Chapter 115: Bronze Short Sword

When he could communicate with the four generations of witches, the fifth Xuan tried to let the four generations of witches find ores.

It's a pity that the Fifth Xuan himself doesn't have the skills to find ores, and there are no obvious open-pit mines on the East China Sea, so he can't find any ore that can be smelted.

On the way out of the sea to the west back to the Fire Tribe, Fifth Xuan also tried to find ore, but did not find it that time.

At the edge of the desert, Fifth Xuan also searched many times, but found nothing.

Even when he met other totems, he also asked if any totems knew about the existence of metal, but none of the totems said that they had seen this kind of thing that was harder than rocks as the Fifth Mystery said.

This made the fifth Xuan think that there was no ore in this world for a while, and even gave up looking for it.

But he didn't expect that happiness came so suddenly, and an inadvertent visit actually made him discover a copper mine.

The discovery of ore and the completion of smelting are a sign of the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, and it is a product of the era.

Fifth Xuan couldn't wait to stop the team and refine copper ore on the spot, but he still suppressed his excitement.

"What's wrong with you? ”

Moon Totem noticed the change in the fifth Xuan's sharp eyes, and looking at the smile on the tip of the fifth Xuan's eyebrows, she was quite puzzled.

"It's a pleasure to see the Stinky Grass tribe so comfortable. ”

Fifth Xuan casually found a reason to fool around and didn't give any more explanation.

As the team moved forward, someone had already informed the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe, and at this time, looking from a distance, he could see the chaos in the Stinky Grass Tribe.

The sudden arrival of this team made them panic and wonder at the same time.

Soon the leader of the Stinky Grass tribe had come out with a number of warriors to greet them, kneeling on the patina, their knees stained with purple flowers.

"Get up, get up, is the Stinky Grass Tribe living here?"

Fifth Xuan was so excited that his words were a little light.

The three generations of Baicao Witch and Chuan Tapir Witch keenly noticed this change, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

"Thanks to the care of the great fire totem, with the support of the frozen fish of the Earth Spirit Department, the Stinky Grass Tribe is no longer plagued by hunger, and has received the support of the Yellow Millet Seed and Cattle Tribe, and is ready to start planting Yellow Millet to resist the hunger brought by the Ice Age. ”

There was a palpable sense of gratitude in the chief's words, which made the ox totem quite complacent.

"Look, that's the people of our Niu tribe, and each of them is the kind of talent that the Lord Ming said. ”

The cow totem pointed to the cow tribesman who was kneeling beside the leader of the stinky grass tribe.

At this time, he seemed to have forgotten that this people were from the origin of savages, and at the same time did not dislike their stupidity.

"The Niu tribe does have a lot of talents, and I will let more people enter the Niu tribe in the future. ”

Fifth Xuan is in a good mood and doesn't mind revealing some of his own arrangements to the cow totem.

Hearing this, an obvious smile appeared on Niu Totem's face, and he opened his big mouth to reveal a mouthful of big white teeth, and a pair of big bull's eyes narrowed into slits.

The Moon Totem looked at the Ox Totem with envy, and then looked at the Fifth Xuan.

Expanding the number of the Ox Tribe is an idea that the Fifth Xuan has long had, from the hunting era to the farming era, it is the only way for the Fire Tribe, and the Niu Tribe who is good at planting must be the top priority.

This is related to the future of the entire tribe, how can the Fifth Xuan not focus on cultivation.

Hunting a person can only feed one or two people, farming is different, a person can top several hunting, this is the biggest difference between the two.

Only by raising more people with fewer people can the labor force be liberated and further developed.

Fifth Xuan pressed these thoughts, communicated a few more words with the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe, and offered to go to their tribe to see their totem.

For the stinky grass tribe totem, the fifth Xuan is still quite curious, I don't know if the totem will be a big copper block, after all, the totem fire is very hot, and it has been burning for many years, so I can't make this tribe have already refined copper.

Entering the Stinky Grass Tribe, the Fifth Xuan soon saw the Stinky Grass Tribe Totem Stone, which was a copper mine, not a large copper block, which made the Fifth Xuan slightly disappointed.

After communicating a few words with the stinky grass totem, he found that this guy was a little stupid, and it was estimated that Lingzhi was born for a short time, which made the fifth Xuan slightly surprised.

The Stinky Grass Tribe Witches are so smart, but their totems are very stupid, which is really a bit weird.

Normally, a tribe's totem is smart to make its followers smart, and if the tribe's totem is stupid - such as the cow totem - then most of his followers will also be stupid.

"Your witch once didn't belong to your tribe, did you?"

Fifth Xuan asked the stinky grass totem.

"He was picked up from the snow by the previous generation of witches, and I don't know which tribe he belongs to. ”

The answer given by the stinky grass totem reflected the fifth mystery's guess, and the fifth metatom had no more interest in communicating with it so far.

His gaze turned to the totem fire of the Stinky Grass tribe, and found that there were some red copper nuggets in some places under the totem fire, which further reflected that this was an open-pit copper mine.

And it looks like the quality is not bad...... Fifth Xuan thought with joy.

