Chapter 33: The Search for Good Wood
Back in the house, looking at the three people who were a little frightened and shrunk up, Song Xuan asked again:
"Do you know what kind of wood this is?"
This time, the movements of the three of them were surprisingly consistent, and their heads nodded quickly.
Song Xuan didn't rush to let them take him to find it, but instead asked about the situation of the person who was hanged, which was similar to Song Xuan's guess, this person was indeed a small leader of the Black Feather Archers.
As for the bow and arrow, although it was snatched by the black feather from other tribes, the black feather had already completed the absorption and digestion of the technology, because all the people of that small tribe were captured by the black feather tribe, and this tribe was snatched back by the black feather tribe in last year's war.
Due to the difficulty of making bows and arrows, the wood and animal tendons required are not so easy to make, although it took more than half a year, only these five new bows were made.
In order to verify the power of the new bow and arrows, and also increase the chances of winning this trip, the Black Feather tribe also sent several archers this time, and they are the few people in the Black Feather tribe who are responsible for making bows and arrows.
Good guy, the feelings are still served by themselves.
"What about the people who made bows and arrows from the tribe before?"
Several people shook their heads a little frightened, and Song Xuan also understood, it is estimated that he was unloaded and killed the donkey, taught Wu Yu, and killed himself.
Patting a few people on the shoulder, Song Xuan said:
"Do it well, I promise not to kill you!"
Whether they believed it or not, at least Song Xuan would not do such a thing as unloading and killing donkeys, so he led the three of them to the outside of the tribe and asked them to start looking for the trees needed to make bows and arrows.
When he walked to the edge of the forest, he remembered that there were traps all around the tribe, and even he didn't remember the location clearly, so he looked around and saw that Shi Ye was not there, so he called out to him.
Hearing Song Xuan's call, Shi Ye still ran very fast, and ran over quickly, Shi Ye panted and said:
"God...... Oracle, what's ......?"
"Take us out", Song Xuan was also a little embarrassed, but who told the traps around here were too dense, and the route himself only walked once, so he really couldn't write it down.
Seeing that Shi Ye wanted to snicker, Song Xuan became angry and lightly touched his head directly.
"Divine messenger, then they ......," he said, and snorted to a few people.
Song Xuan took out the prepared animal skins and covered the eyes of several people, which was also to prevent them from knowing the safe route.
In this part of the forest, which is thirty or forty meters close to the tribe, every step needs to be very cautious, and the safe route is also to go around and jump.
After walking out of the trap area, Song Xuan took off the blindfolds of several people, pointed to a large forest, and motioned for the three of them to hurry up and find them.
Although several people were coerced and lured by Song Xuan, it was obvious that the desire to survive was still very strong, and while looking for it, they also helped popularize science, and introduced several kinds of trees to Song Xuan in a row, which were all materials that could be used to make bows and arrows.
However, since the primitive society is rich in resources, Song Xuan still wants to use the good materials, and as for the others, they can be kept as backups, which can be regarded as technical reserves.
After searching for a morning, several people found three or four trees near the tribe, and because the thickness was not suitable, only one of them could be directly used to make bows and arrows, and the others needed to be polished repeatedly.
After running all morning in the mountains, there was little gain, but fortunately, there was still progress, and it was a big deal to settle for the second, Song Xuan was quite able to see it, and took out the meat and roasted it.
In addition to working in the tribe, after leaving the tribe, everyone basically only goes back at night, and they make do with eating and drinking.
"Let's eat!"
After the meat was roasted, Song Xuan also asked Shi Yan to give the three of them a share.
The captives of the tribe generally had two meals, one in the morning, then worked until dark, and then ate a meal of broth, and then had to go back to rest.
There has always been no share of them at noon, and looking at the barbecue handed over by Song Xuan, several people were obviously a little flattered.
"Rest the gods!"
Although they have only been here for a few days, they still have to learn the words, and these most commonly used words have also been deeply memorized by them, and it is not good if they don't remember them, after all, if they see Song Xuan or Shi Meng, the captives will not say anything, and they will inevitably be beaten, and they will learn quickly one by one.
I climbed a mountain again, but I still didn't find much, standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, except for the expanding Teng Snake tribe not far away, the rest of the place seemed to be the same as when I came, it was still so lush.
Glancing at the foot of the mountain, Song Xuan suddenly noticed that the trees in that area were a little bright:
"Look, is that one a tree?"
Pointing to the tree that several people were carrying, Song Xuan asked.
"It seems to be ......."
"It's too big......
Almost all of the things I found before existed alone, and now that I see such a large area, many people can't believe it, but do you just need to go and see it, Song Xuan waved his hand:
"Let's go, let's go, let's see!"
When he got closer, even if he didn't need a few people to identify it, Song Xuan could see that this was what everyone had been trying to find the tree, but he didn't expect that there would be such a large area around the Teng Snake.
Seeing so many trees, the three of them were also stunned for a while, after all, the bows of the Wuyu tribe still took a lot of effort to get them back, who would have thought that there were snakes everywhere in Teng.
Several people quickly glanced at each other, they knew the preciousness of this kind of tree better than Song Xuan, and several of them knew this secret, there was a high probability that Teng Snake would not let them go, and now the three of them could only hope that Song Xuan's promise was effective.
"You cut down some of the best ones and bring them home!"
The tree looks like a normal cedar tree, but when cut down, it has a strange purple color in the middle, and according to several people, this wood is the most elastic and makes a bow and arrow more powerful.
After all, in addition to the three captives who came out, there were only three Song Xuan, so they didn't cut too much, and Song Xuan, who chose two trees of the right size, stopped in time, but the captives seemed a little unsatisfied.
Of course, if it weren't for too many difficult to return to the tribe, Song Xuan would also want to get more, but the thing is here, and it can't run away, so it will come back later.
Seeing that Song Xuan had been walking around with the captives for most of the day, he only brought back a few pieces of wood, after all, there were a lot of wood in the tribe, Shi Meng asked with some curiosity:
"Oracle, what is this?"
"You'll know when you make it!"
Although Song Xuan bought a pass, Shi Meng also knew very well in his heart, after all, two of the three people were caught by him himself, "hehe" smiled, and he didn't ask more.
