Hunter Academy Chapter 56 Hunting Pheasants
Under Hank's guidance, the group soon found a source of water.
This is a two-meter-wide forest stream, the water is clear, the water is not deep, you can see the bottom at a glance, there are some small fish and shrimp swimming in the water, this is a very high-quality water source, even if you drink it directly.
"Let's look for a suitable camp near this creek, the water here is very good, and we can just come to the creek to get water in the future."
The four of them did not encounter any danger along the way, except for some ordinary birds and herbivorous beasts, so they decided to separate for the time being, two on each side of the creek, to find a suitable camp site in the opposite direction, and after half an hour, whether they found it or not, they returned to this place to meet.
There are a lot of smooth and round pebbles in the creek, and the projectiles used to make slingshots are very suitable, so one person takes some and brings them, and you can use the slingshot to hunt or something on the way.
Xia Yuan came to the shore and looked for it in the direction of the creek upstream.
He is invincible to the Force, naturally fearless, without the slightest appearance of a novice hunter entering the barren mountains and mountains, he takes the steps that his six relatives do not recognize, like a jungle overlord cruising his own territory calmly.
"Plop plop...... Giggle..."
Xia Yuan suddenly heard the cry of the bird and the sound of its wings flapping, he was happy in his heart, the prey was delivered to the door, he stopped, leaned down, and made himself look more secretive.
He held the slingshot in his left hand and the leather cloth on which the stone had been placed in his right hand, ready to shoot it at any moment.
He slowly approached the source of the sound, observing his surroundings attentively.
Got it!
Xia Yuan hid behind a big tree and poked out half of his head to observe, this is a pheasant, also known as a young chicken, with a white collar on its neck and a metallic green collar that contrasts sharply, and there are horizontal stripes on its long tail feathers, and other feathers on its body are also relatively gorgeous.
Generally, the pheasant on Earth is smaller than the domestic chicken, but this pheasant is larger than the domestic chicken, perhaps because it is on an alien planet.
But the bigger the better, the more meat you can eat, in China when the pheasant is a wild protected animal, can not be killed at will, he has never eaten pheasant meat, now no one cares, he must taste it well, presumably it will be more delicious.
The pheasant was bending its neck and combing its feathers with its beak, unaware that it was being targeted.
Xia Yuan slowly pulled out the slingshot, but he didn't dare to use too much force, and his fifty catties of bearing power couldn't withstand all his current strength.
Aim, as if he had seen the pheasant lying in a pool of blood, he suddenly let go of the leather cloth he was holding in his right hand.
The stone "Whoosh!" It flew out.
The pheasant had no time to react when it heard the sound, it had just raised its head as if it had reflexed, and the stone had already flown to its side, and it was too late to do anything else.
It's a pity that Xia Yuan is not a good hand at using a slingshot, although he didn't play less when he was young, but it was just playing, there was no special practice, the accuracy was far from enough, the stones he shot grazed the pheasant's tail feathers and flew past, although it scared the pheasant a lot, but it didn't cause any damage.
Although the pheasant was stunned for a moment, it quickly reacted, even running and jumping, and constantly waving its wings, forming a parabola, and fled and disappeared from Xia Yuan's front in the blink of an eye.
Xia Yuan shook his head dejectedly, just a little, this stone is slightly deviated by three or four centimeters, and the pheasant will fall into his hands, but he quickly cheered up, it is normal for him to miss, he has not touched the slingshot for many years, this time it is just a little off, let him use it a few more times, familiarize himself, and he will not easily miss the prey at this distance in the future.
He didn't put away the slingshot, but took it in his hand and continued to move forward.
When he paid attention to the surrounding environment, he found a lot of signs of animal activity, but it was relatively secretive, when he saw each other, the other party always saw him, and then they all avoided it, although they may not have seen humans, but just look at Xia Yuan's relatively huge size, he knew that it was not easy to mess with, for animals, body size represents strength.
Suddenly, Xia Yuan heard "plop plop" again...... Coo-coo..."This voice is a pheasant again, but I don't know if it's the one he encountered.
He slowed down again, quietly touched the source of the sound, and then took out a stone to put on the slingshot, he thought of the scene of the last mistake, and couldn't help but think to himself, his current accuracy is still poor, if you want to hit, you still have to rely on some luck.
If only he could use a slingshot to shoot several stones at a time, but if he didn't hit enough, the number would be made up, so his chances of hitting would be greatly improved.
It's a pity that the leather cloth of the slingshot is too small, and it is difficult to handle too many stones, and the strength and trajectory are even more difficult to control.
Alas, the range of his domain is also a little too small, only three meters, and it can't be used for long-range attacks at all, if his domain range is three hundred meters, even if it's thirty meters, then none of the small animals he encountered before can run, and he can't help it.
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and glanced at the slingshot in his hand, the body of this slingshot is only the size of a palm, even if the rubber band is full, it is only half a meter long, but it can easily pop the stone dozens of meters away with the help of elasticity and inertia, and the power is not reduced, so why doesn't his force do it.
His Force is like a heart in the field, and he can use the Force to simulate the elastic effect, all of which is based on the principle of giving the pebble a large enough acceleration to make it have a strong inertia when it is out of this force, carrying a huge amount of kinetic energy.
In fact, whether it is a bow and arrow, a slingshot, or a firearm is based on this basic principle, even throwing things directly with your hands is the same, throwing things outward directly with your hands is not only a small point of power, but also in the process of acceleration, it is inevitable to have some arcs, which will make the trajectory of the object difficult to control, so there will be weapons such as bows and arrows, and these weapons will not only increase the power of acceleration, but also turn the accelerated track into a straight one, which greatly increases the accuracy.
Now as long as he uses the Force to apply a strong acceleration to the stone and makes the orbit straight, then he can shoot the stone out.
And all this is too easy for him, he just needs the Force to wrap around the stone and then push it out violently, he doesn't have to control the Force to release the stone by himself, because as soon as the Force leaves his three-meter range, it will automatically dissipate, and then the stone will be launched forward with huge kinetic energy under inertia.
And Xia Yuan can completely wrap multiple stones and launch them at the same time, even if he is not particularly accurate, but the general direction will not deviate, when multiple stones fly towards that area at the same time, he can always hit one, and now the prey he wants to hunt is not a small insect that is not small and invisible.
It's better to act than excited, Xia Yuan immediately put away the slingshot, and then took out a few small stones.
