"Good, the range of this bow is much better than the Tribe's previous ones."

Lin Feng looked at the arrows in the distance and nodded in satisfaction.

The Tribe's previous bows had an effective range of only about 50 meters.

This bow, made by Liubai Dianmo, had an estimated effective range of nearly 100 meters.

It was almost double!

Liubai Dianmo was very happy to receive the Tribe Leader's praise.

So the Tribe Leader was testing the bow's range. I thought he was trying to shoot that big tree and missed. I really underestimated the Tribe Leader! Liubai Dianmo thought.

"Tribe Leader, I'm not bragging. Give me some more time, and if I can find more suitable materials, I can even make a recurve bow! Its range and power would be significantly better than this straight pull bow," Liubai Dianmo said confidently.

A recurve bow required better materials and was more difficult to make than a straight pull bow.

But that wouldn't stop him.

Let alone a recurve bow, if he had the right tools and materials, he could even handcraft a compound bow!

Of course, making a compound bow was unrealistic with the Tribe's current conditions.

But a recurve bow was worth a try.

Recurve bow? Lin Feng's eyes lit up at the mention.

"Excellent! From now on, you'll be in charge of the Tribe's bow and arrow production!" Lin Feng said, patting Liubai Dianmo on the shoulder.

With the successful completion of the task to improve the bows and arrows, Liubai Dianmo's level directly increased to 1.

At the same time, a new repeatable quest appeared in his quest log.

Bow and Arrow Production.

For every bow or arrow he made, he would receive experience and contribution points.

The better the quality of the bow, the higher the rewards.

"I guarantee I'll complete the quest!" Liubai Dianmo said excitedly, looking at the quest in his log.

The rewards for making bows and arrows were no less than hunting!

He didn't need to go out and fight monsters. He just needed to stay in the valley and continuously craft bows and arrows to earn experience and contribution points.

This was awesome!

In the wilderness, Da Qing and the other four moved cautiously through the bushes.

Su Ziye and the Ranger's stone spears had disappeared, replaced by two wooden sticks they had found somewhere.

The Ranger's left arm was wrapped in a piece of beast hide, and blood was seeping through.

The Tyrannosaurus Warrior had three claw marks on his shoulder, each half a foot long. Despite being crudely bandaged, blood was still oozing out.

Initially, they were in a relaxed mood.

But about half an hour ago, they were ambushed by a leopard.

It was called a leopard, but it was larger than a leopard on Earth, almost the size of an ordinary lioness.

After a fierce battle, the five managed to drive off the leopard, but at the cost of two injured.

Su Ziye and the Ranger's stone spears were also broken during the fight.

They were fortunate that Da Qing had leveled up to 1 and had a Strength of 9, allowing him to somewhat hold the line in the front.

Otherwise, all five of them might have been wiped out by the leopard's ferocious attack!

It was precisely because of this attack that the five gained a clear understanding of the dangers of the Savage World.

They no longer walked around as casually as before, but tried to use plants to conceal themselves.

Their gazes towards their surroundings became much more vigilant.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from ahead.

Mixed with the roar were sounds of chaotic shouting in a language they couldn't understand.

"There's something up ahead!"

The five stopped, cautiously looking in the direction of the sound.

"Let's go check it out. Be careful, and try not to be discovered!"

Da Qing spoke.

Listening to the sound, it seemed like a group of people were fighting some kind of beast.

He found the unintelligible language somewhat familiar, as if the Tribe Leader and the five children of the Tribe had communicated in this language.

It should be the common language of this world.

The five of them concealed their presence and quietly moved closer, hiding in the bushes to peek out.

"Jackalmen!"

The Ranger walking at the forefront said in a low voice, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

The quest objective, finally found!

Da Qing and the others crept up beside him, looking ahead through the gaps in the bushes.

They saw over a dozen Jackalmen surrounding and attacking a black fierce beast.

This beast looked very much like a saber-toothed tiger from the Ice Age.

Unlike a saber-toothed tiger, its fur was a deep black, and it had a single horn on its head.

The horn was sharp, like a scimitar or a dagger.

This saber-toothed tiger was clearly much fiercer than the leopard they had encountered. Under the siege of over a dozen Jackalmen, it dodged and weaved, showing no signs of fear.

Two Jackalmen corpses lay on the ground, one of them still twitching slightly in a pool of blood, clearly not dead yet.

The Jackalmen each held a wooden club, over a meter long, thick at the top and thin at the bottom.

Sharp, slender stones or unknown bone fragments were embedded in the clubs, resembling crude maces.

The Jackalmen had the Unicorn Saber-toothed Tiger completely surrounded, preventing its escape while continuously attacking it with their maces.

Each blow left several bloody gashes on the Unicorn Saber-toothed Tiger.

"These Jackalmen are strong!"

A trace of astonishment appeared in the Ranger's eyes.

The Jackalmen's speed and Strength were clearly superior to theirs, players at level 0 or 1!

If it were over a dozen players attacking this Unicorn Saber-toothed Tiger, they would probably have already become a pile of corpses, and the saber-toothed tiger would be happily feasting.

Yesterday, the Tribe Leader led a team out for a Hunt, and it was said they cleanly took down three Jackalmen.

He had initially thought these Jackalmen were too weak in combat, but now it seemed it was probably because the Tribe Leader was too strong.

That made sense; as the leader NPC of the faction, it was only logical for the Tribe Leader to be strong.

"What should we do? Should we help that saber-toothed tiger?"

Su Ziye asked softly.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Jackalmen were their enemies, so the saber-toothed tiger was naturally their friend.

The Ranger, however, did not think so.

"How can we help? If we go over, the Jackalmen only need to send two or three of them to take us all down! And that saber-toothed tiger might not help us even if it finds an opportunity to break free."

The Ranger said.

"Let's wait and see. After the Jackalmen hunt this saber-toothed tiger, they will definitely take the prey back to their Tribe. If we follow them, we can find the location of the Jackalmen Tribe."

Da Qing said in a low voice.

Judging by the situation on the field, unless something unexpected happened, it was only a matter of time before the Jackalmen hunted down this Unicorn Saber-toothed Tiger.

The main objective of the reconnaissance mission was to determine the location of the Jackalmen Tribe, followed by determining their numbers.

As long as they successfully pinpointed the location of the Jackalmen Tribe, their mission would be more than half complete.

"But this saber-toothed tiger is so pitiful."

Su Ziye said sympathetically, watching the saber-toothed tiger, surrounded by Jackalmen, unable to break free.

"Heh heh, you won't think it's pitiful when you encounter it alone in the wilderness."

The Tyrannosaurus Warrior chuckled.

Su Ziye shot him a glance and said no more.

The five of them hid and watched. Under the Jackalmen's siege, the Unicorn Saber-toothed Tiger sustained more and more wounds.

After more than ten minutes, and after the Jackalmen paid the price of two more comrades' lives, the fierce saber-toothed tiger finally reached its limit and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The Jackalmen let out a cheer and rushed forward, raising their maces and smashing them down on the saber-toothed tiger.

The saber-toothed tiger let out cries of agony, which gradually weakened until it finally fell silent.

The Jackalmen let out triumphant cheers and, working together, lifted the dead saber-toothed tiger and headed west.

No one paid any attention to the four Jackalmen corpses on the ground.

"Follow them!"

After the Jackalmen had moved two to three hundred meters away, Da Qing waved his hand, signaling his companions to follow them.

He was unsure of the Jackalmen's alertness, so he naturally wanted to keep a greater distance.

With over a dozen Jackalmen carrying a huge saber-toothed tiger corpse, they wouldn't lose track even if they stayed further back.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
