Chapter 9 Downhill(1/2)
Early that morning, after a simple breakfast, a group of men also packed up the ropes on the basket, took spear, stone axe, wooden stick and bone stick to prepare to go down the mountain to get into the jungle.
Xu Chen put on his vine armor in the woods, carried a quiver, took a longbow, and carried a small back basket specially woven on his back. He also tied a bone dagger with a leather hood and a leather rope around his waist. His messy hair was tied back with a thin rope, and he appeared in front of a group of people in full arms and spirit.
Looking at Xu Chen's outfit, all the tribe members were shocked.
"Chenga, @#¥…"
A group of wild men surrounded him in the middle with excitement, touching and pinching the longbow of the rattan armor and quiver, obviously very surprised.
"Bow!" Xu Chen raised the wooden bow in his hand.
"Bow?" A group of wild men were confused.
"Yega, target!"
Xu Chen turned his head in high spirits and ordered. Ye was excited and ran to the woods to carry out a grass man tied with branches and wild grass vines, and inserted it into the open space in front of the cave.
Looking at this strange thing, a group of savages became even more confused.
Xu Chen signaled the crowd to disperse, then pulled out an arrow from the quiver with his backhand, put the bowstring on it, took a deep breath and raised it and pulled it apart, and let go after a moment.
"Swoosh~"
Amid the screams of everyone, the arrow cut through the bright morning sunshine and stably inserted it into the belly of the grass man.
"grass"
Xu Chen wiped his forehead without any trace.
I was aiming at my head, but I didn't expect it to sag so much, even more than the primitive old lady's breasts.
"Ao~~"
After a brief silence, a group of savages collectively howled and rushed towards the grass man. Looking at the arrows that were still trembling violently on the tail feathers, as if they had seen the latest and terrifying things, they made various strange screams one after another.
A group of children also danced and shouted excitedly, and the scene was full of excitement and mania.
Xu Chen strode up, reached out and pulled the arrow off the grass man, and handed it to the strongest leader.
This guy is named Feng, and his pronunciation is like this, but I don’t know if it was windy when he was born, but he lacked a front teeth and spoke a little bit. Therefore, he speaks slightly differently from others on weekdays and cannot hear clearly.
Feng took the arrow with his hands trembling, his eyes wide open.
He was completely stunned by this strange-style special weapon.
In front is a sharp animal tooth, in the middle is a smooth and straight wooden pole, and two feathers are wrapped around the tail.
He had never seen such a complex and exquisite item making before.
Most importantly, this is a weapon, which is obviously very lethal.
Although Xu Chen was just a demonstration, the distance to shoot the target was only more than ten steps, his power was obvious, which immediately allowed him to see the birth of an extremely convenient and powerful attack weapon.
The same was true for others, rushing over from all around to watch, and their excitement was completely uncontrollable.
They practiced sticks and spears with adults since they were seven or eight years old, and had to go down the mountain to hunt at the age of eleven or twelve. They had encountered all kinds of wild animals and dangerous situations, so life and death were naturally common.
The larger the prey, the more dangerous it is. Even if it is a herbivores, if they are injured and struggle, they will not pay attention to being kicked on a hoof or a corner of the head, they will basically be useless. If they are lucky, they will survive, and if they are not lucky, they will die on the spot.
The best way to hunt is to attack remotely, and you can only throw stones and spears at the moment.
Stones are easy to find, but the attack is not accurate and powerful enough, so they can basically only serve as auxiliary to intimidate prey and have no use.
Although throwing spears is very lethal, it is difficult to make good spears and it is very inconvenient to carry them. Often, several or even more than ten are lost at a time of hunting. And there is no guarantee that they can kill prey. Some large wild beasts cannot be killed without hitting the key points.
In addition, if you want to accurately throw a spear, you need to practice repeatedly, and you also need great arm strength to cooperate. If you want to throw a long distance to hit your prey, you need very strong strength and superb skills.
There are very few people in the entire clan who have such remote throwing and hunting skills, less than five people, and the rest can only cooperate with the soy sauce.
The bow and arrow invented by Xu Chen seem to be very simple and easy to use, and it is very accurate, and it does not seem to require too much power.
After all, Xu Chen is not yet fully grown, and his arm strength is the weakest among the ethnic groups.
But it is this weakness that allows them to see the strength of this weapon.
"Chenga..."
The wind held the arrow and drooled, looking straight at the longbow in Xu Chen's hand.
"Try it!"
Xu Chen readily handed the bow to Feng's hand, and then signaled everyone to retreat from the target position.
So a group of primitive people cheered and dispersed.
