Chapter 127: Sacrifice

Liu Zhi felt that this black bow was very strange, although it looked a little shabby, but the shape was simple and exquisite, the bow body was engraved with a hollow pattern, and the bowstring was faintly shining, not like a primitive tribe like a half-werewolf could make it.

On top of that, there seems to be some psionic energy left on it, and it's gradually dissipating at an extremely slow rate.

The probe took it, the weight was appropriate, about fifty or sixty pounds, two fingers buckled the bowstring, and only four parts of the force were needed to easily pull out the full bow.

With such intensity, the limit distance when shooting directly is about 150 meters, and the speed of the arrow will be nearly half slower, which is definitely much inferior to the hexagonal bow.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Zhi suddenly found that there was a small notch carved at the left and right ends of the bow body, which was hexagonal, only the size of a fingernail, and the edge was shiny, which was the so-called "pulp", which should be formed by perennial play.

The distance between the two chisels and the middle of the bow body is almost exactly the same, it should have been accurately measured, and the bowstring is hanging just below the notch, forming a flowing whole, seeing this, Liu Zhi suddenly thought of one thing, and the vitality leaked out from the palm of the hand, and quickly poured into the bow body.

The black bow suddenly lit up, glowing with dark light, Liu Zhi's hand suddenly sank, and he felt that the bow body suddenly became several times heavier, but it only lasted for a short moment, and then it returned to normal, and the vitality that poured into the bow body also dissipated at this moment.

"This ......" Liu Zhi was slightly surprised, he had heard of a material in his previous life, called "Magic Iron", which was an excellent conductor of vitality, and the transmission of vitality into the magic iron could increase the hardness, toughness, and even weight of the magic iron, and the thicker the vitality, the higher the increase.

However, this kind of magic iron is extremely rare, and I haven't heard of anyone who finds a material that can block or slow down the loss of vitality, and the vitality cannot be stored in it, and the amplification effect will disappear in an instant.

The test just now proved that this black bow must have been made with a lot of magic iron, and even if it was made entirely of magic iron.

"Could it be that these two notches were originally used to place blocking materials?" Liu Zhi thought in surprise: "The half-werewolves were once in the ruling class of the other world, this black bow, could it be the product of their glory in the beginning?" However, I've never seen a half-werewolf who can cultivate vitality? The witchcraft of the wolf witch can also increase mental power and control demon beasts at most, but its own combat power is extremely weak. ”

Liu Zhi felt that this might be related to the half-werewolf being "exiled", but there was one thing he couldn't figure out, the border area was vast, the monsters were everywhere, the mineral resources were extremely rich, and the rock clan was not far from here, why didn't they develop this place before humans crossed over?

Don't?

Liu Zhi suddenly thought of a possibility, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and his face became solemn.

The strange appearance of the black bow flooding, Hou Dajie and Xu Liang could see it clearly next to them, and when they saw Liu Zhi's face immediately changed again, the former couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Zhi, what's wrong?" ”

The latter also said, "Chief, but what's so strange about this bow?" ”

Liu Zhi shook his head, he knew that this idea could not be verified at this stage, so he didn't think much about it, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's withdraw to the safe realm first." ”

It's not that he's afraid of encountering other half-werewolf troops, the other party has lost nearly fifty people here, and if he wants to go on a large-scale expedition, there will be no more than a hundred people at most, he brought twenty bags of arrows out, and he consumed them to death, he was mainly afraid of the guardian demon beasts of the half-werewolf tribe.

Not every half-werewolf tribe will have guardian demon beasts, but as long as there are, even the weakest tribes, guardian demon beasts are usually level 3, and level 2 and level 4 are relatively rare.

Third-level demon beasts, as long as they are not particularly powerful, Liu Zhi thinks he can deal with them, but at the fourth level, he can only flee in the wilderness, and only when the Xuan Body is completed can he have the power to fight.

This is also the main reason why he wants to investigate the situation of the half-werewolf tribe before deciding on the follow-up action.

Moreover, since this tribe has domesticated demon birds, the possibility of guarding demon beasts is relatively much greater, Liu Zhi himself is not afraid, but as the leader, everything has to be considered from the overall situation, these warriors are carefully selected, and each one cannot be easily lost.