This night, the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe held a grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of the fire totem, but Fifth Xuan was not interested in it, but because of the situation, he did not leave the scene early.

In the evening, the Fifth Xuan did not let the team live in the stinky grass tribe, but chose to find a place next to it and set up a temporary station.

At the same time, he informed everyone that the team was going to be here for a while, and how long it would be uncertain for the time being.

This made everyone puzzled, but the fifth Xuan was not in the mood to explain, so he lit the totem fire that night and prepared to smelt copper overnight.

How to smelt copper in the future generations, Fifth Xuan is not clear, but he plans to directly use totem fire to refine, after all, the temperature of totem fire is controllable, and it can reach extremely high temperatures.

Directly wrapped some scattered ores on the ground with flames, the yang attribute totem fire began to rise non-stop, making the entire totem fire become scorching.

This change naturally attracted the attention of a group of witches, who gathered in front of the totem fire, watching the stone mines tumbling in the totem fire in confusion.

The flames gradually heated up, and slowly the ore began to melt, and some residues appeared, and the Fifth Xuan directly controlled the totem fire to separate them and continue to urge the flame to refining.

Slowly, the ore was completely melted, all the impurities in the middle disappeared, and the Fifth Xuan controlled the Yin Attribute Totem Fire to accept the pure copper liquid, and controlled to stretch it out and make it look like a long sword.

The Yin Attribute Flame began to cool down the copper liquid, and the liquid slowly turned into a solid, and finally turned into a purple-red long sword.

Fifth Xuan's brows furrowed, he remembered that the bronze sword was not this color, this color was more like the copper wire he had seen, and the copper wire was extremely soft and not suitable for a long sword.

Is bronze an alloy?

Fifth Xuan made a guess in his heart, thought about the description of Qing, and became more convinced.

If it was an alloy, it would be too troublesome, he had no idea what was combined with copper to form bronze, and he didn't know where to find another material.

The purple-red sword cooled down completely, emitting a metallic luster, and the Fifth Xuan threw it out of totem fire.

"Smack. ”

The one-meter-long purple-red long sword fell to the ground, and it happened that there was a stone there, and the long sword happened to fall on it, and there were actually slight creases.

This...... It's too fragile.

Fifth Xuan suddenly remembered that he had seen a documentary that seemed to have introduced that before the appearance of iron swords, bronze swords were very short, because the texture of copper was very soft, and it was easy to bend if it was too long.

Toughness is more than enough, hardness is insufficient.

Fifth Xuan gave such an evaluation in his heart, and then he motioned for the three generations of Baicao Witches to step forward and see how this long sword was.

Through the modeling, the three generations of Baicao Witch can confirm that this is a sword, but it is not a sword made of stone, but a ...... Burnt stones.

The three generations of Baicao Witch stepped forward and picked up the purple-red long sword, and waved it twice, and the long sword actually showed a significant bend.

Fifth Xuan covered his face in the totem fire, he didn't know whether to say that the three generations of Baicao Witch were strong, or if this long sword was too soft.

"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this long sword is too thin, I remember that the swords in the Spring and Autumn Period were all short and thick, and you can try to refine that kind of short sword later. ”

Fifth Xuan pondered, looking at the three generations of Baicao Witch waving his long sword there.

"I'll try. ”

Zhuo suddenly spoke, and offered to try this long sword that he had never seen before.

The three generations of Baicao Witch skimmed the long sword in his hand, grabbed the long sword in the air, and shook his right hand vigorously, and the long sword was actually bent on the spot.

Everyone present was a little speechless, and Zhuo looked at the long sword in his hand with some astonishment.

"It's okay, throw it into the totem fire. ”

Fifth Xuan directly issued an order for Zhuo to throw the long sword into the totem fire.

The long sword was thrown into the totem fire, and the fifth Xuan directly blew the scorching yang attribute totem fire, quickly refining the long sword into copper water.

Next, he used the Yin attribute totem fire to take over, this time he did not make a long sword, but made a short sword, about thirty centimeters, the sword body is very thick, and the sword spine is particularly prominent.

The dagger ejected out, and this time he directly controlled the direction and shot the dagger into front of the burning eyes.

He grabbed the dagger in one hand, and with a twist of his wrist, the dagger spun around in his hand, and then he took several stances.

Slash, stab, block......

Fifth Xuankan's heart was frightened, and he was afraid that this short sword would bend like the previous long sword, but this time the situation was much better, and nothing changed.

"I'll try it with totemic power. ”

Sear your mouth and prepare to wield your totem power.

Warriors who use the power of the totem, their strength, speed, and reaction will increase a lot, and he said that he was afraid that this short sword would bend in the face of greater power like the previous long sword, and it would be difficult to explain to the fire totem.

Fifth Xuan naturally didn't mind, this was originally for the warriors, and it was bound to bear greater strength.

"Hum. ”

Totemic power emerged from Zhuo's body, and power spread out from all around him, including his sword-holding right hand, which also carried totemic power.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhuo was about to make a few movements, and suddenly found that the totem power in his hand was actually spreading along the short sword.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, and the black and white indefinite totem power in the burning hand followed the hilt of the red copper short sword upward, slowly and completely wrapping the entire short sword.

This change is really surprising.
