Section 412

It is a kind of low shrub.

The leaves are sparse.

The branches are covered with various white spots.

It is so dense that it gives people goose bumps.

"Brothers, look what I found."

The next second.

After the drone camera was aimed at the yellow hibiscus, Lu Yu squatted down and introduced it to the audience:

"This is the yellow hibiscus."

"It is widely distributed in the South American continent and the Pacific Islands. It is dense, easy to dry, and quite heavy. This kind of wood looks like it can only be used as firewood, but in fact it is not. It is also a good choice to make arrows with it."

"Until now, some Maori natives still use this wood to make arrows for hunting. Before coming to Olidia, for the needs of live broadcast, I visited the original natives of Fiji Island and asked them for knowledge of island survival."

"At that time, I saw with my own eyes a Maori who used such a wooden arrow to shoot a jumping hare to death with one arrow... So, don't underestimate it. This kind of tree is deeply favored by the Maori people-"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The words fell.

Lu Yu immediately picked up the stone axe and started chopping.

It didn't take long before he cut off seven or eight branches of similar size and length.

Then, Lu Yu took out the rope he had prepared in advance, tied the branches into a bundle, and carried them all back to the camp in one breath.

The branches of the hibiscus wood are very straight.

After peeling and polishing, it can be turned into a wooden stick with a little processing, which is definitely a good material for making arrows.

So, as soon as he arrived at the place, Lu Yu started working again.

The process is still the old routine.

First peel the skin with a stone knife.

Then polish it with a reef.

Soon, all seven or eight branches were processed into arrow bodies.

Lu Yu took out the stone knife and cut a notch at the end of each arrow that could fully accommodate the bowstring.

Doing so can not only effectively prevent the arrow from dragging when drawing the bow and shooting.

It also helps to exert the maximum power of the bow and arrow.

Let the arrows shot out fly faster and farther.

Then.

After modifying the tail of the arrow, the remaining thing is to grind the arrowhead.

Because there are no bones and iron tools suitable for making arrowheads.

So Lu Yu can only find another way.

"If you want to improve the lethality of wooden arrows, it is best to use bone and iron arrowheads, but unfortunately, I don't have these two materials at hand now."

"So, we have to think of another way."

As he said, he picked up the arrow shaft, slowly walked to the campfire and squatted, and then continued:

"Then-"

"Under limited conditions, how can we make the arrows play their due power? In fact, this is not difficult. We can use fire to carbonize the arrowhead to increase its hardness and sharpness."

"After carbonization, the arrowhead of the wooden arrow will become harder and easier to polish. When there is no suitable arrowhead to install, the destructive power of the uncarbonized arrowhead is at least two levels lower than that of the carbonized one."

After sitting on the ground, Lu Yu raised an arrow shaft.

Put it on the fire for smoking.

The temperature of the charcoal fire is very high.

In just a short while, the arrowhead began to turn black and smoke.

Then, more than ten seconds passed.

When the flame completely ignited the arrowhead, Lu Yu immediately blew out the flame and put it on the reef to grind it.

The carbonized yellow hibiscus is easier to grind.

After two or three times, the wooden arrowhead became sharp.

Seeing this, Lu Yu tried it with his thumb.

He picked up the second one until he felt it was almost done, and so on.

Soon, he grinded it again and again for a long time.

Eight arrows were finally made.

He lined up these arrows in front of him and picked up one at random.

After focusing the lens, he explained softly to the drone:

"It's basically done after grinding it like this."

"Don't think that this is a wooden arrow, and you will have a preconceived notion that the lethality will be greatly reduced. In fact, this is not the case. The carbonized arrowhead is no less powerful than the bone arrowhead."

"We just caught a turkey today. We will pluck some chicken feathers to make arrow feathers, and then use the rabbit skin that has been dried before to sew a quiver. That's basically it."

"But don't rush these. Let's try the power of the hunting bow first!"

After speaking, Lu Yu took off the hunting bow from his back, picked up an arrow, and came to a place seven or eight meters in front of the hut.

After getting into the shooting posture, he immediately drew the bow and put the arrow.

In front of the camera, Lu Yu's eyes were fixed on the dried fish hanging on the eaves.

"Brothers, do you see the first dried fish? Now, imagine it as our prey, and then--"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu's right hand decisively released the bowstring!

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the bowstring, which was full of power, instantly ejected the wooden arrow.

It flew towards the first dried fish on the eaves.

Whoosh!

After the sound of breaking through the air,

followed by another muffled snap!

When the audience looked again, the sharp wooden arrow had hit the fish exactly!

"6666666666!"

"Random arrow technique?"

"Accurate!"

"666, so cool!"

"Fuck, this Ashe's ultimate is so accurate!"

"Too awesome, isn't it?"

"As expected of a man who has surpassed his limits, he can actually urinate so accurately?"

"Ding! Green Arrow possessed!"

"Protect our ADC!"

"Romeo and Chocolate presents the anchor Fish Balls × 9999 -- Yu Shen, do you want to play in a duo? I'm a very stable support!"

"Love Since Ancient Times, Empty Regret presents the anchor Super Rocket × 1! -- Isn't this a sniper bow?"

"Selling Love 丿 presents the anchor Energy Drinks × 10! -- He can shoot a bow and arrow with his bare hands, it's really awesome!"

At the same time.

In addition to Douyu TV, the foreigners in the overseas live broadcast room were all amazed by Lu Yu's skills.

They all gave their gifts.

Looking at the barrage, Lu Yu laughed:

"Brothers, did you see it?"

"This is the difference between a wooden bow and a bamboo bow. Not only is the accuracy guaranteed, but the power is also not to be underestimated."

"The only flaw is that the penetration of the arrowhead is very poor. Of course, there is nothing we can do about it. Under the current conditions, it is already good to be able to reach this level."

"I'll improve it when I have a chance in the future."

As he said that, Lu Yu still felt unsatisfied.

So, he shot all the remaining wooden arrows.

Finally, 4 out of 7 wooden arrows hit the target.

I have to say.

The wooden bow is really powerful.

It feels great.

It is definitely not comparable to the soft bamboo bow.

"My Meilie is just a semi-finished product made by hand. It is basically qualified to have this hit rate. It is more than enough for hunting."

The recurve wooden bow made by hand is definitely different from the professional compound recurve bow.

There is no sight.

There is no arrow side pad.

There are many shortcomings.

But for Lu Yu, these are not a problem.
