Chapter 63: The Crossbow
"Uncle Tyrant, you ...... You...... Are you alright? I thought ...... I thought you ......"
Fengyun found that his voice was stammering, trembling, and his vision was a little blurry.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Turning over and sitting up, seeing the strange expression of surprise on Fengyun's face, he suddenly laughed: "Haha...... Cloud boy, you ...... You don't think I'm dead, do you?"
"Uncle Tyrant, you misunderstood. It's just that your appearance is too scary, I ...... I ......"
Fengyun didn't know how to say it for a while.
"Cloud boy, you don't have to apologize. Actually, I was wrong, I didn't explain it to you beforehand. ”
"Uncle Tyrant, how did you become like that just now?"
Fengyun looked at Storm's face, his face full of confusion and curiosity.
In the short time he sat up, the paleness on his face had completely faded, he had regained his rosiness, and his spirit was very good.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't connect the current storm with the storm he had seen as he rushed into the cave.
"This is one of my abilities, but it's not a special ability, I've been figuring it out for a long time, and I call it hibernation. ”
"Hibernation? What does it do?"
"In a dormant state, the heartbeat becomes nearly stopped, the body temperature drops, and the physical activity is in a state of near-complete stagnation. ”
"I see. No wonder I didn't hear your breathing and stop jumping when I entered the cave. ”
Fengyun showed a look of sudden realization.
One of the biggest mysteries in his mind was finally solved.
When he rushes into the cave, he thinks that Storm may have died, because he is in too much of a dead state.
"Oh, yes. Uncle Tyrant, you haven't said what the purpose of dormancy is?"
"If you hadn't interrupted me, I wouldn't have said it a long time ago. The effect of dormancy is very simple, there are only two, one is to quickly eliminate fatigue, otherwise why do you think I can survive during this time. ”
Fengyun nodded, revealing a thoughtful expression.
No wonder Storm wanted to be separated from him and sleep in different caves, because he was worried that he would scare him when he saw him after he entered hibernation.
But there was a new question in his mind, why did he let him find out now.
If he had gotten up at the usual time, he wouldn't have thought something had happened to him and rushed into the cave.
"Another effect is to slow down the deterioration of the physical condition, whether it is injury or poisoning, as long as they enter a dormant state, they can delay their onset and support them for a longer time. ”
Storm didn't know what Fengyun was thinking in his heart, and said all the dormant effects.
"It's amazing. Uncle Tyrant, can you teach me the dormant?"
Fengyun listened to the violent explanation, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Yes. ”
Storm didn't hesitate and readily agreed, but he also emphasized: "But don't get your hopes up too much." I've figured it out based on my own situation, and everyone's situation is different, and I can't guarantee that you will be able to learn it. ”
"That's not a problem. As long as Uncle Tyrant is willing to teach me the dormant one, I won't blame you for not being able to learn. Uncle Tyrant, tell me about ......"
"Yun boy, you're too anxious. You should at least wait for me to eat something. I'm almost hungry right now. ”
As if to prove that he wasn't lying, his stomach rumbled before he could finish his sentence.
"Uncle Tyrant, don't be angry, I'll do it for you now. Whatever you say you want to eat, I'll do it for you. ”
"Just take a copy of everything you've done on a daily basis. ”
"No problem, but it takes a lot of time, will it delay training?"
"The training is over. ”
"It's over?"
Fengyun screamed, he never thought of Storm giving such an answer.
Before he said this, he didn't feel any signs that he was going to end his training.
"Otherwise, I'll wait until you come and wake me up today?"
Storm strode towards the outside of the cave, and when he passed by Fengyun, he stopped, looked at him, and said seriously: "Yun, you are the best seedling I have ever seen, I have given you everything I will know, and I can't predict how far you can go." ”
"But I have a word for you, never stop moving forward. ”
"Uncle Tyrant, I remember. ”
Fengyun's expression became very solemn.
"What are you doing with your face strained? If an outsider is here, they think I'm teaching you a lesson. Okay, hurry up and go and do something, I'm starving. ”
The training stopped, there was no need to hurry, Fengyun really made all the food he had made during this period of time according to the requirements of the storm.
By the time they had finished eating, the sun was almost overhead.
"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure. ”
Touching his bulging belly, he stood up with some difficulty: "Yun boy, I'm going back." Do you want to go back with me?"
"I want to stay. Put into practice what I've learned from Uncle Tyrant during this time, after all, I've just been watching Uncle Tyrant hunt all along. ”
"I support your decision. There's a big difference between seeing it and doing it yourself, and it's great that you can understand that. I'll tell you when you come back. Well, do a good job, you must get a good ranking when you hunt in winter, and don't embarrass me. ”
"Uncle Tyrant, don't worry. I'm going to blow everyone's mind. ”
Fengyun looked very confident.
He has reason to be confident.
