Chapter 36 Assembling the Compound Bow



"Brother, don't worry. With their physiques, I can easily beat them up."

"If either of them dares to come here and cause us trouble, I'll definitely cripple them!"

Ye Feng sighed; Fu Changxiong's current state was what worried him most…

"Da Xiong, they're not stupid. If they can't beat you, can't they use tools?"

Besides, what makes you think there are only two of them?

As you know, they started killing and robbing from day one. We don't even know how many tools they have or how many people they have now.

You'll suffer a great loss if you underestimate your opponent like this.

Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong paused. If it were a matter of bare hands, among all the challengers, there were probably very few who could match him…

But if the other side really has some lethal weapons, and there are many of them, then it's hard to say...

"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just move, can we? This place is so nice..."

Ye Feng waved his hand...

"Forget it, let's hurry up and wash. Once I've assembled the compound bow... even if they're ruthless, it'll only take one arrow..."

After saying this, Ye Feng directed Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie to throw the two skeletons downstream, letting them drift away with the river...

After taking a shower, the three of them felt refreshed and in much better spirits. They quickly began cooking…

They didn't eat dinner yesterday, and now their stomachs are growling loudly...

Ye Feng filled the frying pan with more than half water and took out the pork bones that had already been prepared...

Then I climbed up the elephant's leg tree and picked a handful of leaves, so at least I had both meat and vegetables...

Although the pork bones had started to smell a bit, once they were boiled, the high temperature would kill 99% of the bacteria, so it was perfectly safe to drink.

The marrow inside these pork bones is a highly nutritious food; 100 grams of marrow can provide a person with 750 calories.

This is almost a third of an adult's daily energy intake, and he still has a whole backpack full of these bones.

Start your day with a bowl of authentic wild boar bone soup, followed by a couple of bites of high-quality, no-tech, no-hard-working pork jerky…

This breakfast was something Ye Feng had never indulged in even during his university years…

Half an hour later, the pale white bone broth was ready...

It has no added seasonings, yet it still exudes a rich aroma...

As the saying goes... high-quality ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods...

Since the three of them didn't have bowls, they could only wait for the soup to cool down on its own...

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Feng took out the plastic bag containing the compound bow parts…

Arrange all the parts neatly in front of you...

Whether for hunting or for his own safety, he had to assemble this thing quickly…

Based on the weight of these parts, he estimated that the compound bow weighed approximately 35 to 40 pounds.

In other words, the user needs at least 35 kilograms of pulling force and arm strength to pull it.

To shoot accurately and with complete freedom, you need at least 50 pounds of pulling force...

Ordinary people basically cannot achieve this…

However, this was not a problem for Ye Feng, who weighed 160 pounds and was a seasoned compound bow user...

His biggest concern right now is that this compound bow seems to have many more parts than any bow he's handled before…

He stared at the dozens of screws and parts, lost in thought…

Ye Feng stroked his chin, carefully recalling the compound bow assembly tutorial in his mind…

He had done compound bow assembly before, but that was a long time ago…

I haven't touched this thing since graduation; I've been busy running around looking for a job...

But Ye Feng's greatest strength is his exceptional memory.

A few minutes later, he began his operation…

First, he picked up the figure-eight bow stand, fixed the bow handle in it, and then stood the entire bow upright...

Next came installing the bow limbs, arrow rest, shock absorber, eccentric wheel...

He methodically screwed each screw into the nut one by one...

His serious expression made Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie look equally focused, even forgetting to drink the bone broth...

Time ticked by, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye…

Looking at the completed compound bow, Qi Xiaojie was filled with admiration and quietly asked Fu Changxiong:

"Brother Xiong, Brother Feng... Brother Feng... how... how come he... knows everything? He... he... knows how to do such complicated things!?"

Fu Changxiong smiled smugly…

"That was... my brother dared to snatch a backpack from an alligator's mouth on his very first day, and scared away a jaguar with just an axe."

"Could that be an ordinary person? You should learn from that..."

"Whoosh~"

During their conversation, Ye Feng suddenly exclaimed in surprise…

When they came to their senses, their eyes lit up as they looked at the brand-new compound bow…

The dark, arched shape gleamed in the sunlight; it was absolutely stunning…

Fu Changxiong reached out and touched it…

"Wow, is that all?"

Ye Feng wiped the sweat from his face and smiled confidently…

"It took a bit too long. Before, it would have been done in ten minutes..."

Qi Xiaojie curiously tugged at the bowstring, but found it difficult to pull it open...

He was a child who grew up in an orphanage, but had never encountered such a toy before, and asked in confusion:

"Feng... Brother Feng, why... why is this string... so tight?"

"Of course it's tight. This is a 40-pound compound bow, so it needs to be pulled at least 50 kilograms..."

Don't even mention you, even some experienced archers can't pull the bow without a certain level of strength..."

"Then...then...can it kill...a crocodile?"

"cut…"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow dismissively and immediately pulled out the arrow with a square arrowhead from the quiver…

It stood before the two of them...

"If this bow is drawn taut, and paired with this arrow, let alone a black caiman, even a Nile crocodile would be taken down with a single arrow..."

I dare say that 90% of life on Earth couldn't withstand the power of a compound bow.

Fu Changxiong rubbed his hands together excitedly…

"Then hurry up and demonstrate it for us..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng grabbed the bow and lifted it up...

The 36-pound weight still felt a bit strenuous for him; the heaviest he had ever played with before was 30 pounds…

However, in order to earn money for his grandmother's medical expenses, he took on all manual labor jobs, and his strength level has improved considerably...

Ye Feng inserted the arrow into the quiver, placed it on the main string, and aimed at a small elephant-leg tree 15 meters away…

He then drew the bowstring taut, simultaneously exerting force with his arms and back, the arrow's fletching close to his mouth...

5 seconds later…

"Chirp!"

A distinct whooshing sound rang out as the arrow shot out at lightning speed, instantly embedding itself in the tree trunk…

"pretty!"

Fu Changxiong exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to check...

Upon arrival, they discovered that most of the arrow shafts had pierced through the tree trunks, leaving only the fletchings visible…

You know, this is a tree as thick as a bowl, like an elephant's leg...

A cold smile curled at the corner of Ye Feng's lips as he recalled the wild boar king...
