Hephaestus polished the arrow, held it in his hand, bent his bow and set the arrow, and aimed sideways to the distance.
Phew~~~ bang!
A series of abnormal noises erupted.
I saw a butterfly nailed to a tree by a wooden arrow twenty steps away.
Hephaestus's bow and arrow skills have been extremely skilled and handy.
With this kind of skill, hunting is naturally not a problem.
"Set off!"
Hephaestus used leaves in series to cover his body, and made a simple quiver from the bark, filled it with nine polished arrows, and set out to hunt!
....
In front of a small lake.
It's calm here.
The breeze blew past, and the white clouds flowed slowly in the blue sky.
Several wild deer walked out of the woods together, went to the lake and bowed their heads to drink water.
From time to time, their ears quivered, and they looked up at their surroundings, but found no danger.
However.
in the jungle.
A big bow is being slowly pulled apart by a small hand.
"Medium!" Hephaestus let go after taking aim.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking the air sounded.
Several wild deer panicked and fled in a hurry.
But there was still a wild deer who was shot in the eye by the wooden arrow and ran frantically for more than ten steps, dripping blood all the way, before falling to the ground and dying unwillingly.
"I used four of the nine arrows, and killed two birds, one rabbit, and one deer. Hehe, enough to feed for several days!"
Hephaestus was in a good mood, picked up his bow and arrow and ran towards the dead deer.
A pair of little feet stepped on the still warm deer blood, pulling up many blood threads.
Hephaestus pulled out the arrow and put it back in the quiver, and pulled the two horns of the wild deer away from here.
The island is very pristine.
There are many beasts, and even Warcraft.
Hephaestus now doesn't think he has the ability to defeat the powerful and ferocious monsters.
So it's best to avoid what Blood Draw can't handle.
In the woods.
Hephaestus neatly dissected the prey with sharp stone flakes.
Now it's time to fire up the barbecue.
"As the god of fire and craftsmen, he can't let out fire."
Looking at a pile of dry firewood piled up.
Hephaestus scratched his head, speechless.
He has not obtained the priesthood now, so there is no way to make a fire.
Divine power is unreliable, so I can only find another way.
"Drilling wood to make fire!"
Hephaestus decided to start the fire manually.
As far as he knows, in the minority tribes of some western countries in the previous life, there was a very efficient method of making fire by drilling wood: the Iroquois method of making fire.
Hephaestus was still somewhat impressed by this.
"Drill shafts, planks, ropes...and combustibles."
Remember for a moment.
Hephaestus started to move.
Make fire tools according to the impression in his memory.
Because the memory is a little fuzzy.
There were a few mistakes along the way, and I failed because I was not familiar with the drilling.
It took Hephaestus more than half an hour to finally finish making all the tools.
They are a long wooden stick, a rectangular pressure plate with three holes drilled on it, a rope, a round balance board, and a wooden stick with a hole drilled at the bottom.
These are all made of wood, and the rope is also rubbed out of bark.
Putting the flammable dry leaves in the bottom hole of the stick, Hephaestus inserted the fire-drilling stick, looped the bark rope several times, pressed down the plate with both hands, and started to make fire.
呲~呲~
This cycle for about a minute, the speed is getting faster and faster.
Dry leaves began to smoke slowly.
Hephaestus immediately put down the fire tool, picked up the leaves and blew carefully.
After blowing a few puffs, the smoky leaves sparkled more and more, and finally a ray of flame rose!
The fire was successfully lit!
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully making the item! The system rewards [Vulcan Art]! [Charm value +1]!"
The system sound pleased Hephaestus.
Vulcan, which means that he can make fire out of thin air, no longer need these tools!
Living in the wilderness, this skill couldn't be more convenient.
Hephaestus immediately learned the Vulcan technique, and there was a lot of information in his mind. When he raised his hand, a burst of flames spewed out from his palm.
A pile of dry firewood is burning!
Hephaestus released divine fire on the prey, and after a while, the meat sizzled with oil, and the aroma was overflowing.
Although this is convenient, it also consumes a lot of divine power.
So Hephaestus did not continue to roast meat with divine fire, but with dry wood.
When the meat was cooked, the hungry Hephaestus couldn't bear it anymore, and began to bite and chew.
The meat is not seasoned and processed, even if it is cooked, it has a fishy smell.
