According to Alice, the four wolves had come without any warning. The three girls were washing Zhang Tie's clothes by the brook, but all of a sudden, a wolf had drilled out of the bushes downstream of the brook. Frightened by the sudden appearance of the wolf, Alice had screamed out loud. Then, the three girls had started to run away. When the three girls had started to run away, Alice had looked back and found that it wasn't one wolf, but four.
It was rare for a wolf pack to appear within 5 km of the Wild Wolf Castle in the daytime. What was more, Zhang Tie found that the four wolves were the ones that had attacked him last time. Zhang Tie would never mistake them, because among the two wolves that had run away, the slightly larger one had a circle of brown-red fur around its neck and an incomplete ear. It was exactly the same as the head wolf of the pack that had attacked him last time.
Finally, when the wolf ran away, it looked back at Zhang Tie with eyes full of hatred. Zhang Tie would never mistake it.
Why would this pack of wolves appear around him twice? Moreover, they seemed to target him? There was a thick smell of strangeness in it. What Zhang Tie couldn't tolerate the most was that these four wolves had almost killed the three women who were related to him. Zhang Tie had made up his mind to completely kill these two beasts. If he didn't get rid of these two beasts and figure out what had happened, he would never give up.
Originally, Zhang Tie wanted to participate in the loner's survival training alone. However, Zhang Tie wanted to use the Castle of Black Iron to quickly level up. Now, Zhang Tie found that he had another reason to go to the Castle of Black Iron. It seemed that his survival training had just begun.
While the guys and women of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood were gritting their teeth and preparing for the roast of wolf meat in the evening, Zhang Tie came to the Wild Wolf Castle alone with a wolf.
Instead of staying in the square of the Wild Wolf Castle, Zhang Tie directly brought the wolf to the Iron Smelting Workshop.
The Iron Smelting Workshop was still in full swing. Over the past two days, the supply of iron ore had increased by four to five times. Those who had been complaining about the lack of ore were now overjoyed. Zhang Tie casually glanced around and saw that a steam engine had been built in the Iron Smelting Workshop. It wasn't easy for these guys.
After entering the Iron Smelting Workshop, before Zhang Tie opened his mouth, a guy called Peter, who was familiar with Zhang Tie, had shouted.
"Aiya, the most popular person in the bonfire party is here …" Peter walked out of the Iron Smelting Workshop and patted Zhang Tie's shoulder. "I heard that you were in the limelight in the bonfire party. He had picked up two beauties all by himself! How does it taste? "
"It feels good to hold it!" Zhang Tie also smiled.
"Just a hug?" Peter asked with a sneaky look.
"What else do you want?"
"Is there anyone …" Peter made a gesture that all men understood.
"It's not that bad yet!" Zhang Tie's forehead was covered with sweat. At this moment, Zhang Tie found that no matter how homebody a man was, he couldn't do anything about it. Even those guys who had been hiding in the Iron Smelting Workshop these days would talk about women the same way.
"Brother, do your best. Don't regret it if you miss it in the future!" Peter said in a heartfelt tone. Then, he saw the wolf on Zhang Tie's back being tied by a rope. Zhang Tie forcefully swallowed his saliva and couldn't move his eyes away from the wolf on Zhang Tie's back. Looking at the wolf on his back, they couldn't move their eyes away. The treatment of these guys in the iron-smelting workshop was only a bit better than that of miners. Every day, they would get a bit more dried rations, and occasionally, they would get to eat some meat. They didn't even know if they could eat it once a week. Therefore, the moment they saw the wolf on Zhang Tie's back, their eyes started to shine with greed. Those who had eaten wolf meat knew that there was actually not much difference between wolf meat and dog meat. If one knew how to cook, one could also cook wolf meat in many different ways.
Under Peter's astonished gaze, Zhang Tie directly threw the wolf to Peter. "I just killed it an hour ago, so it's still fresh. If you deal with it now, all the brothers in the Iron Smelting Workshop will have meat to eat tonight. This meat is enough for you to eat until tomorrow!"
"This … this is for us!" Peter asked in surprise.
"Of course, I got it today. I'm going to give it to all of you. By the way, I want to ask for your help!"
"Brothers, we have meat to eat tonight!" Peter laughed happily and called out to the people in the workshop. A large group of people immediately ran out of the workshop with shining eyes.
"Where's the meat? Where …"
"Where's the meat?"
Seeing their hungry looks, Zhang Tie found that the guys in the workshop were more like wolves.
Seeing the wolf in Peter's hand, a few of the guys snatched the wolf and ran away without saying a word. A few guys chased after them and shouted, "Remember to take a little bit of meat to the girls to exchange for some wild vegetables. We need to cook a pot of soup!"
"Get some wild pepper and seasoning, and keep one leg to roast …"
"Wolf whip, keep the wolf whip …"
Zhang Tie started sweating again …
Knowing that there would be fresh wolf meat to eat tonight, all the people in the Iron Smelting Workshop cheered up.
"Brother, what can we do for you? Just tell us!" Peter seemed to be afraid that Zhang Tie would change his mind, so he had people drive the wolf away before patting his chest and asking for help.