Returning the black bow to Hou Dajie and asking him to keep it safe, Liu Zhi led everyone to leave quickly, and every other distance along the way, he would let people leave secret notes, so that the other four reconnaissance teams could follow the tracks.

More than two hours later, on a hill with a wide view, all the soldiers gathered in front of five bonfires, some were concentrating on roasting meat, some were burying their heads in dry food, some were checking equipment and weapons, and some were chatting in a low voice, not far from the grass, three corpses were lying there, and there were more than a dozen people digging a pit on the side.

Liu Zhi sat around Wu Yang, Xu Liang, and Hou Dajie, and the four reconnaissance teams had rushed back, and the losses in this battle were counted: the two were seriously injured, although they were still in a coma, their lives were safe. Five people were killed in battle, only two people died on the frontal battlefield, one was killed by an arrow through the eye socket, the other was killed by a spear, both bodies were snatched back, as for the other three, they were all from one of the reconnaissance teams, they also encountered a large force of half-werewolves, as a result, two were killed on the spot, and the other three broke out of the encirclement, because they did not receive timely treatment, the team leader with three fatal wounds died on the road.

The winger desperately snatched back the two comrades-in-arms, Liu Zhi also heard Xu Liang say, a little surprised, but also a little embarrassed, he has not been with the winger for a short time, and he has a one-sided understanding of his personality, originally Chen Mo's file did not happen, with the character and ability shown by the winger, even if he is just an ordinary awakened person, his status in the tribe is at least not below Qiu Yuancai.

And now, Liu Zhi can only do it at most, regardless of thickness and thinness, reward and punishment, and there is no exception.

There are brave and brave people who are willing to fight to the death, and naturally there are also people who are afraid to retreat, but fortunately, there are only a few people, and because of Liu Zhi's timely appearance, he finally mustered back his courage and turned around to kill the enemy.

This is a very normal thing in Liu Zhi's opinion, the training ground has never been able to cultivate real iron-blooded elites, he has seen too many brave guys on weekdays in his previous life, pee his pants as soon as he goes to the battlefield, and some people who look ordinary perform extremely well on the battlefield.

What's more, this is their first real battle.

Of course, understanding is understanding, Liu Zhi didn't plan to let them go, at least a verbal warning must be given, as for whether to add other punishments, such as fines, notifications, confinement, etc., Liu Zhi let Xu Liang, Wu Yang, and Long Zhen, the commander of the first company of the Guards Battalion, decide for themselves, after all, they are the direct officials.

The specific reward and punishment plan was set, and the three pits over there were also dug, Liu Zhi gave an order, and everyone gathered in front of the cave, and in a solemn manner, Liu Zhi read out the eulogy, affirming and praising the merits of the five sacrificed soldiers, and promised to enshrine their spiritual positions forever in the tribe's martyrs' shrine for future generations to pay tribute to.

After finishing speaking, Hou Dajie shouted loudly: "Salute! ”

Syllable!

Nearly fifty people raised their right hands vigorously and made a solemn military salute, and those close to the deceased were all red in their eyes and choked in their throats.

"Rite over!"

Everyone put down their hands and watched Liu Zhi and several chief officers take matters into the cave one after another, and the first piece of soil is Liu Zhi himself threw down, and then everyone went up to help, quickly filled the hole, and erected a temporary wooden tablet, which was engraved with the names of the three sacrificed soldiers, the age of birth and death, gender and place of origin.

And the two people whose bodies are not there plan to return to the tribe and then set up a clothed mound.

After the wooden stele was erected, he offered the roasted meat and wild fruits that had been prepared and put them in front of the stele, Liu Zhi took out the water bladder he carried, pulled out the stopper, and said in a hoarse tone: "Five brothers, today I can only use water instead of wine to see you off, you can rest assured, I will let people make wine when I go back, and every year in the future, I will prepare good wine and good meat to pay tribute to your soul in the sky." ”

"Go all the way!"

After that, he sprinkled a whole bag of water, with a serious expression and serious movements, which was hopeful.
