Late at night.

On the abandoned arrow tower near the south gate of Quicksand City, a wolf-shaped city defense ballista has been assembled.

Ye Haotian stood next to the ballista, carefully inspecting each component, and after making sure that there were no omissions, he took a cyan crossbow arrow more than three meters long from Zhuzhu on the side and placed it on the chamber.

The green wolf crossbow, the unique city defense giant crossbow of the Great Xia Kingdom, is composed of Qiankun box, earth dragon pile, and armor-piercing talisman arrows, with a range of up to 980 meters, which is three times that of ordinary giant crossbows, and its strong penetrating power can easily break through the defense of the heavily armored cavalry, and it has played a decisive role in turning the tide of the battle on the battlefield several times.

The green wolf ballista came from the Tianji Gate of the Great Xia Kingdom.

A hundred years ago, after the Tianji Gate was destroyed in the Holy War, the vast majority of the emperors in the world either died or fled, and there were fewer and fewer people in the Great Xia Kingdom who could make armor-piercing talismans, and finally had to replace the armor-piercing arrows with ordinary crossbow arrows, which led to a sharp drop in the national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom, so that the demon army broke thirteen cities in a year, and lost nearly 10,000 miles of land in the north in three years.

At the critical juncture, with the assistance of the major holy places led by the Great Leiyin Temple, Sanqingguan, Confucius Tower, and the Temple of Light, the situation on the border was barely stabilized.

A hundred years have passed, and the glorious history of the Blue Wolf Giant Crossbow shooting the Demon Army's heavy armored legion has long been a thing of the past, and the major cities of the Great Xia Kingdom can no longer see the shadow of the rows of murderous giant crossbows, even if there are a few occasionally, the crossbow arrows used are no longer those formidable rune arrays.

What no one could have imagined was that in this remote border town, on a ruined arrow tower, a complete green wolf crossbow was gradually taking shape in the hands of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Zhuzhu carried the lantern, the faint light shone on the ballista, the dark body outlined the sleeping wolf looked a little eerie, and the triangular arrow more than half a meter long emitted a palpitating cold glow like the fangs of the green wolf.

Ye Haotian stood next to the ballista, twisting the spring on the body, and after a creaking sound, the thumb-thick crossbow string had been tightened to the extreme.

"Little piggy, with its words, how many percent?" Ye Haotian teased at Zhuzhu.

Zhu Zhu stretched out her delicate little hand, gently stroked the runes on the armor-piercing arrow, thought about it, and said, "If these rune arrays are all activated, ten percent." ”

Ye Haotian smiled with satisfaction: "The green wolf crossbow can even shoot through the steel armor of the armored demon bear with the strength of the four realms, not to mention Sun Kaishan, a small guard at the peak of the three realms, now you should rest assured, right?"

Zhu Zhu shook his head: "But to activate the magic circle on the crossbow car, you need at least the cultivation of the Xuan Realm, you are only in the late stage of qi transformation, and you have injuries on your body, so you can't use it at all." ”

"You don't understand that. Ye Haotian put his hand into his arms and fumbled for a while, and when he took it out, he had an extra translucent green spar in his hand.

"Lingyuan Crystal?" Zhuzhu's eyes lit up.

Ye Haotian asked Zhu Zhu to lower the lantern and illuminate a row of small holes on the side of the ballista.

He pointed to one of the caves and said, "When the ancestor of Tianjimen invented the Spirit Pattern Xuanbing, it was for ordinary people to use it against cultivators. This green wolf ballista is no exception. It was only later that it was found that this thing was easier to exert its maximum effect in the hands of cultivators, so many improvements were made to many places, and the talisman array where the Yuan Crystal was placed was abandoned. After a long time, people on the mainland thought that the rune Xuanbing could only be used by cultivators, but in fact, they were all wrong, after this crossbow was modified by me, as long as the Yuan Crystal was installed here, the rune array on the crossbow arrow could be activated. ”

As he spoke, Ye Haotian stuffed the spar in his hand into the small hole.

......

......

On a private house less than two hundred steps away from the arrow tower, Liu Datou, Chen Cripple, and Second Sister Su were standing on it and watching Ye Haotian and Zhuzhu from afar.