After hearing Zhang Tie's request, Peter let out a sigh. "I thought it was something important. Fine, follow me, I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"
Undoubtedly, Zhang Tie, who had delivered wolf meat to the guys in the Iron Smelting Workshop, was the most popular person in the entire workshop. Many guys warmly greeted him. Peter directly led Zhang Tie to the finished products area of the workshop and pointed at a large pile of products. "These are all made by us using low-carbon steel. Their quality is much better than that of the first batch. Although it's not easy to control the degree of carburizing, compared to the weapons processed by the factories in Blackhot City, they're good enough to be made into short javelins for throwing!"
In the finished products area, there were some weapons made by these guys, mainly sabers, swords, and protective equipment. Given the craftsmanship, they were all very childish, and the quality was not flattering. No wonder nobody was interested in them. Besides, there were several long spears. Due to the relatively simple processing process, the long spears looked decent. However, Zhang Tie estimated that few people would be willing to exchange for long spears here. Finally, Zhang Tie's target — — javelins for throwing were piled up together with these items in the largest quantity like bundles of straws. These spears were the easiest products to make. It was also the most popular product produced by this iron smelting workshop. For ordinary people, it was very difficult for these javelins to display their power when they were alone. However, when they were hunting in a group, especially when dozens or hundreds of people were hunting together, these javelins could display their power. Relying on the probability of a blind cat catching a dead mouse, these spears could exert their power in encirclement.
Peter directly took out one spear from the pile and put it in Zhang Tie's hand.
Holding the spear, Zhang Tie felt it in his hand and found that it was indeed much smoother than throwing with the long spear. Additionally, the length of the spear was only about 13 m. Holding it in his hand, Zhang Tie felt it was easier to control.
The entire spear was like an enlarged embroidery needle. A streamlined, sharp spear head was connected to a wooden spear shaft without any decoration. The only thing that confused Zhang Tie was that the wooden spear shaft connected to the spear head was not completely straight. Instead, Zhang Tie could feel that the wooden spear shaft was divided into four sections with different thicknesses from the beginning to the end. After taking a closer look at the other spears' shafts, Zhang Tie found that they all had the same shape. This made Zhang Tie a bit confused.
"Why is the spear shaft in this shape? Shouldn't it be straight like the spear shaft?"
"You've never used a spear before?"
"No!"
"That explains it. The design of this kind of spear was only understood before the Catastrophe. According to the principle of aerodynamics, a spear with a thick section and a thin section would have less resistance when flying in the air, making it more stable. Compared with a spear of the same thickness, it would fly farther and more powerful. Not only the spear shafts are like this, but also the shafts of those arrows which have the strictest requirements!"
Zhang Tie had not imagined that there were so many secrets to it. However, since it was something that had existed before the Catastrophe and was related to aerodynamics that Zhang Tie had never heard about, Zhang Tie was no longer curious about it. He did not want to show his ignorance. These guys who liked hammering in the Iron Smelting Workshop all day long were indeed extraordinary.
"How about it? Do you want to have a try in the field behind..."
"No need, just pick some good ones for me!" Zhang Tie shook his head. At this moment, he didn't want to expose his real strength in front of the public. Holding the javelin, Zhang Tie's heart raced as he stared at the lampshade of a street lamp 40 steps away from the entrance of the Iron Smelting Workshop. At the same time, that mysterious feeling appeared once again. In Zhang Tie's senses, that conical feeling that allowed him to have a mysterious connection with the lampshade 40 steps away reappeared. This was not confidence, but certainty. Zhang Tie knew that as long as he wanted, he could accurately hit the lampshade 40 steps away with his javelin. Even though he was running, he could still maintain such a terrifying accuracy and hit rate. As long as he had enough strength, he would be able to accurately throw the spear to the place he wanted to hit. It was as simple as breathing and walking. Zhang Tie didn't know what was going on. He only knew that something strange had happened to his body. If his body was compared to a machine, Zhang Tie felt that one hour ago, a function switch of his body seemed to have been turned on all of a sudden. Closely after that, he gained a terrifying throwing ability. It seemed that as long as he held anything in his hand and casually weighed it, he would be able to throw it to the place where he wanted it to be...
God knows what was going on!
… …
"Is one bundle enough?" Peter asked straightforwardly.
"No, it's too much. I only need six!" Zhang Tie was startled. There were at least 12 spears in this bundle. How could he use so many of them?
"Fine, it's up to you. It's easy to make. It doesn't need much iron and steel. It's not complicated to make wooden rods. We have tools here. If you break them, you can come and replace them at any time..."
"Fine, next time when I get more delicious ones, I will send them to you!"
"Fine..." Peter smiled. "Brothers, did you hear that? We will have meat to eat from now on. This black-haired guy is a ruthless guy who could easily kill two or three wolves!"
Zhang Tie also smiled. He felt that although the guys in the Iron Smelting Workshop were introverted and not good at socializing, they were really easy to get along with. As long as you treated them well, they would also treat you well. It was very comfortable to get along with such guys, because he was also the same kind of person.
When Zhang Tie left the Wild Wolf Castle, he was already carrying six spears on his back. Peter had even gifted him a spear container that they had made for him. With the six spears on his back, it would be convenient for him to move.
