the approximate strength of the primitive man.
Now that the strength has been tested, it is far beyond her expectations.
Jiang Wanwan knows very well how much strength is needed to pull a 200-pound longbow.
And this Dan should be only a teenager, right? He can already pull the longbow completely?
Then, how strong should an adult primitive man be?
No wonder he can hunt down beasts one after another with just simple weapons!
"It doesn't matter. When you become an adult in two years, you will be able to pull it easily. Then your father will give you a longbow!"
Jiang Wanwan had heard Ye say before that they would be considered adults at the age of fifteen and could join the hunting team.
In other words, Dan is only thirteen years old now?
Jiang Wanwan was amazed at Dan's young age, and looked at the sound.
She saw that all the people who went out to look at the arrows had returned. The
one who just spoke was Li, and he was still holding the arrow he had shot before.
Dan was very excited by his father's words. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, father!"
Then he noticed the arrow in Li's hand and asked, "How powerful is this arrow when it is shot?"
When this topic was mentioned, Li didn't even need to speak, and the people next to him hurriedly interrupted.
You said one sentence after another, and the situation was made clear by the chattering.
The arrow just now hit a tree trunk a hundred steps away.
The trunk is about as thick as two hands can hold together, and the arrow is about halfway into the tree.
The arrows for the longbow are specially made and longer than ordinary arrows.
Halfway into the tree?
In this case, it must have penetrated at least 60 to 70 centimeters into the tree. The power is terrifying!
But a hundred steps away? This distance is a little wrong, isn't it?
However, Jiang Wanwan changed her mind and turned around again.
The hundred steps away mentioned by these primitive people is not the same as her understanding of a hundred steps away.
After all, with the primitive people's height of two meters and five, one step must be at least one meter, right?
After understanding the power of the longbow, the expression on Dan's face became more and more surprised, and he only listened to what he said.
"Can we shoot so far? Besides hunting wild animals, can't we also shoot birds?"
After Dan finished speaking, his eyes immediately looked at the huge bird's nest on the distant tree.
In this way, everyone immediately understood what he meant.
This partridge forest is near the tribe and there are few wild animals. It should have been a good place for gathering.
But because the partridges in the forest can fly, it is really difficult to hunt.
And the berries produced in this forest are not too many.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Scorching Sun Tribe finally gave up the idea of developing this place.
But now it's different.
Jiang Wanwan lives here, so they have to come here often to exchange some supplies.
And the idle children in the tribe will also come here often in the future.
Therefore, they must have found a way to hunt the flying pheasants!
Now, the longbow came just in time, just in time to help them quickly hunt the flying pheasants.
Thinking of this, the joy on everyone's faces became even more intense.
Finally, Li was the first to ask, "How many star coins are there for this longbow and arrows?" "
The longbow and the iron pot are 500 star coins each, and the arrows are 10 star coins each."
Jiang Wanwan answered and then added an explanation.
"This longbow can be used for a long time if it is properly maintained, and the arrows can also be reused."
Li looked at the bow and arrows, and then at the salt on the shelf, with a tangled expression.
Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Jiang Wanwan thought for a while and suggested.
"You have a total of 1,427 star coins. You can exchange some urgent items first. When you find ginseng and ganoderma tomorrow and exchange them for a lot of star coins, you can exchange them for other goods!"
Jiang Wanwan's words finally made Li make up his mind, and he just listened to what he said.
"Give me a longbow with 5 arrows, an iron pot, a pack of salt, a pack of sugar, 2 machetes, a pack of instant noodles, and the rest for buns."
"Okay, in addition to what you said, you can also exchange for 8 buns, and then there is 1 star coin left. You can choose to exchange it for a bottle of mineral water, or keep it with me for tomorrow."
After two contacts, Li had a preliminary trust in Jiang Wanwan, so he said, "Keep it here!"
Jiang Wanwan nodded and began to take the goods he needed.
After getting the goods, they prepared to leave.
"Wait, I have something else to say." Jiang Wanwan suddenly stopped them.
"What's the matter?"
"I go to bed early at night, and the store is closed after dark. If you need anything, come back the next morning!"
Li was stunned after hearing this. Although he was a little puzzled, he still nodded and agreed.
Jiang Wanwan didn't go to bed early, but she had to go back to Earth!
In the primitive world, although there were beasts at night, it was obviously not like zombies would go berserk.
Therefore, they might go out after dark, such as the situation last night.
Jiang Wanwan said this just because she was afraid that they would go out empty-handed.
After all, after the supermarket was upgraded to level three, she estimated that they would not stay overnight and had to go back to Earth every day.