He hunted gophers and bamboo-eating beasts, and successfully transformed from a layman to a hunter.
Eating the mallet brought him a magical change, which gave him an excellent advantage and laid a solid foundation for him to become a master.
After a month and a half of observation and hard practice by Tyrant's side, he truly completed his journey from an ordinary hunter to a master.
"I believe in you. However, the winter hunt is about to begin, and you won't have much time left. Let me do the math, well, you only have about ten days. After ten days, you must rush back to the tribe. ”
"Ten days is enough. ”
"Yun boy, take out the things you can't use for the time being, and I'll help you bring them back. ”
"There's Uncle Labor. ”
Fengyun walked into the cave and quickly took out a lot of things.
Most of them are brute animal skins, as well as the skins of gophers and bamboo-eating beasts, as well as some other miscellaneous things, adding up, a large pile.
It didn't take long for Fengyun to tie everything up with rattan and turn it into a big bag, three times his height.
"Bring me the spear and the bow and arrows. ”
Storm didn't leave immediately, and asked Fengyun for weapons.
"Uncle Tyrant, you're going to take all the weapons away, I'm ......"
Fengyun showed a look of embarrassment.
Without weapons, if you want to hunt brute beasts, not only will it be much more difficult, but you will also face greater risks.
However, Fengyun still handed the weapon to Storm.
He thought that the violence was trying to make it more difficult for him to practice.
"Take it back. ”
Storm didn't take Fengyun's weapons, but just double-checked them and handed them back to him.
"Uncle Tyrant, what are you?"
"I'm checking the weapon. You've been using them for a while, and they're inevitably damaged, but you may not be able to find some hidden injuries, I'm more experienced than you, so I'm going to take a look at them for you. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Tyrant. ”
"Everything else is fine, but this bow ......"
"What's wrong with this bow?
"It's not bad, it's just that I didn't expect your strength to grow so fast, and now it's too weak for you, and it can't play your strength at all. ”
Storm said as he stroked/stroked the bow body, his eyes soft.
"Uncle Tyrant, do you like bows very much?"
Fengyun noticed the change in Storm's demeanor.
"Of course. At the beginning, I was the number one archery master in the tribe, but it's a pity that ......"
Violent eyes fell on the severed arm of his left hand, and his eyes showed a look of loneliness.
"Uncle Tyrant, in fact, you don't have to be too sad. I've got a way to help you become a master shooter again. As long as the bow is modified, it can be fired with one hand......"
"Cloud boy, you...... You...... Is it true? Didn't lie to me?"
Storm was stunned for a moment, and when he was sure that he had heard correctly, he suddenly became excited, strode in front of Fengyun, reached out and grabbed his shoulders with big fan-like hands, stared at his eyes, his face flushed, and his breath was short.
"Of course it's true. When did I lie to Uncle Tyrant. ”
Fengyun threw his head back as he spoke, and the hot breath hit him in the face.
"Haha...... Great, great...... I'm going to have to show the cubs who is the best archery in the tribe. Cloud boy, quick, tell me what to do. ”
"Uncle Tyrant, you scratched me. ”
It's not good to break free by brute force, and in order to get rid of the grip of the storm, Fengyun decides to tell a lie.
"It's all my fault, it's all my ......"
Storm hurriedly let go of the hand that grabbed Fengyun's shoulder, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm just too excited." You see, I used to love bows and arrows so much, but one day ......"
"I can understand. Uncle Tyrant, I'll tell you the method now, you have to remember it. ”
"You say, I must keep it in mind. ”
Violent nodded again and again, and it turned out to be very well-behaved, which made Fengyun feel the urge to laugh, but he held back.
"My method is to take the bow and turn it into another shooting tool, which I named the crossbow. First, lay the bow flat and combine it with a piece of wood. A straight groove is then carved into the wood for placing the arrows. ”
"The next step is to dig a hole in the back of the wood, put in the crossbow machine, and fix it. There is a hook on the top of the crossbow machine for hooking the bowstring, and there is a trigger on the bottom of the crossbow machine that can release the bowstring when pulled and shoot the arrow out. ”
"Well, the arrow also needs to be transformed, and it should be ...... like this"
According to his memory, Fengyun explained the structure of the crossbow to Storm, and in order to make him understand, he also found a branch, and while explaining, he drew it on the ground, which became more intuitive.
"Yun boy, I thank you, I understand your intentions. ”
"Uncle Tyrant," Fengyun was stunned for a moment, "Why do you say that?"
"Although the crossbow is a modified bow, it is very subtle, and it is definitely not something that can be imagined on a temporary basis. You must have been thinking about it for a long time, right?"
"I know you're all for me, so that I can fulfill my dream of being a master shooter again. I thank you. I will always remember your intentions. ”
"Uncle Tyrant, I ......"
Fengyun realizes that Storm has misunderstood, but he doesn't know how to explain it to him.
