"What is he doing?"

"What is this?"

Seeing that not far away, Long Eighteen was directing three clergymen to hold the pile of long or round metal bars together, and the onlookers were all staring at him with wide eyes and curious faces.

The Eastern Emperor by the river also stared at the scene on the hillside suspiciously, but when he saw that those wooden and iron pieces gradually formed a strangely shaped beast shape, he suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed: "It's a shark tooth!

The quicksand on the side changed his face slightly, and his eyes full of mockery gradually became solemn.

On the cliff to the west of the valley, the brocade-clothed young man who had been staring at the bottom of the valley instantly widened his eyes: "Hall Master, look, what is that?"

"It's shark teeth. ”

The old man sitting on the rattan chair had opened his eyes at some point, and the wrinkles on his face as deep as a ravine stretched out in an instant, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years younger in an instant.

"Shark tooth? That's the shark tooth of the cross?"

The brocade-clothed young man said incredulously, although he also vaguely guessed what the things that Long Eighteen asked him to assemble, he was still a little incredulous.

The old man shook his head gently, and there seemed to be endless years flashing in the depths of his deep eyes, and he sighed: "Being rich is capricious." ”

......

......

Ye Hao's face also showed a solemnity that had never been seen before.

After seeing the pile of components that Long Eighteen threw out of the Na Ring, he already understood that Eighteen Young was going to assemble a powerful giant crossbow.

It's just that he didn't expect it to be shark teeth.

Shark tooth is the name of a giant ballista.

It is also one of the most powerful ranged killers in the giant ballista.

On the battlefield of humans and demons, this kind of giant crossbow does not appear very often, especially after the machine door is destroyed, no one has seen it anymore.

The shark tooth has great lethality, and its biggest advantage is that it can fire five giant crossbows in a row compared to the blue wolf giant crossbow, which can only shoot one giant crossbow at a time.

This is the only kind of Zhenjun ballista in the Great Xia Kingdom, and even in the entire four kingdoms of mankind, that has a continuous firing function.

But its appearance was only a flash in the pan, and it suddenly disappeared on the stage of the battlefield of humans and demons a hundred years ago, but the shock it brought to the demon army was unprecedented.

Some people even assert that if it weren't for the destruction of the machine gate, if the shark tooth could be vigorously promoted on the battlefield, at most thirty years, the human race would be able to completely defeat the demon army and dominate the entire continent.

However, if it was only if, the shark tooth eventually faded into obscurity with the demise of the door.

Later generations have made many speculations about the reasons for the disappearance of this battlefield killing weapon, and the most recognized is the disappearance of the production drawings and the lack of imperial costume masters.

However, only a very small number of people know why this is not the case.

After the door was destroyed, although there were many imperial costume drawings lost along with the "Luohe Book", the production drawings of the shark tooth were not lost.

The fundamental reason why it has not been promoted on the battlefield and not built in batches is that the cost is too high, and even the princes of a country cannot afford to build it.

As we all know, bows and crossbows are inseparable from bowstrings when shooting, whether it is a standard bow and arrow in the army or a Lingyuan crossbow.

However, the power of the shark-toothed crossbow to launch crossbow arrows does not come from the bowstring, but completely relies on the power of the spirit pattern rune array on the ballista, which requires that the materials used to make the ballista body must be specially selected and polished, and the carved runes are special in every place, and the crossbow arrows used are also specially made exclusive rune arrows.

All of this is inseparable from money.

What's more, in order to activate the rune array on the shark tooth, a piece of high-grade spirit crystal is needed every time as a price.

The ordinary people of the Firmament Continent all used gold and silver as their common currency, and cultivators liked to use the Spirit Yuan Crystal as a bargaining chip for purchase and exchange. Lingyuan spars are divided into advantages and disadvantages, and are divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the purity of the spirit element, and the most common low-grade spirit crystal can be exchanged for about 100 gold coins. A medium-grade spirit crystal can be exchanged for a hundred low-grade spirit crystals, and a high-grade spirit crystal is one million gold coins!

In addition to the fact that the price was too expensive, coupled with the fact that the shark-toothed giant crossbow weighed thousands of catties, was inconvenient to carry, and the combination was complicated, it was naturally abandoned by the military, let alone ordinary cultivators.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that at this year's ranking competition for the new inner temple disciples, someone actually moved it to the venue of the competition, which immediately caused a riot.

"This is a competition between cultivators, not a battlefield, how can you use a giant crossbow!"

"It's not fair, who has ever seen a giant crossbow fight with a man?"

After the shock, there was an uproar, and everyone protested.

"Who can't carry a giant crossbow to the arena? Don't forget, Long Eighteen himself is a bow cultivator, so he can use any bow and crossbow at will! You dare, a giant crossbow is not an arrow?"

Du Xichun, who won a game and was quietly waiting for the second game, spoke indifferently, and the people around him were immediately dumb when they heard this.

Du Xichun is right, bow cultivators not only have to learn to use all kinds of Lingyuan crossbows, but also the giant crossbow in the army is also one of the compulsory courses, no one can deny that no matter how big the crossbow arrow is, it is also an arrow.

Ye Hao didn't expect Du Xichun to speak for Long, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.

Ouyang Yuxia's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, she was born in Jiangmen, she was familiar with the art of war since she was a child, and she dabbled in all kinds of siege weapons, and when she saw the shark-toothed giant crossbow on the hillside, she naturally thought of how terrifying the lethality of this giant crossbow would be among the ten thousand armies.

"Your Excellency, isn't it illegal for Dragon Eighteen to use siege weapons?"

Fan Jian originally wanted to see Long Eighteen make a fool of himself with a gloating face, but when he saw the ballista, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but shout loudly in the direction of Zhuang Yusheng.

Zhuang Yusheng was staring at Long Eighteen with a frown, and he was also surprised by this guy's abnormal behavior.

One of the rules of ranked tournaments is to do whatever it takes to win, with the aim of testing the best potential of the contestants so that they can be taught according to their aptitude in the future.

Having said that, the criteria for judging victory and defeat are still in the hands of him and the dozen or so clergy, according to the scenes that have appeared in the ranking tournaments over the years, some people will use poison, some people will cheat, and some people will use powerful Horcruxes, like Dragon Eighteen, who directly use a giant crossbow is the first time to encounter it.

Large crossbow arrows are inconvenient to carry, and they are not easy to operate, and often require the cooperation of several people to exert their due power, but the shark-toothed giant crossbow is one of the outliers, each of its components is controlled by a rune array, as long as there are enough spirit crystals to activate the rune array, a person can control the entire ballista with the control hub above.

However, whether it was a violation to carry the ballista to the arena or not, Zhuang Yusheng was also hesitating in his heart, after all, it was the first time he encountered it, and at this moment he heard Fan Jian's sharp and piercing scream.
