Chapter 212: The Wolf Enters the Flock
After cutting off a small piece of bear leg meat and throwing it to the reserve, he cut off a large piece and placed it around the campfire to roast slowly.
Looking at the coyotes still guarding there below, Ye Xuan said helplessly: "It's really an endless situation, these coyotes have no intention of fading away." ”
He didn't know how long the coyote pack would hold out, but it was certain that the more it dragged on, the more the situation would be unfavorable for him.
The food is okay, this bear has to save some food on its hind legs, enough to last for two or three days, and the key is fresh water. There was no water in the kettle, and there was not much firewood, and if the coyote continued to stay around for the night, it would be difficult for him to survive the cold night without a campfire.
The originally fragrant barbecue is now like chewing wax in your mouth.
After quickly settling breakfast, Ye Xuan looked at the coyote pack below and became even more annoyed, if he had a bow and crossbow in his hand now, he would have killed them all a long time ago.
Wait a minute!
Archery!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ye Xuan's mind. Then he slapped his thigh, and the whole person looked very excited. He can now make a bow and occupy a position of condescension himself. As long as you kill most of the coyotes with a bow and arrow, the rest of them will not be feared.
And he didn't have a shortage of materials at the moment, and the shelter had enough wood for him to use. The spruce tree has a strong and resilient root bark that can be used as a bowstring. The whole shelter was made of wooden sticks, and more than twenty wooden sticks were laid underneath, and as long as he removed some of them, plus the remaining firewood, it was completely enough for him to use.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't wait to start his work, and after selecting a wooden stick suitable for making a bow tire from the firewood, he began to disassemble the rope that tied the wooden bed again.
There are three types of bows and arrows, soft bows, hard bows, and compound bows. The soft bow was characterized by a high rate of fire, a short range and not a strong penetrating power. The hard bow is the opposite, slow but has a long range and strong penetration. The compound bow, on the other hand, combines the advantages of both bows.
In the past, the Yuan Dynasty had a compound bow to crisscross the Eurasian continent. The heavy cavalry of Europe at that time was beaten to the ground.
And a good bow and arrow takes years or even more than ten years to polish. Ye Xuan can only make a handful now, and he will use it. The main reason is that he does not have that kind of superb skills and sufficient materials, and his knowledge and manufacturing process of bows and arrows only stop at the soft bows made when he was a child.
Fortunately, these coyotes were only five or six meters away from him, and the farthest was no more than ten meters. At this distance, even the roughest bow and arrow can do some damage.
The epidermis of spruce roots is a good thing, rich in crude fiber, strong and tough.
Twisting the three strands of rope into one strand, Ye Xuan pulled it with all his strength, and then nodded with satisfaction.
After the bowstring was ready, he held the dagger and began to sharpen the bow tire little by little, while saying to the live camera: "These coyotes don't seem to let me go easily, and it will definitely not work for a long time." My plan is to take the initiative, make a bow and arrow, and use my advantage to shoot the head wolf to death. Once the head wolf in the pack dies, the pack is likely to disperse. ”
Ye Xuan does not pursue beauty now, only pursues practicality. The bow tire in the hand is very poor, try to smooth the surface of the bow tire, take out the prepared bowstring, and tie it firmly to the bow tire.
In just ten minutes, a rudimentary bow and arrow was completed. Ye Xuan tried to pull it, and found that the bowstring was very tight, and the power of the arrow should be very strong. However, the specific effect will be known, we still need to wait for the test firing to know.
Putting down the longbow in his hand, Ye Xuan began to make arrows.
Ten minutes later, 15 one-meter-long arrows were neatly placed next to the longbow. Ye Xuan picked one up, pulled his bow and arrow, and aimed it at a pine tree ten meters away. With a wriggling of the arm muscles, the bowstring was pulled in half. According to Ye Xuan's current strength, he can easily pull the bowstring. But he didn't dare, fearing that the bowstring and the bow tire would not be able to withstand his strength and break.
"Whoosh!"
The wooden arrows shot at the trunk of the tree like lightning with a sound of breaking through the air.
And then the shot missed...
Scratching his head a little embarrassed, Ye Xuan sneered: "Obviously, I just want to find the feel of this arrow." ”
Seeing this scene, the audience began to launch barrage mockery.
"I've never seen such a brazen person!"
"Patriarch this colored pen. ”
"It's embarrassing. ”
"The posture and momentum are perfect, but it doesn't work. ”
"Grass and mud horses, a mouthful of water sprayed on the keyboard. ”
"Good boy, the patriarch started again. ”
"That's too much, isn't it?"
