Chapter 38: Formal Archery Training and Fast Progress for the Beast-eared Girls
The Beast-eared Girls heard that all the bows were finished.
They rushed to Lin Ye’s side, scrambling to be first.
Looking at the large pile of newly made bows on the stone.
All the Beast-eared Girls widened their eyes in disbelief!
“Ye, did you make all these bows by yourself?”
“Ye, are those bows for us?”
Lin Ye looked at the eager Beast-eared Girls.
Without saying much, he just emphasized that they couldn’t draw the bow without an arrow and couldn’t shoot at others.
Then, he gave each of them a bow.
Upon receiving their bows, all the Beast-eared Girls cherished them, wiping them down.
After distributing the bows, Lin Ye had people gather a large pile of dry grass.
He then made about a dozen straw dummies.
Though called straw dummies, they were essentially just crosses made of dry grass.
After all, this world had no rice and no true straw.
After setting up the straw dummies on the ground, Lin Ye began to teach the Beast-eared Girls how to shoot.
The bows made by Lin Ye were very light, and since the Beast-eared Girls were usually active, they could easily draw the bows.
Lin Ye had already tested them and found that the bows were sufficiently lethal.
At least, wild beasts and Pig-headed Men without armor wouldn’t be able to withstand them.
Lin Ye divided them into groups of three, with each group aiming at a straw dummy.
Lin Ye began to individually correct their postures.
Then, he had them shoot, using arrows that had no arrowheads, specifically designed for training.
Watching the arrows fly from the bows in their hands, the Beast-eared Girls finally understood how arrows were shot.
“Wow, the arrows fly from their hands.”
“It’s so amazing, whoosh, and it flies away.”
“Did you see that? In the blink of an eye, the arrow flew into the sky.”
In the beginning, the Beast-eared Girls’ shots were all over the place. Some flew directly into the sky, while others landed on the ground.
Even more outrageously, one hit Lin Ye.
Thus, Sakura became Lin Ye’s teaching tool.
Whenever Lin Ye needed to demonstrate a movement, he would use Sakura as a prop to strike a pose.
The Beast-eared Girls seemed to have a great talent for archery, improving rapidly.
After learning the proper posture, their accuracy rate increased steadily.
Starting from ten meters, their shooting distance gradually increased.
They all practiced until the sun was about to set.
Most of the Beast-eared Girls could already hit the target accurately at fifty meters.
However, one Beast-eared Girl encountered a problem.
It was the Milkmaid Girl, A Lian. Due to the remarkably large size of her chest,
the bowstring would hit her chest every time she drew and released the bow.
Seeing that the other Beast-eared Girls could already accurately hit the straw dummies,
A Lian was on the verge of tears from anxiety and looked to Lin Ye for help.
Lin Ye was stunned by this problem and covered his forehead.
This was a problem he had never heard of before. It seemed that being too large wasn’t always a good thing.
In the end, with no other recourse, Lin Ye personally showed her a method of holding the bow horizontally to shoot.
Although this method was more difficult, it was much better than being hit by the bowstring every time she shot.
Moreover, that method wouldn’t allow for accurate shots.
All the Beast-eared Girls practiced very diligently.
Not a single one complained about being tired from beginning to end.
Even Sakura gritted her teeth and continuously drew and shot her bow.
When Lin Ye finally said that they would stop for the day.
Several Beast-eared Girls collapsed onto the ground, their arms too tired to lift.
Lin Ye insisted that all the Beast-eared Girls get up and stand properly.
Then, he led them in stretching exercises,
otherwise, their arms would be too sore to lift the next day.
After stretching, the sun had completely set.
Although the Beast-eared Girls’ bodies ached all over.
Every single one of them had a happy smile on their faces.
Lin Ye looked at the exhausted Beast-eared Girls.
He went to an open space and started a bonfire using a fire-drilling technique.
Then, he called the Beast-eared Girls over for barbecue.
Night soon fell, and several bonfires lit up the open space in the tribe.
The Beast-eared Girls discussed their practice while barbecuing meat, their other hands reluctant to let go of their bows, holding both the bow and the meat.
Xing and the other members of the hunting team had slightly better physical fitness than the other Beast-eared Girls.
Therefore, after a day of training, they appeared a bit more relaxed than the others.
Sakura, on the other hand, was already extremely tired, and it was difficult for her to even hold a branch to barbecue meat.
The situation for others was similar to Sakura’s, but everyone was happy.
Thinking that they would soon be able to protect everyone with the bows and arrows in their hands.
A sense of strength surged from within them.
After eating the barbecue, Lin Ye was on a stone, grinding the tail of an ox horn.
What was originally an irregular bone was ground by Lin Ye into a handle shape, just right to be held by hand.
After finishing their barbecue, the Beast-eared Girls, their bodies weary, returned to their tents to rest.
While grinding the ox horn, Lin Ye also completed his daily check-in.
He received points from the check-in.
However, there was still no sign of the system shop opening.
It seemed that the Civilization Level gained from teaching the Beast-eared Girls to use bows and arrows was not enough to open the shop.
After finishing the ox horn handle, Lin Ye carried Sakura back to the tent.
Sakura, exhausted from the day’s training, fell asleep in Lin Ye’s arms.
The next morning, Lin Ye was awakened by the sound of archery outside.
He came outside to see.
The Beast-eared Girls were already at yesterday’s practice spot, exercising early.
With a turn of his head, Sakura also crawled out of the tent, holding her bow while rubbing her eyes.
Seeing that everyone else had already started practicing.
She quickly ran over.
Lin Ye smiled helplessly. The Beast-eared Girls’ enthusiasm was more than he had expected.
After a simple wash of his face, Lin Ye this time asked Xing to accompany him to check the traps.
This was because Lin Ye had set up several more simple snare traps yesterday.
So, he brought Xing along to show her the locations.
Xing was initially a little reluctant, as she wanted to continue practicing archery.
However, upon hearing that Lin Ye was going to take her to check the traps.
Xing happily followed Lin Ye.
Before leaving, Lin Ye also asked Xing to bring arrows with sharpened arrowheads. If they encountered any prey on the way, they could try hunting with bows and arrows.
After all, the Beast-eared Girls had only been practicing against stationary straw dummies.
In a real combat situation, the enemy wouldn’t stand still waiting to be aimed at.
