showdown!I enjoy life on the island

The dried python tendons were smashed bit by bit into white fluffy fiber bundles.

A whole big tendon saved me a lot of effort...

If the ribs are short, you have to connect them piece by piece...

In this case, I may not be able to finish this bow today...

Xu Le straightened out the fluffy fiber bundles while thinking.

He stripped two strands out of it, rubbed them with his fingers, and the distinct fiber bundles were entangled into a dense single strand.

Repeat the action just now, and the fiber bundles separated from the whole python tendon will be twisted into such a thin tendon line.

The three strands of the thin tendons are overlapped and twisted around each other.

After more than half an hour, a python tendon rope with half the thickness of a finger was produced.

The python tendon rope was more than one meter long, so Xu Le grabbed both ends and pulled it.

"Python tendons are extremely strong, so twisted into a rope, it will be even stronger."

Under the forceful pull, the formed python tendon rope did not move at all.

"Perfect."

At this time, the snake oil has also been brewed.

"Give you……"

Lin Xihan pinched her nose and handed over the liquid gurgling in the shell.

The liquid gave off a not-so-pleasant smell.

After warming the snake oil in the air, Xu Le directly dipped the oil with his hands and spread it all over the python tendons.

With his movements, all the nodules on the surface of the rope were smoothed out.

The rough python tendon rope has become a smooth and tough python tendon bowstring.

The dry surface of the bow was also smeared with snake oil.

Xu Le painted it while baking it on the fire.

"This is to make the bow tasty and convenient for us to braise in the next step." He explained.

"To stay resilient just say..."

Lin Xihan raised her pretty eyebrows slightly, and sneered at the words of this man who was full of trains.

Seeing Xu Le's eyes, she looked back without showing weakness.

"I'll do that too!" she declared, puffing out her chest.

You are old and you are right... Xu Le remained silent.

The bow, soaked in oil, gradually darkened in color and became smoother on the surface.

Press lightly, and there is a completely different toughness from before oiling.

It can provide about fifteen kilograms of pulling force... The things on Bermuda are not ordinary...

The toughness of black currant branches can only be regarded as average...

Xu Le was amazed.

"Resilience can go even further."

As he spoke, he took out the python tendon that was drying.

Thin sliced ​​python tendon does not require much processing, just heat it slightly until it sticks to your hands, and then stick it on the back of the bow with snake oil.

The bowed body, which is neatly attached to the python's tendons, looks scrawny, like the skinny limbs of some kind of animal, exuding a strange beauty.

Grease again, then dry...

After repeating this three times, Xu Le's two-finger-thick black currant branch can be fully grasped by him now.

Elasticity has also been greatly improved.

Now it's about 20 kilograms... That's a fifty-pound bow...

Enough is enough... I'm just a frail scholar... No matter how heavy it is, I won't be able to pull it anymore... Xu Le thought.

He used a stone knife to cut out grooves at both ends of the bow's back, and then tied the dried python tendon bowstrings into the grooves.

The bow is 1.2 meters long, and under the pull of the bowstring, it bends in the opposite direction, forming a powerful arc.

He flicked the tight bowstring with his fingers, and the bowstring vibrated, making a low buzzing sound.

Holding the bow close to the camera, Xu Le showed the freshly baked longbow in all directions.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"It's so beautiful... This curve... This angle... Slip..."

"Brother Xu Le has produced such an excellent bow in such a short period of time, I am convinced!"

"I really want to see the anchor use this longbow to hunt and kill prey!"

"However... the use of a bow is still a test. Will Mr. Xu Le use a bow?"

"..."

Chapter 58 Arrows

"Weapon proficiency?"

"Well... Compared with general-purpose tools, weapon mastery skills are more focused on making weapons that emphasize hunting performance."

"Of course, it also allows me to use a new weapon directly and proficiently."

"Using weapons for hunting has also been greatly enhanced."

"The system is so strong..."