Ignoring the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan picked up a wooden arrow again and pulled the string with a bow.
To be honest, he's not a professional archer, not even an amateur. The only experience I had was the soft bow I played with when I was a child.
In archery, feel and proficiency are very important, and of course, talent is also important.
Seven times in a row, Ye Xuan missed all of them. It wasn't until the eighth time that he finally found his touch, and the wooden arrow hit the pine tree like lightning. Although the wooden arrow was not firmly nailed to the trunk, it can be clearly seen that a piece of pine bark has fallen off at the location where the trunk was shot, and there are also some marks on the trunk inside.
For the power of the bow and arrow, Ye Xuan was very satisfied.
You know, unlike other trees, pine bark is very thick and hard. Wooden arrows can pierce the bark of pine trees from a distance of 10 meters, causing damage to the trunk inside, which means that they can shoot through the fur muscles of coyotes.
After Ye Xuan tested the strength of the bow and arrow, he was not in a hurry to start immediately. Faced with the audience's doubts, he explained: "Don't rush now, coyotes are not bears. I can't go without food for a long time, and I still have enough food to afford them. ”
Sitting on the shelter, Ye Xuan's gaze was locked on the wolf. Because the light had been so dim last night, he had only now noticed that the wolf had lost half of its left ear, and that its right mouth looked as if it had been torn. No wonder the head wolf is so emaciated, such an injury has seriously affected eating.
The bonfire gradually went out, but he didn't dare to add any more firewood, so he could only hold on in the cold wind. The main thing is that his hit rate is too low, and this firewood needs to be saved to make wooden arrows.
After waiting for two hours, the coyotes below finally couldn't help it. The wolf glanced at Ye Xuan coldly, and then howled a few times. Suddenly, ten coyotes stood up and slowly left the place.
Looking at the ten coyotes that had left, Ye Xuan had to praise the discipline of the wolves. These ten coyotes are obviously separated to forage for food. When they are full of food and drink, they will come and change the next batch. In this way, Ye Xuan will be consumed alive on the shelter.
In prehistoric 2 million years, there were too many carnivores that were more ferocious than wolves. Saber-toothed tigers, titan birds, short-faced bears, and other animals at the top of the food chain are wolves in every way. But today, time flies, and in the end, only the weakest wolf survives.
It is because of their social system and hierarchical system that they have been able to survive the long years.
After waiting until ten minutes after the ten coyotes left, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed, it was time to make a move!
Now there are only thirteen coyotes below, and the best outcome is that after shooting the head wolf, the rest of the coyotes will automatically escape. If the coyote doesn't choose to run away, that's fine. The remaining firewood is enough to make dozens of wooden arrows, and there is enough confidence to make most of the coyotes ineffective, and as for the remaining ones, there is nothing to fear.
Ye Xuan slowly picked up the bow, and after putting on the arrow, he aimed at the eyes of the head wolf. Wooden arrows are wooden arrows after all, and due to their material, they cannot penetrate the coyote's hard skull. The best result is a shot in the eye, directly through the brain.
In Chinese folk, there is a saying among hunters that the phrase 'copper head and iron bone tofu waist' describes the wolf. In fact, this sentence is not only about wolves, but also about all canines and felines. Their skulls are the hardest part, while their abdomen is the weakest point.
The beast's sixth sense was very strong, and the moment Ye Xuan aimed at the head wolf, it already sensed the danger. The head wolf sat on his body and hurriedly stood up, wanting to hide behind the wolves.
"Want to go, it's too late!" A sneer hung on the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth, and the fingers that were tightly holding the wooden arrow suddenly let go. Suddenly, the wooden arrow shot at the head wolf with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Poof!"
The sound of an arrow entering the flesh came, and Ye Xuan's arrow did not hit the eye, but deviated 2 centimeters downward. Coincidentally, it happened to shoot in the mouth of the head wolf, and the sharp wooden arrow with great power went straight through the throat.
The force of the wooden arrow knocked the wolf directly to the ground, and the severe pain made it want to scream loudly, but the wooden arrow pierced its throat and could not make any sound. This sudden scene immediately startled the twelve coyotes around. Looking at the blood gushing out of the wolf's mouth and the violently twitching limbs, these coyotes took a few steps back in horror.
