More than an hour later, he successfully made 20 arrow tails…
The others, panting and out of breath, came to report back to him...
Qi Xiaoyan and Qi Xiaojie each held a handful of pine resin and placed it in front of Ye Feng…
"Brother Feng, is this enough? We've searched almost the entire area around here."
Ye Feng glanced at it briefly and nodded…
"Hmm, that should be enough."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Sisi and Fu Changxiong walked in from outside...
They placed a small pile of pine needles, tower pines, and about ten sticks of the same length and thickness on the ground…
"Brother, is this enough?"
"Brother Feng, there are still many pine cones. If it's not enough, I'll go pick more."
Ye Feng smiled and waved his hand...
"No need, these are more than enough. We don't need too many torches, five or six will suffice."
Now, cut the top of these sticks into a cross shape, about ten centimeters long, and then stuff the pine cones inside.
Finally, wrap it with strips of cloth. After you're done, you can rest.
Upon hearing this, the group was somewhat perplexed… Liu Sisi asked:
"Brother Feng, where are we going to find strips of cloth?"
Ye Feng glanced at her…
"You think I collect those dead people's clothes just to wear?"
"oh!…"
Liu Sisi suddenly realized that clothes are made of fabric.
"I understand..."
After saying that, the group got back to work...
Ye Feng poured all the pine resin into a ceramic pot and placed it directly on the fire to boil.
While he was at it, he polished the tree branch he was using to make arrows and sawed the end with the arrowhead into a smooth, neat cut.
When it was finished, a fragrant aroma of oil wafted out of the jar…
Upon closer inspection, the resin had completely melted and was bubbling incessantly…
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly called Qi Xiaoyan for help and asked her to stand up the wooden sticks used to make arrows.
He picked up a long, thin piece of wood with his right hand and an arrow with his left.
Apply a little pine resin to the small piece of wood and spread it evenly on the bottom of the arrow.
Then he applied some more paint to the top of the stick, and after that, he simply covered the arrowhead with it.
I started blowing on it continuously, and after about a minute... the resin completely cooled and solidified.
One arrow, and it was done…
"Wow, Brother Feng, you're really something. This is the first time I've ever seen this method."
Qi Xiaoyan praised...
Ye Feng shook the arrow forcefully, then checked it again…
The arrow didn't move at all, which means it really worked...
"There's no other way, the conditions are limited, it's already quite an achievement that we were able to make it at all..."
But whether it will work or not, we'll have to try to find out…
Having said that, he took the composite bow and the original arrow, and walked out of the house…
Seeing this, everyone stopped working and followed them out; they all wanted to witness this moment.
After all, this arrow represented the culmination of their two days of hard work…
At the same time, it also embodied their confidence in their future survival. They even sacrificed nine knives…
Ye Feng understood their thoughts and said nothing. He directly aimed at a pine tree 15 meters away and shot an arrow with his original arrow.
The situation was similar to the last arrow test; most of the arrow shaft was embedded in the tree trunk, leaving only the blue tail.
Then, with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, he attached the homemade arrowheads.
"You absolutely have to succeed..."
He kept repeating to himself that if he failed, it would not only be a blow to others, but he himself would probably break down completely...
After thinking for a moment, he slowly drew back the bowstring and aimed at the heart of the tree…
Everyone stared intently, their hearts pounding in their chests…
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, five seconds later, the arrow vanished from the bowstring...
"call out!"
The same sharp whistling sound rang out as the arrow, like a shooting star, carrying everyone's hopes, pierced straight into the tree trunk...
Although it didn't penetrate as deeply as the original arrow, the shaft was still about halfway in...
A moment of silence fell over the room, but just two seconds later…
A burst of cheers erupted...
"Ah! We did it! We did it!"
"Brother Feng! I knew you could do it! You're amazing!"
"We...really...made...arrows!"
Liu Sisi excitedly hugged Ye Feng, jumping and skipping, while Qi Xiaoyan clapped her hands repeatedly...
Everyone was very excited, and Ye Feng laughed heartily...
He knew that this arrow had not only pierced the tree trunk, but also shattered their fear of this primeval forest.
A group of young people, sticking together for warmth, relied on their wisdom and hard work, shedding countless drops of sweat...
The sense of accomplishment from finally creating a weapon that terrifies all animals is irreplaceable…
After a moment of joy, Ye Feng's smile faded...
"Alright, now that everything is a success, it's time to unleash its power."
"Everyone, hurry up and get to work. Finish making the rest of the arrows, and I'll be able to feed you some game soon."
"good!"
Everyone nodded loudly in agreement, and this arrow undoubtedly boosted the morale of the entire team.
They worked even harder, and in less than an hour, all 52 arrows were finished...
After finishing, Ye Feng added some lard to the remaining resin.
Both are flammable, so the fire will be larger.
After finishing all the work, Ye Feng asked everyone to start packing up.
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi couldn't wait to ask:
"Brother Feng, are we going to kill wild boars now?"
Ye Feng calmly loaded the arrows into the quiver, smiling and shaking his head...
"You've been to the mountaintop before, with mountains upon mountains, and large areas of vegetation and dense forests providing cover."
Finding a herd of wild boars among them is no easy feat.
Liu Sisi asked, puzzled…
"So where are we going?"
"snort…"
Ye Feng asked jokingly:
"Haven't you read a lot of books? Why don't you guess..."
Liu Sisi pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out Ye Feng's thoughts...
"I can't guess... Oh, stop keeping me in suspense..."
Ye Feng stopped what he was doing…
"Instead of looking for wild boars, we should let them come to us."
Don't forget, our goal this time is to wipe them all out.
So… what do we need to prepare to get them all to show themselves so we can shoot them down?
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaoyan raised their eyebrows and said in unison:
"A decoy!?"
"That's right."
Ye Feng nodded…
"Wild boars, except when they are sleeping, spend most of their time looking for food."
They have a fast digestive system and a large appetite, so... as soon as they smell food, they will automatically come to them.
What we're lacking right now is bait…
