Zhang Heng glanced at his character panel and found that the skills above had finally changed from two to three, but the caustic evaluation below still hadn't changed.

Since the shorts brother taught him to make bows and arrows, Zhang Heng has one more activity every day.

He carved out an area on the beach to practice archery.

Although he used the knowledge imparted by Ed and the Shorts Boy to get rid of food and fresh water, he even moved out of the cave full of guano and lived in a tiled house that he had built himself.

However, soon after the improvement of material life, a new crisis appeared.

Ed once said that the greatest enemy of a man who has mastered the art of survival in the wild is never the vagaries of nature, but yourself.

Once the basic survival needs are met, the vast majority of people will enter a state of confusion, and after losing their purpose and motivation, they will soon be enveloped in a huge sense of loneliness when they are alone on a desert island.

Therefore, Zhang Heng had to find something extra to do, so that his body and brain would always be kept busy, so that he would not have time to think about the fact that he was on a desert island.

Considering that he would have to survive here for more than 400 days (when he studied with his little brother), Zhang Heng set a new goal for himself.

He decided to go on an expedition to the center of the island.

His range of activity has so far been limited to the outskirts of the island, and the furthest being a short distance into the primeval forest in search of wood for a fire, where, in addition to seeing pheasants, he has also found the bones of some animals on the ground, which seems to prove the existence of predators.

Since then, he has been carefully controlling his area of activity, away from the primeval forest, after all, there are enough resources by the beach for him to survive.

But now, in order to combat this terrible loneliness, Zhang Heng needs a goal to support him to continue to live.

- Let's go to the center of the island and see what's there.

After setting the goal, Zhang Heng began to devote himself wholeheartedly to it and worked hard for it.

Considering the presence of predators in the forest, he first needed to protect himself as much as possible.

The Shorts Boy taught him how to make two ranged weapons, a bow and a sling.

The latter is the easiest to make, but the most difficult to use, and the angle and timing of the stone throw are extremely strict, and you will find that the stone thrown is 108,000 miles away from your goal.

It's not easy to hit the target four or five times out of a hundred.

On the contrary, the bow and arrow are better accurate and easy to control, and Zhang Heng himself has a certain foundation in archery, and the coach taught him standard posture, force and breathing skills in the training class.

All he lacked was practice.

In the real world, even if a day becomes 48 hours because there are too many things to do, it is impossible for him to spend too much time on a hobby.

And now, on this desert island where he is alone, the last thing he lacks is time.

From the recurve bows sold in the mall to the original handmade bows, there is no doubt that it is a complete downgrade of consumption.

Compared with the former, the accuracy and durability of the latter are a little worrisome, it takes more strength to open the bow, and the bark rope that Zhang Heng used to make the bowstring has the risk of breaking after more than a hundred pulls, and the average life span is about one hundred and fifty arrows.

He set himself a standard of 300 arrows a day, which required two bowstring changes.

On the first hundred and seventy-two days after coming to the desert island, Zhang Heng could basically achieve a stationary target within ten meters, and thirty meters also had a seventy percent hit rate, beyond which the threat of the simple bow and arrow in his hand would be greatly reduced.

Later, he was prompted that his archery skills had been upgraded from lv0 to lv1.

Zhang Heng was still a little dissatisfied, his goal was to practice archery from lv2 and then go deep into the primeval forest to explore, so that he would have enough power to protect himself.

During this time, Zhang Heng was not idle except for practicing archery, he had moved from the cave into the tile house, but he only lived at the edge of the forest, and after transferring all the belongings, he burned a batch of pottery, and now he finally lived a life of eating with a bowl.

Relying on the archery technique that had been promoted to lv1, Zhang Heng went a little deeper into the forest again, and arrived near the place where he was looking for fire-making wood last time, and sure enough, he ran into the thing that was suspected to be a pheasant last time.

The latter seemed to be laughing at Zhang Heng's helplessness with it, and the two of them let out two yin and yang weird cries after looking at each other, and then spread their feet and burrowed into the bushes.

As a result, the next moment, its body was pierced by a wooden arrow that fell from the sky.

At the same moment, Zhang Heng's ears sounded again.

[Hunting success, game points +3, you can go to the character panel to view the relevant information......]

Zhang Heng's palms were full of sweat, and there were only seven meters between him and the animal suspected of being pheasants, which was a distance he was more sure of, but once the other party ran up, his accuracy would drop significantly.

Therefore, the arrow was shot more quickly than usual, and his breathing was a little scattered when the arrow was released, but fortunately, the usual hard practice worked, and the chicken was relatively fat, so that his blow did not miss.

The thing fluttered a few more times, and finally went backstage to get the bento very unwillingly.

Zhang Heng walked over and completed the recovery of the arrows first, and then squatted down to check his harvest.

This is a strange-looking creature, Zhang Heng thought it was a pheasant at first, but after a closer look, he found that the beak of this thing was more like a duck, but the front end was curved, and its size was much larger than that of a pheasant, with blue-gray feathers on its body, short wings, and two small thick legs underneath.

This thing looks a little ugly......

Zhang Heng had scrolled to a bird atlas, but he couldn't find this thing on it, but since he fed on fruits and seeds, theoretically speaking, probably, perhaps, should ...... You can eat it too.

During this time on the island, Zhang Heng did not have no meat to eat, but the seafood flavor of fish, shrimp and crab is meat that does not run on land no matter what.

Since the last time he saw this kind of thing that was suspected of being a pheasant, Zhang Heng hit the other party with his idea, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do with these things running around the ground at that time, and now that his archery skills are small, he can't wait to extend his claws to these innocent little creatures.

In the end, Zhang Heng's first hunt was full of loads, in addition to this fifteen-pound "pheasant", he also accidentally found a piece of wild artichoke on the way back.

This thing is rich in starch, which can be used as a staple food, and the yield is also very high, Zhang Heng was not willing to eat more, only left the two largest ones to be stewed with chicken in the evening, and the rest was carefully put into the basket by him after digging it out, planning to go back and reclaim a vegetable garden by the tile house.

This thing grows very fast, and as long as it is processed well, there will be a steady stream of artichoke to eat in the future.
