Chapter 37: Bow and Arrow Production Finished!
Susu was startled by Lin Ye’s words.
She looked at Lin Ye in surprise, then hastily moved the barbecue from the bonfire.
Her face turned so red that even her white fox ears were dyed pink.
By then, the sky had completely darkened.
After finishing their barbecue, the Beast-eared Girls returned to their tents in twos and threes.
Lin Ye sat by the bonfire, unmoving.
Sakura, having eaten two pieces of barbecue, was so full that she leaned against Lin Ye, holding her stomach.
In the end, only Xing, Lin Ye, and Sakura were left by the bonfire.
Lin Ye patted Sakura’s head, telling her to return to her tent first.
Sakura nodded obediently and walked back to her tent on her own.
Then, Lin Ye turned to Xing and said with a smile.
“If you don’t say it soon, I’m going back to sleep too.”
Xing looked at Lin Ye in surprise, not understanding how Lin Ye knew she had something to tell him.
This made Lin Ye seem even more mysterious in Xing’s eyes.
She even felt that Lin Ye could see through other people’s thoughts.
“Your expression clearly shows you have something on your mind. Anyone can see it. Is there something you can’t let others know?”
Lin Ye said with a chuckle, looking at the startled Xing.
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Xing lowered her head, seemingly unsure how to start.
“Is it about the Pig-headed Men?”
Seeing Xing’s demeanor, Lin Ye asked again.
“Ye, I’m very worried about Mingyun. I’m afraid they’ll be captured by the Pig-headed Men, but I don’t want everyone to go to war with the Pig-headed Men because of me.”
Xing said these words painfully.
On one hand, her former best friend.
On the other hand, her tribe members with whom she spent every day.
Ever since Xing saw Mingyun with bloody feathers that day, she had been unable to put the matter out of her mind.
But she couldn’t allow the tribe members to be in danger because of her.
Seeing Xing’s dilemma, Lin Ye smiled, shook his head, and then said to Xing.
“Xing, even if Mingyun wasn’t your friend, we can’t just stand by if we discover traces of the Pig-headed Men.”
“I can’t allow such a big threat to remain around the tribe. So, we will have to deal with the Pig-headed Tribe sooner or later.”
“Moreover, I saw that day that the Pig-headed Men didn’t catch up to your friend. Don’t worry. Once everyone learns to use bows and arrows, we will go deal with the Pig-headed Tribe and then find a way to locate your friends.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Xing’s expression gradually relaxed, and she smiled and said to Lin Ye.
“Ye, thank you.”
After speaking, Xing, with a blushing face, got up and ran towards the cave.
Lin Ye watched Xing run under the moonlight and smiled, shaking his head.
The hearts of these Beast-eared Girls are all very pure. They suffer because they fear others will be in danger because of them, and they worry when they know their friends are in danger.
But once explained, their moods would turn a hundred and eighty degrees.
It’s as if no trouble stays with them for too long.
Especially Sakura, she never seems to have any worries, except for eating unpleasant things.
Lin Ye lay on the ground, looking at the bright moon in the sky, a smile gradually forming on his lips.
Then, Lin Ye looked at the moon and began to perform his daily sign-in.
“System, perform daily sign-in.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successful sign-in, you have received: Points * 100.”
“Points again.”
“System, when will the shop be activated?” Lin Ye asked.
“Ding! Please, Host, do your best to improve the Civilization Level. When the Civilization Level meets the requirements, the System Shop will automatically activate.”
“Fine, it’s like you said nothing,” Lin Ye muttered after hearing the system’s explanation.
The bonfire’s flames had died down, leaving only a few pieces of firewood emitting a faint red glow.
Lin Ye got up from the ground and walked towards the tent by the moonlight.
Halfway, he encountered the Beast-eared Girls who were assigned to night watch by Xing earlier.
After greeting them, Lin Ye returned to the tent.
Sakura had already fallen asleep.
As soon as Lin Ye entered the tent and lay down,
Sakura snuggled into Lin Ye’s arms in her sleep.
She only quieted down when Lin Ye held her, mumbling a few times unconsciously, still wearing a smile on her face.
Lin Ye smiled helplessly, and then fell asleep holding Sakura like this.
The next morning, Lin Ye carried two ox horns and went to check the traps again.
However, this time, the traps had not caught any prey. The camouflage at the entrance was still intact.
Lin Ye shook his head and returned to the tribe.
On the way back to the tribe, Lin Ye made several small snare traps using vines.
He did this by tying a vine into a circle and placing it on a game trail, then tying the other end to a tree.
When an animal passed by, its head would go through the circle first. If it continued to walk forward, its body would block the circle, tightening the vine and catching the prey.
However, such traps couldn’t catch the beasts here that weighed hundreds of pounds.
They could only be used to catch small prey.
Lin Ye returned to the tribe with no catch.
The Beast-eared Girls were already up and making arrow shafts.
Lin Ye also continued to make bow bodies.
He had already made twenty-five bow bodies.
There were thirty-two people in the tribe, including Lin Ye.
Making seven more bow bodies would be enough for the tribe members to use.
However, Lin Ye, to be safe, completed all thirty-seven bamboo strips.
After stringing all the bows, Lin Ye called all the Beast-eared Girls over.
