Chapter 83 Picking Bowwood
"How about it?"
With a flash of white light, the white snake appeared on Fengyun's arm, with its head held high, looking into his eyes.
"Great, great, really great."
Fengyun immediately praised repeatedly.
"Hmph, now I know how good I am? I have always been good. Since I was born, I have never been defeated by anyone."
The white snake raised its head even higher.
"It's hard work. Would you like to eat some?"
Fengyun Tanshou took out a fist-sized bird's egg from the basket behind him, and shook it in front of the white snake.
The White Snake's gaze immediately followed his hand, no, it was the bird egg in his hand that kept moving, as if it had some magical power that firmly attracted its gaze.
"for you!"
Fengyun tossed it lightly, and the bird's egg flew towards the white snake.
The white snake leaned forward, and the bird's egg disappeared out of thin air.
"Well, not bad, delicious. The taste is very special. In the future, we must find more eggs of this kind. Yun, do you know what bird's eggs these are?"
"I don't know. There are so many birds in the forest, how could I recognize them all?"
Fengyun shook his head again and again, don't say he really didn't know, even if he knew he wouldn't admit it.
Finding bird eggs is a relatively cumbersome task, and it will be even more troublesome if you have to find the eggs of a specific bird alone.
"what a shame."
The white snake was a little discouraged, but it soon became happy again, because Fengyun took out a few more birds' eggs from the basket and put them in front of it.
After eating the bird's egg in Fengyun's hand, the white snake felt that it was not enough, so he jumped into the basket and started to eat.
Fengyun sorted it out, and walked towards the spider forest with his spear in hand.
He didn't take the way of going straight forward, but went around a big circle before walking in.
Right in front of him were the stumps and body fluids of the spiders killed by the white snake, so he didn't want to have any contact with them.
Walking into the forest, especially the area where the spider webs were originally, a wet and sticky feeling came from both feet, and Feng Yun couldn't help frowning slightly.
He hates this feeling.
He regretted a little, why didn't he take the time to get the shoes out.
People in the Yan Snake Tribe don't have shoes, they are barefoot all year round.
In winter, people will stay at home and not go out. Except in winter, the ground is covered with heavy snow, there is no way to collect food, and hunting is difficult. Another reason is that there are no shoes.
According to the information Fengyun got from the original owner of the body, the winter here is really too cold.
Even if the physical fitness of the totem warriors is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and their resistance to cold is not comparable to that of ordinary people, it is still unbearable for them to walk barefoot in the ice and snow, and they will suffer from frostbite.
Of course, the primitive people of the Yan Snake Tribe didn't know how to protect their feet.
If they had to go outside, they would wrap their feet in animal hides and tie the hides around their feet with ropes.
However, this way of keeping warm has great disadvantages, it is inconvenient, and it will also affect their flexibility of movement, and the warmth retention cannot be guaranteed.
Fengyun has already made a decision.
After collecting the bow-making materials and inspecting the hunting ground, he went back and took some time to try to get the shoes out.
According to the memory of the original owner of the body, the winter here came very suddenly. When a strong wind blows, not only the temperature will drop rapidly, but also heavy snow may be called.
However, during the winter hunting period, it rarely snows. Often, as soon as the winter hunting is over, the snow will fall into the ground one after another.
In one day, or even half a day, the snow on the ground can easily cover the children's heads.
Fengyun feels that this situation is not accidental,
It should be the result of Wu's careful selection.
The start time of winter hunting was determined by Wu, and the end time was also determined by him.
He was able to ensure that there was no snow or very little snow during winter hunting. It should not be based on guesswork. In other words, the time he chose was well-founded.
As for what he relied on, Feng Yun didn't know, but this did not hinder the mystery left by the witch in his mind.
Walking in the slippery forest, Fengyun's attention was not distracted, on the contrary, he was very concentrated, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Although all the spiders he saw were killed by the white snake, but with so many forests, who can guarantee that no fish slipped through the net.
If a careless fish is bitten by a fish that slipped through the net, it will be a shipwreck in the gutter.
Fortunately, he made it all the way to his destination without seeing a single spider.
The color of the tree standing in Fengyun is very special, showing a strange purple.
The cuticle is smooth, to even see any obvious protrusions, it's very straight, straight and straight.
Fengyun believed his eyes.
He can assure you that even if you measure it with a ruler, you may not be able to make an object as straight as it.
Purple tree, also called bow wood, the former is the name given by the people of the Yanshe tribe when they first saw it, and the latter is the name they gave it after they discovered that it can make bows.
Now people call it bow wood, but the name purple tree is rarely called by people.
Fengyun stretched out his hand and grabbed Yugi.
