Chapter 57 The Wooden Arrows Aren't Very Effective



"Hey, Da Xiong, hurry up and cook some bone broth, and get some pork jerky for Si Si to eat."

Also, get this sorted out for me…”

Having said that, he pulled two harpy eagle carcasses from his bag…

"Wow!"

Everyone present gasped in surprise…

Fu Changxiong took the horn eagle and weighed it in his hands...

"Wow, is that an eagle? It's so heavy..."

Liu Sisi also praised with a surprised expression:

"Brother Feng...you're amazing! Even Sister Xiaoyan has never shot such a big eagle."

I heard their eyesight is incredibly sharp, how did you manage to shoot two?

Qi Xiaojie spoke up:

“I…Brother Feng…is…so…amazing, he…he…has…so many skills, you’ll see in the future.”

Ye Feng casually waved his hand...

"It's just good luck. Hurry up and deal with it. Stew one and stir-fry the other."

Remember, save the feathers for me; I killed them for those feathers.

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong immediately grabbed the pot and headed towards the pond…

Ye Feng put his arm around Liu Sisi's shoulder, his face beaming with smiles...

"Sisi, from now on... we're family. Do your best, and I promise you won't be treated unfairly."

The fawning smile startled Liu Sisi, who nodded, somewhat flattered…

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, I'll do my job well."

"Um…"

Seeing this, Ye Feng patted her shoulder with satisfaction, then went about his own business...

He took out the birch branches he had collected and went outside...

He couldn't wait to try out the arrows made of these woods...

Ye Feng picked up a straight branch and slowly used a knife to carve an arrowhead...

The process is similar to sharpening a pencil, but you have to be careful to control the degree of sharpening.

The arrow must be made into a relatively symmetrical streamline shape so as not to affect speed and balance.

He made each cut with utmost care, afraid of wasting any material.

Finally, after ten minutes, a wooden arrow was formed…

He immediately nocked an arrow, drew his bow, and aimed at a eucalyptus tree about fifteen meters away.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow was shot out...

Surprisingly, the arrow missed its target and was about a meter off course.

This is a very large margin of error. You should know that the target in Olympic archery competitions is only 1.2 meters long.

The interval between the rings is only 10 centimeters...

Moreover, Ye Feng clearly saw that when the arrow had traveled more than 10 meters, it had already significantly deviated from its original trajectory…

"Sigh...looks like we still need a tail fin..."

Having said that, he immediately began searching in the surrounding woods…

Before long, he arrived at the foot of a pine tree and pried off a piece of pale yellow resin that looked a bit like earwax with one claw.

This stuff is a tree secretion, and it's absolutely good for you.

It not only has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects, but also has extremely high viscosity, so it can be used as glue.

If you want to attach a fin to an arrow, you absolutely need this...

Ye Feng spent some time exploring the entire wooded area surrounding the hillside…

More than an hour later, he had a handful of pine resin in his hand.

Meanwhile, Fu Changxiong had already prepared the horn-carved feathers for him...

Generally speaking, a single hair, if used sparingly, can be used to make an arrow.

He cut a feather into three pieces, and then split it in two from the feather bone downwards.

Then, the outer skin of the arrow was peeled off, and after some polishing, it became much smoother.

Then, they lit a fire outside the camp, picked up a small piece of pine resin with chopsticks, and roasted it by the fire.

Before long, the resin turned into a soft, sticky liquid glue…

Upon seeing this, he immediately applied it to a spot one inch from the tail of the arrow.

Since the bow will be drawn by hand, space must be left for the fingers.

Finally, attach the three feathers to three different locations.

Just like the three corners of the Mercedes logo...

A few minutes later, the glue had completely hardened, and a somewhat authentic feathered arrow was finished…

Full of confidence, Ye Feng drew his bow again and shot the arrow at the same tree.

"Thump!"

The arrow actually embedded itself firmly in the tree…

"Ha ha!"

Ye Feng let out a loud laugh, then excitedly ran over...

But when he reached the tree, his smile vanished instantly…

The arrow did hit its mark, but it only went in about the depth of a little finger…

This arrow was shot with a compound bow; if it were a recurve bow, it would probably only barely stay in place.

The penetrating power is far too weak…

Given the wild boar's defensive capabilities, the bullets could probably only penetrate the flesh, but would hardly damage its internal organs.

If you accidentally shoot a wild boar in the bone, it won't be fatal...

Judging from the arc of the arrow, Ye Feng felt that the wooden arrow's range was...

Compared to the original arrows, there were probably about a third fewer, and the trajectory was still somewhat off.

But this is not even the most serious problem…

After Ye Feng pulled out the wooden arrow, he discovered that the arrowhead was broken off.

This shows that the ability to insert a finger deep is mostly due to the explosive power of the compound bow.

But the wooden arrow simply couldn't withstand that force...

Such arrows, let alone killing wild boars, would not kill a person even if they hit the bone.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng, holding the arrow, plopped down on the ground and fell silent…

He looked somewhat dejected at that moment, but after a short while, he stood up again.

He's not one to give up easily.

Whether it's a wild boar or any other challenger, they are all very likely to become his enemies in the future.

If you don't have any weapons to defend yourself, you'll end up like those two dead men today, lying exposed in the wilderness...

As a military strategist once said, "Truth lies only within the range of artillery fire."

After briefly clarifying his thoughts, Ye Feng decided to manufacture arrows…

He looked up at the sky; it was probably only four o'clock in the afternoon…

"There's still time..."

He muttered something and then immediately returned to the treehouse, looking at Liu Sisi who was threading a needle...

"You, pack your things and come up the mountain with me."

Liu Sisi was stunned...

"Brother Feng, what are we doing up the mountain? Didn't you ask me to be your pillow?"

Ye Feng replied while packing his backpack:

"There'll be plenty of time to make pillows later. I have something more urgent to do right now. This concerns everyone's safety."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi didn't ask any further questions...

Ye Feng emptied one backpack, grabbed a compound bow and a Nepalese knife, and led her up the mountain...

During the journey, Liu Sisi could no longer contain her curiosity and excitedly asked:

"Brother Feng, are we going to kill a wild boar?"

Ye Feng glanced at her…

"No...we're going to dig soil up the mountain."

Liu Sisi became even more curious…

What are you digging for?
