Chapter 195: Sharpened Arrow Bamboo
Under the scorching sun, Chen Hu walked on the endless African savannah, and after discovering the two wonderful creatures of the flying dragon lizard and the big-eared fox, the tourists in the live broadcast room were full of expectations for this trip to the Orient.

At this moment, the progress of exploration in the east is close to 30 kilometers, and the remaining 20 kilometers can basically be completed in two or three hours.
It didn't take long for Chen Hu to find a pond with a diameter of about seventy or eighty meters on the horizon, and sure enough, there was a water source in this direction, and of course, there were many wild animals living around the pond, in addition to those herbivorous hoofed animals, there was also a group of baboons.
When Chen Hu got closer and closer, he found that the strongest baboon in the group, that is, the leader, was a little familiar, especially when he saw the other party's domineering mane, which looked a little bald, and immediately understood.
Obviously, these baboons are the group that Chen Hu drove away last time, I didn't expect them to settle in the east, but Chen Hu's appearance shocked those baboons, most of the primates have a strong memory, although it has been seven or eight days, but still remember him.
But I saw that the sentry baboon roared, and all the baboons in the clan exploded when they saw Chen Hu, and the leader of the baboon roared angrily.
"it! The tiger master has met an old enemy!"
"It's clear that these damn baboons are going to do something!"
"Don't be cowardly, don't scare them this time!"
The male tourists in the live broadcast room were all excited, but Chen Hu shook his head, there was no need for him to kill them all, and there was no way to fight last time.
Seeing those baboons roaring, but not approaching, Chen Hu didn't plan to trouble them, and then bypassed the location of the pond and continued to move east.
The tourists in the live broadcast room were a little disappointed when they saw this, obviously these violent guys wanted to see the picture of Chen Hu and the baboon fighting again.
After more than half an hour, Chen Hu explored about five kilometers and found a wide river, which was the Limpo-Po River that flowed from west to east.
Later, Chen Hu came to the river to take a few looks, only to see that the river was still dim, the water was turbulent, and there was almost no change, but under the nourishment of the river, the animals and plants in the east became more and more luxuriant.
Chen Hu continued to walk, and it didn't take long for him to walk into a bush, many small birds flew up the branches from time to time, making a chirping sound, and the tourists in the live broadcast room opened their eyes and began to look for wild animals.
However, before the animal could find it, Chen Hu suddenly stopped and looked at the dense pile of plants in front of him, what kind of plant was it?
But I saw that there was a bunch of finger-thick bamboos growing seven or eight meters away, the bamboo parts of each section were brown, and the bamboo leaves were similar to withered yellow, and the most peculiar thing was that those bamboo leaves, all of which were needle-shaped!
Yes, you read that right! The bamboo leaves, which look like withered bamboos, are all rolled into a needle shape, like sharp teeth, but almost all of them are not tall, basically only about two or three meters high.
When the visitors in the live broadcast room saw this, some people were immediately surprised:
"It's ...... Bamboo? I'm going! There are still bamboos in Africa?"
"It's rare and weird upstairs, not to mention bamboo, it's yellow eel, and Africa has it, so I ask you if you believe it?"
"Although the second floor is correct, the African yellow eel, most of which are black, are already different species in order to adapt to the local environment. ”
"Master Tiger, the appearance of these bamboos looks too strange, what kind of variety is this?"
……
In a barrage, a look of surprise appeared in Chen Hu's eyes, and then he introduced:
"This is the African 'sharpened arrowed bamboo', which is also found in a few areas of our China, but it is already a different species, because Africa is often dry and rainless, and the sharpened arrowhead bamboo has to roll up its leaves, which looks like a needle. ”
"Just like acacia trees, and other tree species, in arid areas, there are also needle-shaped branches and leaves, which is the change of plants in order to adapt to the environment, if the rainfall is abundant, the humidity is suitable, and the sharpened arrow bamboo naturally does not have to converge itself, let alone roll up the leaves to survive. ”
After Chen Hu finished speaking, he came to the bamboo forest, grabbed a slender arrow bamboo like a little finger very carefully, and then folded it hard, but only bent it slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Hu took a deep breath, then suddenly increased his strength, and folded several times in succession, and finally let out a bang!
Syllable!
The arrow bamboo with a thin little finger was immediately broken, and then, Chen Hu took the bamboo and put it in front of him, only to see the arrow bamboo with a gray face on the outside, but the inside of the bamboo trunk was green, and it was solid!
"Sure enough!"
Chen Hu brought a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said:
"As you can see, the inside of this kind of bamboo is solid, and the texture is hard, very tough, and the corrosion resistance is also strong, and many African indigenous tribes often use bows and arrows when they are in conflict, and they are made of this solid arrow. ”
As soon as these words came out, the tourists in the live broadcast room were excited!
"What are you waiting for? My tiger master, hurry up and make bows and arrows!"
"Haha, once you have a bow and arrow, will it be difficult to hunt in the future?"
"Congratulations to the anchor, another weapon material has been discovered!"
……
Hunting, maybe...... Chen Hu smiled, and then began to choose the right bow and arrow materials, arrows are easy to find, basically the arrow bamboo that reaches the thickness of the little finger can be made into arrows.
But the bow body must choose the thickest one, Chen Hu searched in this small bamboo forest, and finally found a two-finger thick arrow bamboo, and then grabbed the bamboo stem with both hands, trying to break it with all his might.
As a result, the bamboo only bent up, but Chen Hu's face was red, and then he had to let go of his hand, and the arrow bamboo immediately rebounded back.
Swish!
The air was making a noise, and you could imagine how tough it was, so Chen Hu had to take out the obsidian dagger, choose a part, and start sawing.
While the Obsidian Dagger is sharp enough, even sharper than most cold weapons, its texture is a bit brittle, making it unsuitable for cutting through materials that are too hard.
Chen Hu could only keep drawing circles on the bamboo stem while protecting the blade, and after ten minutes, the knife edge had been halfway deep, and then folded it hard again.
It almost took a lot of effort, and after a crisp explosion, Chen Hu broke it, and he was so tired that beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
"Take a break and take a breath. ”
Chen Hu gasped for breath, while Hubi and Sister Pingtou were running around and playing with each other, as long as they didn't move their real character, they would follow them.
After resting for a while, Chen Hu cleaned up the branches on the bamboo trunk, and then began to collect bamboo suitable for arrows, basically choosing the thickness of his little finger and breaking it directly.
After about an hour, a two-finger thick arrow material of one meter and five long, and thirty little finger thick, one meter long, the bamboo joints of this kind of bamboo are almost degraded, each section has only a faint trace, once made into a bow and arrow, there will be no air resistance.
When these two materials are close to each other, they can't be made into bows and arrows, bowstrings, feathers, and are all very critical steps, but these things can only wait to return to the camp.
Chen Hu used wild grass to weave a hemp rope, tied up all the bamboos, and then put them behind his back, and then called Hubi and Pingtou Sister, who were spreading wild all over the ground, and one person and two badgers continued to move towards the east.