"No...Although I made a bow and promoted to be an old hunter, I am still a hero who takes the intellectual route."

"Animal domestication and trap making are my core skills..."

"Follow the choice of the heart, and don't be rough if you can."

Lin Xihan saw Xu Le talking to himself, and shook his hand in front of his face.

"Bewitched? The bow is ready, don't you prepare some arrows?"

Uh... I just decided not to be rough...

Xu Le hesitated for a moment, feeling that what Lin Xihan said made sense.

Needless to say, the key is to wear a bow and arrow, so handsome!

The same is to use black currant branches, choose one finger thick and light weight.

Peel off the skin and bake it straight.

A fissure is broken longitudinally at the tip, which then inserts a triangular shale flake.

The stone flakes were polished to be sharp and regular, and after being installed on the arrow shaft, they were bound with python tendons for a week to fix them.

It's a pity that there are no feathers... Xu Le looked at the bare arrow tails and sighed.

Without feathers as tail fins, an arrow would basically float randomly when fired.

But you can use thatch instead...

Xu Le cut the blades of the thatch into long square strips, and then broke the arrow tails, carefully clipped the thatch in, and adjusted the angle.

"Let's make do with it."

Xu Le put a simple arrow beside the longbow and made a bow-drawing motion.

Lin Xihan's eyes brightened.

"It's quite professional, your bow-drawing action."

No... When you saw me making bows, didn't you think of this? Xu Le replied flatly: "I understand."

Toolcrafting skill doesn't level up... weapon mastery doesn't either...

As expected, the arrows are just consumables attached to the bow...Xu Le confirmed in his heart.

In the same way, eight more arrows were made, making up an auspicious number, Xu Le rolled up the snake skin that was stripped off in the morning, and tied it on Bajie's back.

"Let's go, go and soak the snake skin in running water to wash off the residual fat on it, so that it can be tanned in the next step."

Then I can upgrade the material processing skills...

"Oh, by the way, the lake where I took a bath yesterday is also over there, you can also take a bath..."

Lin Xihan narrowed her eyes.

"...You can also soak your feet."

Xu Le sensibly replaced the last word.

"Riding a pig?" Lin Xihan asked, clasping her hands together and holding them up so that they were deformed and heavy.

"Ah... how about that?"

Xu Le squinted at her, "How about you walk over by yourself?"

"Forget it, I'll ride a pig..."

Lin Xihan nodded reluctantly, "You go first, and I'll be behind you."

Tsk... small-minded... Xu Le complained.

Go pig!

Xiao Hei, who has been sleeping since morning, turned into a golden-brown lightning bolt and landed on Ba Jie's head.

Xu Le felt that when Xiao Hei came up, Ba Jie trembled all over.

Scratching its claws and scratching its eyelids made this 350-kilogram wild boar feel lingering fear.

There was a light fragrance tinged with sweat, and Lin Xihan also rode on the wild boar's back.

Snapped!Xu Le slapped it down.

"Bajie, let's go!"

"...Why don't you move, Bajie?"

"You slapped my leg!" Lin Xihan's shy and angry voice came from behind.

Xu Le felt the hairs on his back stand up one by one.

"I said why is it so soft... no... Hurry up and move!"

He rubbed a handful of bristles, and Bajie strode into the woods before Lin Xihan lost his temper.

The trees turned into afterimages and swept back.

Bajie, who had regained his strength, carried two people on his back, and his speed was still extremely fast.

……

"That's where the truffles are dug..."

Xu Le pointed in the direction of the forest and said, "Further ahead is the place to collect black currants."

"Continuing forward is the lake, but today we will go downstream to process the snake skin. If you want to see the lake, we will come back later."

Lin Xihan just wanted to say "no need" reflexively, but she opened her mouth and swallowed the words back.

Anyway, I don't take a shower... Just go and have a look... She thought.

After Bajie galloped through a bush, a head with disheveled hair protruded from the bush.

"Thighs! Big...legs..."
