A Will Eternal Chapter 495
The air shook lightly and crisply, and the sound of the bowstring stretching back to its original position was very pleasant.
"The strength is enough. It is not weak at all compared with the low-pound traditional bow I used in live broadcasts. It even seems to be a little heavier. I am very satisfied with being able to make such a simple bow, but there are still a few things to be desired. As for the fine tuning, I believe that as long as it is well tuned, it will be a good bow.”
After several adjustments, a simple bow that basically satisfies Jia Long was finally released.
"The bow is ready, but I still lack some suitable arrows. Don't underestimate the effect of the arrow. If you think that using only an ordinary wood as an arrow can achieve the effect of a real arrow, that is too much." Superficial, everyone should know that sometimes the effect of a good arrow is not necessarily worse than that of a bow."
Jia Long started to make arrow shafts.
In fact, she said it was difficult, but the actual degree of trouble is still simpler than bowing, at least it is relatively easier.
I saw that Jia Long took a set of relatively straight wood with a suitable length, polished the arrow shaft even more straight, and then found a small stone to sharpen it, then clipped it to the top of the arrow shaft, and tied it with thin vines. The fletching with stones as arrowheads is complete.
"In fact, the top of the arrow can be made of bird feathers to make a good arrow. But we don't have bird feathers in our hands, so we can only wait for the future to look outside. If we can't find it, we can't find it." There is no way, because the arrow shaft without arrow feathers can also be used."
Jia Long also spent half an hour making a ring-like pannier with vines, branches and straws intertwined with each other.
The size of the back basket is moderate, and there are two compartments where you can place arrows while you can rest assured of food and sundries.
A total of twelve arrows that were rushed out were lost, and Jia Long put them in the back basket.
"Finally it's all done..."
In the evening when the sky was slightly darkening, Jia Long, who had just completed the production, ushered in the evening of the second day of the trip to Shennongjia.
But this dusk feels different from yesterday's state of mind.
With a bow and arrow in hand, Jia Long is no longer an unarmed and weak woman at all.
"We're out hunting."
Even in the evening when the dangers increased, Jia Long still became more courageous at this time.
The girl holds a bow and arrow in her hand,
Then take the most straight and smooth arrow, and make a preparation that can be fired at any time.
"The weight of this bow is a bit beyond my expectation, because I feel that it draws more emphasis than the low-weight traditional bows I used before, which means that it has reached at least about 50 pounds. You must know that 50 pounds It is a watershed moment for bows and arrows, such pounds are enough to hunt large and medium-sized prey."
Jia Long walked in the jungle at dusk, surrounded by dense forests that were slowly turning gray.
It's called Lian Gong, but in fact, she is looking to see if she can catch some prey, otherwise not only will there be insufficient food for the journey tomorrow, but even dinner tonight will not be available.
In short, after having a bow and arrow, she became much more courageous.
sand……
The jungle boots with vines instead of shoelaces stepped on a bush, and then a gray shadow was startled, jumping past Jia Long's eyes.
"Hare."
Jia Long's beautiful eyes lit up, and then the bow and arrow, which had been ready to go, aimed at the prey.
She didn't draw the bow fully with this arrow, because hitting a rabbit doesn't require so much force.
As I said before, outdoors, where energy can be saved should be saved as much as possible, because every ounce of energy needs to be exchanged for food.
I saw that Jia Long used a skillful force, stretching his back muscles to pull his bow into a half-moon shape.
Then he shot an arrow at the body of the hare that jumped several meters.
Boom.
There was a sound in the air.
The arrow suddenly pierced into the soil, but it was at least ten centimeters away from the hare's body, and the accuracy was much worse.
"Oh, it really is a self-made bow and arrow, so you can't force it to be accurate."
Jia Long shook his head without any surprise and sighed.
She is not yet familiar with this bow, and even if she is familiar with it, it is impossible to compare with the accuracy of the standard bow.
Not to mention that the bow body of the simple bow is much worse than that of the standard sales bow, and the difference is even greater in the arrow shaft.
If the arrow shaft is not straight enough, and the arrow feathers are not placed to stabilize the flight path, the accuracy will be even worse.
It can float like this for a few meters, and Jia Long's hundred-step piercing Yang stunt can't be displayed.
"Wow, what a pity."
"But the bow can still be used, it's very powerful."
"We almost got it, little Longlong, come on."
Jia Long shook his arm, and said helplessly to the live broadcast camera: "Actually, I have expected the failure of this shot. After all, I am not familiar with this simple bow. If I want to practice it, I need at least a dozen I will feel the arrow later. But this shot just now also let me understand its instantaneous power, it is really heavy, probably more than fifty pounds."
"This is actually a good thing. As long as the bow can bear it, the bigger the pound is, the safer it is for me in this kind of mountain forest. Because bows and arrows less than fifty pounds can only hunt small and medium-sized animals, only the pound More than fifty, there is a chance to hunt and kill large creatures."
"The only bad thing is that it weighs too much. With my strength, it's hard to hold on to a few arrows. Just shooting this arrow made my hands a little sore."
Jia Long shook his arms to relax his muscles.
Jia Long was surprised, it was just a simple bow and arrow, but shooting an arrow made her feel a little sore.
From this point of view, her strength is still a bit weak.
"While we are looking for other prey, we will go to the stream and the rockfall trap we made earlier. I hope we can get something from these two places."
Jia Long walked towards the stream again.
On the way, she noticed movement in the jungle twice, so she quickly drew her bow and set her arrows, but all the arrows missed.
Even an arrow was lost and flew far away, and it might not be possible to find it if you search for it. Jia Long had no choice but to give up with heartache.
The hunting failed, but fortunately, the few traps set in the morning did not disappoint her.
In the gourd-like trap surrounded by river rocks by the river, several palm-sized fish were trapped in it.
The three rockfall traps at the animal path also held two dead rat-like animals.
"Wow, great harvest."
"Don't be surprised, this kind of mountain mouse is edible, and it is much cleaner than the kind of mouse at home."
"Let me see... well, I can see it. Their name is the big wood mouse. It looks very similar to the house mouse, right? In fact, the two are indeed cousins, but this kind of mountain mouse usually lives in forest areas. Relatively, there will be much fewer diseases, but we should also pay attention to hygiene issues when eating."
Jia Long lowered his head, and took down the smashed giant forest jishu from a stone trap.
Throw it in the pannier and she's got ingredients for her first dinner.
"Next is the fish in the stream."
It took another ten minutes to catch a few freshwater fish in the stream trap into the back basket, and Jia Long found that the sky was getting darker and darker.
"Unfortunately, I didn't catch any bigger prey. The small mountain mouse and these small fish are not enough for me to eat tonight. Alas, it seems that I have to hunt while walking tomorrow, which is a waste of time on the road."
