infinite blood core

Chapter 40 Perseverance
Don't look at it as just three arrows, in fact, it has a great impact on the outcome of the battle.

Because one side was unharmed, they were shooting at a distance, while the other side was attrition.

One-on-one and two-on-one on the battlefield are two completely different treatments.

The so-called art of war has a common point in the use of various methods, resulting in a situation where more and less are used, so as to form an advantage in terms of force against consumption.

And Momonga is not an undead, as long as it is a natural life, it has morale.Just like before, Zhen Jin directly solved the leader of Momonga, causing the rest of Momonga to collapse and fled.

The number of archery shots is actually not that much.

Shooting arrows too many times greatly depleted their stamina.They are only temporary archers, and their physical strength should be more allocated to melee combat, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses.

Next, the work of adjusting the bow, needle gold is still handed over to Bai Ya.

Yellow algae and blue-green algae have only a small part of leadership ability, at most they lead the team to charge on the deck of the sea ship.

As for Zhen Jin himself, he doesn't know how to adjust the bow.Not to mention Cangxu and Zidi.

Bai Ya, the son of the hunter, had an ordinary strength. If he hadn't fallen to this island, he would have completely disappeared from the crowd. It was too mediocre.But now in this situation, he can rely on his own talent to shine a ray of light.

For him, this island has great danger, but also great opportunity.

"In the end, my subordinates have too few talents. Those with a little talent, like Bai Ya, can stand out." Zhen Jin sighed secretly.

Bai Ya led a few people to adjust their bows, and of course the rest would not be idle.

The zooxanthellae continue to hunt, the main goal is not to obtain food, but to target those wild birds and harvest feathers.

Cyanobacteria continue to scout around the flying squirrel colony.

Wooden shields and hunter traps are made by people one after another.

There are also hemp ropes woven from bark silk, short ones for bowstrings and long ones for tying, such as the making of shields.The stockpile of hemp rope continued to rise, and these things were inconspicuous, but very practical.

No one can estimate how long they will stay on this island, so things like hemp rope should be kept as much as possible.

According to Cang Xu's introduction, hemp rope has a very wide range of applications.

In addition to its own function, hemp rope can be woven into a net when combined with hemp rope.The net bag can carry things, can form a cloth cover, and can be woven into straw sandals.

Cangsu also got involved, and he provided an extremely rudimentary loom.

This loom uses more than a dozen small wooden stakes inserted into the soil, and the small wooden stakes are arranged in two rows.One of the rows of small stakes is at each other and is held in place with a horizontal stick.

After the small wooden stakes are all wound around the line, dozens of vertical lines are formed in parallel.Lift the stick once, and half of the small wooden stakes are lifted, and then half of the vertical lines are lifted.

At this time, insert the only horizontal line along the raised angle.Then put down the vertical line, one horizontal line and a dozen vertical lines are compacted, and a basic action of weaving is completed.

Repeat this action dozens or hundreds of times, and a piece of cloth will be born.

This loom is extremely primitive, and its efficiency is completely incomparable with the looms in the empire, one on the ground and one in the sky.A person spends half a day of work and can only get a small piece of ass.

But it does save huge manpower and material resources, and the work efficiency is much higher than that of simple labor.

The expedition team members who used these looms to work all sighed Cang Xu's profound knowledge.But Cangsu told them that this kind of loom was actually obtained when he was studying the materials of the orc family.

Compared with the human empire, although the orcs occupy the wilderness continent, they generally exist in the form of tribes, and their living standards and productivity are generally low.This loom is common among the Orcs.

As for Zidi, she is mainly responsible for making poison.Zhenjin clearly told her that she needed a poison that could dissipate naturally, or disappear by boiling, baking, etc.Or simply, even if this poison exists, it is only effective for flying squirrels, and does not cause much harm to the human body.

After all, when hunting flying squirrels with needle gold, it is necessary to obtain food.If the poison is too strong, even if the poison kills these flying squirrels, the flying squirrel's meat cannot be eaten.For the entire expedition team, the loss will be far greater than the gain.

