Go Through the World of Beasts and Be a Stick - Chapter 86
While the orcs were looking for the entrance to the sea again, Wen Lie took out the drawings for making the horn bow and studied it. The main raw materials were animal horns, wood, stones and animal skins.
The horns are used as bows, the stones are used as arrows, the hides are used as strings, and the wood is used for details.
He happened to have all these things.
The so-called improvement should be the adjustment of the guide based on the materials available to him.
Because the other horn bows in the reward are made of metal arrows, the same as Miu’s.
On this long voyage, I don’t know the danger and geometry. It would be great to have such a powerful weapon close by.
Just look at the small print next to it, animal skins need special tanning, which takes a long time, and it is impossible to make them in a short time.
Wen Lie didn’t have too much regret either. Twenty armor-piercing horn bows, each with 50 arrows, should be able to cope with Miu’s killer.
He was planning to walk in the woods outside the valley to find suitable wood for shipbuilding. Miao came over. The wet feathers did not affect his flight. He landed steadily and said solemnly, “Found it.”
“where is it?”
“The pool is closest to the foot of the mountain, behind the waterfall.”
“Take me to see.”
At the foot of the mountain, they were taken by Miu to fly over the pool in front. They settled in a low-lying place with a waterfall in front of them.
Directly down, the momentum is vigorous.
Looking at the huge waterfall, Miao suddenly picked up the non-orcs, their wings overlapped, and surrounded the two of them, “Hold on!”
Like the shuttle of the star river, the silver-white light flashed by, and when Wen Lie was put down by the orc, he had already entered the other side of the world.
They stood in the air, with a wide torrent at their feet, and a high rock wall behind them. Along the rock wall, at the fault, the huge cavity was half hidden by a waterfall, and half facing diagonally upward, projecting endless sky light. It was the place where they had just entered. .
The bright sunlight allowed them to see everything here.
Swimming fish shuttled, light spots drifted away, white stalactites hung upside down, and some even connected to the ground, like high pillars in a palace, everything is beautiful like fantasy.
Sure enough, it is a cave.
Under the feet, the seawater facing them flowed to the end, hitting the rock wall behind them, splashing huge waves, and then hitting the hole above, pouring down with the waterfall curtain in front.
The swimming fishes are mixed, and they are also concealed by the thick curtain of water.
There is a rock wall, no wonder the water pool and the sea clearly communicate with each other, but it is fresh water and salt water.
Wen Lie admired this huge cave, and suddenly felt something strange in his feet.
He lowered his head and found that a small golden fish jumped up and bit the animal skin on his foot.
Speaking column: “…”
He kicked hard and threw the opponent into the water.
Looking at the huge space above his head, he said: “The tide is about to start to recede, and we will set off as soon as we finish building the ship.”
Miao nodded without objection.
When Miu flew out again, he was facing the crowd watching around the water.
So their staff was divided into two groups, one group went on to build houses, and another group started looking for timber to build ships.
The small boat dug out of tree trunks is called a canoe. Wen Lie couldn’t think of the design drawings for this thing. He simply drew a few canoes and their woods based on his own impressions and the knowledge of physics that he had not yet returned to the teacher. The three-dimensional model diagram of the pulp is easy to understand the image of the orcs.
He couldn’t help ranting against a bunch of illiterate days when he was building a house, and he didn’t want to live anymore.
The wood was in place soon. The orcs were strong and knew the field and forest. According to the requirements of the great witch, they brought back the largest tree trunk they could find.
It is fifty meters long and two meters in diameter.
Cut off the thickest part from an ancient tree with a height of 100 meters and a diameter of two meters.
Wen Lie divided the orcs into three evenly, took out one segment, and marked it with charcoal, so that the orcs would chop and dig along the black line to make the outline of the canoe. Come, and then use sharp stones to do all kinds of chipping, grinding, and fine finishing.
The wood pulp and beams were made from large pieces of wood that were chopped down. The beams were fixed in the cabin of the wooden boat to separate people and objects to prevent everyone from squeezing together in the wind and waves. It can also be used as a backrest for rest. .
A sail made of thin animal skins is mounted on the front.
After a busy afternoon, when the sun goes down in the evening, their first finished canoe is considered complete.
Of course, this can be considered a rough production, but it is the limit they can guarantee. At least the parts are complete, and Wen Lie is quite satisfied.
The final canoe is 16 meters long, two meters wide outside, one meter wide at the fore and aft hatch, and one meter six to seven at the widest point in the middle. It can hold hundreds of people. The boat is shaped like a shuttle, with both ends slightly tilted. It is very spectacular.
The orcs who built the house after finishing their work, also ran over to see, and worshipped the big guy for a while.
The next step is to test the water and learn how to row. Everyone worked together to push the canoe to the side of the pool. With a loud crash, the boat leaned into the water, caught some water in the cabin, and trapped some small fish in it, for unknown reasons. They jumped in panic on the water, their tails flung to the side of the cabin, making a crackling sound.
