Ten minutes later, Ye Feng let out a long breath.
"Wow, it's done!"
Everyone rushed forward to see.
At this moment, Ye Feng had two rectangular green rattan shields, each about one meter long and half a meter wide, in his hands.
The pattern on it is wavy and not very pretty, but it still looks decent.
Tang Weiwei took it and tapped on it for a while, looking worried.
"Ye Feng, are you sure... this thing can stop a compound bow? Isn't it a bit too thin?"
"Hmm~"
Ye Feng looked at the shield and nodded.
"It would be a bit of a stretch to use a compound bow directly, but... I'm not putting all my hopes on it."
As he spoke, he looked at Fu Changxiong, who was sawing firewood to the side.
"Nobita, are you done yet?"
"It'll be ready soon. How about this?"
Fu Changxiong simply tossed a rectangular piece of firewood to Ye Feng.
Actually, it's a wooden board, about 7 centimeters thick.
When they went out to look for vines in the morning, they cut down a tree and sawed it into this shape.
Ye Feng held a shield in his right hand and a wooden board in his left, pressing them together under the puzzled gazes of the crowd.
"What if we glued such thick wooden planks onto the shield?"
"Oh~"
Everyone immediately understood that the woven vine shield itself had extremely high toughness.
If you add a 5-centimeter-thick solid wet wooden board, not to mention a bow, even a small crossbow bolt might not be able to penetrate it completely.
"As expected of you, your ideas are truly unique."
Even Tang Weiwei, who is not fond of praising others, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Liu Sisi continued:
"Brother Feng, since that's the case... why don't we make a few more?"
"Spare me..."
Ye Feng stretched lazily. After collecting vines this morning, he only slept for a few hours before getting up to weave them…
I'm so sleepy right now, my eyelids are drooping...
"This stuff uses up too many vines. We've already cut down all the vines in the vicinity today. If we want to find more, we'll have to go to faraway places."
There are eyes watching us all the time.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Ye Feng had already made his decision: he would never fight Kainerst in an unfamiliar wilderness.
The risk was too great. He didn't want to gamble with the lives of any of his companions.
"And... I'm going to glue all the planks onto the shield. It'll weigh at least thirty or forty pounds; most people couldn't lift it. Ah..."
At this point, he let out a tired yawn.
"I can't stay awake any longer, I'm going to sleep now. If those guys come again, wake me up quickly."
The rest of the work is up to you. Don't cut corners; this is a crucial weapon against Cairnster.
"No problem, you can trust me to handle things."
Fu Changxiong, holding the saw, agreed with a confident expression.
The group was divided into pairs, taking turns to stake out the location.
Now it's Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie's turn...
For the first half hour, the two were quite energetic, but as time went on, they felt their consciousness begin to fade.
Humans are, after all, animals that roam during the day, and even if you force yourself to turn on the computer, you still can't stop yourself from feeling extremely sleepy.
Most importantly, the constant chirping of insects around them was, frankly, like a lullaby in the pitch-black night, echoing in their ears.
Soon, the two men who had been staking out the spot became drowsy, their eyelids completely out of control, and they fell asleep leaning against the wall.
Magical attacks, no one can stop them...
However, just half an hour after they fell asleep, Cairnster and his group appeared.
It must be said that he is indeed a qualified veteran hunter.
They had complete control over Ye Feng and the others' actions.
As someone who is somewhat familiar with China, he naturally knows that Chinese people believe in working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
It's almost 3 a.m. now, and without a phone or internet, no one can stay awake to this lullaby-like chirping of insects.
Tonight, he's planning to play something big for Ye Feng and the others.
"Be quick, set the fire and run."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly split up and got ready.
Horford and Sandar quickly ran to the treehouse, laid out firewood, and lit it.
After they got it burning, they picked up the firewood and threw it upwards with all their might.
Six or seven burning pieces of firewood were thrown onto the roof, making a thumping sound.
Fu Changxiong and his companion immediately woke up and smelled the familiar smoke.
Looking up again, I saw that the roof was made of plant leaves and moss.
It is highly flammable after it dries, and you can still faintly see sparks from inside the house.
"Holy crap! Enemy attack!"
Fu Changxiong shouted, instantly waking everyone up.
At the same time, accompanied by a series of coughs, they began to put out the fire.
"Quick, fetch water! Da Xiong, Xiao Jieba, you two go up to the roof and put out the fire. Take your shields!"
"Leave the rest to us."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately went about their respective duties.
The fire under the tree is easy to extinguish; just open the entrance to the treehouse and pour water down.
The fire on the roof could only be extinguished by climbing up the shooting window and slowly dousing it with water, but this would expose the hidden mechanism.
The two climbed the wooden ladder, carrying water bottles, and when they opened the firing port, they found that the fire was already raging.
They quickly started pouring water…
Fortunately, this is the design of a yurt; it tilts from top to bottom, so the water naturally flows onto the fire.
Soon, the flames gradually shrank as the two continued to pour water on them.
But just then, a pair of sharp eyes in the distance fixed their gaze on them.
Using his binoculars, Cairnster spotted the two figures in the dim light of the fire.
"I didn't expect there to be shooting skylights on the roof. Luckily I didn't launch a full-scale attack, or something really bad would have happened."
"Heh... Ye Feng, that fox, is really cunning!"
While admiring Ye Feng's treehouse, he also noticed the dark, unidentified rectangular object in front of Fu Changxiong and the other man.
His silver eyebrows furrowed immediately, a sense of doubt arising in his heart.
"Is this a backpack? Or... a shield!?"
According to the information he had, Ye Feng did not seem to possess such a thing.
But if the opponent really has a shield, wouldn't the power of my bow and arrow be greatly reduced?
After thinking for a moment, he decided to try and see what this thing was.
He quickly set up his crossbow and pulled out a wooden jar.
It contained half a can of murky gray liquid.
This is a mixture of plant poisons and tree sap poisons that he collected, including poison dart frog toxins, totaling seven or eight kinds.
Once it enters the bloodstream, it can cause shock within one minute and death within three minutes.
He dipped the arrow tip in the quiver, then immediately placed it in the quiver and aimed at Fu Changxiong.
Two seconds later…
"Whoosh!"
The sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out, and the arrow pierced into the shield in front of Fu Changxiong in the blink of an eye.
"ah!……"
While he was putting out the fire, he suddenly felt a weight on his arm, and an arrow pierced through his shield...
A third of the arrow pierced the shield and came within 10 centimeters of his head.
Fortunately, he placed his shield far enough away, otherwise the arrow would have surely pierced his head.
Once he came to his senses, he immediately determined the direction from which the arrow had come.
"They're at the 9 o'clock position!"
