The difficulty of the double-piece bow lies in how to perfectly fit the two pieces of bamboo together, and the other steps are almost the same as those of the single-piece bow.

Mu Feng took a few more bamboo pieces, and taught Li Hu, Ming Guang, Bai Ya, and Han Shu to make bows by themselves, and marked each of them for comparison later.

There were seven bows in total, three were demonstrated by Mu Feng himself, and four were tried by the four of them.

Then he asked Mingguang to find fur and python skin and use this time to make protective gear.

He cut the fur to size according to Han Shu's figure, sewed the fur into a cylindrical shape with bone needles, put it on Han Shu's left shoulder, and sewed up an armguard for him.

These are very simple, the hard part is the finger guard.

The finger protector is also called the release device. At the earliest time, it was a jade finger or a pull finger, and later it was directly changed to a leather finger protector.

It just so happened that he had python skin in his hand, which was smooth and tough, and it was a good material for finger protectors.

He was going to make three-finger guards like a glove.

The long tube is easy to make, just roll it into a tube and sew it up.

However, the finger guards are relatively thin and must fit the fingers, so that the accuracy will be higher when pulling the string to shoot arrows.

For Mu Feng, it is okay to sew a double-breasted leather armor with thick stitches and wide stitches, but if it is really thin enough to have dense stitches, it will be a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, there was Bai Fang here, according to Mu Feng's request, she pinched the python skin and twirled it around Han Shu's three fingers, marked it, and sewed it up stitch by stitch.

In the end, a long tube of finger protectors completed by two people was completed.

Mu Feng asked Han Shu to wear this set of protective gear, hold the single-piece bow to familiarize himself with the posture and technique of drawing the bow and archery, use light strength, and then return and release the bowstring.

And he picked up the double blade he put down first and began to bend and string the bow.

He is familiar with all these, and he will do it quickly.

He picked up the bow, weighed it, hooked the bowstring with his hand, and instinctively restrained his hand.

As soon as the bow is released, a trilling sound of "cracking" suddenly sounds, which is obviously different from the "buzzing" of the single-piece bow.

"En!" Mu Feng nodded, knowing clearly in his heart: "Sure enough, it is very difficult to make a double-piece bow, and the vibration of the bow string is more than doubled."

He took a bamboo arrow and shot it through a tree about fifty meters away. "

With a sound of "嗖", the bamboo arrow appeared on the tree trunk, the arrowhead sank more than two inches into the tree trunk, and the arrow tail trembled!

"Sure enough!" Mu Feng nodded, he deliberately controlled the strength, but the power was definitely beyond expectations.

He passed it to Han Shu, "Use the method I taught you just now, try it!"

Han Shu did the same, but he aimed at another tree, and when he shot an arrow, it went straight into the trunk with a "swish" sound!

Not only that, the bamboo arrow broke with a "snap" when the arrow tail trembled!

"This..." Han Shu was embarrassed, "The Great Chief..."

Mu Feng's eyes lit up, he waved his hands and asked with a smile: "Han Shu, what do you think of this bow?"

Han Shu thought for a while before scratching his head and said, "I don't think I've tried my best yet."

After speaking, he looked at Mu Feng nervously, "Is it bad if the arrow is broken?"

"Of course not!" Mu Feng explained, "This shows that a double-piece bow is still not suitable for you. Maybe you need a three-piece bow, and you are also strong. The arrow body can't bear such a strong force. That's how it broke!"

"You mean..." Han Shu asked cautiously.

"This is a good thing!" Mu Feng laughed loudly, "It means that as long as you use a bow that suits you, you can break things that others cannot break!"

After a pause, Mu Feng patted Han Shu on the shoulder like an elder: "It seems that it is right for you to make the first set of protective gear for the tribe. You should take this double-piece bow to get familiar with it first, and I will give it to you tomorrow." Make a three piece hard bow!"

Han Shu was ecstatic, bent over and saluted: "Thank you, Great Chief!"

Mu Feng waved his hand: "Okay, besides the bow, the arrow also needs to be improved. The black bark bamboo is very tough, but not hard enough, so it needs to be sharpened and roasted in the fire! This way it is harder and more durable. Sharp!"

"Yes!" Several people responded in unison.

Mu Feng also started to make his own two bows.

Soon, six bows and arrows were ready.

Li Hu and Ming Guang made quite satisfactory bowstrings, Bai Fang's bowstring was a bit loose, but Han Shu's bowstring was obviously taut.

Generally speaking, the bows and arrows of Mufeng, Lihu and Mingguang can be used directly.

But White Fang's bowstring needs to be tightened, which has something to do with her own strength.

But Han Shu obviously needed a harder bow.

Several people experimented with the two-piece bow they made, and the speed and range were obviously different from the single-piece bow, and far surpassed the first single-piece bow made by Mu Feng!

"Such a weapon!" Ming Guang shouted in a deep voice, "With such a bow and arrow, our hunting will be easier!"

Li Hu also shouted excitedly: "Even if the reckless dragons come again, they must never come back!"

But Bai Fang asked worriedly: "But if that Yema Duo from the Blue Bird Department comes again and wants to learn the double-piece bow, what should I do?"

Mu Feng shook his head and smiled, "How is it possible? It was a special situation before, but now that we have food and furs, I won't teach her any more."

"But will she come again after she said so?" Bai Fang frowned, his big eyes sparkled, although he was full of worry, he was very cute.

Mu Feng smiled softly: "It's okay, if she really comes again, I have something else to exchange with her!"

"What can we have?" White Fang wondered.

Mu Feng pointed to the pottery that was drying in the shade: "These things, we won't teach how to use weapons in the future, so that safety will be guaranteed. Trade these pottery with them!"

After a pause, he grinned again and said, "This core technology is always in our own hands!"

"What's so good about pottery?" Bai Fang pouted and muttered, "It's so thin, it will rot if you drop it!"

Mu Feng couldn't help laughing: "You will know when you make it!"
