Chapter 95: To the Desert
Sure enough, as Ye Beichen said, after this process, the color of the bow began to change, the original pure wood white, now it has become a little brown and yellow, and it is shiny, like wax.
"I just said it's almost something, it looks so beautiful now. John said.
"This process will be repeated several times, and then everyone will take the previous bow first, and I will teach everyone rapid fire. Ye Beichen said.
"I've wanted to learn this for a long time. I stood up and said.
"Then let's get straight to it. Ye Beichen said.
Everyone picked up their previous broken bows and stood in front of Ye Beichen in an orderly manner, for this period of time, Ye Beichen was not only our partner, but also our instructor.
"I also said before that everything is inseparable, and rapid fire is actually the same, taking the shortest distance to take arrows, building a bow, and archery, in fact, this also requires long-term practice, finding a posture and position that suits you, and forming muscle memory with a bow and arrows. Ye Beichen said and began to demonstrate.
Everyone listened very carefully, because what they had learned from Ye Beichen in the past few days was indeed very useful, and it was obvious that everyone was learning to compare and compare.
"You can even grab two or three arrows at a time, and you can fire a single rapid-fire shot or multiple arrows in unison. Ye Beichen said and began to demonstrate.
"Okay, well, so that you are not afraid of too many enemies. I said excitedly.
The next thing is to practice, in order to save resources, we practice using some arrow feathers without deep processing, that is, without arrows, and use them repeatedly until they are completely scrapped.
Unconsciously, we have been in this place for more than three months, and if we want to say that we survived by luck, now we rely on strength.
Not to mention a few of our men, even the current skills of all the women, pick out one at random, I'm afraid that six or seven ordinary men will be difficult to get close.
"Try our new bow. Ye Beichen said.
After a long period of repeated immersion in oil, the color of the bow body has changed to dark brown, and it feels different when you hold it in your hand.
I couldn't wait to shoot an arrow at the trees in the distance, and the feathers of the arrow even made a sound that pierced the air, and the body of the arrow sank directly into the trunk of a man's thick.
"Damn, is this so powerful?" I blurted out.
Seeing this, everyone also opened their bows and arrows, although it could not have the power of mine, but whether it was accuracy or lethality, it was enough.
Especially Ye Beichen, although his bow is only half the weight of mine, the power in his hands is exerted to the extreme.
Let's put it this way, if I were to shoot him with a bow, I would definitely be the one who died.
"I think we can go, and there are fewer and fewer wild boars coming back from the blackface hunt in the past two days. I said to the crowd.
"Yes, while we still have food in stock. Ye Beichen was in line with the Tao.
"Why don't we stay a little longer. Xia He said.
"Didn't you hear what Qingyang said?The prey is getting less and less, what will we eat if we stay longer?" Xia Yun said to Xia He.
"If you have any opinions, you can mention them now, and if you have no opinions, we will leave tomorrow morning. I said to the crowd.
"I'm still a little worried," Ling Han said.
I knew what she was worried about, but if I stayed here any longer, I was afraid that we would become old captains, and that we would be too comfortable for people to be aggressive.
Even if there are fewer and fewer prey, it is just a scene where I colluded with Blackface and played a scene.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we will never see hope until we go out, do you really want to be here all the time?" I said, looking at the women.
"Okay, tell me before dark, if not, leave on time at dawn. After saying that, I walked away without looking back.
I came to a coconut tree, raised my bow and shot a coconut, and just sat down to enjoy it, I heard footsteps.
"Actually, it's normal for everyone to be worried, it's not that they don't believe you. Qiu Xue said and appeared in front of me.
"I know that everyone has always trusted me, and today I am doing this to force them, otherwise we will never be able to get out. I said.
Qiu Xue didn't speak, smiled and sat down next to me.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked.
"Blackface hunting, you did it, right?" Qiu Xue said with a smile.
With a panicked look on my face, Qiu Xue continued: "Don't worry, I won't tell them, I know that you are for everyone's good, we are too comfortable here, and after a long time, we will become old captains." ”
Damn, does this girl know how to read minds, she knows everything I think.
"You're the roundworm in my stomach, aren't you?" I asked.
"Nasty, you're the worm. Qiu Xue said and slapped me gently.
"Actually, everyone is not stupid, everyone can more or less guess some of your intentions, after being together for so long, we still don't know you?" Qiu Xue continued.
"Aren't you afraid?" I asked.
"What are you afraid of?" Qiu Xue asked puzzled.
"I'm afraid that the environment on the other side of the desert is worse, and I'm afraid that there will be nothing after the desert. I said.
"At the beginning, we lived on the verge of despair, and it was you who led us out step by step, afraid, of course afraid, but the most terrible thing was not fear, but that there was no chance to be afraid. Qiu Xue said.
"You always see things so thoroughly. I said.
"It's all for you. Qiu Xue said with a smile.
"I didn't teach you that. I said with a smile.
"Yes, your mentality, no matter what happens, you never give up hope, don't you know? It is your mentality that supports everyone along the way. Qiu Xue said.
"How do I feel like you have something to say. I said with a smile.
"Actually, I want to say that as long as you don't give up, we won't give up. Qiu Xue looked at me very seriously and said.
"I said I would take you alive. I said as I slowly approached the autumn snow.
"Then I'm relieved. After Qiu Xue finished speaking, she got up and ran away as soon as she slipped through the smoke.
Halfway through the run, he turned around and grimaced at me, hey... It looks like I've never had a chance to vent this evil fire in my life.
I closed my eyes, drank coconut water, and leaned against the coconut tree, the breeze blowing, and the shade of the tree just blocked the sun above my head.
Everything is actually very beautiful, but I always think of those female warriors in my mind, and even these nights are mostly those female warriors in my dreams, and the frequency is getting higher and higher.
Something seems to be calling me in the distance, waiting for me, I must get on the road, I must get out of here, the distance is my way back.
Thankfully, until I fell asleep, no one came to raise objections to leaving, and that night, I had no nightmares.
The next morning, everyone consciously began to pack their bags, everything was ready, and I watched the crowd say that sentence again.
"Let's go. ”
In fact, the desert road is much easier to walk than the snowy mountains, and the temperature in the location we were in before was not low, and we have adapted to the heat after a long stay.
This time, I don't need a black face to lead the way, because the river runs through the desert, which is the biggest reason why I dared to cross the desert resolutely.
As long as there is water, we will not die of thirst in the desert, and we will not lose our way along the river.
I don't want to delve into why the rivers in this desert haven't dried up, because things on this island don't have logic.
But from the moment we entered the forest, there were no monsters on the other side of the river, and I even suspected that we were out of the category of monsters.
After a long time, I realized that I was thinking too simply.
After walking along the river for a long time, some plants began to appear on both sides of the river, but fortunately, the plants in this desert were not so strange, nothing more than cacti and some dead trees, but the size of this cactus was large enough, as tall as two people.
The river is located at a higher level than the surrounding desert, and while it is difficult to explain why the river has not dried up, the most important thing is that we have water to drink.
"It's hot, let's stop and rest. Xia He said.
"Haven't found a good place to spend the night yet, hold on a little longer. I said.
"Can I walk in the water, then? Xia He said.
"Whatever you want. I said as I walked forward.
Why didn't we ride animals? Because the situation in the desert is not clear yet, we have to conserve the animals' strength, and if they are in any danger, they can escape.
Seeing that Xia He was about to enter the water, and even several girls followed, Ye Beichen opened his mouth to stop them.
"You'd better not go into the water. Ye Beichen said.