The current environment is extremely rudimentary, Zidi can only try reluctantly, and she made another request-the flying squirrel needs to be tested in vivo.

Needle Gold set off secretly, and spy on the flying squirrel community with cyanobacteria.

Cang Xu stayed in the camp to command and dispatch.

After adjusting the bow, Bai Ya led the crowd to start a test shot.

In the evening, the leaders met again and exchanged their knowledge with each other.

Needle Gold and Spirulina caught three live flying squirrels and gave them to Zidi.

On the other side of the yellow algae, there is no prey. The hunting is not based on combat power, and he also lost some iron arrows.These iron arrows are very cherished, and one less is used.

But they were not without harvest - the Yellow Zao and his party failed to hunt, so they could only go further to try their luck, and they found a small bamboo forest by accident.

Bamboo is an excellent resource, and bamboo with bamboo knots is a natural water storage container.Bamboo can be used to make bamboo rafts, and bamboo can be sharpened to make traps.

On the third day

"Shoot!" Huang Zao gave an order, and many flying arrows flew out.

A dozen crude archery targets were erected 120 steps away.

Concentric circles were also drawn on the target with charcoal fire, but not to mention a few rings, few arrows hit the target.

The ring on the target is a little smaller, similar to Momonga.But in the real battle, everyone is going to shoot flying squirrels, and these flying squirrels will move.

So the result of this kind of archery is really unacceptable.

"Your posture is wrong."

"Keep your back straight and your arms straight."

"Stable, stable. What are you shaking?!"

Huangzao served as an instructor.

He frowned, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart.

In comparison, the number one shooting skill in the entire team is, of course, needle gold.

The second is Bai Ya, this young man's shooting skills are still higher than those of Huang Zao and others.After all, for him, this is a craft that eats all year round and makes a living.

Hunters don't hunt recklessly, it's just a way for them to make a living.Aside from hounds, the trap most used by hunters.Bows are also used a lot.Excellent hunters, when encountering large beasts that they cannot hunt, will choose to give in or withdraw.

Yellow algae and blue algae are good at melee combat. When shooting at a distance, they use crossbows more than bows.They survived on the boat, so they practiced archery on purpose.

The hunting result of Huangzao yesterday was a mess, and today he was arranged by Zhenjin to become a temporary instructor.

In order to save his face, Huang Zao worked very hard.

If you train other people, it is more reliable for yellow algae.Although his archery is a little worse than White Bud.

Bai Ya's archery is more about feeling, pure wild way.

Yellow algae has at least been drilled and knows what the key to archery is.

"You have to do personal assault training first, and then form an arrow screen shooting. Now this kind of archery, the most basic arrow screen can't be set up." Needle Jin inspected the training and saw this situation, he was quite anxious, but He didn't show anything on the surface.

Today, white shoots replace the yellow algae, which are responsible for hunting.The main target is still wild birds, and the exploration team needs more feathers to make nocks.

No one expected him to hunt enough food.

The risk of personal hunting is very high, and the efficiency is actually very low. Most of them are eating by the sky and testing their luck.

Throughout the empire, the life of hunters was actually very difficult.

Therefore, as the saying goes: hunting is not as good as herding, and herding is not as good as farming.

Under normal circumstances, hunters are hungry.Compared with hunters and herdsmen, farmers who cultivate the land have the most stable life and the most guaranteed quality of life.

Hunters seem to have sources of meat, but in fact, most of the mountains and forests are the territory of nobles. Hunters who go poaching without permission will be severely punished if caught.

In this situation, the expedition team can only rely on large-scale hunting to satisfy their own food consumption.

This day's training lasted from morning to night. After eating, the expedition team members were not in the mood to talk and laugh, and fell asleep in their tents.

In the tent of needle gold, Cang Xu had a solemn expression on his face, reporting the current severe situation.

"Lord Zhenjin, we don't have much food. It can be said that we consume a lot of food. If we continue like this, we won't be able to last for a few days."

The needle gold complexion is flat, and the mood is calm.

He himself is very strange about this.In the past two days, his originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.

