Chapter Eighty-Seven: Upgrades
For the next period of time, Fengyun did not go anywhere, and followed the storm to concentrate on polishing spears and javelins and making bows.
Thanks to the help of the king's fang, the sharpening of the spear and javelin went smoothly.
However, Fengyun did not make the hearts of all the mutant ancient trees into spears and javelins.
Two spears were polished, and more javelins were made, making a total of eight.
Fengyun tested their power and was satisfied.
Whether it's a spear or a javelin, it can easily pierce rocks.
Fengyun has also been tested with brute animal skins, and it can be easily penetrated, unless it encounters a brute beast of the Blue Lagoon monster level, it can cause considerable lethality.
It didn't take much time to polish the spear and javelin, and with the help of Tyrant, it only took less than two days.
On the contrary, it was bow making, which took a longer time.
Before making the bow, Fengyun tested the strength of the severed bow wood, but was not too satisfied with them.
It is undeniable that bow wood is indeed a good material for making bows, with good elasticity and uniform force, but the power of Fengyun is too great.
If he exerted all his strength, they still couldn't bear it, and this was still if he didn't have the power to urge the totem, otherwise, it would be easy to pull it off.
Fengyun decided to find a way to solve this problem.
He didn't go back into the forest in search of better materials, not because he didn't want to, but because it was useless to go.
He once asked Tyrant: "Uncle Tyrant, in addition to bow wood, do you know any other good materials for bow-making?"
"Yes, there are quite a few. ”
"Really, are they better than Bowwood?"
Violent answers made him excited.
"Better than Yuki? No, at least I don't know. ”
The violent answer poured cold water on Fengyun.
Storm is already the oldest hunter in the tribe, and he should also know the most about the situation of the Snake God Mountain, and he said that if he doesn't, he shouldn't have it.
Unable to find a better material for making a bow, Fengyun did not give up the idea of strengthening the bow.
He started searching his mind for relevant content, and he actually got something.
Compound bow, that's how he found the solution to the problem.
The other materials are bonded together with the bow wood, and the adhesive is already available, which is the glue made from the sharp horn pigskin.
The rest is the choice of materials, and this question is not difficult either.
He solved it quickly.
He had heard of horned bows and bull horn bows.
Whether it's horns or other horns, Fengyun is not hard to obtain.
There are quite a lot of species of brute beasts in the area of the Snake God Mountain, and there are several kinds of bull-like brute beasts alone.
Fengyun told Storm what he thought.
Storm immediately gave support, and went to find Wu, and got a lot of horns.
At first, I was inexperienced and wasted some horns, but when I became proficient, the results came out.
The combination of bow wood and horn actually increased the bow power by more than half on the original basis.
For a bow of this strength, Fengyun is finally quite satisfied.
Without urging the power of the totem, he already needed to worry less about pulling it off.
Success was in the front, and the storm was also touched and chose to copy.
He was ready to replicate the successful experience of making bows into crossbows and increase its strength.
After Fengyun contributed a bow wood, Storm was a complete success, and the crossbow's attack power was more than doubled.
With the guy at his fingertips, Storm began to practice.
At this time, Fengyun finally realized that Storm was not bragging, and he was telling the truth to him before.
Faced with a relatively unfamiliar shooting tool like a crossbow, Storm quickly got started, and his shooting accuracy increased rapidly.
In just a few days, he had almost reached the point where he could shoot and shoot arrows.
What shocked Fengyun the most was that when Storm was using the crossbow, he actually felt a feeling of human crossbow being one, as if the crossbow had become a part of his body.
Fengyun himself has been practicing shooting for a while, and knows how difficult it is to reach this level, and even hard work alone is not enough, and it also requires extremely strong talent.
There is no doubt that Storm has such a talent, and the level of talent is still very high, otherwise it would be impossible to use another unfamiliar tool to reach this state again in such a short period of time.
This is a good thing for Fengyun, it means that he has a good teacher.
Storm is dedicated to cultivating and teaching Fengyun, as long as he asks questions, he will always answer them in detail, and he will personally demonstrate until he fully understands.
Fengyun asked Storm for advice on shooting skills, but Storm did not have the slightest reservation and taught him everything.
Fengyun has benefited a lot, and archery has improved significantly in a short period of time.
At the same time, Fengyun also understands why Storm values the crossbow so much.
Crossbows are easier to use than bows.
Becoming a qualified archer requires years of practice, and crossbows, once you master how to use them, can get started immediately.
With a little practice, a crossbow will have a certain accuracy, while a bow, without a long time of practice, it is very difficult to shoot at the target.
