Chapter 24: Animal Friends
Under the tall pine trees, a few small gray-white heads poked around, and it was a group of highland voles foraging for food.
With a "whoosh", a blue light burrowed into the woods about a meter away from the voles.
"I rely on ......", Sun Licheng, who missed the shot, couldn't help but scold.
"Stupid ......", the two gods in Sun Licheng's mind scolded in unison.
Since Sun Licheng learned to refine bronze, he not only made bronze knives, bronze axes, bronze spears, but even a batch of bows and arrows.
It is said that Sun Licheng's bow and arrow have also been upgraded many times. In the beginning, due to the shortage of supplies, the bow arm was made of long branches slowly roasted and bent over fire, the bowstring was made of hemp rope made of vines, and the arrowhead was basically made of animal teeth. That range and power, that is, harass the prey.
Since the advent of bronze smelting technology, Sun Licheng applied bronze parts to bows and arrows, improving the toughness and elasticity of bow arms and making composite bows. The bowstring is made of a large tendon of a Warcraft, which is full of elasticity. The arrows use tempered bronze arrowheads, which are not as sharp as the teeth of some monsters, but are more aerodynamic, and the flight range and flight status have been greatly improved. The design of the entire bow is based on modern bows and arrows, and the killing effect is amazing. After Sun Licheng's experiment, at a distance of thirty meters, the arrow shot by this bow could sink nearly half into the tree, which was very powerful.
During this period of time, Sun Licheng has been actively exploring outward. Seeing the vole today, Sun Licheng estimated that the distance was less than thirty meters, and he wanted to try his archery skills.
As a result, he was full of confidence and failed at such a close distance, and the frightened voles fled in all directions. Sun Licheng walked over, picked up the arrow he shot, and sighed: "It's really not easy to be an archer!"
The magma god shards were covered with black lines, and he turned his head and asked the Lord of the Stars, "Do you think this thing can resurrect us?"
The Lord of the Stars was a little embarrassed by this question, he coughed twice, and replied, "Don't worry, it's not very good to see the bow and arrows he made." Believe it or not, I believe it anyway. After saying that, he didn't wait for the reaction of the magma god fragments, and fell asleep first.
The magma god fragment looked at the Lord of the Stars, and then at Sun Licheng, speechless.
Sun Licheng, who scared away the vole, continued on the road, collecting a lot of edible plants on the way, and found some new food ingredients through tasting.
Walking in the mountains, Sun Licheng looked up, the white mist rose between the snow-capped peaks, and the endless mountains around him blocked his vision, surrounded by slightly barren pine forests and dwarf bushes, which made people feel very monotonous and bored along the way.
Suddenly, Sun Licheng heard the sound of the river hitting the stones in front of him, and hurriedly ran over according to the equipment on his body. As he ran up the hill, a large river appeared in front of him.
In the wilderness, a river nearly 20 meters wide meanders from left to right. According to Sun Licheng's knowledge, there is only one big river around here, if I don't guess wrong, this is the big river I saw before. He was very happy that he was back in a familiar place, and along the river he could find his old camp, where there was a lot of stock.
People feel at ease when they are in a familiar place or in the face of familiar people, and this is the reason why they know their old knowledge in a foreign land, even in another world. Sun Licheng walked upstream along the river, and soon saw the familiar Daxue Mountain, the huge waterfall should be at the foot of the mountain. Sun Licheng couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After walking for half a day, the big meadow appeared in front of me. From a distance, some fat rabbits were foraging for food on the meadow.
Looking at these rabbits, Sun Licheng couldn't help but be greedy, and he remembered the deliciousness of wolf rabbit meat.
Desire overshadowed reason, and Sun Licheng decided to give it a try. He found a relatively lonely wolf rabbit and stalked cautiously through it. Sun Licheng, who had made great progress, did not alarm the rabbit and successfully hid in a bush twenty meters away from the rabbit. He drew his bow and arrows, aimed at the fat rabbit, and ......
Sun Licheng shot crooked again. The frightened rabbit jumped forward violently, and quickly turned his head back, and soon found Sun Licheng who was sneaking up, and his red eyes immediately became extremely scarlet.
Immediately afterward, the wolf rabbit raised its head to the sky and roared, and a large number of rabbits rushed out from all parts of the meadow.
