Chapter 235: The steady Divine Child
Han Cheng looked at the bow in Third Senior Brother's hand, which had a thick middle and slightly thinner ends with a slight curve, and he was pretty surprised.
According to his estimation, even with the fastest progress, it would still take until noon for La to finish making the bow.
Looking up at Third Senior Brother's eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, Han Cheng knew what was going on.
When soone is particularly fond of sothing and, within their abilities, it is possible they will burst out with great enthusiasm, just like Third Senior Brother did.
The bow was made well, even better than Han Cheng had expected.
To make such a bow under these conditions, it had to be said that Third Senior Brother had put in a lot of effort.
Han Cheng took the bow and carefully examined it for a while. Then, he nodded approvingly towards Third Senior Brother, indicating his approval. Third Senior Brother's tired and tense face imdiately broke into a smile.
Afterward, Han Cheng taught him to carve grooves for the bowstring at both ends of the bow using a stone knife. Then, he brought appropriate thickness ropes and had the Third Senior Brother hold the bow while he strung the bow.
At this point, without any cattle, if there were cattle, using cow tendons to make the bowstring would result in a better bow.
Han Cheng thought to himself, chuckling. He was being a bit greedy.
La and several others who made bows and arrows were surprised to see the bow in Third Senior Brother's hand. Most of them hadn't even made half their bows, yet Third Senior Brother had already finished making his bow. The difference was indeed quite significant.
The third Senior Brother pulled the bowstring forcefully and then released it. The bow trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing sound, demonstrating the power of the bow.
His expression beca very excited, unable to contain his desire to go outside and shoot a couple of arrows to test the power of this bow and arrow.
"Let's go try it out!"
Han Cheng also wanted to know how the wooden bow he had crudely made based on the images from his mory would perform.
The sa was true for the eldest brother and the others. After taking the three feather arrows made yesterday, they went outside, covered in white snow.
Only the Second Senior Brother didn't pay much attention to the people who went out. He didn't think the newly made bow would be powerful.
When they went out to test the arrows, he even deliberately took a few stones, preparing to compare with the new bow again.
Han Cheng estimated a distance of about twenty-five ters, drew a horizontal line on the snowy ground with his foot, and then had Third Senior Brother stand here to shoot the arrow.
Twenty-five ters was the distance Third Senior Brother had used for arrow testing yesterday.
Third Senior Brother took a deep breath, nocked the arrow, aid after drawing the bow, and released it with a snap.
"Thud!"
Third Senior Brother's archery did not disappoint. The first arrow did not miss; it was firmly embedded in the tree stump used as a target, causing the stump to sway.
The crowd cheered while the Second Senior Brother snorted and tightened his grip on the stones in his hand.
The wooden feather arrow was firmly embedded in the tree stump, and even after pulling it twice, it still didn't co out. It was Third Senior Brother's handiwork.
The excitent of the crowd was evident.
The distance for the shooting was moved back about five ters, and the Third Senior Brother continued to shoot. The first arrow missed, but the second arrow hit.
The crowd cheered again, and those who, like Second Senior Brother, had thought poorly of the bow and arrow after witnessing it yesterday began to waver in their thoughts.
When the distance was pulled back to sixty ters, and Third Senior Brother shot the feather arrow into the tree stump again, those who doubted this new type of weapon were convinced.
Second Senior Brother pondered montarily, then quietly threw the few stones he held onto the snowdrift. At this distance, it was no longer sothing he could throw with his arm.
Faced with this fact, he had to admit that the bow and arrow were remarkable even if he was unwilling.
Just yesterday, he could easily surpass the bow and arrow, but now, after just one night, he had been far surpassed. This
The ergence of the improved bow and arrow imdiately refreshed everyone in the tribe's understanding of bows and arrows. According to this trend, creating a bow and arrow that could shoot down the sun wouldn't be impossibleso people thought to themselves.
As for the Eldest Senior Brother and the others who received the wood yesterday, were filled with excitent and went eagerly to continue making bows and arrows.
Hei Wa knocked on wood in the room for a while, then suddenly rembered sothing. He put down what he held, left the room, and walked towards the main gate.
The courtyard quickly beca quiet. After a while, Second Senior Brother, who had already returned to his room, ca out. He found the stones he had thrown into the snowdrift not long ago, looked around, and ca to the spot marked sixty ters away. He set a stance, raised his throwing arm high, and exerted force.
The stone flew out, traced an arc in the air, and fell onto the snow.
From here, it didn't look very far from the tree stump, but when he reached it, he found it was still far away. Second Senior Brother felt even more discouraged
"Divine Child! Divine Child!"
Han Cheng stood by the window in the room, lifted a corner of the animal hide covering the window, and watched Second Senior Brother vigorously throwing stones into the snow with so sighs. He could understand Second Senior Brother's feelings at this mont.
Just as he felt emotional, Heiwa's voice suddenly rang out from a distance, filled with excitent.
This guyhit the jackpot? Such joy? He's already a father, yet he's still so unstable.
Han Cheng thought to himself.
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly pulled open, hitting the wall behind it and bouncing back. A figure flashed in from the doorway and rushed into the snow. It was Han Cheng, who had just been thinking about being stable.
Of course, Han Cheng couldn't remain calm because, just now, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Charcoal! Charcoal! Charcoalcompleted"
Han Cheng ran a short distance outside and saw Hei Wa running towards him. Before Heiwa reached him, he saw Han Cheng and shouted.
Han Cheng's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and his footsteps stopped involuntarily.
Charcoal!
It was charcoal!
He didn't know how to describe his feelings at that mont.
"How much was destroyed?"
Han Cheng suppressed his excitent and asked Heiwa, who had rushed to his side.
"Nnothingdestroyedallfine"
Hei Wa was panting heavily, out of breath, but the excitent on his face was hard to hide.
Nothing was destroyed?
Han Cheng's eyes widened instantly.
How is that possible?!
After learning from Heiwa that charcoal was indeed produced, he only thought that this ti, a lot of charcoal was produced. As for the fact that no firewood was destroyed, he didn't dare to think about it in that direction.
Now, hearing Hei Wa say this, Han Cheng beca unbelieving.
"Are you sure no firewood was destroyed?"
"Rereallynothingdestroyed, allcharcoal!"
Heiwa nodded vigorously.