The crossbow has very low requirements for the user, and can be used by the elderly, weak, women and children, as long as the trigger can be pulled, and the force of the trigger can be adjusted.
Bows, on the other hand, are very demanding on the user, and in order to be a good archer, they must have excellent qualities, especially strength, stability, and mental qualities.
It is very difficult to have all these qualities at the same time, and there may not be one in ten people.
The archer's attack is also far less continuous than the crossbowman's.
Continuous opening of the bow will put a great burden on the archer's body, especially the arms, and it will be difficult for even strong archers to maintain continuous attacks.
Crossbows do not have this problem, because the strength of the bowstring does not depend on human strength, as long as it is hung on the hook of the crossbow machine.
Of course, it takes a lot of effort to pull the crossbow string, but you can use the strength of your whole body, and the burden on your body is much less.
In addition to this, the winch can also be used to reduce the required force.
The winch was inadvertently proposed by Fengyun, but Storm gave unprecedented attention and asked again and again.
Fengyun didn't have a very clear concept of the winch, and he didn't introduce it much in the documentaries he had watched, but he still knew what it looked like and how it worked.
After some research, the winch was born, used, and the crossbow string was easily hung on the hook of the crossbow machine.
"The winch and the crossbow are simply a perfect match, with it, it is completely possible to increase the strength of a tribe several times. ”
This is a violent pair of winches, but also an evaluation of crossbows, extremely high evaluation.
Fengyun thought about it, and combined with Storm's comments on the crossbow, he also felt that he was not exaggerating.
Originally, the main source of a tribe's strength was totem warriors, but not everyone could awaken, and being able to become a totem warrior was a minority after all.
And with crossbows and winches, ordinary people in the tribe, even old and weak women and children, can be turned into terrible killers.
Even if the crossbow has the disadvantage of slow attack speed, as long as it is coordinated, the person is divided into several groups, and the attack is carried out in segments, which can be completely compensated.
Due to the large number of people who can use crossbows, the density and intensity of attacks will not decrease even when performing segmented attacks.
As long as you have enough crossbow arrows, whether you are actively attacking or counterattacking, it will be a nightmare for the enemy.
"This is the cornerstone of the rise of the tribe, with them, why worry that the tribe will not be able to rise again and regain its glory. ”
For crossbows and winches, Wu also gave a very high evaluation.
Wu promised Fengyun that he would definitely record his contributions to the tribe for future generations to admire forever.
For Wu's words, Fengyun did not doubt it.
Although the Flame Serpent Tribe has no writing, Wu still has a way to do this, such as drawing his deeds on the rock wall through drawings.
On the third day of building the winch, Fengyun heard the sound of Dangdang's metal knocking.
He knew that the winter hunt had finally arrived.
He took his spear, javelin, bow, and arrows, and hurried to the stone house where the witch lived.
When he arrived, there were already many people gathered in the open space in front of the stone house.
When the people saw him coming, they dodged away and made way for him to go ahead.
The news of his powerful power had spread among the tribe, and it had been spread by those who had followed him to transport the Black Wolf Beast.
At first, people were skeptical, but when they saw so many black wolf beasts, especially the dead black-backed bear, they all believed it.
Actions speak louder than words.
Besides, there is no need for those people to lie, because it is a lie that will eventually be exposed.
Without the obstruction of the tall soldiers, Fengyun saw the situation in the middle of the clearing clearly.
The totem pole that had been in the witch's room had been removed and placed in the middle of the clearing.
Wu stood next to the totem pole, his expression solemn, not a word.
The warriors who gathered seemed to be infected by him, and they all stood quietly, and those who came after them also consciously remained quiet.
Fengyun looked around, and found that it was not only the warriors of the tribe who had gathered, but the others had also rushed over, but they consciously distanced themselves from the warriors and watched from a distance.
They also had serious expressions, even if they were children, they did not play and make noise, and the whole tribe fell into a kind of solemnity.
When everyone had arrived, Wu finally made a move, glancing around at the warrior in the clearing, and nodding to a young woman beside him.
Her name is Luo, and she is considered Wu's apprentice, but Fengyun rarely sees her.
She spends most of the year living in the Medicine Valley, where she manages the Medicine Valley and makes medicines.
Most of the medicines used in the tribe, especially wound medicine, came from her.
She carried a wooden plate, on which were placed three things, one was a large jade bowl, and the other was a knife.
Judging from its appearance, it should also be polished with teeth, and Fengyun can also see that its material is excellent, not even lower than the king beast tooth knife that Tyrant gave him.
Luo took the lead in front of the storm, and the storm detective picked up the tooth knife next to the jade bowl.
