Chapter 16 Clairvoyance and Percussion Drill

The use, invention of tools is one of the main characteristics that distinguishes humans from other species.

The sophistication of tools directly determines the efficiency of human beings.

Just like the sapper shovel brought by Wang Xu made with the advanced alloy technology of later generations has increased the efficiency of logging countless times, the ink wolf who originally used stone tools to cut down a tree that is one person thick requires at least a whole day and a lot of manpower to complete.

But yesterday there was a sapper shovel, a giant tree with a diameter of more than a meter, and three of them were cut down in one day, and by the way, a wild boar was hunted.

The sophistication of the tools is clear for the efficiency gains.

At the same time, it is the same in terms of weapons, a man in iron armor cannot do any effective damage to a wild man dressed in animal skin.

There is also a huge difference in the lethality of the Iron Arrow and the Wolf Tooth Arrow.

And the more precious the tool, the more reluctant people are to use it.

There are a total of twelve arrows in the ink wolf quiver, three of which are iron arrowheads, and the rest are beast tooth arrows, but judging from the degree of wear and tear of the arrows, the iron arrowheads, which are obviously sharper, are used less.

"The magic arrow is so precious, how can it be abused." After listening to Wang Xu's question, Mo Wolf said righteously.

The 'fine tradition' of not using good things and putting them bad has been handed down from ancient times.

Wang Xu smiled, "The beast tooth arrow is not sharp enough, there is no accuracy in long-distance shooting, and you can only shoot small prey, no wonder you have such superb archery skills but you don't hunt too much prey." ”

The ink wolf was stunned, touching the beast's teeth and arrows with a puzzled face.

"Beast tooth arrows are made of wild beast teeth and wood, not to mention light weight, if the beast teeth have not been tempered, it is easy to weathered and brittle over time, so that the range and accuracy of the bow and arrow are greatly reduced." Wang Xu explained.

"But the workmanship of this arrow is quite delicate, and it doesn't look like you can make it here." Wang Li played with the iron arrow and muttered, "It looks a bit like Zhao Guo's craftsmanship." ”

"Zhao Guo?" Wang Xu frowned.

"This is a gift from the gods when the king prays from the altar!" The ink wolf said with some excitement.

Wang Xu stopped the king from leaving, "The gods gave you to use it to protect the clansmen, use it more, we will have more magic arrows in the future." ”

The ink wolf glared at Wang Li angrily, and went to the side to fiddle with the barbecue.

"Even if you're stupid, your temper is still so big." Wang Li looked at the back of the ink wolf and snorted softly.

"Do you know what the prayer offerings are at the altar of the Lonely Bamboo Country?" Wang Xu asked.

Wang Li frowned: "Three animals? ”

"It's a slave." Wang Xu said.

"Huh? Human sacrifice? Wang Li was shocked.

"The Lonely Bamboo Kingdom was inherited from Yin Shang, and the sacrifice was mainly slaves." Wang Xu sighed, "You have also seen the combat power of the Lonely Bamboo Country, if you want to hunt down living slaves, you should understand how much it costs." ”

Wang Li pursed his lips, "The big husband's blood stains the battlefield, that's an honor." ”

"For ordinary people like them, it's an honor to live well." Wang Xu said seriously.

The king looked away and turned to torture the golden eagle.

"Goo~!" The golden eagle was dissatisfied with Wang Li's big hand, and looked at his master for help, but the chain on his feet was held by Wang Li, and he couldn't fly if he wanted to.

Wang Xu doesn't dare to let go of the golden eagle now, with the golden eagle's current ability to survive in the wild, he may not survive more than two episodes and be eaten by nearby birds of prey.

"It's a pity that you envy the children of the sect to raise such a good eagle dove into a domestic chicken." Wang Li sighed while stroking the golden eagle.

"I didn't raise it for hunting." Wang Xu smiled.

"What's that for?" Wang Li's face was full of doubts.

"I guess it's a brother who was born and died." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"You're talking to a flat-haired brute?" Wang Li's eyes widened: "Do you all envy people in the door who are so good at playing?" ”

"I can't explain it to a fool like you." Wang Xu chuckled and shook his head, took the roasted rabbit handed over by the clansmen, cut it into pieces with a knife, kept some for himself, and let the clansmen divide the rest equally.

"It's not enough to stuff your teeth." Wang Li muttered.

"Why don't you hunt two more?" Wang Xu chuckled.

"Ben Gongzi is not your shooter." Wang Li rolled his eyes.

Wang Xu smiled, suddenly got up and squatted down next to a towering tree next to him, and came back from cutting a herb.

"What is this?" Wang Li asked curiously.

"Nightshade, an herb that relieves stomach pain." Wang Xu was full of smiles, this experience of collecting medicinal plants in the wild is still very interesting.

"It looks like a fruit." Wang Li took one and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

"If you eat like this, you're likely to die of diarrhea." Wang Xu said with a smile.

The king shook his hand and glared angrily, "Didn't you say it was a herb?" ”

"It's a medicine that is three poisons, haven't you heard of it? Poison is sometimes good medicine. Wang Xu smiled and collected a few nightshades and put them in the bag, "There are two sides to everything, and in the hands of different people, the effect is different." ”

Wang Li frowned, as if he had thought of something.

