Chapter 96: Potatoes and Dragon Slayers
The tranquility of Taoyuan Village was shattered by the arrival of a stranger.
Almost all of the samurai in the village were sent out to hunt wild beasts.
The old people and children organized themselves and began to collect potatoes.
The women gathered tendons and twine and began to weave ropes.
The only blacksmith workshop in the village, a dense jingle sounded.
Seven days, they only have seven days, and these seven days will decide the fate of everyone.
They didn't know that more than 100 years ago, the village had also planned a dragon slaying operation.
But it was a failed operation, and they paid a heavy price.
Half of the people in the village were killed by Long Ying.
Ye Changsheng, accompanied by Xin Ru, came to the altar where the dragon eagle was enshrined.
The altar is made of huge boulders and sits on high ground outside the village, unobstructed and away from the Crescent Lake.
This fire-attribute dragon eagle was really smart and chose the altar in this place.
The mountain wall opposite the altar is lower than anywhere else.
If the only entrance and exit of Taoyuan Village is closed, then Long Ying can escape from here.
Flying up to the altar, a fishy smell came to his face, and Ye Changsheng's eyes hurt.
On the black ground, a thick layer of blood plasma was solidified, and there were some unknown hairs and fragments of organs scattered on it.
Condescendingly, the whole village was in full view, and Changsheng pondered.
On the surface, it seems that the clouds are light and breezy, but in fact, he is very nervous in his heart.
At the moment when he reached a cooperation with Xin Wenxiong, the lives of more than 1,000 people in Taoyuan Village were tied to him.
It was the Wuji Demon Venerable who used potatoes to slay the dragon back then, not him.
The statement that the potato slays the dragon is also exaggerated, and the nightshade toxin in the potato can only make the dragon fall into a temporary paralysis and win a chance to slay the dragon.
Who knows, the dragon eagle that grows between the poor mountains and bad waters, will be immune to nightshade poison?
In the memory of Wuji Demon Venerable, there are actually several more stable dragon slaying plans, but the only ones that are suitable for the conditions of Taoyuan Village are potatoes.
So yesterday, when he returned to the cabin, Changsheng entered the Ura Realm, and it took him three or four days to come up with a solid plan.
The four or five days of meditation in the Jiluo realm were just a sleepless night in Taoyuan Village.
The place chosen by Changsheng to slay the dragon was at the altar.
After looking at the terrain, Ye Changsheng floated down and said to the bored Xin Ru: "Sister Xin, let's go." ”
Suddenly, a faint but pure yin aura was instantly captured by him.
Ye Changsheng's heart jumped suddenly, and he looked at a collapsed mountain peak not far away.
Xin Ru followed Ye Changsheng's gaze and explained unsuspectingly: "Over there is the village's cemetery, and in order to prevent the dragon eagle from destroying it, we have arranged some camouflages. ”
Ye Changsheng nodded without moving, and walked towards the village.
The top priority of the entire dragon slaying plan is naturally the creation of crossbow machines and crossbow arrows, and this is Changsheng's strength.
Not far away, the captain of the samurai team and the leader of the Seven Samurai, Xin Wuguo, was training the seven black panthers.
The seven leopards, with smooth bodies and sturdy bodies, their black fur as smooth as satin, followed Xin Wuguo's gestures, constantly making fluttering and volleying and flying movements, neatly and neatly.
Ye Changsheng was amazed, but he disagreed with Xin Wuguo's training.
These seven leopards are just ordinary beasts, and letting them deal with the dragon eagle with dragon blood is tantamount to moths to a fire.
In any case, Ye Changsheng would not let the Black Panther participate in the battle.
Changsheng asked curiously, "Sister Xin, Senior Xin is a beast master?"
Xin Ru shook her head and smiled: "I don't understand the words outside of you, when the beasts are very young, we will bring them to feed and train them, this is a craft passed down from our ancestors." ”
Ye Changsheng suddenly looked at the black panther with uniform movements, and asked again, "Then can you tell which one is your mount?"
Xin Ru looked at Ye Changsheng like an idiot and walked straight forward.
Ye Changsheng smiled and chased after him.
This question is quite stupid, if the seven swords are arranged in a row, even if the difference is small, he can tell it.
There are beast masters, well-trained warriors, and weapons made of fine iron, Taoyuan Village has a deep heritage, and the workshops in the village did not disappoint Ye Changsheng.
At the downwind of the village, there is a tall furnace, and in the courtyard surrounded by earthen walls, there is also a storehouse and a material room.
In terms of scale, it is larger than the workshop in the back garden of Yefu.
In an open field, more than a dozen giant crossbow arrows were placed on the anvil, and a dozen big men were wielding hammers and beating hard.
Ye Changsheng nodded secretly, the hammer skills of these big men are at least at the intermediate level of apprentices in the Wenjian Hall, and it is more than enough to create crossbow arrows.
Picking up a piece of iron ore casually, a look of surprise flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
This kind of high-purity iron ore, which is rarely produced in the Bai family's mines, will appear here.
It's no wonder that the warriors of Taoyuan Village are so well equipped, and if their sword forging furnace has a spirit gathering array, the texture of the weapon can be greatly improved.
While looking around, suddenly, an old man walked towards Ye Changsheng menacingly, blocking the way.
The old man was burly, with a black-brown face, and a few burn scars on his face, which looked very fierce.
"You are Ye Gongzi!" The old man's broken gong voice made a loud sound, and Ye Changsheng's ears trembled.
Xin Ru stepped forward nervously and said, "Fifth Uncle, is there something wrong?"
Xin Wu sneered: "What can I do, the village chief let a hairy boy command here blindly, just with those strange objects, can slay the dragon?!"
As soon as the word dragon slaying came out, the people in the workshop all stopped and looked at Ye Changsheng one after another.
Some are curious, some are dismissive, some are skeptical, and some are even more unabashedly dismissive.
Xin Wu's "strange objects" refer to the parts that assemble the crossbow machine, which have different functions and different requirements for immortality.
The load-bearing parts can be a little rougher, the connectors must withstand the high temperatures generated by friction, and the ejection parts must have some flexibility.
In this way, the crossbow machine assembled in this way can exert the greatest power.
There were too many links involved, Ye Changsheng was not easy to explain, so he simply picked up a three-edged crossbow arrow and said to Xin Wu: "Old Xin, at the current speed, we can assemble a new crossbow machine tomorrow, so let's give it a try and see the effect when the time comes." ”
Xin Wu's face was pale, the previous crossbow machine was designed and built by him with great effort, Ye Changsheng said so, that is, it was intended to compare.
Xin Wu said: "Okay, then tomorrow, I want to see what kind of tricks you can play!"
Turning around, Xin Wu glared at the people watching the excitement, and said angrily: "Are you all idle!"
Everyone was silent, hurriedly returned to their respective positions, and began to get busy again.
Late at night, the villagers who had been busy all day had already fallen asleep.
In the cabin, Ye Changsheng opened his eyes and sat up from the hard bed.
He changed into his training clothes, and after leaving the room, he walked in the direction of the altar.