The bow wood is not thick, and the thin one is only about the size of a finger, and the thick one generally does not exceed the mouth of a teacup.
Cut them into suitable lengths, after simple processing, tie the bowstring, a bow is enough, it is very simple, which is the fundamental reason why bowwood is very popular among hunters.
The bowwood in front of Fengyun was about a circle thicker than an egg.
If the elasticity is large enough and the deformation is relatively uniform, it will be a good material for making bows.
Fengyun grabbed Yugi and pulled it in front of him.
He immediately felt strong resistance.
"good."
Fengyun nodded, showing a satisfied expression.
According to the hand feel, the bow wood made by taking it back is definitely much stronger than the bow that Bao made for him, that is, the one he is using now.
Fengyun didn't cut off the bowwood immediately, but grabbed it and exerted force in different directions, making it bend in all directions continuously.
This is the method Baojiao taught him to choose bow wood.
A good bow, no matter which direction he deforms it, will not make any sound.
If it makes a sound during this process, even if it is a very slight sound, it is unqualified.
If this unqualified bow wood is taken back, even if it is forced into a bow, the service life will be much shorter, and there is still a certain chance of breaking.
The bow wood in front of Fengyun passed Fengyun's test, but he didn't cut it off immediately, but pulled a handful of grass, stuck it on it, and made a mark.
The more things he experienced, the more Fengyun respected the legendary snake god, and he paid more and more attention to the witch's warning.
No matter what kind of resources are obtained, one should not be too greedy, which will lead to their demise.
Fengyun actually quite agrees with this point of view, even if there is no snake god, he will not ignore Wu's warning.
Maintaining the integrity of the food chain and sustainable development are environmental protection knowledge that everyone knows before the storm passes through.
Facts have also proved that doing so does bring great benefits.
It was also because of the influence of this kind of thinking that Fengyun decided to cut down the bow wood this time to limit the number, as long as there is enough.
But he seems to have forgotten that he just killed the spider army.
It can be seen that the rules that people are willing to abide by are beneficial to themselves, otherwise, they will be ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
After some selection, Fengyun finally determined the target.
There were three trees in all, not including the first one that passed his inspection, he found a better one.
Through observation and comparison, Fengyun found that even bowwoods of the same thickness are quite different, and good elasticity may even be several times worse.
In order to choose a good bow wood, in addition to testing their elasticity with your own hands, there is also a very practical method, which is to observe their color.
The color of good bow wood will be darker, but this kind of darkness is not dim, but a kind of deep, as if it has experienced the precipitation of years.
Fengyun pulled out the Wangshouya Knife and started cutting. During the process, he felt resistance and the rebound of the bow wood against the blade.
Fengyun was more satisfied with his choice.
With the sharpness of Wang Beast Yaknife, Yugi's performance is enough to show that they are indeed very good.
Three, it seems a little less, but in fact it is quite a lot.
Each of them is more than two feet long, and there are far more than one bow that can be made.
Even if the quality of the place farther away is worse, the bow made will not be bad, at least in the eyes of the flying hunters in the tribe, they are all salivating good things.
They don't have the ability to wipe out the entire army of spiders. They came to the place where the bowwood grows and carefully selected it.
In the past, if they wanted to obtain the bow wood, they needed cooperation. Some of them were responsible for diverting away the spider army, and some of them rushed to chop it.
Even if their quality is tested, it is extremely hasty, and getting good bows depends more on luck.
After cutting off a few thin vines and tying up the bow, Feng Yun walked out of the forest with his hands, walking very quickly.
The damp feel of the forest made him uncomfortable.
After leaving the forest, Fengyun didn't immediately complete the task assigned by the witch to inspect the hunting grounds, but went to search for traces of wild beasts and prepared to feast on them.
When he came out this time, he brought a lot of seasonings.
It didn't take long before he got his wish, and he also shot three kinds of prey, one was bird, the other was rabbit, and the other was deer, all of which had good meat quality and good taste among wild beasts.
While dealing with the prey, Feng Yun suddenly had a question in his mind.
The resources of the Snake God Mountain are quite rich, there are a lot of wild beasts, and there are also a lot of wild beasts, but why is there so little meat in the Yan Snake Tribe, so why is it so precious?
Not to mention the other hunters, he has seen Bao's hunting ability with his own eyes.
If he wanted to, he alone could provide the tribe with a lot of meat, but he didn't do so. Even when there was a famine in the tribe, he didn't go hunting with all his strength, which made him very puzzled.
"If you have a chance to ask Uncle Bao, you will know."
Fengyun quickly put this problem behind him, and began to concentrate on disposing of the prey in front of him.
