Chapter 187 Kong Yi's Fear

The next day, Wang Lang arranged for seven or eight soldiers to take a dozen men to the jungle to collect rattan. Wang Lang had seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before. , can be said to be exceptionally tough.

Let alone tung oil, I don't even have much animal oil. The rattan armor made this way must not be able to withstand the attack of metal weapons, but fortunately, my opponent is a stone tool tribe, which can barely offset the simple rattan armor. defect.

The vines grew everywhere on the edge of the deep forest, and these low shrubs grew densely in a large area.

In less than half a day, these people collected a large amount of rattan, and at noon, one person returned to the tribe with a large bundle of rattan.

With the materials, Wang Lang started to weave rattan armor. With the experience of weaving rattan baskets and rattan back baskets, making rattan armor became handy.

Wang Lang called some women who had nothing to do, he could only demonstrate this kind of thing once, and a large-scale production still needs women to complete it.

Wang Lang thought about the pattern of rattan armor for a long time, and began to weave according to his own ideas.

In the beginning, Wang Lang was very unskilled in knitting, but as the steps were repeated slowly, his movements became more proficient. The boring waiting and repetitive movements made the women onlookers very bored.

In three or four hours, Wang Lang finished weaving a part of the rattan armor. At this time, he was already tired and had a backache.

"Do you understand, just weave it like this, and make it the same size as this one." Wang Lang said to these women.

Repeated weaving is very simple. These women have been watching for so long, and they have already remembered it. After Wang Lang asked them to try it one by one, they nodded in satisfaction and said: "From now on, we will weave according to this pattern. , first dry these rattans, and then make the rattan armor strong enough.”

These women don’t have the habit of asking questions. The men have to do what they say. The status of women in this tribe is very low, basically belonging to men’s accessories. After writing down Wang Lang’s words, the women embraced These vines are placed in the dry sun to dry.

"Leader Zheng, what did the leader do to get these canes back? Don't we have enough panniers and baskets?" A soldier asked Kong Yi.

"That's for rattan armor. You saw it yesterday. The bark guy was wearing a snakeskin armor to show off everywhere. If I hadn't been there late, how could such a good thing have happened to that guy." Kong Yi said yesterday Bark was ahead of him, still brooding over the matter of getting the snakeskin armor, and said in a somewhat blunt tone.

"Hey, Captain, you don't have to be too angry about this. Didn't the leader tell you that those snake skins will be distributed to you leaders." A soldier laughed.

Hearing this, Kong Yi's face became brighter, and he said, "If it wasn't for this, I would have to take that guy's snakeskin armor off his body yesterday, what ability does he have to get the armor made by the leader himself."

"Captain, calm down, what happened to that rattan armor!" A soldier asked.

"Isn't it for you? We leaders, big and small, have snakeskin armor. You soldiers can't be naked. If the enemy goes down with an axe, your intestines won't flow out? So the leader thought of using rattan to weave it. A, these are for you." Kong Yi explained.

"Can rattan be used as armor?" the soldier said in disbelief.

"It's the same as the rattan basket, just with a different shape, but this thing can also resist the attack of the stone axe." Kong Yi said.

A soldier looked at the earthen basket on the side, scratched his head, and said to Kong Yi: "Captain, can I chop this rattan basket with an axe?"

Kong Yi said indifferently: "There are a lot of these things in the tribe, if you want to try it, try it, but I don't think this thing can stop the copper axe, let alone you, even the snakeskin armor can't stop the axe."

With the spirit of immortality, the soldier found an axe, poured out the soil in the soil basket, swung the ax and chopped it down vigorously.

With a crisp sound of "Kah!", the cane was cut off in one click, and the soldier almost lost his waist due to the excessive force.

Seeing this result, Kong Yi sneered and said, "Do you think our axe is comparable to those tribes with broken stones? When we and the leader encountered a giant snake in the deep forest, we could cut into the giant snake with one axe." In snake meat, this kind of copper mixed with tin can be said to be the most powerful weapon in the tribe, if it is not for cutting down trees, if it is melted to make a dagger, it will definitely be very powerful."

The soldiers naturally knew that the copper ax was more powerful than weapons, but they didn't know that there was such an allusion in it, so they hurriedly surrounded Kong Yi and asked him to tell the story.

Kong Yi narrated the incident of that distress with embellishment, bragging about his bravery when it involved himself.

Although the story told by Kong Yi was not perfect, the soldiers still listened with gusto.

"Captain, it was also a big snake back then, why didn't Nightmare peel off the snake's skin." The soldier asked with some doubts.

Kong Yi sighed and said: "When the tribe came here not long ago, there wasn't enough food, how could I be in the mood to think about it, and came back after chopping off a piece of snake meat, and that time, the second team of Kong was also knocked out by the big snake. , I don’t even bother to get any snake skin, and when we pass by there, there is nothing left.”

When the soldiers heard the words, they immediately showed regrettable expressions. If they had the snake's skin, plus this time, after distributing one to each of the leaders, the rest would probably be left to them, although the chances are very high. Small, but better than hopeless at all.

"Oh, it would be great if we killed a few big snakes like this." Someone said regretfully.

"It's not so easy to encounter, such a big snake has to eat so many things to grow so big. We killed two of them nearby, and I don't think we will encounter them again for a long time. Unless..." Speaking of here Kong Yi paused and stopped talking.

The soldiers were getting excited when they saw that Kong Yi suddenly stopped talking about the key points, and asked quickly: "Captain, unless there is something else, is there any other way to find some kind of big snake?"

"You guys, what are you asking? Hurry up and work. The sun will soon go down if you don't work." Kong Yi got up and rushed the soldiers away impatiently.

After these soldiers went to work full of doubts, Kong subconsciously looked at the deep jungle, couldn't help but shivered, and whispered: "How many terrible monsters are there in the dead forest?"