Sun Licheng, who had missed the shot, had already prepared, and he quickly shot a few arrows at the wolves and rabbits, and sent out a few scorching rockets. Of course, these things can't hurt the rabbits, but they seriously interfere with the rabbits' formation.
Taking advantage of the scattered wolf and rabbit formation, Sun Licheng quickly escaped.
was discussing the magma god fragment of the wolf rabbit with the Lord of the Stars, and when he saw Sun Licheng escaping so decisively and calmly, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. And the Lord of the Stars said with a disapproving face: "Rush to this level of escape, don't worry, he will definitely be able to complete the task." ”
Sun Licheng, who was familiar with the terrain, knew that there was a small cave in the distance, where the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that he could avoid being beaten by wolves and rabbits. At the same time, it is impossible for the wolves to leave their nests for too long, so they only need to drag for a while to successfully escape.
Sun Licheng's speed has improved a lot now, and he quickly ran to that cave. The cave was on the mountainside, and there was only one path to pass, and the rest of the cave was a large rock as high as a man. Soon, the wolves and rabbits surrounded the bottom of the mountain, and they tried to rush a few times, but they were all repelled by Sun Licheng's bows and arrows and rockets, and even a few were shot and wounded, and there was no way to take Sun Licheng for a while.
Because the attack did not go well, the wolves and rabbits became more and more irritable, and they quarreled after a while. Suddenly, a huge tiger roar sounded around, and a giant saber-toothed tiger with a height of nearly 2 meters slowly walked over. This tiger originally wanted to go to the small waterhole next to it to drink, but he didn't want to bump into the conflict between Sun Licheng and the wolves and rabbits. The saber-toothed tiger clearly felt that its authority was being challenged, and it kept roaring at the hare, which shook people's ears.
But the fierce wolf rabbit was not intimidated, more than 40 rabbits quickly occupied the favorable terrain, under the leadership of the big fat gray rabbit, set up a formation, and the saber-toothed tiger began to confront, for a time the mountain roared all over the sky.
Sun Licheng, with his intuition, thought that the two animals were communicating.
The Lord of the Stars in his mind said to the Magma God Fragment: "These Goblin Empire's Warcraft Army is indeed powerful, and it has been more than 10,000 years, and it is still so fierce. ”
The magma god shard nodded and said, "These rabbits are indeed powerful, and like goblins, they can't be killed at all. There is no way, we can only use our divine power to keep them from leaving here, waiting for them to degrade naturally. Ten thousand years have passed, and the combat effectiveness of these rabbits has been greatly reduced, but there are too many of them, especially in formation, and ordinary demonic beasts can't beat them at all. ”
The two gods were discussing the wolf rabbit, and a golden light appeared in Sun Licheng's mind. The magma god fragment was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "A new ability has awakened?"
Sun Licheng was pleasantly surprised to find that he was suddenly able to comprehend the roars of the two fierce beasts.
"The prey in the cave up there is ours. ", the wolf rabbit said to the saber-toothed tiger.
And the saber-toothed tiger's answer was one word: "Get out!"
It turned out that an ability called "Animal Friend" awakened in Sun Licheng's body. With this ability, you can communicate with animals, and as your ability improves, the smoother the communication will be. When it reaches a certain level, it can even take the animals as their little brother and let them charge for themselves.
In fact, this ability belongs to the druid, and the body created through divine power is too special, and the knowledge given by the magma god is very complicated, and many of them have been explained by Sun Licheng with the thinking of the earth, and there has been a mutation.
Seeing this, the two gods were a little dazed and couldn't think of a reason. However, there were too many strange things that happened to Sun Licheng, and they quickly regained their composure and continued to discuss the issues they were interested in.
After more than an hour of mutual intimidation, the big gray rabbit finally led the wolf rabbit to retreat.
Sun Licheng emerged from the cave and greeted the saber-toothed tiger.
The well-fed saber-toothed tiger was obviously not interested in Sun Licheng, and replied with a high-pitched tiger roar all his life: "Get out!"
............
The camp in front of Sun Licheng was already devastated, full of traces of wild beasts, and he thought that he had been patronized by many fierce beasts. Fortunately, I was well prepared at that time, and the hidden materials were quite complete.
