Chapter 213: Shoot
What Bell was preparing to make was a longbow.
The advantage of the longbow was that its firing speed was good, but its weakness was also very obvious. Its penetration power was poor.
Recurve bow had much higher power and shot faster.
As for the compound bow, it had the advantages of both bows.
In fact, there was already the technology to create compound bows in the Yuan Dynasty.
Back then, the Yuan Dynasty’s army could dominate Eurasia because of this weapon.
The heavy cavalry of Eurasia was forced to retreat.
“It’s not as simple as it looks to make a good bow and arrows. It takes years of skill.
But we don’t have that much time now. We have to make a simple one.”
Of course, this was also because Bell’s craftsmanship was limited.
Moreover, the materials were limited as well.
...
Fortunately, these coyotes were only five to six meters away from him.
The ones farthest were no more than ten meters away. No matter how crude the bow was, it could cause a lot of damage.
Among the wooden sticks, Bell chose a curvy wooden branch to make the bow.
He started trimming it with the dagger.
While doing this, Bell explained to the audience.
“These coyotes don’t look like they will let us off easily.
But we can’t keep wasting time with them.
Instead of waiting, it is better to take the initiative.
What I am doing now is creating a bow and arrows. I am going to use our terrain advantage to shoot that alpha to death.
Once the alpha dies, there is a high chance that this pack will disperse. ”
The bow and arrow that Bell made were not perfect, and he only looked at practicality, so they were rough.
After making the bow, Bell made the bowstring.
He separated the ropes of the parachute and twisted the fine threads together, tying them to the bow.
He tried to pull it. He realized that the bowstring was still very taut.
It should be able to shoot ten meters, but he would have to test it later.
Putting down the bow, Bell began to make arrows.
Ten minutes later, more than ten arrows about a meter long were placed neatly beside Bell.
Bell picked up a tree ten meters away.
He drew the bowstring and placed his hand under his chin.
Bang!
The arrow shot out.
Immediately after, the wooden arrow nailed firmly to the tree trunk.
Initially, Bell was a little worried about the lethality of these wooden arrows.
But now, it seemed like his worries were unnecessary.
With the strength of this arrow, as long as it did not hit the hard parts like the skulls of these coyotes, other parts could definitely be pierced through.
The eyes of the people in the live-stream lit up when they saw this scene.
“F*ck, this is a simple production?”
“Brothers below, run quickly. Otherwise, you will only add to Bell’s food stock.”
“I have a feeling that it will be a massacre later.”
“As expected of Bell, he can counterattack at any time.”
“Did any of you notice Bell’s strength?
To be able to shoot at such a speed, Bell’s strength is not inferior to ordinary adults. ”
“Previous poster, I’m not surprised at all. I mean look at who he is.”
After testing the strength of the arrow, Bell was quite satisfied.
However, he was not in a hurry to attack.
“Now is not the best time to attack.
I have said before that these coyotes are different from black bears and brown bears. They cannot stay hungry for long.
We still have enough food and water.
In order to ensure the accuracy, we will have to wait for a while.”
Hearing Bell say this, Ped and the man sat quietly in the shelter and were no longer anxious.
Bell locked his gaze on the alpha.
When he observed this alpha before, he did not see much.
But now that there was enough sunlight, he finally saw the appearance of this alpha coyote.
This alpha coyote was missing half an ear, and the corner of its mouth seemed to have been torn by a sharp weapon.
This injury had already severely affected its eating. It was no wonder it was so thin.
The few of them faced the coyote pack for another two hours. The long period of hunger finally made the coyotes below unable to endure it.
The coyotes were getting restless.
More than ten coyotes howled before standing up as if preparing to go hunt.
The other coyotes did not move and continued to watch Bell.
Seeing this, Bell couldn’t help but sigh at the coyote pack’s discipline. They were actually able to somewhat restrain a primal instinct like hunger.
From the looks of it, the coyote pack was preparing to wait for their companions to eat and drink their fill before changing the watch shift. They would continue this cycle and exhaust Bell’s team to death.
It had to be said that this plan was quite shrewd.
In the long history, there were too many animals that were more ferocious than coyotes.
For example, saber-toothed tigers, Titanis, and short-faced bears were all creatures that stood at the top of the food chain.
But after the baptism of nature, these overlords were finally eliminated.
What was left was the weaker wolves.
There was only one reason why they could survive, and that was this strict hierarchy.
Humans and coyotes could be said to have some similarities.
Their hierarchy was mostly related to intelligence.
After about ten minutes, Bell’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
He knew it was time to act.
There were less than twenty coyotes below them.
If he could kill the alpha coyote, the remaining coyotes would probably choose to escape.
It did not matter if they did not escape. He had more than ten wooden arrows that could easily kill most of the remaining coyotes.
The three of them could kill the remaining few easily.
Bell slowly raised his bow.
After nocking the arrow, he aimed at the alpha’s eyes.
After all, this was a wooden arrow. Due to the material, he had to find the most fragile place to strike.
Moreover, with this alpha’s intelligence, this would probably be his only chance.
If he only injured it, he would probably be in even more trouble.
Who knew if this alpha coyote would start tracking him later.
