Chapter 10: Encounters
After leaving the tree hole, in order to test the camouflage effect of the bear skin, Wang Qiang took a few turns around the tree with the "bear bone helmet", and the little beasts that were active in the surrounding area did not know what they were.
Very good, as expected. Then the next thing is that Sister Hua and the others blocked the tree hole again, waiting for Wang Qiang's reconnaissance news, this time Wang Qiang explained clearly, no matter what happened, Sister Hua must not come out to find it. Because an accident means the extinction of the race, and there is no point.
Then Wang Qiang withstood the weight of his body step by step, walked all the way and left the woods, target: the direction of the hostile tribe.
That's right, it's just the direction, to confirm if the other party will come to chase or something. In Wang Qiang's initial opinion, the possibility of a chase in winter is very small, but since it is the highest difficulty, it is not clear. Therefore, Wang Qiang needs to leave this bear footprint everywhere on the other party's way to declare that this is the territory of the giant bear, further confuse and intimidate the other party, and then he can find a way to develop this forest.
As for the hostile tribes that are a day or two away, don't think about it, you can't do it yourself! Once you encounter the other party's hunting team, there is no return. So don't laugh at them that the tribe only has a day's vision before, and go back to the tree hole before dark.
And as soon as he talked about the direction, Wang Qiang suddenly felt a sense of disobedience, could he distinguish between the southeast and the northwest? Wang Qiang looked up at the sky from the bear's bone sockets, trying to find the newborn sun in the early winter morning, but there were only snow clouds in the sky at the lower level of dark clouds, and the slightly brighter clouds should be in the east...... Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Wang Qiang felt that he had overlooked something important? Wang Qiang asked in surprise: "Is our side north or south of the river?" ”
Ah Duo said blankly: "What is the north, what is the south?" ”
me, don't they have the concept of southeast, northwest, and northwest? Brother really missed something terrible! Well, don't worry about the little details. Just when Wang Qiang walked out of the woods uncertainly and arrived at the periphery of the cave where he lived yesterday, a thunderous beast roar suddenly came from the cave!
Wang Qiang's frightened legs were weak, and Ah Duo was even more nervous and pulled Wang Qiang from behind so that the chief did not fall.
Wang Qiang was a little unbelievable, he didn't see him for a night, and this hole was occupied by a fierce beast? That is, if you don't lead the tribe out of this cave yesterday, the consequences are unpredictable? Obviously, your smell or sound was discovered by an unknown beast in the cave, so you have to retreat, right?
Just when Wang Qiang's mind was in a hurry, the muffled roar in the cave was repeated, Wang Qiang heard it clearly, this was clearly the neighing sound of a horse or something, and Wang Qiang's face changed drastically!
Horse! The other party is really chasing and killing all the way in winter, how much hatred?
Ah Duo asked in a trembling voice, "What is this?" ”
Wang Qiang was also extremely nervous and said: "The enemy's horse! Let's go back into the woods a little bit, and put on a statue so they don't see it clearly......"
As soon as the words fell, a tall burly man wearing animal skin with a spear in his hand rushed out of the cave, and when he saw the "giant bear", he was shocked and on guard!
Did you scare him? Wang Qiang was also nervous, and the hairs on his whole body stood on end! In this era, Wang Qiang's fear of people far exceeds that of wild beasts, wild beasts have no wisdom, but people do, their wild hunting wisdom must be much stronger than their own abandoned house, once they goof, the consequences are unimaginable.
At this moment, a line of subtitles suddenly popped up in Wang Qiang's brain - system prompt: A bounty NPC is found, and the kill will receive a basic reward of 100 points (added by the difficulty factor) and additional rewards. Points can be exchanged for various material resources and human resources after the trial ends.
System prompt!? Wang Qiang was stunned again! Wang Qiang thought that he had crossed over to the complete real world, and there should not be such things as "system prompts" and "NPCs" that were full of game flavor, but when he met this person, it became a game again? But conventionally, this kind of bounty NPC must be killed, and if you exchange it for yourself, it will be 6 times the reward! The problem is that if the other party doesn't come to trouble him, it's not bad, how can he kill him?
In a daze, a restless long-haired horse was led out of the cave by him, and at this moment, Wang Qiang's bear eyes were completely blind - this long-haired horse that resembles a yak has reins, a saddle, and stirrups! What's even more unacceptable to Wang Qiang is that there is a big bag on the horse's buttocks, and a curved bow and dense arrow shafts are suddenly inserted in the bag!
Make no mistake! Is it me or he crosses? Wang Qiang couldn't describe the shock in his heart in any words!
Just when Wang Qiang was at a loss, the big horse that saw the "giant bear" struggled even more violently, so that the man couldn't hold the reins, and the man had to turn over and suppress it, this action is as flexible and vigorous as a gymnast on the bar!
Wang Qiang already felt the breath of the end of the game - once this man stabilized the horse, he could shoot himself through with one arrow! No, I'm afraid even a real bear would be killed by his bag of arrows alive kite.
Then there is only one chance, and that is to continue to scare the horse while it is still afraid of itself - "rush"!
As the "Giant Bear" immediately made a sudden forward action, the horse's fear instantly reached its peak, and it roared wildly and made the most classic horse "horse back flip" hind leg upright action, the man hugged the horse's neck so that it was not thrown off, but the bow and a bunch of arrows on the horse's butt bag did fall to the ground with a bang!
