This was the first time Lin Fei had killed such a large predator, and it was also the first time Little Black had seen it. Dilophosaurus died in front of his eyes.

This large corpse was difficult to handle, which made Lin Fei very troubled. At that time, he did not know how to dry and store bacon, nor how to roast meat over fire, so he bit the bullet and tried to cut off a small piece and taste it.

Lin Fei's move made Little Black feel nervous for no reason. The natural fear of carnivores came back at this moment.

"Ugh--" Lin Fei rolled his eyes and spit out the raw meat in his mouth. His whole body felt bad.

"Bah, bah, bah!" He said with a grimace, disgusted by the mouthful of raw meat.

Little Black was obviously relieved when he saw this scene.

Lin Fei even rinsed his mouth with water from the reservoir, and felt much more comfortable in his mouth. It is worth mentioning that at this time, he had already used a cup similar to a bamboo tube. He could not name the plant, but he knew that it was hollow and was very convenient for holding water.

He even discovered a kind of plant particles that can be used to brush teeth, which can make the discomfort in the mouth disappear a lot every morning.

Lin Fei wanted to teach Little Black to brush his teeth, but found that it was too "difficult". He could only let him grow a big mouth every day like taking care of a child, and then brush his teeth.

The main reason is that I don't brush Little Black's teeth. There is always a smell when it opens its mouth, which makes Lin Fei feel a little dizzy.

All in all, due to lack of information and knowledge, Lin Fei wasted all the food in front of him and did not use it. He just tried every means to leave a large number of dinosaur bones, always feeling that such tough things must be put to use.

Then Lin Fei saw those sharpened wooden thorns, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He had already thought of the use of these hard bones, but the top priority was to dispose of the Dilophosaurus corpse, which was about two meters tall. Otherwise, once it started to rot, the smell would not only be unpleasant, but might even attract other predators.

But this thing was really too big for Lin Fei, so I cut it into pieces and threw it away somewhere far away. It took a lot of effort to dispose of it.

After doing all this, he repaired the destroyed trap again and covered it with soil again.

Afterwards, Lin Fei picked up the bones left on Dilophosaurus's body and began to make tools.

At first he made bone spears.

A head-on conflict with Dilophosaurus is no different than seeking death. Even if you encounter a small and fast predator outside, it is best to deal with it before it gets close to you.

Lin Fei first thought of bone spears, but when he saw the tough and elastic tendons on the dinosaur's body, he was stunned.

"Little Black, come here." He waved.

Little Black walked forward suspiciously, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Lin Fei asked Lin Fei to lift his legs, then tighten Dilophosaurus's tendons and place them on the ground, and ask Little Black to step on them.

Lin Fei tried to pull the tendon hard, and found that it was extremely tough. Even with all his strength, he could only pull it apart partially. Little Black also found it very difficult to step on the tendon firmly.

The moment Lin Fei let go, there was a "collapse" sound, and the dragon's tendon suddenly bounced forward, leaving a deep mark on the mud.

Little Black felt that his feet were numb from the shock and he didn't want to do it anymore.

But Lin Fei was very excited and asked him to hold on for a while, then put the sharpened bone spear on the dragon tendon and pulled it.

"Collapse--"

The dragon's tendons made a startling sound, and the bone spear flew out directly with a sharp "swish" sound, and then plunged into a tree!

Lin Fei was shocked.

Little Black was confused and still didn't understand what happened.

Until Lin Fei pointed his finger behind it, Little Black was shocked at first glance.

Lin Fei was very excited and thought of an unprecedented thing - bow and arrow.

Of course, manufacturing is still an extremely difficult process.

First of all, it took too much time for things like "bow" to appear in Lin Fei's mind. He tried many times, but all ended in failure.

The wood used as a wooden bow was too brittle and would snap and break as soon as it was pulled. The wood used as a woodworking material was too hard and would remain straight no matter how much it was pulled, making it impossible to fire the bow at all.

Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in this jungle is wood. Lin Fei spent a lot of time and finally found a satisfactory material. It was both strong and tough. He made a wooden bow using branches similar to Purple Robe wood and Dilophosaurus tendons.

When it's time to draw the bow, Lin Fei will even step on the bow, and then use both hands to stretch the bow string so that it can be tightened to the limit, like a full moon.

The sharp keel arrows fired in this state are extremely destructive and can even penetrate a tree trunk to a depth of nearly twenty centimeters within a certain distance.

You must know that they are hard trees, not fragile flesh and blood.

Of course, beyond a certain distance, its destructive power will decrease.

What makes Lin Fei even more troublesome is that the accuracy of this set of bow and arrow weapons is very worrying. The arrow body lacks basic balance and will appear to "twist" during flight, causing deviations from the actual aiming position.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, but Lin Fei always feels that it might be a fatal flaw.

He, who lacked information and knowledge at that time, naturally did not know that the high movement of the arrow in the air caused the air flow. A slight flow of air would move the arrow, greatly reducing its accuracy.

Later generations of the cold weapon era discovered this problem, and later gradually promoted a simple and effective solution - feathers. Two symmetrically trimmed feathers are inlaid on both sides of the arrow tail, which can minimize the impact of airflow and maintain its stability and movement trajectory.

Lin Fei suddenly remembered that he had seen a tragic scene where a herbivorous dinosaur had its tail bitten, causing it to lose its balance when running on two legs, fall heavily to the ground, and be overtaken and killed by a predator.

So he looked at the dragon bone arrow in his hand, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Does it also need a tail?" Lin Fei looked suspicious.

He was like a little genius full of whimsical ideas. He tried many things to use as the "tail" of the keel arrow, but the results were all disappointing.

In the end, Lin Fei could only give up and accept the fact. The keel arrow will deviate after being shot, and the farther the distance, the greater the deviation, which is equivalent to reducing its actual effective range.

But even so, it is a killer weapon that Lin Fei can't put down.

Even when he was sleeping, there were a few things that never left his body.

Little Dragon Mama's Sword of the Dragon's Beak, dragon tooth blade, wooden bow and Dilophosaurus's bone arrows.
