Chapter 31: Making Bows and Arrows, Time is Running Out for Lin Ye
Then Lin Ye came to the bamboo forest he had discovered earlier.
He found that after the rain, many large bamboo shoots had appeared on the ground in the bamboo forest.
But Lin Ye was no longer in the mood to care about these things.
Holding the bear claw, he walked directly towards a dried and yellowed bamboo stalk.
He circled the bamboo with the bear claw twice and cut it down.
Then Lin Ye also cut the bamboo along the nodes into bamboo tubes, each over a meter long.
With time pressing, Lin Ye planned to keep everything simple.
As long as it could be effective in killing, it would be a good bow and arrow.
In this era, most people’s skin was still exposed.
So Lin Ye’s standards for making bows could be lowered again and again.
It was enough to be able to penetrate the beast skins of ordinary wild beasts.
Holding the cut bamboo sections, Lin Ye walked back to the open space and found a stone to sit on.
He began to split the bamboo tubes, dividing them into strips of bamboo.
Lin Ye felt the surface of the bamboo.
He felt the internal grain of the bamboo.
Then he found the most suitable place to split and separate the bamboo strips.
Lin Ye directly cut over a hundred bamboo strips to make the bow body.
Then he cut all the remaining bamboo tubes into small rods for making arrows.
After cutting everything, Lin Ye began to select the bamboo strips that were truly suitable for making the bow body.
Lin Ye picked up a bamboo strip, held both ends, and repeatedly bent and straightened it.
He felt whether the stress points changed in the center when the bamboo strip was bent.
Lin Ye tested them one by one.
Finally, out of over a hundred wooden strips, only thirty-seven were selected that could be used to make bows and arrows.
Then Lin Ye began to trim the ends of these wooden strips.
He slowly thinned and planed the ends of the wooden strips.
Then Lin Ye also cut a small notch at each end, which would be used to attach the bowstring.
As Lin Ye planed the wooden strips one by one.
At some point, Sakura came to Lin Ye’s side.
Seeing Lin Ye busy, Sakura, being sensible this time, did not make a sound.
She just sat quietly beside Lin Ye.
For making the bow body,
The shape and weight of the wood needed to be as symmetrical as possible.
So Lin Ye’s progress was very slow.
The sun was about to set.
Lin Ye had only just finished shaping five bow bodies.
But this task could not be replaced by anyone else.
Without professional instruments, the Beast-eared Girls could not achieve the relative balance of shape and weight.
Lin Ye could only feel it with his hands, relying on the knowledge directly transmitted by the System.
Seeing that the sun had already set.
Lin Ye stopped what he was doing.
It was then that Lin Ye noticed that Sakura had been by his side, accompanying him.
The cat-eared little girl was almost asleep from boredom.
Lin Ye dotingly stroked Sakura’s head.
He had been too engrossed that he hadn’t noticed when Sakura had arrived.
“Ye, what are you doing?”
Seeing that Lin Ye had finally put down the bamboo strips, Sakura happily asked him.
The tension from discovering the Pig-headed Tribe was directly washed away by Sakura’s innocent smile.
Lin Ye stroked Sakura’s head and said mysteriously.
“This is a weapon, a weapon that can protect everyone.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Sakura looked at him doubtfully, tilted her head, and said.
“Ye, what is a weapon? Can you teach Sakura? Sakura also wants to protect everyone.”
“Okay, I’ll teach everyone how to make them later, and Sakura can learn too.”
Lin Ye planned to assign the task of making arrows to the Beast-eared Girls.
Lin Ye had used the wooden spears they made, and arrows could essentially be understood as small wooden spears.
“Really? Sakura can also protect everyone.” Sakura said happily.
Lin Ye saw that several bonfires had already been set up in the open space not far away.
Lin Ye took Sakura and walked over.
The members of the Hunting Team were sitting around the bonfire, all looking worried.
Seeing Lin Ye and Sakura approach, they squeezed together and made room for the two.
After Lin Ye sat down, Shi handed him two pieces of dried meat.
After Sakura took the dried meat, she forgot about everything else.
Lin Ye saw that everyone else looked troubled.
Lin Ye clapped his hands and said.
“Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with that Ganglie Tribe. Eat the barbecue first, and after eating, gather everyone. I need you all to help me make something.”
As soon as Lin Ye spoke, everyone’s eyes lit up.
At this moment, Sakura, sitting beside him, said at the opportune moment.
“Ye said he’s making weapons, weapons that can protect everyone, and he said he’ll teach everyone how to make them. Sakura can learn too.” Sakura squinted her eyes and said happily to everyone.
“Weapon? What weapon?”
“Ye, have you made something again? Can that thing protect everyone?”
Upon hearing Sakura’s words, everyone eagerly looked at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye gestured for them not to be so jumpy.
Then he said, “What I’m making is called a bow and arrow, which can kill enemies who want to invade our tribe from a distance.”
“But this thing requires practice, so we need to make it as soon as possible, let everyone learn how to use it, and then start practicing.”
The Beast-eared Girls by the bonfire didn’t really understand what Lin Ye was saying.
But after hearing that it could kill enemies from a distance.
They still looked at Lin Ye in shock.
