Wolf Fang Arrow

It will take some time to finish breakfast, so Li Wei drank the dew that belonged to him and then picked out a few suitable wooden sticks from the firewood pile to start carving wooden spears.

These were their most effective weapons against the wolf pack for now.

However, Penny brought over a slightly different wooden spear at this moment.

"George, this wooden spear is for you."

As she spoke, a line of information appeared.

[Professional Craftsman *** has gifted you a well-made wooden spear. Due to its professional characteristics, this wooden spear has slightly higher damage.]

Well!

Li Wei was naturally very happy. Why else would they say that everyone has their own specialty? Compared to the wooden spears he had carved himself before, Penny's was on a completely different level.

There was a huge difference just in the choice of materials. Penny's wooden spear was perfectly straight, without knots, had good hardness, a reasonable center of gravity, and was quite comfortable to hold. It was practically the epitome of wooden spears, like the rich and handsome or beautiful and wealthy among them.

It could be called a work of art.

"Don't be surprised. From now on, your weapons are my responsibility."

Penny said it very seriously.

Of course, Li Wei didn't believe her. Even if Penny kept her promise in the future, he would have to give up some benefits.

Half an hour later, Phila finished cooking.

Breakfast was quite plentiful and free.

There was wheat porridge and roasted wolf meat, though it was a bit bland.

"We don't have much salt left at home. In two months at most, it will run out. This place is very remote, so there won't be any traveling merchants. If we have the chance in the future, we'll have to go outside the mountains to buy some, but it's unlikely we'll find any. This plague is spreading very quickly..."

While eating, Phila said casually.

Neither Li Wei nor Penny responded. Developing a family was not easy, especially in such a wilderness.

Actually, Li Wei really wanted to ask if they should continue on to that place called Ver Province, but he didn't dare to ask.

After breakfast, Phila and Penny went back inside to sleep and rest, specifically telling Li Wei not to act rashly.

He certainly wouldn't act rashly. Although it was daytime, he was alone and couldn't see where the wolves were hiding. He would die unjustly even if he was ambushed.

But fortunately, he could still do other things.

He crossed the fence and went to the farmland to weed, and then planted wheat in the remaining half-acre of farmland. This was Phila's suggestion. Although it was almost July, any harvest was better than none. Regardless, his Professional Farmer bonus was still very helpful.

The wheat seedlings in both fields were growing vigorously and pleasingly.

So there was no need to hide anything. Phila and Penny had already guessed that his profession was Farmer.

He was busy until noon, and the wolf pack didn't appear. When Li Wei jumped back to the camp, Phila and Penny had also woken up and come out.

"We need to go out to get water. Humans can endure, but the cattle need to drink."

"Penny, you stand at a high point to keep watch, and George, you cover me."

Phila made a new suggestion.

But Penny had a different opinion. "Mom, George, we need to decide whether to give up this cow. What do you think? When those four wolves charge, can George alone stop them? He'd be lucky to save himself, let alone cover you."

"So, either we wait a couple more days until my injury heals, and we go out together. We need to fight a decisive battle with the wolf pack, and we must kill all the wolves to end this war."

"Or, even if you have different opinions, you can't go out today. George, you need a hunting bow."

"Okay!"

Li Wei was persuaded. Indeed, they needed to fight a decisive battle, or at least have the ability to contend with the wolf pack; otherwise, it was not advisable to go out.

That black wolf was the Wolf King, and it had the ability to summon other gray wolves at intervals. Never mind what kind of fantastical bug this was, it was a fact.

Phila didn't say anything more. After adding some fresh grass they had cut back yesterday to the old cow, she stood there dejectedly, lost in thought.

"George, come help."

Penny began to make a hunting bow, using wood she had stored from who knows when. It seemed she had been preparing for this for a long time.

The process of making a hunting bow involved roasting it with fire. Li Wei just followed her instructions, being run around by Penny, but he was willing to do it.

"If Sam hadn't died, he would have been an excellent hunter. George, I hope you can become an excellent hunter."

As it neared evening, when the hunting bow was finally finished, Penny instructed Li Wei on how to string it, and said meaningfully, "Now, carve some wooden arrows yourself, using wolf fangs as arrowheads. These are consumables, so you need to learn to make them yourself. Don't worry about fletched arrows; within twenty meters, unfletched wooden arrows are also quite effective."

[Professional Craftsman *** has gifted you a simple hunting bow and taught you some knowledge about making wooden arrows.]

[Friendly Reminder: Because of her gift, if the wolf calamity quest is completed, she will also receive additional Family Contribution Points.]

Making wooden arrows was slightly simpler, although it still required quite good processing skills.

However, after making the simple hunting bow, Penny's wound had split open, so Li Wei had to make them himself.

According to her, the most important thing for unfletched wooden arrows was balance, so he had to pay attention to the length and straightness when cutting.

However, the specific center of gravity would depend on the effect when he shot it himself.

Therefore, he had to learn to make wooden arrows himself. This was something Penny couldn't help with.

As for wolf fangs, there are many. A single wolf yields over twenty fangs suitable for arrowheads.

So far, the family has hunted three wolves, meaning, theoretically, they could make over sixty arrows.

However, wolf fangs are divided into canines and incisors, with the four canines being the most lethal.

The old wolf Li Wei luckily killed over a month ago had all four of its canines, which Sam took yesterday to craft the most powerful Wolf Fang Arrows. Unfortunately, they were lost along with the Hunting Bow.

Therefore, Li Wei can only make eight Wolf Fang Arrows at this moment.

Night fell, and the sound of wolves howling began again. They could even hear the wolves running outside the camp.

Phila and Penny both came out of their rooms and lit several bonfires around the camp. Phila even held a Wooden Spear, standing atop the Ox Cart, and loudly cursed the dark night sky. It was clear she was trying her best to suppress her fear.

Penny, on the other hand, seemed less afraid. She walked back and forth around the camp, occasionally rummaging through the simple storage shed. After a long while, she actually found several beautiful wild pheasant feathers.

"George, we're quite lucky. We can make two fletched arrows. I'm telling you, there's a huge difference between fletched and unfletched arrows. If you can hit your mark, it's possible to snipe that black wolf within forty meters."
