Chapter 15: Zhuang Yu's True Colors

Thinking about the possibility of having fish to eat in the future, having a stable source of meat, Zhuang Yu felt very excited.

There was no way around it. His current food sources were unstable. For example, the bamboo shoots on the mountain, once he dug them all up, he didn't know where to find food.

But fish were different. That river should be a river of life. Golden Centipede Tribe lived by this river, which was large and long, teeming with fish. As long as it didn't dry up, they should be able to continuously obtain fish from it.

The current problem was how to avoid those ferocious wild beasts in the water and scoop up fish from the river.

He could think of fish because they were the only edible animals he had seen so far. He hadn't been to the Golden Centipede Tribe yet, so he knew nothing about the outside world.

Zhuang Yu's method was to tie arrows with spider silk, shoot fish with a crossbow, and then pull back the fish shot with the spider silk.

He had tried Zhi's spider silk, which was very tough and soft, even surprisingly resilient. It would definitely withstand the weight of a fish.

Of course, after hitting the fish, there would be a bloody smell, attracting wild beasts to fight for the wounded fish. He wasn't sure if the spider silk could withstand the pull of the wild beasts, so he had to pull back the arrows before the wild beasts snatched the wounded fish.

As for the crossbow, Zhuang Yu, as an archaeologist, had heard someone explain the production process of the ancient crossbow, a very old and simple craft. But that was one of the most lethal weapons left by the ancients.

Because he had only heard about the process of making it, he had never actually tried it himself, so he had to try the craft himself.

So, under the big pear tree, Zhuang Yu started chopping wood.

A group of little radishes had already jumped into the water, with curious little heads poking out of the surface, "What is Brother Yu doing again?"

"Making wooden shelves, right? The wooden shelves Brother Yu made for us are so useful. We put all our stone bowls on them, all neat and tidy. Our collective mountain cave is not messy at all now."

Zhuang Yu not only chopped wood but also boiled a pot of water to cook the tendon from the dinosaur, making it tougher for use as the crossbow string.

Perhaps because it was his first time making a crossbow, Zhuang Yu spent a little more time, and the finished product was not a crossbow but a ballista.

To provide enough force to penetrate the fish scales, the ballista was slightly larger and not very easy to move, and it was also difficult to string. So he simply made it into a ballista.

A group of little radishes looked at the strange ballista curiously, "What is this? I've never seen it before."

Zhuang Yu smiled and waved, "Let's go, let's go hunting."

The children were stunned. Hunting? Wasn't that something only the hunting team members could do? Only the giant beast warriors could hunt, that was their glory and pride.

But Brother Yu just said, let them go hunting together? So a group of little radishes were completely stunned. This was something they admired but found hard to believe.

In the Tribe, giant beast warriors were respected and admired by others because they could hunt for the Tribe.

The children were first stunned, then they climbed out of the pool excitedly, "Ah, Brother Yu, are we really going hunting?"
