Chapter 122 Weapon Making
The next day, the members of the Black Goose tribe arrived early at the same meeting place as before, waiting for Hagang to lead them in practicing dart throwing.
When Ha Gang taught the Black Goose tribe members the movements they needed to practice on the first day, he practiced the basics with them for a while before going off to practice more advanced skills on his own.
Xu Que and Hou watched the Black Goose tribe members train from the sidelines.
The training was tedious and boring, and some members wanted to slack off after training for a while.
Seeing this, Ha Gang said to the members whose faces were full of boredom, "How do you feel about your practice? If you think you've mastered this move, you can move on to the next one! If you think you've mastered the next move, you can continue practicing the one after that!"
"I think I've practiced all of this well! Look! I can even pin the dart directly to the tree! Now I'm going to practice hitting moving targets!" A very talented member of the Black Goose tribe used the branch darts that Hagang had given them to shoot at a large tree not far away.
The dart thrown by this tribal member was firmly embedded in the tree. Ha Gang tried to pull it out a few times, and the effect and force were the same as when he nailed it in himself!
"Hmm! Not bad! Not bad! It seems you have a real talent for throwing darts! Your strength and accuracy are better than mine!" Hagang said to the member in front of him.
“Actually, I can throw just as well as him! I’ll show you!” After saying that, another member hit the tree trunk in front of him with a thud using the branch dart in his hand.
Ha Gang estimated that the force with which this twig dart penetrated the tree was much greater than that of the dart that the previous member had shot into the tree; both its power and accuracy were significantly higher.
“I can throw with that kind of power and accuracy too!” Another member said, throwing his tree branch dart, which landed firmly in the tree with a snap.
“Actually, I believe all of our members here can easily shoot this simple, child’s play into the tree!” As soon as the member of the Black Goose Tribe finished speaking, the members of the defense team threw out their tree branch darts one by one, and without exception, all the darts were embedded in the big tree in front of them.
Hagang was dumbfounded by what he saw: "Now I realize you're all child prodigies! When it comes to throwing darts with branches! What do I need to teach you?! You guys are amazing! I'll tell you right now, the fact that you can throw darts with branches to this extent means you're all masters!"
"You've already graduated from darts throwing! Now all you need to do is practice getting used to it!" Hagang said to all the members.
The trainees said in unison, "Could you give each of us more of these twig darts? One dart per person isn't enough! If we throw it into a ditch or somewhere else, we have to run over to pick it up and throw it again, which is such a waste of time! It would be great if everyone had an endless supply of twig darts!"
“Isn’t that simple? We can be self-sufficient. We have plenty of branches around us. We can just use whatever we have! I’ll make my own darts!” said a rather robust member of the Black Goose Tribe’s defense team.
"Exactly! Now that you've reminded me, I've got an idea! I can do it myself!" At the suggestion of some members, members of the Black Goose tribe broke off usable branches one by one and snapped them into the desired size by hand.
"You can still get them to pierce the tree trunk even without a sharp point! It's easier to pierce the trunk with a sharp point, and it requires less force!"
"You think you can pierce a tree trunk without even sharpening it? Are you that strong? I can't possibly stick a pointless branch into a tree trunk! See? My strength is clearly much greater than yours, and even I'm not confident I can pierce it into a tree trunk. You think you can just break off a pointless branch from the ground and throw it like a dart into a big tree? You're all too confident! I certainly can't pierce them into a tree trunk!" Hagang said to the Black Goose Tribe guards who were breaking off branches for him.
A group of Black Goose tribe members who were busy making darts for themselves put down the branches they were breaking when they heard what their coach, Hagang, said, and they all seemed to be quite obedient.
"Yeah! Boss is right! There's no need to bring sharp twig darts. Even our coaches, who have been practicing here for so long, aren't confident they can get them to pierce tree trunks, so there's even less chance for us! I think I'll just leave these darts without sharp points behind!"
"Yes! What you said makes a lot of sense! I support your point! I won't make my own tree branch darts anymore! Let's wait for the Black Deer Tribe's professional weapon makers to make them for us!"
"Big guy, are you going to make your own darts? Throw them through trees with those darts that don't have sharp points?" a member of the Black Goose Tribe's defense team said to the tall and thin man in front of him.
“Big guy, we believe you’re stronger than us usually, but no matter how strong you are, you can’t possibly throw darts without sharp points into a tree trunk, can you?”
"I can actually get inside a tree trunk! I tried it last night and it worked!" The big guy said, picking up a blunt twig dart and throwing it at a large tree trunk not far away.
As the tree trunk and branches collided, a "snap" was heard, and the tree branch dart that the big guy had made himself spun straight up with a "buzzing" sound and quickly pierced through the tree!
The members of the Black Goose Tribe's security team looked at each other in astonishment: "You can actually put that inside a tree trunk? How much strength does that take? It's unbelievable! Come on! Show me another one!" One of the members next to the big guy picked up a branch that had fallen to the ground and handed it to him: "Throw one more! This branch doesn't have a sharp point either!"
The big man laughed and shot the twig he was holding into the tree trunk again!
Most of his companions, including Hagang, were dumbfounded: "Throwing tree branch darts so easily? No way! Let me try!"
As he spoke, Ha Gang picked up a branch without a sharp point from the ground and, standing at the top of the group, threw it forcefully at a large tree trunk not far in front of him.
The darts, without sharp twigs, stuck into the tree trunk! Hagang was somewhat surprised: "Brothers, after my professional testing, even resin darts without sharp points can definitely stick to big trees! It seems I underestimated my abilities!"
