Chapter 41: The Bamboo Forest
The group arrived at Elwe's quarters and stayed with her for a while. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The main thing is that El Wei wants to follow, but the queen doesn't let her, and then makes a fuss for a while.
The beasts on the periphery of the tribe were basically eaten by the fox tribe, so the road was very peaceful, and there were no wild beasts. And with the existence of the electronic scanning eye of rain, all kinds of valuable plants that occasionally appear on the road cannot escape the eyes of everyone.
He didn't rush to collect them, he planned to go deep into the Magic Light Forest for hundreds of miles, and now at most collect some mature seeds.
While Du Ge was busy looking for seasonings, Xin Meng was looking for plants that could be used.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more difficult the road becomes, and in the end it is full of layers of shrubs and a mess of Tengman.
The sun was setting, and after crossing a hill, Du Ge saw a bamboo forest in the col with no edge in sight.
Seeing the bamboo, Du Ge's eyes lit up.
Bamboo is a good thing. It can be used to make furniture, bows and arrows, armor, fibers, paper, and charcoal after firing is also a high-quality adsorption material. Bamboo leaves also have some medicinal properties, and bamboo shoots can also be eaten!
Taking out the parchment, Du Ge estimated the position below, and wrote down the bamboo forest hidden in the mountain col.
Then he excitedly drew his short sword and beckoned everyone into the bamboo forest.
"There are bamboo shoots to eat tonight!"
"What's that?"
“…… You haven't even eaten a bamboo shoot? It's a bamboo shoot. ”
"That thing can still be eaten?!"
Du Ge didn't bother to explain, and took a stick of fox children who had never seen the world into the bamboo forest. At the request of the crowd, the bamboo shoots were dug up.
When night fell, they also camped beside a mountain spring.
Du Ge processed the dug bamboo shoots, and used the dry food and seasonings he brought with him to make tonight's finish.
"It's so crisp~ it's delicious. "I didn't think this would be edible. "How did the Boss find out?" Come and eat it~" ......
The five of them sat around a wooden pot to share dinner, while Watari was chipping bamboo and making a simple kettle. The bamboo knot is originally closed, find a suitable bamboo knot to cut it, and then dig a hole from the bamboo tube, cut a wooden cork and plug it, you can make a kettle.
"Not only can bamboo shoots be eaten, but bamboo is a treasure up and down. ”
Fill the finished kettle with water, and Du Ge will divide one for each person.
"Yummy!"
Scarlet took the bamboo tube, her eyes were cautious, and she couldn't put it down. Not only her, but the other five people are very satisfied with the kettle made by Du Ge.
"It's much easier to make than a skin bladder. Moreover, bamboo containers and furniture are durable, and the shape can be made beautifully. It's a treasure here~"
"I can't imagine you bastard so smart. Scarlet laughed and went to grab Duge's tail, but he avoided it.
"Boss, how did you come up with this?" Mu Xue picked up a piece of bamboo and broke it, trying her flexibility.
"Of course Du Ge is the smartest! I must have thought that you are too stupid!"
It was the rain that spoke, holding one of Du Ge's arms, and looking at Mu Xue very unfriendly.
Mu Xue didn't care about her shoulders, looked at Du Ge again and said, "Boss, can these be used as weapons?" ”
"Yes, soak it in some potions to increase your flexibility and make a good bow, crossbow, or javelin. The strength of the fox clan is too small, the javelin is not suitable, and I am going to make a batch of high-quality bamboo bows. ”
Nowadays, the orcs are not very fond of bows, and they use javelins and slings more. First, the technology is too backward, and the quality of the bows and arrows made is not flattering.
On the other hand, orcs worship the strong very much, and are naturally susceptible to the influence of the strong. As for the orc clan, most of the strong ones come from the main clans such as the tiger clan and the lion clan. They are powerful, and naturally they don't like to use bows, so in the entire orc alliance, bows are not very popular.
For this kind of thinking of the orcs, Watari sneered.
Javelins and slings require strong strength to use, and the powerful races are better to say, they generally use the ability of javelins, and any person can be thrown at a distance of 100 meters.
But those weak races who can't even throw more than ten meters still blindly follow the trend, that's really stupid.
Du Ge chopped down a piece of bamboo again, sat on the ground and sharpened it.
Everyone came up curiously, and they were very curious about what Duge was going to do.
"Boss, you're going to make a bow?"
"That's right~"
Du Ge answered, and his hand didn't stop. A bronze dagger was cut down, and the bamboo was quickly shaped to the shape he wanted.
He fastened two pieces of bamboo, one long and one short, together, and used the hemp rope he carried with him to make strings, and finally went through the process of adjusting the bow. A simple short bow was made by Watariya.
Although the short bow looked exquisite, it was not very interested.
Scarlet and Jiu'er, the two little Lori, both scoffed, were very disdainful, and mocked Duge: "What's the use of such a small bow?"
Du Ge disagreed, and the orcs who didn't like to use bows naturally didn't know the difference between short bows and long bows. He smiled in his heart and thought, "I'll make your eyes pop out in a while!"
Everyone felt bored, so they stopped paying too much attention to Du Ge.
Xin Meng and Xiaoyu sorted out the herbs they guessed during the day, Mu Xue began to make the Wuji Body Training Magic Book that Duge taught him, and Scarlet Jiu'er was bored to catch Duge's tail and play, playing games. Only Yu still stared at Duge with a curious expression.
With a casual throw, Duge shot a night bird chirping in a tree, and the materials for making the tail of the arrow were also in hand.
The tip of the bamboo arrow is sharpened, and then it is roasted with fire, and the end of the arrow is tied with black feathers to carve grooves. One by one, simple bamboo arrows were made by Duge, and finally a quiver was made out of bamboo tubes. After firing a few arrows, adjust the bow again to bring the left and right bow walls to a state of equilibrium. This set of equipment is officially completed.
Du Ge is quite satisfied with his set of bows and arrows, both in terms of quality and appearance. He stood up and beckoned to the people:
"Come on, come here, let you open your eyes~"
Hearing the call of Duge, everyone gathered around curiously.
"What's there to open your eyes to, just such a small bow. Look at Sister Tucker's bow, it's more than three meters long!" Scarlet snorted disdainfully, and Jiu'er also agreed. The corners of Du Ge's mouth twitched, Sister Tucker was the sister who was expensive that day, and she naturally had a lot of exclusive equipment because of her superior strength.
The clansmen specially made a big bow for her, and it seems that although the power of that thing exploded, and the arrows shot out caught up with the ballista, it was a miracle to shoot people within 20 meters!
Xin Meng looked curious, while Yu and Mu Xue looked at him expectantly.
"There are different types of bows, but the main thing is precision. Strength, range, rate of fire, etc. are secondary attributes, and different types of bows have different requirements. ”
With a casual rebuttal, Du Ge took the short sword and handed it to Mu Xue, and instructed: "Go, carve random marks on the bamboo in front of you, ten is good." ”
Mu Xue got the order, took the short sword and carved a few marks on the bamboo forest in front of him, some high and some low, some near and some far. He then withdrew from the crowd at the signal of the song.
Holding a short bow and carrying a quiver at his waist, Watsuge walked to a distance of about 20 meters from the sigil.
Taking out three bamboo arrows and putting them on his shoulders, Du Ge raised his short bow, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I'm optimistic~"