Xu Chen took Feng to the position he had just stood, personally demonstrating the process and basic principles of archery. After Feng nodded vigorously to show that he had learned it, he handed the bow and arrow to him again, indicating that he could start.
So Feng was so excited that his hands and feet trembled. He took a deep breath and then used the way Xu Chen looked, placing an arrow and waving his bow. He felt that he could aim and let go.
With a "swoosh", the arrow broke out from the strings. Under the gaze of more than ten pairs of eyes, it flew over half a meter away from the side of the grass man, and fell directly into the woods.
"Ao~"
A group of savages exclaimed collectively.
Although the wind did not hit, the arrows were flying and could not be seen, which made them even more excited and excited.
Don’t be afraid of deviating from the target, but shooting far is really amazing.
This weapon is thin and long, with sharp teeth in front. It will cause damage to prey as long as it hits. Although its power is not as powerful as a spear, it cannot be compared with the use and portability.
Because there are more than ten such arrows in Xu Chen's quiver, if you do enough, it would be better to bring dozens of arrows by one person.
There are more than a dozen adult men in the tribe. If each of them makes a bow and dozens of arrows, the attack power generated will be terrifying.
Although these people are primitive, they are definitely not fools.
Years of hunting experience made them drool at the bow and arrow instantly. Some people looked at the bow in Feng's hand, and some people ran to the woods to look for arrows.
Not enough, before the arrow was found, Xu Chen took out another arrow and handed it to Feng's hand.
As the most powerful hunter in the clan, I was very ashamed of letting go of the wind for the first time. This time I was more serious and cautious. I took a deep breath and then aimed and let go.
"Swoosh~"
This time the arrow was stably inserted into the grass man. Although it was only on the shoulder position, it can be seen that he had basically mastered the key points of archery.
Soon the wind shot the third arrow again, and this time it still hit the target, and it was closer to the center position.
"Yo hoho hoho ho~"
The wind excitedly held the bow and jumped and screamed, like a crazy beast.
"Okay, it's not too late, it's time to set off!"
In awe, Xu Chen decided to blow the lights and remove wax, so that he would not give this guy who was talking and was exposed to show off.
After all, archery is still a job of strength.
Xu Chen can only barely pull the bow three or four times and his arms will become weak. Therefore, every time he shoots an arrow, in order to save physical strength, he always lets go after pulling it away for a short time. In addition, because his body is weak and his arm strength is not strong enough, the bow and arrow are not stable, and will tremble and shake, so the arrow will naturally not be able to shoot accurately.
But the wind is completely different. Apart from being very unfamiliar, he is extremely strong and can easily pull this bow away. He also hunts and throws spears all year round, and has great strength and stability. As long as he masters the key points of archery, the arrow will naturally easily hit the target.
The most important thing is that the distance between the target is very close, and more than ten meters is far from comparable to the distance between throwing spears.
Therefore, it is no pressure for him to hit the target at this distance.
Seeing Xu Chen taking the bow and arrow back, Feng was very sorry and pulled the bow tightly and refused to let go, but in the end, Xu Chen had to let go.
The group of men also understood what Xu Chen meant, sighed in unison with disappointment, and then began to carry a vine basket and get a weapon ready to set off.
At this time, the sun was already very high. Except for a group of men, Mo Ba had already taken the woman down the mountain to collect it, so it did not cause much sensation.
However, Ye and a group of children were reluctant to leave and followed Xu Chen behind and wanted to go down the mountain, but were scolded by a group of men and rushed back.
"Chenga!"
Seeing that the team had already entered the woods, Ye caught up from behind and stuffed something wrapped in leaves into Xu Chen's hand.
Xu Chen opened it and saw that there were a few milk fruits inside and a ball of roasted grains.
"A Qi!" Ye secretly made a sensation move.
Xu Chen was immediately moved, and reached out to touch the messy hair of the leaves and said thank you. He wrapped the leaves back into the basket and then followed the team with great strides.
Soon, accompanied by the roar of roar, a group of people disappeared along the rugged mountain road and went down the mountain road.
...
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost half a month since Xu Chen traveled over.
He had almost figured out the environment near the cave, but the foot of the mountain was still very unfamiliar to him.
According to his observations and understanding of these primitive people on weekdays, their range of activities is actually quite large. Near this mountain and the river beaches at the foot of the mountain are almost their activity territory.
Even based on some simple communication on weekdays, they actually occasionally communicate and communicate with several nearby tribes, but they are not very frequent.
He could roughly guess the reason for the lack of communication, that is, there is not much need.
Because each territory has sufficient food, there is no item that can be traded except hunting and gathering on weekdays, so each of them is in peace.
In this era, the interactions between tribes are more about marriages.
But the water splashed by the married man.
