Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 24: Wolf Fang Arrow

Breakfast still needed some time to cook. Li Wei drank his portion of dew water, then selected several suitable wooden sticks from the firewood pile and began carving wooden spears.

These were currently their most effective weapons against the wolf pack.

But at this moment, Penny brought over a wooden spear that looked somewhat different.

"George, this wooden spear is for you."

As she spoke, a line of information appeared.

[Professional Craftsman*** has gifted you a well-crafted wooden spear. Due to her professional characteristics, this wooden spear deals slightly higher damage.]

Well then!

Li Wei was naturally quite happy. This really showed how specialization leads to expertise. Comparing the wooden spear he had carved himself earlier with the one Penny had carved, they were completely different things.

Just in terms of material selection, there was a huge gap. Penny's wooden spear was perfectly straight from end to end, without any knots, had good hardness, reasonable balance, and felt quite comfortable to hold—it was simply outstanding among wooden spears, like the handsome rich guy or beautiful rich girl of spears.

It could be called a work of art."Don't be surprised. I'll take care of your weapons from now on."

Penny said this very seriously.

Of course, Li Wei didn't believe it at all. Even if Penny kept her promise in the future, he would still have to give up some benefits in return.

Half an hour later, Fila finished cooking.

Breakfast was quite lavish and free.

There was wheat porridge and roasted wolf meat, though it was a bit bland.

"We're running low on salt at home. At most two months, we'll run out. This place is very remote, there won't be any traveling merchants. When we get the chance in the future, we'll have to go outside the mountains to buy some, but most likely we won't be able to get any. This plague is spreading very quickly..."

While eating, Fila said this as if making casual conversation.

Neither Li Wei nor Penny responded. Family development was no easy task, especially in wilderness like this.

Actually, Li Wei really wanted to ask whether they should continue onward to that so-called Vail Province, but he didn't dare to ask.

After breakfast, Fila and Penny both returned to the house to sleep and rest, specifically instructing Li Wei not to make any rash moves.

Of course he wouldn't make any rash moves. Although it was daytime now, with just himself, he couldn't see where those wolves were hiding at all. If he got ambushed, he'd die with grievance.

But fortunately, he could still do other things.

Crossing over the wall, weeding in the farmland, and sowing the remaining half acre of farmland with wheat—this was Fila's suggestion. Although it was already almost July, harvesting a little was better than nothing. No matter what, his current Professional Farmer bonus was quite powerful.

The wheat sprouts in the two fields were growing strong and delightfully vigorous.

So there was no need to hide anything anymore—Fila and Penny had long guessed his profession was Farmer.

He worked busily until noon, and the wolf pack still hadn't appeared. When Li Wei jumped back into the camp, both Fila and Penny had woken up and come out.

"We need to go out to fetch water. People can endure, but the ox needs to drink."

"Penny, you stand at a high point to keep watch. George, you cover me."

Fila proposed a new plan.

But Penny had a different opinion. "Mom, George, we need to decide whether to abandon this ox. Do you think when those four wolves charge, George alone can hold them off? He'd be lucky to save his own life—how could he cover you?"

"So, either we endure a bit longer and wait two days until my injuries heal, then we go out together—we need to fight a decisive battle with the wolf pack, and we must kill all the wolves to end this war."

"Or even if you have different opinions, we can't go out today. George, you need a hunting bow."

"Alright!"

Li Wei was persuaded. Indeed, they needed to fight an annihilation battle, or at least have the ability to maneuver against the wolf pack. Otherwise, they shouldn't engage in battle.

That black wolf was the Wolf King, possessing the ability to summon other gray wolves periodically. Never mind what kind of fantasy bug this was—it was simply the reality.

Fila didn't say anything more. After adding some fresh grass they had cut yesterday for Old Ox, she stood there melancholically, lost in thought.

"George, come help."

Penny began making a hunting bow, using wood she had stored away at some point. It seemed she had made these preparations long ago.

The process of making the hunting bow involved heating it with fire. As for the specific operating method, Li Wei just followed orders, being bossed around by Penny in circles, but he was quite willing.

"If Sam hadn't died, he would have been an outstanding hunter. George, I hope you can become an outstanding hunter."

As evening approached and the hunting bow was finally completed, Penny instructed Li Wei on stringing the bow while hinting at something. "Now, carve some wooden arrows yourself, using wolf teeth for arrowheads. These are consumables—you need to learn to make them yourself. Don't worry about fletched arrows; within twenty meters, unfletched wooden arrows have pretty good killing power too."

[Professional Craftsman*** has gifted you a simple hunting bow and taught you some knowledge about making wooden arrows.]

[Friendly reminder: Because of her gift, if you can complete the wolf menace mission, she will also receive additional Family Contribution.]

——

Making wooden arrows was slightly simpler, though it still required quite good processing ability.

But after making that simple hunting bow, Penny's wounds had reopened somewhat, so Li Wei had to make them himself.

According to her, the most important thing for unfletched wooden arrows was balance, so when carving, he needed to pay attention to length and straightness.

But the specific balance to adopt depended on how they performed when he shot them.

Therefore, he needed to learn to make wooden arrows himself—this was a process Penny couldn't help him with.

As for wolf teeth, they had plenty. Each wolf had about twenty-plus teeth suitable for making arrowheads.

Currently, the family had hunted three wolves, meaning theoretically they could make over sixty arrows.

However, wolf teeth were divided into canines and incisors, with the four canine teeth being the most lethal.

The four canine teeth from the old wolf Li Wei had luckily killed over a month ago had all been taken away by Sam yesterday, packaged up to make the most powerful wolf-tooth arrows, which ended up being lost outside along with the hunting bow.

So at this moment, Li Wei could only make eight wolf-tooth arrows.

Night fell, and wolf howls sounded again. They could even hear these wolves running around outside the camp.

Both Fila and Penny came out of the room, lighting several bonfires in the camp. Fila even stood on the ox cart holding a wooden spear, loudly cursing into the dark night. It was clear she was trying hard to suppress her fear.

Penny, however, didn't seem to have as much fear. She walked back and forth in the camp, occasionally going to the simple storage shed to search through things. After a long while, she actually found several beautiful pheasant feathers.

"George, our luck is pretty good. We can make two fletched arrows. Let me tell you, there's a big difference between fletched and unfletched arrows. As long as you can hit your target, within forty meters, it's possible to snipe and kill that black wolf."
