The vines were not as tough as he had imagined. The seemingly weak and inferior wooden bow, paired with the iron arrowheads, actually managed to pierce through the shield.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Feng frowned; the arrow had penetrated more than ten centimeters deep.
This distance is enough to injure the shield-wielder's body...
Most people might think that holding it a little further away will be fine, or that it won't be fatal.
But Ye Feng remembered that during the battle with Bai Ying and the others the day before yesterday, their arrows were coated with some kind of poison.
Therefore, to ensure absolute safety, it is still necessary to reinforce the rattan shield.
About half an hour later, a dozen people carried a tree as thick as a thigh to the open space.
Ye Feng quickly took out the measuring tape from his bag and stepped forward...
After observing for a while, he pulled out his knife again and began to carve lines on the tree trunk while measuring something with the knife.
Once everything was finished, they started sawing with the saws...
Just like cutting vegetables, you can saw it into a round wooden plate.
Many hands make light work. When they were building the sentry post, Zhan Pengfei had already taught them how to use a saw. This kind of physical labor can be completed quickly as long as there are enough people.
With dozens of people taking turns pulling, the tree was cut down to less than half an hour.
Following Ye Feng's instructions, they then sawed the cut-off wooden discs into smaller pieces.
It took them more than two hours to get some rectangular planks, 3 centimeters thick.
Finally, Ye Feng had them boil pine resin and glue the wooden boards onto the shield.
In this way, the shield becomes thicker, thus greatly increasing its load-bearing capacity.
Although it is somewhat unreliable and unsightly, as the saying goes, a good plaster is one that can draw out pus.
As long as it can block arrows, it is a successful shield.
Ye Feng raised his arrow again, drew the bowstring taut, and fired an arrow at the shield...
Sure enough... the arrow pierced the stuck wood, but it didn't penetrate the innermost vine shield.
Only then... can the shield be considered complete.
Meanwhile, in the forest surrounding the tribe, Bai Ying had already begun her operation...
Ever since he learned last night that Ye Feng had created arrows, he felt that his hope of revenge was becoming increasingly slim.
Ye Feng's creativity far exceeded her imagination. If she allowed him to continue developing in this way, those Baijia tribe natives would become even stronger.
Therefore, we must take action as soon as possible.
The chances of winning a direct confrontation are very low. The only way to kill Ye Feng is to lure him out first.
Now that Ye Feng is Allah, he certainly won't neglect his people.
Bai Ying had actually considered... why not just expose Ye Feng's fake identity in front of the Baijia clan?
The Baija people will certainly not let Ye Feng get away with faking his faith in Allah.
They might kill Ye Feng without him even lifting a finger.
However, while the idea is wonderful, putting it into practice is incredibly difficult.
A nation that is extremely feudal and backward has very stubborn and inflexible thinking...
Once they've been brainwashed by something, they'll believe it without question, and no amount of persuasion from others will help.
Let's set aside the question of whether these natives have been successfully brainwashed by Ye Feng...
Even if there wasn't one, given my current status, Ye Feng would never believe me if I exposed him.
Because during the battle the day before yesterday, they tried to kill them, and they also got involved with the Shuar tribe, the mortal enemies of the Baija tribe, their words are even less credible.
For now, all we can do is lie in ambush and wait for them to leave the tribe...
If we can capture some members of the Baijia clan, we can use them to coerce Ye Feng into coming out.
As Allah is the guardian deity of the Baikal people, if he disagrees, his identity will be questioned.
If he agrees, all the better. I'll take this opportunity to kill him, and then deal with the rest of the people slowly.
Bai Ying seemed confident in her plan and dispersed all of her 40-plus active subordinates.
There are people constantly monitoring every direction within the surrounding woods...
With so many people in the tribe, the daily food consumption must be huge, and someone must have to go out to find food.
And if anyone comes out, they will be captured immediately.
In fact, Bai Ying's idea was theoretically feasible, but she underestimated Ye Feng's brainwashing ability.
Even if she were to capture the High Priest and the Chieftain to blackmail them, perhaps without Ye Feng even having to make a decision, Tatis would never allow Ye Feng to risk coming to save her.
In their hearts, faith is far more important than their own lives; they may die, but God can never perish.
Time ticked by, and everyone hid in various corners of the jungle, keeping a close eye on the direction of the Baijia tribe.
And so, they waited from midday until sunset...
Bai Ying guarded the east, Basolang guarded the south, Dato and Dak guarded the north, and Batakinu guarded the west.
In the jungle, the mosquitoes are most ferocious at dusk, resembling wolves with ravenous eyes.
Dato and Dark, lying prone in the grass, didn't have the same patience as the mercenaries, and they didn't care whether their position would be exposed.
He actually sat up and started swatting mosquitoes...
The two had applied insect repellent herbs to their bodies, but they were still bothered by the mosquitoes flying around.
The buzzing noise bothered them, as if someone was constantly making noise in their ears.
"Damn it! These damn bugs!" Dato muttered as he swatted at the mosquitoes.
"You've made me suffer all this. If I ever catch Ye Feng, I'll twist his skull off and make it into jewelry!"
Compared to his exposed state, Dark was also on the verge of collapse, waving his hands wildly to shoo away mosquitoes...
"This is so annoying! Dark, how much longer are we going to put up with this? If it continues like this, I'd rather just walk in and fight those bitches head-on."
Clearly, the two men were disgusted by this passive approach; they had never experienced such hardship when dealing with the Baija tribe before.
"Never mind..." Dato stopped what he was doing, sat down on the grass and panted heavily, as if he was tired of swatting mosquitoes.
He didn't like this either, but fortunately he had some sense and knew that they couldn't fight head-on this time. Bai Ying's plan was correct.
"Just bear with it. Making big money requires patience."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Dark suddenly pointed behind him... "A snake!"
Dato immediately turned around and saw that, sure enough... not far behind him, a black and gray striped viper was wriggling and crawling toward him.
"Wow!"
Dak yelled and, without caring whether the snake was coming for him, darted to the side.
It's funny, even though he's an indigenous person, he's terrified of snakes.
However, this shout alerted the sentry dozens of meters away. The female soldier on guard immediately drew her bow and arrow, sticking her head out of the window to stare in the direction of the two.
"who!?"
A deep female shout came from behind, and Dato and his companion knew they were in trouble. If they were discovered, their day's stakeout would be for nothing.
However, they reacted quickly, and with waist-high grass and plants all around, they immediately squatted down and buried themselves completely in the bushes.
Dato quickly made a strange hand gesture, pursed his lips, and blew hard...
"Coo coo coo! Coo coo coo!"
A bird call rang out, the sound slightly different from his earlier call, but fortunately the volume was about the same.
The female soldier on duty listened for a while, then frowned and pulled her head back, seemingly not noticing anything amiss.
Seeing this, Dato and his companion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's keep waiting, we can't expose ourselves... Let's endure it for the sake of money."
After saying that, the two could only sigh helplessly and continue to squat in the grass.
However, neither of them noticed that in the vegetation above and to their right, two large, hateful eyes had been staring at them intently for quite some time.
This person was none other than Ye Feng's hidden sentry, Naliga...
He and his sister Narime stayed in different positions on the periphery, monitoring everything around them.
After all, pork jerky isn't something you eat for nothing...
