Chapter 307
"Don't think about it. This big tree controls a range of more than 100 meters. If you don't have the speed of a musk pig, it is impossible to even approach it. Moreover, the tree has a violent temperament. If someone makes a ill-thinking plan on its trunk, its huge root system underground may suddenly hurt people, and the range of it can reach hundreds of meters. In the entire prairie, only the musk pig can approach it. Even if a colorful shell insect weighing dozens of tons approaches it, it will be hanged by countless vines..."
Looking at Zou Zichuan's fanatical gaze, Aom immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Zou Zichuan.
"Is there a bow made of tree trunks in the world?" Zou Zichuan asked a very direct question. If so, it means that humans have a way to deal with this murderous tree.
"Yes!" Oppe replied with certainty.
"Um?"
"In fact, it is easy to cut down a big tree. Hundreds and thousands of people hold sickles and cut them randomly. After cutting off the big tree, the problem will be solved. However, this kind of cutting is strictly prohibited by the mainland. Although the eighteen countries are fighting now, they strictly implement the convention. On the mainland, every big tree has a record, and every high-level bow is also registered. If anyone cuts off the big tree, the eighteen countries will jointly want criminals..."
The two of them were chatting while rushing to the colorful shells and insects nest.
It turned out that humans cut down a large number of such man-eating trees hundreds of years ago to make longbows and armor, and the man-eating trees were almost extinct. People realized that this uncontrollable cutting would make humans lose this excellent natural bow and arrow material. In this way, the mainland began to legislate to protect the man-eating trees.
A bow is a composite bow made of a variety of materials. Its production process is complex, with a wide range of materials used, and the workmanship and material selection must be based on the appropriate season and climate.
In ancient Earth, because of the cheap materials, bamboo was one of the most extensive materials for making bows. The bamboo was chosen for bows, which was thicker and durable. Usually, the method of hitting the bamboo to listen to its sound was clear and solid to evaluate the quality of the bamboo. It is best to use bamboo that has been dried for a year after harvesting. Bamboo with uneven thickness at the upper and lower ends or insect eyes in the middle cannot be used for bows.
As a bow, the selection of ox horns is much more expensive than bamboo. One bow requires two ox horns, and buffalo horns with a length of more than 60 cm should be selected. Moreover, the ox horn bow is not only much more expensive than bamboo, but also uses much smaller people. Ordinary people cannot pull the ox horn bow at all.
In addition to bamboo and horns, metal bows gradually appeared. Because the metal bows are more elastic and durable, metal bows gradually replaced some ancient materials.
Zou Zichuan's Sun Shooting Bow is a metal bow. In fact, Zou Zichuan has always suspected that there should be a miniature energy field similar to nuclear fusion inside the Sun Shooting Bow. After the human mental power and external power have reached a certain level, it stimulates the nuclear energy inside, triggering energy that can destroy everything.
The specific amount of energy released may be based on the strength of the body to stimulate the device. Houyi of ancient times was able to shoot nine arrows in a row and shoot nine satellites surrounding the earth. This may be a legend. Zou Zichuan even believed that the nine stars were a certain aerospace weapon that could emit hot light. Some ancient people mistakenly thought it was the sun...
However, no matter what it shoots, there is no doubt that Houyi is definitely a master of bows and arrows. Zou Zichuan was exhausted when he shot an arrow and could not move. Houyi shot nine arrows in a row, which shows his courage.
Whether it is bamboo, horns, or metal bows, it is rare to use tree trunks to make bows.
From Opp's mouth, the older the man-eating tree, the tighter the wood, the stronger the elasticity, and the darker the color.
This kind of good bow made by trees is smooth as a mirror, as dark as ink, and heavy in wood. It is said that it can penetrate objects five hundred meters away. However, an ordinary bow has a range of 300 meters and an effective range of only 150 meters. Compared with an ordinary bow, the advantages of this bow are obvious.
However, although good bows are good, not everyone can use them. First of all, good bows are about two meters long, and people who do not have considerable arm strength or height cannot use them at all. Now the long bow in Opp's hand is two meters long, and it is carried on his shoulders, which is several heads higher than people, which shows how difficult it is to use them.
...
From Opp's mouth, Zou Zichuan also learned that in addition to putting trees to death, anyone can cut down branches. However, cutting down branches is too dangerous. Moreover, since the branches of a man-eating tree can be made into longbows, it can be seen that their toughness is very dangerous and difficult to cut down.
It is said that after the catastrophe of man-eating trees hundreds of years ago, humans regarded this tree as a treasure gifted by God and no longer dared to cut it down easily. Now ancient trees on the entire planet are bookmarked and have special departmental monitoring, so people can restrain themselves, just like not hunting corpses.