Wang Xu took out a compass to determine the next direction, and then summoned the rested tribesmen to continue on their way.

"Emperor, further on, you will reach the road to Yandu." On the edge of a relatively empty slope, the ink wolf reported.

Wang Xu walked up the slope and looked at it, and there was indeed an obviously man-groomed dirt road below, surrounded by low shrubs and no tall trees.

"The Yan people cut down all the trees here and built a palace." Ink Wolf explained.

"There are often swallow people coming and going here?" Wang Xu asked.

"A hundred miles ahead, there is a small town in Yanguo, and our annual tribute is sent there, and Yan people rarely come over." Ink Wolf shook his head and said.

"And how did they inform you?" Wang Xu wondered.

"Every year when it's time to pay taxes, the monarch will take us with him, and he doesn't need to be notified." Ink Wolf replied.

Wang Xu frowned slightly: "Have you paid this year's taxes?" ”

"No, the monarch said that this year's tax is postponed." Ink Wolf said.

"And how did he know?" Wang Xu was stunned.

"I don't know, it should have been foretold by the gods." Ink Wolf shook his head.

"You gods are really not simple." Wang Li glanced at Wang Xu with a smile: "Even our army knows about the destruction of Yan this year." ”

Wang Xu ignored him, and dug a shovel on the slope with a Luoyang shovel, "Dig a deep pit one and a half high here." ”

"Huh?" The ink wolf was stunned, and didn't seem to understand what Wang Xu meant.

Wang Xu didn't answer, and the Luoyang shovel skillfully swung it.

The ink wolf and the clansmen looked at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "How can the emperor do it himself." ”

"Then you come." Wang Xu threw the Luoyang shovel to the ink wolf, and gave the sapper shovel in Wang Li's hand to another clansman, stood at the highest point of the slope, and took out a telescope to look in all directions.

"I saw that you were very skilled in shoveling the ground just now, why do you still have to do such rough work." Wang Li asked curiously.

"Rough work is just the definition of you laymen, and we envy these activities as pastime." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"You people in the envy door really know how to play." Wang Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, and looked at the telescope in Wang Xu's hand curiously, "What is this?" ”

"Clairvoyance." Wang Xu said.

"What?" Wang Li's pupils shrank and he exclaimed.

"Clairvoyance." Wang Xu smiled and put the telescope in front of Wang Li's eyes.

"Ahh Wang Li screamed in fright and rolled down the slope.

Wang Xu shook his head with a smile, and continued to observe the terrain, he didn't see the town that the ink wolf said, it may be too far away, but he did see a river in the distance, and there were farmland on both sides of the riverbank.

"Is this really clairvoyance?" Wang Li, who was covered in mud and embarrassed, climbed up and asked in a trembling voice.

"Take it and play with it." Wang Xu threw the telescope to him and took out the map to estimate.

This slope should be considered the only entrance, and it is difficult to find the Lonely Bamboo Country through the jungle from other places.

The sentinels come here to reconnoiter for about an hour every day, and as long as they keep digging traps along the way, unless Yan Guo sends a team of thousands of people, when these people come, they will also have about the same casualties, and they will have been discovered by the sentries a long time ago.

There are sapper shovels and Luoyang shovels such sharp weapons, a pit more than two meters deep ink wolf and others dug in twenty minutes, Wang Xu cut down the surrounding small trees, sharpened the two ends and inserted them at the bottom of the hole, covered with straw mats, and then spread a layer of floating soil, a simple trap was successful.

If you don't look carefully in broad daylight, you basically can't see any accidents.

"You people in the family also use such despicable means?" Wang Li asked with disgust on his face.

Wang Xu snatched the telescope from the reluctant Wang Li's arms, "There are often wild beasts here, and this area is full of traps, if you are lucky, the reserves of the clansmen for the winter can be solved." ”

Wang Li looked at the trap that could only allow a fox to fall into, "This kind of trap can't even catch a rabbit." ”

"Then dig bigger." Wang Xu patted the ink wolf on the shoulder.

As soon as the ink wolf heard that it was for the clan's winter reserves, he instantly cheered up his spirit, and led the clansmen to dig the pit harder, and more than a dozen clansmen took shifts, and the work efficiency was very high.

In order to improve efficiency, Wang Xu took out a valuable percussion drill.

The percussion drills used in archaeology are all electric storage type, because the tomb road is long and wet when the tomb is lowered, and it is dangerous to use the wire percussion drill.

The reason why the impact drill is precious now is because this thing is used less once, although there are solar charging panels, but that can only charge something with a small volt such as a mobile phone and notebook.

When the impact drill easily pushed a giant tree with a diameter of one meter with a huge movement, everyone, including Wang Li, knelt on the ground with weak legs, and was full of horror at the giant tree that collapsed in the smoke and dust.

If the 'miracles' brought by Wang Xu before were barely acceptable to them, then the shock brought by Wang Xu at this time was already the incarnation of the true god.
