The mountain seems to have entered the rainy season, and for several days on end, a light rain has been falling incessantly.

The rain affected the hunting activities of the hunters, but fortunately, the use of bows and arrows in the previous days greatly improved the hunting ability of the hunters, and a lot of food was stored.

During this time, many hunters taught themselves the use of bows and arrows, although the archery skills were not as skilled as Hou Yi, and only learned the basic drawing of the bow to aim at the hunters who released the arrows, but still made the results of hunting quite fruitful.

The use of bows and arrows has completely reformed the traditional hunting methods of hunters, in addition to the use of traps, they can only use crowd tactics to drive the prey from one point to another until the prey strays into the ambush circle of the people, such a hunting method is not only time-consuming, but also requires a lot of manpower.

For tribes, manpower is always the most scarce resource.

With bows and arrows, hunters finally don't have to use primitive hunting methods, they can now only need a group of 2-3 people to match, and take a concealed way to crawl close to the prey, and fire bows and arrows from a long distance to attack the unprepared, so that the hunting efficiency has been greatly improved.

What's more, individual excellent hunters can also hunt alone, and sometimes they can even shoot down birds perched on trees, of course, no one can do it yet, that is Hou Yi's exclusive domain.

Big Tooth is one of these excellent hunters, this nickname was given by Qiao Jing, this primitive man has a particularly obvious big tooth, and often likes to show his big teeth and smirk, so he was given this nickname.

In this era, most primitive people did not have names, and only people with special status could get the honor of naming, so Big Tooth happily accepted this title.

At this moment, Big Tooth is in the cave, performing the results of his recent bow and arrow training.

He placed a row of wild fruits on the wall of the cave entrance, and then stood 40 paces away, almost clinging to the inner wall of the cave, then took a deep breath, drew his bow, held his breath, took aim, and released his arrows, and with a whoosh, the wild fruit on the far left shattered.

Before they could turn their heads, they heard another whoosh, and the second wild fruit shattered, followed by the third, and then the fourth......

It turned out that Big Tooth was rapidly pulling his bow and shooting arrows at an astonishing speed, as if shooting in a chain, and there was no stop between the previous arrow and the next, all in one go.

I saw that he shot 10 arrows in a row, shooting all the wild fruits.

"Good!"

Lin Yuan stood up and applauded, and all the primitives sitting around also imitated the leader and began to applaud.

They were having a simple hunter game, which was Qiao Jing's suggestion.

Lin Yuan agreed very much, you must know that because of the heavy rain, nesting in the cave for several days in a row, if you don't engage in some entertainment activities, ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it.

This hunter jousting tournament can enrich the boring life of primitive people on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also spur hunters to practice their skills and improve their level.

Big Tooth is a new talent unearthed at this martial arts competition, Lin Yuan firmly remembered him, he can quickly fire bows and arrows, which is a very useful skill.

"Humph......"

Hou Yi, who was sitting on the side of the cave, obviously expressed his dissatisfaction, seeing that someone was about to snatch away his reputation as a marksman, Hou Yi was naturally a little anxious.

Lin Yuan walked over with a smile, sat down next to Hou Yi, and said:

"What, not convinced? There's no way around that, it's a hunter tournament, you're not a hunter, so you can't participate. ”

Seeing the leader coming, Hou Yi was a little surprised, and hurriedly said apologetically:

"No, Hou Yi doesn't dare!"

Lin Yuan touched the little boy's head and said:

"When you turn 16 years old, you can be a hunter of the Yan clan, and I hope that when the time comes, you can become the real great marksman of our tribe......"

"Hmmm! Good! Hou Yi nodded seriously.

"And ......," Lin Yuan said earnestly, "The improvement of ability does not only depend on physical skills, sometimes, here...... More important than the body! Lin Yuan pointed to his head.

Looking at Hou Yi's dazed expression, Lin Yuan added with a smile:

"With wisdom, that is, brains, many times, you will get better results, how? Don't believe it, well, you see! ”

Lin Yuan suddenly stood up and beckoned Big Tooth to come over.

"Big Tooth, how many wild fruits can you blow at a time?"

Big Tooth touched the beads of sweat on his head, and said honestly:

"Hehe, Big Tooth can only shoot 10 rounds in a row at most, just now it is the limit, Big Tooth's arm is already sore, and he can't lift it."

Lin Yuan nodded, sure enough, it's not that the big tooth arm is not strong, but the first generation of arrows he used, the tip is made of stone chips, and the weight is a little heavy, although it is not a big problem to use it in ordinary times, but if you want to launch continuously at a high frequency, every gram of weight increase is a test of the archer's endurance.

"You try this."

Lin Yuan took out a small handful of arrows from behind him and handed them to Big Tooth.

Big Tooth looked at the arrow in his hand in surprise, and even Hou Yi on the side stood up in surprise.

