In the afternoon, Lan Xue took Ye Xiao out hunting again.

said that it was hunting, but in fact, Lan Xue wanted to go outside to play, but she was afraid that Ye Xiao would not agree, so when she went to the cave to get pieces of meat to feed Rhubarb and Erhuang, she saw that there was not much food inside, and then she proposed to go out hunting.

Ye Xiao thought about it and agreed, this is just a matter of killing three birds with one stone, not only to get some food, but also to meet Lan Xue's requirements, and to try the bow and crossbow he just made, why not!

So Ye Xiao went out with the big Liu, Pan Zi and Lan Xue, this time they didn't bring automatic rifles and sniper rifles, but took homemade bows and spears, but just in case, Ye Xiao still let the big Liu and Pan Zi bring pistols and sabers, and they also took a pistol.

The pistol is small in size and easy to carry, Lan Xue didn't notice that Ye Xiao and they also brought this kind of small weapon, but it was a little strange to see that they were all holding spears.

Because in the past, every time Ye Xiao and the others went out hunting, they always carried that kind of black weapon that was extremely powerful and could make a loud noise, but this time they didn't see it.

However, when she saw the bow and crossbow in Ye Xiao's hand, she suddenly remembered that Ye Xiao had mentioned to her before, saying that she wanted to make a weapon that could fire arrows, but what exactly is an "arrow"? Lan Xue didn't have a concept, and Ye Xiao didn't tell her, she just said that she would know when she made it.

Although she hadn't seen the bow and crossbow that Ye Xiao said, she could guess that the spear in Ye Xiao's hand was definitely not the crossbow he said, so the only answer was the weapon that Ye Xiao was holding in his other hand.

"Brother Ye, is this what kind of bow and crossbow you are talking about?" Lan Xue pointed to the bow and crossbow in Ye Xiao's hand and said, her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Well, I just did it two days ago, and this time I just went out to experiment about the effect." Ye Xiao smiled and nodded.

"Can you show me?" Lan Xue asked expectantly.

"Yes, yes." Ye Xiao handed the crossbow to Lan Xue.

"Thank you, Brother Ye." Lan Xue happily took the crossbow and looked left and right, and fiddled with it curiously.

The base and grip of this bow are made of hard wood, the bow is made of long, straight branches that are hard and slightly elastic, and the bowstring is made of tendons called drakemon, which are very tough and elastic.

For this bowstring, Ye Xiao searched for a long time but did not find a suitable material, and later it was Lan Xue who helped him a lot.

When Ye Xiao mentioned this matter to her, he said that he lacked a key thing to make a bow and crossbow: a bowstring.

After Lan Xue learned all the characteristics of this kind of thing that Ye Xiao needed, she thought that there was a dragon beast tendon in their tribe that met the conditions, although this kind of tendon was not very common in her tribe, but there were quite a few of them, and because of their toughness and elasticity, they were used as ropes by the people of their tribe.

Lan Xue returned to the tribe, and when he came again, he brought him dozens of tendons of this dragon beast.

Ye Xiao and several brothers spent half a month to build a total of nine bows and crossbows, and also made hundreds of crossbow arrows with a very hard wooden thorn.

However, the beasts here are all rough-skinned and thick-fleshed, and ordinary crossbow arrows must not cause much damage, so a unique anesthetic is applied to the arrowheads, according to Lan Xue, if the amount is enough, it will not be a problem to numb a long-haired beast.

This anesthetic is a black viscous liquid secreted by the trunk of what they call the Borneo tree, and when Lan Xue took this anesthetic to Ye Xiao, he thought of the black tip of the spear that Lan Xue was carrying, which should have been smeared with this black liquid.

Ye Xiao asked the ghost doctor to study this anesthetic carefully, and during the experiment, he also experimented with rhubarb and erhuang, and the ghost doctor only used a few milliliters of rhubarb and erhuang, and then they were confused, and finally they came to the conclusion that this is a pure natural anesthetic that is dozens of times more effective than the anesthetic used in modern medicine.

The bow and crossbow in Lan Xue's hand is a strengthened version, which can fire three crossbow arrows at the same time, and the big Liu and Pan Zi are holding the normal version, which can only fire one crossbow arrow at a time.

"Brother Ye, how do you use this thing?"

Lan Xue fiddled with the bow and crossbow for a long time, and didn't know how to use it, and was a little annoyed at the moment.

"Hehe, don't worry, let me show you how to use it."

Ye Xiao took the bow and crossbow from Lan Xue's hand, took out a crossbow arrow, put it into the arrow slot, and pulled the bowstring to get stuck in the groove where the crossbow body was activated.

"Look!"

Ye Xiao held the bow and crossbow in one hand and aimed it at a big tree not far away, and pulled the trigger with his index finger.

"Huh"

The bolt flew out and hit the trunk of the tree with precision.

All this happened in an instant, and before Lan Xue could see what was going on, the crossbow bolt had already appeared on the trunk of the tree.