"The scene is too bloody, and the audience under the age of 18 in the live broadcast room should consciously cover their eyes. Ye Xuan reminded the live broadcast room. If Ye Xuan kills with one blow, then it's okay. The point is that the wolf is not dead, and the incessant twitching limbs and the blood foam gushing out of the mouth make the scene very bloody. Although it was an unintentional mistake, this is indeed a torture and killing.
There's nothing wrong with surviving in the wilderness and hunting animals to survive. But out of humanitarianism, whether it is a survival expert or an explorer, they will give their prey a happy death. Although there is no explicit rule, most people will follow it. It's not about the law, it's about one's morality.
Fortunately, the audience in the live broadcast room knew that Ye Xuan did not do it on purpose, and they all expressed their understanding.
"I was so scared that the dried fish in my arms fell off. ”
"Hold the grass, it's bloody!
"Dumbfounded..."
"To be reasonable, the patriarch's archery technique is really a vegetable. ”
"Upstairs, it's like you're hanging. ”
"Keyboard warriors can do anything, and they can rule the world with a keyboard. ”
"Generally third in the country, the third place in the men's individual archery event in the 13 Asian Games. If you don't accept it, you can add me as a friend.,I'll send a picture.。 ”
"666, worship the big guy. ”
"Okay, well, it's a loss. There are really many gods in this live broadcast room. ”
The coyotes below the shelter did not scatter and escape. After a short period of fear, these coyotes glared at Ye Xuan above even more fiercely.
Ye Xuan didn't hesitate, he drew his bow and arrows again, aiming at the strongest one of the coyotes below. Wolves are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very intelligent. After seeing the tragic situation of the first wolf, these coyotes saw Ye Xuan raise their bows and arrows again, and fled in all directions.
Within ten meters, the speed of the arrow could not be dodged at all.
"Whoosh!"
The wooden arrow shot out again with a sound of breaking through the air, and the target was the strongest coyote that was constantly changing direction.
It has to be said that such a move by the coyote does have an effect. Originally, this arrow Ye Xuan shot at the eye, but in the end, it was only shot on the hind leg, and the wooden arrow penetrated the fur and was blocked by the leg bone. But even if it didn't die, the coyote's combat power was weakened a lot.
Ignoring the coyote that was wailing on its hind legs, Ye Xuan picked up the arrow and aimed it at the other one. Fourteen wooden arrows were quickly consumed, and after putting down his bow and arrows, he took out his dagger and began to make wooden arrows again.
Eventually, all the firewood ran out, and the result was that 8 wolves were shot and wounded. Not a single wolf died, and this ending did not surprise him. After all, a wooden arrow is a wooden arrow, and the material problem is destined to make it unable to penetrate the hard bones of the coyote, so that it has the ability to kill with one hit.
However, the combat effectiveness of the eight injured coyotes has been greatly reduced, and some of them can't even stand up, and there is no threat at all in Ye Xuan's eyes.
There are only five coyotes left that have combat effectiveness, and in the face of more than a dozen or twenty coyotes, Ye Xuan has no confidence, but if there are only five, with the hunting rhythm, he can solve the battle in a short time.
The first time he fought with the wolves, Ye Xuan's blood boiled. Trying to calm his excitement, he took out the dagger and jumped towards the ground at a height of four meters. The ground in the jungle was covered with soft fallen leaves, which removed a lot of strength.
The moment he landed, Ye Xuan rolled forward, and at the same time, a black light flashed with the dagger in his hand, slashing across the neck of a coyote.
This series of movements had been calculated several times before he jumped, so it was performed smoothly and full of violent beauty.
"One more, four more. ”
When he stood up, the coyote next to him spurted blood, which showed how sharp the dagger was. One coyote fell again, and the remaining four took a few steps back in unison. Ye Xuan came to the side of the head wolf that was still breathing, and kicked the wooden arrow in its mouth fiercely.
Suddenly, the entire wooden arrow was submerged into the head wolf's body, and the head wolf's eyes quickly dimmed at this moment, and finally lost its vitality completely. Ye Xuan is not a pervert, and cruelty to animals cannot bring pleasure, so he ended the life of the head wolf and let it die happily and avoid torture.
After finishing the first wolf, Ye Xuan stared fiercely at the remaining four coyotes. Approaching them step by step, the momentum and killing intent on each step became stronger, while the coyotes involuntarily took a step back.
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room had an illusion of a wolf entering the flock. Ye Xuan is a wolf, and the remaining coyotes are lambs to be slaughtered.