But this did not affect the stability of the canoe. The canoe was floating on the water, like a reef in the sea, as one body with the pool, and remained motionless in the sound of the impact.
The waterfall splashed, and water droplets reached the sail, making a dull click.
The big and small fishes in the water were probably out of curiosity or panic about the huge wooden planks that suddenly appeared, or they jumped out of the water from time to time, with graceful posture, or they got to the bottom of the boat and used their dorsal fins against the bottom of the boat to try to shake the boat.
The canoe moved, first at the top of the fish, hitting the spot and spinning around, then it met a bigger fish and slowly began to tilt.
Everyone looked at this scene, and the non-orc standing in the front was a little scared and said: “This, won’t you turn it over?”
At that time, if they encounter a bigger fish hitting the boat, will they not all fall into the water?
There were also orcs who looked at the canoe that kept spinning, and said, “Great Witch, did you add magic power to drive away fish and beasts? Why am I a little dizzy?”
Touching his head, the orc sighed in his heart that the magic power of the great witch was really strong.
Wen Lie: “…No, who will go first?”
A group of people backed away suddenly.
Wen Lie was speechless again, even the water was down, and he didn’t know what they were afraid of.
He came closer, the bow was still half-grounded by the pool, the bow was tilted a meter, a bit high, Wen Lie picked up the next Miu.
Miao made it through at one point, and he simply flew up with others and himself.
The two stood on a beam, Wen Lie chopped their feet a few times, and the boat did not move. They signaled to the people outside for safety and ordered: “All the orcs come up! The others are afraid to come back and want to come. “
The orcs were also a little bit resistant to the unknown. At this time, seeing the great witch standing up steadily, the boat did not move, so they jumped on it.
After learning the great witch to stand on the beam and stomping his feet, he found that this thing really wouldn’t sink after loading so many people, so he was completely relieved.
Wen Lie ordered the people to get the pottery bowl, clean the water in the cabin, put the caught fish in the pottery pot, and began to teach them how to use oars.
This process is more laborious than shipbuilding.
Wen Lie thought about it at first, but didn’t expect it to be so strenuous.
A group of big and tall people knows to paddle blindly, and the strength is not going to one place. The big canoe is either doing circular motions or doing the opposite motion.
“I’m calling one, two, three, and you all go back together!”
“The boat is going forward, Da Wu, why is it going back?”
“If you ask you to paddle, you can paddle! People who do it for me are not qualified to ask questions!”
There were bursts of laughter from all around.
“One, two, three, go!”
…
“I told the wood pulp in your hand to go, not you! Where do you want to go?”
“Great Witch, me, vomit!” The orcs crawled on the side of the boat and vomited into the pool. The fishes who were scared away by the movement they made suddenly rushed to their feet and swam to grab food.
Wen Lie: “…” Fortunately, this pool is living water.
“…If you get seasick, come out first, and if you don’t distinguish between the front and back, come out to me and watch!”
The rest are gloating.
By the pool, there were non-orcs who got on the boat and did not touch the oars. They dispelled the fear of floating, and they all began to eager to try. Seeing that the orcs were eliminated one after another, they began to fight for opportunities, “Great Witch, let’s get on it.” We can tell the front and back!”
A lively non-orc raised his hand and shouted, causing a burst of laughter.
Wenliele had to put a little pressure on the orcs, and waved them to come on.
The non-orcs are more reliable than the orcs without the spirit of unity and cooperation, of course, although there are one or two that are really unclear… that doesn’t affect the overall situation.
Seeing that the sun was going down completely, their boat finally rowed from one end of the pool to the other.
Wen Lie was very pleased, and patted the shoulders of non-orcs one by one, and encouraged: “It’s great. Let’s eat fish tonight. We eat the big fish your patriarch caught. We learned how to deal with meat and barbecue. Let’s take a rest. Help, whoever does more meat will give you more!”
The non-orcs cheered and looked at the orcs who were lingering like a frost-beaten eggplant, feeling proud and happy, full of a sense of accomplishment. They looked at their young witch in admiration, and their respect for each other rose to the extreme.
While staring at the clean and pure smiles of the non-orcs, the orcs said that they were also okay.
But some orcs looked at the waterfall right in front of them, thinking about another thing, “Great Witch, is the fish in the water hole big? Will it overturn the boat?”
Wen Lie said: “…it’s okay, no matter how big the fish is in the water hole, it will be the kind you catch.” The fish won’t, but with their current technology, it is quite possible to hit the stalactite and turn the boat upside down.
“And I asked the beast **** for some weapons, so I can deal with them.”
As he said, he took out twenty sets of armor-piercing horn bows, threw them on the ground, and clapped his hands. “If you want to eat fish at night and want to have a set of bows and arrows with you like your patriarch, you will work hard in a while and fight a good duel. Right.”
“Twenty people who win are eligible to get them.”
