You don't have any either?
He stared at Jiao Bai with wide eyes and asked him the same question.
"I don't smoke."
Both of them were a bit dumbfounded. They had a solution, but they didn't have the tools to start a fire. Wasn't that a mess?
"Hey, have you ever heard of starting a fire by rubbing sticks together?"
Yaji asked tentatively.
Jiao Bai glared at him, then looked around and noticed a withered tree protruding from the cliff face. It was growing relatively high, so it must be quite dry.
He leaped up and broke off a few branches from the dead tree.
Yaji used his dagger to cut a dry, pointed branch, pressed it against a relatively thick piece of wood, and began to vigorously rub the branch between his hands.
Everyone understands the principle of starting a fire by friction; it's simply about using rapid friction to generate heat and ignite the wood.
But when it comes to actually doing it, it's not like that at all.
If the speed is not fast enough or the technique is wrong, it is difficult to generate enough heat. Jiao Bai rubbed for a long time, and his hands were red. The tip of the stick did look a little charred, but it was still a long way from catching fire.
The howling of wolves could be heard in the distance. The pack of wolves that had come to assemble should be arriving soon.
The wolves nearby were also howling in response to the wolf pack in the distance, guiding them in the right direction.
"How could you be so stupid? There's no time! Use my shoelaces."
Jiao Bai's clumsy technique displeased Yaji, and the howls of wolves made him uneasy.
Having grown up in the jungle, he knew all too well what would happen if he were surrounded by wolves and didn't have fire.
Jiao Bai was quick-witted and immediately understood his meaning, untying the long black shoelaces from his leather boots.
Then, under Yaji's guidance, a bow was made.
By wrapping the bowstring around a branch and pulling it back and forth, the branch can be made to spin rapidly, much faster than by rubbing it by hand.
The wolf howls grew closer, and pairs of gleaming green wolf eyes could even be seen flashing in the woods.
No fewer than ten wolves have arrived nearby.