Wang Qiang's eyelids jumped wildly, and the bow fell off!
The next moment, the horse landed on the ground with its front hooves and did what all horses do, spreading its hooves and galloping! All of a sudden, the "giant bear" was thrown out of reach.
Looking at the pile of bows and arrows on the ground, and then looking at the dusty horse in the distance, Wang Qiang couldn't believe it, this is the rhythm of "no guns, no cannons, the enemy made for me"? I'll it, what's the point of this kind of brushing equipment? It's just as difficult as the hanging?
But even so, Wang Qiang couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and stepped forward to pick up this bow, a "3" shaped bow!
Recurve compound bow! Good high-end bow making level! Then he picked up the dozen or so arrows on the ground, and found that the arrows were not copper or iron, and they were extremely neat, stone? No, it's a ceramic arrow?!
I'll you, awesome! This is really open! Wang Qiang can only confirm that the so-called bounty NPC just now may be crossed, is it a reward easter egg for the game? Or is it that the hostile race he is facing is all his equipment? If it was the latter, Wang Qiang couldn't think about it. However, as long as he has the first gun, Wang Qiang will have the confidence to turn the tables with a spark, and the highest difficulty is nothing more than that!
Wang Qiang began to try to pull the bowstring, but his fingers were so painful that he couldn't pull out a small half bow, and the bowstring was like a steel wire!
, the weapons sent to the door can't be used? Wang Qiang immediately realized that this might be the legendary Mongolian bow, an artifact-like existence in all riding and slashing games! In addition, the two large bags of arrows behind the horse's butt just now are the standard equipment of Mongolian horse archers.
What is the concept of a Mongolian bow? It takes at least 50 kg of pulling force to pull out a full bow. What is the concept of 50 kg of pulling force? The most common kind of 4-spring fitness arm force is 50 kg of tension, as long as the arm force can be fully pulled, it has the arm strength to pull the lowest grade Mongolian bow. Anyway, Wang Qiang could only fill two springs when he was not a house when he was a student, and now the house is wasted.
And only being able to draw a full bow is still far from becoming a qualified horse archer, and it is necessary to move and aim without shaking your hands when you can draw a full bow for a long time, which has extremely high requirements for strength, finger strength, wrist strength, balance, and judgment of movement trajectory. Therefore, the birth of a Mongolian horse archer must start from the age of a baby, and it will take more than ten years of long training time.
It is precisely because the difficulty of training archers is so high, so the crossbow appeared, although for various reasons, the crossbow could not replace the bow in the era of cold weapons, but the biggest advantage of the crossbow is that it is fast, completely eliminating the most difficult and painful finger pulling and aiming stage of the newcomer.
So in the face of an unusable bow, Wang Qiang's next reaction was to add a wooden frame to this bow and convert it into a crossbow! As a traverser, Wang Qiang can't make gunpowder, let alone guns, but the crossbow can still be transformed.
The structure of the crossbow is actually very simple, some children's toy crossbows simply show the principle: that is, a long groove in the shape of "work" (capital letter I) is carved on the shelf, the upper horizontal groove of the word "work" is used to fix the bow body, the vertical groove in the middle is to put the arrow, and the next horizontal groove is to hang the string.
A slightly more complicated part is the trigger – but the trigger is not really needed, just use your finger to pull the string out of the groove of the hanging string.
In short, the crossbow is as simple as that. As long as the modification is successful, you can use the "foot crossbow" method to pull the bow and hang the string with both hands and feet, and aim as long as you want, and the actual combat problem is solved, the only problem is the material, the tool, and the time...... Well, there are actually a lot of problems, the key is time!
Ah Duo's astonished voice came: "Chief, what is this?" Will he come back to pick it up? ”
Wang Qiang came back to his senses and immediately replied affirmatively: "I will definitely come back!" This thing is a treasure, can you see if you can pull it? ”
That's right, the strength of the Mongolian bow is also destined to be cumbersome in its manufacturing process, especially the various drying of the cow tendon bowstring cannot be completed in a few years. The so-called ten years of sharpening a sword is an exaggeration, but a few years to make a bow is not an exaggeration, this is the ancestral craft of the Mongolian family in that era, a good bow is a family heirloom, and the knight will definitely come back to pick up the horse after stabilizing the horse. Then Wang Qiang's first thought was to pick up the enemy's weapon and kill the enemy.
There is no suspense, and Ah Duo also can't pull a half-bow, and he doesn't understand this weapon without any sharp parts at all.
Wang Qiang sighed secretly in his heart, it was impossible to count on the bow to fight back, not to mention that there was a hit problem, and it was not something that a novice could learn in an instant.
Then pick up something and run? But a normal bear can't take the bow away, right? When he finds that the bow is gone, the woods will be turned upside down, and the hiding place of the women will be immediately exposed.
However, just pick up the gold and throw the bow here and wait for the owner to get it? to prove that you are a real bear? What's the difference between that and salted fish, if you do a live broadcast and be seen by the audience, then millions of fans will all lose their essence! And even if the bow is returned to him, he can continue to track it in the woods!
At this moment, Wang Qiang realized that it was difficult, where is this game to open and send equipment to himself, it is clearly digging a pit for himself, and he knows that it is a pit or wants to jump down!
