Chapter 94: Shotguns for Cannons

After a morning of training, I was able to predict 70 percent of the attacks and the blocking rate was 50 percent.

"Take a break, you're making rapid progress. Ye Beichen said.

"I'm fine, I can continue. I said with some excitement.

"Perception of this thing is estimated to have been obtained in the dungeon, and we don't know if overuse will have any side effects on you. Ye Beichen said.

"If you're thoughtful, then we'll take a look at it. I said.

"Well, let's go and modify the weapon. Ye Beichen said.

When the two of us returned to the camp, everyone was ready, but we had limited tools, and we had to rely on stone to open a blood groove for the dagger.

Fortunately, there was a rough and unusually hard stone in this place, so we picked out a few suitable shapes and squatted on the edge of the waterhole to start our dagger transformation project.

"Let's grind first, you and I will do it. Ye Beichen said to me.

"Let's work hard, don't worry, we're not in a hurry, I'll come when I go. I said to the people.

At this time, the black face also came back with a wild boar in his mouth, but this guy rarely makes love to me these days, and I simply don't care about it, anyway, there is no danger at the moment, so it's good to let it be free.

Although Blackface is now in the wild, he still remembers this family and the diet of our group, so I don't have to worry about it.

followed Ye Beichen to a small forest, said it was a forest, the sapling was about the same, the tree was not as thick as my arm, but it was very straight.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, confused.

"Look at these trees. Ye Beichen said.

"It's all little saplings, what's so nice about it. I said with a smile.

"Sapling, you can try a few cuts. Ye Beichen said.

I didn't think about anything, I drew the knife and cut it, it stands to reason that as soon as my treasure knife came out of the sheath, the small sapling in front of me would definitely break, but I didn't cut it with this knife, and the blade only sank into the tree body by a maximum of two centimeters.

"Holy, what kind of tree is this, so hard. I said in surprise.

"This is not a small sapling, I have been in contact with some local tribes when I was on a mission outside my country, and I have long seen this tree as familiar. Ye Beichen said.

"What mission tribe has, and what does it have to do with this tree?" I asked.

"The local tribe uses this tree to make bows, which are powerful and durable. Ye Beichen said with a smile.

Hearing him say this, I took a closer look at the tree in front of me, and stepped forward and pulled hard a few times.

"I didn't expect this tree to be not only hard, but also so tough, this is definitely the best material for making bows. I said with a smile.

"Can I take a look at your bow?" Ye Beichen said.

"Yes, take it. I simply took the bow and handed it over.

Ye Beichen first held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and then held the bow in his left hand and pulled the string with his right hand, thinking that John couldn't pull it at the beginning.

Ye Beichen's body shape is not very strong, I was about to say a few words of pride, but I didn't expect the bowstring to slowly move back with Ye Beichen's right hand.

He was only halfway apart, but it was enough to shock me.

"This dungeon is really magical, I used ten percent of my strength, but I could only pull it apart halfway. Ye Beichen said and handed me back the bow.

"How did you do that? John couldn't pull it away. I asked, puzzled.

"The use of strength is about size, but it's not quite. Ye Beichen said.

I wanted to say something more, Ye Beichen then asked, "Where did you learn the art of making bows?"

"Oh, I was taught by my adoptive father, who was a well-known carpenter in the village, and was particularly good at bamboo. I said.

"I'll leave the matter of making a bow to you. Ye Beichen said.

"Leave it to me, and I'll make you a good bow. I said with a smile.

"But your strength is really great, and the poundage of your bow is not suitable for me, so I have to lose at least half. Ye Beichen said.

"Pounds?" I asked, confused.

"It's the power you need to open a bow. Ye Beichen said.

"Oh oh, that's what it says. I said with a smile.

"Then let's do it. Ye Beichen said, took off the axe and began to cut down the tree.

"Are you all right? or I'd better do the physical work?" I asked.

"It's okay, I've recovered, what I need most now is exercise. Ye Beichen said while chopping.

In that case, then I have nothing to worry about, so I picked up my axe and cut down the tree in front of me.

It's getting dark, and the two of us have cut down more than a dozen, this tree is really hard, and it seems that this axe will have to be sharpened tomorrow.

After a short break for dinner, we went back to training, as usual it was the four of us men, and we brought two lesbians, today it was Luna and Jones.

In order to better regulate our body functions, we did not train all night, but changed the time to 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.

When we woke up the next day, Ye Beichen and I went to cut down trees as usual, everyone was still sharpening their knives, and at noon some of our materials had been almost ready, and now we were going to start building real bows and arrows.

"I had seen them make bows in the tribe at the time, and combined with your skills, I can give you some advice. Ye Beichen said.

"Well, I'm really not very happy with my bamboo bow. I said with a smile.

"Let's get started. Ye Beichen said and sat down.

The next step is more cumbersome and time-consuming, because the wood is very hard and our tools are not so handy, so it takes a lot of time just to plasticize.

The daily life has become regular because of this, training at night, making bows during the day, and the swords sharpened by the women have been completed, and now they make bows and arrows, and the four of us men focus on the bows.

According to the strength of each person, we constantly adjust the weight of the bow, and this time the bow can be said to be carefully tailored for everyone.

Even in terms of shape and grip comfort, we have made some upgrades, and I believe that after completion, it will no longer be the same shoddy and inferior product that looked rough before.

At Ye Beichen's suggestion, the women also upgraded the quiver, in the past, in order to save trouble, the quiver was actually a bamboo tube, which not only occupied the space, but also awkward to carry.

Now the women use cowhide to recreate the quiver, not only can be designed according to each person's body shape, but also the cowhide shoulder strap can also be adjusted in length, which is much better than the rope shoulder strap of the bamboo quiver before.

The main thing is that it is much more comfortable to carry.

Inspired by quivers, the women also made cowhide scabbards for our daggers, so that the daggers could be tied directly to the thighs and more easily accessed.

More than two months passed unconsciously, and the old man said that sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and this is what we are doing now.

Needless to say, the four of us men are naturally getting tighter and tighter, and now our whole team looks completely different.

"Alright, it should be done today. Ye Beichen looked at his bow and said.

"Mine is pretty much the same. I said, looking at my new bow.

"It always feels like something is missing. John said, looking at his bow.

"There's one final process. Ye Beichen said.

"What process?" asked everyone in unison.

"We have limited conditions now, but we are also using methods to strengthen the bow. Ye Beichen said.

"Don't sell it, hurry up. I said.

After getting along for a long time, we have no estrangement at all, and there is naturally no restraint when we speak.

"Applying animal oil evenly to the bow body can strengthen the toughness, not only waterproof, but also prevent cracking and prolong the life of the bow. Ye Beichen said.

"The main thing is that the color of the bow will also become more beautiful. Ye Beichen continued.

"Hurry up. I said and stood up to get the animal oil.

Fortunately, I already had this thing in store before, and I put it in a bamboo tube.

"How?" John couldn't wait.

The women also had a bow in their hands, waiting for the answer.

"Slowly and evenly apply it to every part of the bow with your hands, wait for the animal oil to soak in some of it, and then polish it with deerskin. Ye Beichen said.

Now everyone has something to do again.