He adapted to this pressure, but instead comforted Cang Xu: "It is necessary to train archery, this matter must not be urgent, we can only insist on it! Without basic archery, it is useless to start a war rashly. Such hard training will indeed consume physical strength. , so as to increase the consumption of food. But now consuming food and improving archery, in exchange for the reduction of the number of casualties in future battles. This is very cost-effective."

"I understand, my lord." Cang Xu nodded, "It's just that our food is consumed violently. Everyone knows this, and the team members are very worried."

Zhen Jin smiled: "Then tell them clearly how much ration we have left. Even if necessary, let each of them see our food reserves with their own eyes."

Cang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly, "I understand, my lord."

Fourth day

range.

Although their arms were sore and even had obvious swelling, the exploration team members were all serious, gritted their teeth, and worked hard.

They are all aware of the food reserves in the team, and have a very clear understanding of their own situation - now they have to gamble, if the hunt fails, what awaits them is extinction!

Under this pressure, everyone worked hard and tried their best to practice archery.

Although the results of the training in the early stage were unsightly, after everyone got used to it, the situation of the arrow hitting the target improved greatly.

Arrows that hit the bullseye are rare, but most arrows will hit the target.

Seeing that the archery results had stabilized, Huangzao immediately removed the fixed target and replaced it with a mobile target.

These moving targets are short wooden stakes tied with hemp ropes, and the other ends of the ropes are hung from high branches.After pulling up the stake, let go, and the stake swayed under the tree.

Huangzao asked the team members to shoot arrows on the stakes.

The grades immediately slipped and became even worse than before!

No one complains, everyone knows that in actual combat, Momonga's movements are faster than wooden stakes, and the direction is more variable.

Practice, keep practicing.

Every breath is cherished.

During lunch, the team members were silent and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Many people are subconsciously frowning, constantly pondering and reflecting on what they can do to improve their archery.

When resting in the tent, they also tried to do the bow-opening motion, even without a bow in their hands.

After training, the players kneaded each other's arms.

Many people can't lift their arms.Swelling of the arm occurs in all people.

Fortunately, there are medicines provided by Zidi.

These potions are temporarily configured. Originally, the potions were suitable for extraordinary people. Now they are diluted and used on these ordinary team members, and they still have a strong recovery effect.

These medicines are used externally and internally, and after a night of rest, the arm can basically recover.

At dinner, everyone was greeted by a clear soup with little water.

The sporadic wild vegetables seem to be seasonings for decoration.

The players' expressions changed, but they didn't say anything.

Everyone can understand the seriousness of the situation.

"Cang Xu, come out." Zhen Jin's voice came from afar.

"Why is there only this for dinner?" Zhen Jin seemed to be questioning Cang Xu.

"Sir, there is not enough food. We can only do this!" Cang Xu replied to Zhen Jin.

Zhen Jin retorted: "But I remember that there are still some reserves. It's not to such an extent!"

"Sir, those are the only dry food left, for you and Lord Zidi."

"Take them all out."

"grown ups?"

"Take it all out! How can you have the strength to train and fight if you don't have enough to eat?"

This conversation made the mood of everyone who heard it fluctuated, and many people showed a touch of emotion.

"Sir, please let us attack." That night, some team members took the initiative to find needle gold and asked to attack.

But Zhen Jin rejected the request: "Training. You still need more training!"

The fifth day

Train, train, train!

In the evening, the results of the needle gold inspection were gratified to find that five of the ten arrows could hit the target.

The moving target is relatively large, much larger than a real flying squirrel.But this kind of achievement has reached the standard of needle gold.

He has never expected to develop every player into a sharpshooter, which is simply impossible in a short period of time.In fact, each person's aptitude also determines the upper limit of archery.

But the arrow screen can make up for the lack of accurate head.

Such archery can form a qualified arrow screen.

In the afternoon, Cang Xu also came to persuade Zhen Jin: "It's time to attack, my lord."

"Wait." Needle Jin became more and more determined.

This kind of concentration made him feel a little surprised.