Ye Xiao stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pulled out the crossbow arrow, the arrow of the crossbow arrow was about three centimeters into the trunk of the tree, and after pulling out the crossbow arrow, the trunk also had a hole as thick as a small thumb.

Ye Xiao looked at this tree hole, shook his head slightly, a little dissatisfied, the elasticity of the bowstring is enough, but the crossbow arrow is not good, not sharp enough, if the arrow is made of steel, the lethality is estimated to be several times stronger than this.

Luckily, the arrows are coated with a powerful anesthetic, and they only need to pierce the skin of the beasts to get the anesthetic into their bloodstream.

"Brother Ye, this is really amazing, can you let me try it?"

Lan Xue looked at the hole in the trunk of the tree in surprise, as if she couldn't believe that such a small crossbow arrow could actually pierce a hole in the hard trunk.

"Okay, come, I'll teach you how to use it, you should ...... like this first"

Ye Xiao taught her how to load arrows, how to aim, and how to shoot, I have to say that Lan Xue is very smart and quickly mastered the essentials of shooting.

"Give it a try."

Ye Xiao saw that she had almost mastered it, so he let her try it herself.

Lan Xue followed the essentials of the movements that Ye Xiao taught her, held the crossbow in both hands, aimed it at the tree trunk, and pulled the trigger.

"Huh"

The bolt flew quickly, but instead of hitting the trunk of the tree, it passed past the edge.

"Ahh How so? ”

Lan Xue was originally full of confidence, but she didn't expect to miss it, and her little face was a little annoyed.

"Hehe, don't worry, this can't be learned overnight, just wait until you go back and practice more."

Ye Xiao comforted him, Lan Xue missed the shot, which was what he expected, don't look at this kind of bow and crossbow is easy to operate, but it is not so easy to shoot at the target from twenty or thirty meters away.

This is the same as shooting a gun, the bullet flies out of the chamber of the gun at a distance, due to the influence of wind speed and gravity, the trajectory will become an arc, in addition to the wind speed and gravity, there are various other factors, in short, it takes a lot of practice and accumulation of experience.

Although the range of the crossbow arrow is not as far as that of the bullet, because the crossbow arrow has a certain length, it is also heavily affected by gravity and wind speed, and the cold wind has been blowing here, it is easy to blow the crossbow arrow off track.

Ye Xiao has tried the extreme range of this crossbow arrow, and when there is no wind, it can reach 100 meters, but when it reaches 100 meters, there is no penetrating power.

"Hmm."

Hearing Ye Xiao's comfort, Lan Xue nodded, in fact, Lan Xue is a person who easily refuses to admit defeat, and her temperament is a little strong, from the fact that she dared to disobey her father's orders and secretly ran out of the tribe.

"Let's go, it's getting late, we need to feel like we'll be back before dark."

Ye Xiao saw that they hadn't gone far and had already delayed a lot of time, so he reminded them.

This time the place they went to was still that valley, although Ye Xiao and they had hunted there several times, but all kinds of beasts still passed by in an endless stream.

Ye Xiao: The area of the basin where they are located is actually quite large, the place where their camp is located is close to the valley, and the other side of the basin is hundreds of miles away from them, and this valley is the only exit from this side, and the terrain is very conducive to ambush hunting.

They came to the slope of the hill where they had been several times before the valley, and lay on the top of the hill and waited quietly for the arrival of their prey.

They waited for nearly an hour, and they didn't see any beasts passing by, but whether it was Ye Xiao or Lan Xue, they were all very patient.

Lan Xue followed the tribesmen to hunt, knowing that a good hunter needs to have enough patience the most, not to mention Ye Xiao, they don't know how many assassination missions they have carried out, especially Ye Xiao is a sniper, lurking in one place, and it is no problem to wait motionless for a day.

After a while, there was a "creaking, creaking" sound of feet stepping on snowflakes, accompanied by a thick panting sound.

"Boss, there's prey coming." Pan Zi was the first to observe the situation and whispered.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for several huge beasts to come over leisurely, this beast is a bit similar to the wild boar on the earth, covered with thick black hair, with a relatively long mouth, and two long fangs at the corners of the mouth, two large and one small, this should be a family.

"Boss, do you want to do it?" The big Liu was holding a bow and crossbow, a little excited.

"!"

This is the first time they have not used a gun to hunt, and the power of crossbow arrows can be tested.

"Listen to me!"

Ye Xiao and the three of them raised their bows and crossbows and aimed them at one of the wild boars.

"One, two, three, shoot!"

"Boom, boom, boom"

Three crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, and before the boar could react, it was shot by three crossbow arrows in the neck.

"Ang ......"

The wild boar was in pain and screamed, so frightened that the other two wild boars ran away, and the wild boar that was shot struggled to run not far before collapsing.

"Good boy, this thing is much better than a gun, such a big guy, it won't take long to fall."

The big Liu originally wanted to make up for a few arrows, but found that before they could make a move, the wild boar had already fallen, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, big Liu, you're wrong, it should be said that this anesthetic is too strong!"

Ye Xiao was also in a good mood, laughed, put away his bow and crossbow, and walked towards the fallen wild boar.