Due to the long distance after dark, and the dim light on the arrow tower, they could not see clearly, but the suddenly lit rune array on the ballista did not escape the eyes of several people.

Although it was only a short moment, the three people and six eyes were round at the same time.

"He activated the talisman array on the Blue Wolf's crossbow!, his injuries healed?" Liu Datou opened his mouth wide and said in surprise.

"Impossible, even if he is cured, he is only in the late stage of the Qi Transformation Realm, don't you see that the entire ballista is lit up? Then at least the strength above the Xuan Realm can be activated. Chen Cripple said with a frown.

Second Sister Su answered: "When I shot the captain of the Demon Army Ranger three months ago, I barely shot an arrow with the strength of the three of us, at that time, the fat man, you were drained of the aura and collapsed directly on the ground, even if Ye Haotian was injured, it was impossible to activate the green wolf rune array on the ballista with the aura in his body, unless it was ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless he finds a way to activate the rune array with Yuan Crystal. Second Sister Su said another possibility.

Liu Datou looked at Second Sister Su with a shocked expression: "Array mage, how many secrets does Ye Haotian still have to hide from us?"

"No, it should be the Imperial Costume Master. ”

Chen's face also became solemn.

Liu Datou swallowed his saliva and said, "If Ye Haotian really cultivates to become an emperor costume master, even if the family is bankrupt, I have to ask him to help me make an emperor costume." At that time, even if I met a strong man at the peak of the Three Realms, I would have the strength to fight. ”

Chen lame sneered: "One set? Hmph, with your little family background, it would be good to be able to change a few armor pieces." ”

Liu Datou glared at Chen Cripple and said, "With my friendship with Ye Haotian, I don't believe that he doesn't even give this face." ”

Chen lame sneered: "Friendship? I remember that when he first entered the city, you were going to make a death shot at the auction." ”

Hearing this, Liu Datou said angrily: "Cripple Chen, don't talk about the cool words, don't think I don't know about the fact that you can't assassinate and be trapped in the agency house." ”

"You two stop arguing. ”

Second Sister Su interrupted Chen Cripple, who was about to fight back: "You don't know Haotian's temper, since he set up the green wolf crossbow behind our back, it must be for secrecy, and I don't want anyone to know." ”

"Why? We're not outsiders. Liu Datou was puzzled.

"It's not clear, the only thing we can do at the moment is to wait and see what happens, and no one should be smart. Second Sister Su said.

"Yes. Liu Datou nodded vigorously, and suddenly remembered a person, and said, "By the way, you say, will it have something to do with the border patrol general who entered the city the day before yesterday?"

"Him?"

Second Sister Su and Chen Cripple glanced at each other, and their expressions became solemn.

......

......

On the arrow tower, Ye Haotian adjusted the shooting direction of the ballista and called Zhuzhu to his side, pointed to an open space in front of the south gate of the city and said: "When Sun Kaishan goes out of the city, I will lead him there, and this arrow will depend on you." ”

Zhu Zhu looked forward along the crossbow: "City gate?"

"Yes, he will leave here tomorrow, I will wait for him at the south gate, there are still some small problems on the crossbow car that have not been solved, and at present, it can only exert seventy percent of its power, we must shoot him to death before he activates the imperial suit, don't forget, the guardian barrier is the strongest defensive imperial suit in the second-order imperial suit. Ye Haotian said while taking Yuan Jing from the ballista.

"Do it during the day, a lot of people will see it. Zhu Zhu reminded.

Ye Haotian handed Yuan Jing into Zhuzhu's hands: "Killing people in the chaos is a big deal, at night, the light emitted by the rune array is easy to detect, he has been on the island for many years, and he is a person from Tianjimen, so he is too familiar with the green wolf crossbow." ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhu Zhu agreed, looked up at the private house in the distance, and there was a flash of red light in her blue eyes: "They haven't left yet." ”

Ye Haotian also glanced over there: "Don't pay attention to them, let's go home." ”

Zhuzhu didn't speak again, reached out and grabbed the corner of Ye Haotian's clothes, and the two of them got off the arrow tower and walked towards the small courtyard not far away.
