Chapter 39: Bet on Your Peaches!

Following

After a day's rest, the hunt continued on the barren steppe.

This time, the hunting team was lucky, not only did they not encounter the giant hyena herd again, but they also harvested a lot of prey.

This made everyone's mood suddenly better.

At the same time, there were also signs of human activity in the direction of the nearby Peach Tribe and Tiger Tribe, indicating that the hunting teams of the two tribes had also reached the barren grassland.

This news made Lin Luo and the newcomers all happy.

After all, they have been looking forward to the peaches of the peach tribe that the veterans have boasted about.

Now, the arrival of the Peach Tribe means that they can finally exchange their prey for peaches with the hunting team of the Peach Tribe.

Not only the newcomers, but also the veterans also reminisced about the deliciousness of peaches, while thinking in their hearts how to exchange more peaches from the peach tribe this year.

In the midst of such anticipation, time passed imperceptibly and quickly.

Since there are a lot of prey hunted and it takes a lot of time to deal with them, Ryuya gave the order to end the hunt early.

By the time they carried their prey to the river and returned to their station with a simple process, the sun had already begun to set in the west.

The team responsible for transporting prey to the tribe also returned to their stations at this time.

"Lin Luo, this is the long bamboo tube you want. ”

The stomach armor did not forget Lin Luo's entrustment last night, and took the long bamboo tube brought back from the tribe and said to Lin Luo.

"Thank you. ”

Taking the bamboo tube handed by the stomach armor, Lin Luo thanked him.

Then, he picked up the bone knife and began to get busy.

The bamboo tube brought back by the stomach armor is more than one meter long, and this length is quite suitable for making bamboo bows.

Therefore, Lin Luo didn't do any more pruning, and directly clenched the bone knife and chopped it twice, splitting out a five-centimeter-wide bamboo strip.

Then, pick up the bamboo strip and use a bone knife to flatten it, and slightly thin the thickness of the bamboo strip.

Finally, the ends of the bamboo strips are narrowed and a circle of grooves is carved to facilitate the fixation of the bowstring in the future.

After doing all this, Lin Luo put down the bone knife, and gradually strengthened the two ends of the bamboo strip with both hands.

Watching the bamboo strips gradually bend and feel the strong elasticity transmitted to his hands, Lin Luo showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Regarding the skills of making bows and arrows, Lin Luo was actually not very clear, these were just what he did according to his own conjectures.

Now it seems to be quite like that.

"Lin Luo, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, Yong leaned over and asked curiously.

The others around him also cast curious glances.

Just now they saw that Lin Luo was splitting and cutting again, and they didn't understand what he was doing for a long time.

"I'm making bows and arrows. ”

Lin Luo replied as he took out a long rattan stick.

This rattan was collected by Yong for him in the morning, and it is not only very tough, but also extremely thin, and it has no problem at all when used to make a bowstring.

"Bow and arrow?

Hearing Lin Luo's answer, Yong became even more curious.

At the same time, everyone else gathered in this direction.

They were still very interested in the strange things that Lin Luo had made.

After all, experimenting with the use of marrywood vine as a spice gave them all a taste they had never tasted before.

However, it seems that the so-called bow and arrow in Lin Luo's hand is not something to eat!

"A weapon used to hunt the red muntjac. ”

After bending the bamboo strips into a bow shape and fixing the rattan tightly in the grooves at both ends, Lin Luo answered Yong's inquiry.

After answering, Lin Luo immediately held the bow in his left hand and pulled the string with his right hand, and put on a standard archery action.

When the string was close to full, he released the string with his right hand.

"Boom~!"

Suddenly, an empty bow sound with a long tail sounded.

Qualified!

Listening to this voice, Lin Luo gave his final evaluation with satisfaction.

Although he didn't know much about the art of making bows and arrows, he was quite familiar with the bows themselves.

Because, when he was in college, in order to chase a girl from an archery club, he joined the club to learn archery for a long time.

Later, the girl didn't catch up, but he practiced a good archery.

Judging from his experience in archery, this simple bow was crudely made with some minor flaws, and the bow body and string were not specially treated, and it would not take long for them to be damaged.

But as far as archery is concerned, it is still relatively qualified, at least it can shoot arrows.

And with his current physical fitness in all aspects, coupled with his previous experience in archery, Lin Luo felt that there was no problem in hunting red muntjac with this bow.

"Is a bamboo stick tied with rattan a weapon?"

While Lin Luo was secretly sure of the bow he made, Feng, who was watching the excitement on the side, pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Can this thing hunt red muntjac?"

Yong was also skeptical.

After speaking, he also took the bamboo bow from Lin Luo's hand, and pulled the bowstring in the same way as Lin Luo.

But I still can't understand how this so-called bow and arrow is going to hunt the red muntjac.

Listening to the questioning of the two, Lin Luo looked at Feng with a smile and said, "Or, let's make a bet?"

"Bet, who is the bet, why hit him?"

Hearing Lin Luo's words, Feng was full of puzzlement.

“......”

Feng's inquiry made Lin Luo suddenly feel speechless.

Well, in this primitive world, gambling probably doesn't exist yet.

Lin Luo could only helplessly explain to Feng: "It's that both of us take out one thing as a bet, and when we go hunting red muntjac for a while, I use a bow and arrow as a weapon, and you use a stone spear as a weapon."

At the end of the day, whoever catches the most red muntjac wins, and the winner gets the full bet. ”

"Okay, what do you say?"

For such a thing as winning or losing, Feng has never been afraid.

What's more, he has always regarded Lin Luo as a competitive opponent, how could he be cowardly in the face of the competition proposed by Lin Luo.

"Bet on your peaches!"

Lin Luo immediately said: "If I win, your peaches will be mine, and if you win, my peaches will be yours." ”

At this moment, Lie had already asked the two veteran team members to carry the prey and trade peaches with the hunting team of the Peach Tribe.

Although the number of peaches exchanged is certainly not too much, it is still no problem for each person to get one.

"Good. ”

Hearing this, Feng nodded again.

"Sounds like a lot of fun, count me in!"

Yong, who was standing on the side, seemed to be very interested in gambling, and immediately spoke up.

And some of them took the initiative to send them to the door!

"Good!"

Lin Luo nodded directly in agreement without thinking about it.

He still remembers the events of last night's dinner.

I made a bet with Feng to teach Feng a lesson, and by the way, I won a peach and brought it back to Gucao to taste.

Now, Jianyong also took the initiative to send it to the door, and Lin Luo simply cleaned it up, letting them know that there was a price to pay for taking advantage.

Originally, when he heard that Yong was going to participate in the bet, Feng's first reaction was to refuse.

After all, Yong is a veteran member of the hunting team, and it is too unfair to compare with them.

But seeing that Lin Luo nodded in agreement, he could only nod his head and refuse to admit it: "Okay." ”

Hearing that both of them agreed, a smile suddenly appeared on Yong's face.

At the same time, I have begun to think in my heart, should I eat the three peaches slowly one a day, or eat them all at night?