But even so, Hephaestus still gobbled up the prey.
He had expected the food to last for a few days.
You must know that wild deer is bigger than him!
After eating these roast meats, they will be transformed into streams of energy. A lot of satiety is increased, and the limbs are stronger.
After eating the roast, Hephaestus went to the lake to wash his hands and face.
A face was reflected in the waves.
Hephaestus looked at it, and couldn't help showing an expression of disbelief.
How did you manage to have such a terrifying face?
No wonder Hera threw away her son so heartlessly.
Hold a few handfuls of lake water to wash your face.
Hephaestus immediately communicated with the system and set up all the charm points.
After waiting for a while, there was no obvious feeling.
Hephaestus let the water shine again, and found that he looked better, and he was no longer as disgusting as before.
"As long as the charm value is up, I can change my appearance."
Hephaestus felt that if he continued like this, he would become normal sooner or later.
"Eat and drink enough, and it's getting late."
Hephaestus looked up to the west.
The sun has set and is emitting its last ray, dyeing the clouds red.
The night is undoubtedly a time for wild beasts and monsters to revel.
Hephaestus doesn't intend to just live in the wild.
"Just find a safe place."
He wiped his hands and mouth with the leaves and left the lake.
After some searching, Hephaestus found a small cave.
In this way, there is no need to sleep on the tree.
Hephaestus put his bow and arrows in the cave, went out and found a lot of soft grass to spread on the ground, and lay on it comfortably.
At this moment.
It was night outside.
The river of stars turns, and the meteor flies away.
Not long.
The tired Hephaestus breathed gradually and fell asleep. One hand is always tightly grasping the big bow beside him.
Early the next morning.
Hephaestus woke up and stretched comfortably.
At this time, the light outside the cave was still very dim, shrouded in a moist and cool mist.
The sun did not shine here, and the birds were singing, which was very pleasant.
"a new day."
Hephaestus sat for a while, trying to wake himself up, and recited a sentence in his heart.
He removed the splint on his right leg, tried to move it, and found that it didn't hurt at all.
This also means that the leg injury has completely healed.
Hephaestus jumped up and down happily in the cave without any discomfort.
"It's really healed!"
"Now you won't have to be a cripple. And the hunt will be quicker."
Hephaestus rejoices in his improved chances of survival.
"Wash up and go find something to eat."
Hephaestus habitually wanted to wash, but found that he had no washing tools.
It doesn't matter if you wash your face, you can do it by the lake.
The trouble is toothbrush and toothpaste.
"I'll make these when I'm full."
Hephaestus came out of the cave barefoot with a bow and arrow on his back.
He is like a ghost, shuttling through this dense forest, coming and going like the wind.
Didn't get very far.
Hephaestus found a young wild boar in the jungle.
It was about his size, and it was sniffing the ground continuously, as if looking for food.
"Wild boar, there is pork to eat today."
"But it must be killed as quickly as possible, otherwise it may attract adult wild boars."
Hephaestus bent his bow and set an arrow, and quietly approached the wild boar cub.
Because the bowstring is made of tree fibers, it is too rough and less flexible, so the shooting range is naturally short. If you want a one-hit kill, you have to get closer.
Thirty steps...
Twenty-five steps...
twenty steps...
at this time.
The wild boar cub seemed to have sensed something and looked up vigilantly.
But Hephaestus took advantage of this opportunity and resolutely shot the arrow out.
Swish!
Pooh!
A wooden arrow pierced the wild boar cub's eyeballs into his brain.
"Aw!"
The little wild boar also uttered its last howl before dying.
Hephaestus galloped over, picked up the still twitching and struggling wild boar cub and galloped in the opposite direction.
He heard a huge and mournful beast roar from behind.
Hephaestus gave a sly grin.
Wash the boar carcasses by the lake.
Hephaestus kept the pig skin.
Boar's bristles are an excellent choice for making toothbrushes.
Back in the cave, Hephaestus lit a fire with Vulcan magic, roasted and ate the whole suckling pig, and then wiped his mouth contentedly.
"I just saw a few peppermint plants on the road, which can be transplanted to the entrance of the cave, and can be used to make toothpaste anytime and anywhere."
Hephaestus did not bring a bow this time, so he traveled lightly.