However, it is worth mentioning that because the quality of the bow is good and the loss is not large, a good bow can be used for hundreds of years or even thousands of years. Therefore, although the bow is precious, it is not as rare as it is rare. Instead, the consumption of arrows is particularly large, and there are much more people poaching corpse birds than those who steal and eat.
Of course, poaching corpse birds is much lower than cutting human-eating trees, which is the main reason.
A big tree can deal with hundreds of men and cannot get close to them at all. However, the corpse birds have a natural fear of humans and will not attack humans at all. They can shoot and kill them as long as they find the right opportunity. Therefore, although there is a heavy rule of law, when the rate of return is as high as a few hundred%, the law is just a joke and cannot curb the poaching of corpse birds.
Before they knew it, the two had returned to the insect nest station.
"dew……"
More than 30 meters away from the insect nest, Opp, who was carrying the musk pig on his back, shouted happily. He knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was covered by Zou Zichuan. Zou Zichuan made a move to silence him, and then suddenly pulled Opp hard.
"Swoosh..."
"Swoosh..."
Two sharp sounds of breaking through the air.
"Bang!" Zou Zichuan and Opp fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp arrow hit the musk pig on his shoulders, and Opp lay in the grass and felt a chill of his back. If Zou Zichuan hadn't pulled him, his head would have been shot into the opposite end.
"Have you shot?" A low voice sounded from the dark hole.
"I heard the sound of falling to the ground, but there was no scream, no bloody smell... Huh, there was a musk pig..."
...
The voices of conversation between the two people came from the huge hole. In the darkness, the two figures were observing the hole vigilantly, and their bodies were hidden in the irregular concave and convex wall of the metal cave.
Ruth!
Suddenly, Opp's brain heated up, his blood rushing, and his body was about to bounce. However, he did not succeed because a strong hand held him tightly...
Under the moonlight, Zou Zichuan stared at Opp's eyes with deep eyes. Looking at the bright eyes, Opp inexplicably felt a strong sense of security.
Time and space seem to have solidified.
Zou Zichuan and Op lie in the grass and remained motionless, and the two people at the entrance of the cave were also motionless. The grassland was so quiet that it was suffocating. Only the breeze blew on the deep grass and made a "brushing" sound. However, this sound did not have a sense of comfort, but a sense of silence.
The three-headed ghost leopards in the distance sat up, poked their heads and watched around them, and their ears kept opening and closing. Obviously, they also felt the unstable factors in the air.
Time passed minute by minute.
Neither side moved.
Now is the time to test both sides' patience.
Finally, the people inside the cave were a little impatient.
"We didn't shoot them to death. I think it's better to notify the Lord..."
"Aren't it just two poor people? Is it necessary to tell the Lord?!"
"Ahem...that's..."
"Let's go and have a look."
"But……"
"But what? If we kill them, we can still frame them, that is, they were caught by us by hunting corpses. Hehe, the Lord must be happy. He said earlier that the brothers were enjoying the beautiful girls in it. We will deal with them earlier, and maybe we can get a share of the pie, hehe..."
"All right."
In the darkness, two voices slowly moved over. Although they were talking in their mouths, their bodies were very careful. They were obviously a person who had been through the battlefield for a long time.
Twenty meters!
Ten meters!
Sweat on Opp's forehead was flowing wildly, and his heart was beating violently. If Zou Zichuan's hand had not always held him down, he would have jumped up to fight for the two of them.
What made Opp most depressed was that his beloved bow was now in Zou Zichuan's hands. Apart from one bow, he was a dagger made of bone, which had no advantage for his current environment.
The other party is two first-class archers. In this long-distance battle, the dagger is like killing him.
Now, the only hope is that both sides are approaching the sneak attack, but...
Opp's eyes couldn't help but fall on Zou Zichuan. Although this man was full of strength, his body was not quick enough, and his archery skills were average...
When facing bows and arrows, strength is the most useless!
Zou Zichuan held an arrow in his hand, but he did not intend to use the arrow. He held a black dagger in his right hand. The black dagger reflected a strange light under the moonlight, like a ball of black mist. Zou Zichuan held an arrow that was 80 centimeters long in his left hand. This arrow was the arrow in the Opp quiver.
"Click..."
There was a sound of a bow pulling open.
Zou Zichuan did not wait any longer, because, even though they were in the grass now, they were exposed to each other's eyes. Suddenly, Zou Zichuan kicked out of the musk pig, and the musk pig was kicked up in the air and hit the two people hard...
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Two sounds of breaking through the air, two arrows actually shot through the musk pig's body, bringing out a bloody rain, the sound was extremely amazing...
