Although the treehouse is not large, there is no furniture in it, and it can't even be lit on fire, but for the other party, it is comfortable enough and safe, and it can store food in the upcoming rainy season.
Their sense of well-being has increased and their motivation to work has been greatly increased.
Fang Jinyan also took this opportunity to continue to explore the volcanic lake area with everyone, hoping to find more resources and food before the rainy season comes, after all, the rainy season may last for several months or even half a year, and it will be much more risky to explore unknown areas at that time.
Perhaps it was because the land was so fertile and so rich that they could at least harvest a little bit every time.
Here they found a bamboo forest, found a banana tree, but unfortunately there was only one, and there were too few and found ginger Even at the very least, they can pick up a few nests of eggs These eggs are a great source of protein for them, and when cooked over the fire, they taste delicious.
Sometimes they will also find snake eggs, which are also put in the fire and taste good The snakes have eaten them, and there is nothing they dare not eat about snake eggs, let alone snake eggs, even if they are dinosaur eggs, they dare to eat them.
However, if you want to say that the most delicious taste, it is still the deer meat, this sambar deer weighs 150 kilograms, and Fang Jinyan caught it by setting a trap.
It's not a complicated trap, it's just to set up obstacles to change the route first, and then chase the sambar, in the case of being chased, it will only run along the route with the least obstacles, and the result is that it crashes headlong into the encirclement, and then Fang Jinyan blinds it with a flying knife, and finally everyone works together to kill it Although in this battle, Zheng Chen was slightly injured and was hit by a blind sambar deer, but the injury was not great, and with such a rich harvest, they enjoyed a sumptuous dinner very happily, under the baobab tree Because the tree house is also small, they can't make a fire, so they have to make a fire underneath to cook, which is nothing, anyway, it has always been like this.
In addition to obtaining a large amount of delicious venison, they were also given a deerskin and four extremely tough deer tendons.
Because this is tropical, there is no need to consider using deer skin to make leather clothing, which will only heat to death, and the previous roe deer skin has made a pair of hollow real "leather shoes" for Zhao Lan, so they decided to dry this deer skin for later use.
However, the deer tendon is very useful to the other party, and he plans to use it to make a bow.
Not the kind of complex modern bow, of course, but the simplest and most primitive one.
The simplest and most primitive bow has only three parts, the bow arm, the bowstring and the feather arrow, in the case of the requirements are not particularly high, the bow arm and the feather arrow are not difficult to make, after all, there are layers of forests everywhere, and it is not too difficult to find the right material.
However, the bowstring is a bit troublesome, there is no naturally occurring plant fiber to meet the requirements of the bowstring, so Fang Jinyan thought of using animal tendons to make it, because the ancients used cow tendons to make it, and the effect is quite good.
So he had tried the boar's tendon before, but found that the effect was very poor and could not be used at all, and this time, he tried the deer tendon again, and the result was significantly better Of course, this is only the most primitive and rudimentary bow and arrow, don't expect the power to be much stronger, let alone more guns or crossbows, even compound bows are far from comparable But for Fang Jinyan, it was enough, at least temporarily.
As we all know, compared with the crossbow, the power of the bow and arrow depends largely on the skill of the bearer, and its advantage is that the rate of fire is faster but the power is insufficient, and the crosshair is not easy to control.
But this is not a problem at all, the super brain's strong prediction and control ability can make him almost every hit in any projection As for the power, as long as you can hit the vital point, then you don't need that much power at all Just like the throwing knife he throws now, in fact, the real kinetic energy is not large, but every time it can ensure that its sharpest point hits the target's most vulnerable eye, so it is still a very effective means of attack And if he used a throwing knife to stab the boar in the head or body, it would definitely be useless Of course, other people can understand this truth, but the problem is that they can't point where to hit like Fang Jinyan, and almost every blow can hit the vital point So the bow may not be of much use in the hands of others, after all, there are not even metal arrowheads, and they are made of sharpened bamboo and hardwood But in Fang Jinyan's hands, he can exert great power.
The first time Fang Jinyan took it on hunting, within an hour, he shot down twenty-two partridges, each of which was pierced through the most fragile point of the neck So while Zhou Rong and others feasted on their mouths, they gave Fang Jinyan the nickname "Partridge Terminator".
In fact, he can kill the birds here with a single arrow.
However, for mammals, it is not so easy, Fang Jinyan shot a Malayan tapir in the butt, but it still escaped However, Fang Jinyan was not too disappointed in this, because he cared more about his deterrent power to humans than the lethality of animals, and he believed that as long as he had this bow, anyone would be afraid of him.
Because even if he can't kill with one blow, no one wants to be blind, besides, as long as the other party doesn't deliberately protect his throat, he still has a chance to kill with one blow, and an arrow pierces the throat, this extremely difficult archery, he can easily do it To be honest, Fang Jinyan has not had a sense of security during this time, because he has lost his original physique, natural ability and superpower, even if he still has a super brain, he does not have much advantage against ordinary people, if there are many people on the other side, he can beat and kill him, and in the face of fierce beasts, he has no good chance of winning And now, with the deer tendon bow, his ability to protect himself will be greatly increased The rest of the people on this island should all have more lethal ranged weapons, so his advantage will be very large.
Zhang Hongbing, Zhou Rong and others saw that Fang Jinyan was so good at bows and arrows, and they also wanted to try, but where did they have this talent, they took the same bow and arrow and shot at the lake for several hours, but they didn't shoot a single prey This made them deeply affected again, the same people, why is the gap so big And at this time, the rainstorm is coming.
A humid gale descended on Doji Island without warning, bringing a lot of rain for a whole day, then stopping for a few hours, and then half a day, stopping for half a day, and continuing to fall It was so intermittent that it lasted for a month The water level of the volcanic lake has skyrocketed, submerging a large area of the shore, and the lake has expanded by at least half The raging waters of the lake overflowed from the gap and roared down the hill.
Fang Jinyan and the others hid in the tree house, looking at the violent flood outside, both happy and frightened.
Thankful because they now have a safe place to live, and have plenty of food reserves, they don't have to go out and take risks, but they are frightened because of the tyrannical weather, which makes them feel very uneasy, they feel that they are too vulnerable in front of the forces of nature, this time they are prepared to escape, what to do if they are not prepared next time And they are also worried about those people under the mountain, although they have conflicts with Mu Tielong and his group, but others still have a good relationship with them.
"With such a big flood, it must have been flooded over there, they don't know what to do," Zhou Rong said worriedly.
She naturally thought of her cousin, who was reluctant to come no matter how much she persuaded Zhou Ping at the beginning, and persuaded her to stay too "Who knows, leave them alone, when we left, they didn't care if we lived or died, and they didn't want to give us anything."
Zhang Hongbing said.
"You don't have to worry too much, the flood doesn't rise all at once, they find that the situation is not right, they will definitely move by themselves, there should be no threat to life."