This arrow looks completely different from the previous first-generation arrows.

These arrows are shorter and smaller in appearance than the previous ones, and the branches that make up the arrows' torso are darker in color, taking on a brownish-red color, while the tips of the arrows are pale in color, which is significantly different from the gray appearance of the first generation of arrows.

"...... this?"

Big Tooth and Hou Yi asked in unison.

Lin Yuan stroked his hair proudly and said:

"This is the latest arrow, I have improved the composition of the material, the body of the arrow is made of lighter weight bamboo, and the tip is made of polished boar bone, so that the weight will be much lighter, about half as light as a stone arrow."

"Wow......"

Hou Yi shouted excitedly, he knew the bow and arrow best, he knew very well that his little invention and innovation of the Yan King was not simple, and lighter arrows meant easier launches, and at the same time meant simpler attack skills.

Big Tooth didn't seem to react yet, and he stood stupidly on the ground stunned.

Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, letting him use the new generation of arrows to continue preparing for the performance.

Under Lin Yuan's instructions, a team of workers filled a row of wild fruits in the original place where wild fruits were placed, and this time, a total of 20 pieces were placed, and the number doubled.

"Get ready and go." Lin Yuan commanded.

Big Tooth ran back to the same place, rubbed his arm, made a few relaxing movements, and then played with Lin Yuan's newly invented arrow a few times, and then took the bow, mounted the arrow, aimed, and held his breath......

Sou...... Whoosh whoosh ...... Whoosh whoosh ......

The sound of the rapid breaking of the sky was endless, and the exclamations of the surrounding people were louder and louder, and even the old women threw down the work of polishing the stone tools in their hands, stood up, and watched the performance of Big Tooth in surprise.

I saw that Big Tooth's hands were as fast as the wind, and he could hardly see his movements, and after a while, he only heard the two "bells", and all the arrows in his hands were fired.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

Big Tooth dropped his short bow and crouched on the ground, he seemed exhausted.

"A total of 22 rounds were fired, and the last two could not be contained, as if they hit the stone wall......"

Big Tooth panted back to report.

"Flame King! This new arrow is amazing! Let's use this all in the future, great! Hou Yi jumped up happily and shouted.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said calmly:

"Don't worry, this new bone arrow can't completely replace the stone arrow, the two have different uses."

"Huh? Why? Hou Yi asked curiously.

Lin Yuan didn't answer in a hurry, he led the primitives to the entrance of the cave that was used as a shooting range, where the walls were covered with the jam of wild fruits exploding, but the 20 wild fruits that were put on the table this time were intact.

"Oops! Ah!! What's going on? ”

Big Tooth had already relieved himself, and he couldn't help but feel a tense when he looked at the intact wild fruits on the wall.

Did they not hit? It's a big shame......

Lin Yuan didn't say anything, he walked up to the wild fruit, took it down casually, and then raised it above his head so that the primitive people around him could see it clearly.

On this wild fruit with a complete appearance, there was a short arrow, which was Lin Yuan's newly invented bone arrow.

"Ah...... How could it be ......"

The surrounding primitives whispered, they had seen the effect of countless stone arrows hitting wild fruits before, and all of them exploded directly, but this bone arrow only passed through.

Lin Yuan looked at everyone and said the secret loudly:

"As you can see, bone arrows have completely different properties from the first generation of stone arrows, stone arrows, which are heavy but also powerful, and can break fruits with one shot."

He said, pointing to the crumbled jam on the wall.

"And what about this bone arrow? Because of its light weight, its power is also small, but its advantages are also obvious, that is, it can be fired quickly and continuously, and ......" Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow from the wild fruit and put it in front of everyone's eyes.

“…… Moreover, because the power is small and will not explode, the bone arrows will basically not be damaged, and they can be recycled and reused, so we can reduce the pressure of making arrows......"

Some of the primitive people around nodded their heads, and some stood on the spot.

That's right, Lin Yuan forgot again, this is a group of primitive people from the Stone Age, and there are some words that they may really not understand.

Anyway, Lin Yuan smiled, as long as the key people can understand, the weapon development of the Yan tribe has another branch.

Lin Yuan looked around at the surrounding clansmen one by one, and nodded happily, Hou Yi, Blade, Big Tooth, Anna......

Hey? No, what about Qiao Jing?

Lin Yuan looked around again, but still didn't see Qiao Jing......

"Anna! Did you see Qiao Jing? Lin Yuan asked aloud to Anna, who was standing opposite.

Anna shook her head.

What about people? Where did it go???

Lin Yuan originally planned to tell Qiao Jing to organize the children to learn the skills of sharpening bone arrows together......

"Brother Lin Yuan!!!!!"

Suddenly, a terrible cry came from the rainy night outside the cave.

Lin Yuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Qiao Jing had an accident outside!
