Bows and arrows have advantages and disadvantages compared to stones.

For example, stones can be found everywhere and can be used at any time, while bows and arrows need to be made through a series of procedures, the damage rate of arrows is relatively high, and archery skills are more difficult to master than stone-throwing skills......

In the future, stones will quickly be withdrawn from the ranks of weapons, and bows and arrows will become popular until firearms are mass-deployed.

Su Yan thought about it carefully, and finally decided to give up the use of bows and arrows, the most important reason is that the current conditions of the snake tribe cannot make standardized bows and arrows, but simple bows and arrows can be made, but the shooting accuracy of such non-standard bows and arrows is more difficult to master, unless it is a large-scale equipment of bows and arrows to win by quantity, which is obviously unrealistic.

Putting aside the idea of bows and arrows for the time being, at present, stones cannot be replaced as medium and long-range weapons in the snake tribe, but Su Yan thought of another medium- and long-range weapons that are different from the way stones are damaged-short spears.

The stone spear (spear) is one of the main weapons of the crew of the hunting party, most of the time it is used as a melee weapon, and when necessary, it will also be thrown out as a medium and short-range weapon, but there is no weapon in the hand after the stone spear is thrown, so the stone spear is used as a melee weapon most of the time.

A relatively long and slightly heavier stone spear, the short spear is simply a wooden stick sharpened at one end, and the short spear is specifically designed for throwing, not as a melee weapon.

Perhaps the ancestors of the snake tribe also used (throwing) short spears as hunting weapons, but because the sharpened parts of the thrown short spears were easily damaged, and it was not practical to add a sharp stone to the short spear, they finally abandoned the use of short spears, and only stones were left for throwing weapons.

The technique of throwing a short spear is much easier to master than that of throwing stones, but its high attrition rate makes it temporarily unusable as a hunting weapon.

In Su Yan's heart, taking out the short spear again was not used as a hunting weapon, but to guard against other primitive tribes.

Not only short spears, but also stones of the right size, both of which have to be stockpiled in large quantities in the Snake Tribe's habitat.

No one knows when other primitive tribes will attack the snake tribe, and the snake tribe already has a wall that can resist the invasion of wild beasts, but humans can still think of a way to cross the wall.

In the event of an attack by other primitive tribes, the people of the Snake Tribe could stand behind the wall with short spears and stones and throw them at the enemy, and in their free time, they would also practice throwing stones and short spears.

Rattan plaques, short spears, and stones, Su Yan focused on their paintings.

Rattan cards aside, short spears and stone reserves are both items that can be carried out.

Hunting and fishing teams can stop by when they return to the tribe outside, and sharpen their spears from dinner to bedtime.

As the height of the wall increased, the snake tribe became more and more secure, and there was no need for the tribe to leave and return to the cave after dark.

When the wall is completed, it is expected that when the wall is completed, the woods around the wall will be burned, and the snake tribe will live more safely, and there will be no need to block the door with large stones or light a bonfire outside the cave at night.

Su Yan found Wu and the leader, and Su Yan told the two about the reserve stone and the grinding of the short spear, and also told the two of them the reason for the reserve stone and the short spear, and did not borrow the name of God.

Although Su Yan is only a teenager and has not yet reached adulthood, he has the identity of a divine envoy, and he also brings fish cages, brick walls, and pottery to the snake tribe, even if he is not in the name of a god, Wu and the leader will listen carefully to Su Yan's words.

Wu and the leader are both middle-aged, the age of the leader is about thirty years old, and the age of Wu is older.

Su Yan had never encountered a fight between the two tribes, but Wu and the leader had encountered both.

One winter, another tribe suddenly attacked the Snake Tribe, and the Snake tribe resisted and finally repelled the enemy, but the Snake tribe itself lost more than a dozen adult tribesmen, and many were injured, and in serious cases, they became disabled and could no longer go out hunting or fishing.

When the hunting team goes out hunting, they will also encounter the hunting teams of other tribes, and there have been several times when the hunting teams of the snake tribe have clashed with the hunting teams of other tribes because of the prey, and some people have been injured or killed in the conflict.

Surviving in this world, the Snake Tribe must be strictly careful of other primitive tribes, maybe at any time they will become the enemies of the Snake Tribe and launch an attack on the Snake Tribe.

As for Jian and his people, who have been integrated into the Snake Tribe, Jian's tribe is too small, with only a few adults, and such a tribe will not pose much threat to the Snake Tribe.

Wu He only thought about it, and then agreed to Su Yan's proposal, and finally the leader gave the order to the entire tribe, so that when the tribesmen returned from going out, if they found a suitable stone, they would bring it back to the tribe; After dinner, if there is nothing to do, you need to sharpen the spear.

In addition, in ordinary free time, some men and women, all adults have to practice throwing short spears and stones, and minors who are close to adult heights also have to practice throwing short spears and stones.

When the chief's order was given, all the clansmen complied.

In this era, all the tribes need to be tribes to survive on this land, and once they leave the tribe alone, they can't hold out for long.

Ultraman is a member of the tribe, and they need to complete some tasks assigned by the tribe, not to mention that the tasks newly issued by the leader are relatively simple things, and picking up stones is something that they can do, and it doesn't require them to spend too much effort.

So, in the following days, during the day, when the tribesmen returned from going out, many people would hold a stone in their hands, and after returning to the tribe, they could throw it into the pre-designated position.

In the evening, after dinner, if the people had nothing else to do, they would bring sticks, sharpen them into short spears, and put them in the caves.

The stone did not need to be afraid of wind and rain, but the short spear did not, so the sharpened short spear was placed in the cave.

Time passed day by day, the second month of spring ended, and on the fifth day of the third month of spring, the wall was also completed, and when the rainy season came, find a cloudy day and put a few fires outside the wall, and burn a part of the forest to burn out a clearing.

The wall was raised, and the tribe was still firing adobe bricks, because the houses would be built with adobe bricks next.