With the new shelter, the original camp will be abandoned. He packed up all the supplies he could take with him in the camp, and smashed those that he couldn't take, such as large pieces of pottery, into pieces. Pottery shards are a good thing, and if you put some in them when making pottery blanks, the quality of the fired pottery will be better.
After some tidying, Sun Licheng left a few basic materials behind, carrying large bags and small bags towards his own valley downstream.
After returning to the cave, he began to make crossbow arrows.
Ranged strikes are indispensable, but poor archery makes a good bow and arrow an ornament. This is not to blame Sun Licheng, in ancient times, an archer needed at least a few years or even more than ten years of training. After thinking about it, Sun Licheng decided to give up the treatment, and he wanted to make another long-range strike equipment - crossbow arrows.
The biggest advantage of the crossbow is that it can store kinetic energy for precise aiming and shooting. However, the rate of fire is much lower than that of bows and arrows, and generally only one crossbow arrow can be fired in a minute. As an old otaku, Sun Licheng has a lot of modern bow and crossbow knowledge in his head, and it only takes a short time to master it with crossbow arrows.
This place is overgrown with primeval forests, and those trees that are thirty or forty meters high are hard and have great economic value. If Sun Licheng can pull these trees back to earth, he will definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money, and it is only a matter of minutes to spend all day drinking. However, YY is not very useful.
Sun Licheng first cut a hardwood tree and sharpened it with a knife to look like a modern gun and crossbow. The wood was very hard, but Sun Licheng had great strength and refined bronze tools at his disposal, so the crossbow body was quickly made.
The most important parts of a strong crossbow are the crossbow and the machine. Bronze has good toughness, Sun Licheng also has the power of flame and elemental guidance, plus his strong strength, it is really not suitable to get anything. All he needed was a flame to burn, a thought about it, and a hand to adjust it.
In order to increase the power of the crossbow, Sun Licheng used three bronze bars to strengthen together to make a crossbow in the shape of a recurve. Because he could not do eccentric wheels, he could only increase the rate of fire by increasing the strength of the crossbow.
Sun Licheng used the finest Warcraft tendons to make the bowstring, and reinforced it with bronze parts in key parts. The leather, bones, and tendons of the monster are much stronger than ordinary beasts, especially the tendon toughness and elasticity of the giant bull. The tendon that used to be mounted on the bow and arrow, but now it has been removed and installed on the crossbow, which is even more powerful.
Sun Licheng tried to pull the bowstring, but with his strength, it was a little difficult. He used his maximum strength to pull the crossbow, waited for a while and then relaxed, and then carefully examined it, and saw that the crossbow was not deformed at all, indicating that the strength of the crossbow was still very good.
There are elaborate winding mechanisms for bows and crossbows, such as tensions, levers, and wheels. Sun Licheng thought about it, and with his own strength, he decided to use the pedal method, which is to stretch the winding. He made a foot pedal that was mounted on the front end of the crossbow body, which could be easily achieved with a foot pedal.
In order to improve the accuracy of the bow and crossbow, he also made sights on the body of the crossbow. In order to increase the rate of fire of his bolts, he made an arrow magazine to attach above the crossbow. After the bolt is placed in the receiver, a bolt will automatically roll down into the groove of the crossbow body after each winding, making it semi-automatic.
For crossbow arrows, Sun Licheng used the bronze casting method. He first poured a batch of short crossbows, and then used the power of fire and spiritual refining to refine them. Such crossbow arrows, with uniform specifications, are convenient for Sun Licheng to shoot accurately, and the power is amazing. He created several diagonal tail fins at the back of the bolt, which allowed the bolt to rotate in flight, allowing it to have a more stable trajectory and greater lethality. Bronze has good plasticity, and it is only necessary to retrieve the shot crossbow arrows to be recycled. Even some damage can be easily repaired, saving a lot of material and production time.
After the production of the strong crossbow was completed, Sun Licheng conducted a test firing. At a distance of 40 meters, he accurately shot through a big tree the size of a sea bowl, and the power was amazing! At this point, Sun Licheng had a reliable means of long-range strike, and he did not have to hunt as hard as before.
"Rabbits, little one! Wait for the uncle to clean you up!"
Sun Licheng brandished his crossbow arrow and said fiercely in the direction of the meadow.
