8: Making bows and arrows

The viewers in the livestream room were also very curious.

"What did Great God Lu Fan find?"

"Great God Lu Fan looks very happy."

"Could he have found a snake's internal alchemy? If he eats it, won't his power increase greatly, making him invincible in the wilderness?"

As Lu Fan moved, the viewers could see clearly: they were several snake tendons, each a full six or seven meters long.

Pinching the incredibly tough snake tendons, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction: "Now I can make a bow and arrow."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hangjun explained: "A snake's tendon is just like a human's Achilles tendon; it's extremely resilient. As long as it's treated properly, it can be as tough as a sturdy rubber band."

The viewers in the livestream room also came to a realization.

"Doesn't that mean he'll have a ranged weapon soon? It's only the second day!"

"Great God Lu Fan is amazing."

"By the way, how do you use it? This is way too thick. Do you just tie it on directly?"

Seeing the bullet screen, Zhao Hangjun continued to explain.

A python's tendon cannot be used directly as a bowstring; it needs a certain amount of processing.

First, the python tendon must be soaked in water to soften it, then the impurities and fat on it must be washed away.

After soaking for one to two days, take the snake tendon out and strike it repeatedly with a stone to evenly break up the fibers within. Then, pull the snake tendon taut and let it stretch for a period of time.

Only after it has enough resilience can it be used as a bowstring.

Of course, the snake skin shouldn't be wasted either; Lu Fan decided to turn it into waterproof cloth.

He used a stone to scrape the blood oil and fat off the snake skin until it was completely clean, then also soaked it in water.

Wang Tao couldn't help but praise: "It's clear that Contestant Lu Fan has very rich wilderness survival experience. God is truly blessing our Huaguo."

After soaking for a day or two, the snake skin just needs to be taken out and dried in the shade.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

[Huaguo Contestant Lu Fan triggered ten thousand times rebate]

[snake tendon * 10,000]

[snake skin * 10,000]

The livestream room also began to discuss this.

"He got a rebate on snake tendons and snake skin. I thought it would be 10,000 pythons."

"That would be too terrifying."

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

[The rebated materials are based primarily on the contestant's perception; a rebate can only be triggered for materials that the contestant deems useful to themselves.]

"I see. No wonder that guy from India who ate rats got a rebate of 10,000 rats directly."

"In the hearts of our Indian brothers, rats are also an important food source."

"A rebate was triggered again just now. Huaguo's contestant An Lan received a rebate of 10,000 mangoes."

Meanwhile, in An Lan's livestream room.

"It hasn't been easy for Little Sister An Lan. She finally found something to eat."

"It's so heartbreaking for a girl."

Yu Rui, also being a girl, couldn't help but feel happy for An Lan: "That's great. She finally has food, so she won't have to go hungry."

As for those 10,000 mangoes, the Huaguo officials kept a portion of the seeds and then distributed the rest to the audience through a lucky draw.

After handling everything, Lu Fan was also exhausted. Fortunately, there was still some leftover seafood from the morning in the Shelter.

While eating, Lu Fan thought about what to do next.

At that moment, a Prompt appeared.

[A storm is coming in two days, please be prepared.]

Seeing this Prompt, he quickly thought that he could use bamboo to rebuild a more perfect Shelter, because if it rained, this current small shack wouldn't be able to hold up.

After finishing the seafood, Lu Fan took a short rest and then got up to walk toward that bamboo forest. He picked out several thick and straight bamboos and laboriously carried them back to the Shelter.

"Is he finally going to start renovating the Shelter? I knew that little shack wasn't worthy of Great God Lu Fan's status."

"Great! It's another moment for Great God Lu Fan to show off his skills."

Lu Fan hammered the thick bamboo into the ground, building a sturdier frame around the Shelter, and then secured it with vines to make the structure more stable.

After some effort, three thick bamboo walls were formed on the ground.

Then, he laid some medium-sized bamboos closely together to serve as the roof.

Next, he split some thinner bamboos into strips and wove them into bamboo mats to be laid on the ground as flooring.

This was a very time-consuming process.

The viewers in the livestream room watched his busy figure intently.

Zhao Hangjun couldn't help but speak up: "It seems we cannot view Contestant Lu Fan as an ordinary person; he is truly a master of wilderness survival."

"Lu Fan's hands-on ability is really no joke!"

"I feel like this Shelter is going to undergo a huge transformation."

"By the way, is he really an ordinary person? Why does he do everything so effortlessly?"

In the process of weaving the bamboo mats, Lu Fan found that he didn't have enough bamboo. So, he returned to the bamboo forest and picked out more suitable pieces.

After some effort, the bamboo mats were finally finished. Lu Fan then laid a thick layer of bamboo leaves on top of the Shelter to enhance the rainproofing.

Building the Shelter was a very time-consuming process; it took Lu Fan a full day and a half to finish it.

Looking at the brand-new Shelter, Lu Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and showed a satisfied smile.

"Now, I'll be able to get a good night's sleep."

Wang Tao: "In the wild, a safe Shelter is very necessary, because it can not only defend against attacks from wild beasts but also withstand cold winds and prevent illness."

In the livestream room, everyone also gave their likes.

"Awesome! This Shelter is simply perfect!"

"It's all green and looks very healthy."

"Lu Fan, keep it up! You will definitely survive very well in the wilderness!"

The sky gradually darkened, and Lu Fan added more firewood to the fire.

"Gurgle gurgle," Lu Fan's stomach growled again.

[It is now low tide; you can take this opportunity to catch fish.]

Hearing this, Lu Fan immediately decided to go to the beach to find some seafood and mix it with the bamboo rat meat to eat, so he picked up his spear.

Arriving at the beach, the moonlight sparkled on the sea surface. Lu Fan walked carefully along the coast, his eyes fixed on the water, searching for signs of fish.

Suddenly, a Prompt appeared.

[There are two Large Yellow Croakers in the shallow water ahead.]

"Large Yellow Croakers?!"

Lu Fan held his breath, slowly approached, raised his spear, and lunged it into the water.

However, his first attempt was unsuccessful; the fish were startled and swam away.

"Sigh, so close." Lu Fan was a bit annoyed but did not give up.

This time, he was more cautious, calculating the distance and angle before thrusting the spear with force again.

This time, a plump fish was impaled on the spear, its golden scales emitting a dazzling luster.

"Haha, I finally caught it!" Lu Fan said excitedly.

The livestream room also burst into cheers.

"Impressive, Lu Fan!"

"Now there's dinner to eat."
